Chapter 334: Getting married twice isn't illegal?
"You called me here just to play games with you?"
In Gabriel's rented apartment, the two of them were leaning against each other playing games.
Sitting on his lap, Gabriel pouted and said, "Of course not~ It's been so long since we last met, so I wanted to be a little intimate with you~"
Gabriel: (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Sakurai: (≖ - ≖)
Lies — no need to guess.
Sakurai Saki sneered inwardly.
For my money, you really can do anything.
"Really? Then can you kiss me?" Sakurai Saki held her tighter, and on the TV screen, following his movements, the character in the game also stopped.
Gabriel also stopped, her face turning red: "If it's Aki then… okay."
(,,¬﹏¬,,)
She leaned back, lifted her head to look at him, and slowly closed her eyes.
"What's the price?" Sakurai Saki didn't take it seriously at all.
It wasn't the first time Gabriel had teased him.
But she never had the guts to follow through, and it always ended halfway.
Sakurai Saki wasn't interested in her first kiss anyway.
A useless angel… he had no desire to take care of her for life.
"Take care of me."
"Such a simple request, huh."
"Exactly, it's a great deal." Gabriel opened her eyes, only to see him looking at her with a "you idiot" expression.
Damn it, is my charm really useless on this guy?!
"Umu, then kiss me, and I'll take care of you for the rest of your life." Sakurai Saki suddenly changed his attitude and slowly lowered his head.
Seeing that, it felt like steam was about to rise from Gabriel's head, she stammered, "Don't, I… I was just joking!!"
"What are you doing?"
She tried to push back his face as it got closer and closer.
'Whatever, if he takes a little advantage of me… it should be fine.'
Gabriel accepted her fate.
But just as they were about to kiss, Sakurai Saki stopped.
A few seconds passed, and the expected outcome didn't happen. Gabriel slowly opened her eyes, seeing his smiling face.
"..."
Gabriel: (｡•̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ꐦ) !!!
For some reason, a wave of indescribable irritation welled up inside her, a frustration that gave her courage.
Isn't it just a kiss? Just do it already!
A second later, their lips touched.
Sakurai: Σ(°ロ°) !!!!?
She actually did it!?
Gabriel's soft lips just brushed against his lightly before she pulled away.
She lowered her head, face flushed red: "Alright, I've paid the price. You have to take care of me for life."
"Got it. I'll take care of you." Sakurai Saki wasn't the type to break promises — in fact, he took his words very seriously.
Even though he said it jokingly earlier, once the words were out, they were like water spilled — no taking them back.
Besides, otherwise it would be like playing with Gabriel's feelings, so whatever.
"I-It's not like you really have to take care of me for life. You've got a girlfriend, so… just give me money." Gabriel revealed her true nature.
Who'd want to stay in the human world with him for life anyway? Did he even know how long angels lived?
Wait!
Staying in the human world for life? Doesn't that mean…
That means—Heaven!
(๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)✧
Heaven for a lazy angel!
"No! I changed my mind! I'll stay with you for life! Aki, let's get married!" Gabriel threw herself into Sakurai Saki's arms, rubbing against him.
If she just married a human, then she could stay in the human world forever, right?
Besides, Aki wasn't a bad choice — a perfect "long-term meal ticket."
Vignette would return to the Demon World in a few years, and by then she could just move in with Aki. Perfect.
"Rejected!" Sakurai Saki frowned.
Marriage?
No way in hell she'd be the one!
Ai-chan, Chika, Nino, Kaguya… Sakurai Saki already thought that was more than enough. Even if he didn't care much about social rules, a marriage certificate could only have one name on it — when the time came, the real problem would be who to walk down that path with.
"We can register our marriage in Heaven! Human world laws don't apply to angels, so you can totally get married twice!" Gabriel eagerly suggested.
"..."
She really did have a scheming mind!
Why don't you tell me to go to Demon World and register another one too?
"Stop dreaming! Back to the main topic—"
Before Sakurai Saki could finish, a knock sounded at the door—
Knock knock!!
Then came a cheerful, lively voice that made people want to punch it:
"Gabriel~~ I came to play with you!! The Great Demon King Satanichia-sama has descended upon your house! Hey! Gabriel! Open the door!!"
"Who's that?"
"An idiot!" Gabriel reluctantly left Sakurai Saki's arms.
Her long-term meal ticket, just like that, ruined.
She was so close to succeeding!
Damn that stupid demon!
She opened the door.
Gabriel said irritably, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to play with you." The red-haired demon said. There was a bat-shaped hair clip on her bangs, quite distinctive.
But her vibe was full of "low-level monster energy," the kind of character that would get beaten up badly by Gabriel.
In fact, that was exactly what usually happened.
Gabriel softened her voice and said, "Hey, Satania, just now I was at a turning point in my life, you know the consequences of interrupting me, right?"
A few seconds later.
"Th-that…" Satania held the big lump on her head, tears welling up, "I… I didn't mean to."
Satania: (っ╥﹏╥ς)
"Hmph, since you know you're wrong, then scram! My sister's coming soon, and if she sees a little demon like you, she'll probably wipe you out on the spot." Gabriel threatened.
Of course, that was a lie. Heaven and Demon World had pretty good relations now — mainly because both had left their original worlds and came to a completely different dimension; picking fights would only hurt both sides.
"I'll go now…" Satania said gloomily.
She only came to play with Gabriel, why did she have to be treated so cruelly?
"What's going on? So noisy." Sakurai Saki stepped out and saw Satania, who had just been beaten up by Gabriel.
This girl had a pure, innocent vibe, like… beautiful but missing a few brain cells.
"W-who are you?! Why are you coming out of Gabriel's room?! And you're a man?!" Satania couldn't believe her eyes.
That lazy angel, that Gabriel, was actually living together with such a handsome man?!
"Let me introduce you, this is my fiancé." Gabriel said with a smile.
"EHHHHHHーー!!!"
Satania: Σ(°Д°υ)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thud! Sakurai Saki gave her a good "hand chop" on the head.
This girl just had to make things even messier, huh?
Are you really an angel or a demon?
"Uwuu~ that hurts." Gabriel held her head, her voice weak: "You clearly kissed me just now, and now you're denying it."
"Ki… kiss??"
"I-I have something to do, I'll go now!"
三三ᕕ( ⌓̈ )ᕗ
Satania stepped back a few paces, turned around with a red face, and ran down the stairs.
"That girl really is pure in the weirdest way." Sakurai Saki rubbed his chin, mumbling to himself.
That's one of Gabriel's fellow angels?
"Yup, demons in Demon World are all naïve like that."
"Demons, huh?"
The corner of Sakurai Saki's mouth twitched slightly.
He suddenly remembered — earlier, he seemed to have heard something like "Great demon something…"
Both Heaven and Demon World… are beyond saving.
"Alright, forget about that idiot, let's get back to being intimate." Gabriel pushed Sakurai Saki back into the room.
"Being intimate with what exactly?"
This line — didn't come from Sakurai Saki, but from a gentle female voice.
Gabriel turned around and saw another figure appear at the door… or rather, another angel.
"Zelel… onee-sama?"
It was over.
