5. Locked in the Little Black Room! (Not Me)
Heaven, a dreamlike place that should only exist in fantasy, is said to be the abode of angels and a holy land that every believer of the Holy Church longs to reach.
However, with the development of modern science and technology, the idea that Heaven is merely a false product of religious culture has gradually taken root in people’s minds, and this once sacred term has become a subject of ridicule.
Of course, most people will never know, even after a lifetime of searching, that this sacred legendary place is not a mere fabrication of the ancients; it exists parallel to Hell, independently outside of Earth.
The so-called scientific theories that allegedly prove Heaven does not exist are merely the means by which those who know the truth conceal the mystery.
And since Heaven truly exists, the angels, hailed as messengers of God, certainly exist in the world as well.
It’s just that… they differ a bit from the angels portrayed in human legends.
“Achoo! Huh? What’s that? Is someone talking about me?”
Our dear little Gabrielle rubbed her slightly itchy nose. At this moment, she was leisurely lying on her soft and comfortable big bed, enjoying the “offerings” her obedient disciple brought back from Heaven.
“Um… Teacher, are modern online novels really that good? You’ve been reading for a whole night…”
Emilia looked at Gabrielle, who was holding a mobile phone in one hand and a bottle of sugary drink in the other, surrounded by a circle of chips and snacks, with a face full of helplessness. She suddenly regretted bringing back so much for her.
“Oh, it’s fine, Little Emilia! I’m tired of everything from Heaven; human things are so interesting! And this thing called a mobile phone is just too convenient! So many novels, I just need to download a few whatever… PAP and I can buy and read them directly! Normally, all these books would take up so much space, and cleaning up after reading would be a hassle! Hmm, I’m very satisfied with this gift!”
“As long as you’re happy, Teacher…”
Gabrielle stuffed chips into her mouth while intently scrolling through the web novels on her phone, completely oblivious to her lace dress slipping from her shoulder, exposing a stunning view.
With her somewhat messy outfit and the bed covered with snacks and drinks, along with the discarded fruit peels and snack bags and her slightly curled hair from staying up all night reading novels, Gabrielle looked nothing like a Seraph! She had completely transformed into a slovenly loli otaku!!!
Teacher, your character is about to collapse!!!
Emilia thought that if those who still sincerely believed in the Holy Church saw Gabrielle in her current dead house mode, they would probably have an existential crisis right on the spot.
The mythical Gabrielle: Divine and beautiful, wielding the legendary holy sword that once guarded Eden and could shoot flames in all directions, is the most powerful guardian in the high levels of Heaven besides Angel Lord Mikayla.
The real Gabrielle: Depressed yet cute, loves to act spoiled and cute, and is a loli who’s lazy enough to scatter trash everywhere after eating snacks and drinks, needing her disciple to help clean it up, and even that legendary Eden sword has been casually tossed aside as a nutcracker.
Honestly, with angels being this lazy nowadays, Gabrielle, being a Seraph, bears some responsibility.
If the upper beam is crooked, it’s no surprise that the lower beam is also warped!
“Teacher… I think you should pay a bit more attention to your image… At the very least, you should pull up your slipping dress, right? If Mikayla saw you like this, she would definitely say something.”
“Oh, it’s fine, Little Emilia! I have a new treasure for my big sister; if I take it out, she won’t scold me… Wow! What happened? How is it over already? Let me check the latest update time… It was two months ago! What’s wrong with this author? How could they suddenly stop updating? And at such a crucial plot point? It must be intentional!”
“Oh? Let me see?”
As a former online novel enthusiast, Emilia immediately became interested upon hearing about the stalled updates, and her small white head instantly pushed Gabrielle aside.
“This page is… Pineapple Bun?”
Hmm, the software is correct; it’s perfectly normal to have an author with stalled updates.
“This author…”
Emilia looked at the familiar expression pack of Jiyika on the author page. Although it’s a new account with only one book, based on the book’s summary, title style, and various clues, Emilia still guessed who it was.
“I read his book before; it’s normal for things to go mysterious like ‘Bola’ or whatever. If I’m not mistaken, there was even a book that won the Pineapple Bun Golden Award, but then it just mysteriously ended.”
“Wow! How can there be such a bad guy in the world!? They won an award and still stopped updating inexplicably? That’s so unfair!”
…Actually, Emilia wanted to tell her teacher that such a mysterious halt is relatively mild, after all, in this world, there are even more abstract legendary existences.
That’s right, she was talking about the legendary author who has never completed any long work and whose most famous series, although it has five books, only has three recognized by readers!
“How infuriating! I suddenly really want to go to the mortal realm and drag this author out, lock him in a little black room, and not let him out until he finishes writing!”
“Good idea! Although it’s not very feasible!”
To be honest, when Emilia first heard her teacher’s angry remark, a genius-like idea suddenly popped into her mind.
That is to buy all volumes of a certain legendary author’s ‘X Clan’ for her teacher to read, and surely in less than two days, her teacher would angrily put her previous remark into practice.
Of course, there’s also a higher chance of she simply getting eliminated.
“How infuriating! This is driving me crazy!”
Gabrielle, with her round little face filled with anger, poured sugary drink into her mouth, but since her mouth was too small, most of the drink leaked out, soaking the large fabric in front of her chest.
“Teacher… Please pay attention to your image…”
“What’s there to pay attention to in my own room?”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Just then, a gentle and sweet voice floated in from behind Gabrielle. Upon hearing this voice, Gabrielle’s body trembled, her phone slipped from her hand, and she stood frozen like a statue.
“Xiaoli… Didn’t I tell you before that even in your own room, you should pay attention to the most basic hygiene and cleanliness?”
PS: The launch is just around the corner… I’m a bit nervous for my first launch () Also, please take your kid to charge again with the ticket! (The reunion of sisters is coming soon, no rush~)
