Chapter 168: The Sadistic and Cunning Angel
After the class, Vignette approached Gabriel's desk with a slightly annoyed tone, urging her to pull herself together.
"Gab, come on, look at you right now."
At that moment, Gabriel had her entire face resting on the desk, epitomizing the epitome of defeat.
"It's all because you insisted on dragging me to school, Vigne. Otherwise, I'd be comfortably sleeping at home right now," the laid-back angel responded lazily.
Hearing her like this, Vignette sighed with some frustration.
"I'm doing this for your own good. If you stay at home, your studies will fall behind."
For diligent students like Vignette, education was the paramount aspect of high school life.
"Tsk, what's the use of studying? Games are so much more interesting. Do you know, I'm on a mission to save the Valhalla Kingdom."
"Valhalla Kingdom? Where's that?"
"Of course, it's in the world of a game. And you should know that without my help, the entire Valhalla Kingdom would be doomed."
"Because I, the Hero, was stopped, it led to the destruction of Valhalla Kingdom. Vigne, you're really a demon."
Hey, you call yourself a Hero? That's just a marketing gimmick game companies use to lure in players. And honestly, have you ever witnessed a so-called Hero who couldn't even defeat the wild boars at the village entrance?
Indeed, due to her gaming addiction, Gabriel had abandoned her support role and returned to playing as a warrior. However, her gaming skills were so abysmal that she couldn't even vanquish the wild boars at the village entrance.
If a Hero of your caliber were genuinely tasked with saving the world, the people of the Valhalla Kingdom would likely prefer to expedite their demise.
Upon hearing these words, a few "#" symbols materialized on Vignette's forehead.
But before she could respond, Satania strolled over, looking down on the lethargic angel slouched over her desk, and spoke with an air of self-importance.
"Gabriel, fetch me some drinks."
This naive demon still believed Gabriel to be the same selfless and obedient little angel she used to be.
"No, it's too troublesome. Go get it yourself."
Unsurprisingly, when Satania made her request, Gabriel's face immediately twisted into a disgusted expression.
"Eh..."
In that moment, a melodious voice reached the ears of the three.
"Ah, isn't this Gabriel? It's been a while."
Approaching was a slender girl with silver hair and a flawless figure.
"Ah, it's you, this person."
"Eh, aren't you..."
Upon spotting Raphiel, Satania and Vignette both recognized her, especially Satania, whose fingers trembled slightly.
"Ah, it's Raphiel. It has indeed been a while," Gabriel, who had her head resting on the desk, greeted the girl.
Yes, this girl was none other than Raphiel, who had recently played a prank on Satania.
"Gab, you know her?"
Hearing Gabriel mention the girl's name, Vignette was surprised.
"Of course, this person used to be my classmate," Gabriel replied in a composed tone.
"Eh? Your classmate? You mean..."
Vignette halted herself. They were in school, and revealing their true identities could lead to a return to Heaven or Hell, something the recently humanized girl wished to avoid.
"Hello, I'm Raphiel Ainsworth Shiraha, Gabriel's former classmate. Please be kind to me in the future."
Raphiel introduced herself, and then she embraced Gabriel's head, resting it against her generous chest.
"Ah, even the slothful Gabriel is quite impressive now. I had a feeling that coming to the human world would reveal your true self."
"Go away, I don't want to wash my face," Gabriel retorted with a disgusted expression.
"Then I'll leave it on your head." Raphiel rested her generous chest entirely on Gabriel's head, gently pressing up and down while playfully pinching the lazy angel's cheeks.
Observing this spectacle, Hachiman couldn't help but feel unimpressed, as he had already encountered similar situations with Saeko and Kotonoha, particularly with Kotonoha, whose attributes were even more substantial and yielding.
Meanwhile, Gabriel wasn't exactly thrilled about being treated in this manner, especially when she felt the softness on her head, which only served to remind her of her own inadequacies in that department.
It appeared that even angels were concerned about size.
"Hurry up and get off me, or I'll kill you," Gabriel threatened.
But Raphiel remained unfazed and continued her actions as she pleased.
Although a gentle smile adorned her face, Satania and Vignette understood that her appearance was deceptive, especially Satania, who voiced her grievances.
"Hey, you, why did you play tricks on me before?"
"Oh, right, I bought this for you." Upon hearing the demon's words, Raphiel seemed to recollect something and produced a pineapple bun from seemingly nowhere.
"That's... a pineapple bun."
Seeing her favorite treat, Satania's eyes widened.
"Yes, I thought I'd offer this pineapple bun to Miss Satania." Raphiel waved the packaged bun and smiled.
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to be so considerate."
"Well, I'm just being generous."
Upon hearing this, Satania displayed confidence, extending her hand to accept the offering. She looked ready to receive her tribute.
Observing this spectacle, Gabriel discreetly rolled her eyes. She knew her friend's character all too well, so she anticipated that things wouldn't be straightforward.
"That's great, so..."
As expected, Raphiel didn't immediately hand over the pineapple bun to Satania. Instead, she sat at a nearby desk and raised one of her legs.
"Kneel on the ground and lick my foot like a little dog, and I'll give it to you."
"What are you talking about!"
Upon witnessing this scene, not only Satania but also the other students in the classroom were left dumbfounded.
However, much to Hachiman's dismay, he detected a glimmer of eagerness on the faces of a few male students.
Come on, are you seriously considering it? Are you all closet masochists? This is utterly lacking in dignity.
"Aren't you skilled at imitating a dog? Just give it a little lick, and I'll hand over this pineapple bun." Raphiel playfully swung the packaged bun in her hand, wearing a cheerful smile.
"Who's good at that!"
Amidst Satania's indignant protest, the school bell signaled the beginning of the class.
