"Ah, it seems you slept well last night..."
Early the next morning, when Helair ca up with food, both Fisher and Tangze Asuka were still not fully awake. It wasn’t until they heard Helair’s words that Fisher sat up, because the terrifying noise of the Sun Ring hadn’t sounded this morning. So when the peaceful sunlight shone through the Sealing Cage onto their bodies, they all began to sleep in.
"Has the Sun Ring stopped?"
"Ah, it stopped last night. Finally, so peace. Every ti Lord Michael’s Sun Ring sounds, not only the Holy Land, but even the ground and the World Tree can hear it clearly, and they all have a lot of complaints about it~"
Helair sat down in the middle of the room with a troubled expression, distributing the fruits she had brought to Hooked kiss and Fisher. When she looked at the still drowsy Tangze Asuka, her smile deepened, and she asked,
"Did you feel hosick last night?"
"Eh?"
Tangze Asuka’s mind cleared a bit. She turned her head to glance at the writings on the wall behind her. She wondered why Helair could understand the Japanese she wrote, but before she could question it, Helair spoke first,
"That transferee from the Fifth Day wasn’t very clear-minded when he first arrived. Lord Michael said so foreign object invaded his body, giving him a ntal illness... Every ti he had an episode, he said things we couldn’t understand, but it probably ant he missed the place he ca from. Later, when Lord Michael personally removed the prosthetic from his body, he got a little better. You’re younger than him, so your hosickness should be deeper?"
"Ah...yes, but it’s better now. Thank you, Helair Angel."
"...That’s good."
Watching Tangze Asuka hug the fruit and thank her, Helair smiled and glanced back at Fisher, then stood up and said to Fisher and the others,
"The Sun Ring has stopped rotating, the forging energy of the Holy Land is fully charged, and Lord Michael just finished forging the Gospel Relics. He’s preparing to head to the Sixth Day to seek clues about the World Tree Tear. You can co back to the Fifth Day with ."
Hooked kiss was the first to stand up, raised a hand to Helair, and said,
"Before that, can I send a letter ho? It’s not too much trouble; I’ve marked it specially, just toss it into the sea, and a school of fish will take it ho for ."
Fisher glanced at Hooked kiss, completely unable to fathom how he managed such a thing.
But just as he finished speaking, Helair was already eagerly rubbing her hands, looking very interested,
"Sure, no problem. Give the letter, and I’ll throw it into the sea for you... Rest assured, I definitely won’t open it to see what’s inside, nor will I write anything extra in it. You can trust ."
"..."
Faced with Helair’s unreliable assurance, Hooked kiss forced a smile and wisely took back the envelope, saying instead,
"Forget it then. Upon reconsideration, I think the contents of this letter need further thought. I’ll throw it into the sea myself after thinking it through, if there’s a chance."
Unperturbed by the polite refusal, Helair rely responded "Alright" before turning and leaving the Sealing Cage, walking towards the cylindrical passageway from before, while gesturing with her hands behind her back, obviously towards Fisher.
Tangze Asuka was still putting on shoes. After hesitating for a mont, Fisher stood up and was the first to follow the smiling Helair Angel walking ahead. This angel’s rank was very high, but Fisher only felt intimidated when they first t; afterward, apart from her mischievous nature, there was nothing particularly special about her.
"Did you sleep well last night? There are no blankets or bedding that other races love in the Holy Land, as we’re all nocturnal creatures who don’t sleep, so we had to let you sleep on the ground."
Fisher glanced at her and found her expression relaxed, with most of her body concealed beneath a loose white robe, making it difficult to tell her gender apart from her face. However, just imagining it, angels transford into won should be very beautiful, and it would be great to have her added to his "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual,"
"It was okay, except it was a bit chilly at night."
"Hmm, that’s normal. After all, the food I gave you is only fruit. I’ve heard races living inside the Snow Realm must eat a lot of at to maintain body heat..."
"You angels don’t eat, where do you get your energy from?"
"The Sun."
Helair looked back at Fisher with a smile and then pointed to the circular Light Halo above her head, explaining,
"Our bodies and souls can draw nourishnt by absorbing energy, and the halo on top of our heads is the organ we use to store energy. You can determine an angel’s current state by the brightness of the Light Halo on her head; the brighter, the better the state."
Fisher noted this down silently and then looked at the two pairs of ethereal blue-gold wings behind her, continuing to ask,
"What about the wings?"
"They are symbols of our rank and attributes. Four wings an I’m at the Seventeenth Rank; blue-gold wings indicate I’m a Powerful Angel. If it were Wisdom Angels like Lady Gabriel, their wings would take the form of eyes; if they were seat angels, their wings would be an indefinite light silver-gray, and the halo on their heads would have an additional ring, symbolizing their ability to walk in the mortal world."
