As the words of the "Eyeless Angel" Pandora seated in the center ca to an end, the trial against Fisher and his companions also concluded. Except for Gabriel, who remained reclined on his chair, the other Angel Leaders stood up, and the divine light surrounding them grew increasingly radiant, gradually obscuring their complete figures.
Yet, in the final monts, Fisher still saw Emhardt looking pitifully at him, only to be pushed by Michael towards Gabriel’s side...
The next second, the light above dimd bit by bit, and the figures of the seven angels faded away until they disappeared completely.
Hooked kiss let out a sigh of relief but did not fully relax. He turned his head, looking worriedly at Fisher beside him, but seeing that he was simply staring at the place where Emhardt had disappeared, his expression was not very pleasant.
Helair, standing ahead, remained in place, watching the high platform above and shaking his head slightly with a sigh, saying,
"Do not worry, your friend from the book is temporarily safe with Lord Gabriel. It’s much better than being taken by Lord Michael for research. However, he cannot stay on the Sixth Day indefinitely; whether he remains safe depends on how you perform. You all must be tired after such a long trial. Rest here for a while; I have so matters to attend to. I’ll take you to the Fifth Day once I return."
"Alright, thank you."
Fisher nodded, watching Helair slowly walk in another direction until he completely disappeared, and the venue instantly fell silent, leaving only the three unfortunates.
"Mr. Fisher, you are really... I didn’t expect you to speak up to save . I truly have no way to repay this kindness. For a mont there, I thought I would be executed by the angels."
Hooked kiss smiled at Fisher, but soon realized Fisher’s expression was not good at all, montarily stunned. He quickly caught on, incredulously guessing,
"Wait, you... you can’t possibly have no idea how to create such miraculous items, right?"
Just as Tangze Asuka had barely settled down to catch her breath on the ground, hearing Hooked kiss’s words made her heartbeat race again. Her face turned pale as she looked at Fisher beside her.
Right now, she was utterly speechless, as she had likely never encountered a greater setback than not finishing her sumr howork and returning to school with an empty backpack.
And just monts ago, this ordinary high school girl, who had never faced life-or-death threats, felt as if she had ridden a roller coaster, teetering on the edge of life and death multiple tis. Being unable to speak was entirely normal; not fainting from fear was already beyond what most could endure.
Under Tangze Asuka’s trembling gaze, Fisher glanced around, then nodded slightly and said,
"Emhardt was not created by ; I encountered him during my travels. He claid to be an item created by the Angel Species, but I didn’t expect that the current angels lack the ability to create him..."
"This is truly..."
Hooked kiss’s smile grew more strained as he sighed,
"I truly admire you, Mr. Fisher. You managed to lie so extravagantly in front of a group of Angel Leaders without changing your expression. If it were , I would’ve given myself away quickly, yet none of the Angel Leaders noticed a thing... But either way, it’s a matter of life and death. If this gives us more ti to live, I’m satisfied. I still have the chance to send a letter to my wife in the sea."
"A letter? To have her avenge you?"
Fisher teasingly quipped, but Hooked kiss shook his head and sighed,
"Let’s skip that. Although my wife has a bad temper and usually likes to pick fights, in terms of levels among humans, she hasn’t reached the mythical stage. Coming here would only add more resentnt."
"I see... But at the ti, I had no other choice. If we hadn’t done it, we would’ve died imdiately, so under no circumstances could we show weakness. Besides, I do have so leads on how Emhardt was made..."
Fisher touched the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual at his chest, recalling that during his ti at Sema Snow Mountain, he received an item nad the [World Tree Tear] after gathering the Snow Mountain Clan. The item was now tucked inside the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual: a strange, faintly glowing substance. The manual had introduced this item:
"[World Tree Tear: Used as an additive for forging Angel Holy Objects. Legend has it that a master with exceptional forging skills can endow a Holy Object infused with the World Tree Tear with consciousness and thought. This is the pinnacle skill known as the Stealing God’s thod.]"
Clearly, this item is key to forging conscious holy objects.
Holding this unplayed card, how to use it now rests on Fisher’s mind.
Beside him, Tangze Asuka, sitting on the ground, watched Fisher’s profile as he pondered, subconsciously pressing her lips together. It seed as though, at this mont, the overwhelming fear that seed poised to crush her dissipated slightly. She struggled to stand up, her face pale, and stood behind Fisher.
Her sudden rise imdiately attracted the attention of Fisher and Hooked kiss. Fisher saw she was standing fairly steadily without any intention of falling, nodded, and said,
"Are you feeling better? Earlier, I noticed you looked very pale, and thought you were about to faint..."
Tangze Asuka blushed and lowered her head a bit. For so reason, Fisher always felt that this girl from the Otherworld was quite shy and awkward, always liking to lower her head and avoid the gaze of others. But since there was so cultural difference between the two worlds, he didn’t mind too much at the mont,
"No...no, sorry... Until today, I was just an ordinary high school student watching ani at ho, who knew I’d be judged by a character with the sa na as in the ani today."
"Ani?"
"It’s... sothing broadcasted by Tokyo TV Station like ’Neon Genesis Evangelion’. There’s also so Remiel or sothing, seems like the Fifth Angel Thunder Angel or sothing, it’s like a big cross... Ah, ani is a kind of moving picture, it should not exist here, but the stories are still very interesting. I used to watch TV when I got ho, and I really like this work..."
Speaking of that "ani" Fisher had never heard of, Tangze Asuka’s timid deanor finally beca a bit lively. Her speech beca quick and continuous, and although Fisher could completely understand through the rules of the Holy Land, he still felt a bit overwheld, as if seeing another side of this transplant-like timid girl for the first ti.
Tangze Asuka, while speaking, looked up and saw the two handso n in front of her, both looking abstractly at her. Her face beca even redder, she hastily waved her hand and lowered her head, her voice becoming smaller and smaller,
"Sorry, sorry... I shouldn’t say irrelevant things at this ti, sorry."
"No, you just said in your world, there are angels, and the nas are very similar?"
"Yeah... Ah, yes, we don’t co from the sa world, why are there angels with the sa na? Could it be so parallel worlds? Also, thinking carefully, I seem to be familiar with other angels too, I should have heard of them sowhere..."
Fisher quickly realized sothing was wrong from this transfer girl’s words. He turned his head to look at Hooked kiss and saw him also looking surprised,
"This is strange. Angels are creations of Lord Heavenly Lock, and the nas should have been personally given by him. If the nas of angels alone have connections with the Otherworld, could it be that the always unseen Lord Heavenly Lock has been to the Otherworld? In that case, Little Tangze Asuka has hope of going ho."
"Really?"
Tangze Asuka’s eyes lit up slightly; obviously, the wish to return ho was still strong. Her mind had been blank before, but she deeply rembered the na [Heavenly Lock] in her mind, as if it was her hope to return ho.
But Fisher was still pondering, unsure if it was only the nas of the Holy Land that had connections with the Otherworld. He quickly thought of other mythical species. He doesn’t know much about Elf Species, nor has he seen any docunts. Stars should not have invaded reality yet, so, how about demons?
Demon Species are closely related to humans, often appearing in human society as mythical species. There used to be lots of humans who believed in them; then, might there be concepts related to the Otherworld within Demon Species?
"Tangze Asuka, does your world have Demon Species? Can you na a few nas, and let see if they match up with the demon species here?"
"Um, Mr. Fisher, actually, you can just call Tangze. In our culture, Tangze is my family na, so just call that... Regarding demons, hmm, let think, it seems like there are many impressions, but besides Satan, I don’t rember others. It’s strange for demons to have nas..."
Fisher listened to Tangze Asuka’s words, showing a bit of disappointnt. He had never heard of a demon called by that na, thus unable to determine if demons have a connection with the Otherworld...
If Emhardt were here, it would be fine. He not only had connections with angels but also knew a great deal about demons.
But at this mont, Hooked kiss beside him had a sowhat strange expression and patting Fisher’s shoulder, after pondering for a mont, still spoke to Fisher,
"Mr. Fisher, even though I don’t wish to interrupt you... I’ve traveled all over many places in this world, the sea floor, Snow Realm, Dragon Continent, and Tree Continent, I’ve been to them all. But regarding the demon species you said, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of them..."
Fisher’s pupils constricted slightly, sowhat incredulously turned his head to look at Hooked kiss,
"You said...what?"
"I’m saying, the demon species you’re talking about seems not to exist at all..."
Hooked kiss smiled wryly and chose to clarify his words a bit, saying so.
