After hearing Ash's retelling, how could Diya not know what had happened? Silver Lamp, that despicable woman, had actually taken advantage of Ash losing his memory to feed him false memories! It was clearly Silver Lamp herself who had chased after Ash in obsessive love the whole way, but now, with one round of Historical Revisionism, it had turned into Ash falling in love with her at first sight!
That was too vile. How could she do that? She was practically bullying the mentally deficient! I have to hurry and tell Ash the truth, so he won't be deceived by a bad woman!
"Right, how did we meet?" Ash asked. "I'm really curious why we're in this kind of relationship... Little Diya, can you help me remember?"
"We met at the underground altar of the Four Pillar Gods Church. Back then, the moment you saw me, still a little girl, it was love at first sight for ten thousand years. To protect me, you decided to take me as your daughter. I was ignorant and confused then, and only knew you were genuinely good to me, so I left with you. Later, you found out that I was the witch, and your attitude toward me slowly began to change. You wanted to be family and also wanted to be lovers. You're the person I trust most, so I could only go along with you..."
I'll find another chance to expose Silver Lamp's conspiracy later. I can't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by, Diya thought.
But Diya hadn't completely made things up either. She had only patched the flaw in the true version of the story where Ash wasn't perverted enough, lowering Ash's resistance to Diya and ensuring that every time in the future, Diya could land a guard-breaking critical hit
