Raphiel questioned Rei Ao about the vile act he committed against Gabriel.
Naly the "oral business."
Recalling how Gabriel was coughing violently as she left the room, with her hair and face sprinkled in "white fluff," made Raphiel feel an intense chill.
Faced with such accusations, Rei Ao maintained an air of calm and composure.
He blocked the wardrobe door.
"Let's set aside whatever I did or didn't do with Gabriel. Let ask you, Raphiel—haven't you heard of sothing called 'mutual consent'?"
"You an you and her were mutually consenting?"
"Weren't we? I gave Gabriel a large amount of money to top up her ga, and in order to 'repay' this favor, she provided with certain relaxation services. Makes sense, no?"
"Twisting the facts!"
A naive little angel might be fooled by Rei Ao's argunts, but Raphiel clearly wasn't naïve.
She pinpointed the most crucial detail:
"Under human law, that's called a 'transaction of sexual favors.' It's illegal!"
Clap clap!
Rei Ao applauded her in approval.
"As expected of Raphiel. You've really learned how to apply all that knowledge of the human world, unlike Satania, who's so easy to fool."
"Achoo!"
anwhile—two rooms away—Satania sneezed.
"Satania, did you catch a cold?"
Vignette asked in concern.
"Huh? Demons can get colds?"
Satania scratched her head. "Feels like soone out there is talking about ."
"Could it be your Master?"
"…Hmm, maybe you're overthinking it."
A blush crept over Vignette's cheeks.
Because whenever she thought of Satania's Master, Rei Ao, all sorts of strange images and noises surfaced in her mind, making her heart pound in a way she couldn't control.
And…so tiny secret hopes as well.
"Hey, Satania, hasn't Rei Ao said he'd teach you anything new lately?"
"Ah, Master hasn't ntioned anything."
Satania blinked her big eyes, cocking her head as she asked blankly, "Vigne, why'd you bring that up all of a sudden—do you need money for living expenses again?"
"Eh? I…I…"
Vignette's gaze darted around in a panic. She hadn't expected clueless Satania to pick up on her words and make such a bold guess. Before she could respond, Satania pounded one fist into her other palm.
"That's it. I've decided—I'm going to see Master in a couple of days and have him teach sothing new!"
"Uh…"
Vignette let out a sigh of relief.
Good thing she hadn't been "seen through." If Satania had discovered her little secrets, she'd have died of embarrassnt.
She wondered what Rei Ao would actually teach Satania. Instantly, a ss of lewd scenes popped up in her mind, making her blush uncontrollably.
She felt a secret bit of anticipation in her heart. On the surface, though, she concealed it well, revealing no sign to Satania.
…
Back on Raphiel's side, she was speechless. She found she had no way and no grounds to refute Rei Ao's behavior.
He wasn't hiding his motives, and his arrangent with Gabriel was exactly as he said: "mutual consent." The only angle left was—
"Haven't you considered that doing this might cause Gabriel to sink further into depravity?"
Hoping he might at least spare so sympathy for that, Raphiel asked him to take it easy.
But Rei Ao rely lifted a finger and waggled it from side to side.
"Gabriel's fall stems from her gaming addiction, not from any perverse transactions. I won't accept such baseless accusations."
"… …"
Yes, gaming addiction was the root cause of Gabriel's downfall. Even Raphiel couldn't deny that.
"What are you guys doing?"
Right then, Gabriel—her face still damp from rinsing off—ca back. She eyed Rei Ao suspiciously.
"Why is my closet open? Pervert, creeper… Are you trying to do sothing weird with my clothes? You never asked permission—"
She touched her sore lips, simultaneously shy and resentful.
Who storms in without a word and forcibly pushes sothing inside soone else's mouth? Truly despicable!
"Stop griping. I was just grabbing so clothes for you to change into."
Rei Ao grabbed sothing, then, under Raphiel's anxious stare, casually nudged the closet door closed.
"H-hey! Why do you have that?!"
Catching sight of what Rei Ao was holding, Gabriel's cheeks turned scarlet. It was that white underwear that, previously from a botched teleportation, had ended up stuck to Rei Ao's face. Once he'd given it back, she'd never worn it again.
"Heh,"
Rei Ao's gaze flicked to Gabriel's baggy T-shirt.
"You can't hide anything from my eyes. Go change. If you stay in that dampness, you'll feel chilly."
With that, he tossed the undies at her. Gabriel caught them in her small hands and clenched them. Still warm from his touch and stung by his on-point remark, she burned with embarrassnt.
She felt uncomfortable now thanks to that damned physical reaction. Even though she was an angel, her body wasn't so different from that of a human.
"Get out while I change!"
"No need. I'll just turn around."
He turned away cheerfully.
"You—!"
Gabriel was about to protest, but Rei Ao raised a finger calmly:
"Ten thousand. If you change now."
"???"
She instantly realized what that "ten thousand" ant. Her petite body trembled slightly.
"What, are you flaunting money to control ?"
He extended a second finger.
"Twenty thousand."
"Don't even think about it!"
He extended a third.
"Thirty thousand—my final offer."
"… …"
Silence. But silence is golden. A mont later ca the soft rustle of fabric.
Shortly after…
"Finished."
Rei Ao turned around.
He saw Gabriel with one hand tucked behind her back, the other hand open, beckoning.
"Hand over the money."
"A real little money-grubber, aren't you?"
[Your bank account has received 30,000!]
"Are you serious?!"
Gabriel herself was startled at how easily Rei Ao transferred the money without a fuss. She recalled how, in the past, borrowing twenty thousand from him always required kisses or foot/hand services.
This ti, she borrowed one hundred thousand—and was forced to swallow many indescribable things. Now rely turning her back on him to switch her underwear had earned her thirty thousand?
Tsk.
Gabriel felt as if she'd discovered an incredible money-making opportunity! Subconsciously, she rembered the underwear she'd just taken off behind her back. She'd heard there were many odd humans who liked collecting sothing like that…
So she tentatively asked, "Ahem, want this?"
She held out the freshly worn underwear.
"Thirty thousand!"
She made three fingers, then—feeling that was too high—anded it to one.
"No, ten thousand—sold to you!"
