Chapter 277 - Kindness(Asia) meets Cruelty(Ryuu)

In the past, Asia was abandoned by her mother in front of a church as an infant and was raised there. Sometime, during her childhood, she had awakened her Twilight Healing to heal an injured puppy she discovered, which was witnessed by one of the Catholic Church members causing her to become symbolized as the Holy Maiden. But, in all that time she didn't have either friends or people to talk to since most people viewed her as a monster who could heal wounds. At some point, Diodora Astaroth devised a plot to have Asia heal him, a Devil, and cause her banishment from the Church with people labeling her as a "witch". With no place to go, Asia had to rely on the Fallen Angels.

However, her kind heart did not bear any hatred for those that sin her and this reason alone made the lover of their god mad. They preach love and kindness yet are unable to forgive an innocent girl for doing kindness without any bias. She doesn't know any better and if they had thought her then this wouldn't happen yet they are a bunch of hypocrites that only view themselves as the righteous just because they prayed to their lord. Asia was confused why she was willing to speak her thoughts to the people that she just met yet the warmth embrace of the green haired woman gave her a motherly warmth.

Meanwhile, one of her friends who had long wild spiky hair and fierce demeanor was cracking her fist seemingly ready to throw some hands against the entire Vatican for their action. They knew about her life yet hearing and personal seeing is too different a thing. Asia gave off such a kind aura that it made it difficult to not pamper and love her.

"Poor child, you've suffered enough." Asia was speechless and couldn't help but smile at how loving her embrace was and the first time she genuinely felt love without any view of being a monster. She couldn't help but in tears and cried on her chest while the fierce woman, Justine growled.

"I'm going to ask Ryuu later to bring me to the Vatican and do some crusades!" The young innocent girl was appreciating that they were sympathizing with her but she quickly tried to stop her and said.

"N-No, please don't! I don't want things to escalate because of me. I'm grateful that all of you are getting angry at me despite being complete strangers." Asia is still confused why she was compelled to tell her past and this is because of Ryuu's luck and her faith in her god that she fated to meet him and be blessed like no other. The stoic and serious smiled and patted her head before speaking.

"Don't worry, we won't do something like that….yet." Her last words came to a whisper that Asia barely heard while the stoic woman, Trese, wanted to do the same as Justine and raise the entire place to the ground. She does not tolerate such injustice and once used her power to punish a celebrity in her homeworld that killed her child in order to save her career and when that child turned into a monster who only wanted its mother's love was killed by her own mother making Trese infuriated. She summoned back the baby monster and had their vengeance against the celebrity.

'I've seen many heinous things but to be unable to sense her innocent and kind aura is beyond foolish. They are affected by Madness and blinded by their vanity and faith.' Amihan silently thought sensing an immense kind and innocent aura coming from the young girl that it made her, A Goddess, compelled to help her. She never blames the teaching of their god and only the maddening humans that consume by their vanity and cruelty. They are blind from their flaws and often speak lies to avert the truth.

Her husband rarely lies since he knew in the past as Yaldabaoth, he was vanity and a man child who was blinded by his vanity and was filled with lies until he witnessed the truth. Asia smiled and calmed down while she saw the outgoing girl, Nezuko said.

"That's right, Asia! We will just talk to them about you and promise we won't hurt (physically) anyone." Asia sighs then realizes something and says.

"I'm sorry but are you all aware of the supernatural?" She asked curiously and didn't feel any reason to be afraid, especially Kie who finished hugging her and said.

"We are, and how about you come with us, Asia? I promise I'll treat you like my own daughter." Asia doesn't know if she should agree but was then hugged by Nezuko and said.

"Yeah! I always wanted a sister like you. Our Ryuu would surely like you!" The young girl doesn't know what to do and ended up agreeing to come with them as she was taken to large mansion where Asia felt welcome meeting some people like another black hair girl who introduce herself as Jin-Ah and another girl named Cha Hae-In who looked at them and the latter lean to Kie and said.

"Isn't she that innocent girl that Ryuu told us about?" Cha Hae-in couldn't believe how she emitted such profound kindness that it was shocking that none in the Vatican was affected. Meanwhile, Jin-Ah went to talk to Asia who sat beside Nezuko offering her some refreshments which was a tea made by Ryuu and some sweet that Asia nervously took a bite and was immediately greeted by it's sweet taste making Jin-Ah grin and said.

"Delicious, right? It's made by our lover, Ryuu!" Asia kept eating until she realized what she was doing and stopped making Nezuko smile and said.

"No need to hold back, we have plenty more. Just enjoy yourself." Asia was a bit reluctant but began eating while thinking about the name that kept popping up and said.

"I'm sorry for asking but who is Ryuu?" The one who answered was Cha Hae-in who said.

"He's our lover, it's nice to meet you, I'm Cha Hae-in or Hae-In." Asia nodded and introduced herself before wondering why a single man had this many lovers and asked.

"All of you are his lover?" Kie smiled walking closer as she sat beside her and said.

"We are, and we couldn't be happier. That aside, where are Shinobu and Kanae?" The one who responded was Amihan who transformed into her human form surprising Asia and said.

"They are currently in the market with Mitsuri." She walked to Asia making the young girl nervous as she somewhat felt the presence of a god and felt her hand patting her head and said.

"Such a kind and beautiful child, your god is a fortunate one to have someone like you pray for them." She then introduced herself making Asia even more nervous but calm down when she suddenly heard someone arrive and said.

"I didn't expect for you to meet her instead of me, Kie."

Asia blush when she saw the person arrive that made her heart drawn by his charm. He had a mysterious and alluring demeanor that was akin to an abyss where staring for too long would consume you whole. The young man had long wild hair and blood soaked red eyes akin to a blood moon wearing a suit as he sat in front of her and introduced himself before Kie told him what had happened.

When everything was done, the young man, Ryuu rubbed his chin looking at the young girl who was the polar opposite of him. He is Evil while Asia Was Good, when he is Cruelty then Asia was Kindness. Ryuu was infuriated at the Vatican and needed to reform it later but he needs to hold a meeting with the angels first which can wait for later when Kokabiel shows himself and uses him as leverage for the peace treaty.

He can easily rewrite everything to his liking but it is too easy and wants to enjoy himself letting his enemy believe they have the edge but in truth, they are walking exactly where he wants them. Ryuu nodded and stood up walking closer to Asia who was nervous but he knelt down and said.

"Young Asia, do you want to live with us? I know we barely know each other but you trust us that we will provide you the protection you need. Perhaps this is what your lord wants. Your lord led you to Kie and met me. Therefore ,I'm giving you a choice if you want to stay with me?" Asia believed his words as her faith was strong and believed that her god did not abandon her which was somewhat true and tore up as she said.

"Y-Yes, I would like that. Kie is kind and I truly believe our father in heaven let me meet you." Ryuu smiled, patting her head as he stood up to leave and Trese stopped and asked.

"Where are you going?" She already knows the answer but still felt like asking and Ryuu turn to smile transforming into his female form and said.

"I'm going for a walk. A very enthusiastic walk."
