Chapter 60: Even Demons Have Little Angels!

Ever since Eve arrived in Chaldea City, her worldview had been constantly shattered.

Not to mention the demi-humans everywhere—she had even encountered quite a few demons.

Her attention remained highly focused at all times, staying on guard in case the demons suddenly went berserk and attacked her and Alexia.

“Relax a little, it’s fine.”

“Chaldea is a city of peace—malicious fighting is forbidden here.”

Seeing Eve’s tense expression, Alexia walked over and spoke with concern.

“Mm, mm. But demons are cunning and treacherous—we still have to be careful!”

Eve frowned, glaring fiercely at a passing demon.

The latter was startled by her sharp gaze and quickly hurried away.

Alexia watched this and shook her head slightly, thinking Eve was too rigid.

But then again, among the saintesses—aside from the Flower Saintess Sevia, who rarely went to the battlefield—who wasn’t rigid?

As Alexia led Eve into the campus, they happened to run into Yiluo, who was wearing her Chaldea Academy uniform and heading out to find Keke.

“Wow! Miss Yiluo in her school uniform—so beautiful!”

Alexia’s eyes lit up as she gave Yiluo the highest praise in her heart.

She immediately ran over to flatter her.

“Ah! My dear best friend, Miss Yiluo!”

“This uniform suits you perfectly—it highlights your figure and beauty so well. You look even more pure and radiant!”

Yiluo gave Alexia a deadpan look.

“Hey… who exactly are you mocking?”

If Alexia didn’t always have that lovestruck expression, her pure appearance and stunning figure would definitely surpass Yiluo’s.

In short, Alexia completely failed at flattering this time—she stepped right onto Yiluo’s sore spot.

“And this is… your best friend?”

Eve, who had been following behind Alexia, quickly stepped forward and stood beside her.

She looked Yiluo up and down, silently admiring her appearance and temperament.

However…

Although it wasn’t obvious, why did she feel a faint demonic aura from her…?

And yet, despite that aura, she also felt an inexplicable sense of closeness—like she wanted to approach her.

The last person who made her feel this way…

Was her senior, the Shield Saintess Nelissa Victoria.

Eve did not recognize that Yiluo was actually Alice—the very Witch of Evil she had come to eliminate.

“This is?”

“Yiluo, Yiluo, let me introduce you! This is Eve, the current Sword Saintess of the Holy Church. She came to Chaldea City to eliminate the Witch of Evil.”

“Hehe, oh right—this is confidential, okay?”

“And look—this is Eve’s sword, Silver Moon Radiance. Isn’t it beautiful? Do you want to see it? It would definitely look even better on you than on me!”

Yiluo froze slightly upon hearing this.

She glanced at Alexia, who looked completely innocent, as if she knew nothing.

Alexia’s status was even above that of a Saintess—she had underestimated her before.

And perhaps… Alexia had already seen through her identity.

But then…

Why was she helping her?

With just a few sentences, Yiluo reassessed Alexia in her mind, raising her danger level even higher.

Walking up to Eve, Yiluo suddenly clasped her hands lightly in front of her chest.

Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she spoke excitedly.

“Wow! You’re the Sword Saintess, Sister Eve!”

“My name is Yiluo—I’m so happy to meet you. You’re my idol!”

“You came to Chaldea to eliminate the Witch of Evil, right?”

“The Witch of Evil being here… that’s so terrifying!”

“Sister Eve, good luck! You’ll definitely succeed—kill that unforgivable demon!”

Yiluo instantly transformed into Eve’s biggest fangirl.

Eve, who had still been cautiously observing her, suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly said,

“This is a top-secret mission—we should keep a low profile.”

Yiluo immediately covered her mouth and nodded rapidly.

“Mm! Mm!”

Seeing Yiluo’s pure and adorable reaction, Eve couldn’t help but feel she had been overthinking.

After all, she was Alexia’s best friend—how could she be suspicious?

Still, she asked one question.

“Miss… are you of demonic descent?”

Yiluo’s expression instantly changed.

She turned her face slightly, half-covering it, her eyes narrowing faintly as her long lashes trembled.

She looked as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

“My mother was once a princess…”

“She was brave and fought on the battlefield against the brutal demons…”

“But unfortunately, she was captured… and after finally escaping, she discovered…”

“Mm…!!”

As she spoke, crystal-clear tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

Her fragile, pitiful appearance made Eve’s heart ache instantly.

In her mind, countless tragic images formed—

Yiluo’s mother being abused…

Yiluo growing up ostracized…

What a poor child.

Eve hurried forward to comfort her.

“Don’t be sad, little sister Yiluo. You cannot choose your birth. Study well at Chaldea Academy, and in the future, go to the battlefield and punish those hateful demons!”

“I, Eve, will never spare a single evil demon!”

Yiluo turned her face slightly, her eyes still red, speaking softly.

“But… I also have half demon blood…”

Eve shook her head firmly.

“I can tell that you are kind, little sister Yiluo. Don’t worry—while I’m here, I’ll make sure you’re safe. And I trust Miss Alexia’s judgment as well!”

At that moment, Alexia leaned in and hugged the “pitiful” Yiluo from the side.

“My poor best friend—boohoo!”

Yiluo shot her a glance, then casually pushed away the opportunistic Alexia.

Turning back to Eve, she said,

“Thank you, Sister Eve. I will work hard to become stronger and eliminate those hateful demons.”

Eve looked at Yiluo and thought—

What a good child.

She nodded.

“Don’t worry—you definitely can. I’ll always be your strongest support!”

“With Sister Eve’s encouragement, I definitely can!”

Yiluo pressed her lips together, her expression firm.

“Sister Eve, you’ve defeated so many powerful demons and beasts… may I take a look at your Silver Moon Radiance?”

By now, Eve had completely accepted Yiluo as a kind, determined girl with a tragic background and hatred toward demons.

How could she possibly refuse?

“Of course—it’s fine.”

Yiluo immediately grabbed Eve’s hands with both of hers and stepped closer.

Looking up at her with sparkling eyes, she asked,

“Really? But I have demon blood… wouldn’t that taint it?”

“…Maybe I shouldn’t…”

“Being able to be friends with Miss Alexia… meeting Sister Eve… that’s already enough…”

She lowered her gaze.

Eve thought Yiluo was far too innocent.

That longing yet guilty expression made her want to pat her head to comfort her—

But since both her hands were holding bags of blood desserts, she could only soften her tone.

“It’s alright. As long as you remember in your heart that you are human, how could it be considered tainting?”

“This sword has been with me since childhood… otherwise, seeing your determination, I might have even given it to you.”

“Thank you so much, Sister Eve!”

With Eve’s permission, Yiluo took the sword from Alexia.

She examined it carefully, then hung it at her waist.

Turning around, she walked in a few small circles in front of Eve, asking happily,

“Sister Eve, do I look like a warrior who can slay demons?”

“Wow! Miss Yiluo looks amazing—it suits you perfectly!” Alexia jumped in to answer first—

And was completely ignored.

Eve smiled at Yiluo’s joyful expression.

“Yes—you really do.”

Indeed, Yiluo’s slender figure and height of about 1.55 meters made the heavily armored Holy Ring of Divine Punishment look mismatched on her.

But Silver Moon Radiance—with its slender blade and elegant design—perfectly complemented her appearance and aura.

“Thank you, Sister Eve. Let me take you to my dorm to rest for a while.”

“Mm, alright. Let’s rest a bit first.”

Eve found herself unable to refuse Yiluo and agreed.

In her heart, she sighed—

Miss Yiluo truly was a little angel.

She had not yet realized…

That her Silver Moon Radiance, now in the hands of this “little angel”…

Was as good as gone.
