"I...." Lucifer realized too late that he had misspoken.
"Go out!" expelled Yena furiously.
Lucifer still had a tense expression on his face. He bandaged the back of his hand in a hurry and then obediently walked out. He's being tame.
Yena took a deep breath. The blush on his face still hadn't faded. She looked at the broken window pane. A gust of wind came in and brushed his face. Yena has not felt the fresh air for several days. During these days she never came out because Lucifer forbade her strictly.
Yena picked up the plastic filled with groceries among the broken glass.
She opened it and a fine frown formed on her forehead.
"Today is not yogurt but soy milk?"
"What? Soy milk?" Lucifer somehow poked his head through the door that wasn't tightly shut. Why is he still there?
Yena glared at him as if Lucifer would be scared and left immediately. However, from the start the man didn't obey her out of fear, but because he didn't like it and didn't want to argue.
Lucifer seemed to mutter a little before finally pulling his head back and then closing the door tightly.
"I never told Leon that Yena likes soy milk too." Lucifer narrowed his sharp eyes.
the man put one hand in his pants pocket and then walked out of the building.
In plain view, he seemed to only take a few steps. But in reality, Lucifer had passed hundreds of meters, and only after a few turns did he arrive at a castle.
The blackbirds perched around the castle flew away as soon as Lucifer approached.
The building that towered quite high looked very quiet and dark. The little boy sat with his legs dangling on the window sill while playing with a tablet in his hand.
Seeing Lucifer coming, Leon was somewhat surprised and immediately jumped down. His body floated as light as a feather and landed without making a sound.
"What is it?" He asked. His face was a little tense. To be honest he had guessed that Lucifer's arrival here might be because of the soy milk.
Maybe she doesn't like him? Well, he shouldn't have listened to that human's empty suggestion.
"I never told you about soy milk. How did you know? Looks like Yena didn't tell you that she likes soy milk either." Lucifer said. His tone is smooth and cold yet interrogative.
It was hard to believe the creature was furrowing its brows just because of the 'soy milk' problem.
"O-oh so Yena likes it, huh?" The tension on Leon's little face faded.
"Good. Actually, at that time, I was confused because the yogurt had run out. Then a man told me that if Yena likes yogurt, she must also like soy milk. I'm naive. Next time I promise I won't be careless again." Leon said with a regretful smile.
Luckily, Yena likes soy milk. If not, then his life will be over. This Imoogi is very sensitive to anything related to Yena. Lucifer would not accept the slightest mistake.
"A man?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow. He reached out his hand to touch Leon's head and without permission read the boy's mind.
After finding the figure of the man Leon met at the convenience store on the sidelines of his accumulated memories, Lucifer pulled his hand back and snorted softly.
"From now on you have to be careful with humans, especially that man." He said.
"Well." Leon didn't want to ask why. He just complied. Looking at Lucifer's expression, that man should have had a relationship with Yena. This time he was careless.
"This is a list of Yena's favorite foods and necessities. From now on you are free to buy which of these. The important thing is to be on time." Lucifer took out several pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Leon.
The boy widened his pupils when he saw the detailed list of Yena's food and necessities.
"This... you even know her menstrual cycle too." Leon gasped. Lucifer must have read Yena's mind to know this detail.
"Lee Shan, what is all this for how long are you going to hold that girl?" Leon lifted his head and looked at Lucifer in surprise.
"I don't think you intend to let it go even though you already got the Yeouiju, right?" Leon looked at Lucifer accusingly.
"None of your business. you just do what I tell you." Lucifer said as he turned around to leave.
"Lucifer, do you think you intend to keep her as a pet?" Leon's words interrupted Lucifer's steps.
"There are many beautiful and sweet but also mean girls in this world. They meet your criteria, and most importantly the heavens will not punish you if you take a pet from the sinners." Leon said quite loudly. ever since he faintly smelled Lucifer's true intentions he couldn't help but warn him.
In this world, it is common knowledge that certain types of creatures like to take care of other creatures who are weaker than them, including humans.
However, of course, The Divine beings are watched over by the heavens. If they are caught doing a disgraceful act especially disturbing other beings then they will get karma.
Holy creatures are only allowed to have pets from certain groups, the class of vile sinners who have indeed been cursed by the heavens.
While Yena is an innocent and flawless human. Detaining Yena will only worsen Lucifer's curse.
"Think about it one more time after all don't you feel sorry for that poor girl? Soon you will evolve, grow your conscience so that your path to the sky is easier." Leon tried to persuade Lucifer.
However, he should not associate conscience with Lucifer, because the two are something that may never fuse.
Lucifer's sharp eyes blinked rapidly several times. The corners of his lips lifted into a thin smirk.
"Pity? blame herself for having the misfortune of meeting me." Lucifer stepped back only to stop again and then turn his head ninety degrees.
"Oh yeah, it's best if the word 'pet' doesn't come out of your mouth when you're around Yena."
After saying that Lucifer stepped away and in just a few steps disappeared from Leon's sight.
The boy furrowed his brows tightly. True, if anyone was to blame for Yena's misfortune then it would be her misfortune and her innocence.
Ah but no matter how smart humans are when faced with Lucifer's extraordinary acting, they will also be manipulated.
Clap
Tuk
Lucifer kept going, leaving dry bird carcasses along the way.
Kwak!
A poor bird couldn't avoid the flash of Lucifer's hand and fell prey to it. Slowly dying and drying into a fossil in the man's hands.
Boo
Lucifer threw the dried carcass back.
No matter how much he devoured, he still felt thirsty. Day by day the taste of the animals on earth is getting bland.
"Shh." Lucifer touched his dry throat.
"If only I could eat something bigger, and fresher...." He smirked lightly. at this moment crossed his mind the stunning innocent look that had been flashing in his head ever since. Very sweet.
