Chapter 183 Angel Mode


Myne was in a good mood .


She’s been spinning around me for a while now .


[Is this some sort of ritual or something?]


[I’m trying to get into whichever way Fate is looking at . ]


[No no, you’re trying way too hard to do that . It’s weird . ]


[Un? Sloth said it would do me good to do so…]


Again with this “Sloth said it” .


Recently, Myne had been acting really strange .


When asked about it, she always replied that it was by Sloth’s suggestion .


[Don’t tell me Sloth also told you to do that hugging earlier?]


[Nn? That was just me . Actually I may want to do it again real soon]


[Fine… just don’t break my spine next time . ]


[I will keep that in mind . ]


If she’s looking away from me like that, I have a feeling that she’ll forget it anyway .


I guess she wants to hug real tight from time to time .


She’s planning to stay with me for a very long time after all, so I should at least understand her .


[Ero hasn’t come back yet?]


[Yes, she hasn’t . She said that she’ll return once she gets ahold of the means to travel to Gallia . ]


[Isn’t she just eating the gra.s.s on the road somewhere?]


[Of course she isn’t]


[What if she’s been kidnapped?]


[Don’t get ahead of yourself . ]


She possessed a mortal sin skill and was fairly strong in combat .


Only those with power surpa.s.sing that could hope to kidnap Eris .


What first came to mind was the sacred beastkin .


Eris had this past connection with the sacred beastkin Libra .


I still don’t know what happened between the two . Eris didn’t seem to want to talk about it either .


When I saw her showing such a moment of weakness whenever Libra is involved, I couldn’t get myself to ask .


Still, I do know about two things .


Libra has another nickname; Tuner .


And the divine decree he received was most likely to [eliminate anything that can cause disturbance upon the world . ]


If it’s true, then Libra wouldn’t stand still seeing that Gallia continent had risen to the sky .


At the same time, we as the holders of Mortal Sin skill…


While talking to Myne, I was continuously keeping watch for any sign of magic power that approached Hauzen .


So I would know if Eris returned .


[Fate!]


[Yeah, this magic power signature belongs to Eris . ]


Speak of the devil .


Eris was heading toward Hauzen at tremendous speed .


Moreover, there’s another magic power signature following her .


[This is…don’t tell me…]


[Libra, without a doubt . ]


Why is Libra there with Eris!?


Recalling how Eris said that she wanted to get rid of Libra herself this time, she must’ve hated that guy very much .


Then why?


Eris always acted unusual around Libra . She said that she’d fight him, but her fearfulness was obvious even to me .


Could she really partnered up with a person who caused her so much trauma?


[Unbelievable…]


[But there is no mistake . Those are Libra and Eris’ magic power . ]


Myne immediately rushed back to her room to pick up Sloth .


I had been placing my hand on the handle of the black sword on my waist all this time .


At times like this, a certain reliable partner with a particularly bad mouth would already give me some advice .


However, there’s only silence now .


In the last battle――fighting against the sacred beast Aquarius, I lost Greed .


Libra was the person who set up that battle .


Now I have my own grudge against him .


Moreover, he also tried to exterminate Hausen entirely . He may have thought that it’s the only way to prevent the Door to His land to open up .


[Fai! This sign!]


[It’s just as you thought . ]


Roxy, probably noticing as well, rushed to me .


She was already decked out in her battle gear, ready to fight at any time .


[Eris-sama… Why is she together with Libra?]


[I also want to know why . ]


[Indeed . It is nearly unthinkable for those two to actually act together . ]


The two were approaching Hausen from the south .


I tried to look for them from the hill where my mansion is . Can’t see them yet .


[Is Libra aiming for Hausen again?]


[Who knows . The door to His land is already opened . What lies here is only the underground city Grandeur . There are only ghosts who refused to be resurrected there…]


It’s even stranger that he moves around together with a mortal sin skill holder like Eris . But according to Raine, there was lots of valuable ancient information left inside the underground city Grandeur .


Is he coming here because he wants to keep that ancient knowledge a secret?


No, if that’s the case he would’ve acted much sooner .


It’s simply too hard to understand Libra’s goal, no matter how hard I think about it .


[We can’t have Libra inside Hausen . Let’s meet them outside . ]


[Yes . ]


When I was about to run, someone called me from behind .


[Then I will stay behind as an answering machine again . ]


When I turned around, there was Mimir .


Today as well, she’s wearing a neat looking maid uniform .


[I’m sorry, again . ]


[It’s alright . I’ll be watching Fate-sama’s heroic figure from here . I’m no longer a Holy Knight after all…and not even a warrior . ]


[Mimir… . . ]


[Come now, I’m but your maid servant . And also your sister . ]


She gave me a maid salute with a slight smile on her face .


[Fai! Hurry up!]


I heard Roxy urging me to go .


[Brother, come on now, go forth!]


[Yeah, I’m off . ]


[Be careful on your way . ]


Like the maid to her lord… and like a sister to her brother, Mimir bowed deeply as she saw me off .


I stroked her head gently in return . It’s not like this is our final farewell .


[I leave Hausen in your care . ]


[Yes, as you wish . ]


I nodded back after Mimir raised her head and nodded .


Then I turned toward Roxy, who patiently waited for me .


The signs of the two magic powers had been getting closer and closer .


[Sorry for the wait . Let’s go . ]


[Alright . ]


Making full use of our stats, we rushed out .


If we use the main road, we’ll probably injure the pa.s.sersby though .


[Let’s go through the rooftops . ]


[I suppose that is for the best…kyah]


Roxy let out a little yelp .


She’s not even falling or tumbling . What in the world is she…


When I turned to her, there was already the crimson haired Snow latching on Roxy’s back .


[I’m playing too~!]


Perhaps she had misunderstood us running on top of the roofs as playing some sort of a game .


[What a bully to leave me out!]


[We are not playing here . ]


[Really?]


Snow looked back at me while tilting her head .


[Yes . We are leaving Hausen to head south . Where Libra is . ]


[Libra… . . ]


Upon hearing that name, Snow’s expression instantly changed .


Her countenance became more alert .


And she grabbed hold on Roxy even tighter .


[Let’s fuse!]


[Eeeeh, right here right now!?]


[Goo—-!]


[I haven’t prepared my heart yet . ]


It was a forceful fusion without waiting for Roxy’s agreement .


Wrapped by dazzling light, Roxy Angel Mode appeared with a bang!!


Unlike me, she had four white wings .


And an angelic halo shone above her head .


She looks divine no matter how many times I look .


[Fai! Can you stop gawking at me and get going already?]


[Ah sorry . I just think that you look beautiful]


[… . I am glad to hear that, but it is not the time for this kind of thing!]


[I know . But now that you’re in that form, why not make a full use out of it?]


[I guess it cannot be helped . ]


Roxy flapped her wings and started floating in the air . She then swooped in and hugged me .


My feet slowly lifted off from the rooftop .


This floaty feeling is somewhat comfortable to me .


Flying in the sky feels good no matter how many times you have experienced it!


[Alright then, I shall go full speed ahead!]


[Please do!]


It’ll be even more exciting from here .


The reason was simple .


Roxy had been training herself to be more proficient in using this Angel Mode of hers ever since she first obtained it .


I helped her in this training, so I knew how it was pretty well .


Dooooooooooooooo!!


A tremendous air pressure hit me .


Sound of air being broken through at a piercing speed of sound echoes through Hausen .


If I didn’t have the protection of Area E, my body would’ve probably turned into scattered pulp .


But with this, we should be able to reach Eris and Libra in no time at all .


I need to know what in the world is going on .


The two could’ve been fighting at the moment . Libra had never really hesitated after all .


It’s always good to be careful . I thought so as I clenched my grip on the black sword’s handle .
