Chapter 347: The Devil's Got A Date With His Workload
Seven Sins System 347. The Devil's Got A Date With His Workload
Puriel's eyes widened once again, clearly struggling to process the information. "Once a month?" she exclaimed, her disbelief palpable.
"Yeah," I replied casually, leaning against the wall. "They're demons, not mortals. What makes you think it takes a full nine months for a little demon bundle of joy to be born perfectly?" I raised an eyebrow, amused by her reaction. With a snap of my fingers, two Elixirs of Life flew into my hands.
"But—!" she started to protest, only to be interrupted as I handed her the elixirs. "Less talking, more work. We've got to get back to the academy," I said with a hint of annoyance, shooting her a pointed glare.
Puriel, still wearing that sour expression, reluctantly took the elixirs from me. A sharp whistle escaped her lips, and in no time, her magical puppet-like creation approached.
"Give these to the kids and take them to school. Then, escort them back to the orphanage, stating that you're incapable of caring for them due to a severe illness."
The puppet acknowledged the order with a nod and promptly set off to carry out Puriel's deceptive plan.
'Wow... nice lies,' I thought. I couldn't help but be amused. A goddess resorting to lies and manipulations to manage the situation—now, that's a sight I don't witness every day. I suppressed a chuckle.
With a mischievous grin, I turned to Puriel. "You've got the rest under control, right? The devil's got a date with his workload," I declared, accompanied by an annoyingly cheery wave. The portal to my dormitory materialized behind me.
