When silence was long enough to make you think it would never end, it was suddenly broken by Astalot.
"Illis, let's go find Lucifer"
To a sudden suggestion from Astalotto, Illis instantly frowned.
It came from a reflexive aversion to Lucifer.
But Iris soon realized that on his own, and once he breathed deeply, he made a slightly relaxed muscle in his face, somewhat unbound, yet as calm a look as he could.
"Surely he could do something about it?
"Um, at least I can't think of anything else"
"I guess so. I can't do this to you. Probably not even Satan."
"That's the thing. Do you have any idea where Lucifer is?
In response to Astalot's inquiry, Illis answered immediately.
"No. He's disgraced. I don't know where I usually am."
"But basically, aren't you in heaven?
But Iris shook his head wide at this.
"I can't say enough. Anyway, he's whimsical and curious. There may be more to being in the lower realm than boring heaven."
It was with this statement of Illis that their next destination was decided.
