Chapter 196 – The Great Archangel Sardiel
The angel we finally found, Sardiel, sat up from the bed with a yawn after a long time after realizing that we were watching him.
Weird. I think I’ve seen that expression and behavior while scratching my stomach and saying that everything is annoying…
‘…Unicor?’
That’s right, in the second playthrough, before he matured, Unicor looked exactly like Sardiel in front of him.
Comic books scattered on the floor, a bag of snacks tucked away next to the bed, even the way people open their stomachs without shame even when there is a person in front of them…
These days, maybe it’s because Unicor has matured, he doesn’t show such a lazy side often. Although it was a look that could only be recalled in memories now.
“Really, is this the angel Sardiel?”
“Honestly, just looking at it, it looks like Unicor when the boy isn’t around on the weekend.”
“…Uh? Is Unicor still like that these days?”
“Yes, not often, sometimes, sometimes when the young master isn’t around.”
Ah… It’s still like that these days…
Somehow, every time I left, the smell of Unicor was soaked in the bed and blanket…
“Huh, Unicor, aren’t you talking too harshly? The one in front of you is an archangel descending from heaven.”
“Ah, sorry… Huh, do you know Unicor?”
When I made a surprised expression, Sardiel smiled with a soft eye smile.
“Then you know everything. Everything about you Artin Ludwig. And even about Shion Idris and our dragon specifications.”
“…Is the child originally a boy?”
“Oops, mistake. Are you mistaken because the one you have now is so pretty?”
At my words, the angel looked towards Karen with a mischievous smile. No, but there is something else to be mistaken about.
“It’s not like that ha… What’s wrong with your expression?”
“Yes?! Nothing! It’s just…Because the image of the angel in my imagination is different!”
“Um… Surely, but… “
Looking at that image, it definitely felt like it was way too far from the image of the angel I expected and remembered.
The last time I saw him at the appointing ceremony as a warrior, it definitely felt more sacred, mysterious and beautiful… After all, aren’t they really fallen angels?
“Your eyes seem full of doubt, don’t you, Artin Ludwig?”
“Well, is the angel acting like an indolent savage with his hair disheveled?”
“Ahaha, that’s for sure. Can I trust you if I do this?”
Sardiel lightly snapped his fingers, and sparks lightly burned around the bodies of the two of us. It was an effect that anyone who saw it would have thought that the 1st circle mage was playing a joke with the small magic, but…
“What? Somehow, it seems that the body is filled with vitality…?”
Shion looked puzzled at the tremendous vitality he felt for the first time, but Karen and I couldn’t help but be astonished as we could tell what spell this vitality came from.
“…’Heavenly Melody’, this high-level voice is exercised so lightly?”
“Blessings that can only be achieved by calling in the choir from the church, so quickly… “
It is a heavenly melody, one of the highest level buffs that does not tire the listener even if they fight for three days and nights. In addition, it is not a buff that can be used simply because you have a talent for sex law.
The reason why the expression “Melody” Is attached to the name of this buff is because it is one of the greatest blessings that can be activated only when it reproduces the heavenly melody on earth.
Therefore, in terms of vocalization, Dr. Thomas, who has the best talent, and Olga, the incarnation of the goddess, can use the same vocalization method, but it will be impossible to use the heavenly melodies alone.
“Even though I’m only allowed to have 4 wings now~ I was also an angel of melody who played musical instruments and took the lead during the great heavenly war in the past, right? Can you believe this?”
The angel Sardiel smiled triumphantly at our expressions. He must be thinking he’s clearly shown the gap between humans and angels.
“No, I believed in angels a long time ago. I also called you an angel in the status window.”
“…What? Okay?”
“However, it is doubtful whether it is an angel who has eaten back. No matter how you look at it, you don’t look like a normal angel.”
“..Eeh? I? Why me?! This lofty posture! Beautiful appearance! Anyone can see that he is a great archangel, right? You even greeted me with an eye smile last time!”
Ah, as expected, it was true that he looked at me and said hello.
“Normal angels descend to the underworld and don’t help create strange cartoons where men fall in love.”
“…”
“No, it’s not an ordinary BL thing, how would you believe it if I claimed that I was a normal angel after making everything from TS to different races in that short amount of time?”
“That…”
At my words, the angel eagerly began to roll her eyes. In my long experience, there was no normal person who showed such a reaction.
Haha, Human Artyn. It must be difficult and difficult to judge Heaven’s great will with human eyes. But did I do all this for you?”
“…Draw a cartoon where I’m crushed by an orc and screaming?”
“Of course, it was all for you. There is nothing that is not for you.”
The voice of the angel Sardiel, who had said that, suddenly echoed, and four wings splendidly spread behind his back. Witnessing the scene right in front of me, I couldn’t help but stop my sarcastic remarks at that moment.
I was convinced that no jewel in this world could shine more beautifully than that woman’s wings. In the meantime, I had witnessed an angel from afar, or for a very short time, but it was the first time to see an angel’s divine form so close and clear.
[Do you believe it, Human Artin Ludwig? Or should I call him Yang Hee-min?]
[…What, what?]
I never imagined that I would hear the name of my real life here. Maybe my expression is completely tinged with astonishment now?
[Don’t worry, ahaha, I’m a guardian angel who cares for and loves you with all my heart. That’s why I personally came to this land to be of help to you.]
[…
[Do not be afraid, ignorance is always fearful, but I gave up everything for you and came down to this earth]
At one point, I even felt a sense of being weighed down by her momentum. This overwhelming presence did not simply spread from the brilliance emitted from its four wings her.
Yes, the feeling is different, but the feeling of intimidation that Mephisto felt when he descended to the Human World. It had the nature of warmly hugging the other person rather than pinning them down, and although the class was different, I didn’t think that the essence was completely different from Mephisto’s.
[Come here, come here and embrace me, I have shared your pain and suffering, sorrow and fear, anger and hatred.]
“Ahhh…”
My feet were trembling. A feeling of resentment filled my heart at the sound of that benevolent voice calling me.
It was probably a similar feeling to when my lovers found their pre-regression memories. The pain of repeating for decades in an unknown place, the joy of knowing someone. Joy, happiness.
Fluff,
Before I knew it, my body was standing in front of Sardiel, kneeling on his knees. Sardiel will lift my body up and put it in his arms his with warm light and pat my back his.
“I know. It must have been very difficult.”
“…”
“You must have blamed yourself for failing several times, but how can it be difficult to always go back to the beginning and start anew, without anyone knowing your heart?”
The moment I heard that, I realized. The fact that this woman soothes me is the fact that she really watched over all my pain and sorrow and looked after her wholeheartedly.
“Don’t worry, your suffering will not last forever, and it will come to fruition someday.”
“…Keep…”
“So, for now, just cry in my arms, that’s fine. Because you deserve it.”
Sadness burst out of my chest. If it was n’t for Senia Sensei, if she could n’t find anyone’s memory of her, she was so emotional that she wondered if she would be able to cry until exhaustion right here.
She had to die 4 times. I couldn’t find anything I heard in that world. And when I opened my eyes, a new world began, but I wasn’t always sure if the people in that world were really my real friends or colleagues.
Still, stupidly, every time, with all my heart, I craved people and craved affection.
Even if this world is a false world created by someone, to me it was more real than reality and like a paradise.
I thought sometimes I’m actually possessed in a novel where nothing has changed, and if everything is fake, then wouldn’t it be okay to just destroy everything?
Even if you don’t have to treat people sincerely, cut people down according to efficiency, and save people according to your mood, wouldn’t it matter if everything is fake? Do.
…However, when the children started to regain their memories, I remember crying sadly in a room left alone without everyone.
For the first time since I was born in this world, I was able to believe that everything was not fake and that I was living in this world.
And the angel who embraced me affectionately told me that my faith was not wrong.
“Ahhh! Whoa, whoa!!!”
“It’s okay to throw up all of it. Because I chose this land to be by your side.”
My choice was not wrong. My sincerity, my actions left a mark in this world.

“Partner…”
Karen approached Artin and patted her on the shoulder, but Artin continued to cry like a child. That fact was very heartbreaking to Karen.
However, I couldn’t blame Artine. When she realized that she was not alone, how grateful she felt to Artin for letting her know her.
No matter how much you have a mind like steel, it’s not used to experiencing everything going back to the beginning.
Not to mention, Karen, who had been watching her from the sidelines, knew how much Artin had endured and ran through the thorny road.
“I…”
At that time, the eyes of the two women turned to Zion, except for Artin, who was wailing loudly at the voice heard from behind her.
Shion’s embarrassed expression, but the two women could understand Shion’s reaction to her. Because this is a sensation that only those who have watched Artin’s suffering from the sidelines can understand.
It must be a sensation that Shion, who stood by Artin’s side for the first time in his life, could not possibly understand. It was a position that they had to broadly understand.
“Shion, I understand that the situation is incomprehensible, but let’s let Artin cry for now.”
“That’s right, Artyn is just tired. If you get some energy here, you’ll come back to the Artin you knew. So…”
“No, that’s not me…”
Shion shook his head at the words of the two. Although she obviously did not experience the regression together, she had heard the story, and because of this, she could understand the current situation even if she could not relate to it.
It wasn’t for that reason that Shion called them and Artin. She slowly picked up the stack of papers lying among the comic books scattered on the floor, and looked at them with a stunned expression.
“That’s not it, these strange comic books… Did you even export them outside the academy?”
“…”
At those words, Sardiel’s body his trembled greatly. Looking closely, what Shion was holding must have been the export report of the comic book that Sardiel had previously inspected.
‘That… Why… Over there…?’
“40 copies to the Republic, 100 copies to the Empire, 50 copies to the Kingdom, and also to each Church and the Undercity… Why on earth did you send them to the Dragon Lord? Besides, per book… How much is this?”
“…”
Despite the fact that angels do not create foreign substances, for some reason Sardiel felt a cold sweat run down his back.
“Besides, to Olga Virtus-sama, a complete set collection… Yes? What is this?”
“Stop it! All of that is Heaven’s great will! Come on, give me those papers!”
Sardiel, who had been shouting urgently, suddenly realized that he couldn’t hear Artin’s cries from a certain moment.
“…..”
“…Ahaha, there is a small misunderstanding. But don’t doubt, I’m here for you.”
“…”
“… Artyn? Say something. Huh? Don’t shut up like that Yes?”
Sardiel, unable to withstand Artin’s stare at him with cold eyes that did not contain any emotion while being held in his chest, his tone and expression his gradually collapsed.
However, Artin’s cold eyes continued to be fixed on Sardiel. Now Sardiel began to have a desire to cry out loud instead of Artin.
Tring!

I apologize on my behalf. Sorry.

In front of Artin’s eyes, an apple in the status window appeared in a different, polite tone.
