Chapter 18 Sleep

"May I strangle your neck?" Berlin smiled broadly revealing a row of teeth that looked like shark fangs.

Instead of being afraid, Cologne casually replied like this, "Then take off the clothes you're wearing. You should realize that these clothes are mine," he replied nonchalantly. The young man tried to remind that the clothes Berlin was wearing were borrowed from him.

"Tch. To be honest, your clothes don't feel too comfortable. My wings feel like they're going to break just because you're wearing your tight clothes. It seems you don't want to lend them to me either," said Berlin, who was still protesting several times. The demon was indeed wearing clothes borrowed from Cologne.

"I'm sure there will never be a human other than me who will lend his clothes to a demonic figure. Ah stop talking about clothes and can you answer my previous question!" said Cologne quickly.

Berlin revealed Cologne with the data and immediately answered the question of the man at the time, "I have plans to accompany you as well as take the role of Jo for a while. You will return to work with a new partner, namely myself," answered Jo.

"Hah?!" Cologne rolled his eyes.

Berlin smiled cheerfully. "What's with your reaction? You should be happy that you've found a new partner. You know, it's going to be very profitable for you to work with me."

"Wow, it's really that hell-sent really has no shame. I feel like I want to spit on you even though I'm salivating from spitting on you too often," sarcastically Cologne.

"Your vocabulary really isn't open enough. I'm sure after you die, you deserve to be a scholar in hell." Not to be outdone, Berlin also echoed Cologne's quote equally sarcastically.

"I still can't accept your decision. I don't feel like having a new partner, I'm still traumatized," Cologne said.

"Oh come on, if only I could show your friend's spirit the way you would an insect, I'd really like to support you that Jo's spirit would definitely agree with me," Berlin said trying to persuade Cologne.

"He would never be willing to be shown by a demon like you," Cologne replied quickly.

"If Jo hears this he's going to be really disappointed in you. And he'll probably curse you out loud," Berlin retorted in frustration. The demon must give Cologne the number one stone-headed man.

"I don't believe the devil's words!" cried Cologne.

Damn, that head really is made of stone, Berlin groaned in his heart.

CTIK

Berlin snaps his fingers once and he intends to brainwash Cologne by giving him a false memory. Berlin deliberately did this so that Cologne would only agree to his plans.

"Sob...sob...sob...well, I agree. You can be partners now. But remember I'm doing all this just for Jo!" said Cologne with tears in his eyes, the young man's memory had been manipulated by Berlin. In the young man's memory, it was clear that Jo had begged to be considered his new partner. Of course anything related to Jo, will be immediately approved by him.

Berlin, who saw Cologne's reaction, cried like he was happy. He tried to hold back his laughter though in the end he burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" asked Cologne so confused to see Berlin laughing like a madman.

"Just ignore it," Berlin replied quickly. Berlin then left Cologne in his own living room.

"Thank you, because you've solved this case well," said the voice on the other end.

"Ah, yes. No need to thank me, you know my ears are a little hot hearing that," Cologne replied nonchalantly.

"You... even though I just wanted to thank you. You can't hear thanks from other people or basically, you don't like me as your senior?" Eden felt stifling the nature of his junior.

"You don't want to talk about other matters? The Baron and his partner have been arrested now. Do you want me another case? I hope you come up with a much weirder case because I won't be working alone anymore." Cologne deliberately said that to give a subtle satire to Berlin who was currently standing behind.

"You're talking weird, why are you suddenly excited?" Eden was surprised to hear Cologne's words.

"Ah, go ahead and let me hang up the call." Cologne after that he quickly hung up the call and threw his cell phone away.

"Only rich people, wasting things just because they think you're underpaid," Berlin joked.

"You'd better shut up. My head hurts." Cologne took back his cell phone and walked to his bed.

"Hey, you have a rollaway bed?" asked Berlin suddenly.

"Huh? Does a demon like you need sleep? Is it because you changed your form into a human who decided to live life like a human?" asked Cologne curiously.

"You have too many questions, you look more stupid when you ask so many questions," Berlin complained.

"Watch your mouth! Damn, I was just about to lend you a bed, but when I heard your complaints, I felt like giving you a coffin as your bed." Cologne leaked sharply in the direction of Berlin.

"Just lend me your bed," Berlin replied nonchalantly.

Cologne walked over to his storage cupboard and picked it up and threw it straight at Berlin's face.

"Is this how you help others?!" Berlin was annoyed to find the mattress landed smoothly on his handsome face.

Cologne gave an expelling gesture and then said this to Berlin, "Well I guess this is the right way to help the devil. Why are humans acting polite in front of demons? Hey, you see, I'm still a servant of God."

"This is the way a man who pretends to have great faith speaks," Berlin quipped.

"Okay I'm tired of hearing your sarcasm. I want to get away from me. You've got your bed and go sleep there!"

"You want me to share the same room with you?" Berlin revealed towards Cologne's face.

"I'd better burn my room now if I get to yours!" Cologne retaliated sharply leaked Berlin.

"Then where do you want me to sleep?" asked Berlin innocently.

"Sleep in hell as you came from!" said Cologne hotly.

"I'm serious! Where should I sleep?" And Berlin is still giggling with the question that his interlocutor still hasn't answered.

"...sleep in the living room and quickly get out of my room right now!" snapped Cologne, impatient for Berlin to leave his room.
