Seven Sins System Chapter 429. Come And Go Like A Ghost
Penelope had a way of seeing through my deception that few others did, and that alone made her a valuable asset.
Technically, I could bring her to my realm. I had done it before with others, bringing mortals across the divide for various reasons.
But then, I reminded myself of my principles. I wasn't interested in bringing mortals who didn't have major sins into my realm to be punished prematurely, especially not for personal reasons. I was a devil, not a lowly demon. My actions were driven by logic and strategy, not by mere instinct or base desires.
I realized that Penelope's dinner invitation could be an opportunity to gauge her more closely.
Perhaps, after the dinner, I would have a clearer understanding of whether she was someone worth bringing into my realm.
I shifted my gaze to the schedule in my hand, scanning the list of tasks and appointments.
My eyes caught on a particular note about a mission and Puriel's test scheduled for next week. That made me pause, my smirk fading and being replaced by a grim expression.
I started to wonder what the academy, the trio, and everyone else would do if I left next week. The reality hit me hard.
'Right... I might not even have time to attend all those events,' I thought.
Even if I could visit the mortal realm again, it wouldn't be as Dr. Allen. That identity would be lost, and with it, the connections and commitments I had made.
I gritted my teeth.
"Tch!" I clicked my tongue in annoyance, realizing yet again how attached I had become to this mortal realm.
'What's wrong with me? Has this realm bleached my mind that far?' I thought, throwing the schedule onto my desk.
A deep frown etched itself onto my forehead. Seriously, I didn't like this. I didn't like how I found myself more excited about events here than those in my own realm.
I should be anticipating Asmo's birthday. It was a significant event, a time when the Lords of Sin gathered.
Normally, I would be eager for such an occasion.
But here I was, more interested in the two mortal events listed on my schedule.
It was absurd, almost laughable.
How could I, a devil of considerable power and influence, be more invested in the mundane affairs of mortals?
I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling. The attachment I felt to this place was unsettling.
- Ring!
The classroom bell rang. Students and teachers rushed towards their classrooms. There were always a few stragglers.
I waited, listening to the frantic footsteps gradually diminish. The temporary chaos subsided, leaving a more controlled, orderly environment.
Once the sounds of footsteps faded into the background and the halls were relatively still, I allowed myself to relax a bit. It was time to get on with my usual routine.
With a practiced motion, my tentacles emerged from my back.
My hand reached for the list of medicines, my eyes scanning the inventory as I began my task. The tentacles moved efficiently, gliding from one medicine shelf to another, checking and restocking as necessary.
"You should stop using your tentacles to do your work," Puriel's voice suddenly emerged from one of the infirmary beds.
Without even glancing, I knew she had just arrived using her teleportation skills.
I scoffed, not bothering to look up. "I don't want to receive complaints from a goddess who come and go like a ghost," I sneered, my tone dripping with sarcasm.
My eyes remained fixed on the list in my hand, and my other hand held a pen, busy marking off items as my tentacles continued their work.
