Seven Sins System Chapter 169. Hang Out With My Nemesis I

He answered me by shaking his head from side to side, indicating that he didn't have it.

"Do you want to talk about your problem? Maybe, I can help," I said, my voice filled with concern and compassion.

Again, he answered me by shaking his head, refusing to open up to me.

I couldn't help but feel frustrated. His answers were not very helpful and it felt like I was talking to an idiot. But I knew that this was a normal reaction for someone in his position and I was guessing that the cult didn't want him to say too much.

"It seems you're not ready to tell me yet. It doesn't matter. Take your time and come to me when you are ready," I said, trying to play the role of a good doctor. I let out another sigh as I stood up. "Okay, then I'll take you to your dorm."

"Thank you, doc. But I'm fine. I can walk by myself," John finally found his voice. He also stood up from his seat.

"Are you sure?" I asked, wanting to make sure he was okay before leaving him alone.

"Yes. My mind is clearer after talking to you. Thank you. I'm going back to my dorm now," he replied, a small smile crossing his face.

"Okay. Your name is John, right? From Theo's team?" I asked, announcing to the cult that I know him.

He answered me with a nod, confirming his identity.

I gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Calm yourself down and take a rest. Good night," I said, my voice filled with genuine care and concern.

With that, I turned and left, my mind racing with thoughts and questions about what had just happened and what my next move should be.

For sure, I had to deal with the demons first. But since I didn't know their exact location, I decided to go where John had come from. I was sure that his summoning hadn't worked that well, as my system hadn't detected anything yet. Maybe he had only managed to summon a couple of low-level demons. But even so, I knew that I had to take care of it, as their presence indicated that the shadow realm had violated the agreement.

My feet moved swiftly towards the academy's gate, but just as I was about to reach it, a woman's voice stopped me in my tracks. "Hi, doc. What are you doing here?"

From that voice, I immediately recognized who she was.

Swiftly, I turned to her and forced a smile. "Good evening, Miss Angel," I said, my voice filled with fake cheer. My eyes caught Aria, who was wearing a turtleneck long-sleeve shirt and short pants. A sweet smile on her face showed her happiness when she saw me.

She approached me with light steps, her eyes shining with excitement. "Where are you going?" she asked as if she had just found her playmate.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Why did she look so happy? But I held back my cringe and tried to come up with a reasonable excuse. "Uh, I want to buy dinner. I heard a bakery down the street is on sale, so I want to check it out," I quickly reasoned. A perfect excuse for my sudden departure. I had accidentally seen the fliers in the academy trash when I showed Aria around this morning and remembered that the bakery was in the same direction that John had come from.

"Oh, can I come with you? I need to buy some for my breakfast. My fridge is still empty, so I also need to buy my dinner and some groceries," she added, her voice filled with enthusiasm.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of annoyance. In other words, she needed a servant to accompany her and helped her with her groceries. But I couldn't refuse her. As a good mortal friend of an angel, I should be happy to have a strong friend like her.

"Sure, I don't mind a companion," I said, trying to keep my tone light and friendly. This was a good opportunity to lure her to the place where John had summoned the demons. By doing so, I could raise her trust in me.

We walked out of the academy gate and down the street, which was still filled with people and vehicles. The hustle and bustle of the city was a stark contrast to the dark sky.

"Anyway, what are you planning to buy?" Aria asked me as we walked side by side. "I plan to buy croutons for salad and rosemary wheat bread for my lunch."

"I don't know. Anything that's on sale is fine," I answered nonchalantly, trying to keep up the facade. In reality, my brain was working hard to guess where John had done the summoning. I tried to remember every alley and empty place where he could have done it. Since the dark energy of the summoning formation would scare people, he should have done it in a quiet place. I was pretty sure of it since I hadn't heard any panic.

'Maybe the park?' I guessed, thinking of the small public park nearby. Since it was meant for children, the playground should be empty now. It was a suitable place to make a summons.

I was deep in thought, but Aria's voice broke my thoughts.

"You are surely a simple-minded person, aren't you?" Aria smiled at me, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Simply follow the flow."

Desperately, I forced a smile, trying to hide the frustration I felt at her words. 'You are the simple-minded one here. I'm thinking about our enemies and you're thinking about your food!' Unfortunately, I couldn't voice my complaint. Instead, I replied, "I will take that as a compliment."

"It is a compliment. I didn't mean to offend you at all," Aria emphasized, her voice filled with sincerity.

"I'm flattered by that," I replied, trying to keep my tone sober and level. But inside, I couldn't help but feel a sense of annoyance.
