fallen Angel

It has been three days since the last time I passed this grassland.

Arthur still misses the singing he heard that day. Just as he was trying to relive the beauty of that time, the screams from the playground interrupted his memory.

"Teacher Xiaomei is so handsome!"

"Come on! Teacher Xiaomei, you are awesome!"

Although the sky was getting dark, the high-decibel cheering voices of the girls still added more vitality to the lively fencing competition. However, the object of their enthusiastic encouragement was not their classmates, but the substitute theology teacher who was in the friendly competition of the teacher group.

"Hey! You girls, you don't even cheer for your class teacher, it's too much!" Curtis, who was retreating steadily, complained loudly, while waving his sword to block the opponent's attack.

Demon King Lucifer's swordsmanship is naturally impossible to lose to ordinary humans, even though he deliberately showed mercy to prolong the game, he still easily pushed Curtis into the corner.

The onlookers laughed and teased the instructor to work harder so as not to lose too badly.

Seeing that the momentum of the competition and cheering was one-sided, Arthur thought to himself, his friend is now in a tough fight.But at the same time, he also remembered that at some point in time, the majestic king of demons accepted the title of "Mr. Xiaomei".

"Ah, Father Arthur is here!" Several sharp-eyed children noticed his arrival and rushed to call him, causing a small commotion.

As soon as Curtis on the field heard that he was coming, he quickly turned around to scan his tracks, a smile appeared on his anxious face, as if he had finally waited for the only person who was willing to cheer for him.

In order to live up to his expectations, Arthur waved to him and cheered, which really made him laugh.

But with this distraction, the opponent's sword hit the protective gear on his chest, making a crisp sound, which also announced the end of the game.

The moment the outcome was decided, there was an uproar on the sidelines.

"Mr. Curtis! Why are you so busy saying hello to Father Arthur!"

"Didn't you often teach us to concentrate on doing things? But you are looking around!"

The students who were cheering for Lucifer just now slumped their shoulders in disappointment.Knowing that the children still hoped that the class teacher would win, even though he lost, Curtis still smiled brightly as if he had won the championship.

On the other hand, Lucifer, who won, didn't have a trace of joy on his face, and he remained sullen and didn't say a word.

Arthur tried to figure out the reason for the demon's displeasure. Did he think the game was too simple and boring?Or do you find that the children are still a little lonely towards the class teacher in their hearts?

"Meow——" There was a small cat meow at his feet, even if he didn't bow his head, he knew who it was.

"Is it just you? Where's Sammy?" Arthur picked up his younger brother, who was lingering at his feet, and asked the little white cat who would not answer him, "Did you leave him and run around by himself again, so that he couldn't find him?" you?"

He looked around and did not see Sam.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for this lively kid to miss the annual fencing competition, and the choir practice was also suspended to match the competition.Or was he not interested in the recreational teacher competition after watching the official student competition?

Suddenly there was a wave of drumming and cheering on the field, Arthur came back to his senses, and saw several students jumping on the field and began to besiege Lucifer, saying that they wanted to avenge the defeated mentors, but their faces showed With a mischievous smile, he was obviously playing tricks on the substitute teacher.

Lucifer accepted the challenge with his sword saluted gracefully, and his elegant posture immediately caused the girls to scream.

Compared with his calmness, the students whose skills were still very jerky just thought it was a game and started to make random moves, which made Arthur break out in cold sweat.

Although the swords are used for practice in school competitions, if you accidentally hit the eyes or fragile organs, it will still cause a lot of damage.

But he gradually realized that his worries were unnecessary, because Lucifer was very cautious in dealing with every attack, avoiding hurting the children, and at the same time tried his best to maintain his dignity. If you are a child, just ignore it.

Seeing that they couldn't attack for a long time, the students finally put down their swords altogether, and rushed towards him laughing one by one, as if they knew the weakness of this handsome teacher.

"Again! You are so treacherous!" Seeing Lucifer trying to grab the child off his back, but unable to do anything, Arthur also laughed heartily with the people around him.

Compared to the cold and arrogant demon king, Lucifer, who is troubled by children's pranks, seems a little... cuter for some reason?

"No, he's not cute! I must have fallen asleep, don't you think so?" Arthur sat down on a bench next to the playground, and whispered to the little white cat in his arms.

But Huai only yawned, hid his little face in his arms, and ignored him.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Lucifer, who has always refused to participate in student activities, often appears in activities or competitions recently.

He remembered that the devil once said - I will start by capturing your heart.Is this also one of the means to attract his attention?

The mood became bitter, and Arthur didn't know how he should look at this matter, he only knew that he had complicated thoughts about the existence of Lucifer.

The demon had defiled himself, he had saved himself, and he declared that he had no intention of doing anything to the children.

In the past few days, he has thought a lot, and has been struggling whether to expose Lucifer's true face to the teachers and students in the school, but whenever he sees the children excitedly circling around him and mingling with him, he can't say anything.Especially the children in the choir are very fond of Lucifer, who has a clear singing voice, and pester him to learn ancient hymns whenever they have the opportunity. When Lucifer gets along with the children, the natural joy that Lucifer reveals cannot be faked.

Therefore, Arthur neither has the heart to destroy the children's expectations, nor does he want to give up hope...a hope that the devil still has the heart of an angel, and that the fallen angels still have the possibility of regaining love.

But he also knows that he should not listen to the devil's words completely, because the devil will confuse people's hearts with words that seem to be true and false, and people will be deceived without being able to tell the truth from the false.

"Oh, that person is the Great Demon King!"

Arthur was stunned by the sudden sigh, and when he looked back, he saw his friend sitting beside him, feeling emotional.

"Mr. Mephisto is too powerful. I can't beat him no matter what, and he can defeat a few people to challenge him. He is so strong that he is not human."

Because he was the real Demon Lord.

Arthur smiled wryly and remained silent, but the turmoil on the field had subsided. Lucifer, who was a winning streak, managed to get rid of the students who had made a fuss and was ready to accept the challenge from the next teacher.

I remember that this teacher's swordsmanship is the best among all teachers, so he served as the finale, and he did not live up to everyone's expectations. His superb swordsmanship made Lucifer's eyes serious.

After saluting gracefully, Arthur couldn't help but stare blankly at the rapt side profile.

"By the way, weren't you inquiring about Dean before?"

Curtis' words drew his attention back, Arthur looked back awkwardly, and secretly scolded himself for being confused by the demon's appearance. "Yeah, I've been trying to contact Dean's family for the past few days, but I can't find anything."

"I already got in touch with them yesterday. Dean will go home temporarily, it's fine."

"So that's the case, that's good." The big stone in his heart was finally put down, and Arthur heaved a sigh of relief.

But he suddenly remembered the key engraved with the eagle pattern. After he picked it up in Dean's bedroom, he kept it in his pocket, and wanted to return it to him the next time he met him.So far, he still doesn't know the function of that key, and he can't even confirm whether it is the key of Dean's house...

Suddenly, there was thunderous cheers on the playground, which attracted their attention.

Arthur looked along the noise, the sky was completely dark, and the lights next to the playground were brightened instantly.Standing in the middle of the playground, the tall figure seemed to be bathed in white glory, raising his hands to accept the cheers, from his fingertips to his straight and elegant back, all showing the proud posture of a winner.

It seems that Lucifer defeated his opponent much faster than he imagined.

"As expected, the Great Demon King won, and he really lived up to everyone's expectations!"

Arthur did not miss the sourness in Curtis's tone, and comforted him softly, "Curtis, you know, the children in your class still support you."

"I understand! What about you?"

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Arthur was at a loss for words when he was asked in such a way, but Curtis looked very serious, not at all joking.

"If it were you, me and him, who would you want to win?"

"Curtis? Why did you suddenly..."

"It's not sudden. In fact, I've wanted to ask you for a long time. You and Mr. Mephistopheles..."

"Sorry for the interruption." A deep voice broke into the room between the two, abruptly interrupting their conversation.

With a charming smile on his face, Lucifer ignored Curtis's ugly face, and put his arms around Arthur's shoulders, even if he was pushed away, he persevered to put on him again, "Can you give me Father Arthur? "

"I'm talking to him." Curtis put away his friendly smile and retorted not to be outdone.

"Really? But I also have important things to discuss with him, like the greenhouse..."

"Mr. Mephisto!" Arthur hurriedly covered Lucifer's mouth, unaware that the interaction between the two seemed too intimate in the eyes of others. "Do you have to talk about... about that kind of thing here?"

"Hehe, sorry, I forgot this is our secret." Having said that, there was no apology in Lucifer's tone.

Curtis had a cold face, as if he wanted to say something, but Lucifer pointed behind him and reminded: "And Teacher Curtis, Lilith has been calling you! Is it okay to ignore her?"

"Mr. Curtis!"

As soon as the words came to an end, Lilith's shrill roar came from not far away, and then people rushed to Curtis, scolding him why he didn't gather the students to get ready to leave school.

"Your class is the only one left, everyone is waiting for you!"

"Okay! Got it!" Curtis was dragged away by the fierce Lilith before he could say anything.

Not long after, the lively playground gradually lost the laughter of the students amid the sound of farewell, and became silent.

Lucifer naturally took Curtis' place, sat directly beside Arthur, and stretched.

Looking at the empty playground, Arthur realized that now he was left alone with the devil who was staring at him, and couldn't help fidgeting.

When he was thinking about how to say that he wanted to leave, Lucifer seemed to see through his mind and asked him to stay, "Just sit with me! Accepting challenges all the time is really tiring."

"Hmm... You said you have something to discuss with me?"

"That's an excuse, I just want to be alone with you."

Compared to Lucifer's relaxed attitude, Arthur's heart beat so violently that it almost jumped out of his chest.Whenever he heard such flattering words from the mouth of the handsome devil, he would be so flustered that he couldn't control himself.

"You look so delicious recently, I have to protect you from time to time, lest you be attacked by other guys who don't understand the situation, other demons are not as patient as I am."

"tasty?"

"As I said, the devil's body fluids are very powerful. You probably have to bear this sexy face for a while! I didn't look at you for a while, and you started attracting bees and butterflies again."

"Attracting bees and butterflies?"

"You talk when you talk, what are you doing so close? Are you acting on purpose for me?"

Regarding Lucifer's complaint, Arthur didn't realize it a few seconds later, and then blushed, "I was just chatting with Curtis, so you were upset about this just now..."

"Can't you? I hate other people coveting my prey. Those little ghosts who stalk you also make me angry. Fortunately, I still like them, so I don't care about them."

Lucifer readily admitted, but seriously complained about his expression, which reminded Arthur that there seemed to be a word to describe this situation...

"But my lord can't do it. If you get too close to other men, I can't guarantee that you won't ask the female night demon to visit them. Let's absorb their excess energy first. So you stay away from them to avoid harming others." Harm yourself."

Hearing Lucifer's arrogant warning, Arthur finally remembered that the word was "jealousy", a word that should have nothing to do with the aloof demon king...

The turmoil in my heart started rampant again.Arthur lowered his gaze, and suddenly didn't dare to look directly at this stupid but still charming demon, he whispered, "Curtis and I are good friends, we only care about each other as friends."

"If you think so, he may not be..."

"What?" Arthur couldn't hear Lucifer's almost inaudible whisper, but he only got the answer of "nothing", feeling a little unwilling.

"You're still talking about me, didn't you say you wouldn't attack others? Why do you still provoke Teacher Lilith?"

He even called her by her first name so intimately that she didn't even add the word "teacher".But Arthur didn't say it, so as not to show that he cared...although, he kind of cared.

"Oh? She's just a pawn I used to attract your attention. Before we reached the greenhouse that day, I said we had something to break up."

"what?"

"Of course I knew she had a crush on me, so I took advantage of it. But when I told her that there was someone I liked, she simply gave up on me."

"The person you like?" Arthur raised his head in confusion, but when he met Lucifer's gaze, his chest choked.Even now disguised as brown pupils, those deep eyes can still make people's hearts flutter, "Could it be...you mean...me?"

Lucifer's expression seemed to say "otherwise who else", "She said that if it were you, she would support me unconditionally, because this would be a bitter love that would not be reciprocated. Should I say that she is a good woman? Or should I say that you human women are more scheming than demons?"

Arthur finally understood why Lilith would call Curtis away so excitedly when Lucifer got in between him and Curtis. It seemed that this was her way of supporting Lucifer and removing obstacles for him.

"But... you lied again..." Arthur felt inexplicably sad when he said this conclusion, "You don't really like me..."

"Devils are creatures who are accustomed to lying and deceiving, but if I really want to say it, I really like you. You are the most interesting human being I have ever seen, and you are very tempting."

No, there is a big difference between this "like" and the "like" I refer to.

Arthur didn't know how to explain such a complicated state of mind, and he didn't know whether to clarify to Lucifer, only a dull pain stuck in his chest.

At this time, the little white cat, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, woke up. As soon as it realized Lucifer's existence, it immediately broke away from Arthur's arms and seemed to want to run away.But after walking a few steps, it stopped as if remembering something, and Arthur could almost feel that it was going through a battle between heaven and man.

In the end, Brother White decided to stay at Arthur's feet, with his white fur and tail erect, staring at the two of them with guarded eyes.Similarly, Lucifer, who saw that it didn't intend to leave, also showed a displeased expression.

"What's the matter with this stinky cat? It's not cute at all."

"It's easier for animals to see the essence of things than humans. It should have noticed your true identity a long time ago." Arthur lovingly stroked White's upside-down fur to calm his anxiety.

Unable to understand the way he doted on the kitten, Lucifer gave Brother Huai a sharp look, and the kitten immediately shrank behind Arthur's feet, trembling with fright, but still insisted on refusing to leave.

Brother Huai's pitiful appearance aroused Arthur's dissatisfaction, "Don't scare small animals that have no resistance, bullying is a very bad behavior."

"You are very gentle with children or animals, but you are not friendly with me."

"Because you are a demon!" The wise and strong demon king does not need his own pity and protection.

"Then I'll be a cat too..."

Hearing his muttering, Arthur couldn't help laughing, thinking of the handsome face with fluffy cat ears, the funny picture made him almost unable to hold back his laughter, and felt that Lucifer, who wanted to become the most annoying cat in order to win favor , so cute——

No, why did I have such absurd thoughts about demons?

"No...not cute at all..."

"What? As long as I want to, turning into any cute animal is just a trivial skill." Misunderstanding Arthur's whisper, Lucifer frowned unwillingly.

"Or do you prefer children? It's not difficult for me to be a little boy or a little girl. I can even learn the voice so well that you can't recognize it at all."

Perhaps the appearance and voice can be changed, but Arthur knows that a noble and arrogant demon cannot conceal his innate unique temperament. When he thinks of a pink and petite child, he declares to him in a childish voice, "I will let you You are corrupt," Arthur couldn't help laughing anymore.

"Ah, really!" Lucifer gasped impatiently.

Arthur stopped laughing immediately, realizing that he might offend the demon king with extremely high self-esteem. Sure enough, the next moment he was pushed down on the bench, and the opponent's strong body firmly suppressed him.

"It's unbearable, why do you look so beautiful when you smile?" Lucifer licked his sexy lower lip and added, "Harm" I'm all excited."

"Excited, excited? Wait...you...what are you going to do?!"

As if hearing some horror story, Arthur frantically swung his limbs, trying to push Lucifer away, but the hot palm had already moved up his thigh, pinching his buttocks.

Arthur screamed, regretting that he had underestimated the devil's inferiority and let his guard down, but it was too late.

"Stop! Why are you in heat all the time?"

Although it was dark and there was no one around the playground, someone could pass by at any time.

"It's what you said, because I'm a devil." Lucifer, who returned it untouched, smiled slyly. "It's not bad to do it here. From now on, when you pass the playground, you will often think of the good memories you have with me."

"I don't want it! Let me go!"

Regardless of his resistance, Lucifer easily restrained his movements with one hand and touched his chest with the other.

Afraid that the other party would feel his strong heartbeat, Arthur desperately wanted to pull Lucifer's hand away, and happened to catch a glimpse of Brother Huai who was wandering anxiously aside, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, reached out his hand, and picked up the little white cat to block between the two of them. .

Unexpectedly, he would use the animal he hated the most as a shield. This sudden move even Lucifer was stunned, and his hands naturally stopped moving.

Arthur didn't expect this trick to be effective, he blinked his dark eyes at a loss, and looked at Lucifer for a while, relatively speechless.

After a long blank, the first to break the silence was Lucifer who chuckled.

"You..." With a charming smile, Lucifer's expression was both loving and funny, bent down, and placed a light kiss on Arthur's lips through the struggling kitten.

Feeling the amazing heat extending from his lips to his whole body, Arthur froze and didn't know what to do.The demon had forced him to experience intense love affairs, but had never kissed him...

"Arthur..." whispered like love words, and Lucifer gently stroked his hot cheek. "you are cute."

The reward for this blushing and heartbeating compliment was a crisp slap.

"Stop teasing me!"

Pushing Lucifer away hard, Arthur didn't dare to look back at the other person's expression, he could only suppress the thunderous heartbeat, picked up Brother Huai and hurried away from the devil.

But what he wants to escape more is actually the cute clumsy Lucifer and himself who is flustered by this kiss.

Therefore, he did not notice at all that in a certain corner, Youdao was staring at them angrily.
