Chapter 79: The angel was surprisingly decent. (1/2)

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 couldnt 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 didnt look that way to me. Hearing my impression of her, Sara got seemingly offended and spoke in a displeased manner.

Hey, dont 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 didnt want to remember because of Saras straight mock, shouted with a voice that exuded her embarrassment. Hm? Her reaction was strange. I didnt expect her to react in such a way, honestly.

Didnt 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 cant 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 couldnt 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. Its 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 cant read the mood.

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

Lina who didnt 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 didnt 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-Whats your problem?

When I got too close to her, Saras 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 its still functioning until now.

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 Germas case as their mismanagement fault. Its good to see them working on a countermeasure for the next time. After answering Linas question, this time, it was Saras turn to ask.

So? What are you doing here? Dont tell me youre here to have fun.

Lina couldnt instantly give an answer to Sara who was folding her arms as she pressed her to reply.

Im sorry but, youre 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 cant believe youre getting along this much with your watch target.

Sara spoke while fixing her gaze on me. She was not mistaken. If Lina didnt change, she wouldnt 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 couldnt overlook Saras 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.
