Special Chapter 3
After that, I bid her goodbye and gave the contract to the department. Then, as soon as I finished writing a report, I went to the Afterlif Inn to ask something. But while going there, I met Gavin on the way.
"So you're going to Madam Seraphina too? Let's go together, bud! " He happily uttered this while trying his best to get close to me. Of all the grim reapers working for the ministry of death, only he has the courage to talk to me. Maybe it is because I am a fallen angel and they are only punished humans serving in the ministry. But, what's with Gavin really?
However, I chose not to be bothered by his presence and went on to my planned destination. As I entered Miss Seraphina's office, she was throwing report papers again.
"What are the two of you doing here? I am not even inviting any of you!'' She angrily greets me, and I am not bothered at all. But someone behind me is trembling with fear.
"My apology for the intrusion, but I am here to ask a personal question that only you can answer." When the Death Compiler hears my reason, she turns her gaze to Gavin.
"How about you, little boy?" What we are seeing in her right now is a strict 40-year-old woman.
"I-I am here for another mission." Gavin's muddled utterance
"Oh, I remember that I called you here." She then picked up a black envelope on the table and gave it to Gavin. At that moment, Gavin immediately ran outside. I just shook my head.
"So, Saint, what is it?"
"I'd like to know why Mary Sean is a guardian of the soul but appears oblivious to her role."
According to my memory, a guardian of the soul is born with knowledge of her role. But Mary Sean appears to have no idea what it entails. If I don't have knowledge about it, it will be difficult for me to work with her. So, before anything else, I need to know this.
"Hmm, it's either she forcefully erased it in her mind or she wasn't really the original holder of the role." That's the questionable answer of the Death Compiler to me that lingers in my mind up to this day.
"Are you okay, Hailey?"As the car came to a halt outside the gate of a mansion, Dr. Charles Perelman asked the Guardian of Soul. He's the one who is currently in the driver's seat of the car where we are now. At that moment, I could sense how uncomfortable Sean was, so I offered to answer.
"Don't worry doc, she's fine. She's just kind of nervous, right babe? " I try my best to act the way the owner of this body is, as I hold her hand. Actually, it isn't necessary to do this, but I did it as if I was enjoying it. Working in the ministry of death as a grim reaper for the past few years has taught me that what humans call "this feeling" right now is "enjoying."
The Guardian of Soul rolled her eyes and tried to break my grip, but I didn't let her, or rather, I couldn't let her.
Am I really doing this because I am afraid that she might run away, or am I doing this for my own agenda?
Whom am I fooling? He is a grim reaper, so he is stronger than me.
It's a good thing she knew.
When she looked at me, annoyed, I just smiled at her. A smile that made her frown.
It's creeping me out.
As I heard that, in her mind, I silently sighed. Am I annoyed too? Is that what I am feeling at the moment?
"Looks like my sister is irritated with you being clingy for today, my brother-in-law." Hazel, Hailey's sister, seemed thrilled to be watching us from the passenger seat.
"Is that true, babe?" I tried to sound like I was sulking, but her lips quivered because of that.
Can I beat this evil spirit?
I'm warning you: I can hear what you're thinking.
I had already warned her this time.
Yeah!
She pretended to explain in a somber voice, "I'm sorry b-babe, I'm just... you know, too tired." I couldn't help but smile.
"Is that so?" I asked. "Then we should go inside immediately. Hurry baby, let's go! " I can feel how her muscles almost trembled when I called her "baby".
Okay! I am getting annoyed.
Damn this Grim Reaper. He is terrifying me.
Are you testing my temper?
She stopped right there.
"Yeah!" After that, we went to the Perelman Mansion. But it seemed like the Guardian of Soul was tired on spending her whole day with me, so as early as shecould, she bid megoodbye.
"No, thanks dad. I will just take a rest. I'm kind of dizzy. " She then looked at me. "You should rest too, babe. Good night. Let's just see each other tomorrow. "
So, at that point, I didn't have a choice but to go. Yet, she can't get rid of me that easily. Using the car of Albus that Mr. Perelman was driving a while ago, I drove down to the alley where no one would see me. There I got out of Albus' body, thinking that it would ease the feeling of being annoyed. I was thinking that having emotions is a consequence of using this goddamn body. Yet, I am really annoyed at how Sean is treating me right there without a concrete reason. So, before I could even think about it, I had already teleported back to Sean, right in her room.
I saw how she sighed deeply in relief after lying on the bed, and it made me so annoyed.
"Seems like you are irritated with my presence, babe?" She almost jumped when she heard me, but I just sat with Hailey, the owner of Sean's body, in a queen-size bed.
Okay, just calm down, Sean! Calm down.
Now she's afraid? What the hell? And why the hell am I so annoyed for that reason? It's not as if it's new; she was like that from the first day up to now. But, why can't I help but get mad? Seriously, what's wrong with me?
"You! Can you not use your dark powers on me every time you pretend to be Albus Wesley? " There she shouted. I couldn't help but furrow my brow.
"Dark Powers? What the hell? " I said emphatically. After almost 3, 000 years of living as the angel of time in heaven and years of being a grim reaper, this is the first time someone has insulted my abilities.
"Don't you know the annoying word? I can now introduce you, "she sarcastically uttered. "I get irritated every time you say something with your ability. I'm not used to it. At least I'm still human and---"
"Rule No. 3."I warned.
That's it. He won.
When I heard her thoughts, I sighed, but she then threw something at me from the side table. I couldn't think of any reason why she did that, even though she knew that it would only pass through me.
"What was that?"
"I hate you!" she glared at me. So I looked at her, amazed.
I hate him.
"I will kill you now!" she threatened, while looking at me badly. I was about to ask her when she rushed me. Then, right there, Sean hit me and immediately threw a punch. That's when my hat was removed, and I got hit in the face.
"Oh my gosh!"
"Fuck!"
What the hell is wrong with this woman?
However, when I was about to complain about what she did, she started praising me in her mind.
Why has this Grim Reaper become so beautiful in my eyes right now? Damn it!
While looking at myself in that position, I can't bear not to look at her either. Like I said, we grim reapers see the soul, not the body of the beholder. Looking at the Guardian of Soul this close, I can see how beautiful she was.
When she was about to get up, I smiled. She was a bit surprised when I squeezed her waist and laid down on the bed. Now, she's below me. At that point, I felt her nervousness.
"Hey! W-what? " I smiled even more when I heard her stagger. "Let me go! Please! I'm sorry okay, I won't do it again, I swear! " But instead of letting her go, I pulled her closer and whispered in her ear.
"Better do something with your beating heart, babe. Remember the rules. "Dating is prohibited." I teasingly said. There, her cheeks became red.
Oh my gosh! What the hell is he talking about?
She was about to scold me when I swapped our positions. Now she was on top of me. Looking at her, I remember my little brother. My only human brother, named Adam, and how he was in love with his human wife, Eve. That memory takes me back to the time when I was watching them from above, looking at each other in the same way that Sean and I are right now.
Suddenly, I smiled at her as if to bid her goodbye.
"Sleep tight Sean, sweet dreams, "then I kissed her forehead and softly caressed her cheeks as I decided to go back to the car because I couldn't take my emotions anymore. Seeing her, holding her and kissing her forehead is beyond my control. If I stay a bit longer, I may add a sin to pay. Angels aren't supposed to feel anything other than glorifying their father in heaven. But in the glimpse of my memories a while ago, as I watched Adam and Eve, I felt envy. And as I did the same thing to Sean, I felt happy and contented.
