I nod at the Devil. “And will you be willing to do what I say during the daytime, if you know that you can punish me for my insolence at night?”
“I will agree to no such bargain as a compact… but, I might find it not too disagreeable to conduct myself in that fashion.”
Seriously, what are these words coming from my mouth?!
Well, I'd better not let myself think about that. I can't allow my most precious night to be canceled again.
I lie down in the bed, turning on my side so I don't see the Devil watching, and wrapping the sheets around myself. “There's no way I'm going to fall asleep naturally in this state of waiting, so feel free to invoke the powers of Sloth on me.” I snuggle into the blankets, resisting the temptation to press the cloth between my legs. “And to avoid the possibility of confusion, I'll ask this outright: Did I understand correctly that since I'm above the Devil, I'll eventually become the supreme figure of Hell?”
“If you became more evil than I, there would be no contradiction in the hierarchy.”
To be honest, that strikes me as…
…incredibly awesome! But I refrain from saying that aloud, in case it might hurt the Devil's feelings.
I wonder if owning someone's soul would interact with romantic attraction, in either direction? If my life is already this messed up, I wouldn't mind going further.
Maybe I'll have gathered more information on that possibility after tonight.
“Good night, Angel.”
The Angel's voice is sad again. “I don't think it will be.”
“Good night, Satan Lucifuge Asmodei Ahriman Moloch Melkor Leviathan.”
“Good night, Yugano Yuuki. Sweet dreams.”
