Chapter Twenty-Four: The Poor Man Who Has No Place to Return

Central City, Hoag House.

Darkness fell, the stars and moon were dull, and the north wind was raging.

In the room, the thin girl huddled at the head of the bed with a soft pillow in her arms, looking at the foggy window in silence.

"Haven't come back yet......"

Emilia muttered discontentedly.

Today, she and Angelina go together for a bloody night drink. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was dark, Angelina was clamoring to go home.

In the past, this girl was not drunk and did not return to the rhythm, and she would never give up until she was unconscious, but this time she changed her normal behavior, not only pulled Emilia out of the bar early, but also specially told Emilia to be careful on the road and go home early not to wander around, while she herself entered the dark alley with a smile on her own.

Perhaps, she has grown up and become sensible...... Emilia speculated.

But why hasn't the guy come back yet? He hasn't gone to drink.

"It's so slow......"

The feeling of pressure in her chest seemed to ease the uneasiness in her heart, and Emilia took a deep breath, tightened her arms, and pressed her flat chest more firmly against the pillow.

In the silence of the night, the faint sound of firecrackers came from afar, making it impossible for people to sleep peacefully.

"Firecrackers?"

Emilia jumped out of bed, barefoot, and jumped to the window, slowly pulling back the curtains.

The thick frost blocked all the light, and through the window, she could see nothing.

"Nasty. ”

Despite the icy cold wind, Amilia, who was wearing only a single dress, slowly opened the window and poked her head out curiously.

The biting wind whipped up the remnants of snow that had not yet melted, and broke into the warm hut without mercy.

"Hiss......"

Snowflakes fell on Emilia's pale skin, desperately taking away the heat from her, even if it turned into water.

Emilia shuddered, and quickly pulled up the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders. The temperature outside the window made her hesitate.

Biting her lip, she endured the cold, her eyes widened, she stood on tiptoe, and stubbornly looked out, trying to find the source of the sound.

"High Street?"

Emilia thought about it, and the source of the sound seemed to be near the shopping street.

"It's strange, no one set off firecrackers when I left. ”

Emilia slammed the window shut, frowning and thinking,

There are no new shops opening, and it's not a festival worth celebrating, so why do people set off firecrackers in the middle of the night?

"It's weird......"

At this moment, a dazzling pillar of fire rose into the sky, shaking the frost-covered window red.

"What?"

Seeing the firelight in the distance, Emilia scrambled and opened the window again to look out.

The pillar of fire that soared into the sky came and went as fast as it came, and it was short-lived, and it was soon overwhelmed by the darkness that filled the sky, and even the elemental wreckage, which symbolized the flames, was not spared.

"Darkness?"

Even from a distance, the terrifying power of darkness still sent tremors through Amilia's heart.

As a brave man who has been fighting at the forefront of the battle with the demons all year round, she is very familiar with that power.

The darkness that swallows up all light and hope...... That's the power of the Demon King!

"Edward?"

Before Emilia could react, she suddenly noticed that an even more powerful divine aura appeared on the other side of Hogg House.

That, is the direction of the cathedral.

"What the hell is going on?"

Emilia was blinded and leaned her head against the wall, as if she had lost all her strength.

"It's so cold......"

Even if you use the window to block the annoying cold wind outside, and then put a hot stove in the house, you can't warm your frozen heart.

"He's not back yet......"

=================

Central City, commercial street, an alley.

"Master, I didn't expect you to really cry, you are such a coward. ”

"Well, yes, I'm a coward, a self-righteous idiot. Edward replied lightly.

"Ah, master, what's wrong with you? Do you feel pleasured to be insulted like this by the night?"

"Yes, I'm happy, I'm so happy......" Nodding his head without shame, Edward's tone was crazy.

"Oh, yes, master, I didn't expect you to be a masochist, it seems that I need to train you more after the night...... Please do not refuse, because it is the duty of the night to meet all the requirements of the master. ”

"No, I won't refuse. Lying half-dead on the ground, Edward shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "You can do whatever you want to me." ”

"Oh, yes, master, can you please not say such erotic things? Night has no interest in your body, and doesn't want to do anything strange to you. ”

"Oh, that's a pity......" Edward sighed, said in a sad tone.

"Master?" said to Edward with a smile.

"Huh?"

Although her smile made Edward very weak, but now Edward has long since given up everything.

"If Night defeats this bad woman who tries to seduce you with a filthy **, can you promise Night one thing?"

"What's the matter?"

"Hmm...... I haven't thought about it yet. But is it okay, master?" asked the night expressionlessly.

It was not so much a question as a persecution in her tough tone that could not be refuted.

"I—I promise you. ”

Although he knew that what awaited him was a more terrible demand or revenge than a sea of swords and fire, Edward still simply agreed.

"It's a deal. Master, you should know what the price of cheating night will be. ”

"I'm not going to lie to you anymore, night, absolutely not. Edward said.

"Huh?"

Hearing Edward's answer, Night instantly lost his mind, his eyes wide and he couldn't believe his ears.

"Hey, your relationship is really good. The little fox, who had been silent for a long time, finally interrupted their conversation.

There weren't many people who could easily destroy the Flame Blast, and it was clear that the beautiful maid in front of him was one of them.

"Hee-hee, I knew you were going to show up. The little fox shook her big tail happily, pointed to the night and said loudly, "The human maid of the Demon King, the ruthless Moonlit Night Death, my name, I have heard of it many times." ”

"Oh, really?"

Holding the white moon back, the night took a step to the left, completely blocking Edward behind him, squinting his eyes, not daring to relax at all.

At this time, Edward was lying on the ground, his head slightly raised, his eyes slanted as if looking for something.

Although he didn't know if he could see the lace panties under his black skirt from Edward's perspective, he didn't dare to act rashly, or even use the Moon Shadow Step rashly, just stared at the charming fox opposite.

Edward didn't know who the other party was, but Night did.

"I'm so stupid, such a beautiful big sister like you, I should have recognized you a long time ago. Little Fox shook his head helplessly.

Obviously, some parts of her are a whole circle bigger than the night, but she strangely calls the night a big sister.

In this regard, the night is noncommittal.

"Yes, you're stupid. Night replied lukewarmly.

"Hee-hee, your name is Night, isn't it? ”

"Oh, really?"

"Yes, hehe, it's strange, why do you want to help the Demon King do bad things when you're a human being? Come on, let's kill him together and avenge the dead. Do you think it's okay, night?"

"Avenge humanity?" Night pursed her lips disdainfully.

"Why?"

"As a demon, aren't there enough humans who have died at your hands? and now you still say that you want to avenge the human race, ridiculous, really ridiculous, you are even more self-righteous than my scrap wood master. ”

“...... Are you trying to provoke me? Hee-hee, I'm not a child. It's you...... Night, willing to become the plaything of the demon king, you seem to enjoy the life of a slave, huh? Or are you really a slut? Oh, what a pitiful ......"

"Childish. ”

In the face of her taunt, Night just smiled faintly.

"Am I wrong?"

"You're right, Ye enjoys this life. Anyway, the night has its own home, not like you. ”

"What's wrong with me?" the little fox raised his eyebrows with interest.

"You who are secretly hiding in Central City can't find your home. ”

"Hmph, how do you know? ”

"Of course I know ......" the night was full of pity.

She looked back at Edward, who seemed to be dying at any moment, and then at the little fox in front of her, who seemed to be victorious.

"Here, there is no place for you. Because, you are a demon, you do not belong to this land. ”

"So what?"

"So—"

The corners of his mouth were raised, and Night's tone was full of sarcasm and contempt.

"So, the one who deserves to be pitied, you should be right, Angelina. ”
