Gabriel nudged Vignette with her elbow and whispered, "Vine, don't you demons have any magic to cure amnesia?"
"We have plenty of destructive magic, but when it comes to healing, isn't that something you angels are better at with your divine magic?"
"That's true, but there's nothing specifically for amnesia. Most of it is just general healing or detoxification."
"Why don't you try a healing spell first?"
Gabriel took two steps before Vignette pulled her back, looking grave. "Satania doesn't seem to remember that she's a demon. If you use divine magic right in front of her, wouldn't that violate the rule about not revealing the existence of angels and demons to unknowing humans?"
"What you're saying makes sense. Maybe we should think of another way?" Gabriel certainly didn't want to break the rules over something like this. She wasn't afraid of a simple punishment, but if her older sister found out and came down to the Human World to check on her, it would be a disaster. That strait-laced sister of hers would one hundred percent drag her back to Heaven to re-educate her on how to be an angel!
"By the way, how exactly did Satania lose her memory?"
"Ah, today she..."
Gabriel roughly explained the sequence of events, only to be met with a speechless retort from Vignette: "So after all that, didn't you cause this yourself, Gab?"
"W-Who knew that idiot demon Satania was so fragile?" Gabriel remained stubborn as a mule, refusing to admit her fault.
"Fine." Vignette didn't have the energy to assign blame right now; helping Satania recover her memory was more important. "Does Jhin have any melon bread at his place? Let's try using Satania's favorite food to see if it triggers any memories."
"I'll go look."
It was only then that Vignette noticed Gabriel's maid outfit. She was full of questions, but given the current situation, it wasn't the right time to ask Gabriel what was up with those clothes, so she suppressed her curiosity for the time being.
Gabriel rummaged through the refrigerator and found a melon bread. After checking the expiration date to confirm it was still good, she walked over to Satania and waved the bread in front of her. "Satania, do you remember this?"
"Mm... I can't recall the name," Satania gulped, stretching her neck out, "but I feel like I really want to eat it."
"This is called melon bread. It's your favorite food. Taste it; maybe you'll remember something."
Satania tore open the plastic packaging and took a bite of the fragrant, golden melon bread. Her eyes went wide, and her entire body froze.
Seeing Satania's reaction, Vignette hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did you remember anything?"
"Mmm, mmm, mmm..." Satania shook her head, answering indistinctly with her mouth full, "No, but this melon bread is so delicious!"
"Looks like this method won't work either. Jhin, you keep Satania emotionally stable for now. Gab and I will keep thinking of a solution."
"Mm."
"Vine!" Gabriel waved at Vignette, pointing to a ranking of amnesia treatments she had found on the internet. "Let's try this."
"Let me see..." Vignette leaned in and read the number one therapy on the list: "'Treat amnesia by striking or hitting the patient's head with the same force used when the memory was lost'?!"
"I think it sounds pretty reliable. Think about it—didn't Satania lose her memory because she got smashed in the head? As long as we do it again..."
Gabriel had long since found the sight of Satania lying in Jhin's arms an eyesore. This treatment ranking was like someone handing her a pillow right when she wanted to nap.
"Isn't that exactly what you suggested earlier? You aren't just picking this ranking to settle a personal vendetta, are you?"
"Then the next one."
"'Stimulate the patient's brain using pungent gases or vegetables like onions'?" Vignette felt this list was unreliable no matter how she looked at it.
Gabriel immediately sprang into action. She took Satania and Jhin into the kitchen and made Satania start cutting onions. The result was Satania crying pearly tears halfway through and acting spoiled with Jhin, which annoyed Gabriel so much she wanted to drag Satania to her front door and let her experience the door-slam-to-the-head treatment again.
After trying many other methods that all ended in failure, Jhin had to personally cook them some delicious food to restore their morale.
After a discussion, the three decided it was best to send Satania home first. The most important thing was not to let Raphiel know about Satania's amnesia, or the trouble would never end.
"Then I'll be going back now. If there's anything you don't understand or if something special happens, remember to call me immediately."
"Mm, I got it. Bye-bye." Satania stood at the door and waved to Jhin, watching him leave. Then, she closed the door, ran to the living room, and rolled all over the floor.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!! I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!" Satania lay flat on the ground, her face so red it looked like it could bleed. Wisps of steam rose from the top of her head as her legs kicked wildly.
Actually, Satania had recovered her memory the moment she took that first bite of melon bread. However, her actions during her amnesia were so shameful she didn't know how to face Jhin. She could only brace herself and continue acting, utilizing the natural acting talent possessed by all girls to the fullest, surprisingly managing not to let the three of them notice a single anomaly.
Wh-What do I do? How do I resolve this awkward situation?
Don't tell me I have to continue pretending to be lovers with Jhin tomorrow?
Thinking of this possibility, Satania wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and not come out for a few decades. Flustered and confused, she turned on the TV.
Coincidentally, the TV was airing her favorite shopping program, 'Demon Realm Mail Order,' and the host was introducing an item that was exactly what she needed right now.
"This 'Perfect Lover' spray can make your romantic rival maintain the appearance of a perfect girlfriend for a certain period. Once the effective time passes, various accidents will occur, causing her to make a complete fool of herself in front of her boyfriend. It is the unparalleled choice for poaching partners, screwing over best friends, and stealing husbands! What are you hesitating for? Call the number below to order now!"
Satania completely stopped paying attention to what the host said after hearing the item's initial effect.
I just need to use this item tomorrow, and then find a suitable moment to pretend I've recovered my memory, right?! I can also say I don't remember anything that happened during this time, so it won't be awkward!
I am truly too smart!
Satania hurriedly placed an expedited order for the 'Perfect Lover' item. She raised her right hand to her mouth and let out her classic three-segment queen's laugh: "Oh~ Ho ho ho!"
Having solved her burning problem, Satania's attention was drawn to the prank items appearing one after another, and she happily started watching TV. She completely failed to realize that she could have just used her phone to say she recovered her memory and used the 'I don't remember what happened' setting to extricate herself right then and there.
