“Okay, everything is rung up. The price comes to…” Mike gave us the final price, which was a hefty sum. After we paid, we stored all the items away, starting with the non-perishables. The perishables for this store went to Silvie, who could then freeze what could be frozen in ice so that it would not take up space in her inventory. Those that could not be frozen were kept in her inventory.

“Mike, call that number as soon as possible. You have two days. We need to go we still have places to be.” I left these words before taking Angel’s hand and walking out of the store.

“Zoe, where are we headed now?” Angel asked as she trotted alongside me. I was walking quite fast, and since my legs were longer than hers, she had to walk a little faster to keep up.

“We are headed to Failmart, then Blowes and Home De Pot. We will only be clearing these stores and not paying. So, fill your inventory. We won’t be leaving the house after today, so there is no need to worry about the police or the military. World laws no longer apply now.” The world was coming to an end there was no longer a need to worry about anything else.

“Okay!” Angel nodded her head and smiled brightly. She now had a skip in her step. Maybe she was looking forward to the new world.

“Angel, just so you know. In the future, as time goes on, there will be bloodshed. Not just monsters but humans as well. I will not hesitate to kill anyone who threatens us. The new world is not a good place.” I had to make sure she understood this. The new world order was not something those weak at heart could deal with. You had to be cold and ruthless.

“I know. You warned me many times about this. Zoe…” Angel pulled my hand, causing me to stop walking. “You and my father are the only ones I care about. I guess Hilde and Silvie, too, but that is just an afterthought.”

“Oi! Little girl, I can hear you and am the one who cooks your food. Should I spit in it?” Hilde seemed a little triggered by Angel’s words, but I could tell she was not really mad. I watched as Angel stuck her tongue out at Hilde playfully, making me smile.

“Alright. I understand. You will not hesitate. I know. You did zap a few people because of me.” I had noticed the black specs in Angel’s halo. It seemed she was not completely pure of heart.

“Excuse me.” A man suddenly walked up to us. I turned to see a man in priest robes standing there with what I can only guess was a bible in his hands.

“Yeah?” I asked, pulling Angel behind me. I had a strange feeling about this man.

“I am Bishop Stone. I am from the High Church of the Gods. We are a new faith broken off from the Christian Church. We would like to invite Miss Angel there to become our Goddess.” The man’s words made me snort. This bastard wanted to take Angel away to be their goddess? Was he not very bright?

“I think you should leave. My girlfriend is not someone you can even think about for your cult.” I replied coldly, a sword appearing in my free hand while my other grabbed Angel’s hand.

“Miss, as a demoness, you should not taint our Goddess. I think you should let her go. I do not think you wish to make an enemy out of the High Church of the Gods.” The so-called priest suddenly became very unpriestly-like.

“Oh? And do you think you can stop me?” I asked, pointing my sword at his neck. “With a single thrust, I can take your life and send you to the whatever god you actually worship. Don’t think for even a second we will feel threatened by some dipshit in a priest’s robe. Let me warn you, I am not afraid of laws. I will take your life here and leave your body to rot under the afternoon sun.”

“Miss Demoness, I think you are not understanding something.” The so-called priest suddenly took a cross out from under his robe. It was just a small cross that hung around his neck. He then pointed it to me while holding his bible up. It made me wonder. Just how messed up this man’s brain was. “Begone demoness!”

“Begone, dipshit!” I raised my foot and kicked the man hard. He went flying across the street and crashed through the window of some antique store.

“He’s lucky I didn’t kill him!” I snorted before pulling Angel along. Hilde was giggling away as she followed behind us. I, too, wanted to laugh. I mean, what made this idiot even think I would allow them to take my person?

“You were really cool just now. Like a hero!” Angel seemed to be enjoying herself.

“I don’t want to hear that Miss Goddess!” I teased, causing her to pinch my waist. But it did make me wonder. Who the hell makes pink-haired things their goddess? Just makes no sense!
