Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1265 - A Surprisingly Nice Ending

Lucifer suddenly showed up out of nowhere, and even in a mildly humanoid form now, not the same entity made of whatever he was made of before I guess his Avatar always had this appearance, but he chose to take another to hide his identity or maybe to fit with the facelessness of his friend? I wonder what it could had been…

And I guess they\'re more friends than I had thought, I knew that Lucifer genuinely cared for him when he asked me back in hell to receive and answer the System Master\'s messages, but now that I see them together, I can\'t help but think they\'re really like best friends…

Perhaps the only friend that the System Master ever had… damn, this is kind of homoerotic.

"You… Lucifer… I guess you were the only one there for me through this entire journey… I am… sorry for never having listened to your advises. Now that I realize, they were very similar to the things my daughter told me now…" sighed the System Master.

Astraea smiled back at Lucifer as Lucifer gently petted her head.

"You\'re a good girl, aren\'t you? I always knew you were a group of good kids, that\'s why I stopped your father when he went into a fit of fury… No need to thank me, hehe." Laughed Lucifer while winking at Astraea playfully.

"Thank you for making father stop back then and making him realize of his mistakes, despite being the King of Hell, you\'re a good person." Said Astraea.

"Hahaha! T-This is the first time that someone calls me a good person! Oh dear, you\'re such an innocent flower in a morning of spring… so pure and innocent… I guess it is good, it makes sense that such a strong and beautiful heart was able to get through his stubborn mask rather than the rotten monster I really am… Thank you." Said Lucifer.

"No problem, uncle." Said Astraea.

"U-Uncle? Ah, this girl is melting my heart now! You bastard, why did you had such a cute girl?!" asked Lucifer.

"Heh, well, thanks for helping me out since we became allies back then… I always thought we were simply for mutual benefits but now that I have come back to my senses… I… I am happy to have you as a friend, no matter what you truly are Lucifer." Said the System Master.

"Haha, dear, what are friends for? Don\'t worry about it, now come here." Said Lucifer with a bright smile, as he hugged the System Master.

His tender and slender arms embraced his friend in a tight and warm hug.

"Y-You\'re getting corny out of the sudden!" sighed the System Master. Although he didn\'t really stopped him.

"It just that you\'re so cute now!" said Lucifer with enamored eyes, he even gently kissed his cheek coquettishly while winking back.

"Oh my, what have I done? Fufu…" he giggled as the System Master\'s face grew red like a tomato. Astraea laughed cheerfully at the scene.

"W-What are you doing?! Ugh, I knew it! You degenerate!" cried the System Master, as Lucifer laughed. The System Master crossed his arms and averted his gaze from Lucifer.

I don\'t know if this was getting funny or weirder by the second, but I was mildly enjoying this, and by seeing everyone\'s faces with me, some were even cheering up for the pair…

"Hehe, I was just showing my affection, now that you went back to your original form, I couldn\'t miss the chance!" said Lucifer with a charmingly feminine aura to him.

"Father will Lucifer become my stepmother?" wondered Astraea.

"W-What are you talking about?!" asked the System Master in shock as he only grew redder.

"Ohohoho! Not a bad idea, dear, I would love to! Your father is just so stubborn sometimes." Sighed Lucifer.

"Huh, so you\'re just flirting with everyone?" I asked while raising an eyebrow.

"K-Kireina! I didn\'t meant it like that… Well, what I said you back then is completely different from this! I just have a big heart," He said.

"Ah… Well, whatever." I said.

I was a bit surprised when he told me all those weird things back in Hell, so he just really flirts with anyone? Or maybe he does just has a big heart and got a bit of a romance going on with the System Master that he cannot really deny anymore…

I think he doesn\'t really have anything with him, the System Master is denying everything and even a bit terrified by his advances, I don\'t know if this relationship will even progress anywhere.

But maybe? It would be interesting to see… Although I am not really into sharing a lover with anyone, Lucifer might be someone very special.

Ah, not like I\'ve considered taking him as a lover any time soon anyways, so no.

For now let\'s stop thinking this cringy stuff before I lose more braincells.

"He\'s just a trickster, don\'t believe his words…" said the System Master.

"I didn\'t believe anything anyways." I said while shrugging.

"Oh my, you two are demolishing me…" sighed Lucifer.

"So what\'s with that form?" asked the System Master while still blushing, he was eyeing Lucifer\'s body rather intensively.

"Oh, this? You like it? I just took this form because I wanted to see my friend with it now that you\'ve also taken your mask… I had that mask before because I didn\'t wanted to make you feel uncomfortable!" said Lucifer.

"I-Is that so…?" sighed the System Master.

"And of course, so you can like it! Do you like me now~?" asked Lucifer coquettishly.

"I-I would never… No chance," said the System Master, crossing his arms once more.

"Oh my, so boring… I know you\'re not like this!" said Lucifer.

Lucifer continued to talk more and more with the System Master, and with us for a while, the two only spoke casually about stuff, while Astraea went back at my side, she was getting along with the two and everyone else.

This was a surprisingly nice ending to this entire drama, I felt rather fulfilled… I guess
