DEMON GIRL LOOKING FOR LOVE
The Excessive Giving

Today is Christmas, Legolas does not go to work and just stays at home. Her relationship with Chloe still continues but she feels a little different now.

From the moment he woke up, the young man did not stand up from his bed. Outside the snow fell very heavily, fortunately he had had time to buy a new room heater.

Legolas was still lying down and thinking about what Chloe said to him. It's been a few days since Lucia came to her house yesterday. He also still does not understand his feelings at this time. It was just that whenever he felt the cold or saw the snow falling, Legolas became thinking of Lucia.

When he regained consciousness thinking about the girl, he tried to divert his mind now. He picks up the phone he put near his bed and calls Chloe right away.

"Chloe, come to my place today. Let's celebrate Christmas together." Legolas said on the phone to Chloe.

"Alright, Olas. We'll have lunch together later. Have you had breakfast? You sound like you just woke up." Chloe.

"Yes, I just woke up. I'll take a shower and have breakfast soon." Answer Legolas.

"It's almost nine o'clock, have breakfast."

After finishing his phone, Legolas stood up and sighed to the bathroom. Surely he was reluctant to get out of his bed but he did not want to think about Lucia every time he just kept silent.

"Today's Christmas, you're taking me for a walk in hell." Said Gayle to Lucas holding her hand.

Lucas takes Gayle to hell to show her what hell is going on. The young man continued to hold Gayle's hand so that the hellfire would not burn her.

The condition of hell is filled with flames that burn with an aura that feels very dark, but once Gayle looks relaxed and ordinary in that place.

"It turns out hell isn't creepy either." Gayle turned to Lucas with a happy-looking face.

"This is the abode of the demons, another place where the torture of men is." Answer Lucas. "Unfortunately I will not take you there because it will be much more dangerous. Even I don't like being in that horrible place."

"really? I really want to go there." Gayle looked enthusiastically at Lucas.

"No, I won't take you there." Lucas leaned slightly toward Gayle to let the girl see her expression that meant to say so.

"Lucas." The cry of Phoebe that suddenly came. "This girl is kan—"

"Stttt!!" Lucas stopped Phoebe's words about Gayle that he knew. "Don't say it."

"You're no different than your sister, Lucia." Phoebe muttered inexhaustibly at that young man who dared to take humans to hell. "Your father called out to you, it looks like he's already set out when he'll bring Lucia back."

"What?" Gayle seemed surprised to hear the news that made her become afraid of it.

Lucas turned his head to Gayle, from his gaze the young man looked to be extremely worried. If so, he will first bring Lucia to hell so that her father does not come to the world of man that will make man perish. He didn't want Gayle, the girl he loved, dead.

"Gayle, I'll take you back." Lucas looked at Gayle.

...----------------...

Not long after the bell rang. He opened it and thought it was Chloe.

Legolas was shocked when he saw the figure standing in front of his door. A smile greeted him and Legolas who saw the presence of the person could only reply with a knotty smile for not understanding the purpose of his coming today.

"Am I interrupting?" Edith asked with a face that was happy to see her son today, on his birthday. "Happy birthday... Ma—I mean, merry christmas, Legolas." Edith offered the Christmas parcel she had brought to Legolas.

"Good christmas, Commissioner." Legolas answered and received a parcel from Edith. "Come in."

Edith went into Legolas' house. He smiled when he saw the new sofa in his son's house. He was a little happy to see it and sat down.

"I should've come to your house to say merry Christmas to you, Commissioner." Said Legolas who was at the kitchen table. The young man was making a cup of hot tea.

"I happen to be passing by here." Answer Edith. "So I decided to stop by to see you."

Legolas was no longer astonished at Edith's kindness and concern for her. But he still felt bad about all that because until now he did not understand why the woman was always good to him.

"Please drink. I'm sorry, I can only serve warm tea on Christmas." Legolas sat on the other sofa.

"Thank you, I really like hot tea." Edith smiled and then drank her warm tea. "How are you doing, is there anything that doesn't make you comfortable?" Look at Edith after putting the teacup to the table.

"Everything went well." Answer Legolas.

"Legolas, I came here to actually give you something." Edith took a key from the bag and placed it on the table near Legolas. "That's the key to an apartment I haven't occupied in a long time. I think you can handle it because it's close to the company."

Legolas's feelings became increasingly uneasy to hear Edith's words that gave him an apartment key. He thought that the kindness of that woman to him was already too much. He wanted to know what Edith's purpose was to do good to him all this time.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, this may sound rude, but what the madam was about to give me was already too much." Legolas.

"Bu—not that I mean. I didn't expect anything, I just really wanted to help you. I've looked at you like my own son. There is absolutely no bad intention or hidden purpose from me." Edith replied a little panicked because from Legolas' gaze, the young man thought that he had bad intentions on him.

The woman began to feel that she should not give it to Legolas. Anyone would think bad about all his kindness to that young man.

"Legolas, I really just want to give it all away just because I already think of you like my son. Maybe this feels weird to you." Edith looked at Legolas who was just silent with a glance towards the table, not looking at him. "All right, if you mind. I'm not gonna force you."

"Madam, actually after I worked at your company, I heard a lot of bad things about you. It was all because of the kindness of the mistress who gave me the job, but everyone was mistaken for thinking that the mistress and I had a relationship and plus your husband had died a year ago. I never paid any heed to those words because I knew you were a good woman and had no particular purpose for me. But this time I feel your gift is too much. I wonder why you're so good to me?" Legolas looked at Edith.

Edith looked at Legolas's gaze which forced her to answer the question honestly.

"You are my son." Answer Edith.
