Chapter 232: Wasted Time

"And where is that Hero, anyway? Isn't he supposed to protect you and all that? He should be walking you home right now."

Akuma looked sideways at Angelie.

"I didn't want to impose on him any further, so asked him to go home ahead of me. I wasn't sure how long the meeting would be, and I didn't want him to wait."

Angelie shook her head before she looked back at him.

"And you didn't even attend the meeting. You should have let him do it."

Akuma closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.

"Yeah… Maybe you're right—"

"That Hero is such a pushover, always doing what you say without even pushing back! If that was me, you couldn't order me around like that!"

Akuma smirked as he pointed at Angelie and looked at her directly.

"So… you'll walk me home even if I ask you not to…?"

Angelie blushed a little as she asked him.

"H-huh?! T-that's not what we're talking about here! I'm just saying that I wouldn't take orders from you without putting up a fight!"
