Chapter 301. Once Mine, Will be Mine Forever
Seven Sins System Chapter 301. Once Mine, Will be Mine Forever
"You...!" Aria complained, her frustration bubbling up once more. Anger flashed in her eyes, a fiery intensity that spoke of her overwhelming desire to unleash her wrath upon me.
But as her desire to strike me down peaked, she let out a frustrated groan. Her gaze shifted away, her shoulders slumping in reluctant resignation. It seemed that, for the moment at least, she had abandoned the idea of exacting revenge.
I leaned back in my chair, adopting a nonchalant posture, and couldn't help but voice my own grievances. "I was a kid. Don't blame me for it," I protested, my tone carrying a hint of defensiveness.
My tentacle extended towards the fridge, retrieving a can of tomato juice for me. My hand took it, then took a casual sip. "Moreover, I waited for you there for a week," I continued.
"You waited for me that long?" Aria's voice carried a tone of disbelief, her eyes widening in astonishment at the revelation.
I nodded casually in response. "Yeah," I affirmed, my voice tinged with a touch of nonchalance. "If it wasn't for my mom picking me up and nagging me, I might have waited stupidly for you at that place longer than that. You are my reason why I look down on mortals after all," I added with a huff, my words hinting at the complicated emotions that had shaped my perspective.
Aria fell into a momentary silence, her thoughts evidently deepening as her anger began to subside. She seemed to be reflecting on the past, the events that had led us to this point. Finally, she broke the quiet with a much calmer tone. "And what happened that day is the main reason why I hate you," she admitted, her words carrying the weight of a long-standing grudge and unresolved emotions.
I let out an exasperated huff, my breath carrying a mix of amusement and incredulity. "Let me guess... Was it because you felt my demonic power?" I ventured, my tone laced with a hint of ironic curiosity.
Aria didn't hesitate to confirm my guess. "Yes," she admitted with a nod, her admission punctuated by the weight of truth.
I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. "This is so screwed up," I mused, my words reflecting the sheer complexity of our situation. With a shrug, I took another sip of my tomato juice, as if to wash down the irony of our predicament.
Aria leaned to the side, her gaze fixed firmly on me as she broached a question that hung heavy in the air. "So, what are we now?" she inquired, her tone tinged with a note of apprehension. "Will this be some kind of mortal's political marriage thing?" A shiver ran through her at the very thought.
I couldn't help but choke on my drink, cringing at the idea she'd suggested. "Demons don't marry," I stated bluntly, a hint of exasperation in my voice as I clarified. "There's no such concept in our dictionary. We f*ck, we breed and that’s all," I added, my words trailing off vaguely.
I paused for a moment, considering the complexities of our situation. "And I don't want to dismiss my harem," I continued, my tone firm as I made my stance clear. "I'm a possessive devil. Once mine, will be mine forever," I concluded, emphasizing my inclination for loyalty and the bond of possession that characterized me.
She cast a look of pure disgust my way, her words cutting through the air like a blade. "I'm also not interested in that idea either," she declared firmly. "There's no way I want to marry a creature with as many tentacles as you. Asmo looks better than you," she pointed out, her expression making her stance perfectly clear.
I couldn't help but bristle at her comparison, my competitive streak getting the better of me. "Hey, he has f*cked almost all the women he met. So, I'm better than him," I insisted, my tone a mix of frustration and pride.
Aria couldn't help but burst into sarcastic laughter, her amusement ringing out as she mocked me. "Ha ha ha. In your dreams," she taunted.
Silence hung between us for a moment, the weight of our newfound understanding settling in. I let out a sigh, breaking the quiet with an idea that had crossed my mind. "Partner," I suddenly proposed.
Aria's eyebrows shot up in surprise, her expression a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. "What?" she asked, clearly intrigued but cautious.
I leaned forward, my tone taking on a more serious note. "What if we become partners for the mission?" I suggested. "Your mom also asked you to investigate the chaos in the mortal realm, right? And I'm sure you know that demons aren't the only ones who have escaped into this realm," I continued, laying out the reasoning for our potential collaboration, "We can work together for that."
In response to my proposition, Aria regarded me with a healthy dose of suspicion, her eyes narrowing in contemplation.
"Two heads are better than one," I pressed, offering a persuasive argument for our partnership. "Besides, I'm sure you already know about the dark crystal," I continued.
Her doubt lingered, but I wasn't finished yet. "Or maybe you also know about the white crystal?" I ventured, expressing my speculation about a potential piece of the puzzle. Since the culprit had summoned angels as well, it stood to reason that they might have been involved with the creation of such a white crystal.
Aria's eyes widened at my statement, a flicker of regret passing over her features. "So, you already know about that," she conceded, her admission hanging in the air.
I couldn't help but smirk inwardly, a sense of satisfaction washing over me. 'Ha! Bingo!' I thought to myself, recognizing that I had hit the mark.
"Well, I was just guessing, but I'm glad my guess is right," I chimed in with a light and pleased tone.
Aria, on the other hand, seemed less than thrilled, her teeth gritted in response to my apparent satisfaction. “You!”
I sighed, shaking my head slightly. "Just focus on the mission, Puriel," I gently reminded her, emphasizing the importance of our shared goal and the need to put aside any personal disagreements or surprises that might crop up along the way.
