Chapter 418. I Like To Piss You Off
Seven Sins System Chapter 418. I Like To Piss You Off
Puriel’s PoV
"It is," Azrael said calmly, the slight grin still playing at the edges of his mouth.
"But I like to piss you off," he added, the smirk blossoming into a full, unapologetic smile.
"Why?" Puriel shot back, her annoyance palpable in her tone.
"Because that's how we communicate. At least, that's the only way I know," Azrael admitted with a bluntness that was characteristic of his straightforward, devil-may-care attitude.
It was an unexpected confession, one that left Puriel momentarily speechless. It sounded absurd, yet it resonated with a harsh truth.
Their interactions, since their unexpected reunion, had indeed evolved into a series of provocations. This was their language now—conflict and reaction, a dance of discord.
Puriel's hand, which had been poised in a gesture of defiance, slowly lowered. She shifted her gaze to meet him, searching his eyes for a hint of the boy she once knew.
"Tell me, do you want us to communicate like in the past? When we were still kids? When we were still Riri and El?" she asked.
If not for the misunderstandings that had driven them apart, perhaps their story would have followed a different path.
Azrael's reaction was immediate and visible. His eyebrows shot up.
"So you want us to play around in the mortal realm?" he asked, his tone uncertain.
The frown returned. He tried to understand her angle.
"You mean like playing with mortals' lives? Make a little mess here and there?" He needed to be sure they were on the same page.
"No, not like that," Puriel clarified.
Her expression darkened into a frown.
"I'm a goddess, I can't possibly let you do that," she stated.
"Then what do you mean?" Azrael pressed.
"Just imagine if we went back to the past, and we did the same things as we did then," Puriel replied.
Azrael’s face contorted into a cringe. "You mean you want us to climb trees, play in the river, and run around in the forest like we're little kids?" His voice was laced with skepticism.
“Yes, exactly!” Puriel responded, her voice suddenly bursting with excitement.
Azrael’s expression morphed from confusion to disbelief, his cringe deepening.
“You want us, a hundred-year-old devil and goddess, to play in the forest, climb trees, and splash in the river like we used to?” He shook his head, incredulous. “Don’t you think that will make us look like a couple of retard creatures? Even adult mortals don't do that,” he argued.
Puriel fell silent, her eyes locking with Azrael's. He was right... They were not children anymore; they were entities bound by celestial duties and dark missions.
Her disappointment was clear. Yet, she remained silent, her lips tightly sealed. Even though Azrael's blunt dismissal was expected, it carried a bitterness that stung deeply.
She didn't want to admit he was right—that such actions would indeed make them look foolish.
Azrael's expression shifted, his usual smirk faltering.
Puriel couldn't be certain what thoughts were crossing his mind, but she could imagine his sneer, the internal mockery as he possibly thought her delusional to even suggest such a thing.
Suddenly, Azrael stood up from his seat.
"Move your ass; we need to get to work. Or do you want to stare at me for the rest of the day?" he demanded, his tone reproachful yet carrying an undercurrent of something else—was it pity?
For sure... There was a softness there.
Puriel looked up at him, struck by the subtle shift in his voice. It hinted at a depth she rarely saw, a complexity that suggested he might understand more than he let on.
“Yes,” she answered in a reluctant tone.
Her heart ached with a mix of emotions—regret, longing, and a sense of loss. The loss of what could have been, of the simplicity they had once enjoyed as children.
