Before today, Jhin still considered Satania to be a naive and foolishly cute demon.
Her little melon brain contained only dreams of becoming a Great Archdemon, melon bread, and a petty wish to defeat Gabriel. She would guard the television for deceptive shopping programs like 'Demon Realm Mail Order,' buying bizarre props to execute her pranks.
But now, this shy girlfriend appearance was like Cupid's arrow, piercing Jhin's heart with incomparable precision, making him realize that Satania could actually become this pitiably lovable.
Satania's crimson eyes swirled with attachment and joy as she gazed intently at Jhin, who was holding her. That gaze alone could soften the hardest stone in the world. Seeming to feel that she wasn't pressed close enough to Jhin, Satania squeezed further into his embrace, letting out a shallow, soft hum from her thin, pink lips: "Mhm~"
Jhin felt his bones turn to mush at that sound, almost shouting out, 'Great Immortal Satania, please retract your divine powers!'
"Jhin, where should we go play after we eat?"
"How about we just stay home and play games for now? After all, we still have to figure out a way to cure your amnesia." Jhin's tone shifted to the doting voice he usually used when speaking to Hitori Gotoh as he straightened the bat-shaped hairclip on her head.
"Eh~ Staying home is boring," Satania pouted her small mouth, grabbing Jhin's right hand and subconsciously swinging it back and forth.
"Be a good girl. I'll take you out to play after your amnesia symptoms are cured, okay?"
"Okay..." Satania didn't want to leave an impression of being spoiled or willful in her boyfriend's heart, so she had to agree. Her body slid down slowly, and she tilted her head back, reaching out to cup Jhin's cheeks to look him in the eye. She smiled beautifully, her vermilion lips parting slightly: "Then... give me a kiss."
'Hiss~ Why do you act more like a legitimate girlfriend than even Bocchi-chan? Where on earth did Satania learn these moves?'
Jhin had lived two lives, yet he had never been actively hit on by a girl before. He didn't expect to experience the feeling of being seduced by a girl this time, and the target was the dorky demon he regarded as a mascot.
A special, enchanting fragrance combined with Satania's textbook-level flirting skills made Jhin feel as if his heart had been severely electrocuted. He completely forgot that he and Satania weren't actually in a romantic relationship. His brain went dizzy, and he lowered his head, about to kiss her.
"Stop right there!!!!!!"
Gabriel and Vignette, who had been watching the interaction between the two in a daze, roared at the critical moment, rushing to the couple to pull them apart.
Gabriel stomped one foot onto the mattress beside Jhin's ear, rested her left hand on her thigh, grabbed Jhin by the collar, and demanded furiously, "Jhin! What are you doing!"
Gabriel's holy body scent completely sobered Jhin's brain. The girl's pure, sacred domain visible in the shadows before his eyes made his mind waver again, and he stammered, "So-Sorry, I don't know why, but my brain was a little unclear just now."
'Brain unclear... Come to think of it, demons seem to have means to bewitch people's hearts. Is that idiot Satania able to seduce Jhin relying on instinct?'
"Hmph." Gabriel let out a light snort from her exquisite nose, releasing Jhin's collar and retracting her left leg at the same time. "For the sake of your ignorance, I'll let it slide this time."
On the other side, Vignette clutched Satania's shoulders tightly, asking in a tone of disbelief as if she were meeting her friend for the first time, "Satania, how did you turn into this kind of boy-seducing demon? Wake up a little!"
"You are?" Satania wasn't annoyed by missing the chance to kiss Jhin. The purple-haired girl in front of her gave her a warm, reliable feeling, yet she couldn't recall her name.
'What Jhin said makes sense. This girl looks very concerned about me; she must be my good friend. But I can't even remember her name clearly. I really need to find a way to restore my memory.'
"Eh? What's wrong with you?" Vignette's face was full of astonishment; she never expected Satania's first words to be something like that.
"Ah, the emergency I mentioned on the phone was this problem. Satania has amnesia." Gabriel scratched her hair irritably. She now deeply regretted playing that joke on Satania; even force-feeding her a few more cups of chili water would have been better than this. Gabriel let out a long sigh: "I said she was Jhin's girlfriend, and it turned out like this."
Vignette knew clearly that Gabriel held affection for Jhin, yet now, due to a joke, Satania had transformed into Jhin's girlfriend. Gabriel's conflicted and indignant expression made Vignette unable to suppress a laugh, and she secretly teased her, "Would you call this reaping what you sow?"
"Huh? What do you mean by that? If we really let them continue, the only one losing out will be Satania, right?" Gabriel didn't think Jhin would be the one suffering a loss in this kind of matter.
Seeing that Gabriel still hadn't figured out her own feelings, Vignette didn't plan to point it out prematurely. After all, Heaven's strict commandments were still there; in a sense, Gabriel remaining unaware of her true thoughts might be the best outcome.
"What do you mean? Why are you saying Jhin and I aren't lovers?" Satania felt a faint sense of unease in her heart. She pushed Vignette away and burrowed back into Jhin's arms to seek a sense of security.
Her actions made Gabriel's brow twitch. She was about to drag this demon with the shameless body and heart-deceiving ways out of her best friend's embrace, but Vignette held her back.
"Gabu, I heard it's best not to continue stimulating people with amnesia, or it will aggravate the symptoms."
"There's such a thing?"
"Moreover, if we want to treat Satania, we need her cooperation. It would be troublesome if she actively rejected us."
"Tsk, can't we just give her a whack on the back like this?" Gabriel gestured to Vignette as if holding a club.
Vignette shook her head hurriedly. "I think if you bring a club down like that, it will only worsen Satania's symptoms, maybe even turn it into permanent amnesia."
Jhin scooted backward to create some distance, ensuring he wouldn't lose his soul to Satania's temptation like before, and comforted her softly, "They just saw that you have amnesia and found it hard to believe for a moment, so they thought of saying the opposite to stimulate you."
"Since Jhin says so... then I'll believe them for the time being." Satania lay in Jhin's arms, her face pressed tightly against his chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat. The uneasiness in her heart dissipated significantly. Her boneless, soft legs wrapped around Jhin's thighs like a water snake, as if she wished she could squeeze herself right into his body.
Seeing her series of actions, both Vignette and Gabriel twitched the corners of their mouths, their heads covered in black lines.
Why did Satania, after losing her memory, turn into a demon who acts coquettishly and seduces people every waking moment?
Did she really not secretly watch some strange things at home?
