fallen Angel

When Arthur asked back, Lucifer finally realized that he was digging his own grave and couldn't say a word.

"Could it be that you... have been following me?"

"How is it possible! I didn't follow you." He refuted Arthur's speculation with a roar.He wouldn't even admit it to death. He was worried about the little priest's precarious physical condition, so from the moment he walked out of the health room, he cast an invisibility spell and followed him every step of the way.

Although he tried his best to deny it, the reaction of losing his composure was not convincing at all. Arthur was silent, he already had the answer in his heart, but only stared at him with clear black eyes, as if waiting for him to confess.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't believe it?" Lucifer became a little annoyed at being looked at by him, but he still refused to let go, "It should be said that it's not called stalking, I just think you can't even walk steadily, I just wanted to check on your situation, you were too slow to find out. Also, I saved you, shouldn’t you thank me first?”

"Thank you." Arthur thanked bluntly, but then changed the topic, "But you are also to blame for the reason I am in such a mess."

Looking directly at Arthur with green eyes, Lucifer replied confidently, "What's none of my business?"

"If you didn't do that kind of thing yesterday, I wouldn't be powerless to resist, and you... You forced me to submit by force, shouldn't you also apologize to me?"

"Apologize? What stupid things are you talking about?" Lucifer snorted coldly, "Don't forget, you're the one who can't stop orgasming! In the end, you twisted your waist and swayed your hips, asking me to love you well, what kind of violation is that? ?”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The priest, who was poked in the sore spot, protested with a pale face, "You tied me up and drugged me with disgusting plants, so I became like that."

"Manning can at most only have a catalytic effect. If you don't react yourself, it won't work at all."

"You... Damn it! Let me go..." Arthur wanted to break free from his arms angrily, but he couldn't stand still.

Seeing that he was about to fall forward again, Lucifer quickly stretched out his hand and took him back into his arms.

He really didn't understand this human being, he was playing with him yesterday to the point of crying and moaning, looking ashamed and angry, still unwilling to let go of begging him.

But it's strange to say that the more the little priest cried, the more I wanted to bully him, and the more I bullied him, the more he refused to give in. Even though he was tortured by desire, he was still steadfast and unyielding, his resolute expression was unbelievably beautiful, Even more frustrating.

But Arthur didn't know that he looked so pitiful, which would only arouse the devil's sadistic heart, and wanted to ravage him, so in the end, Lucifer completely forgot to be merciful, and played the man until he lost consciousness.

Seeing the little priest fainting in his arms, Lucifer realized how fragile human beings are, and Arthur just persevered with willpower.

So he panicked, that was the first time he had the feeling of "fear of losing" since he fell into heaven.He was afraid that the little priest would stay awake like this, and that it would not be fun if the game was forced to stop, so he found his younger brother Raphael, who had been in touch with him all the time, and asked him, as a healing angel, to replace the little priest. treat.

The problem is that the human body cannot bear too much divine power, especially Arthur's body is already weak enough. If he uses divine power to heal rashly, he may be dissipated before he wakes up. Therefore, he had to follow Raphael's instructions and use the most suitable method. Taking care of Arthur in a "human" way.

In order to reduce his fever, he endured his breath, obeyed Raphael's instructions, and personally went back and forth to the back mountain and the health room to fetch water several times, so as to keep the spring water cool and clean, and then carefully wiped Arthur's body.

Only then did he realize how many scars he had left on this body.

Humans are really fragile.

He began to understand why his father asked them to become the guardian angels of special human beings, because no matter how strong the mind is, as long as they are confined by the body, they will become vulnerable.

"You can't even walk at all." Lucifer's embrace of Arthur became stronger. "I have never seen a human being as stubborn as you. No one who has tasted me can refuse the next time, but you just like to be stubborn."

"I'm not blunt, and you owe me an apology."

"I won't apologize to you."

"Then let me go."

"You can't even walk, where else do you want to go?"

For some reason, Lucifer just didn't want to let him go, especially after hearing Arthur's answer.

"I'm going to Dr. Raphael."

"Raphael?" His brows were almost squeezed together.He has long noticed that Arthur trusts Raphael quite a lot. He is the one who has been taking care of him, but he only wants to rely on Raphael? !

"What do you want him for? He can't help you!"

"I'm not asking him for help, I'm just looking for a place to rest."

"Then stay with me!"

"It's most dangerous to stay with a demon who doesn't admit it's wrong."

"What did you say?! No one will admit their mistakes!"

He roared unbearably, and Arthur, who was yelled by him, was stunned, and then pressed his temple as if he had a headache.

Just when Lucifer was thinking about whether to persuade Arthur in a gentler way, the little priest went limp and fell into his arms, losing consciousness.

◇

It was the melodious melody that was all too familiar to save Arthur from his nightmares several times.

He likes the song "Holy City" very much because it is the first hymn his grandfather taught him to sing. Whenever he feels hardship or pain, he will think of the artistic conception in the lyrics and imagine that he has reached the holy temple in Jerusalem. Indulge in a beautiful dream.

When he visited sick children or took care of students, he sang this song to lull them to sleep.It's just that he never thought that he would also listen to this song while half asleep and half awake.

He knew he was dreaming, but the realistic horror dream repeatedly dragged him back to the scene at that time.

Countless monsters climbed on his body, and watched them lick and bite his whole body until the blood was dripping.He screamed and groaned until his voice was hoarse and his throat hurt like a fire, but he still couldn't stop the endless pain.

But whenever he thinks that he will be torn into pieces and devoured by disgusting and ugly creatures, the beautiful singing will echo in his ears, allowing him to fly away from all pain on the wings of singing.

It was an all-too-familiar melody, but it was sung in an unfamiliar language he had never heard before, but the singer's heavenly voice gave him a feeling of familiarity and peace of mind.

He recognized the owner of the voice.

Surprisingly, he can also sing with such a beautiful voice!that demon...

Arthur opened his eyes, the bright sunlight stinging his eyes.He blinked, after adapting to the strong light, he finally saw himself lying in the health room again.

"I have to report to the school not to give you so much work, how can someone pass out once a day." A teasing laugh rose in my ear, "And it is the same person who sends you here every time, or is it the object of my protest Is that the person right?"

"No...it has nothing to do with him this time..." Seeing that the person next to him was Raphael, although Arthur felt relieved, he was also inexplicably disappointed, because there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he wanted to see the fallen angel singing The expression during the hymn. "By the way, Lu... Where is Mephisto-sensei?"

"Playing with the students outside! Didn't you hear his singing?"

Arthur looked in the direction Raphael pointed, pulled up the shutters of the window, and could clearly see the students on the grass next to the playground surrounded by figures much taller than them, you and I sang the familiar song melody.

The male teacher, who always dresses formally, rarely wears a casual shirt and jeans today, making his casual look even more handsome.The lyrics he sang were in an unfamiliar language that Arthur had heard in his dream. He sang while speaking, and patiently explained the translation to the children.

"Miss Xiaomei's voice is so nice!"

"Sing it to us again!"

The children sang along loudly with great interest. Although the singing was a bit messy, they still tried to figure out the peculiar pronunciation, and then they were amused by their own strange tunes, giggling and fighting together.

Arthur was fascinated by such a harmonious and lively scene. He rubbed his eyes, as if trying to make sure that this was not an extension of a dream.

"That's quite an ancient language! It's also the language closest to the 'Word of God'." Raphael, who was staring at the same picture, sighed, "Not many people remember how to say it now."

Arthur nodded, but what surprised him the most was that Lucifer, the king of demons, taught the children to sing so condescendingly, and when did he become "Mr. Xiaomei"?

"Teacher Xiaomei!" Suddenly, a child jumped on Lucifer's back, and Arthur recognized him as the petite boy in the choir.

This sudden impact caused the demon pretending to be a teacher to pounce forward and almost fell to the ground, losing all his temperament.Seeing that Lucifer was so angry that the corners of his eyes twitched but he didn't dare to get angry, Arthur covered his mouth and tried not to laugh out loud.

"Really, I am Teacher Mephisto, not Teacher Xiaomei. Also, you are very dangerous..."

"Teacher Xiaomei, I want to hug you too!"

Turning a deaf ear to Lucifer's patient explanation, the misnomer spread like an epidemic, and other students started calling him, and even rushed towards him one by one.

In a blink of an eye, the tall and straight handsome teacher had several small hairs hanging on his body. The children who didn't get caught simply hugged his feet and shouted "change me, change me", just as Lucifer was entangled by them and couldn't move At the same time, Sam, who loves to join in the fun, also hugged Brother Huai and rubbed past.

The charming smile seemed to freeze. Lucifer couldn't hide if he wanted to, but he didn't dare to show his disgust clearly.

However, Sam didn't notice the entanglement between the demon and the cat, and still happily asked Lucifer to hug his brother.

"Pfft——" Raphael was the first to burst into laughter. Perhaps it was because Lucifer's distressed expression was too distorted, or maybe it was because his appearance like a Christmas tree covered with decorations was too ridiculous, so he couldn't stop laughing.

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at him...but...hahaha! So he has such a cute side too!"

Seeing him leaning forward and backward laughing, Arthur laughed too.Only then did he discover the weakness of the devil. After all, facing innocent children, even Lucifer, who is good at seduction, can't do anything.

"Ah! It's Father Arthur!" The child with sharp ears heard their laughter, turned around and waved to them. "Come here together! Teacher Xiaomei is teaching us to sing interesting songs!"

"Just say don't call me Teacher Xiaomei."

Lucifer tousled the child's hair, and the children around immediately protested loudly, "Because your name is too long, it's hard to pronounce." Sneaking, peeking at Lucifer's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, as soon as the demon found them staring at him, a little embarrassment flashed across his usually calm face.

He had never seen Lucifer showing such an expression. Suddenly, Arthur felt that this demon was not as scary as he imagined, and could even be said to be childish. Even as Raphael said, it was unexpected...

"Father Arthur, let's sing together!"

"Come on!"

The answer that was ready to come out in the heart was interrupted by the voice calling him, and some children ran directly into the health room and warmly invited him to join.

Seeing that the hospitality was hard to come by, Arthur finally nodded and was immediately dragged towards the courtyard by several hands.

"I really like listening to Father Arthur singing, like an angel!"

"That's right! It's a pity that you haven't sung much recently."

Hearing this, Arthur could only smile wryly.He hadn't been in the mood to sing recently, but his smile froze completely when the children arranged him to sit beside Lucifer.

"Father Arthur, hello." Lucifer, who was always calm and composed, greeted him a little strangely.

Thinking that he might be minding that the picture of him being besieged by children was seen, Arthur didn't intend to poke it, and only nodded to him slightly.

Compared with the children who started singing again, there was only an awkward silence between the two.

In the past, they always fought against each other in the dark where the sun could not reach, and carried out unknown offenses and defenses. Once on the sunny grass, Arthur didn't know how to talk to the devil.

It was Lucifer who broke the silence first, "Did you sleep well?"

"...not very good." After pondering for a while, Arthur decided to tell the truth, but he didn't have the courage to ask Lucifer if he ever sang to comfort him when he was drowsy.

The children asked them to sing together at this time, and Arthur had to let them decide what to sing first, and a group of children began to chirp and discuss again.

"They really listen to you!" Lucifer lowered his voice, there was no sarcasm in his tone, but he seemed to be amazed, and he muttered, "Why don't you listen to me?"

Feeling that he was not hostile, Arthur nodded without hesitation, "Children are very simple creatures, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you stay away from it."

With a low snort, Lucifer stretched his slender limbs, and leaned lazily on the grass, "It's a pity that such a small soul is not yet fully developed, and it's not delicious at all. I like a complete and pure soul, otherwise it must be A sinful and extremely evil soul."

Arthur couldn't help but secretly speculate, is it because he has become a sinful and extremely evil soul that the devil keeps pestering him?

"What are you thinking?"

Lucifer glanced at him, and Arthur naturally didn't intend to confess his thoughts to the devil, so he kept silent.

"You! You are the strangest human being I have ever seen. It seems that no matter how I treat you, I can't pollute you in the slightest. What a frustration."

frustration?Hearing the unexpected words, Arthur blinked his dark eyes in confusion.

Lucifer didn't intend to continue the topic, instead he let out a long sigh, "Compared to these children, they are much easier to understand, they cry and laugh, they can say whatever they want, they can pester me if they want to, they jump up and down, they are happy Live all day."

"Actually...you like them very much, don't you?"

"Yeah, that's why I have nothing to do with them."

Arthur couldn't help chuckling. For the children who couldn't be used as food, Lucifer knew how much they loved him, so he couldn't do anything about them.

Although the demon in front of him has done all kinds of painful things, he is now willing to teach the children to sing and play with them. Maybe...the fallen angel has not completely lost the holy and compassionate angelic heart.

"Really..." Lucifer suddenly poked his head over and stared at him for a long while, "You only smile at me when you mention children and animals."

"I didn't smile at you."

"Don't reject people thousands of miles away! Father Arthur." The handsome devil stared at him with eyes that instantly turned back to emerald green, and just raising the corners of his mouth was enough to seduce people. Accepting my contract, of course, starts with capturing your heart."

"You..." Sure enough, the demon still hasn't forgotten its original purpose.

"However, in order to express my sincerity, I decided to give you back what you left with me."

"Something I forgot?"

"That damn rosary!" Seeing that the children were still arguing about the song, Lucifer changed back to his fake dark brown eyes and shrugged, "When you have nightmares, you seem to be apologizing to someone, saying no Should I lose the rosary, it is an important thing, right?"

It's really important... Arthur was silent, he didn't know if he should confess this to the devil.But he was sure of one more thing—when he fell into a coma again, Lucifer was by his side.

Suddenly, a place seemed to loosen in my heart.

He knew that he must be jealous of evil, let alone have a good impression of the devil, but when he remembered that the other party had always been guarding him, he could no longer simply hate Lucifer.

It was a very strange feeling, a warm, light, indescribable, ungraspable feeling. This was a feeling he had never experienced in 25 years, and he was at a loss.

"Anyway, I'll put it in the greenhouse, come and get it when you have time!" Lucifer suggested with a smile, and Arthur blushed immediately.He didn't dare to step into the greenhouse again, maybe he would put himself in deep danger.

Just as he was worrying about how to get the rosary back, the children had already decided on the repertoire and came back to invite them to sing together.

"It's the Holy City again? Why don't you get tired of singing!" Lucifer, who complained so much, shut his mouth obediently and stopped protesting after hearing that it was because Arthur liked it.

Soon, a gentle and harmonious singing sounded on the grass where the warm sun was shining.

"Last night, I was in a dream. I had a beautiful dream. I dreamed of the ancient capital of Jerusalem..."

It was Arthur's favorite song, the song he wanted to hear most when he was in pain.

"I heard the children singing, singing forever, like the voice of an angel, echoing from heaven..."

At this moment, he felt that he really heard the singing of the angels.Arthur squinted his eyes in bliss, praying that this moment would last forever.

Even if it's only now, he wants to temporarily put aside his identity, forget that the man beside him is the incarnation of a devil, and indulge in the singing.
