Emergency Return / You've Really Done It This Time, Gabriel
The second floor was where their family lived.
This is the great castle that Satania was referring to.
The space isn't small, but it's obviously far from being a large castle. Raphael's house is what you'd call a large castle.
Yuxian blinked, realizing he shouldn't have any expectations of Satania's words.
Besides Satania, her parents and her younger brother were also part of her family. The four of them lived a happy and harmonious life.
Upon entering, the room was pitch black, with no lights on. At that moment, a chilling and eerie melody began to play, accompanied by ancient and dilapidated images, making Yuxian and his group feel as if they had truly entered a demon's castle.
Snap!
The music turned off, the lights came back on, and the room returned to normal.
What Satania's parents had just created was a carefully crafted scene; now that the lights are on, the interior is no different from any other family's.
"It is very impolite of you to act like this in front of our guests."
Satania's brother, feeling troubled by his parents and sister, said to Yuxian and the others, "Welcome."
Yuxian smiled. It was truly remarkable that someone could remain normal in such a family.
It has to be said that Satania's parents are really eccentric, and it's no wonder they raised a daughter like Satania.
But for some reason, Yuxian felt that this kind of family was very warm and cozy.
Having parents who like to be quirky isn't always a bad thing.
Chapter 47, Section 418: Emergency Return
"My daughter actually brought a human home. It seems her conquest of the Human World is going very smoothly."
"As expected of my daughter, the heavy responsibility of conquering the human world is now entrusted to you, Satania."
Satania's parents spoke in unison, making it sound very convincing.
"Hahaha! Of course, I have found the key to conquering humanity. Give me a little more time and I will soon be able to conquer the current school and then slowly turn the entire Human World into the territory of the Great Demon Satania."
Satania followed her parents' lead without hesitation and recounted her great achievements.
Yuxian couldn't bear to interrupt them, so at Satania's brother's invitation, they sat down inside.
Satania's parents thought differently, and Yuxian couldn't really talk to them, but they still treated Yuxian and his party very warmly.
Yuxian and the others stayed at Satania's house for dinner.
At the dinner table, Satania's father said, "Come on, enjoy the food of human blood. Fresh blood and tender flesh are the food of demons. You must also try it."
Yuxian looked at the food in front of him and poked at it with his fork.
The bright red stuff must be tomato juice, and what's underneath it is clearly steak.
Jack picked up his fork, stuck it into the steak, and shoved the whole piece into his mouth.
She took a big gulp, and her lips were instantly covered in tomato juice, looking so red that it really did look like she was eating flesh and blood.
Satania's mother covered her mouth slightly and said in surprise, "What a promising child! She will surely become a demon as outstanding as Satania."
"It's delicious!" Jack replied with a smile.
Satania's brother rolled his eyes speechlessly and handed Jack a napkin.
"This is a top-quality steak I bought this morning; it's very fresh."
Yuxian took the napkin and wiped the tomato juice from Jack's mouth, then slowly savored it herself.
The taste was indeed very good; it must have been specially prepared by Satania's parents.
Although they occasionally act silly and say nonsensical things, they never neglect their hospitality.
If you can just ignore them, this is really a great meal.
As he left, Yuxian patted Satania's younger brother on the shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look.
This young man has really had a tough time.
Satania's brother gave Yuxian knowing look, everything was understood without words.
Yuxian and the others did not linger in Hell and prepared to return home.
Having visited both Heaven and Hell, this two-day trip has been a wonderful and novel experience.
This kind of experience is hard to come by elsewhere.
In the days that followed, Yuxian resumed his leisurely life.
Gabriel and the others returned to the Human World not long after, and life continued as usual, as if nothing had changed.
Days passed by one by one.
Just Yuxian thought he could enjoy this relaxed life a little longer, an unexpected thing happened.
It was quite rare for Da Vinci to contact Yuxian.
Under normal circumstances, Da Vinci would not contact Yuxian unless there was something else going on.
Yuxian asked, "Da Vinci-chan, is there anything I can help you with?"
Da Vinci looked at the languid Yuxian and said with a smile, "Master's easy days are probably coming to an end."
Yuxian frowned. Although Da Vinci spoke very casually, Yuxian had clearly understood the unspoken meaning behind her words.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing serious!" Da Vinci's smile reassured Yuxian a little. Since she said that, it probably wasn't anything very important.
"We received a request for help from Ms. Musashi."
"Huh?" Yuxian's eyes widened. This is what you call not important?
"What's going on?" Yuxian's tone was somewhat serious; he wasn't as unserious as Da Vinci.
Yuxian had been to the world where Miyamoto Musashi. It was a world that was not peaceful, where war and slaughter were the norm.
Although Yuxian believed that Miyamoto Musashi's strength was enough to protect herself in that world, who could guarantee that she wouldn't encounter real danger?
That's a world rife with abnormalities, especially since Devil Fruit abilities are so diverse. It's entirely possible that there might be an ability user that Musashi couldn't handle.
Da Vinci remained relaxed, saying, "I don't know the specifics either, but Master, you should prepare to come back as soon as possible; your vacation is over."
Da Vinci described Yuxian's current leisure time as a vacation, which clearly shows that she was well aware of Yuxian's current lifestyle.
"Okay, we'll go back as soon as possible!" Yuxian said and then hung up the call.
He explained the situation to everyone, saying, "We should act quickly and prepare to return to Chaldea as soon as possible."
Without saying a word, Mash went to pack her luggage.
The children looked at each other, somewhat reluctant to leave.
"That world is all ocean, what an awful place! Master, can we not go there?"
Yuxian said, "Of course you don't have to go if you don't want to."
"That won't do, we don't trust our Master."
The children spoke with great righteousness, but what they really meant was that they were afraid Yuxian would abandon them.
Upon Yuxian and the others were leaving, everyone rushed over.
The doctor and the Queen Sheba had previously told Yuxian that they would continue to stay here and enjoy life, and had no intention of going back.
They simply came to see them off.
Yuxian looked at Afu and asked, "Afu, what do you think? This situation is a bit special, and time is tight. If you're not ready yet, you can stay here for now."
After hesitating for a long time with a conflicted expression, Afu asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No need for that, Chaldea's fighting strength is sufficient right now," Yuxian said with a smile.
Afu nodded, "Then I'll stay put for now. Disappearing suddenly will make the fans anxious."
Afu was well aware of this; Chaldea had plenty of capable people, Yuxian said there was no problem, then there was no problem.
"I can't be of much help, so I'm not going back." Seeing that everyone was staying, Osakabehime immediately said that she didn't want to leave.
Yuxian glared at him, "You have to come with me."
"Why should I!" Osakabehime was furious, believing that Yuxian was treating her differently and targeting her.
Yuxian said expressionlessly, "You'll starve to death if you stay here."
Osakabehime looked helpless and miserable. She was reluctant to leave the game. She turned her gaze to Afu, Afu immediately whistled and turned her head away, refusing to look at her.
Osakabehime then looked at the Queen Sheba.
The Queen Sheba responded to her very warmly, but those eyes, filled with the scent of money, made Osakabehime shudder.
She had no choice.
Chapter 48, Section 419: You're something else, Gabriel!
Vignette, Satania, Raphael, Gabriel all came to see everyone off.
After spending so much time together, the sudden announcement of leaving has made everyone very sad.
As angels and demons, they naturally had their own guesses about Yuxian and his group's identities, understanding that they were not ordinary humans.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have invited Yuxian and the others to their home.
Yuxian explained to them, "It's very unfortunate that one of our companions is in danger and we need to go back to help. This was quite sudden, and I didn't expect it either."
They understood Yuxian's words; they didn't think there was anything wrong with leaving, they were simply reluctant to part with him.
Satania walked up to Little Jeanne, took out a round bracelet, and handed it to her.
Little Jeanne looked at Satania curiously, not understanding her meaning, blinked, and didn't take the bait.
"Here you go! Consider it a thank you for the gift you gave me last time!" Satania shoved the bracelet into Little Jeanne's arms.
She gave him an expression that said, "I don't want to owe you any favors," which made Yuxian shake his head inwardly. "Even when she gives gifts, she's so Satania. She truly lives up to her Satania."
Seeing Little Jeanne curiously examining the bracelet, Satania explained, "I bought this on a TV shopping channel in the Demon Realm last time. I originally planned to use it against Gabriel, but now it's yours for the taking."
Little Jeanne put the bracelet away and asked curiously, "What's it for?"
"This is the latest technology in the Demon Realm. It can exchange hot and cold. The colder something is, the hotter it becomes, and the hotter something is, the colder it becomes."
Satania has no resistance to items from the Demon Realm's TV shopping channel; she's been ripped off countless times but still can't learn her lesson.
Yuxian smiled faintly. He could just keep this as a gift; if he really wanted to use it as a trump card, he should forget about it. Who knew what unexpected situations might arise?
He decided to go back and talk to Little Jeanne, telling her not to actually use it, because who knows what strange things might happen.
The gift may be counterfeit, but Satania's good intentions are genuine.
Gabriel blinked, and seeing that Satania had actually given her a gift, she immediately said, "I'm going back for a bit. Wait for me, please wait for me!"
As she spoke, she ran back upstairs to her home.
After a while, Gabriel came down with a wrapped gift box and handed it to Osakabehime.
"This is for you. If you feel down, you can take it out and use it. It has amazing effects."
Osakabehime blinked, accepted the gift, and seeing how carefully Gabriel had wrapped it, she held it in her arms without opening it on the spot.
Because of the tight schedule, they didn't have much Yuxian to linger and exchange pleasantries.
Amidst everyone's farewells, he disappeared into the room, leaving this world and returning to Chaldea.
