40. Then they’re this!
“Well, okay, thank you Uncle Lucifer. That’s it, bye~”
After making a distress call to her uncle, Evelyn finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lucifer had promised her that he would help her resolve this issue by tonight at the latest, which was basically a 100% guarantee, right?
After all, Uncle Lucifer was personally coming to Earth this time, which was probably the first time a fallen angel had ventured back since the great battle between Hell and Heaven. Forget about the Night Watchman division in Worry-Free City, even at the headquarters of the human Night Watchman, Lucifer could come and go as if he were at his own home!
Um, that phrase seems a bit off. Uncle Lucifer’s hometown is probably Heaven…
“What’s wrong? Are you still worrying about the blood issue?”
Emilia cheerfully pushed open the door to Evelyn’s bedroom and walked in. Upon seeing her somewhat gloating expression, Evelyn felt a bit uneasy.
“This is my room! Go back to your own room!”
“But this is also my family’s house~”
“I’m a tenant! Go play in your own room!”
“Eh? But my room isn’t tidied up yet!”
Emilia pouted in a wronged manner, but after being taken advantage of by her last night, Evelyn was no longer falling for her tricks. Evelyn glared at Emilia and said, “If it’s not tidied up, then go tidy it up!”
“Aw, I’m a little tired today~ Can’t I just stay over in Evelyn-chan’s room for a bit longer~”
With that, Emilia didn’t care whether Evelyn agreed or not and jumped onto Evelyn’s bed, giggling as she burrowed into her blankets.
“You brat…”
Evelyn knew it was impossible to kick Emilia out today, so she sulkily buried her head under the blankets and wrapped herself up like a little roll, resolutely giving Emilia no chance to touch her.
“You look so cute when you’re sulking~”
Emilia looked at the little roll next to her with a smile and, for some reason, found Evelyn even cuter, unable to resist wanting to tease her.
“Hehe~ Evelyn-chan, you’re not still bothered about the blood, are you? How about this? If you let me play with you for two days… uh, no, I mean if you let me be your pet for two days… cough, cough, I mean if you let me be your little maid for two days, I’ll help you think of a way to sneak in and destroy the samples at the Night Watchman, okay?”
“Hehe!”
In response to Emilia’s almost blatantly obvious proposal, Evelyn disdainfully scoffed. Lucifer had already promised to take action; did she really need to risk being pushed into something by Emilia?
Also, could that certain perverted angel tone down her intentions a bit? The whole thing made Evelyn quite scared.
Now, Evelyn truly believed that blood falling into the hands of either the Night Watchmen or the Holy Church didn’t matter, because Emilia was scarier than both of them.

“I don’t need you, dear Angel, to worry about my matters. I’ve already found someone to help.”
“Who? Your family?”
“Um, my uncle.”
This was the first time Emilia had heard Evelyn mention her family, and curiosity about Evelyn stirred inside her as she wanted to know more.
“Since it’s your uncle, he should be a demon, right? What’s his name? Is he powerful?”
“Uh, his name is…”
Evelyn’s mouth twitched slightly. The name Lucifer was so renowned; he had once been an archangel on the same level as the current second-in-command of Heaven—Gabrielle. Even though he had fallen to Hell now, his strength was still as formidable as ever, if not more so!
Emilia, being an angel, saying “Lucifer” in front of her was akin to opening her own box. Moreover, the fact that Satan had a daughter was only known to the lords of Hell. Even if Evelyn revealed her identity to Emilia, she doubted Emilia would believe her.
“Uh? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. But I won’t tell you who my uncle is. You just need to know that he’s very powerful!”
“Very powerful? But the guards at the Night Watchman division in Worry-Free City are also very strong. Aren’t you afraid he would be discovered if he infiltrated?”
Discovered?
Evelyn peeked out her head from the rolled-up blanket, looking at Emilia with slight confusion.

Emilia blinked back.
“If they really could discover my uncle, then they would be this.”
With that, Evelyn stretched out a delicate little hand from her blanket and made a thumbs-up gesture.
“But you can’t be too careful, can you? Right now, human magic technology is quite advanced. If he gets discovered, aren’t you afraid he would encounter danger?”
Encounter, encounter danger?
Evelyn was slightly taken aback by those words, then once again made a thumbs-up gesture.
“Let’s not mention anything else, if they really discovered my uncle and he didn’t run away, then they would be even more this!”
Are you kidding? That’s fallen angel Lucifer! The infamous Lucifer! The head of the Seven Demon Kings in Hell, representing the sin of pride, Lucifer! The one true top under Satan! Don’t even mention danger; if he wanted to fight, he could directly destroy both the Night Watchman and the Holy Church!
Evelyn even specially reminded her uncle during the call to act as discreetly as possible, not to harm innocents, and just to destroy the blood samples and leave.
She was still worried that Lucifer would obliterate the Night Watchmen, and yet Emilia, you’re concerned about Lucifer?
Fine, it’s her fault; if she told Emilia her uncle was Lucifer, Emilia would probably start worrying about the Night Watchmen.
But she was more likely to gloat over it.
…
Meanwhile, the fallen angel symbolizing pride stood before the gates of Hell. After receiving his niece’s request, he hurriedly informed Satan of the matter and assured him several times that he would handle it himself. It took quite a bit of effort to prevent the agitated Satan from rushing to Earth and burning the Night Watchmen with a fireball.
“Ugh… Typhon, really, she’s grown up, can’t she be a little more composed?”
Thinking of the scene just now when he desperately held back Satan, Lucifer couldn’t help but feel a wave of exhaustion; this Hell could do without him!
“In the end, it was only after mentioning Mikayla that I was able to persuade her…”
It seemed that only the name of the big sister had such a suppressive effect. Lucifer had merely hinted that if Satan carelessly appeared on Earth, it could likely attract Mikayla as well. At that moment, someone panicked and trembled all over, coughed a few times, and then obediently returned to her throne. The speed of that change of expression made Lucifer suspect that Satan had learned the art of face-changing.
After all, she doesn’t change without paying a price…
