Chapter 319: Weird Rtionship


    Seven Sins System Chapter 319. Weird Rtionship


    Aria''s determined gaze remained fixed on me. "She needs it more than I do, you know!" She sounded somewhat exasperated, as if my apparentck of empathy frustrated her.


    My cringe factor escted further. "Right. Whatever," I replied in an offhand manner, turning away from her and ambling toward my bed. It was bing increasingly evident that she would be left to fend for herself until her next paycheck rolled in.


    "Since everything has settled..." I continued, pausing for a moment as I reached my bed. "You can go back to your room now. I have work to do this morning," I added, gesturing toward the exit to signal that our conversation hade to an end, at least for now.


    Without a word, Aria swiftly used her teleportation skill, vanishing from my room. I couldn''t help but be taken aback.''Oh, she obeyed,''I thought to myself in surprise. That was certainly good news, considering the rather heated exchange we''d had earlier.


    I fell onto the bed and couldn''t help but drift into contemtion. My mind pondered the consequences of the rtionship between a devil and a goddess. The very idea of us, two opposing forces, entwined, made me shiver in disgust.


    I knew our union could potentially challenge or even disrupt the bnce of this world. I wondered about the repercussions, the turmoil that might ensue. After all, my mere existence already a problem.


    With the potent power of the legendary demon coursing through my veins, I was akin to a ticking time bomb, an unpredictable entity that could detonate at any given moment.


    But yeah, I wouldn''t say no for a business cooperation.''I''ll think about itter,''I thought as I closed my eyes.


    -----


    The morning light filtered through the curtains. With my usual routine, I rose from my bed and geared up for my daily exercise. This time, however, there was a change in the air. Since our identities were nowid bare, there was no need to avoid each other anymore.


    With a sense of liberation, I opted for a run in the yard instead of heading to the gym. I pounded the familiar path beneath my feet, my thoughts wandered, and I couldn''t help but anticipate our encounter. It wasn''t long before our paths converged, the rhythmic thud of our footsteps syncing together as we jogged side by side.


    Aria broke the silence with a polite but pointed greeting.


    "Morning, Dr. Allen," she emphasized at ''Dr.Allen'' words, her tone carrying a subtle challenge.


    I chuckled under my breath, acknowledging the unspoken message in her words. "Morning, Aria, the prodigy pdin," I replied, mirroring her emphasis with a wry smile.


    She snorted in annoyance. "What''s your n for today?" she asked.


    I shot her a sidelong nce, yfully raising an eyebrow. "Why are you asking me? Do you have a crush on me?" I teased, pretending to be utterly disgusted by the notion.


    Her response was an exasperated re. "Don''t tter yourself," she retorted. "You said the cult had their eyes on you, right? So yeah, I''ll act as your closest friend and make them put their eyes on me too."


    I grumbled in mock annoyance, rolling my eyes to the side as I continued jogging. "Right, I forgot about that," I admitted. "I feel like I''m being taken advantage of," I muttered.


    Aria shot back with a quick retort, a wry smirk ying on her lips. "That should be my line," she countered.


    I couldn''t help but chuckle. "Touche," I admitted, shaking my head in amusement. Turning my gaze to the other side, I caught sight of the trio lurking behind a sizable tree. They wore sly smiles and yfully raised their thumbs, teasing me.


    I took a deep breath, feeling the trio''s watchful eyes on me. "Yeah, they''re definitely keeping tabs," I mumbled to myself, though I was certain the trio''s intentions were more geared toward spreading juicy gossip than anything else.


    Suddenly, without warning, Aria wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug. She spoke sincerely as if her words warm and genuine. "Thank you for sharing everything with me," she said, her voice filled with appreciation.


    I took a surprised step back from Aria, bewildered by her sudden hug. "What the heck?! Have your brain broken?" I protested, caught off guard by her unexpected affection.


    She shot me an irritated look. "You said they were watching you," she hissed in frustration as if her actions werepletely justified.


    "Yes. My students. Not the cult members!" I emphasized, frustration evident in my voice.


    "Tch!" Aria clicked her tongue, clearly annoyed. "So you''re just taking a chance," she remarked, her gaze sweeping over me from head to toe.


    "That should be my line," I retorted, my irritation growing. At this rate, I felt like transforming back into my demonic form and facing off with her right here. Why did she keep getting under my skin?


    "Then you should stop saying something ambiguous next time," Aria defended herself.


    "It''s you who should stop making arbitrary assumptions," I retorted.


    As we were locked in a heated exchange, John suddenly approached us.


    "Morning, you two," he said with a friendly grin.


    Aria and I both jumped in surprise. We greeted him back with a somewhat flustered. "Morning."


    To my astonishment, Aria quickly snuggled up to me, linking her arm through mine. She was putting on quite a show, pretending to be enamored with me. I shot her a sideways nce but decided to y along for now.
