Game Of Time

Lucifer quickly knocked down his enemies in one go, ignoring the demon's words, of course. Lucifer's anger was now at its peak, and blue glints seemed to be visible from his body.

Before long, a groan from the demon in front of him sounded loud, until in the end, the figure in front of Lucifer disappeared without a trace.

Only the human domain body used by Lucifer could be seen in front of him.

{L, it...-hurts... where are you? I'm afraid..}

Lucifer's eyes that previously flashed now began to return to normal and Lucifer quickly shot back to the location where Jill was.

"Jill!!" shrieked Lucifer frantically.

A pale face with slightly blue lips Lucifer could see clearly from Jill's face.

"No! You'll be fine," said Lucifer, who immediately hugged Jill.

The direction of Jill's gaze was staring straight ahead with a blank stare as if the girl didn't realize what had just happened to her.

"L.." the girl whispered after a long time she stared at Lucifer.

"Are you okay?" asked Lucifer weakly with his hand placing his finger on Jill's veins, checking the condition of the girl's body, whether it was true that Jill had drunk the poison placed by the demon or vice versa.

It took Lucifer some time to be silent and examine her carefully, like a doctor using a stethoscope to examine a patient.

'My guess is right! Luckily I wasn't fooled,' said Lucifer after successfully examining Jill's body.

Without a word, Lucifer immediately hugged Jill. Then what about Jill's response?

Of course, she was confused and couldn't say anything. Even she was currently in a daze with what was going on, because the only thing she remembered was that she had looked for Lucifer's figure for no reason, and after the person she was looking for was near her with his face which was clearly full of worry, even to the point of hugging her.

"What exactly happened, L?" Jill asked with her innocent twinkling eyes at Lucifer.

Lucifer gulped down his saliva roughly.

What should he say? He couldn't possibly say that one of the demonic figures he had just managed to exterminate earlier had put poison on Jill, right?

How could Jill believe it?!

But wait...

Didn't Jill just believe that he wasn't a human? And the magic ball? Wasn't Jill also sure that the ball was no ordinary ball? even now, Jill has resigned herself that Lucifer is her destiny, as Lucifer has told her many times, right?

Questions like that kept circling in Lucifer's head at this time, trying to digest what Jill knew or not and whether what he wanted to tell Jill was an oddity or maybe a normal thing for the girl.

"Can you believe that I finished off a Devil who wanted to harm you?" asked Lucifer carefully, taking a good look at Jill's face.

If an ordinary human who didn't believe in his existence should have said that Lucifer was currently existing and joked with her, but if Jill believed his words, then the most likely condition was that the girl looked worried and a little paranoid about what was happening.

Silence...

There was no change in attitude from Jill.

Wait, what does that mean?

Lucifer seemed to be frowning at the look on Jill's face. If it is like this, it feels like Lucifer really wants to use his power to read Jill's mind again. It's just that according to the agreement, if Jill doesn't allow it or calls his name, then he won't try to read Jill's mind.

"You're not reading my mind, are you?"

Said Jill was unexpected. Lucifer shook his head quite excitedly. Truly as a dignified Devil class, he could not possibly not keep his promise.

"So... do you think I believe what you say or vice versa?"

Like a psychic, now Jill is the one who is starting to be able to read Lucifer's attitude.

"How did you know I was watching you out of curiosity from what you just asked?" asked Lucifer at length.

Jill showed that smile.

"Why don't you answer me and smile instead, are you happy? But why can you be happy? Aren't you--"

Instantly Jill quickly covered Lucifer's mouth with her hand. She really didn't expect that Lucifer would be so noisy and full of a bunch of questions.

"You'd better shut up. My body hasn't recovered much. Is the devil you meant earlier poisoning me so that I look exhausted and feel suffocated?"

Lucifer's eyes was perfectly round. He didn't expect that his human partner was actually beyond his expectations.

"You do believe it!" screamed Lucifer, who was excited again after Jill had just released her hand from the grip on Lucifer's lips.

Jill took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Let's go. We better go home. I don't want to stay here for long," Jill finally said to Lucifer so as not to attract the attention of many people in that place.

Enthusiastically, Lucifer, who didn't realize Jill's implied words, just immediately took Jill out of there.

'Are the enemies of L really that many? Am I bothering L?' Monologue Jill subconsciously felt a little guilty for her unusual lover.

On the other side...

Some devils and demons who know who Lucifer is, of course, look at Lucifer and Jill from various perspectives.

Some devils who want to overthrow Lucifer's position, of course, want to get Jill, who is a weakness for Lucifer. Still, on the other hand, some are more sympathetic to Lucifer because the devil they respect can meet his soulmate.

'Time .. it seems only a game of time can answer everything!'
