67: Diverting the Disaster
"Old... old dad... it's really not what you think... it's just..."
At this critical moment, a perfect idea suddenly popped into Evelia's mind. It could solve the current crisis and divert the disaster elsewhere, giving her a chance to vent her anger!
This method was... finding a "scapegoat."
"Just what? Did someone bully you!?"
"Mm... before, there was a black-robed pervert who claimed to be from the Descent Faction. He not only secretly stalked me... but also sneak-attacked me when my guard was down! He said he wanted to kill me to obtain my body and soul... And although that big baddie didn't succeed, he still injured my leg... It hurt for several days."
"!"
Perfect. Watching her dad's rage meter skyrocket, Evelia knew her plan had succeeded.
She just needed to make an issue out of that black-robed pervert's sneak attack that had injured her. This would divert Dad's attention while throwing all the blame onto the entire Descent Faction. Why not go for it?
"I (Hell profanity)
! I originally thought those Descent Faction worms couldn't accomplish anything and decided to spare them for now. But damn it, they actually dared to target My precious daughter!? Leviathan! Gather the Seven Demon Kings and the Lord of Hells for Me! It's time to have a proper meeting! These detestable worms, I will make them pay!!!""..."
"Leviathan?"
Seeing that Leviathan, standing to the side, showed absolutely no reaction to his words, Satan looked at her in confusion. Her head was slightly lowered, with deep blue strands of hair hanging over her eyes. Her breathing was steady and peaceful, and she even let out cute little "mmu" sounds from time to time.
"Big Sister Leviathan?"
Evelia also noticed that Leviathan's state was a bit strange at this moment. She tentatively poked the other's cheek with a stick she had picked up at some point. The result was... absolutely no response...
"..." x2
Wow, as expected of Big Sister Leviathan. She could fall asleep even while standing, and so peacefully at that. I am impressed!
Evelia silently admired Big Sister Leviathan's special ability to fall asleep anytime, anywhere. Meanwhile, Satan rubbed his forehead with a look of helplessness and reached out without hesitation to pluck the largest ahoge from the top of Leviathan's head.
"!!!"
Like a robot that had just been connected to power, Leviathan's head instantly snapped up. Her sea-blue eyes flashed with a trace of anger and killing intent. However, after seeing that her ahoge was in Satan's hand, the killing intent in her eyes instantly evaporated, replaced by a look of intense grievance.
"Typhon-phon... Boss, why did you pluck my ahoge? Give it back!"
"Who told you to fall asleep again... Waking you up isn't an easy task. This special method was something Lucifer figured out."
Fafa?
Heh, damn traitor! Just wait until I wake up. I'll personally...
Leviathan took back her ahoge and silently blessed Lucifer with good health in her heart. She carefully reinserted the ahoge into the top of her head. Seemingly worried that it wasn't inserted properly, she even gave it a few gentle tugs to confirm that the ahoge was fully installed before relaxing.
Satan watched this scene with an expression that was clearly used to it. But Evelia was different. This was her first time seeing a removable ahoge like this! And plucking an ahoge like this... it looked like so much fun! She had never tried plucking her own ahoge because she was afraid of pain. She had never plucked Amya's ahoge either because she was worried that doing so would give the other girl an excuse to push her down. But since Big Sister Leviathan's ahoge was this removable kind, could she...
Evelia: Looking at prey eyes.jpg (✪ω✪)
Leviathan: ??? Please don't look at the hair on my head like that, precious niece. I'm scared.jpg ヾ(>Д<;)
"Um... precious daughter, your Aunt Leviathan's hair isn't something you can just pluck whenever you want. It's basically the same as a dragon's reverse scale... Be good~ Let's find something else to play with."
As Evelia's father, Satan could tell what she wanted to do just from that longing look in her eyes... But as he said, Leviathan's hair wasn't something that could be plucked casually. Normally, anyone who plucked it would go into a berserk rage.
Back in the day, Berial, out of boredom, once tried to pluck a hair from Leviathan's head. Then our illustrious Great Demon God Pillar of Hell was chased all over Hell by an enraged Leviathan. In the end, he was beaten black and blue and still had to be mocked by Satan and the other Seven Demon Kings. Since then, let alone in Hell, there were few people in all the Three Realms who dared to target Leviathan's ahoge.
As for why it was "few people" rather than "no one"... That was because back when Leviathan hadn't yet fallen to Hell, Mikali frequently plucked her ahoge for fun... It nearly gave Leviathan psychological trauma.
Satan even had reason to suspect that when Leviathan followed Lucifer in falling from Heaven, at least half of the reason was to get away from Mikali.
Um, of course, back in the day, he himself had plucked it quite a few times too. But still, definitely fewer times than Mikali.
To be honest, if Leviathan had an ability like Mammon's to hear people's inner thoughts, after hearing Satan's inner monologue right now, she would probably be so angered that she'd return to the magma sea to sleep for at least a hundred years.
Listen to this! Is this even human speech!?
"Cough cough. So, precious daughter, let's find something else to play with for now, okay? Dad has noted the matter about the Descent Faction bullying you. I'll make them pay within these two days! Right now, let's go find Cerberus to play, okay?"
Satan carried Evelia away in a manner of coaxing a child, leaving only Leviathan alone, clutching her ahoge and swaying in Hell's scorching wind.
"My hair... in danger..."
"Pfft! But looking at it this way, Little Eve really does resemble her, doesn't she?"
At the same time, several pitch-black feathers slowly drifted down. Lucifer's figure appeared beside Leviathan, smiling as he watched Evelia and Satan's figures gradually disappear from view.
"Traitor Fafa, too much!"
"Cough cough. Blame me? Who told you to sleep anytime, anywhere without caring about the occasion? You're not even Sloth."
"Hmph!"
『Leviathan let out a very cool hmph.』
"By the way, Fafa, didn't you go on a date with Little Li? How did it go? Did you take the opportunity to confess?"
"??? What are you talking about, Leviathan? What date? I just happened to run into her while helping Little Eve deal with some trouble."
"And then you accompanied her shopping for most of the day and ate candy she had already started eating?"
"Who told you that? You can't just say things like that. If Big Sister found out, I'd be in serious trouble."
"It was that guy Berial. Don't forget about his ability."
"Alright, I got it. I'm going to silence him now."
"???"
