Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light

"Since that day, they took your little sister away from you and sent you to live in another house... alone. You've always been alone, just like me," said the angel, lowering her head.

"But that changed. We're not entirely alone anymore. We have Arthur, right? With him, we won't be alone, right? If we believe it, it's supposed to be just the three of us... but we can't, it's impossible, those other bitches want him for themselves too...

What do you think? Will he abandon us?" The angel moved her body, trying to break the chains that were all over her. "Damn it! He's going to abandon us too!"

"He won't!" Leslie gritted her teeth as she shouted. She felt her body tremble a little at the mere thought of Arthur leaving her, like her parents had.

"Ha! How can you be so sure of that? You know Arthur is just a demon! What if his goal is to use us? And then discard us? Demons are known for seeking humanity's annihilation, but we're not any different from them..." The angel's voice lowered a bit.

"We are at odds with ourselves... they all want a piece of his soul to find some peace... we're all bound."

"He won't abandon me..." Leslie sat back down, lowered her head, hugged her legs, and fell silent.

"Why did he hide the fact that he's a demon from you? You can't be sure until you ask him yourself. Like I said, words are the most powerful thing there is. You need to talk to him. In the end... answers are all you need." She laughed weakly.

"Do you think he loves you? Does he feel the same way you do? You don't know that either, ask him and find out."

"Are you helping me?" Leslie looked at her suspiciously. "Why not?" the angel shrugged. "We're the same, we're alone. Consider it a small favor from me."

"But I'm scared..." Leslie whispered. "What if he really does leave me?" she asked. "If that happens, I'll take control of your body. Your mind won't be able to handle the impact, hahaha, it will be the perfect time to get out of this place! See? You don't realize it!

It's a 50/50 chance, in the end, one of us will lose. A beautiful gamble." The angel chuckled darkly.

She lowered her head a little. "She says you're going to leave me... Are you going to leave me?" She squeezed my hand tighter... a dim light began to emanate from her body. "She also says you don't love me..."

Looking directly into her eyes...

"Who told you that?" I asked with a smile, and with my other hand, I gently stroked the hand she held. Leslie's desperate expression calmed a little, and she lowered her head. "Are you a demon?" she asked weakly.

Feeling the blood drain from my face, I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart... I looked down like her. "Did you always know?" I tried to steady my voice as much as possible to hide my anxiety.

Leslie looked up and stared at me. "Why didn't you tell me?" She tilted her head slightly. "Well... it's quite complicated..." Scratching my head, how was I supposed to tell her I'm not actually human? It's a very delicate subject for me... but the question circling my mind was, how the hell did she know?

Does everyone know by now? I put on a grim expression.

"I can understand it... after all, the empire hates demons with a passion..." Leslie laughed a little to herself as if she thought her question was silly. "You know, I don't really care if you're a demon, but it hurt that you didn't tell me..."

"Well... I was scared." Arthur laughed to himself like Leslie had. He also felt immense fear when he realized he was a demon. Even now, if given the chance to possess the protagonist, he wouldn't hesitate for a second.

"It's going down..." I thought to myself. "I'm scared too." Leslie turned her gaze to mine... "I'm scared you'll abandon me. I don't want you to leave me. I won't be able to bear it if you do..." she started to ramble again...

[Fourth Seraphim: Sealed (8%)]

"Calm down," speaking as softly as possible, I moved closer to her, smiling as I gently stroked her head with my other hand. "Why do you think I would abandon you?" I asked as I pulled her into my chest. She let herself be guided by my hand, resting her head on my chest. "I don't know... I'm confused!" she let go of my hand and hugged me tightly. "But...

Evelyn is getting too close... I feel insecure," she murmured.

Well, it's true that Evelyn has been getting closer, but it's not like she's done anything wrong. All she does when she gets near me is sleep... "Is someone feeling jealous?" I teased. She raised her head, her cheeks turning red. "I'm not!" She shook her head.

Placing my hands on her warm cheeks... "I won't abandon you." I never had any intention of abandoning her! Who in the world would leave this woman! As I said, she's my favorite yandere. "Really?" She opened her eyes wide. "You won't leave me like my parents?" She moved even closer, her eyes filling with tears.

"Don't leave me..." she said like a puppy, burying her head back into my chest.

"I won't," I whispered, stroking her soft back.

In silence, I felt my shirt slowly getting wet...

Step... Step...

Turning my gaze, I saw Evelyn approaching quietly... with three fruits in her hands. She sat down next to me, reached out her hand, and started to gently stroke Leslie's head.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Leslie looked up and frowned a little, but... "Here, eat. You haven't eaten much, you need strength," Evelyn handed her a red fruit. Leslie hesitated a bit, but then reluctantly reached out and took the fruit... "T-thank you..." Holding the fruit in her hands, she looked at Evelyn. "Arthur is mine..."

Evelyn looked at her for a few moments. "Of course he is," she said with a small smile. But still, she stood up again and sat down on my left side, placing her head on my shoulder and closing her eyes. Leslie watched her, showing her teeth, but then turned her attention back to the fruit. Pouting, she rested her head on my other shoulder and began eating in silence...

"What a beautiful night, isn't it?" I asked randomly, gazing at the beautiful sky. It was completely black, not beautiful at all, but I just wanted to say it...

"Yes," Evelyn responded with her eyes closed.

"It is," Leslie also answered.

As I suspected, they didn't care if it was beautiful or not, what mattered most to them was being close to me...
