The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Vivien blinked at Gray and hesitated for a long time before she said, "You...... Are you saying 'thank you' to me?"

"Yes. Gray replied softly.

"Okay, I understand. Do you mean that the paladins won't pay back the favors they owe to the demons? I don't mean to ask you for favors. ”

"But I just said thank you, and nothing else. ”

"You don't have to be afraid that I want you to return the favor, just tell the truth, the demon lord hopes that your existence can split the Holy See and let the Holy See appear on this continent with two different principles. So...... I am responsible for upholding your sacred faith and ensuring that your identity is not revealed. This is my task, and I will not ask you to return the favor to me. ”

"But I'm just saying thank you. ”

"Don't you understand?" Vivien shouted, "I'm telling you that you don't even need to tell me thank you!"

"But I still think I should say thank you......" Gray whispered as he looked at an excited Vivien.

All of a sudden, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Vivien's nose was sore, her eyes were red, and tears fell down her eyes.

The black cats were stunned.

She shrank to the ground like an ordinary little girl, covered her face with her hands, and sobbed.

"What's wrong?" asked Gray in a whisper.

"Don't ask!"

"What's wrong?" asked Gray again.

"I told you that I didn't ask!" Vivien cried, "Don't touch me!"

"Okay. Gray withdrew his outstretched hand and stood quietly, watching Vivien crouch on the ground and sob.

Under the sunset, the wind was blowing gently, and Vivien wiped her tears over and over again, constantly muttering in her mouth: "Bastards, all bastards, bastards......"

Gray put down the black cat he was holding, and craned his neck to look at it carefully.

"Really...... Can't you tell me? You even told me the Demon Lord's plan. ”

"Aren't you mad at me? Vivien asked, choking up.

"Why are you mad at you? You're just trying to get things done. ”

"Then you still thank me?"

"Because you saved me. ”

With a "wow", Vivien pounced on Gray, directly throwing the already shaky Gray to the ground, hugging Gray, crying even harder.

The black cat watching from the side was frightened and began to weigh the pounce, and Gray had to break a few bones.

"I'm homeless...... "Vivien sobbed, "I can't go back to the abyss, I can't go back." The demon lord said that he would protect me if he allowed me to violate the agreement, but ...... But I have to go back to the abyss myself. I can't go back at all. They won't come out and save me...... Demons and angels are the same! Liars! Both are liars! Where there are only one or two angels chasing me, the whole jury is coming! Dozens of angels! They will find me soon! I'm finished!"

"They caught it...... What will happen?"

"They will be sent to the place of judgment, and most likely they will be put to death, and they will be completely destroyed...... Not even the soul will be left. I don't want to die...... Don't want to die ......"

Gray hugged Vivien tightly and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll save you." ”

"You can't save ......"

"If you can't save it, can you not save it?"

Vivien looked up and looked at Gray with teary eyes, "You stupid lich, you can't protect yourself, and you still want to save me?...... four guardian angels are looking for you?"

"That'...... Let's work together to get through this together. ”

Vivien smiled bitterly, "Is the desperate succubus and the paladin working together to overcome the difficulties? ”

"The Paladin's civil war, he was injured by his own robe, but he was rescued by a succubus, doesn't this sound like a bad drama?"

"And is your sacred faith still there?"

"In. ”

"The Holy Spirit has not come to save you, and the Holy See has done this to you, why do you hold on to it?"

Touching Vivien's head, Gray whispered, "Faith is our own, why should we give up our own things because of the fault of others? I hold on to my faith just because I feel like it's right. ”

"Shall I hold on to my faith with you, then?" asked Vivien, wiping tears from her eyes.

"You want to embrace the Divine Faith?"

"What if...... I mean if. Vivien sobbed and said, "If I can become a saint like you, maybe the Angelic Jury will spare me......"

Gray straightened Vivien, sat up himself, bowed his head and prayed reverently: "My lord, your paladin Gray, hereby pray to you sincerely that I will forgive all the sins committed by Vivien, the succubus, and I will always watch over her until she becomes a saint." Albeit...... Although my authority may not be able to forgive, I am willing to do so. If you have to be judged, I'll bear her punishment. ”

After praying, Gray reverently drew a cross on his chest.

Vivien stared blankly at Gray, "Probably...... will die. ”

"I know that lichs are not afraid of death, and knights are not afraid of sacrifice. And I'm both. ”

With a "wow", Vivien hugged Gray and cried even harder.

"What's wrong with you?"

"You're so nice to me, I'm a little unused to ......"

"You'll get used to it slowly. ”

"But I don't want to get used to it......"

Vivien was crying so much that she couldn't breathe.

The black cat crouched to the side and sighed helplessly.

......

The wind was blowing softly, and the leaves in the woods rustled.

At night, Gray lit a fire in the cave, stuck it with a branch, and roasted the fish he had just caught. Vivien curled up on her knees, her head bowed.

"Would you like some fish?" Gray asked Vivien.

"Hey, that's my fish! I haven't eaten fish in a long time!" the black cat quickly shouted.

"I'll bake it for you later, and there's a lot more, you can't finish it. ”

The black cat glared at Gray with a look of indignation.

"I don't eat it, succubi can not eat these things. Vivien replied quietly.

Gray held the grilled fish in his hand and persuaded again: "Maybe you will be in a better mood if you eat something, after all, the black cat is in a good mood every time he finishes eating." ”

"I don't want to eat. Vivien pouted and replied, "I'm going to stay in shape." ”

"Actually, I'm envious of you guys who can eat, they all say taste, but I don't have taste in my magical perception. I couldn't eat. ”

Looking at Gray, Vivien finally stretched out a hand: "Okay, look at your pitiful, I promised you." Just eat one. ”

"Hmm. Gray reached out and handed the fish over.

The dim red light of the fire peeked out of the cave, and from a distance, it looked like a lonely star falling in the dark mountains.

In the distance, two angels in the sky with flapping wings were quietly watching in their direction. One of them was Abbed, the male angel who had been on a mission with Catherine to spy on Gray.

"Found it. ”

"But the problem is that the two of them are together...... What should we do? If we capture Vivien, Gray will probably stop it. Abold whispered.

The other angel thought for a moment and replied, "Perhaps we can tell Julian that they are looking for Paladin Gray." If they take Gray away, no one will stop us. ”

"Are you kidding? Gray's affairs, the Holy Spirit does not allow anyone to interfere. ”

"Is it meddler to leak a little bit of information?"

"Doesn't it count?"

"Well, I'm just making a suggestion. Don't get excited. The angel spread his hands and said, "There is really no way, then I have to tell the presiding judge." It's crazy, our own paladins fought a civil war between themselves, and one of them was defeated and saved by a succubus. ”

Looking at the other angel, Abdor asked, "Who do you think is right?"

"What, who's right?"

"I ask you, both sides of the Paladin's Civil War, who do you think is right. ”

"You're asking the wrong person, I'm from the Inquisition. I won't judge who is right until there is a resolution. Yes, it should be up to the presiding judge. ”

Listening to this leaky official words, Ai Bode's temper came up, and he shouted: "What so much nonsense? I'll ask you your personal feelings, who is right!"

"Personal feelings?"

"Yes, no responsible statement. ”

After thinking about it, the angel touched his chin and said, "I think this is a bad debt." You brought this Gray back with Catherine, right? a lich as a paladin, which may have been a mistake in the first place. This is still a lich who worships absolute light, so the problem is even greater. I feel that the Holy Spirit is embarrassment of the Holy See. They didn't know what to do with the new paladin, and the new paladin didn't know how to back off. Collisions with each other are inevitable. I was only surprised by Julian, how could they support such a collision...... It's incredible. Well, that's what I thought. ”

"So you're a supporter of the Holy See?" Abded asked.

"No, I will not support the Holy See. We all know what the Holy See is like. Faith is almost distorted by them. The angel spread his hands and said, "I think it's good for the Holy Spirit to embarrass them, and they have something to do, so as not to be full and hold on." ”

"It's the same as if you didn't say it. ”

"Then you don't say it, I'm just in charge of chasing fugitives, and the trial is not in my hands. By the way, you're only seconded because you know Gray. ”

Ebald sighed, speechless, continuing to stare in the direction where Gray and Vivien were.

"You're staring here, I'll inform the presiding judge. ”

"I thought you'd bring up that you were staring here, and then I'd go inform the presiding judge. ”

"Why?"

"So you can let them go. ”

Glancing at the angel, Abbed whispered, "I wouldn't do such a thing. If I had done such a thing, it wouldn't have been Catherine who became his guardian angel in the first place. If I become his guardian angel, he won't lose this battle. ”

With that, Ebord turned, flapping his wings and disappearing into the starry sky.
