Heaven or Hell? / I Must Be Doing This Wrong

Little Jeanne grew angrier and angrier, feeling utterly devastated; she had never suffered such an injustice before.

"Wait... wait a minute!"

Vignette stared wide-eyed at Little Jeanne, a look of shock on her face.

"You said... Afu-chan... is a boy!!!"

She felt as if she had heard something incredibly important, something that shocked her even more than if someone had told her that Gabriel was a demon.

"Yeah, Afu-chan is a boy."

Little Jeanne explained with a displeased look, "Everyone knows this. If you don't believe me, ask Mash."

Looking at Vignette's expression, Mash said with some reluctance, "Actually... about this..."

"Stop! Don't say it!"

Vignette immediately covered her ears; she didn't want to hear such a cruel answer, and she tried to deceive herself by covering her ears, thinking that it wasn't true.

However, she had already decided in her heart that what Little Jeanne said was true.

Given the current situation, Little Jeanne had absolutely no reason to lie.

Gabriel, Raphael, Satania, and even Yuxian and Mash all looked at Vignette with sympathetic eyes.

She finally managed to sneak out to meet Afu in person, but not only was she followed and disturbed, she also discovered the cruel truth that Afu was a boy.

Vignette's youth has passed.

Chapter 21, Section 392: Heaven or Hell?

Two fragrant roast geese appeared on the table during dinner.

As Yuxian had instructed, Mash did indeed buy the two geese.

There were many diners, so finishing off two geese was no problem at all.

Satania plunged her chopsticks in, tore off a large chunk, and stuffed it into her mouth, looking like she had finally gotten her revenge.

As she ate, she muttered to herself, "Let you chase me, let you peck me, in the end I'll still eat you all up."

Seeing how satisfied Satania was, Mash couldn't bear to tell her that the family actually had a large flock of geese, and these two were probably not the two that had chased Satania.

However, none of this matters, as long as Satania thinks so.

After finishing his live stream, Afu came downstairs to eat.

Looking at the table full of dishes, he said with a grin, "The food is really plentiful tonight! There's even roast goose. I haven't cooked it myself in ages because I've found it too much trouble."

Vignette turned her head away with a cold face, ignoring Afu.

At first, Afu didn't notice, but he soon realized something was wrong.

Every time he tried to grab some food, Vignette would always get there first and snatch it away from him.

Even though her bowl already had a lot of food, she still did this, her intention was very obvious.

Afu scratched his head, not understanding what was wrong with Vignette. She was clearly his fan, so why was she deliberately going against him?

He asked, "Is there something you need, Vignette?"

"Fraud!"

Vignette snorted coldly, turned her head away from Afu, and continued eating.

"What's going on? How did I become a liar?" Afu asked the others, puzzled.

The children said, "Sister Vignette knows you're a boy!"

Afu blinked. "I'm a boy, what's wrong with that?"

He was completely unaware of this. In fact, he never deliberately hid his gender. Whether others believed it or not was their own business and had nothing to do with Afu.

Vignette was furious and glared at Afu fiercely.

"You're clearly a man, why are you pretending to be a girl to deceive people on live stream!"

"I trusted you so much, and you're actually a liar."

Vignette became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and could only vent her anger on the roast goose. She imitated Satania and tore into the roast goose with all her might, as if the roast goose in front of her was Afu.

To be honest, it was quite satisfying to do that, and Vignette and Satania launched a fierce attack on the roast goose in front of them.

Afu also felt wronged. There was a delicious roast goose in front of him, but he didn't dare to pick it up and could only eat the dishes in front of him.

He said in a low voice, "I never said I was a girl..."

"If you're not a girl, why are you dressed so cutely? Anyone would think you're a girl. Don't try to deny it, you're a liar!"

Vignette glared at Afu with a fierce look, which made Afu instinctively shrink back.

"And you, why do you indulge him and not do anything about it?"

Vignette felt that it wasn't enough to just blame Afu; Yuxian also bore responsibility in this matter, and she believed they had failed in their duty as friends.

Yuxian muttered softly, not daring to speak loudly, "Afu has always been like this..."

This was a very common thing in the eyes of Yu Yuxian. Wasn't Afu just like that?

If Afu were to one day become a muscular man like Heracles, that would be truly terrifying.

Of course, Yuxian all know that Vignette is in a bad mood, so they won't argue with her. Anyone would find it hard to accept this situation right away.

From an outsider's perspective, like Gabriel, she doesn't think it matters.

Vignette became so resentful precisely because she had expectations.

Throughout the meal, Afu didn't get to eat a single bite of the roast goose he was craving, but fortunately the other dishes were quite delicious.

After finishing her meal, Vignette went to her room to sulk, Mash ran over to comfort her.

As usual, the children went to play with the Hippogriff.

Yuxian nothing to do, I refused to go out to cool off in the yard today, as the mosquitoes were unbearable.

He sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV out of boredom.

Gabriel was equally bored; without games to play, she felt as if she had lost her soul.

The two of them lay lazily on the sofa and started chatting casually.

"Gabriel, your Heaven is so strictly managed, won't you get caught doing this?"

Yuxian was genuinely afraid that Gabriel, that useless angel, would be taken back to Heaven for reformation.

"There are so many angels in Heaven, they can't possibly manage them all," Gabriel said with an indifferent attitude.

That makes sense; her subsidies had been reduced to almost nothing, so it was impossible for them not to notice.

It seems that there are also major loopholes in the management of Heaven.

"What about your family? Won't they find out?"

Yuxian knew that Gabriel's older sister was also an excellent angel. If she knew that her sister had fallen to such a state, she would probably come after her.

Gabriel frowned; she had the same thought.

She reassured herself, "It should be fine, she's so busy..."

Gabriel glanced at Yuxian, "If my sister really comes looking for me, you must help me keep it a secret, or she will kill me."

Yuxian nodded. He had no time to concern himself with Gabriel's family affairs, and as for the others, he didn't know.

They'll probably help too.

"Speaking of which, it's quite something that you and Osakabehime live next door to each other and have never met."

When Yuxian saw Gabriel, he immediately thought of Osakabehime; the two really did have a lot in common.

"There are so many humans in the Human World, how could we possibly have the time to get to know each and every one of them in the past?"

Gabriel spoke in a way that was completely unlike that of an angel. Shouldn't angels be very concerned about the suffering of humankind?

It just goes to show how powerful human entertainment is. Not only was Gabriel, the top student at the Heavenly School, completely fooled by Afu, but even Vignette, an angel among devils.

"By the way, does Heaven allow outsiders to visit? Can we go to Heaven for fun?"

Yuxian asked a question that he was very concerned about.

He really wanted to take the children to heaven, and also to hell; he wanted to go to both.

This is a very rare opportunity.

"It probably won't work. Access to Heaven is very strictly controlled. But if you can get special permission, maybe it's possible."

Gabriel's words gave Yuxian a glimmer of hope. As long as there is a way, there is still hope. The worst thing is when the rules are set too rigidly, then there is no hope at all.

He quickly asked, "How can I obtain special permission?"

Gabriel shook her head; she didn't know about it, and these things were beyond her comprehension.

Yuxian had no choice but to give up and prepare to find another way to find out.

There's no rush to do this. It seems they'll be staying in this world for a while longer and won't be returning to Chaldea anytime soon.

Chapter 22, Section 393: The method of opening it must be wrong.

After staying at Afu's house for three days, and with Gabriel on the verge of death, Yuxian and the others finally decided to return to the city.

"We're leaving. We'll let you know before we go back to Chaldea. Don't worry, we won't leave you here."

Yuxian smiled and joked with Afu.

Afu smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of being abandoned. I'm doing quite well here."

Yuxian asked, "So, are you still going back?"

"Go back! How can we not go back!"

In comparison, Chaldea has more acquaintances.

Life may be comfortable, but Afu has long been tired of spending all day in front of the computer doing live streams.

A day or two without face-to-face conversations might not matter, but over time, it inevitably leads to a lot of negative emotions.

Fortunately, Afu is a carefree person, which allows him to accept the long-term life of live streaming. However, he is not a shut-in like Osakabehime and still needs a certain social life.

After saying goodbye to Hippogriff, the children returned and told Afu, "You absolutely must not mistreat Hippogriff. We'll come often. If we find out Hippogriff isn't doing well, we'll make you pay!"

Afu chuckled helplessly, "I'll definitely treat it very well."

"It's not enough to treat it well; you also need to feed it well and make sure it gets a little fatter. Hippogriff is still too thin."

The children seemed to care about the Hippogriff even more Afu, Hippogriff owner.

Afu had no choice but to nod in agreement, otherwise the children probably wouldn't let him off so easily.

After saying goodbye to Afu, Yuxian Xian and his group, along with Vignette and the other three, returned to the city.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm going back to rest now." Vignette was still sullen, and she said goodbye and left as soon as she arrived at her destination.

The others also went back to their respective places.

Gabriel ran faster than anyone else. She hadn't been online for several days and needed to catch up on the game's progress overnight, otherwise she would fall behind the others.

"Gabriel! Wait a minute!"

Yuxian called her repeatedly but couldn't stop her. He could only shake his head with a wry smile.

I was originally planning to introduce her to Osakabehime, but it seems that this matter will have to be put on hold.

Anyway, it's right next door, so I can introduce it while we're eating.

Yuxian asked, "Mash, should you go and call Osakabehime, or should I go?"
