Seven Sins System Chapter 352. I'm Here to Ruin Your Day!
She was about to leave, and I was just about to return to my boring routine, but before I managed to take my eyes off her, I could catch a change in her expression. She seemed a little surprised, but only for a moment; then, a smile bloomed on her face. I was sure it wasn't because of my lame sandwich, for sure.
'Do a mortal summon her?' I tried to guess. If yes, I wouldn't mind going with her since I was bored. So, secretly, I summoned one of my greed tentacles from my fingertips and separated it from my body. I let the tentacles, which were no longer than a worm, writhe on the floor and hid near the foot of the desk. I would leave it here, in case I needed a clone.
Puriel's eyes flickered across the room, as if she sensed something. I held my breath, hoping she wouldn't detect my little trick. The tentacle remained motionless, blending in with the shadows.
She shook her head slightly, dismissing whatever thought crossed her mind. "I'll see you later, Azrael," she said, her voice a mix of formality and a hint of something else.
"Until then, Puriel," I replied, giving her a nonchalant wave.
Without uttering more words, Puriel kept striding away, but instead of making her grand exit, she plunked the paper bag down on the table near the door and mumbled, "I accepted your summon," in this hushed tone.
A smirk hijacked my face. 'Bingo!' I thought. Without skipping a beat, I whipped out my Teleportation skills and materialized right by her side.
Playing the part of the annoying devil, I snagged her shoulder. "Don't forget about me," I chimed in, adding that extra layer of annoyance to my tone.
She swiveled to face me, grinding her teeth, but I countered with a grin that practically screamed, 'I'm here to ruin your day.'
As our bodies faded, a bright red announcement box popped up.
[ Warning! A goddess has taken you with her!]
Well, I couldn't blame my system; this was sort of like willingly letting her kidnap me.
The moment we materialized, the grip of summoning spat us out into an opulent room that seemed to have been carved from the dreams of royalty. The air was tinged with the scent of lavender, and the soft glow of a crystal chandelier, hanging majestically from the ceiling, cast prismatic hues across the room. The illumination was gentle, playing on the walls adorned with exquisite tapestries.
The bed, a regal expanse of cushions and silken sheets. It dominated the room. The furniture, intricately carved and upholstered in fabrics that felt like a caress against the skin, adorned the room with a refinement I rarely associated with mortal summonings.
The carpet underfoot cradled our steps. It was a contrast to the usual grim settings mortals chose to invoke me – dimly lit and abandoned buildings or chaotic messes that mirrored their own disordered lives. Mortals had a knack for conjuring me in the most inhospitable places, but this time, the script seemed to have taken a whimsical turn.
"What kind of injustice is this?! Why do they summon the goddess in a place like this when they always summon me in a messy place?! Do you think I have no sense of art or aesthetics?" I complained in annoyance.
I shot a disgruntled glance at the summoner, a girl kneeling in a white robe, her eyes fixated on Puriel. That girl wouldn't hear me since she summoned Puriel not me. Also, both of our forms were abstract.
Puriel, with her celestial poise, seemed equally taken aback by the unexpected opulence.
"Huh?" I muttered, a mixture of confusion and irritation clouding my features. "Is this not a normal sight for you either?" I asked, genuinely surprised.
Puriel, regaining her composure, shot me a glance that said, 'Not in a million celestial years.' "No, of course," she said in a low voice, gesturing toward the bed. "Didn't you see the three guys sleeping there? They must have raped her," she said, her tone heavy with sorrow. It was amusing to see the goddess out of her element, and for once, I wasn't the cause of divine disarray.
I followed her gesture and, sure enough, there they were—three guys sprawled out on the bed, snoring away in peaceful oblivion. Naked. I scratched my head, realizing I'd overlooked that tiny detail. As a devil, I had grown accustomed to scenes like this in the demoness' lair, so I guessed I'd become a bit desensitized.
"Yeah, I noticed them," I admitted, trying to keep my tone casual. "Kinda hard to miss, but I'm more used to this sort of thing in, you know, the underworld."
"They must have done awful things to her," said Puriel again in sadness.
I gave her an uncertain look. 'Hold up. It doesn't add up. Something's fishy here. If those guys raped the girl, shouldn't she summon one of the devils for revenge or something? Why is she going through the trouble of fasting for 30 days and bringing holy water to summon a goddess?' I raised an eyebrow, pondering the logic of it all. 'Summoning a goddess seems a bit over the top for a revenge plot. I'm all for chaos and mischief, but if I'm a mortal and someone wronged me, I'd probably go for a devil. We're specialists in that department.'
"Ya know… Something isn't right," I stated my confusion, furrowing my eyebrows.
But before she answered me, the girl prayed again.
