Chapter 99: Wheel of fate
Chapter 99: Wheel of fate
Aika wasn't stupid. Instead, she was sharp, and that was why she knew what the shape of their relationship was.
Frankly, she knew that he only came to the human world for a holiday, vacation, or business trip, and it was also for that reason they could meet each other.
However, if there wasn't such an activity, she knew that even if she died due to old age, there was no way for them to meet each other.
While she knew that it might be cliche, she had a feeling that their meeting was due to fate.
After all, he told her that he threw his summoning paper randomly, yet among all the people in Kuoh town, or even in this country, even the chances of this summoning paper being ignored by anyone and becoming trash was higher than being picked up; she was still able to pick it up.
For two beings, a human and a devil, to meet each other among these billions, if this wasn't fate, then what was it?
Nevertheless, she knew that for him, she was nothing but another girl.
Meanwhile, she thought of him as something special.
Still, even if she knew that she didn't mind since she liked him so much, and it was also because she needed to maintain a novelty and make him hooked by her so he wouldn't abandon her.
However, if she learned magic, then could she meet him even if he returned to the Underworld?
Eager to achieve such a thing, she tempted him with various tricks that she had learned, then got him to teach her magic.
"Cough! Cough!"
Riser coughed as she looked at Aika, who was sitting in a "seiza" manner face to face on the soft carpet in her room. He wasn't sure what this girl was thinking, but since he had promised to teach her, then he would teach her.
"Before I teach you magic, I want to ask you whether there is a type of magic that you wish to learn?"
"A magic that I want to learn?" Aika thought for a moment, then asked, "Is there a fortune-telling magic?"
"...fortune telling?" He was speechless.
"Yes." Aika nodded. "Like a tarot, astrology, kau cim, or something similar?
"...."
"...there isn't?"
"I do have something similar, but why do you want to learn those things?"
"Well, I thought that it would make money in the future?"
Aika stuck out her tongue cutely.
"....."
Riser took something out of his pocket and threw it to Aika. "For you."
"What is this?"
Aika was confused, but then she saw that it was a bank card. "...bank card?"
Why did he give a bank card?
She didn't understand why he did all of this.
"There is 300 million yen there. The password is written on the back."
"...." Aika.
It was said that from baby to death, the amount of money that the majority of people in this country could earn was 300 million yen.
In other words, just by becoming his lover for a few days, Aika had received the amount of money that the majority of people in this country needed to spend their entire lives working.
It might be cruel, but the reality was like this.
The value of someone could be equal to such an amount of money.
This was this country; in a different country, the value of humans might be even worse than that of cattle.
"No, I don't want this. You can have it back."
There was no hesitation in her words, and she returned the bank card to him directly.
"Are you sure? This amount of money might be great for you, but I can get it easily in a few minutes."
"Yes." Aika nodded solemnly. "Somehow... I feel that something might change if I really accept your money."
Love could be realistic, but she was still in high school, and even if she was smarter than the majority of people and knew the importance of money, she still had a certain ideal and dream of her relationship.
Moreover, she was afraid that this money might dirty their relationship.
Even though their relationship was always dirty and messy, considering what they always did in her room.
Nevertheless, she also understood the importance of money.
If not, then why should her parents continue to work late during the weekdays?
Probably, in the future, she might change, but now, she definitely wouldn't accept this money!
"Is that so?" His tone was at ease, never seemed flucated, and he just put the bank card in his pocket again.
Still, her look at him was quite complicated. "...I only realize it now, but shouldn't you be an amazing devil?"
"That's why I told you you were lucky to summon me, okay?" He smiled as he caressed her hair.
"Um..." She hugged him tightly and inhaled his scent deeply. "I am lucky to summon you."
"....."
Riser wondered why it was so easy for a woman to get emotional, but it didn't matter.
"Well, I might not be able to do a fortune telling, but I can do a Feng Shui."
"Feng Shui?"
"It can make you feel better at home, lucky, and healthy."
"It seems quite good."
She felt the future potential of this knowledge wasn't bad at all, even though it wasn't something that she wished for, yet a devil wasn't a god; they weren't omnipotent, and she understood that.
It was amazing that he could understand "Feng Shui."
"Then, I will transfer that knowledge into your head."
"Tra-Transfer?"
While she was confused, suddenly she saw him summoning several flat screens that projected into the air.
"....."
When she fell into a daze, he manipulated his keyboard and then pressed enter, causing loading bars to appear on the top of her head.
Aika became even more amazed, especially when knowledge of "Feng Shui" entered her as the loading bars moved.
Frankly, it was his first time using the "Archiver" to transfer information, but as expected, he felt that this magic was convenient.
"What do you think?"
"It-It's great! I-I can understand a lot of "Feng Shui" knowledge!"
Before, due to his half-baked explanation, she might not have understood how amazing "Feng Shui" was, but after the information about "Feng Shui" was downloaded into her head with the "Archiver" magic, she understood how incredible this skill was.
"Okay, learn well. I will need to leave tomorrow—"
He hadn't finished his words, but this girl pushed him, kissed him, and started to ride on him.
"Tonight, I will try to dry you."
Aika licked her lips lewdly as she stared at him with a condescending gaze.
"..."
Was it even possible to dry him up?
Still, what could a mortal do against him?
But he didn't mind humoring her as even if her struggle was meaningless, she was cute.
---
As expected, it was impossible for a perverted girl like Aika to defeat him.
Still, he needed to say goodbye to her, his wife, and Akeno since he needed to meet Magari, Ni, and Li.
"Be careful, okay?"
Sona looked at him sadly since he was about to leave once again.
"Don't look at me like that. I will go back soon, okay?"
"Hurry up and go home."
"I know."
He lifted her bangs lightly and kissed her forehead gently, but this wasn't the end since he continued to kiss her left cheek, right cheek, nose, and lips tenderly, hugging her tightly, then parted their lips and stared into her eyes with love.
"Then, I will leave."
"Un."
Only Sona felt reluctant, but she couldn't stop him and could only wait for him to return.
Nevertheless, no one expected due to just this single decision, something big happened as if the wheel of fate was moving and it was impossible to stop.
