Chapter 286 The Oriole - S01E08
Besides Shirley and the Broadcast Demon, whose combat strength is guaranteed, Vicky herself is also a decent asset, especially since she will definitely spend most of her time by Shirley's side, which makes you feel at ease.
What might surprise you is that the inn has a wide variety of abilities, and most of them are demons who are good at mid- to long-range attacks.
Angel uses submachine guns more often, Hesker can fly and throw cards, and Cherry, who came to join the fun, is a master of mid-to-long-range combat as long as she doesn't hurt her own magic...
Besides these three truly lethal sinners and demons, you also briefly inquired about the roles of Pantheon and Nefertiti.
Sir Pantheon did seem to have some ability to command the battle, though with a touch of old-fashioned ostentation, but he at least didn't seem to be genuinely afraid of fighting.
Vicky thought it would be a bit difficult to expect him to fight, but you could at least think of him as an inventor, since he has an airship...
However, the airship was a huge target for the angels. You would rather he stay in the rear and command everyone in battle. After all, letting the inventor demon fight was already an act of paranoia.
And, do you agree or disagree with sending Nefertti to the battlefield?
You agree because you think Nefertiti is a decent assassin; you disagree because she and her guardian demon are completely uncontrollable (even beyond), like a firecracker that, once lit, will spiral into the sky if left unchecked.
...But now that things have come to this, every demon has to do their part.
Before stepping out of the shadows of the corridor, you will put all the items you need for tomorrow's battle, along with that booklet, into a brocade pouch and give it to Shirley, reminding her to remember to use them when she goes to battle tomorrow.
When Shirley hugged you tightly, you found it unusual that you couldn't smile at all.
At that moment, you felt like a worried and anxious old mother.
After all, tomorrow is truly the day we'll be on the battlefield; if you could fight the angels, that would be one thing, but you're just someone who can't inflict any damage, forced to wander around and act according to circumstances...
what?
Looking at Vicky's equally worried but forced smile for her lover, you gently pursed your lips, stretching your already unchanging thin lips into a short, straight line.
You can't directly participate in the battle, but you still have hundreds of ways to influence the situation; however, this is humiliating for your "position".
However, it must be said that you still harbor a strange curiosity or confusion about Heaven; because many of Heaven's actions are illogical or ambiguous.
Unlike hell, you know absolutely nothing about heaven.
In what you once said, you weren't just criticizing the system of Heaven; you also despised Hell... or rather, you simply couldn't understand the existence of the diode that is Heaven and Hell.
—When things become ridiculous or ridiculous to a certain extent, there is often a bigger force behind them.
You firmly believe this.
So here's the question: while you're struggling with appearances, who exactly is the cunning oriole behind everything...?
……
Just as you were thinking, Angel—
This spider sinner, who never compromises in silence, immediately interrupts your increasingly cautious (but dark) train of thought from just a few steps away with a tremendously loud voice.
"Hey!"
“Our chef—if you ask me! Your brow is so furrowed it could crush Baphomet, right?”
"Come on! Let's go crazy one last time. Who knows who might kick the bucket tomorrow?"
"Come on, cheer up! I can ask our plush kitten to give you a shot of 'depth bomb' to see how deep you are!"

Okay, so it seems like if I keep owing chapters like this, everyone's wish to see me update like crazy will come true. I'm done for. Fast forward to my 10-chapter update in one go!
