Chapter 79

Chapter 79


The angel was surprisingly decent .


Sara who proclaimed herself as an angel who serves Metron, spoke to me in a somehow haughty way, as if she was trying to brag about it . I couldn't see the reason for her trying to boast about that fact, though I was able to guess that she was an angel . A fairly wavy white hair almost reaching her shoulders and black eyes . Her outward appearance was rather similar to that of Lina who is also an angel . Although, the giant hammer which she was carrying with her seemed a little unbefitting for an angel . That hammer was the only peculiar thing I found if my impression of her was to be excluded .


"I thought all angels were like Lina . Turns out I was wrong . "


The first time I encountered Lina, was when she was blindly worshiping that annoying Kid to a harebrained level . Judging from that past experience, Sara didn't look that way to me . Hearing my impression of her, Sara got seemingly offended and spoke in a displeased manner .


"Hey, don't be rude! Lina is the only one of us who served Metron-sama to a crazy level . " "Wha-! W-Who are you calling crazy?!"


Lina who ended up remembering a past that she didn't want to remember because of Sara's straight mock, shouted with a voice that exuded her embarrassment . Hm? Her reaction was strange . I didn't expect her to react in such a way, honestly .


"Didn't you tell me that day that for an angel, serving and revering their god is their greatest joy or something?"


When I urged her to answer my question, she tried to smooth over it by responding vaguely .


"Everyone was thinking the same back then and it can't be helped, since my parents educated me that way…"


Her voice was lacking confidence . When I remained to stare at her for a long time, she couldn't bear my gaze and gradually lowered her voice . Sara who watched her reaction was shocked and let out a sigh .


"Hey, people who hold this kind of beliefs nowadays are the rare minorities . The main reason behind the popularity of our job is the convenient work conditions and the salary . It's not as honorable as Lina said . "


"Money comes before ideals . " Sare ended her words with an honest point . My first impression of her was on spot . She was a tough angel . I started feeling that a god could be more realistic than what I thought . Even Saya and Karen who were listening to our conversation smiled bitterly . As for Rouga, she was screaming nonsense like "This tree is so huuge!!" while looking at a large tree near us . Looks like this wolf of mine can't read the mood .


"A-Anyway, why are you here Sara? What happened to your job?"


Lina who didn't wish to continue ashaming herself, changed the topic .


"I am here because of my job . I was ordered by Metron-sama to destroy the magic teleportation circle installed in this island . Although, I didn't hear anything about the monster that was lurking in the forest . " "What did you just say? Teleportation circle?"


I instantly reacted to the word "magic circle" and drew closer to Saya who was still complaining about the monster that assaulted her earlier .


"Hey! Is there really a magic circle in this island?" "W-What's your problem…?"


When I got too close to her, Sara's angered expression totally disappeared and was replaced with a puzzled face instead .


"Answer me!" "T-There is . Metron-sama was using it in the past and it's still functioning until now . "

< < 24 . <<<<

Overwhelmed by my insistence, Sara uttered in a low voice . Is that so . As I expected . I finally made sure that I can teleport to his place and started chuckling all by myself like a true villain . Lina who saw the gloomy grin I was making, asked .


"But why did he send you this late?" "It was probably because of the incident caused by Germa . It seems that some gods are now observing other gods in hope to avoid similar problems, that is why Metron-sama sent me here to destroy the magic circle in order to hide this island he made without permission . "


Apparently, the superior gods are considering Germa's case as their mismanagement fault . It's good to see them working on a countermeasure for the next time . After answering Lina's question, this time, it was Sara's turn to ask .


"So? What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to have fun . "


Lina couldn't instantly give an answer to Sara who was folding her arms as she pressed her to reply .


"I'm sorry but, you're correct . "


Apparently not expecting such words to come from Lina, Sara widening her eyes .


"Eh, wait-! Really!? You came here to play?"


Lina nodded silently . Sara was clearly shocked from hearing her answer and held her head as if she was assaulted by a headache .


"You have changed…" "You think?" "Yes! The Lina that I knew would probably have said something like 'how dare you think that I would soil this holy land created by Meteon-sama?!!' also, I can't believe you're getting along this much with your watch target . "


Sara spoke while fixing her gaze on me . She was not mistaken . If Lina didn't change, she wouldn't have brought us to this place to have fun nor she would have talked to me very often . I may not have noticed it as we were together for too much recently, but Lina did change since the day she was abandoned by that annoying kid .

<<<<

"This explains the reason Metron-sama choose me for this task instead of choosing you . " "What!"


Lina couldn't overlook Sara's last comment and reacted with a small shriek .


"Metron-sama told me that you have been acting strange lately . Wait, I guess it would be better expressed as acting normal in this case . "


Sara glanced at me and Karen .


"But I guess it's understandable . It's only natural for you to change this way if you spend your time with these people . It's a good thing to be a normal as a person, though I wouldn't say the same for an angel . "


Sare shook her head sideways as she exclaimed her disappointment . Lina who received her sarcasm, spoke with a voice that had a pitch of anger in it this time, unlike the calm ambiance it had only recently .


"What are you trying to convey here?" "Nothing in particular . I was just thinking of how lame for an angel who serves a god to have their heart affected by a bunch of humans . "


Finally snapping after hearing Sara's last line, Lina released all her killing intent at Sara .


"… take it back . " "What is it?" "I told you to take back your words!"


Noticing Lina's quiet, yet clearly intimidating expression, Sara gripped her hammer and took her fighting stance .


<<<<


"What? You want to fight?"


Apparently, Sara didn't have the intention of yieldingly taking back her words . A heavy and daunting ambiance started flowing between the both of them . Lina enjoyed every single day of her new life in earth . She spent her days talking and sharing her launch time with us . She probably couldn't bear the way Sara called the people, with whom she spent her best times, as a bunch of humans . Lina's fury grew silently stronger as Sara kept freezing in her fighting posture .


"Do you really think you can defeat me? I, who took the first place in the servants test . " "Don't bring back the past now . I heard the news you know . Looks like you're no longer able to use your【feather judgment】skill . "


Lina widened her eyes in astonishment . She didn't expect Sara to be aware of that fact . Ah… Come to think about it, it was me who erased that skill .


"How did you know about it?" "It's quite the famous rumor among us . Judging from your response, it looks like it's true . "

>> >>

Despite having her secret exposed, Lina didn't show a sign of confusion .


"Even if that's the case, then what?" "There's no way you'd win against me if you can't use your special skill . "


Sara enunciated with a triumphant voice, however, Lina still didn't falter .


"Your skill was【CrashVan】if I remember right . A skill that that causes explosions directly after the impact . " "That's right . It's one of the reasons for getting chose to accomplish my current task . "


Indeed, a skill that utterly destroys anything with ease was a proper choice for the mission she received . While the tense mood was on its way to turning into a battle, I contemplated nonchalantly .


"It will still be impossible for you to defeat me with only that . " "I shall destroy that composure of yours then . "


Concluding the brief time of insulting each other, the two angels raised their weapons, preparing for a fight . Ah, this is bad . Urged by the tense ambiance that was about to turn into a fight at any moment, I strode between Sara and Lina without considering the mood .


"Alright, everyone wait . I'd like you to stop this futile conflict . "


Bewildered by my sudden interference, Sara and Lina were both taken aback, enable of hiding their complexed expression . Naturally, I didn't mind their reaction and continued my words by pointing out a few things .


"Lina, I understand your feelings, but this is not the proper time of picking a fight with people . Saya and Karen are her as well, so please be considerate . " "Uu…" "And same to you . Nobody cares about your thoughts and beliefs, but you need to stop provoking Lina . you're only making things troublesome . " "W-what's your problem . Stop acting arrogantly like that…"


Lina obediently agreed with me while Sara tried to object . Though her voice started gradually weakening as I approached her .


"Let me ascertain something . You came here to destroy Metron's teleportation circle, right?" "T-That's correct . Do you have a problem with that?"


Sara answered me with a firm voice . I only replied with " I see…" then placed my hands on Sara's shoulders and made the best friendly smile I could do .


"I'm sorry but… please come back later . " "Eh? Wait—-"


Sara had something to point out about my last request, but she vanished before being able to clearly express it . It would be troublesome if she was to destroy the magic circle . That's why I had her teleported outside the island . Of course, I'm not a scoundrel to teleport her to a cruel place like the ocean . Lina who watched me teleport Saya asked about the place where I sent her .


"Where did you send her?" "Outside the island . "


Hearing me honestly answering her question, Lina made an expression that seemed as if she was sympathizing with Sara . she will have to go through those traps once again . I can't blame Lina for making such a face . Nevertheless, it can't be helped . This is all for the sake of meeting that Metron . I'm ready to do anything in order to achieve that goal .

< >>>> >

"Let's hurry up . "


Ordering to the three girls who were still feeling sorry for Sara, we resumed our search for the magic teleportation circle . We will most likely encounter the little girl behind the voice we heard . Let's get done with this before she comes back .


——————————————————————————- Bonus


One more time


Sara after getting teleported .


"Eh? What! What is this!? What happened?! Is this a desert? No, did I return to my start point!?" "Eliminating all intruders . " "Eh? This voice…" "Gyuroooooo" "Gyoooo!!!" "…… am I going to have to go through this again?" "Desu . " "Nooooooooo!!"
