Chapter 24: Goodbye, Angelina!Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Davis flew right toward the library.
Since the throne angel had said that he was the little angel who had completed the mission the fastest, it seemed likely that Fiona was not yet back at the time.
Davis rapidly activated the power in his body. Although he could only display half of his power and fly with one wing, he still arrived at the library very quickly,
In the library were only a few older angels reading books. Angelina was pus.h.i.+ng the cart and putting the books back to their original places.
She hummed a tune while pus.h.i.+ng the cart.
“You"re back?”
Angelina saw that Davis had returned and immediately flew to his side.
She stretched out her hand and helped Davis tidy up his messy hair due to flying at high speed. Her movements were very natural.
“Didn"t you come back with Fiona? Why are you alone?”
“We went separately for the mission. I was the first to complete it.”
“No wonder you"re not with her. Most of the time, you"re the person she wants to be with the most.”
Angelina"s voice had always been gentle, as if that habit was gained from years and years of working in the library.
The other angels who were reading saw that Davis had returned and greeted him with a smile.
After Davis smiled one by one to them in response, he turned his head and saw Angelina looking at him with a complicated expression.
“What"s wrong? What"s the matter? You don"t seem too good.”
Angelina reached out her hand and pulled Davis. She said softly, “Come to the back. I have something to tell you.”
Davis saw Angelina"s serious expression and nodded.
They came to the library"s living area, which was in the backyard.
Angelina liked it when the place looked lively, so she planted a lot of flowers and plants in the backyard.
The two of them flew in the air and looked at each other.
Angelina"s eyes were a little downcast, and she said softly to Davis.
“Before you went on the mission, I saw you practicing some martial arts.”
Davis nodded, thinking that Angelina was worried that he had read about martial arts in a book and was practicing them by himself, so he explained, “Some of those martial arts were handed to me by Fiona. They"re very safe, don"t worry!”
“I know. Those martial arts are very safe, but…”
Angelina"s mood was still low. Davis looked at her with a puzzled face. He had no idea what she was so worried about.
“G.o.d has been unfair to you. You only had only one wing when you were born. This means that your foundation is weak. Even if you spend time on these things, I"m afraid it"ll still be difficult for you to improve.”
It was only then that Davis understood that Angelina was worried for him. She was worried that his inability to improve in the future would hurt him.
As a result, he held Angelina"s hand tightly and prepared to comfort her.
“Sigh.” Angelina sighed. “When you were on your mission, I went to look for the seraph Gabriel. I was hoping that he"ll use the seraphim"s divine power to help you rebuild your body.”
Davis"s words of comfort became stuck.
For his sake, Angelina went to request a favor from Gabriel, who was the harshest of the seraphim.
Angelina was an orphaned angel. She usually did not even dare to speak too loudly in the library.
However, she had since made a request to those high and mighty seraphim for Davis"s sake!
Even Davis"s heart, which was as hard as steel, trembled violently.
He hesitated for a moment, then opened his arms and hugged her tightly.
Angelina said to herself, “But he didn"t agree. Instead, he said to me, ‘The Angel was created by Father G.o.d. Everything was arranged. There"s nothing I can do about it."”
As expected, Gabriel refused.
Davis was just an ordinary angel, and even if he could be treated, a huge price would have to be paid for it.
It was unnecessary to spend all those resources on a little angel like him.
Although Davis felt that it was better for Gabriel to refuse, Angelina was still very disappointed.
She felt that she could not make her little angel better again.
Davis was feeling a little helpless against Angelina"s self-reproaching.
Angelina was the one whom he spent the most time with and she looked after him wholeheartedly.
“O great seraph, I can take care of this child. Let me take care of this poor single-winged angel. I guarantee that he won"t suffer any wrong.”
Davis remembered those words clearly.
However, he could not tell her about his situation and spare her from her worries, as he was unsure how big of a blow it would be to her if he told the devout Angelina the truth of him being a half-demon.
Inside Paradise Island, the one person he trusted most was the hidden fallen angel Liv.
Regrettably, Angelina was the person closest to him, and not even Fiona was as close to him as Angelina was.
Since Fiona was a war angel saint who died on the battlefield of G.o.ds and demons in her previous life, she was very hostile to demons.
Davis"s ordinary demon bloodline was a huge hidden danger in their close relations.h.i.+p .
Angelina looked at Davis, who was deep in thought, and thought that he was disappointed at not being able to get a complete pair of wings. As a result, she comforted him.
“I"m sorry. I really want you to have a complete pair of wings. You can fly all over the world and see all kinds of things. I"m from the outside world, so I know that this world is very big. You should have noticed that the outside world is very different from Paradise Island when you went out.
“The world there is also very beautiful. There are huge mountains, endless oceans, and even bigger jungles and deserts than Paradise Island…”
Davis saw Angelina"s self-reproach and said, “This time I went to the human world, it"s nothing great. It"s not as comfortable as our library.”
Seeing Davis"s nonchalant look, Angelina also broke into a smile. “Actually, I don"t like the outside world. I prefer to keep myself busy in the quiet library.”
Seeing that Angelina"s mood had improved a lot, Davis brought her for a stroll in the sea of flowers and coaxed her into happiness again.
Along the way, he even used his divine spell to attract many b.u.t.terflies that flew around her, which improved her mood considerably.
…
In the blink of an eye, three months had pa.s.sed.
Davis"s worries about being exposed and purified never came to fruition.
Half a month after Davis"s return, Fiona returned too…
