Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: “Names really do matter, huh?” ①

“Ah, she’s awake. This guy’s resilient. I wonder how you can kill her. Would a holy sword do the trick?”

Natsuki looked on with curiosity, as if observing a fascinating creature.

Even if not at full strength, the fact that she’s still kicking after being split in two or burned shows she must have a strong life force.

It’s fitting for someone who carries the big name of Lucifer.

“Ah, my beautiful wings are buuuurned!”

Lucifer screamed, noticing her body and pure white wings were scorched.

She attempted to repair them, and while her body was somewhat restored, the wings did not return to their original pristine white.

“Damn it, I don’t have enough power!”

“Um, she isn’t really an angel, right?”

Ginko cautiously asked again, prompting Natsuki to clarify.

“I told you, she’s Lucifer.”

“A fallen angel!? I was hoping I heard wrong!”

“No, you’ve got it all wrong! I(俺) am the youngest of the Lucifer family, the grandchild of God! A proper angel, not fallen!”

It was clear from her claim of divine power and calling Natsuki a demon that she was indeed angelic in nature.

“A tomboyish angel, huh? That’s quite in demand! So, why is Lucifer-san here on Earth?”

“Because my damn father fell from grace and became the Devil, I’ve been going around killing his demon minions! Because of that damn old man, our family’s reputation has tanked, and the stares from the neighbors are unbearable! What’s this about Satan? His name is Taichiro Lucifer, you know?”

(Whether there’s a demand for tomboyish angels or not aside, what did she say? Lucifer is a family name? And by God, does she mean that God? And why on earth is Satan’s name Taichiro? Ah, I don’t even know where to start!)

Natsuki quietly turned to Ginko and asked in a low voice.

“Um, about Satan…”

“We probably could spend our entire lives and never meet him, but he’s essentially the top of the demons, I guess.”

“And his name is Taichiro?”

“Well, I don’t really know about that. Satan, God… I’d rather not get involved. Fantasy is Natsuki-kun’s forte, I leave it to you.”

“I’m not exactly an expert in fantasy, but okay. It does intrigue me.”

As Lucifer complained about her father while fixing her wings, Natsuki approached her.

“So, why does he have a Japanese name?”

Lucifer, seemingly displeased by the question, glared at Natsuki.

“Because God got into Japanese culture and was like, ‘From today, you all will have Japanese names. No objections, it’s a penalty.’ What kind of penalty is that? If you resist, you get punished!”

“Power-harassing God! God is a power-harasser, huh?”

“Exactly! That damn old geezer, doesn’t he think his granddaughter is cute?”

“By the way, what’s your name?”

Having heard this much, Natsuki became curious about Lucifer’s own name.

She seemed reluctant but eventually disclosed it.

“…Koume Lucifer.”

“That’s pretty cute!”

“—Hoe?”
