Chapter 163 – The Girl With Blue Hair

Leaving behind the Heavenly Demon’s howl, Cayenne and I left the restaurant.

In the process of escaping, she was caught by the fierce grip of the Heavenly Demon and almost dragged into training, but…

“Thanks for getting out of here, thank you Cayenne.”

At Cayenne’s words that I should go to receive the oracle together as the hero’s agent, she released me, as if it was difficult for even a heavenly horse to interfere with the work related to the goddess.

Of course, I gnashed my teeth to see you in training later, but… Is there anything special?

“…Partner.”
“Yes?”
“Partner, not the Cayenne.”
“..Yes, thank you, partner.”

As I call my partner, Cayenne nods her head in satisfaction and smiles faintly. If I were a woman, wouldn’t I have giggled at that smile?

The damn thing is, if it was like before, I would have been angry just by looking at that smile, but these days, strangely, I don’t feel the anger boiling inside me.

‘..Is this something like a hidden effect of the title of Hero’s Companion?’

There is a possibility. The link also fits when I consider that my dislike for Cayenne has diminished since she began training in the Order for her appointing ceremony her.

Fuck, it sucks to think like that, isn’t it because the goddess is a BL monster and wants to tie Cayenne with me?

“What are you thinking so deeply about, partner?”
“..Nothing. She’s just thinking why Olga called. Do you know why I called you?”

When I asked around Cayenne’s words, she shook her head as if she didn’t understand Cayenne either.

“I don’t know, but isn’t it something very important? Something like blocking the demon king’s schemes, or getting rid of the corrupt person making deals with the demon king’s army.”
“… There is definitely a possibility, considering the dungeon practice right after the midterm exam.”

Senia’s first death flag, dungeon practice.

Students in each class go to the half-cleaned dungeon prepared by the academy, formally learn how to fight demons and learn how to explore dungeons…

In fact, it is a kind of ‘picnic’ run by the academy. Along with the demon hunting.

Just as nobles in history have a hunting culture in the original world, nobles in this world enjoy hunting things like goblins and low-level monsters.

Preparing for the dungeon practice immediately after the midterm exam is like a picnic arrangement that will change the mood of stressed students, but the problem is that the demons attack and the atmosphere changes.

‘In the original work, I was criticized a lot for drifting in a light academy atmosphere..’

In that raid, teacher Senia, who was leading the children instead of homeroom teacher Sergei, dies, and the number of children in the class of over 40 is reduced to less than 20. The rest is because they all became prey for the demons.

Cayenne defends her classmates from her demons and is eventually defeated, and she spares her life thanks to her to Xiao Mei, who barely arrives just in time.

Even the kids I recommended, all of them got off at that part saying it sucked and started filtering out my recommended novels. I ate it because I liked the taste.

Anyway, as far as I can remember, the people behind the monsters were always the same. Asmodian General Gartuka. He is a high-ranking demon, and the one who gave Cayenne his first defeat her.

‘As long as he’s a general, even Olga would be wary… So I’ll definitely kill him this time too.’

The number of students killed by the guy who appeared with only a detached corps and no bodyguards was about 50 or more in all classes, and 2 professors died. He says It’s a villain that’s like a device that informs you of the absurdity of this world…

I’ve already died twice at my hands. I was defeated 3 times by me when I was twisting her body her to save Senia-sensei, so I only saved her life her once and ran away.

‘If you think about it that way, it might not be a very difficult quest.’

*

“Yes? What are you looking for?”

My expectations were wildly missed. No, more than that, I heard something so absurd that it was difficult to judge what kind of nonsense this was.

“Oops, I guess my explanation wasn’t enough. Again, let me explain properly. Are you okay, Kaien?”
“No, what should we understand if you call us out of the blue and then tell us to find an angel?”

When I questioned Dr. Angel’s words as if I was dumbfounded, Priest Thomas scratched his radiant blond hair and made an embarrassed expression.

“Oh dear. I thought that the hero, Kaien-nim, and the hero’s companion, Artin-nim, would have known to some extent in advance… Didn’t they?”

When I looked at Cayenne at that, she shook her head as if she didn’t even know Cayenne.

I looked at the quest window in the status window just in case, but there was no such quest.

“Since you both don’t seem to know, I’d like to explain in more detail… Find an angel in the land of men.”
“No, that doesn’t really explain anything in detail? Where in the human world do you want to find someone?”

Location-〉 in Finding Angels, isn’t it just changed somewhere in the human world?

“… Well, I don’t know where to start explaining. Usually, if I tell you this, he goes out to find you right away… “
“Isn’t it reasonable to explain why you are asking to find an angel in the first place?”

“Aha,” Thomas nodded his head as if he had finally realized it.

“The hero and his agent his…”
“If you skip the Five Hs Principle and explain it, your teeth will be pulled out with the grace of the Goddess.”
“..Ah yes.”

After all, it is clear that Priest Thomas was also trying to give a lengthy explanation with fanaticism out of his own focus.

It’s also a mistake that Priest Thomas in a state of excitement often makes, but he couldn’t figure out why he was so excited.

“While I was praying yesterday morning, I experienced a miracle. It is the miracle of hearing the revelation of the Goddess!”

Damn, I was excited about experiencing a miracle.

“Is it a miracle? If so, what was it about?”
“Ah, I still remember it clearly. An angel with spread wings came down to me and whispered the will of the goddess in my ear with a soft voice..!”
“..So, what was it about?”

When I gave up my bet, Thomas began to shout loudly, his eyes widening with excitement, his snort opening.

“It was a revelation to the warrior and his companion to find the fallen angel! He is the noble angel who chose the noble and holy sacrifice who decided to go to earth to help the warriors!”
“… Chi, do angels fall to the ground? To help people?”
“Yes, it is!”

As soon as I heard that, I wondered what bullshit this was. I’ve seen angels descend and return to the earth 4 times in my life, but I’ve never seen an angel settle down on the earth.

However, since his opponent his is Dr. Thomas, a priest who can bring angels to earth alone without the assistance of a choir or priests, he is a trustworthy person when it comes to angels.

“If that’s true, it’s a serious affair.. Have you heard about the location, appearance, and characteristics?”
“No! With only those words left, the angel returned to heaven!”

Oops, it was a quest with a high level of difficulty.

“Then how do you find that angel? He fell from the sky, so maybe his skin is black?”
“..What nonsense is that? If an angel fell from the sky, would n’t his skin go black? Even if you are naturally dark skinned.”
“I guess so, right?”

Unfortunately, the settings of some demon hunting games I’ve seen in real life didn’t seem to work in this world.

“But I can’t travel all over the world… What should I do with Cayenne?”
“…Well, let’s unleash the spirits and find someone who feels the divine power.”
“Any way is fine. I would appreciate it if you could find it as soon as possible. If a real angel came down to the human world as a mortal, the church would really like to enshrine it!”

The shining eyes of Dr. Angel, the experience of miracles, and the experience of faith in the advent of angels seem to have deepened the already burdensome faith.

“Still, midterms are busy, so can I visit you after the midterms?”
“..Hey, it’s a revelation from the goddess, wouldn’t it be better to resolve it as soon as possible?”

Is it like that too? Certainly an angel would be of great help.

Quest: An angel who descended to earth

The great angel, Sardiel, has chosen to go to earth for humans!
You must find Sardiel at the request of Dr. Thomas, who received the revelation!
In particular, the agent of the warrior must take good care of Sardiel!

Quest Reward: Companionship with the angel Sardiel.
Traces found so far: 0. You get a clue every time you find 3 of them.
Remaining quest completion time: 30 days
─────────────────

At that time, the quest notification on the status window appeared in front of my eyes. An angel really did fall.

“Do you think we can relax a bit? I just got a revelation and they say there are 30 days left.”
“Oh oh!? Did Artin-nim receive a revelation?! The one who is also the companion of the warrior..! A divine being who deserves the kiss of the saintess! Would you like to discuss the revelation with me?”
“There is not. Enough for today because I’m supposed to be taking lessons from the Heavenly Demon! Let’s go, partner!”
“Ah, ah…! Wait a minute Artin! Whatever it is!!”

I escaped the priest’s office with Cayenne before being captured by Priest Thomas. If you get caught by that human, it would be impossible to take lessons from the Heavenly Demon today.

Of course, looking at the condition of the Heavenly Horse, that wasn’t too bad, but among lunatics and gangsters, I think a gangster is better.

“Receiving a revelation… Means that a quest came up in the status window, partner?”
“Oh, right. Since you don’t have a status window, you can’t get something like this, right?”
“..Right, can you tell me what it is about?”

At Cayenne’s question, I nodded and shared the contents of the status window.

“…Very specific? Besides, do you have to take good care of it?”
“I don’t know, it’s my first time doing a quest like this…”

I know that the angel Sardiel made a noble decision, but I’m not a warrior, so you want me to take care of an angel?

“Is there some kind of linked quest?”
“A linked quest..?”
“If you clear one quest, it means that several quests are prepared after that.”

As expected, looking at what I said, it might be a quest with a lot of rewards.

‘Somehow, was it because of this that Artine’s body specs were ridiculously weak?’

Receive rewards through chain quests and gain strength with your colleagues. With this, it should be able to catch up with Cayenne, which continues to grow like crazy.

Even if the reward isn’t necessarily physical specs, if you think of Unicor, having an angel as a companion is sure to be a huge advantage.

If you think of the angels who descended to the earth who slaughtered the demons with a single swing of the sword in the 3rd playthrough, they must be stronger than most of their comrades, right?

“..By the way, how do we find this angel Sardiel?”

There’s no way there’s an angel I know, and even Thomas, the angel doctor, didn’t know at all. Should I just search for it with divine power?

‘Isn’t it still pretty? The angel I saw at the appointment ceremony the other day was also very pretty.’

Let’s remember the time of the appointment ceremony. I remembered the blue-haired angel winking at me. An angel like that is welcome no matter how many times you find it.

“…Uh?”

Why does this suddenly pop up?
