Chapter Six: Long for Your Blessings (Part 1)

About an hour after that, I found myself sitting around in the infirmary, staring absentmindedly at Nagisa who was also sitting around, doing nothing, yet there was this one significant difference between us - I was sitting on a stool, while she was sitting on her hospital bed.

"Seriously, the f*ck were ya'll thinking, letting that goddamn monster go all out on ya, huh?"

Beside me, Leo had been preaching to his twin for 10 minutes straight over her recklessness and there was absolutely no sign that he would stop talking soon, after a while, I realized that I'd already had my elbows on the bed rail, with my forehead behind both of my hands, listening to him roasting the law enforcer.

"I said I am NOT taking lessons from someone who can't even abide by the oath."

"Haha. Jokes on you, I am a GOD. I won't abide by your stupid oath. But YOU, you should abide by my safety protocol next time you're gonna hit em high demons up, cuz you incredibly suck~"

I dared say that the second Leo finished those words, the air immediately felt heavier, Nagisa's icy-cold eyes were moving so damn slow to look upon his face. On her own face, the usual glacial expression suddenly seemed much more intense.

"So this is why you came back early? To mock me? As expected of an immature kitty cat."

"Hey, careful who you called 'immature'! I'm still one year older than you, with more fighting experiences than you who just sit around peeking at people's business!"

Then Leo followed her, his face looked as if he was about to snarl. Nice. One fight after another. What exactly was wrong with these people? Oh, and I must also note that this boy didn't seem to mind being called a 'Kitty cat' in the middle of a heated conversation, which caused me to start wondering if deep deep down he does reckon himself as a kitty--

"Oh, so you're playing the 'I could be your older brother.' card now? Being one year older doesn't mean anything. You keep forgetting the fact that I am one rank higher than you, don't you?" A--

Anyhow, when Nagisa suddenly and unintentionally hinted at their age out of the blue, my train of thoughts immediately flew off its track and my body got dead stiff, no more wondering about 'Kitty'. The words 'One year older' began echoing in my mind.

First thing first, Leo being one year older means they are not actually twins. Second, it simply means that Nagisa was only 16 years old as they were speaking.

"..."

In such a moment of truth, then I found myself staring at nothingness, my head somehow started to feel super dizzy.

"That's because our Seraph is a biased b*tch?! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be frozen in place like this!"

"Well, you pissed her off by calling her an 'F' coward. How lucky of you, she decided to give you just a light penalty by putting your long-awaited S-rank trial on pending. Next time you're gonna need to think carefully before trying to beat your commander up."

"Huh?! The f*ck are you trying to suggest, you blue snake?! I didn't do any-f*cking-thing wrong! She was a coward who can't even take up a challenge from her subordinate and then she got pissed off because I f*cking called her out on that!"

"Still lying to yourself as ever. You really deserved your 2 years being frozen in place, after all."

For some reason, after the sense of dizziness, then came the heaviness, as I was listening to the two arguing and Leo roaring, my head felt so light and heavy at the same time, and my body felt super unsteady, I thought I could fall off the stool right then and there...

Ugh... Was it because of the loud voices? Or the two of them arguing? Why had I suddenly...

"Leo... Nagisa... Please, stop..." as I was saying that, my head just couldn't be held up anymore. The heaviness had quickly grown into pain and it devoured my mind mercilessly, I started to groan, and my thoughts began begging for this to stop, Hell, even crying for help.

Then, all of a sudden...

"Well, well~ What have we got here~"

I heard a voice so sweet - sweeter than any sugary thing in this world combined - it captured my mind right at that instant, and replaced every bit of pain.

It was the voice of Pastor Orobas.

"Mr. Orobas? Why are you h-- Ugh?!" Not long after that also came Nagisa's voice, or rather a groan, I couldn't lift my head up to see what was happening to her, yet again, I could hear Pastor Orobas' voice as he was coming closer and closer to her bed.

And he was laughing merrily all the way there.

"Shh... No need to question me, sweet pea~ I'm here to help you~ ALL of you~"

Right after he had finished those words, Nagisa just went completely silent, and then the sound of Pastor Orobas' steps shifted from walking toward her to... toward this side of the bed - toward us: Leo and me.

"Hey?! The f*ck are you--?!"

"You too, wild lion, let me help you with your burdens~"

As soon as he said that, it then became Leo's turn to go silent.

Being done with the two, Pastor Orobas simply continued moving, eventually, he came for me.

"Ah... Finally, my angel... My sweet and alluring angel..."

"...?" Before I realized it, he had already arrived at my spot and stood beside me, his long and smooth finger reached for my chin, and then he lifted my face up, forcing the dazed me to hold eye contact with such a pair of seducing golden eyes.

Ah... Eyes so beautiful and mesmerizing, just looking at them, it made me unable to think...

"Such heavenly sweetness... If the Lord hath not forbidden us to meet, then it could only mean that I am allowed to savor in thy body..."

"Give this demon of sin your blessing, Adel Ozwald."
