Chapter 139 - 24: Between Black and White (2) (Second Update)
The atmosphere was getting a bit awkward.
Vivian blinked her eyes and looked at Gray, stammering, and after a long while, she finally said, "You... you’re saying ’thank you’ to me?"
"Yes," Gray replied softly.
"All right, I get it. You mean a Holy Knight won’t repay a favor to a demon, right? I get it. I wasn’t asking for a favor from you either."
"But I was only saying thank you, nothing else."
"You don’t have to worry about me asking you to repay a favor. Let’s be honest, the Demon Lord hopes your existence can divide the church, creating two church factions with different principles on this continent. So... I have to protect your holy faith and ensure your identity is not exposed. It’s my mission, I would never ask you to repay a favor."
"But I was only saying thank you."
"Don’t you get it?" Vivian shouted, "I’m telling you that you don’t even need to say thank you to me!"
"But I still feel I should thank you," Gray looked at the agitated Vivian and said in a soft voice.
Suddenly, as if it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, Vivian’s nose twitched, her eyes turned red, and tears started to fall.
The black cat was dumbfounded.
