69: Gari Here Is Done For~
"Um... that is, Lord Big Sister, please listen to my defense... no... listen to my explanation..."
Gabriel slowly turned her head with a pale face. What came into view was Mikali's gentle, kind smile. However, even though her sister's smile was so sunny and warm, in Gabriel's eyes right now, there was only endless coldness and terror.
As sisters who had been together for thousands of years, Gabriel knew her sister all too well! Don't let that beautiful, moving smile fool you. The true horror behind it could only be understood by someone like her who had achieved "Level 10 Proficiency in Mikali's Smiling Language."
"Oh? My adorable little sister, how would you like to explain?"
Oh no. She was caught red-handed. There was no way to defend herself... no! Explain!
She could only try her best to struggle one last time.
"Um... Little Amya is still here... Lord Big Sister... save me some face..."
"You mean Little Amya? That child flew out of here like a little rabbit the moment I came in~"
"What!?"
Gabriel hurriedly turned her head to look in the direction where Amya had been. At this moment, Amya, who should have been lying on the beanbag chair with a helpless expression, had long since vanished without a trace. She had even left a small note on the sofa!
"Sorry Teacher, your student suddenly remembered there's pasta cooking at home. If I don't go back, it'll get all clumpy. Taking my leave now!"
"..."
"See, Little Li~ Now it's just us two sisters~ So there's no question of losing face or not~ And next up... it's time for Lord Big Sister's loving education~"
Gabriel felt like a giant "DANGER" sign had appeared above her head. A fatal pressure loomed over her, and even her bottom started to ache faintly.
"Wait!"
To be honest, if this were Gabriel from before her descent to the mortal world, facing this unsolvable dead end, she would have just accepted her fate. At most, she would have prepared some ointment for her little butt in advance, then silently cursed Mikali with thousands upon thousands of tiny circles in her heart.
But now, everything was different! She, Gabriel, was an angel with a trump card now! She believed that as long as she brought out "that," she could easily defeat even her sister!
Because only that thing was something that even Mikali, the Angel Lord, absolutely could not refuse!
"Lord Big Sister! Let's make a deal, okay? I'll give you this, and you let me off the hook!"
As she spoke, Gabriel took out her "secret weapon." A photo of a certain demon she had obtained from Lucifer.
"This is..."
Just as expected, the moment Mikali saw the girl in the photo, she froze in place just as Gabriel had anticipated. Her eyes shifted from the playful look of someone planning to properly discipline her sister to shock, and then to endless tenderness.
"Alright, I agree."
"Hooray! I survived!!!"
"But... Little Li, shouldn't you explain to me properly where you got these things?" Mikali's voice drifted over.
"Hmm? I got them from Fafa. Why do you ask?" Gabriel tilted her head, not quite understanding the purpose of her sister's question.
"Oh? You got them from Lucifer... But didn't I remember specifically telling you before you went down to the mortal world this time to come back immediately after finishing the trouble, and not to linger down there?"
"Eh!? W-well, that's..."
"And... where exactly did you meet Lucifer? After completing the task I assigned you, did you go off and secretly play with that guy for half a day? My dear... little sister?"
"Gulp..."
Watching her sister's kind smile drawing closer and closer, Gabriel finally experienced firsthand what it meant to go from joy to sorrow, and to outsmart oneself.
Gari here is done for...
(ó﹏ò｡)
......
Meanwhile, our angel miss Amya, whose "pasta was cooking at home," did not choose to return directly to her small residence in Heaven. Instead, she traveled nonstop from Heaven back to the mortal world.
"Haha, I clearly hinted to Teacher over and over that Lord Mikali was outside the room. Did she really think I would repeatedly remind her to watch her image for no reason? She really brought this on herself~"
Amya had long grown accustomed to her teacher's childlike personality. Over the past two years, she had witnessed Lord Mikali disciplining her teacher more than once. Therefore, she could state with absolute certainty that Gabriel's bottom was definitely not going to survive this time.
As for whatever "anti-sister weapon" Gabriel had mentioned, Amya remained completely skeptical.
After all, she was always this confident and swore victory before every beating.
The note Amya left behind was also just an excuse to justify her escape. In reality, she had moved everything useful from her room when she moved into the apartment to live with Evelia. So now, aside from a large bed for sleeping, her room in Heaven could be said to have absolutely nothing in it.
But since Evelia had been mentioned, Amya had something to say about that.
Originally, returning to Heaven was not part of Amya's schedule for this monthly holiday. Her plan was to take advantage of this rare break to properly "build up the relationship" with Evelia and complete her conquest of the Demon Miss as soon as possible. She had even formulated a quite perfect "date" plan for this! But when she excitedly ran over to invite Evelia to go out together during the holiday, she was directly shut down with the words "I'm going back to Hell for the break."
Poor her. The plan she had spent three entire history classes formulating had died in the womb before she could even make preparations.
Sister Jiang, I have failed you!!!
So to prevent the atmosphere from becoming too awkward at the time, Amya simply told Evelia that she also planned to return to Heaven for the holiday.
What happened after that probably doesn't need much elaboration.
"Hiss... but thinking about it this way... doesn't that count as me screwing Teacher over?"
After all, if she hadn't brought so many mortal world "souvenirs" for Gabriel when she returned to Heaven, Gabriel probably wouldn't have had to receive that education...
"Oh well. Teacher has a good mentality anyway. She forgets all about the beatings she received in the morning by evening!"
Gabriel: Are you being polite?
Now, some might ask, since Evelia had already returned to Hell and only Amya remained in the rental apartment, why didn't she just stay in Heaven instead of going through all the trouble of returning to the mortal world?
Good question.
The answer, of course, was... Amya also needed to go home and visit her parents!
And it was the home from her past life, when she was still human.
