Chapter 77: Full Disclosure

Angelie and Akuma left the house after a few more words between Sourei and her future daughter-in-law. Angelie was walking a few steps ahead of Akuma. They were quiet for quite some time before Akuma broke the silence.

"So, that story about wanting to be independent or something and live the way how you want to. That was true, huh?"

Akuma talked as he put his hands inside his side pockets.

"Yeah. You didn't believe me the first time? How typical."

Angelie answered without looking back.

"Was that… how you felt when you were… the Saint?"

Akuma lowered his voice as he spoke.

"W-why are you asking me that?!"

Angelie stopped walking and turned around to look at Akuma.

"N-nothing in particular! It was just too quiet! I'm trying to make small talk to pass the time."

Akuma also stopped walking. He averted his gaze from Angelie.
