"Thanks. Now you don't have to kill us," Lawrend replied to her with a smile.
Although, he was still nervous inside. She doesn't have to kill them right now, but she can kill them anytime.
Realizing this renewed Lawrend's determination to become even stronger. He doesn't want to dilly-dally and hope she doesn't kill him every day. After all, she can change her mind at any time.
"Human, tell me how you made your divine lightning," Ramiela said.
"What is your element?" Lawrend asked.
"I'm a light element magic-user," Ramiela replied.
"Then, you can't do it. You have to be a lightning element magic-user," Lawrend replied.
"Fine. I was just curious," Ramiela replied.
She was very knowledgeable about magic.
"He's right. Master turned my lightning into divine lightning," Aezel said.
"Anyways, you can choose any room. We're all staying in this one," Lawrend said to her.
"What's the nearest room here, human?" Ramiela asked.
"There's one next door. You can take that one if you want. No one sleeps there anyway," Lawrend replied.
"Okay." Ramiela nodded her head.
…
"So… you're just gonna stare at us? You aren't gonna look at the room?" Lawrend asked her.
They had already been staring at each other for a while now. It was starting to become awkward for him and Aezel.
"No. I'm good. I want to observe you and her," Ramiela said coldly.
"Um, Ramiela? My name is Aezel. You can call me that," Aezel said.
"Aezel… Are you a demon?" Ramiela asked.
"W-Why?"
Aezel felt nervous about her question. She was a demon and it was said that demons were the enemies of angels in a popular myth she had heard in the past.
"I can see your horns. Fallen angels don't have that," Ramiela answered.
"I was, before I turned into a fallen angel," Aezel replied.
"Hmmm… So you're gonna kill your master in the future, huh," Ramiela said with squinted eyes.
She observed Aezel and Lawrend's reaction. To her surprise, none of them seemed surprised by her words.
"She won't," Lawrend replied.
"Fufufufu. You thought that you could sow discord between the two of us? Master and I have a deeper bond than you can think of," Aezel said with a laugh.
"Huh? Am I wrong? Or perhaps this human of yours is too stupid to realize that fact," Ramiela said with a confused look on her face.
"Ow!"
Lawrend suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from the ring he got from Clova. He turned around and stared at it closely.
'Master, be careful of her! She's dangerous!' Valentina shouted inside his mind.
'I know. You don't have to tell me,' Lawrend replied.
'No! S-She's my enemy! If possible, I want to kill her!' Valentina shouted in a voice full of hate.
'What?' Lawrend asked her in confusion.
'S-She's the divine race in the dilemma. The angels destroyed our civilization in the past!' Valentina replied grimly.
'WHAT!?' Lawrend widened his eyes in disbelief.
He crankily turned his head behind her and looked at Ramiela's cold and beautiful face. He could see her doing what Valentina just said.
'Be wary of her! If you're in any danger, I'll only be able to save you! Please, don't mess with her,' Valentina said pleadingly.
She doesn't want to lose all of her new sisters. Besides, she knew that she would be injured if she fought an angel of Ramiela's caliber. A soul injury is significantly harder to heal than a physical one.
'Alright. I will,' Lawrend replied solemnly.
He lowered his hand and turned around to face Ramiela again.
"What's wrong, human? You look nervous. Were you actually scared in reality?" Ramiela asked him calmly.
"Y-Yeah. I'm scared that she'll kill me now," Lawrend lied.
He wasn't gonna tell her that someone just told him that she was actually a genocide machine. It might actually trigger her to just kill him. As they say, a dead man doesn't speak.
According to what he knew, the civilization from the past was destroyed, and from the fear in Valentina's voice. He was 99.99% sure that they committed genocide.
Meanwhile, Aezel stared at him in puzzlement. She was trying to understand what he was trying to do by saying that.
Lawrend glanced at her and gave her a sneaky wink. Knowing that he wasn't misremembering it, Aezel decided to ride with the flow.
"I-I'm sorry for lying, Master! I won't do it again!" Aezel bowed to him in an apology.
Lawrend himself was surprised by her acting.
"It's fine. Tell me what I need to do and I'll help you," Lawrend replied to her in a benevolent voice.
He glanced at Ramiela and saw that she was nodding her head in satisfaction.
"Impressive, human. You forgive quite fast. I like that part of you," Ramiela said to him with an approving look on her face.
"Yeah… Thank you…" Lawrend felt awkward hearing her compliment.
"Can I tell you that later in private, Master?" Aezel asked.
"Sure." Lawrend nodded his head.
"Anyways, what are you gonna do today, Master?" Aezel changed the topic and asked.
"I'd be quite bold to attend class right now. I'm already late by an hour," Lawrend replied.
"So you're gonna stay home?"
"Nope. Let's go to the academy. I want to become a Third-Year as soon as possible," Lawrend replied.
"???" Aezel stared at him in confusion.
"It might be embarrassing, but I'll look even cooler if I pass all the tests even after arriving late," Lawrend said to her with a smirk on his face.
"Shameless, human," Ramiela commented on the side.
"As expected of Master. You know how to take advantage of poor situations," Aezel praised.
"Alright. Let's go. Wait, Ramiela. Can you change your clothes?" Lawrend asked.
Inside his mind, he tried to forget that she was a genocide killing machine. It wasn't that hard. He just had to keep telling himself that she was a beautiful angel.
Wait, scratch that.. Even the angels depicted in his past life were scary four-faced creatures whose legs don't bend.
