Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

"you you you you……"

Instantly, those distinctive snake-like vertical pupils came into view. Noel, who had been clinging to Samael's arm, was jolted awake and jumped up as if electrocuted. He pointed at the man in front of him, whose appearance had not changed at all over the decades, with a look of utter disbelief. He instinctively cursed and blurted out the words.

"It's all your fault, you irresponsible bastard, that you've ruined my life!"

"Ok?"

Samael's deep vertical pupils opened and closed, and a hint of nostalgia and surprise appeared on his face.

"How come I remember that it was you who tricked Arcueid and me back then and led us astray?"

"..."

Noel's body was stiff as a board, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

On the contrary, Samael's smile grew even brighter, like... a snake flicking its tongue, baring its fangs, and examining a caged white mouse with great interest.

"So, what did you just say?"

"I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

In an instant, Noel, who had just looked bitter and resentful, quickly slid down to his knees and admitted defeat in a standard dogeza (a traditional Chinese obeisance).

That swift speed and professional posture reminded Samael of a certain silly bird that was an expert in this field.

Even though he couldn't help but chuckle, the ancient serpent composed himself, lowered his eyes, and looked down at Noel, who was kneeling at his feet looking as if he had lost his parents. He spoke softly with regret.

"Originally, I could forgive you, but now that I know you've been ruining my reputation behind my back, it puts me in a difficult position, little one..."

"Big brother? Boss? God of war! No way!"

Suddenly, Noel, caught up in the unfounded association, shuddered violently and rushed forward, wailing and clinging tightly to Samael's leg, sobbing and crying.

"Don't sink me into the sea, I'm afraid of choking on water; and don't feed me to these monsters, I'm afraid of the pain..."

"It's a misunderstanding, really just a misunderstanding! I know you saved the village, but I was just joking before. I've always considered you my idol!"

"One person took down four or five Blood Ancestors, that's insane, no, it's incredibly cool! From the moment I learned the truth, my young heart was completely captivated by you! I am your absolutely loyal fan!"

A moment later, Noel, whose survival instinct was bursting, seemed to have found a way out and made a solemn promise.

Samael scoffed at this insincere explanation, a cold laugh spreading across his face.

"So, this is how you, as a fan, usually criticize your idol in private?"

Having run out of arguments, Noel, in a moment of inspiration, weakly spoke up.

"Haters, is that not allowed...?"

"..."

Samael was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.

send……!

Their eyes met, and in the eerie silence, Noel was on the verge of tears, his mind blank except for this one word.

"If you absolutely have to die, could you at least seal me in cement and plant me inside a pillar in a large apartment building...?"

At this moment, Noel, who had completely given up struggling, spread his hands, lay down and gave up, and let out a pathetic plea.

"I've been working for so long and still haven't bought a house. This way, at least after I die, I can have a big house all to myself..."

"..."

Seeing this poor kid with a defeated look on his face, whose dying wish was so humble, Samael couldn't help but feel pity and extinguished the wicked pleasure in his heart.

After all, in a sense, he should indeed bear some responsibility for the life that was taken from Noye.

Is it a responsibility?

Just as the ancient serpent was muttering to itself, the battle in the station park came to an end.

Or, it would be more appropriate to call it "abuse" rather than "fight".

"It's done!"

The loli goddess, who was the first to emerge from the dense forest, clapped her smooth little hands and turned back playfully.

"2:1, remember to bring your snack box to my room."

Ugh, I really do hate kids!

Looking at the little girl who was showing off in front of her, Kallen, who had been defeated once again, bit her lip and felt very depressed.

"Karen!"

Just as the church saint was feeling indignant, Samael beckoned to his own priestess, then, with a quick glint in his eye, passed the trouble on to someone in the industry.

"Let's get acquainted. This is Noel, the new agent sent by the Holy Church, and also your colleague at Suiqunyuan Academy."

Immediately, Samael turned to look kindly at Sakuzuki Yoshiko beside him, and without further ado, took on another easy task.

"Madam, where do you live? Let me take you there!"

"Wait, what about her?"

Seeing her unscrupulous godfather about to leave, Karen, who was also not good at socializing, was at her wit's end.

"Of course it's your responsibility! Just think of it as having another assistant. Teach her anything she doesn't know how to do. Mario, that old bastard, can command the agents, right? Have your dad write an application when you have time to finalize the connection! If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Samael grabbed Athena's little tail from behind and, while making arrangements with an air of self-righteousness, left all the cleanup and trouble-solving to Karen.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, leaving only the executor and the saintess staring at each other.

Chapter 10 The Lolis' Happy Games (5k)

In the dead of night, on the deserted streets, Samael and Athena accompanied Sakuzuki Yoshiko, who had narrowly escaped danger that night, as they made their way towards Sakuzuki's house.

To avoid awkwardness, Samael took the initiative to choose some relatively interesting topics. With his extensive knowledge and the harmless little Athena acting as a mediator, Yoshiko quickly relaxed her guard, and the three chatted and laughed.

"It's a pleasure chatting with you. Your daughter is also very cute. I'm becoming more and more interested in Ms. Alice that you mentioned. If I have the chance, I really hope to meet your wife as soon as possible."

Under the moonlight, Yoshiko's beautiful eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at the modern woman who was going abroad to participate in a world-class rally. The fascinating topics that followed left this wife, who rarely had in-depth conversations with others, wanting more.

"I think Alice would be very happy to meet such a knowledgeable and talented lady as you."

Samael responded with a smile, displaying a humble attitude.

Little Athena was also smiling, but a hint of stiffness appeared on her face.

"Thank you for your help tonight. I will make a special trip to thank you when I have time in the future."

Sakuzuki Yoshiko's voice was gentle, her smile pure, and she pointed to the small house behind the distant mountains, her eyes full of apology.

"However, it seems too late today, and it's a bit inconvenient at home. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

She's home.

"Well then, have a safe trip, madam."

Samael nodded in understanding, smiled and waved, then took Athena's hand and turned to walk into the night.

Watching the two mysterious, kind-hearted passersby disappear completely from sight, Sakuzuki Yoshiko breathed a sigh of relief. She tightened her grip on her handbag, then loosened it slightly, revealing that her palms were already covered in sticky sweat.

Finally, we made it through.

Although the two people, one big and one small, acted very kindly, the invisible pressure still made Shuoyue Yangdaizi feel like she was sitting on pins and needles the whole way.

After all, she wasn't blind or stupid.

The terrifying scene of the father and daughter easily slaughtering three evil gods and a large group of demons tonight was deeply imprinted in her mind.

I really don't know if moving to Fuyuki City was the right choice.

This place is too dangerous.

But it was precisely because of the danger and the eeriness that they were able to evade their pursuers and enjoy such a long period of peace.

As the new moon rose, Yoshiko looked up at the hazy, cold moonlight and smiled bitterly.

Forget it, let's think about the future later.

Tonight, the woman, a survivor of the ordeal, patted her cheeks in the cold wind.

Dispelling the chaotic thoughts in her mind, she moved her facial muscles and put on a gentle and elegant smile, like a noblewoman, yet also innocent and beautiful like a child. Carrying her handbag, she turned and walked towards a nearby alley. After a few turns, she disappeared into the shady grove on the downhill slope.

Rather than, as she said, beyond the distant mountains.

"Hey~~"

In front of the desolate courtyard, Sakuzuki Yoshiko carefully observed her surroundings before lifting the cushion and rhythmically tapping several times on the tiles engraved with mysterious patterns. After waiting for the invisible halo to fade a bit, she took out her key and opened the door.

"Miyu, Mommy's home! Ta-da! Look what I brought you? Toys!"

After several clicks of locks clicking shut, Sakuzuki Yoshiko, who had kicked off her shoes in the entryway, pulled out a brightly colored ball from under a pile of certificates in her bag and ran barefoot into the house with the air of presenting a treasure.

Inside the room, on a flat tatami mat, a little girl with black hair and red eyes, dressed in an exquisite kimono, leaned against the corner of the wall with a cold, doll-like expression. She looked up at the colorful ball her mother was handing her, and a hint of joy appeared on her delicate face.

But soon, the child seemed to realize something, and his face returned to its calm and indifferent state. He did nothing as the ball rolled to his feet, just watched it quietly.

His gaze was filled with curiosity and admiration.

Seeing this, Shuoyue Yangdaizi felt both gratified and bittersweet.

The Shuoyue family is a long-standing family that has continued since the Tianzheng era, and I myself come from this family.

Within this mysterious family, there exists an extremely special ability.

Legend has it that girls born into this family all have crimson eyes and possess extraordinary abilities.

That is, within their female bloodline, a child—a child of God—will be born who receives human thoughts and unconsciously materializes them.

The characteristic of the Divine Child is that it will grant people's wishes indiscriminately.

In a sense, it is equivalent to the personified Holy Grail on this land.

But such extraordinary power is not a good thing for a child who is too weak.

On the one hand, we must deal with the child's active and ignorant nature; on the other hand, we must guard against the covetousness of outsiders.

Therefore, in the early stages, most of the children born into the Shuoyue family died young.

The first one saved Fuyuki from famine, but died at the age of only 2.

Second, the spirit is worn down even before life itself.

From the third child onwards, their births were kept secret.

Girls from the Shuoyue family are raised by their mothers alone within a barrier that isolates them from human thoughts.

This was the ritual that led to God's fall to earth as a human.

In order to resist the active and lively nature of children and prevent the power of the divine infants from running on their own and breaking the container, the Shuoyue family advocates the behavior of not speaking, not thinking, and not moving, and raises their young offspring like dolls.

This is a ruthless approach that is the complete opposite of ordinary parenting.

But beneath the cold exterior lies a mother's deep love for her daughter.

That's right, the child in front of us is the new generation prodigy of the Shuoyue family.

Several years ago, a misfortune befell the family, and the protective barrier around the child was destroyed. Naturally, this secret could no longer be kept hidden. In order to protect the family, many people suggested abandoning the child to avoid bringing about a calamity of destruction.

But as a mother, how could she bear to abandon her own daughter?

Therefore, in order to prevent her daughter from falling into the hands of others, Sakuzuki Yoshiko, as the mother, took her young daughter and left the family's hometown, secretly came to Fuyuki City, and carefully went into hiding.

Even so, due to the fate of her clan, her daughter could not go out freely before the age of seven, because this was the most vulnerable period for the children of the gods.

Moreover, due to Shenzhi'er's constitution, strict information restrictions were necessary, and living a secluded life became the norm for the mother and daughter.

However, as a mother, Yoshiko Sakuzuki still hopes that her daughter Miyu can acquire worldly knowledge, become a normal child, and be able to communicate, act, and think normally.

This is how the mothers of the Shuoyue family have worked for generations.

Perhaps calling it work is inappropriate; it's simply based on a mother's love for her child.

Therefore, Yoshiko Sakuzuki adopted an unconventional parenting method for her daughter Miyu. Although it was unbearable, this was how her mother raised her.

Fortunately, the special abilities of prodigies only exist in the period before the child is about ten years old.

Due to the mysterious resurgence and the abnormal return of spirit particles, Sakuzuki Yoshiko postponed the event for several more years just in case.

Once the child survives her early childhood and it is confirmed that the power of the Divine Child has completely disappeared from her, everything will be alright and the child can return to a normal life.

Moreover, in order to teach her daughter various kinds of knowledge step by step in the future and to familiarize her with the outside world earlier, Sakuzuki Yoshiko made full preparations and rehearsals.

For example, learning various kinds of knowledge and obtaining relevant professional certificates.
