By the way, Yoshi— Mistress Yohane, what are you like at home?

What do you mean?

I'm curious if you're your usual fallen angel self around your mom.

She's not my mom, she's just my housemate during my time in the human world! I have no human relatives!

All right, all right. If that's the way it is. So, what are you like at home then?

A fallen angel of my caliber has a dark and powerful aura that radiates permanently, no matter what I do.

It is evident what things would happen if a weak and vulnerable human were to step foot within my vicinity.

So, at home you're Yoshiko Tsushima. Well, I guess that makes sense.

Why are you so pleased with that conclusion? Also, it's not Yoshiko Tsushima, it's Yohane!

I know that. So then, your mom doesn't know that her daughter isn't a human at all, but is actually a fallen angel? Or that you hide fallen angel stuff in your room?

I said she's not my— Well, whatever. She doesn't know about any of it…probably.

Huh, has she ever noticed something?

I'm not sure. She most likely hasn't figured anything out, I think. But I get the feeling that she might be starting to catch on.

Well, she is living with me after all, so I would not be surprised to learn that she has the prowess to discern my true identity on her own!

No matter what, you can always seem to put that kind of spin on it. I've gotta hand it to you, Mistress Yohane.

But, don't you ever let slip your true identity when you're talking with her sometimes? Especially since in front of me or Aqours you're always in your full fallen angel form.

There is no need to worry about that. It's not like we talk much to begin with.

You and your mom aren't close?

That's not what I mean. It's just, I could talk a lot more about my home in heaven than I could about this forsaken world I have fallen upon.

And then, there's my plan to conquer the human world that's currently underway. As long as I'm living alongside a human, it isn't like I can ever speak of that.

So, that doesn't leave much to talk about.

I mean, there are other things you could talk about, aren't there? Like any good TV shows you've watched recently, things that happened at school, or about Aqours!

We talk about Aqours a bit. But, I can't say more than the bare minimum because I might accidentally let out my fallen angel side.

Wow…

(Yoshiko, does that really mean you barely ever even speak to your own mother? Even though you're family living under the same roof?)

Are you all right with that, Yoshiko?

…I accept it. It is a sacrifice I must make to keep my true identity hidden.

Also it's not Yoshiko, I'm Yohane. You really don't seem to ever want to remember that no matter how much time passes, do you little demon?
