"Yui? Are you still not up?"
A voice called from outside the door—it was Yui's mom.
Sunlight stread through the curtains, illuminating Yui's face. However, the exhausted Yui had no intention of waking up.
"Yui, I'm coming in now, okay?"
Hearing no response from inside, her mother gave a warning before opening the door.
Click!
Yui's mom entered, her expression tinged with concern.
She had heard that "first tis" could lead to discomfort or even sickness. Even with precautions like condoms, there could still be issues.
But as her mother entered the room, Yui had already sat up, stretching lazily with a big yawn.
"Haaah~"
She rubbed her eyes and looked drowsily at her mother.
"Mom? Did you call ?"
"…"
For a mont, Yui's mother froze.
Yui didn't look sick at all. In fact, she seed perfectly fine—perhaps she had just overslept.
Relieved, her mother softened her tone.
"It's already noon, Yui. Ti to get up and have lunch."
"Eh?"
Even Yui was surprised she had slept so long. No wonder she felt so well-rested.
Now fully awake, yesterday's events replayed in her mind.
Her heart skipped a beat, and doubt crept in.
Was it a dream? Or was it real?
"What are you spacing out for? Go wash up and eat."
Her mother tugged her gently, urging her out of bed.
"Oh, okay, I'm getting up."
…
Elsewhere, Rei Ao's aura suddenly surged again.
He had leveled up—again.
He knew this must be the result of Velzard and Velgrynd's efforts. Monts later, both sent him private ssages.
Velzard: "Is that dragon by your side strong?"
Velgrynd: "Hmph! How dare another dragon claim you before ! (angry fla emoji)"
It wasn't about his power-up; they were both focused on Tohru.
Because they, too, were dragons.
Rei Ao patiently replied to each of them.
Rei Ao: "Tohru's strength doesn't compare to yours."
Rei Ao: "But whether it's Tohru or you, I love you all unconditionally."
Velzard: "Hmm, I'll trust you on that."
Velgrynd: "Hmph, you're just a shaless flirt. Whatever, co fulfill your promise soon. I'm waiting for a proper mate-bonding session."
Rei Ao: "I'll do my best."
Though Velgrynd was impatient, Rei Ao needed more ti before defeating the Guy Crimson.
After appeasing his two dragon partners, he faced another challenge: a jealous Mai.
"Why did Tohru confess to you after just one day?"
Before Rei Ao could answer, Tohru hugged him from behind, pressing her substantial curves against his neck. She affectionately rubbed her cheek against his hair.
"Because Rei Ao saved . In human culture, you call this repaying kindness with love."
Mai's eye twitched as she watched the scene.
She couldn't ignore the impressive pressure Tohru's curves exerted on Rei Ao's shoulders.
That size was nearly world-class, wasn't it?
If Rei Ao knew what Mai was thinking, he'd tell her that Tohru wasn't even close to true world-class status.
The title belonged to one of Tohru's friends.
Rei Ao took Tohru's hand in his and played with her fingers, explaining, "It's basically like Tohru said."
"She confessed, so I accepted. It's perfectly reasonable, right?"
"You'll say yes to anyone, won't you?" Mai teased, pulling at the corner of her lips.
"Haha, only if they're beautiful."
If soone wasn't attractive, Rei Ao wouldn't hesitate to refuse.
For example, if Sayaka's mother, Yuriko, were an unattractive old hag, he'd turn her down in an instant.
He was pragmatic—and admittedly superficial.
"Hehe, Rei Ao says I'm beautiful."
Tohru's tail wagged happily.
But her affection quickly escalated.
Her eyes sparkled with faint heart-shaped pupils, and she began panting, leaning closer to Rei Ao's neck.
"Rei Ao, let's do it!"
"???"
Mai looked at Tohru with a mix of doubt and shock.
Was she really about to steal Rei Ao right in front of her?
Just as the overly eager Tohru wrapped her tail around Rei Ao and started to make a move—
"Boom!!!"
The entire building suddenly shook violently.
"Ahhh!!!"
Rei Ao also heard a piercing scream from Vignette.
Exchanging glances, Rei Ao and Mai quickly got up and rushed to the hallway.
There, they saw that the wall of Gabriel's apartnt had been blown open, leaving a massive hole. The door and walls were in complete shambles.
Standing amidst the wreckage was Vignette in her full demonic form.
"Sigh, what a ss. This is all your fault, Gabriel," Raphiel said, shaking her head in exasperation.
At the sa ti, Raphiel shifted into her angelic form and began casting magic to repair the damage and erase the mory of nearby tenants.
Vignette, who had clearly been the source of the destruction, finally cald down.
Raphiel gave an apologetic smile and said, "You might as well co inside. Sorry for disturbing you."
…
Inside Gabriel's apartnt, the living room was tense.
Gabriel and Vignette sat with their heads down in sha.
They were clearly the culprits behind the recent chaos.
Satania, on the other hand, was looking at Vignette in disbelief.
Was this really the sa calm and composed Vignette she knew?
Rei Ao could already tell that Gabriel must have been at the center of this incident.
"What happened just now? Even Vignette was enraged," he asked curiously.
Vignette fidgeted uncomfortably, lowering her head even more.
Raphiel, her usual smile hiding a sharp glint, turned her gaze toward Gabriel.
"This is all because of Gabriel. Here's what happened..."
…
An Hour and a Half Earlier
"Ding-dong!"
The doorbell to Gabriel and Raphiel's apartnt rang.
Raphiel opened the door to see Vignette and Satania standing outside.
"Raphiel, let's have a dinner today!" Vignette said cheerfully, holding a large bag of groceries.
Satania, as usual, puffed up her chest proudly and declared, "This isn't just a dinner; it's a competition! I'm here to prove that demons are better than you angels!"
"Oh, is that so?" Raphiel replied, clearly uninterested in Satania's boasting. Smiling warmly, she invited them inside.
"Where's Gabriel?" Vignette asked after setting down the groceries.
Raphiel glanced helplessly at Gabriel's closed bedroom door.
"She's probably tired… let's start cooking first. We'll call her later."
Gabriel's current state left Raphiel deeply troubled.
The once-radiant angel had fully embraced her fallen nature. She now spent nearly all her ti in her room, leaving only for als, bathroom breaks, or showers. Her halo, once a shining beacon, was now pitch black.
Whenever Raphiel comnted on it, Gabriel would simply take it off, wipe it clean, and say, "See? It's fine now," as the dark halo would montarily glow faintly.
Raphiel didn't even know what to say anymore.
After a while, Raphiel and Vignette had finished preparing a variety of dishes and had set the table with so drinks. Everything was ready, and it was ti to call Gabriel.
"I'll go get her," Vignette volunteered.
"Wait!" Raphiel tried to stop her, but Vignette was already heading toward Gabriel's bedroom door.
"…"
Raphiel covered her face, sensing trouble brewing.
Even she hadn't anticipated just how much chaos would unfold.
…
Vignette knocked gently on Gabriel's door.
"Knock knock!"
Gabriel cracked the door open slightly, peeking out cautiously.
"Hmm? Vignette? What is it?"
She was mid-ga and didn't want to open the door fully.
"We're having a dinner today. Co join us, Gabriel," Vignette said kindly.
"A dinner?" Gabriel repeated hesitantly.
She originally wanted to stay in her room to continue gaming, but the mont she saw the sharp edge in Vignette's "gentle" gaze, a chill ran down her spine.
It was as if a refusal would spell certain doom.
Swallowing nervously, Gabriel relented.
"F-fine, I'll co out in a bit."
She figured she could use the ti to clear a dungeon quickly.
"Great!" Vignette smiled, pleased, and turned to head back to the living room.
But just as she was about to leave, her eyes caught a tiny black speck moving along the floor.
At first, she couldn't make out what it was.
As it ca closer from Gabriel's room, however, its identity beca horrifyingly clear.
It was a cockroach.
A big one.
"!!!"
Vignette's eyes widened, and her entire body trembled.
A buzzing sound filled her ears, and before Gabriel could react, Vignette's demonic aura surged.
"Die, you vile creature!!!" she scread, summoning a fork and channeling magical energy into it.
"Boom!!!"
In the next mont, Gabriel's entire apartnt was blown apart.
…
Back in the Present
Mai looked at the damage with a complicated expression.
The noise they'd assud was an earthquake had turned out to be the result of a cockroach.
"A cockroach? In an angel's apartnt?" Mai muttered incredulously.
Satania ran to Gabriel's room.
"Wow! So much trash!" she exclaid, covering her nose in disgust.
"No wonder there were roaches, Gabriel! Your room's full of garbage bags!"
Raphiel sighed and crossed her arms.
"Gabriel, there's no point hiding it anymore. Just admit it."
Gabriel slumped in defeat.
"Fine," she muttered weakly.
She reluctantly explained her situation, detailing how she'd fallen so far.
When she finished, Vignette looked utterly stunned.
"Gabriel has fallen… how could this happen?"
Rei Ao raised an eyebrow.
"Vignette, you're a demon. Shouldn't you be thrilled to see an angel fall, like Satania over there?"
He gestured toward Satania, who was shaking uncontrollably.
The wannabe demon lord was clearly holding back laughter until she could no longer contain it.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! A fallen angel! Gabriel, I've finally won! The Great Demon Satania reigns supre! Wahaha!"
That was the kind of reaction Rei Ao had expected.
But Vignette? She was worried instead.
"Well… Gabriel is my friend. It doesn't feel right to be happy about this…"
Mai couldn't help but comnt.
"Vignette, you sound more like an angel than a demon."
Raphiel nodded in agreent.
"Vignette is rather special," she explained. "Even when surrounded by divine light, she remains completely unaffected. Gabriel's elder sister, the Seraph Zelel, once said that if Vignette were an angel, she could've beco a Seraph herself."
"Whoa," Mai whispered, stunned.
Every ti she thought she understood the situation, sothing even more absurd ca to light.
anwhile, Tohru's focus was entirely on Gabriel.
"A gaming-addicted angel… and now a fallen one? Can I see what your 'fallen' form looks like?"
Gabriel shrugged nonchalantly and revealed her black halo.
"!?"
Vignette beca even more distressed.
"Gabriel, isn't this bad for you?"
"Not really." Gabriel casually removed her black halo and wiped it clean.
Raphiel facepald as Gabriel once again demonstrated her ridiculous "fallen halo cleaning trick."
"What… how?" Satania gawked.
"You just wiped it, and it's bright again?!"
Even the demon didn't know this was possible.
"Isn't this common sense?" Gabriel asked, confused.
Rei Ao turned to Raphiel.
"Doesn't look like it's common sense to Raphiel, either."
"It's not," Raphiel admitted with a helpless smile. "If Zelel ever found out, I have no idea how she'd react."
"Probably split Gabriel in half," Rei Ao suggested.
"Please don't tell her!" Gabriel imdiately threw herself at everyone's feet, begging for their silence.
Rei Ao sighed.
"This won't help you, Gabriel. Play gas all you want, but at least clean your room."
"That's right!" Vignette chid in firmly.
"Gas are one thing, but hygiene is non-negotiable! Stand up, now!"
She dragged Gabriel back toward her room.
"Not a single piece of trash or roach left, got it?"
"F-fine…" Gabriel's weak reply drifted out as she was forced to comply.
Watching the scene, Raphiel turned to the others.
"Want to join us for so food? Vignette and I made it together."
"Is it good?" Tohru asked skeptically.
"Probably," Raphiel replied with a soft smile.
"It looks decent," Rei Ao observed. "I won't say no."
"Thanks for having us," Mai added politely.
