BJ Villainess – Chapter 139

Author: alyalia

The northern part of the heavenly world, also known as the ice land, was shabby and desolate. It was made up of a stark contrast of colors from the grand and prosperous central city, which was composed of white marble, gold, blue streams, and clouds. Despairingly barren black land, a sky tinged with purple hues, and a chilling temperature with white breaths being exhaled. Even the magic stones embedded in the ground added to the bleak scenery.

Klang! Klaang! The low-level angels dug up magic stones while wearing shabby clothes. The magic stones, which look like meteorites that fell here and there just like giant glaciers, filled its energy by eating away the life force around them. Those magic stones were the reason why the north was called ice land.

Ilya moved toward the crack in front without even looking around. At that time, the manager flew out in a huff.

“Lord Ilya, how could you come to such a shabby place in person?”

“I heard that the number of low-level angels is rapidly decreasing.”

“That’s right. As the crack expanded, the number of demons coming from the demon world increased. Due to the lack of manpower, the mining speed for the magic stones is slow, which is a big problem…”

While trying to explain, the manager continued to look at Ilya’s appearance with admiring eyes.

He was truly a wonderful man. Jet black hair, green eyes with a soft glow, and a strong body that is overwhelming just by looking at it. Ilya, the handsome and strong ruler, had a way of igniting passion in even the seemingly hardened and uninterested angels as if he had become the concept of passion himself.

The manager swallowed her dry saliva. She was usually cold and stiff, but she couldn’t help but be aware of her femininity in front of this man with such a body.

Ilya didn’t seem to be interested in that at all. He stood close to the crack and summoned the golden spear. “I will set up a temporary safety zone here. While the crack is suppressed, increase the magic stones mining around here.”

Magic stones were an important resource that allowed the heavenly world to exist as an independent dimension. They were very satisfied with their current state of independence from the rest of the world and had established their own paradise. So, they wanted to maintain it forever.

“Yes! I will give them instructions right away.”

As Ilya put a golden spear into the ground and blew in power, the beam of light soared high through the sky. The manager was shocked at such fast action. More than 20 high-level angels had to come and pour their mana for several days to achieve results like this. That’s why the rank was divided by birth.

The manager asked, “Are you planning on going back right away?”

“No. There are probably some demons hiding in there trying to steal resources, so I plan to leave after dealing with all of them.”

“I’ll set up a place to stay in the meantime.”

Ilya shook his head. “I don’t need it.”

He had no time or intention to spend more than a day on such a thing. Because it was an unnecessary waste.

“This damned heaven!”

“…?”

Ilya’s eyebrows wriggled at the sudden shout. His eyes naturally fell on the person who had just made indecent remarks.

“Suddenly go to a place like Aoji Coal Mine. Oh gosh, it’s my fault.”

The higher you’re in the hierarchy pyramid, the more beautiful your appearance becomes. However, no matter how you look at it, a woman who appeared to be at least a top-level angel was wearing shabby clothes and throwing away a pickaxe.

“Does that low-level angel belong here?”

The manager stared at the low-level angel with cold eyes and said, “She is a new low-level angel, and I’ve been keeping a close eye on her because she continues to be eccentric. I will handle it quickly.”

It meant that she would discard her.

Ilya tilted his head. “Eccentric?”

“Actually, when the demons came out not long ago, that low-level angel led the other low-level angels to stop mining magic stones and run away.”

“A low-level angel led them?”

The manager looked at Ilya’s face and explained the situation more at the time. It was to defend her judgment in allowing such an unscrupulous person to still be alive. “Yes. Although she did something to disrupt the system, she lost her wings while protecting the angels. Taking that into account, I only gave a simple punishment of not resting until all the magic stones were mined.”

She even sacrificed herself to protect other angels? It was an unusual phenomenon rarely occurring in the heavenly world, which has much stricter rules and classes than the human world. Ilya felt a feeble curiosity that was almost nonexistent.

“I didn’t hear such a report.”

“It was done by one eccentric angel, so I didn’t report it to the higher-ups.”

Leaving the manager, Ilya swung the pickaxe. Then he spoke while continuously observing the low-level angel resting in a corner. “The name?”

The manager replied with a blush. “My name is Joanne.”

“Not you, but that.”

When Joanne was told that he had asked for the name of the low-level angel, not her, she felt ashamed and angry, which made her give a stiff answer. “…It’s Theresa.”

Theresa. Ilya tried to pronounce that name in his head.

“Exclude Theresa from the mining operations. Send her to the headquarters immediately.”

Joanne felt a great deal of injustice at that. “Headquarter?”

“Are you disobeying orders now?”

“…No. I apologize.”

Ilya also remembered Joanne’s name. He was thinking of replacing the manager here as well. He checked Theresa again before dealing with the remaining demons.

Meanwhile, without even mining her own share, Theresa approached an old-looking angel, took away his pickaxe, and worked on his behalf. The other angel was displeased with her actions.

“Why are you arbitrarily taking over my share of work?”

Then, there was the sound of Theresa’s heartfelt voice. “I’m not doing this for you. I’m just skipping my work.”

“It’s a sophistry.”

“Think whatever you want. I want to rebel against this system, and you can just rest while pretending you don’t know.”

“Follow the rules.”

“I don’t want to.”

The two got into a meaningless argument. Ilya didn’t allow the manager to do anything and sent her back to her place. Then he checked Theresa again. She was still acting unruly, and the other angel responded stiffly but began to express strange concern.

“Sigh… If the manager sees it, you’ll be the only one in trouble.”

“It doesn’t matter. My life is already ruined.”

“I have never seen an angel as pessimistic as you in my life.”

Ilya traced the roof of his mouth with his tongue. Her unpredictability got on his nerves. The fact that she didn’t perform her duties as calmly as other low-level angels was unpleasant.

Not moving in order only caused chaos in society. The wrongs must be corrected. Ilya felt a strong need to control her.

I gazed at the central headquarters with a faint eye. At that moment, Delios, the attendant angel who had brought me directly to the center of the headquarters without wings, spoke in a stern voice.

“Please come in.”

“Ah, yes.”

I don’t know what’s going on, but all of a sudden, the place of my work has been changed from ice land to central headquarters. The ice land manager, Joanne, glared at me and told me about it, but when I asked why, she didn’t answer.

My clothes, which had been covered in soot and looked like rags, changed to white and clean clothes when I was moved to the central headquarters. However, the dress was still sleeveless and had a short skirt, so anyone could tell I was a low-level angel.

Still, as I became a worker at central headquarters, a thin gold band appeared around my neck. When I bit into it to see if it was real gold, I found a dent in the shape of a tooth.

Ding!

[Why are you bothering to check if it was real gold…]

I entered the department guided by Delios.

“This is originally not a place where low-level angels can enter.”

I know. It’s a setup that our team put in.

“However, considering your history of caring for other low-level angels and losing your wings from the demon’s attack, we have assigned you here.”

Delios’s arrogant tone conveyed a hint that I should engrave this incredible glory deep in my heart and be obedient. Because I was originally like a defective product that would have been discarded.

“If it weren’t for the severe manpower shortage, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Yes.”

Delios stood before a mountain of books and documents. “You will be working as a supporter from today.”

A supporter. It was a title that didn’t sound very good.

“Organize all the books and documents here.”

“…”

You want me to organize all of these?

Ding!

[My child is good at everything, but she’s just not good at organizing things…]

Delios rolled his eyes. “Do you have a problem?”

“…What will happen to me if I have a problem?”
