85 Azazels Wish (2/2)
There is nothing more to live for after all. Living feels more like a task than anything else. Dying might be the only possible way to rest.
”And … what about the rest of the demon race, will you let them die too?” Rain asks, in a surprisingly normal-pitched voice.
”Oh come on! I am a demon, you know. Caring for others isn't in me.” I say with a smile, ”Back in the time I was born, Demons were pure evil and Angels were pure good. While the changing times have definitely affected me a little, I am still someone who wasn't meant to have any good traits.”
Changing times – it sounds almost ironic to say it. Over these thousands of years I have lived, I saw Angels start doing bad things and Demons start doing good deeds. And slowly and slowly, this spread so much that, at this point, it doesn't even surprise me if an Angel kills an innocent person or a Demon gives his/her life protecting one.
In that respect, and in that respect alone, I can understand how Dues feels and why she would want to change things to how they originally were.
”Azazel!” Rain yells my name, causing me to realize I was spacing out.
”Yes, sorry about that. Did you say something?” I ask.
”…” Biting her lips, Rain asks, ”You don't mean to say Dues is right about wanting to destroy Demons, are you?”
”No, I don't mean to say that. Honestly, it's not Angels or Demon's fault that all these changes have happened. They don't deserve annihilation. And the one who is at fault, he is not someone Dues can even put a scratch on, no matter what she does. So, her plan is bogus.”
”…”
”Something wrong?” I look at Rain, asking that question. And she looks down as she asks,
”What do you mean by 'the one who is at fault'?”
”Well, isn't it obvious? I'm talking about God. He is the one who made us, isn't he? So all of us changing like this is a shortcoming of him, not ours. He couldn't make Angels who could never be corrupted and vice-versa with Demons.”
He is the one to blame for all of this. They all stay silent as they listen to that, silent and astonished.
”You know, I talked to him at length once.” I mention I have only mentioned to Lucifer before.
”You did?” Rain asks with a surprise.
”Yes, I did. And he told me that he doesn't feel like there's anything wrong with these changes.”
”…”
”So, maybe,” Just maybe, ”it's not a shortcoming, but he actually intentionally made us so we could be changed.”
”…”
”…”
”…”
”…”
”Still though, I doubt he will stop Dues from doing what she is trying to do. He would probably only look at it as just a change too.”
He is, after all, completely impartial.
