1. Maybe it’s a lottery?
“Whoa… so boring~ I’ve almost died from boredom these past two days! Sister Leviathan, why does our Hell’s internet only work half the time? A mobile phone here is useless aside from making calls; it’s just like a brick!”
Above the magma sea of Hell, our dear Devil Miss is lying on a piece of white “reef” in the lava, one hand holding a mobile phone that displays “current signal weak,” while the other hand is clutching a bag of opened chips, popping one piece after another into her mouth, her bored eyes filled with helplessness.
These past two days, due to the school’s monthly break, Evelyn made a special trip back to Hell, which has become a monthly tradition, after all, there’s the old solitary Satan at home. Although Evelyn often complains about her father being a heavy daughter complex, she’s actually always speaking contrary to her actions and makes sure to visit when she has the time.
Usually, the moment Evelyn steps into Hell, Satan would follow behind and start asking her about everything like an overly concerned mother, but for some reason, he didn’t come this time, leaving Evelyn feeling a bit out of place as she stood in front of Hell’s gate for quite a while.
Satan wouldn’t leave Hell so casually, so his absence likely means he’s handling some business; this is also the most surprising part for Evelyn, because the affairs of Hell are usually managed by Uncle Lucifer, and it’s rare to see her dad handling anything personally.
However, Uncle Lucifer is probably with her father right now. Want to guess how Evelyn knows?
Answer: Because on her way to Sister Leviathan, she saw her Uncle Mephisto cursing that Lucifer and Satan are not human while carrying a huge pile of clearly unorganized messy documents.
Cough, if this goes on, we might really see Uncle Mephisto collapse from overwork, right? Ugh, why does thinking about it oddly bring a smile?
But the moment she saw Uncle Mephisto rushing around, Evelyn was reminded of how she must have looked a few days ago, probably quite similar to him…
It has been about a week since she and Emilia took down the Black-robed Man; that night, Evelyn first took the saved Elf Miss Alice to Nolan’s villa and explained the situation to her. As Evelyn expected, kind-hearted Nolan readily agreed to her request and promised to arrange a trip to send Alice back to her home country as soon as possible, almost bringing tears to Alice’s eyes!
Before things were arranged, Alice temporarily stayed at Nolan’s home. Originally, with such a large house having only three residents, Nolan often felt it was rather empty, but now with Alice as a temporary tenant, she was even more delighted. Of course, that’s ignoring the resentful glances from a certain pet Miss…
Nevertheless, before returning to Hell, Evelyn made a special trip to Nolan’s house. One can only say that Lina, being the head of the yuri group, finds it easy to handle a pure-hearted Elf; Evelyn is a bit worried that in a while, Lina might have her own harem.
The only comforting point is that Lina is a typical white-haired lover while Alice is blonde, so she narrowly avoided one layer of trouble…
Alice: Encountering the silver-haired yuri head, giving her all but unable to win, only relying on XP power through perilous situations.
After sorting out Alice’s matters, the next step involved communication with the Night Watchman and the Church. However, due to Evelyn’s identity as a demon, it was quite inconvenient for her to show up, so this part of the process relied solely on Emilia.
According to what Emilia said after she returned, the Night Watchman was extremely unfamiliar with the name “Descendants Sect.” Even the head of the Night Watchman in Worry-Free City had the expression of someone who had never heard of it before; on the other hand, the Church’s lower-level personnel responded similarly to the Night Watchman, but the higher-ups clearly had a different reaction! Bishop Shafulin, who oversees the Church for the entire province, personally came to speak to her upon hearing about this matter, his expression quite serious, as if he knew something.
From this perspective, it’s certain that there’s a connection between the Church and the Descendants Sect, likely an adversarial relationship, which relieved both Evelyn and Emilia greatly.
On the third day after the incident, news first reported that the Worry-Free City police, in collaboration with various parties, cracked down on a large-scale human trafficking case—after all, the victims of this incident included magical creatures like Elves and many ordinary people who had no idea about the existence of magic. The Night Watchmen also had to account for these ordinary victims, thus they fabricated a reasonably plausible excuse, which could be seen as an explanation for their families.
Of course, the behind-the-scenes mastermind of this malignant trafficking case was “shot dead on the spot” by the police for “refusing to surrender,” leaving no evidence.
Thus, the entire incident was considered concluded, and Evelyn and Emilia could return to their normal campus life to rest. As for Evelyn’s justice partner “part-time job,” due to the strengthening of the Worry-Free City police force, most individuals with ulterior motives were suppressed, and there wasn’t even a thief to be found on the streets for the time being, giving her a sort of holiday.
Coincidentally, just a couple of days after the incident ended, there was a monthly holiday, allowing Evelyn to take this opportunity to return to Hell and avoid that certain guy spreading rumors about her not coming back to see him, although she didn’t know why that guy didn’t come to pick her up this time…
Evelyn returned to Hell, and Emilia naturally had to go back to her hometown Heaven, but what happened there isn’t something Evelyn can manage since she isn’t an Angel and can’t go to Heaven…
Moreover, even if she could, with her demon appearance, uh, going there would be courting death.
“Ugh… I don’t know~ Compared to modern human inventions, I still prefer sleeping~”
The “reef” beneath Evelyn stirred, a large stream of bubbles emerged from the magma, and a soft and cute little girl’s voice came from below.
“Poof! Sister Leviathan, you’re [Jealous] not [Lazy]; why do you sleep all day? Meanwhile, Uncle Belial, clearly the [Lazy] one of the Seven Demon Kings, is so diligent!”
“I also want the position of [Lazy] so I can openly slack off and sleep, but how the powers were divided back then is something I forgot, maybe it was drawn by lottery?”
“Poof… Here, Sister Leviathan, I have snacks from Earth, do you want some?”
Saying this, Evelyn waved the chips in her hand, making a rustling sound.
PS: Oh no! I forgot to add the second update yesterday! Here’s the make-up today.
