"Oh, come on," Lucifer scowled. "You mean to tell me that you never noticed that the Bible itself mention that I'm the king of the world?
How do you think I almost got through with getting Jesus to surrender his 'naivety' to me?"
"I thought it was- I mean, you're supposed to be a trickster! How the fuck am I-"
"Stop, stop… stop," He said, taking a moment of silence before sighing. "Tricksters are meant to be neutral.
Chaotic? Yes. But chaos is also something that live by standards. And we both know that since we trick people on a normal basis."
"I'm not-"
"Please, I wasn't referring to the silly notion that you are like me, you insufferable moron,"
Lucifer interjected fiercely. "I was the brightest Angel, my wife is the hottest thing in this world, my family is doing mostly alright and…
you are a kid that ended up in a theater of war far beyond the 'little scuffle' I had with pops."
I glared at him again at the early bits of his response, but then I found myself pausing over his last words.
"A war?"
"A big one. One that we might end up losing… again," Lucifer admitted grimly. "Which is why I need you to not tell anyone about my presence and keep quiet about the few things I can tell you about."
"Why?"
… "Uh?"
"Why are you here? Why would you need me to win this war? Why not Azazel, Michael or-"
"All options are kind of stale. It's not like I wasn't thinking about how many worthy warriors I could've relied on…
But they are all tied to factions, to large and cumbersome ideas that just would make any efforts to convince them of my genuineness fruitless and detrimental."
"Issei, Vali, Rias- Heck, why not Rizevim since he's your son."
"Kind of awkward to stick to women considering that said women are subject of plenty of lewd moments,"
Lucifer explained, nodding as he contemplated about it.
"The pervy Dragon is similar, and it's mostly about him being unreliable as a subtle person about big plots.
He would confess to it to the closest being with the biggest chest."
I stared at him for a long time, expecting for a continuation of the response but… he kept silent.
"And?"
He sighed, sporting a reluctant look. "And I really don't want to bring in my family in danger.
It was the only promise I managed to snatch out of Big G was to keep them away from any repercussions after the War, and I don't plan to get them in danger when the big trouble comes here."
"But why… me?"
I blinked, my voice faltering as I felt my entire self getting pulled away from the place.
"W-Wha-"
"It seems like you're close to wake up. While you got quite the beating from Rizevim, I dare to say that the damage was dealt with thanks to the Phoenix's tear,"
Lucifer pointed out dryly. "I dare say that you got a couple hours of sleep and a fuckton of surprises waiting on the other side."
"But what about-" I started to float for a moment and then soar up.
The man shook his head while he kept looking at me.
…
"And he's gone… I wonder if I should tell him about the real reason why I stuck to him," Lucifer mumbled quietly.
"I wonder how he would react if I said to him that he found me first."
But for now, it will remain just a thought in that endless sea of confusion.
My body felt incredibly sore as I finally woke up from that strange encounter.
At first I thought that it was the results of fighting in critical conditions that had left me somewhat drained from the experience.
But then I noticed that there were two distinct weights pushing me onto the mattress.
My eyes carefully adjusted at the dim lights coming from the bedside, and my attention quickly locked onto the two sleeping individuals cuddling close to me.
Kunou was clutching my right arm tightly as she kept her left cheek pressed on my chest. The Kitsune seemed incredibly tired from the fact that her face had such a somber look.
On my chest, much to my surprise and instantaneous worry, I found a certain Sprite Dragon straddling onto the shirt of my Pjs.
Kimiko was shivering just a little bit, two silent lines of tears flowing down her face as she seemed to be facing a nightmare.
Blinking, I carefully found that I could only move my left arm with the way I was settled on the bed.
Quietly but quickly, I had my hand reach for the top of her head as I started to scratch a little bit.
The familiar went tense for a moment, and I could tell that whatever frightening scene had caused this terrible reaction out of my fiery girl, I knew that it was quickly dissipating.
I felt relief washing over my entire self as I noticed the Sprite Dragon snuggle closer to my chest, prompting a smile to appear on my face.
I leaned a little bit forward, placing my lips over her scaly forehead and landing a quick peck.
A suave 'Kiii~' vibrated over my body. I almost let out a soft snort at the scene, but my amusement was cut short as I turned to the side and…
noticed a pair of bright golden eyes staring at right at me.
Kunou was giving me a wide-eyed expression. Yet she was quiet, as if expecting for this very development to turn in a dream rather than reality.
I blinked at her, a curious look plastered on my visage as I finally spoke up.
"Good morning, Ku-chan," I muttered softly, smiling as the girl's foxy ears twitched attentive at the sudden words.
The blonde stared in silence for a little longer, but then she made a step to see if this was real or not.
