Chapter 183 Angel Mode

Myne was in a good mood.

Shes been spinning around me for a while now.

[Is this some sort of ritual or something?]

[Im trying to get into whichever way Fate is looking at.]

[No no, youre trying way too hard to do that. Its 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 Sloths suggestion.

[Dont 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 dont break my spine next time.]

[I will keep that in mind.]

If shes looking away from me like that, I have a feeling that shell forget it anyway.

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

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

[Ero hasnt come back yet?]

[Yes, she hasnt. She said that shell return once she gets ahold of the means to travel to Gallia.]

[Isnt she just eating the grass on the road somewhere?]

[Of course she isnt]

[What if shes been kidnapped?]

[Dont get ahead of yourself.]

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

Only those with power surpassing 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 dont know what happened between the two. Eris didnt seem to want to talk about it either.

When I saw her showing such a moment of weakness whenever Libra is involved, I couldnt 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 its true, then Libra wouldnt 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, theres another magic power signature following her.

[This isdont 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 mustve hated that guy very much.

Then why?

Eris always acted unusual around Libra. She said that shed 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, theres only silence now.

In the last battlefighting 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 its the only way to prevent the Door to His land to open up.

[Fai! This sign!]

[Its 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. Cant 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]

Its 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 thats the case he wouldve acted much sooner.

Its simply too hard to understand Libras goal, no matter how hard I think about it.

[We cant have Libra inside Hausen. Lets 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, shes wearing a neat looking maid uniform.

[Im sorry, again.]

[Its alright. Ill be watching Fate-samas heroic figure from here. Im no longer a Holy Knight after alland not even a warrior.]

[Mimir..]

[Come now, Im 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, Im 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. Its 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. Lets go.]

[Alright.]

Making full use of our stats, we rushed out.

If we use the main road, well probably injure the passersby though.

[Lets go through the rooftops.]

[I suppose that is for the bestkyah]

Roxy let out a little yelp.

Shes 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 Roxys back.

[Im 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, Snows expression instantly changed.

Her countenance became more alert.

And she grabbed hold on Roxy even tighter.

[Lets fuse!]

[Eeeeh, right here right now!?]

[Goo-!]

[I havent prepared my heart yet.]

It was a forceful fusion without waiting for Roxys 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 youre 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!]

Itll 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 didnt have the protection of Area E, my body wouldve 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 couldve been fighting at the moment. Libra had never really hesitated after all.

Its always good to be careful. I thought so as I clenched my grip on the black swords handle.
