Obsession

"Excuse me, how can I help you, Miss?"

"Who are you?"

The woman was amazed to see a tall man with the most beautiful face she had ever seen in her life. It was so beautiful, his eyes almost didn't blink.

"I am a doctor looking for my patient who is suffering from a strange delusional disease and it seems I found him!"

"W-who do you mean?"

"This woman with you, she is my patient!"

"Him? Your patient?"

"Can I take him, today he hasn't taken his medicine and needs a rabies shot!"

"W-what? Oh no! No wonder she said there was a man nearby, even though there wasn't anyone. Turns out she's really gone crazy, huh?"

"Still in the stage of mental illness, his family had given up hope of dealing with him, that's why they handed him over to me!"

"Oh my, but I lost 200 pounds."

"I happened to lose my wallet in the car, this is my telephone number. You can contact me, I will replace the money you lost. How about it?"

"Okay, but can I ask you something?"

"Of course! A beautiful woman like you can ask anything!"

"Hmm... may I know your name?" The woman asked while showing a seductive gesture by puffing out her chest. She smiled sweetly and continued to stare at Leviathan intensely.

"Levi, you can call me Levi." He said while extending his hand for a shake.

"Okay, Doctor Levi. Can I consult you about mental health problems? It just so happens that I often feel anxious lately. Maybe I'm a little lonely because I just divorced my husband."

"Of course, you can consult anything. I'm ready to serve you. Then see you? Come on, Edelweiss. Let's go back to the hospital!" He said as he took Edelweiss' hand and took her away to a quiet and safer place. Meanwhile the woman continued to wave her hands until they were no longer visible to her eyes.

"Tch, what was that? I thought you were going to help me by using the power of the devil. Turns out it was just a typical scammer's play!"

"Why are you protesting? You should be grateful that I saved you. Besides, why would I bother using my powers just to help a woman like you?"

"Hey, just so you know, this all happened because of your fault. You were the one who stole the woman's wallet, but instead I was accused of being a thief and was considered a mental hospital patient. You are really going too far!"

"Who told you to interfere in my affairs? I am a devil, I steal, cheat and kill even though no one has the right to stop me!"

"Just do whatever you want to do, but don't do it near me and don't involve me. Besides, I told you not to follow me when I was outside, but instead you came into the cafe and sat near my table. What the hell? you're obsessed with me, aren't you?"

"Obsessed with you? Why would I be obsessed with an ugly woman with big breasts like you? If I had to be obsessed with a woman, I would definitely choose that woman or your friend's girlfriend!"

"Hey, I'm not ugly, I'm quite beautiful and my breasts are only 34F, you know there are still women with bigger breasts. So don't call me big breasts!"

"Oh, so your chest is called 34F, huh?"

"Hey, why are you thinking about the size of my breasts? You perverted devil! Just don't follow me when I'm on campus or when I'm with my friends, you understand?"

"So when you're home alone, can I follow you?"

Edelweiss was silent, Leviathan looked at her gently. I don't know what the look in his eyes and the question meant. But clearly, it was enough to calm the anger in Edelweiss's heart.

"Please don't be like that again!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I have to go back to the cafe. My friends will be waiting for me."

"What about the boy? Is he okay?"

"You must know, right? Why are you asking again?"

"I just want to hear it from you!"

"He's fine, he's starting to recover and he's eating well. Ryan has reported the case against him to the police. The police will look for his parents and in the meantime he will be looked after by social service officers."

"Oh, I see?"

"He was very happy and kept telling me about how you saved him. You fought off two criminals who kidnapped him like Batman. He wanted to thank you, but I told him that you couldn't come to see him anymore because you are a guardian angel."

"Why are you lying? Just tell him the truth that I am a devil."

"I learned from a devil like you that it's okay if there are little lies. As long as it makes him happy, I'm happy too. Children believe that there are superheroes who will help. But I also want them to believe that the only one who can be helpers are not only super heroes, but there are other creatures whose presence they cannot always see and feel. These creatures are called guardian angels."

"I'm impressed by your generosity, but I'm not an angel, Edelweiss. I'm a devil and instead of helping a child, more humans have died in my hands."

"He gave you a parting gift, I put it on the dining table. He hopes to give the gift to you in person."

"I'm not interested in a gift from a kid."
