Partners in Crime

Seven Sins System Chapter 348. Partners in Crime

"But why do you look like you don't mind that? I mean, you look relaxed and unbothered by it," Rachel questioned, her forehead creased in confusion.

I chuckled at her perplexity, gesturing to the vacant space on my lap. "Well, take a seat, and I'll spill the beans," I invited, patting my lap a couple of times.

As if seizing an opportunity, Evie swiftly claimed the offered spot on my lap. Her casual ease mirrored my own nonchalant demeanor. Her hands naturally found their place around my neck.

"Hmm," I began, considering Rachel's inquiry. "I can't say that I'm not bothered by it, though. But we have become partners in crime," I admitted with a casual tone.

Rachel, still standing, shot us a bemused glance. "Partners in crime?" she echoed, her curiosity piqued. Since Evie had claimed her position on my lap, Rachel adjusted, deciding to stand on my other side. Leaning against my shoulder, she wore a pout of disappointment. Unfazed, my hand found its place on her buttock, its touch gradually creeping upward along her thighs.

"Simply, we're on the same annoying mission. We already know each other and decided to help each other since we wanted to solve this problem quickly," I explained, keeping my tone casual as I addressed the question that had piqued Evie's curiosity. I shot glances at Evie and Rachel.

Evie's innocent inquiry followed, "Does she also have servants like you? I mean something like us, but males?"

I couldn't help but chuckle at the notion. "No. She is a goddess of chastity. She had never had sex before. Let alone have a bunch of male harem," I remarked, infusing a touch of mocking tone into my words. The mental image of a chaste goddess managing a group of lustful minions struck me.

"I can't imagine how boring her life was," I added, the humor still present in my voice.

"Goddess of chastity? What is her task? Protect mortals from sexual abusers?" Rachel's curious question hung in the air. The word 'chastity' had seemingly piqued her interest, likely tapping into her past traumas surrounding sexual abuse.

I responded with a nonchalant shrug. "The title of each goddess is simply because of their personality. But I don't know her duties in detail," I admitted.

The divine hierarchy was a labyrinthine structure, with each deity shouldering responsibilities aligned with their inherent qualities. Puriel, the goddess of chastity, was basically the poster child for divine devotion to all things pure. Whether her duties extended to protecting mortals from sexual abusers or not was a mystery.

"What about you? What's your job?" Evie's curiosity was evident in the tightening of her hand around my neck.

I grinned. "The devils' tasks are torturing corrupted souls and managing our territory and the demons in it. Also, defending our power from demons who try to throw the balance," I explained with a relaxed yet confident tone.

"The goddess…" I began, a frown creasing my forehead as uncertainty lingered in my voice. I paused, realizing I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to say. "Maybe make sure the pure souls are happy and in peace?" I suggested with a tinge of disbelief.

The idea of fostering contentment and peace seemed foreign to my understanding. My realm was one of torment and darkness, where I wielded the tools of suffering with expertise. The notion of providing solace and joy to souls was a puzzling concept, and I struggled to grasp how it could be achieved.

In my world, I knew the methods to plunge souls into pain, to elicit their darkest fears and regrets. However, the mechanism of creating perpetual happiness and peace remained elusive.

Did the goddess employ brainwashing techniques, weaving illusions to transport souls to their happiest moments?

"You're not sure about that either?" Evie asked in confusion, raising one of her eyebrows.

I leaned back in my chair, contemplating the question. "Nope," I admitted with a nonchalant shrug.
