(AN: hello! Uh, how to put this. Ummm, lately I've been feeling quite a bit discouraged from writing this story due to exams, work and mainly, I don't know if you're still enjoying the story.

Yes, this might sound cliché or stupid for some, but this has actually begun to worry me.

As such, I wish to ask.

What are you expecting from this story?

I want to know what you are looking forwards so I can bring it. I am currently unsure of where to take the story next, so I'm in great need of these responses.

I'm thankful to those who comprehend my insecurities and leave me some feedback or recommendations ;3;)//

Anyways, here's the chapter!)

"H-hello my honored d-demon Empress"

"..."

I was left speechless as probably the most innocent and flustered words left that strange, familiar angel's mouth...

I had obviously been quite triggered and shocked by the fact Boukyaku had simply disappeared from my hands. But, frankly, I knew inside me, that despite all efforts, the sword would be returning to me in just over an hour if I didn't pay attention to it.

She seemed so similar physically, yet the moment she opened her mouth to utter her sentence, the entire image I currently held of her, and all the anxiety that had been welling up inside immediately faded away as what was before me completely contradicted any and all beliefs I had been keeping up to this point.

Yet, despite all of the evidence going hardly straight against my beliefs, a part of me told me, this was her... This had to be that dirty angel who had gotten me into so much trouble in the past...

As such, despite the hard evidence, I asked sharply while remaining wary of her every move.

"Have we met before?"

I, of course, asked with the utmost seriousness while holding back any hint of emotion that might give away my confusion. And as such, I was expecting a serious answer such as a simple no or a perhaps an evil yes, with this angel being a demon general and all.

But, of course, this world is seriously messed up anywhere you look, because rather than giving me a serious answer, this girl decided to get flustered again while answering like an embarrassed highschool girl in love.

"M-m-met with the D-d-demon empress before?! N-no, I haven't had the h-h-honor"

...

'You have to be kidding me'

Yes, I know I liked Sakura at some point, and she pretty much acted a tiny bit similar, but this?! THIS?! Seriously! This is a demon general?!

Why would a person like Callum not steamroll these demons if a demon general is this clueless!?

Seriously, if this is a demon general, why hasn't the human army steamrolled these demons yet?

I was left in utter confusion as I could only think and wonder what could possibly be the thing keeping the humans from storming this place...

...

'Oh yeah, I guess I'll use [Master Appraisal] now. I don't want to take anymore unwanted surprises after all'

I got myself ready to chant [Master Appraisal] on everyone present and consequently, silently chanted my skill:

...

"Wah?"

...

...

...

"Again, wah?!"

...

...

...

'I did not see that properly right...?

...

...

...

I just squinted my eyes as I double checked all of the numbers in the transparent screens before me. And what I found was surely enough to send me into a state of deep shock.

"Wut...?"

I tried rubbing my eyes, looking from a different angle, and even chanting again, yet the same ludicrous numbers kept popping up, over and over again.

...

Well, let's go over what I can wrap my mind around first before moving onto the mental rape.

For starters, I see that Myria hasn't gained new skills despite having a stupid increase in her stats, and as far as Scarlet goes, she is literally a powerhouse of Myria's calibre, right now...

I swear, their 1 level difference makes me think they're competing or something... In fact, hasn't that difference been getting smaller and smaller ever since I met them...?

Nah, it must be my imagination. I doubt they're competing in terms of strength... right?

Anyways, moving on from my friends and their sudden, incredibly absurd, power-up... We now take a look at my... ummm... "normal" power-up...?

...

Seriously, I'm just as strong as that Demon King Azazel, right now. Like seriously, when did I get this strong...?

*Sigh*

I really should've checked my friend's statuses as well as mine before. I would've probably managed to evade weird and stupefying situations like these...

Seriously though, I remember the time when all of my stats were literally 10, yet they're all over 30 million right now... Just where did my humanity go as well...

Hah, looking at my status always makes me depressed...

Honestly, there is just one thing saving me from complete depression right now...

...

'Could I make Scarlet... do Kinky things... with [Ultimate Demonic Control]...?'

...

Look, as I have said many times, I'm supposed to be a healthy teenage boy, ok? This is NA-TU-RAL, besides, I bet she wouldn't mind... right...?

...

To be honest, probably not...

...

Anyways! Moving onto the last and most ridiculous of discoveries that I have made today, was, of course, the most ridiculous out of all of them...

By far...

This angel, who spoke like a lovestruck highschool girl who had just talked to her idol in a private room, was in fact, far stronger than Myria and Scarlet...

...

This strange fallen angel named Amanda Imperia was truly no less than a mystery in all regards...

First of all, "age: N/A"?

I thought my skill could see through anything? Besides, this is the first time I've ever seen the N/A being used outside of my status?

I doubt she has any connection to Boukyaku, but... this strength...

It was honestly illogical, her titles, the amount of skills she had, the affinities which seemed to completely oppose each other...

Everything about her, from her looks to her status screamed suspicious to me...

First of all, why would a fallen angel serve as a demon general, and second, if this fallen angel was as strong as this, why would they ever work for a demon king who is just a little stronger than them? Seriously, with some outside help, this "Amanda Imperia" would've probably killed the poor guy.

In fact, I'm pretty sure it would've been far more brutal than our take on the kill, just look at those skills!

Any way you cut it, I was surprised. I couldn't have possibly fathom the strength of this strange angelical figure, and despite having clear evidence now laying before me, rather than having my curiosity lay dormant, my anxiety only grew as I could only speculate just who this strange angel was...

But, as I was still wondering and analyzing the data I had before me, there was one miiiiiiinooooooor concern...

*Pfffffffft* *Covered Chuckles* *Laughs*

Right now, I was still using my skill [Master Appraisal]...

...

If you do not remember why exactly this is an issue... Let's just say that the screens I see aren't actually there... and the facial expressions I make aren't exactly covered or censored either...

...

Yeah, I had been speaking to myself a little louder than I would've expected, as well as literally making the funniest facial expressions, all the while staring at a fixed point in mid-air...

...

...

...

Yeah, as I lifted my head from the, technically, non-existent screens... And as I managed to face the 3 people who I had in front of me, I could only sulk in embarrassment as I could very clearly picture...

Myria trying, and failing to contain her laughter...

A confused Amanda Imperia looking at me with undeserved concern...

And, of course, Scarlet simply looking at me with a smug smile on her face...

...

'Why do you do this to me world?'

And before I even had the chance to open my lips to try and explain myself, Scarlet virtually got me right where she wanted me...

"Impressive stats, am I right~?"

...

She obviously knew what I had just seen, and she had been expecting my reaction to go accordingly...

...

"You knew about this didn't you..?"

"Who knows, Reika-cha~n"

Yep, it was obvious she knew. Grom her smug to her teasing eyes, everything screamed to me she was the culprit.

I immediately wanted to call her out of it, and, of course, ask her just why this angel before us was so incredibly strong...

But, before I had a chance to do so, Myria happened to burst out laughing as hard as a ever, while tears of joy and laughter streamed down her face:

"HAHAHAHAHA Reika, what did you see in those boxes, huh? HAHAHAHA I know our skills and stats have enlarged quite a bit since the last time you checked, but that is no reason to be surprised that much. HAHAHA"

I turned in shock and awe once more as Myria, who is normally the most composed out of the three burst into laughter.

Also, based on what she said, she seems to not know about Amanda's power...?

I bet I must've had the weirdest of facial expressions for Myria to laugh this hard. Like, I had tried pulling some jokes with Myria before. But from what I could observe she would reply sarcastically or LITERALLY to every single one. Yet, she was laughing unprecentedly without a care in the world as she mocked my previous facial expressions...

As such, I immediately wanted to justify myself as well. But, once more, I was interrupted before I could even open my lips to utter a response.

"Oh my, I didn't know the Demon Empress had that kind of disability...I guess such a great amount of power comes with severe handicaps... Don't worry my empress! WITHOUT A DOUBT AMANDA WILL PROTECT YOU  SUPPORT YOU, OR AID YOU REGARDLESS OF YOUR NEEDS AND WANTS!"

"A LITTLE TOO EAGER!!!"

SO THIS ANGEL JUST THOUGHT I WAS MENTALLY ILL OR SOMETHING?! IT'S ONE THING TO MISUNDERSTAND MY EXORESSIONS OR THINK OF ME AS WEIRD, BUT MENTALLY ILL?!?! HOOOOOWWW?!?!

I could only feel irritation as the trio of girls before me, mocked me in different manners and ways...

I, of course, was only a bit angered by their laughter and mockery. But I was definitely annoyed enough.

As such, hoping that, at the very least, Myria would not know about Amanda's stupidly high status and the fact that I would have to tell them this information later anyways, I decided to say it in the most controversial, annoying and cynical way I could muster.

"You laugh so hard about my facial expressions, yet your faces would contort to the point of not being faces anymore if you were to see how Amanda, the fallen angel demon general over there, holds more than double your strength"

...

...

...

The laughing ceased...

The mockery stopped

The tears of joy dried out...

There was utter silence...

No one dared to present a single word or sentence...

I could clearly see Myria's and Scarlet's faces contorting into panic and desperation as they remained motionless...

...

...

...

I could feel joy and happiness inside of me as I realized Scarlet was not aware of this fact. And in all honesty, their faces of desperation and panic, were more than enough to justify and pardon the mockery.

I could only try to hold my chuckles in as I saw this scene display before me...

And seeing their faces, I kinda wanted to tease them...

But, as I began my sentence. In the midst of their panic and desperation, they both asked while screaming:

""WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!""

I was left to cover my ears as the silence was broken by their loud screams. I hadn't been expecting that reaction, but it was funny nonetheless...

And in response to their "What?!" I simply nodded. However, as I confirmed their question, I was able to see them both turning around slowly in disbelief, only to be met with Amanda, a beautiful, blonde, blushing, fallen angel...

Who did nothing other than tilt her head, and ask curiously when meeting her eyes with ours...

"Is something wrong?"

""EVERYTHING!!!""
