This demon is highly suspicious.

Although he likes to run around, he is still a good child and has not developed any psychological distortions due to his physical disability.

I just had bad luck.

The places I go to always have natural gas leaks.

"You're really down on your luck."

Kotoko Iwanaga, who was organizing the intelligence at hand, looked up at Pino, who seemed to be melting into the sofa, and pouted as she complained.

The original reason for bringing this guy back was that he was, after all, an angel.

Although her personality is a bit unreliable and she has lost her angelic aura, she is still an angel after all.

It should be able to help me.

But the truth is that after he brought this guy back, he quickly degenerated into a useless person who only knew how to enjoy life.

At first, they would say strange things like they wanted to strip others of their command authority, undermine God, and implement her rule over the heavens.

But now, he's just an old man with the appearance of a little girl.

He spends his days drinking and taking baths, then lies on the sofa in a very unseemly position reading newspapers and watching TV.

"I am experiencing the beauty of this world."

Pino shifted his posture and responded in a languid voice.

It's not that she doesn't work hard, but that her life is just too comfortable, making her no longer want to work hard.

Ah, today is another beautiful day.

Let's start planning our revenge against the devil tomorrow.

Okay, that's it. Let's continue to enjoy life today.

Kotoko Iwanaga sighed, somewhat helplessly.

This sense of helplessness applies to Pino.

If this guy were just enjoying life, that would be fine.

But this guy seems to have some mental issues; he's quite fragile.

Occasionally, she would suddenly panic at the thought of pursuers that might be sent by the heavens.

He needed Kotoko Iwanaga's help to inject medication to calm down.

Kotoko Iwanaga was also extremely annoyed, and her symptoms had only recently improved slightly.

It's no wonder Pino was so scared.

As an archangel through generations, Pino knew all too well the kind of enthusiasm those idle folks in Heaven would unleash when tasked with hunting down their former superior.

After all, that's how she was before.

'This guy.................'

Kotoko Iwanaga glanced subtly at Pino's casually open bathrobe, and her expression darkened.

She looks like a proper loli, but her figure is surprisingly good.

Especially her breasts; among all the people Kotoko Iwanaga had ever seen, only some monsters and the angel Raphiel could compare to them.

What Kotoko Iwanaga found most difficult to accept was...

This guy is a full ten centimeters taller than me!!!

From a purely subjective perspective, I should be taller than the other person.

But Pino was taller than her, by a full ten centimeters.

Kotoko Iwanaga, who is 1.5 meters tall, can only appear to be about the same height as Pinault, who is 1.6 meters tall, by wearing platform shoes and a beret.

“Eh..............”

With a sigh, Kotoko Iwanaga continued organizing the documents in her hands with a sense of helplessness.

Her workload has been increasing day by day recently.

A certain demon faction has recently fallen into internal strife due to a problem with the successor.

This also plunged the surrounding smaller organizations into chaos.

Kotoko Iwanaga felt a terrible headache.

Don't bother her with these kinds of things; those old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years don't want to listen to her anyway.

Kotoko Iwanaga's relationship with those old monsters can be simply understood as that of a person in charge of monitoring and mediating tasks and a soldier who has come down from the battlefield.

It's already a big favor to listen to her finish speaking quietly.

It is virtually impossible to forcibly reverse their ideas.

Kotoko Iwanaga has always dealt with these great monsters by coaxing and deceiving them.

But when it comes to the next generation of heirs, they simply cannot compromise.

Moreover, they themselves have intelligent monsters who are responsible for devising strategies, so how could I possibly lie to those guys?

They have seen far more than they have seen.

Otherwise, let's get rid of Luo Xia and his friends and solve the problem with violence.

To be honest, this wasn't the first time she'd had this idea.

Kotoko Iwanaga really didn't have a good impression of these great demons.

As for the reason..........

"As expected, none of them appeared."

After carefully reviewing the intelligence she had obtained, Kotoko Iwanaga was able to confirm that this so-called internal strife was merely a prelude for the older generation to pave the way for the younger leader to take power.

Most of the older generation of powerful demons remained silent throughout the entire ordeal, without making a move.

Their subordinates only made some symbolic remarks, but took no concrete action.

The chaos and restlessness are caused by some young monsters below.

In other words, the ultimate outcome of this internal strife will only be that the young leader purges the restless opportunists and then takes power with his own faction.

Kotoko Iwanaga deduced this.

After reaching this conclusion, Kotoko Iwanaga finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That would make things much simpler.

Although she couldn't reveal the information to those monsters, at least she felt much more at ease.

"However, we still need to inform Natsume-san."

Kotoko Iwanaga casually placed her computer aside and pondered.

The Book of Friends in Natsume Takashi's possession will definitely attract the attention of some yokai.

If it were to be taken away by accident, it might actually cause some kind of riot.

Just as Kotoko Iwanaga was pondering, a loud bang came from the doorway.

"Oh!"

"That guy named Pino! Come out and face your death!"

"If you come out yourself, I might leave you a whole corpse!"

The sturdy door was kicked open, and four crimson lights shone from the smoke and dust.

When the smoke cleared, Pecorine and Popolo stood in the doorway with horrified expressions, staring at Pino on the sofa with the look of someone looking at a dead man.

At that moment, Pino felt a profound sense of threat to his life.

Pinocchio is in danger!!!

Chapter 227 Pino: Don't come any closer!

"What?! What?! What happened?!"

Pino, who had been curled up on the sofa preparing to enjoy a lovely afternoon tea, suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

Malice!

Terrible malice!

Pino, as an angel, felt a terrible malice in that instant.

Almost instinctively, Pino jumped to Kotoko Iwanaga's side, adopting a wary posture.

After all, the original agreement between the two was that Kotoko Iwanaga would be responsible for Pino's living expenses and various costs.

Pino, on the other hand, was responsible for protecting Kotoko Iwanaga's safety.

Although, judging from Pino's fighting ability, it's highly likely that Kotoko Iwanaga will be protecting this good-for-nothing.

Don't doubt it, in the original timeline, this guy was a weak angel who was defeated by a German back throw from Poporon who had lost his powers, and whose angelic halo was also shattered.

This level of combat power is utterly a disgrace among angels.

A divine artifact that single-handedly lowered the moral standards of the entire angelic realm.

Putting aside their combat prowess for now, Pino's actions are very gratifying to Kotoko Iwanaga.

Thankfully, taking this guy in wasn't for nothing.

However, the next second...

"Kotoko! You have to protect me!"

"I'm just a weak, pitiful, and helpless little angel!"

Pino grabbed Kotoko Iwanaga's arm and said, feigning a trembling expression.

How arrogant they were when they had power, how humble they are when they lose it.

Pinault's current performance is not even as good as that of the cultural figure in a certain Yorozuya.
