Before Jhin could think deeply about the meaning behind Satania's words, the girl who had just been aggressively pinching him suddenly recoiled as if electrocuted. Her face flushed red as if she were drunk, and she stammered, "Jh-Jhin, why are you in my house?"
"Satania, you've recovered your memory?!" Jhin was overjoyed; he finally didn't have to worry about being unable to keep his gun under control.
Satania didn't dare look directly at Jhin. Filled with extreme embarrassment, she fled from his embrace. "Wh-What do you mean?"
What is going on? It hasn't even been two hours, how did the effect end already?
Why did I blurt out my important plan!
Ever since Satania was amazed by Jhin's culinary skills during the cooking practice class, she had always wanted to convert him into her kin. That way, she could guarantee enjoying the dishes Jhin made for the rest of her life.
Luckily, I didn't say the whole plan out loud. Jhin probably won't mind.
Disappearing along with the 'Perfect Lover' state was Satania's IQ. She didn't feel that her last sentence was easily misunderstood; she simply thought she had made Jhin agree to a request.
"You don't remember what happened during this time?"
How could Satania admit it at a time like this? Her tone was extremely firm. "I don't remember what happened."
"Anyway, it's good that you recovered your memory." Jhin felt his whole body relax. He prepared to notify Gabriel and the others of the good news.
Before he could make the call, the doorbell rang urgently—Ding-dong—just like the day Satania went to find Gabriel to play.
Jhin opened the door and smiled at Gabriel and Vignette, who were carrying bags big and small. "You guys are late. Satania has already recovered her memory."
"Really? That's great." Vignette patted her small chest in relief, genuinely happy for Satania. "Jhin, how did you get Satania to recover her memory?"
"I didn't do anything. She remembered on her own. Maybe she just slowly returned to normal after some time passed."
"Ah, that makes sense. I've also heard of cases where amnesia patients suddenly remember everything after a few days without any treatment."
Mentioning treatment, Jhin suddenly remembered something. He asked Vignette with slight confusion, "Why didn't we send Satania to the hospital in the first place?"
"Eh?" Vignette stood frozen like a wooden chicken, then spoke in a tone she wasn't quite sure of herself, "Human hospitals... probably wouldn't have a way to treat us demons, right?"
"Why is that a question?"
"B-Because I haven't been to a hospital in the Human World either. Besides, we have our own exclusive demon hospitals in Hell."
"Then what do you do if you get sick in the Human World?"
"Use magic to teleport back to Hell to see a doctor." Vignette tilted her head, drawing a circle in the air with her fingertip resembling a portal. "Is that weird?"
Jhin had almost forgotten they could use magic teleportation. It wasn't entirely his fault; aside from Gabriel, the fail-angel who would occasionally use divine magic in violation of the rules, Vignette and Satania were both good children who rarely used magic.
Except for Vignette when a cockroach rushed at her face.
"What, what? Vignette, you actually exposed our demon identity to Jhin just like that?!" Satania felt extremely astonished. The lightest punishment for such behavior was a deduction of the month's living expenses!
"Jhin is that type of special human who can see our race to begin with, so chatting about this with him is no problem. It won't violate the regulations."
"Oh, oh, so that's how it is."
"Hey, Satania, were you actually playing games with Jhin earlier?" Hearing that Satania had recovered her memory, Gabriel had long since thrown the packages she was carrying onto the floor and ran inside on her own to search for any suspicious traces.
"I don't remember any such thing," Satania continued to play dumb.
Finding nothing, Gabriel plopped down onto the sofa. Holding a game controller, she issued a challenge to Satania. "I heard you learned something new last time and wanted to beat me. Come play a couple of rounds?"
Naturally, Satania wouldn't back down. She waved her small hand excitedly. "Bring it on! This time I'll definitely beat you to a pulp."
She still remembers our previous topic. Looks like she really recovered her memory. Tsk, I wanted to tease her a bit longer.
But it doesn't matter. Let me use the techniques I stole from Jhin to hand this idiot demon her ninety-ninth defeat!
Sparks flew between the two. They simultaneously snorted, withdrew their gazes, and focused their attention on the TV screen.
"K.O! Perfect!"
Gabriel leaned back against the sofa, soulless and eyes glazed over. She was completely unaware that the game controller had fallen to the floor, her small mouth muttering incessantly, "Impossible, impossible... how could that idiot beat me so easily..."
"Oh ho ho ho~" Satania let out her three-segment queen's laugh. Hands on the floor, she leaned her face close to Gabriel's, revealing an extremely punchable expression. She grinned and said to Gabriel, "I've always wanted to see this look on your face, this look of jealousy toward me!"
Gabriel looked as if she had burned out completely, her whole body turning distinctively gray and white. She didn't react in the slightest to Satania's taunts.
"Is Satania acting a bit strange after recovering her memory?"
"Don't worry about it. That's a normal reaction to winning a fighting game."
Vignette squeezed out a forced smile and praised dryly, "Is... is that so? This reaction is really... quite unique."
Since Satania had regained her memory, there was no need for him to stay here. Jhin stood up, planning to say goodbye to Satania before leaving. "Satania."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"It's about time I went back."
"Oh, goodbye." Satania didn't notice what was under her feet. As she stood up, she accidentally stepped on the game controller Gabriel had dropped. Her entire body fell straight backward.
"Satania!"
Jhin rushed toward Satania in a single stride. Just as he prepared to grab her wildly flailing arms, he was bounced away by an inexplicable repulsive force.
What is going on?!
In her desperation, Satania grabbed directly onto Jhin's pants. With the crisp sound of an elastic band snapping, the entire pair of trousers was pulled down with a swish.
The room instantly fell into a deathly silence. After Vignette saw the buttocks wrapped in blue boxers, steam erupted from the top of her head, and her eyes turned into spinning mosquito coils as she fainted.
Satania's vision was blocked by the pants. She hurriedly tried to get up, but she hadn't realized she had fallen right between Jhin's legs. The top of her head delivered a heavy, fatal strike to his crotch.
Jhin's face turned the color of liver paste, veins popping out, as he collapsed to the ground clutching his vitals.
Satania pulled the pants away and saw Vignette and Jhin both lying on the ground. She turned pale with fright. "Jhin, Vignette, are you guys okay?!"
Gabriel sat on the sofa, her pupils devoid of light, the corners of her mouth twitching into an ugly smile.
"Everything... just let everything... be destroyed..."
