Final Preparations

Yulia sighs, "if things go bad, we'll need all the help we can get, so fine... Lemiel can come," she says agreeing with the voices. Lemiel gives a weak smile, but is visibly shaking slightly at the idea.

"It is... only by your grace that I have lived this long... I have no qualms about what is to come..." she says quietly, but still everyone can hear her words. Cherchiel looks a little uncertain.

With no immediate decisions regarding the Harvesters' Gloves, they are merely put into Yulia's inventory for now. Cherchiel is fully re-equipped with her equipment.

"I... Don't know if the One True God will accept that offer, but of course if you intend to kill more Archdemons, we will not say no, perhaps further rewards can be bargained for with..." Lemiel starts than hesitates, "whoever replaces me..." she finishes, "though I don't know if you will have the opportunity to face any more Archdemons after this floor," she adds.

Everyone is ready and Lemiel puts on her armor and waits to accompany Yulia and the others. They head out, traveling back through the floor until they reach the workshop area. The imps working stop seemingly intrigued by Lemiel and they whisper amongst themselves.

"Who's that angel?"

"Not with the Chosen... Free Game?"

"They'd probably try to protect her though,"

Despite their whispers, none of them make a move and the group passes through to the blacksmith who spots Lemiel and sniffs, "You're not supposed to be here," he growls and Lemiel glares at him.

"I am supposed to be where ever Yulia needs me," she responds and he growls his hand on his hammer clenching for a moment before he looks at Yulia and sniffs again, deciding against it. Of course now they need to pass through either Pain or Pleasure to continue onwards.

"I assume we'll just go through Pleasure again... Goma can just make one of us orgasm if we want to be quick," Yulia suggests and the rest nod, "I don't think we really need to find out what pain entails, so... let's just go..." she decides and they enter the pleasure chamber.

Inside Goma targets Yulia and Yulia drops to her knees with a stifled cry as an orgasm rocks through her. Cherchiel grabs her and helps her to her feet as they exit the chamber Yulia leaning against Cherchiel as she recovers from the sensation. They enter the waiting room area and immediately the various waiting demons turn their attention to Lemiel, before anything can happen though the door to Dahlia's room opens and Dahlia steps out, still in her Demon of Gifts apparel as opposed to her normal apparel. "Hello! What an honor to have a proper angel here," she says greeting Lemiel as the various demons shrink away from Dahlia, surprised to see her outside like this. Cherchiel seems insulted at the insinuation she's not a "proper angel"

"I have no interest in you Demoness..." Lemiel says, "I am just here to help Yulia..."

"As am I, but unfortunately The Abyss doesn't want you to attend their meeting so... I've been told to stop you," she says sweetly and then turns to Yulia, "give the angel to me and you can continue down to see the Abyss, or... I'll have to sic my lovely supplicants upon you and take her by ****," Dahlia explains. The demons in the room seem eager at this proposition. "though I won't be fighting myself, no worries there. I wouldn't want to hurt any of you after all, you'll just be facing these..." she hesitates and glances around, "sixteen or so demons," Dahlia clarifies and a wink towards the "camera" seems to imply this addition of information was specifically for the benefit of the voices.
