Asking for Protection

"Huff, I'm getting a little sentimental for some unknown reason. That's fine, Sylvia. I understand." Elysia closed her eyes and let out a soft breath. It wasn't him to make a fuss about things she shouldn't be concerned about.

"Please, forgive me? Y-you forgive me, and you don't hate me at all? Even though I'm a devil, though? You, a human, want to protect a devil under your care? Can I trust for this?" Sylvia brought her face closer to Elysia's.

"Uhm, you're too close." Elysia opened her eyes and backed away a little.

Then, she answered Sylvia's string of doubtful questions. "Yes, is something wrong? I just need to be the one to punish you with my own hands if you dare to do something evil. I don't know why you ran away from home, but your presence runs the risk of causing worse problems. I'm keeping an eye on you at all times to guarantee that no trouble will come because of you."
