Asia and the Fallen Angel

What was the world of Demons like?

She was simply too curious.

"You'll have a chance. Just wait a little first."

Lind replied, then continued, "Before I leave, there are a few things I need to tell you."

"Mm-hmm."

At Lind's words, everyone listened obediently.

"First, about Night Raid."

Lind said calmly, "There's no need to disband it. Najenda can keep recruiting members."

Najenda's expression turned serious, and she nodded. "Indeed. Anyone who wants to join Night Raid must share our ideals. We can trust them completely."

"But the requirements need to be stricter."

"Please tell us, Master."

"They must be women, and beautiful young women at that."

Leone said meekly, "Master, you're trying to turn Night Raid into a harem, aren't you?"

"As expected of you. Absolutely correct."

"..." × N.

Chapter 39: Asia and the Fallen Angel

One in the afternoon.

Lind returned to his home in the main world.

The entire villa was empty. Shiho Miyano and the others had clearly gone out.

"Hm?"

After checking the date, Lind's gaze flickered slightly.

There was a discrepancy in time.

Time in the main world clearly passed a little more slowly than in the world of Akame ga Kill.

They were two different worlds, after all.

That was normal.

Lind returned to his room and began constructing a teleportation magic circle, using his Demon Summoning contract in the world of Akame ga Kill as an anchor.

This way...

As long as he gave his permission...

His servants could travel freely between the two worlds.

Hum!

Once everything was finished, he was just about to contact Shiho Miyano and the others when a ripple caught his attention.

"Someone's casting a Repelling Barrier?"

Lind raised an eyebrow slightly, an amused smile curling his lips.

"And the power they're using isn't magic, but light?"

"I wonder if it's an exorcist or a Fallen Angel. It would be even better if it were Raynare and her group."

He had only just returned, and already something like this had happened.

When luck came knocking, there was no stopping it.

His figure flashed.

Lind vanished from the room.

Tap, tap, tap!

Only hurried footsteps echoed down the deserted street.

"God, please protect me."

Asia prayed as she ran desperately.

But she grew slower and slower, her white nun's habit already covered in grime.

Despair deepened in her heart.

Was she going to die?

She could sense that she had not shaken off the Fallen Angel behind her at all.

He was simply enjoying the thrill of hunting his prey.

But even so...

She had no choice but to run.

Thud!

Asia stumbled over something and completely lost her balance.

Was this the end?

That thought filled her mind.

But!

The pain she expected never came. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.

Who was it?

Asia raised her head, and a handsome face came into view.

"Looks like you could use a little help."

Lind helped her stand and spoke warmly.

Asia Argento.

Looks like I hit the jackpot.

Looking at the gleaming Devil Contract, Lind's lips curved into a smile.

"Th-thank you."

Asia thanked him instinctively, then hurriedly added, "Run, quickly! It's dangerous here."

She knew how those Fallen Angels operated.

If this handsome boy got dragged into it, his chances of survival would be slim.

It was one thing if she died, but she could not let anyone else suffer because of her.

"Don't worry. I'm very strong."

Lind patted her head and smiled. "Whatever the trouble is, I can take care of it for you."

"Y-you need to listen to me. That Fallen Angel behind me is a creature from mythology!"

"So what?"

"Y-you... I'm really not joking!"

Asia was so anxious she nearly cried.

Could this boy even understand what she was saying?

Though she also knew...

For an ordinary person...

If someone suddenly started talking about Fallen Angels, it was already fortunate if they did not think she was mentally ill.

"Don't worry. Even a Fallen Angel can't hurt you while I'm here."

Lind said solemnly, "But in return, I want you to become mine."

"Huh?"

Asia froze, then her face flushed bright red.

What was this?

A marriage proposal?

Had the man before her fallen in love with her at first sight?

"N-no, listen to me..."

Asia wanted to say more, but Lind gently interrupted her. "There's no need to say so much. You only need to agree."

"I-I agree."

Determination flashed in Asia's eyes. "But you have to run away with me."

Since she could not get through to him, this was her only option.

She really is kind.

Lind glanced at her and finally nodded.

"Run!"

Asia grabbed Lind and had only taken a few steps when a burly man in a heavy coat and bowler hat appeared before her.

She instinctively backed away a few steps and gave a bitter smile. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault you got dragged into this."

"Don't worry. I've got everything under control."

Lind held her hand and smiled warmly.

Donaseek: "..."

Watching the scene, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Unbelievable.

This guy was flirting in a situation like this?

But soon...

Sensing the aura coming from Lind, Donaseek's gaze turned utterly cold.

"So that's it. No wonder you could enter my Repelling Barrier. You're a Demon."

At his words, Asia trembled and instinctively asked, "H-he's lying, right?"

"No, he isn't."

Lind grinned. "I really am a Demon."

"Huh?"

Asia's body went completely stiff, and she spoke in a voice on the verge of breaking.

"Why does all of this have to happen to me?"

She had already been unlucky enough.

She had been expelled from the church for healing a Demon.

Then she had been hunted by a Fallen Angel.

And now she had fallen into a Demon's hands.

"Don't be afraid. I really mean you no harm."

Lind patted her head and smiled. "Otherwise, I could have made my move already, couldn't I?"

Th-that did seem to be true.

Asia blinked.

Could he be a kind Demon?
