"Astral Dress…"
Shido looked at that outfit of thin gauze and swallowed.
If everything before this could still barely be explained as Nia acting like she had chuunibyou, then now, the appearance of an Astral Dress made him completely understand the fact that she was a Spirit.
"…"
Mikoto quietly moved in front of Shido, shielding him behind her.
Although Nia did not look hostile, when facing a Spirit with her full power, Mikoto was still sowhat worried that she might do sothing harmful to Shido.
"Can't you two give so kind of reaction? I transford especially for you. Are you treating like an idiot?"
Seeing the two's expressions, Nia said in dissatisfaction.
"Eh?"
Hearing that, Shido scratched his cheek, not knowing what to do. Mikoto also tilted her head, and the tense atmosphere in the room simply vanished.
"Leaving the girl aside, boy, shouldn't you be more surprised? Look at this Astral Dress. The half transparent light veil, the bewitching slit at the thigh—you can clearly see my body lines."
As Nia spoke, she raised one leg and placed it on a chair. Because of that movent, her snow white thigh was exposed through the opening of her Astral Dress.
"Ugh…"
For a mont, Shido had no idea where to put his eyes.
"That's right, that's right. A young boy should have desire like this. Ah, don't tell the boy is a leg man?"
Seeing Shido's reaction, Nia said with a grin.
"Shido is… a leg man?"
Hearing Nia's words, Mikoto also tilted her head.
"I'm not! Don't make senpai misunderstand!"
Shido shouted awkwardly.
In order to move away from this overly delicate topic, he showed a serious expression and asked:
"Nia, what exactly are you thinking? I an—why do you know about , and why do you know that I date Spirits?"
Shido's question was also what Mikoto wanted to know.
No matter what, Nia had shown an understanding of Shido far beyond the normal range.
"Ah, that."
Nia put her leg down from the chair, raised her hand, and said:
"Out of professional ethics, I don't really want to reveal my Angel, but I'll treat this as special service—Rasiel."
The next instant, space began to twist, and a huge book appeared in Nia's hand.
(An Angel!) x2
Even without anyone saying it, the two instinctively sensed what it was.
"My Angel, Rasiel, is an omniscient Angel."
"Omniscient?"
Shido frowned.
"It ans exactly what it sounds like. Rasiel can tell everything in this world. For example—which road you two would take ho today."
Nia said proudly.
"I see. So that's why you knew about Shido, and why you pretended to faint from hunger there."
Mikoto nodded.
"But I still don't understand. Even if it's an omniscient Angel, why did you think to investigate Shido?"
She still could not understand.
Even if it was omniscient, Nia herself probably had to use it, right? In other words, what Mikoto wanted to know was not why Nia had learned about Shido, but Nia's motive for investigating him.
"You don't have to be so wary. I didn't have any special aning in looking for the boy. I just wanted to see the boy with my own eyes. Even if I can get information about you through Rasiel, seeing it once is better than hearing about it a hundred tis."
Nia said.
"And I also wanted to thank you."
Finally, she said that.
"Thank ?"
Shido and Mikoto looked at each other. Neither of them understood what Nia ant.
"Huh? You don't rember? You heard my call and helped shoot down the transport plane. That's how I managed to escape."
Nia said in surprise.
"Ah."
After Nia reminded him, Shido suddenly rembered that during his berserk state, he had indeed heard so kind of call.
"So it was about that? That's true. Shido fired a spiritual power wave toward the distance."
Mikoto also understood what Nia ant.
At the ti, in order to capture the berserk Shido, everyone had tried all kinds of thods. But at the end, Shido had suddenly fired a spiritual power wave and pierced through the entire building.
Back then, they had thought it was only Shido's unconscious action. She had not expected Nia to be related to it.
"Wait… you said transport plane?"
Shido was sowhat concerned by Nia's words.
"Mm, a DEM transport plane. I was captured by them five years ago. Because of that, my serialization was forced to stop too. It was all because of that woman nad…"
Nia flipped through Rasiel, then said:
"Ah, right. It was that woman, Ellen Mathers. She ambushed ."
"Um… are you okay?"
Hearing Nia's words, Mikoto asked uneasily.
She had not expected this Spirit to have fallen into DEM's hands five years ago.
"Actually, I don't rember very clearly. I think there were a lot of machines trapping , and it was really annoying. Ah! The worst thing was that during that period, I couldn't draw manga at all! After not holding a pen for so long, my touch beca rusty."
Nia said unhappily.
Hearing Nia's words, Mikoto showed a confused look.
"Wait, isn't your Angel omniscient? Then why were you still captured?"
Shido asked.
"Honestly, on this point, you aren't as sharp as the girl, boy. Although my Rasiel knows everything in the world, it can only tell the information I want to know. It can't predict the future or automatically warn of danger."
"I see. I thought it was an amazing ability, but it still has limits."
Shido scratched his cheek and said.
"You sure can talk, boy. But it seems you still don't understand—the power of Rasiel."
Nia narrowed her eyes.
"Rasiel is an Angel that records facts. In other words, everything written on it is also true. If I do this…"
Nia removed a pen ornant from the head covering of her Astral Dress, then began drawing on Rasiel.
A few minutes passed.
"I said, what are you doing?"
Shido asked.
"Just wait a little longer."
Nia was still buried in her drawing.
A few more minutes passed.
"Okay, this should be about right."
Nia stopped her pen, then tapped the cover of Rasiel with her fingertip. Along with Nia's movent, Rasiel gave off a faint glow.
"Wh-what's going on?"
Shido had no idea what Nia was planning.
On the other side, although Mikoto could guess that Nia must have done sothing, because there was no hostility, she did not unfold a barrier.
"You'll know right away. It should be about ti to execute."
"Huh? Wait…"
As Nia spoke, Shido discovered that his body had begun moving on its own.
"Eh? Shido… what are you doing?"
Under Mikoto's shocked gaze, Shido suddenly turned around, walked to her side, then reached out and grabbed her chest.
