I sighed inwardly. For some reason, even before testing, I felt like something strange was going to happen.
Delios gave his congratulations with a very flushed expression. “You’ve finally found someone to imprint on. Congratulations, Lord Ilya.”
However, Ilya suddenly poured cold water on Delios, who was so happy. “I have no intention of imprinting.”
Ding!

[My world collapsed today.]
At the same time, it seemed like cold water had been poured on the constellations.
Marin was watching her as she pursed her lips, and I, too, wanted to avoid an awkward atmosphere, so I subtly and clumsily lifted my buttocks as I sat on the sofa.
Actually, I knew that Ilya would refuse the imprint because it was according to the scenario.
Delios was in despair. However, he didn’t give up and clung to me as I slowly tried to move away from the center of the incident. He then shouted loudly into my ear. “What are you doing now?! We have to tell Lord Ilya to engrave it right away! Do you know what another golden opportunity like this will come to you?! Don’t you know what a great honor it is to be the archangel’s companion, and what kind of flowery path will be laid in your future?!”
Wow… My ear is going to fall.
I spoke in the most humble and obedient manner possible. “I will follow Lord Ilya’s will.”
It’s definitely not something I don’t want to do it. I’m only a faithful low-level angel who follows the will of my superiors.
At my perfect refusal, Delios trembled with an expression on the verge of foaming at the mouth. “What a serious problem this is…!”
Well, if this was just a dream, I would have accepted the imprint without hesitation. After all, it will be gone when you wake up from the dream. However, the situation is different now. Currently, Ilya remains a lonely angel who lost his partner and will never be able to have anyone else as a companion.
It’s unfortunate for Delios, who had high expectations, but it’s just a dream anyway.
In reality, the heavenly world had already lost its respected ruler.
Ilya summed up the situation as if this was the end of it. “Marin, let’s find out more about how an angel with a high matching rate can affect me.”
“I understand.”
“Everyone, please leave except for Theresa.”
Delios whispered to me like a villain before leaving. “Just wait and see. You will be imprinted with Lord Ilya.”
Ding!

After Delios and Marin left, there was an uncomfortable atmosphere in the office where we were alone. No, I felt like I was the only one who was uncomfortable with the current atmosphere.
Ilya said to me before getting up from the couch and moving to his own work desk. “It was a bit noisy for a moment. Concentrate on your book again.”
“Yes.”
I sat down on the empty sofa and picked up a random book. Phew. I’m glad I have something to distract myself from.
“…Hmm?”
But why does the content of the book seem familiar? Flip, flip. As expected, even if I searched further, I knew everything. I wondered if it was the same in other books, so I checked and found that things I already knew about magic were written there.
But, there are only qualitative differences. Is it natural that all races’ magic fundamentals are the same?
The only thing I didn’t know was about white magic. I also briefly read books about the history of the heavenly world and the work done by each organization. It’s just a little more detailed, but it’s the same as the settings our team created.
After taking out this book and that book, only about 5 books were left. This is easy.
“…?”
I suddenly felt a deep gaze toward me at that time, and I turned my head. Ilya, who I thought was looking at the documents, was staring at me intently. He looked at the book I had put away and the five books I had left, then asked.
“It seems like you know the contents of all of those books, and the five books you need to learn are about white magic, which angels would instinctively know.”
He looked like a shaman.
“That’s not it. I want to read these books first.”
At that time, my clothes started to burn black. In an instant, my fair thighs were clearly exposed, and the strap on one side of my top was burning and was about to slide down. I hurriedly used my magic with a shocked expression. “…Stop! Restored.”
The clothes returned to their original form. But that didn’t mean my absurdity disappeared.
He spoke calmly. “If you were possible to destroy and even restore an opponent’s magic, there would be no need for all of the current books.”
Even if it was a fire that didn’t burn the skin, why would you set fire to my clothes just to confirm my magic’s knowledge? Are you crazy?
Snap! Ilya snapped his fingers, and all the books except for the five I left out seemed to evaporate.

I thought I knew full well that Ilya had a terrible personality. Still, the more I learned, the more terrible it became. I reflected deeply. Until now, I had overlooked the fact that Ilya was a professor before being an archangel or archdemon.
There are 3 red hearts for this kind of behavior? Wasn’t that definitely the stage where you liked the other person? I had doubts about whether likeability was being applied correctly.
It would be good to find out how much Archangel Ilya is influenced by the real Ilya.
Ilya noticed my blatant gaze and made eye contact with an annoyed expression. “Do you have something to say to me?”
“Yes. I have a question.”
“Say it.”
“You said that when you contacted me, the abnormality in your body suddenly disappeared. Have there been any other changes?”
It was a setting that didn’t exist in the original. It was probably a result of my crazy matching rate with him, but it was a clue that I couldn’t ignore at the moment when I needed a way to wake up from the dream.
“Well, I’m not sure exactly because it happened just before I picked you up.”
“Then how about we try the experiment again now?”
Ilya narrowed his eyes at my proactive attitude. “The way you seduce a man is unique.”
“Yes? N-now, what do you mean by seduce!”
“Didn’t you ask me earlier if I wanted to hug you or kiss you?”
“Yes, but…!”
It was a question to check if your likeability was responding normally! Ilya murmured troublingly. “I guess I brought a promiscuous angel into the central headquarters.”
“Yes? Promiscuous? Me?” When I pointed my finger at myself and asked an absurd question, which I had never heard in my life, I received a concise answer.
“Yes, you.”
Ha! Are you kidding me! I was so shocked that my snout started working hard again without any fear. “Lord Ilya, you are not interested in female angels. Didn’t you feel that you didn’t give any space for fear of causing you to act differently towards me? So, I was just trying to verify it!”
“Did you do a background check on me?”
Also, why does the story turn out like that?!
“I made a mistake. I won’t interrupt your work now.”
I opened the book with my back to Ilya, wondering to myself. Why am I the only one who gets upset? Turning away from him was a choice I made because I felt like I would burst into flames when I looked at Ilya’s innocent and weak face.
But at that moment, a large hand burrowed between the back and side of the sofa I leaned against. Before I could scream in surprise, his strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me backward.
“?!”
When I came to my senses, I was on Ilya’s lap, who had already moved to the sofa.
Ilya spoke to me. “I’ll give you just one chance, so do what you want to do.”
Ding!
[The Constellation ‘The Professor is Controlling Me’ has sponsored 100,000 coins.]
[Isn’t this crazy?!?!!]
I opened my mouth in bewilderment. I really couldn’t tell what he was thinking. And what are you telling me to do when I don’t want to do anything?
Anyway, since this is what happened, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check on his condition. But how do you check that? Shall we hug each other like we didn’t at the ranch?
I hesitated and hugged his neck. “…Do you feel anything like before?”
“…”
“Lord Ilya?”
Just like at the ranch, he became speechless again. Curiously, I slightly lowered his upper body and looked into his eyes. He had an appearance before the corruption, and his bright green eyes were staring at me with a temperature different from usual.
I felt like I was going to be eaten. His green eyes, filled with conviction, were firmer and stronger than anyone else’s.
A single-minded person who sacrifices all his abilities to the heavenly world and casts aside all his personal happiness. Some might say he’s suffocating, cold, and heartless. But I thought Ilya, who possesses a firmness and strength I cannot have, was beautiful.
He was a creation that God couldn’t help but love. So it was more heartbreaking. I was worried about the terrible misfortune that would befall him and the moment when the faith he had believed in and maintained his entire life would be shattered, and I didn’t want him to faint.
I stroked his hard cheek. Anyway, this is a dream. Can’t we just run away? I wanted to tell him and Clyde to run away from the heavenly world. Even if it’s a fleeting dream, nothing will have changed when you wake up.
The dream of a demon has an impact on reality, but ultimately, its impact is on emotions. You can change your thoughts and feelings through dreams, but the events that occurred don’t change. That’s because that’s how the scenario goes. However, even if it was just an illusion, I hoped that Ilya would have some peace, even if only for a little while.
Ilya grabbed my hand that was gently brushing his cheek and pulled it away.
“!”
His upper body leaned forward, and the tips of our noses slightly touched. I was surprised, and my breathing became slightly rough. The lips that touched the other person’s breath tingled. It was a time when I couldn’t take any action.
“I admit you were right.”
Ilya said something unexpected.
I sighed inwardly. For some reason, even before testing, I felt like something strange was going to happen.
Delios gave his congratulations with a very flushed expression. “You’ve finally found someone to imprint on. Congratulations, Lord Ilya.”
However, Ilya suddenly poured cold water on Delios, who was so happy. “I have no intention of imprinting.”
