"O' dear God. Bless this angel with your strength. Use me as your sword, as your messenger, and as your servant. As long as I'm alive, I will offer you my undying loyalty," Ramiela solemnly said.
After that, she went silent and a white glow appeared around her. Her blonde hair turned black and large white wings unfurled on her back. She turned to the very image of a divine angel.
But just as the glow was reaching its peak, it suddenly disappeared and Ramiela was left kneeling awkwardly with her wings still unfurled. As for her hair, it had already turned back to blonde.
"Eh? What's going on? Why isn't it working?" Ramiela said in confusion as she looked around her body.
"I told you, I'm not a god," Lawrend replied calmly.
After not believing him earlier, this should be enough.
"N-No! You didn't agree, God! If you had agreed then it wouldn't have failed!" Ramiela said desperately.
"Why are you so desperate to serve me? You already have a god to serve, don't you?" Lawrend asked her in confusion.
"T-That's because the Goddess never showed herself to me. I can't serve someone like that," Ramiela replied shyly.
For her, who was an angel, to say something like that, it's embarrassing. She was supposed to have unbreakable loyalty, but she doesn't. That's enough to turn her into a fallen angel if other angels heard of it.
"Hmmm… So you feel that you aren't valued enough?" Lawrend said to her as he held his chin in thought.
"Yes! Even though I always act cold and emotionless, I still have my own emotions. I can't put my heart into serving the Goddess that never showed me her appreciation. It has been so many thousands of years since I was born yet I never saw a glimpse of her," Ramiela said in explanation.
"How old are you?" Lawrend asked.
"*Cough* Master, you shouldn't ask that to a woman," Aezel said behind Ramiela.
"I was just curious," Lawrend replied.
"I'm confused. I-I think you're a god, but you really aren't?" Ramiela said.
She felt heartbroken right now. She thought she had the chance to experience having a sense of purpose by serving another god. It turned out that she was mistaken.
"I'm not." Lawrend shook his head at her.
"Then why do you have the Divine Lightning of Genesis and the divine essence?" Ramiela asked.
"I don't know. I got them by coincidence," Lawrend replied.
"How? If you aren't a god, then you're a simple human. How could a human possibly do that?" Ramiela asked with disbelief plastered on her face.
"You see, Master is really talented. That's why I even allowed him to impregnate me in the first place," Aezel replied to her proudly with her chest puffed up.
Boasting about her master was something she found fun and delightful. After all, she's getting on her master's good books by doing so.
"Y-You bear the child of this human!?" Ramiela asked in shock and trepidation.
"Why? Is it bad?" Aezel asked in confusion.
"Yes! There was never a case of a human impregnating an angel or a fallen angel. You'll be the first one," Ramiela replied.
"Fufufufu. That's an achievement for me," Aezel replied with a laugh.
"No, it isn't! We don't know what the child will turn out to be." Ramiela shook her head vigorously.
"I'm sure the child will be healthy," Aezel replied with a smile on her face.
"My mission is to kill you. How am I gonna kill you now that I learned that you are pregnant?" Ramiela asked her with panic on her face.
As an angel, she has a kind heart, especially towards children. Not to mention that it was an unborn child.
"Why? I never did anything against any angel," Aezel replied.
"The Great Seraphiel doesn't want you alive," Ramiela replied.
"Who is that? I don't even know that angel."
"She's the greatest angel in heaven. Her words decide the actions of all the angels," Ramiela explained.
"How did she know I existed?" Aezel asked.
"As angels, we are sensitive to it when another angel appears or is born. Since you appeared as a fallen angel, we became aware immediately."
"Then… are you gonna kill me?" Aezel asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"No. I can't," Ramiela replied with a shake of her head.
"That's a relief… You're so strong. If you really wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have the chance to fight back," Aezel replied.
"But I can't return without completing my mission…" Ramiela said in a whisper.
"Okay. You can stay in an inn in the city. We'll finance your stay," Lawrend said to her.
"Human… Thank you for your kindness, but I want to stay beside her," Ramiela replied.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Lawrend asked in surprise.
"I want to make sure that she doesn't do anything odd, and I also want to see her baby," Ramiela replied.
"Doesn't that mean that you'll kill her after she gives birth?" Lawrend asked in realization.
"No…"
Aezel walked to Lawrend and embraced his arm. Imagining that she would die before even having the chance to spend time with her baby was scary for her as she always imagined what it would be like once their child is born.
"I don't know… I don't know anymore. Why is my mission so complicated?" Ramiela asked herself in a daze.
"You can live in the Human World as long as you want. You can wait for our deaths when we grow old then you can go back to heaven, right?" Lawrend said to her.
For now, that was the only logical solution he could think of. Since she's an angel, it's safe to assume that she lives a long life. He can simply take advantage of that.
"Ohhh! That's a good idea, Human!" Ramiela widened her eyes in amazement.
None of them would affect the other party. Her impression of Lawrend improved.
He was talented, nice, and a smart human in her eyes.. Someone who's above all the humans she had met in the past.
