Somewhere in Koorselian, human world,
Alice and Luke walked down the mountain which was out of nowhere, those sapphire blue eyes looked annoyed at the man in front of her, Alice then threw the bag she was holding at Luke's head, but he dodge it.
Luke turned his head and stared blankly at Alice behind him who looked angry "can you call me in more normal way?" he said annoyed, he took the bag that was thrown by Alice
Alice's eyes glared at Luke, "why?!" she yelled
Luke looked surprised, "what?" he asks
Alice gritted her teeth, "what the hell?! how can you make me carry your stuff?!" she said with fiery eyes, those eyes looked at Luke as if intending to kill the man, if only she had her powers back she would definitely kill this demon by now
Luke sighed, he walked over to Alice, "don't think because you are a woman, I will give you some special treatment" he said, he then put the bag he was holding on Alice's neck, "keep walking" he ordered, Luke then stepped back down the mountain
Alice glared at Luke who started to walk "I'll kill you!" she yelled
Luke glanced at her, "good luck, angel without magic" he sneered with a smirk plastered on his face.
Alice sighed, "God forgive me..." she mumbled softly, she looked back at Luke sharply after saying that, "you bastard!" she cursed in a raised voice
"your language" Luke warned as he walked away

Heavania, God's House
Shie stepped into the house of God, she looked around and the atmosphere was gloomy here, this was unusual, she walked through the hall until she was arrived in front of the Lord, "what happened?" ask Shie
God looked at Shie, "holy angel ..." she said as if muttering, "she is lost.."
Shie looked around again, making sure that no one was around, "I warned you didn't I? to not trust the rabbit"
Suddenly tears fell on her cheeks, "I can't..." she muttered slowly
Shie just sighed, "let her go"
The Lord held her chest, "it hurts" she said as tears fell from her sapphire eyes which began to look dim, "this hurts, I can't live without her" she then stood up from her seat, but as if there was no strength left in her legs, she fell "This hurts so much, I don't want to lose her" she repeated
Shie sighed again, she crossed her arms, "Luchia is gone, accept that fact" she said, "how can a god be weak like this?" her eyes looked down on God in front of her
God can only sob, her hands have not let go of his grip on his chest, "I'm sorry, forgive me, I can't get rid of my greed, it hurts so much"
Shie walked closer to her, she knelt down and grabbed the chin of the God, "how can you ask me to respect you if you are like this?" sharp eyes stared straight at those sapphire eyes in front of her, "how can you act like this in front of a holiest being like me? if you continue being like this, you really look like an imitation" Shie let go of her hand, she then stood up, looking down at the God who was in front of her, "your angel is with the Demon King" she said then walked away
The sapphire eyes widened, it looked directly at Shie, "demon king? why?"
Shie stopped walking, she turned her head and smirked, "what do you think?" she asked
The sapphire eyes were still wide, her heart feels like stopping for a moment, "is this ...."
"Congratulations, you have participated into the rabbit's rotten plan" said Shie, she then stepped away again and soon she disappeared, swallowed by the dark light in front of her
The God gritted, those sapphire eyes filled with anger, "Viosa!" she called, but there was no response around her, at that moment she knew, she had been ensnared by the rabbit's trick
.
The sun was at its peak, Alice and Luke had been walking since morning, Alice's legs felt very stiff at this time, they had walked for 3 days with only rest from night until sunrise.
"Let's rest here" Luke said to Alice, Luke put his luggage on the ground then sat on a rock and took a water bag from his bag
Finally, Alice was able to rest her legs, her breath had never been this heavy, even though it was just walking down the hill, but her breath was already gasping, now she knows that the human body is really weak!, "Give me my strength back!" Her eyes sharpened as she looked at Luke who was drinking water from the leather pouch
Luke stopped drinking water, he then smirked "know you know how weak humans are?" he then threw the drinking bag at Alice, "still want to be human?" he asked scornfully
Alice caught the water bag that was thrown by Luke, she quickly drank the water in it until there was not a drop left, "what a crazy man why he can keeps his powers, but not me?!" she muttered annoyed
Luke just sighed hearing that, he crossed his arms over his chest, "Just so you know, I don't have any demonic powers right now" he confirmed, but Alice just glared at him, "I'm used to the human body, I always leave the kingdom and become a human from long time ago" he explained, he then started to pick up the things he put on the floor
When Alice saw Luke picking up her stuff, her eyes widened, "no!" she shouted in protest
Luke looked at Alice in surprise "what?"
"We just had a break! I'm still tired!" Alice protesting in a rising tone, she stood up from her seat and glared at Luke in front of her "I don't want to walk anymore! I'm tired!"
Luke sighed, he put his luggage on the floor, he then walked towards Alice's place, "okay" he said
When she heard that, a smile bloomed on the beautiful woman's face, "thank you---" she stopped when she saw Luke walking away, "where are you going?" she asked
Luke turned, "you can rest as much as you want, but when you're satisfied you have to bring all my things" he said then he walked back leaving Alice
The sapphire eyes widened when she heard that, she gritted her teeth, "I can't believe it! You really are a demon!" annoyed
Luke turned his head again, "yes ... I am indeed a demon, a demon lord to be precise!"
"you have no morals!" Alice shouted
Luke sighed "yes because I'm a demon lord" he replied in a flat voice
Alice's eyes glared at Luke, "I will kill you when my power returns!"
Luke just smirked when he heard that, "can you?"
Hearing that, blood rose to Alice's head, "FUCK YOU!" she cursed angrily
"your language" Luke warned as he walked back
Feeling has no choice, Alice glanced at the item on the ground, "Okay I won't rest anymore! Help me!" she asked Luke
Luke just sighed, he walked back then picked up the things that were on the ground, "Are you sure?" Luke asked to make sure but his tone sounded mocking
Alice was just silent, "I'd rather keep walking than being your horse" she grumbled in annoyance, she then walked back, even though her legs still felt numb, she really had no choice, it's better to continue than she has to struggle to lift that heavy thing on her back
During the journey, Alice only grumbled in annoyance when they met someone on the street, when there's a passersby Luke would greet them with a smile, but not Alice, it couldn't be helped, if she got closer, evil energy would come to those people, it was because of Luke who changed her holy power into a curse.
When the sapphire eyes looked at Luke who was smiling greeting people, Alice just looked annoyed, "what a hypocrite" she mumbled when she saw Luke greeting a woman passing by.
After the woman left, Luke turned to Alice "did you say something?" he asked
Alice just sighed, she looked down deeply, "nothing" she answered, she then walked back, if she fought with Luke, he would definitely not give her time to rest, it was Luke's way of punishing her.
Day had turned to night, they had found a hut to stay the night, the two of them put their things on the floor.
Alice was silent the entire way, there was no grunt, even now Alice didn't let out a sound of relief when she finally rested. Luke who realized that, looked at Alice in surprise, this woman had been strange since this afternoon when they were fighting, she became calmer, "what's wrong?" Luke breaks the silence
Alice just stared at Luke for a moment, but she just ignored Luke's question, she just went back to unpacking the things in her bag
Luke who felt strange, walked towards Alice, "hey, what's wrong? If you stay like this, I don't know what you want!" upset
Alice just stared into Luke's eyes, there was no response, she was just silent as if she didn't hear anything
Luke sighed, "okay, if you continue like this, bring your things, we'll go back to walking" he deciding suddenly, he then arranged Alice's things that had been taken from her bag
Alice still didn't say anything, she just looked down, "devil" she muttered under her breath
Luke turned, "what?"
Alice glared at Luke "you are a demon, a lunatic!" annoyed, she suddenly stood up, her breath getting heavy as she said that, "how can you make me walk for 4 days and only rest if you want!?" she continued, thanks to the mounting emotions, tears suddenly flowed from Alice's sapphire eyes, she was really tired, she couldn't release her emotions properly since she met Luke, she felt like it's better to disappear more than being like this
Luke stood up instantly when he saw Alice start to cry "why are you crying!?"
Alice rubbed her eyes roughly, "I'm not crying!" she was annoyed, "You madman! Heartless! How can you make me walk!?" Even though Alice had wiped her tears, her tears didn't stop, her emotions were still running high
"Calm yourself!" said Luke trying to calm her down
Alice glared, "Calm down!? You're telling me to calm down!? You're the one who made me like this!" Alice keep yelling, she then walked away from the hut, "okay if you want to continue the journey! don't rest I'm fine! I will follow you without rest until my feet rot and I die on the road! I will follow you even I became a ghost! damn bastard!"
Alice stepped back out of the hut, but her numb legs tripped her up, but luckily before her body hit the ground, Luke deftly caught her, helping her to balance herself.
"hey, come on, I didn't mean it like that..." Luke panicked himself seeing Alice who was still consumed by emotion in front of him
Alice gritted her teeth in annoyance, she pushed hard against Luke's body that was hugging her, "let go!" she shouted angrily
Luke let go of Alice's body "we have to rest, you're not fine"
Alice glared at him, "not fine? since when have I been fine?! Since I meeting you I've never been fine!"
"complain all you want, I'll listen to it" said Luke offering himself as a bag of Alice's annoyance
"It's useless for me to complain! 4 days I've been complaining because I was tired, you never listened to it!" Alice then lifted her dress, she took off the sandals she was wearing and slammed the sandals on Luke's face, "You see my feet! I told you I'm tired, my feet are numb, have you heard me?!" Alice showed Luke her red and swollen legs
Luke just stared at Alice's feet, "okay it's my fault, I'm sorry"
Alice gritted her teeth in annoyance, "This is of course all your fault! Whose fault is it!?" she yelled, "ah so annoying! it's useless if I yell!" she muttered in annoyance, she then walked back into the hut and sat on the floor, she looked away when she saw Luke approaching her
Luke sighed "okay we will start the journey when you feel better" Luke decided
Alice was still silent, "just kill me" she said suddenly
Luke paused, "hey, I know you're mad but--"
"What's the point of me living? My job is to kill the demon lord, but I was enslaved by you and moreover even my divine power was sealed?" Alice ridiculed herself, feeling hopeless, better to kill herself if she had to keep following Luke, "it wasn't enough that you broke my trust, now you want to destroy my dignity? what do you want?" she continued, Alice looked down deeply, she curled her body, in her entire life she had never felt humiliated like this
Luke gritted his teeth " ok this is all my fault I did betray your trust but I didn't mean to destroy your dignity or anything " Luke explained but of course there was no reaction from Alice , it made Luke speechless , he really don't know what to do now, "I'm sorry" is all he can say
Morning had come, when Alice opened her eyes she could see Luke in front of her, serving food
Alice got up from her sleep, she hadn't slept in a long time, it was refreshing.
Luke who saw Alice awake turned his head, "are you awake?"
Alice was silent
Luke sighed "are you still upset? I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to ..."
"Never mind, I don't want to fuss anymore" cut Alice, she turned to Luke, "tell me, what are you actually bringing me for?"
