Chapter 197 - CH. 199: Like A Cat
"You\'re back."
My smile froze as another blonde stepped from Gabriel\'s back. She twirled a lock of her blonde hair and gave an awkward smile. "Uhmm, Hi?"
The pair of Sandalphon and Gabriel standing together looked kinda odd. Sandalphon was a tad taller with her athletic figure and C-Cup breasts covered by a stark white dress with a golden accent, long, toned legs wrapped in white stockings. Although she lacked Gabriel\'s innocence, her toned body gave her an undeniable charm, which I overlooked in our fight.
What was she doing here though?
Gabriel stepped back and pushed Sandalphon until the blonde was right before me. "Don\'t forget our objective!"
Sandalphon let out a dry chuckle and scratched her cheek. "Asahi, I\'m sorry for attacking you last time. I lost my calm when I saw Miss Lucifuge."
I shook my head. "The fault was ours."
I mean, I barged into the church with a devil. She only came there to fill her duties.
"Still, I attacked a friend of our Lord," she said. Eyes shut, she lowered her head. "I\'ve to apologize for that."
Gabriel nodded at Sandalphon and turned to me. "Will you forgive her, please?"
"There is nothing to apologize for."
Sandalphon\'s figure shrunk at my words. "Lord will never forgive me for my offense… Lord will never forgive me for my offense… Lord..."
The words repeated in her mouth like a broken record.
"Okay, I forgive you... Jeez, what is wrong with you?"
She looked up and gave a bright, angelic smile as a thin golden halo appeared on her head. Seeing her smile so sweetly stirred my heart… where is the strong woman I fought?
"Thank you."
I rubbed the back of my neck. "No problem. Where is your Father?"
"Father is busy," Gabriel said as she approached and linked her arms with mine. "Father sent us to act as your tour guides for our home until he is not busy!"
I couldn\'t help but glance at the soft globes swallowing my arm between them. I dispelled the softness from reaching my head, consequently stopping the blood rush in my body.
God knew my nature, yet he sent two innocent angels to guide me… what the hell is he conspiring now? Was he trying to hook me up with them?
I shook my head at the possibility of him throwing his daughters at me.
"Lead the way."
This building floated on endless fluffy clouds with a vivid sky over my head. The entire realm only had an elevator in the center and two more structures in the distance—God\'s workshop and his inventory. Sandalphon and Gabriel hadn\'t visited this much often, making this realm almost exclusive to the old man God.
Gabriel pulled me toward the elevator. Sandalphon followed by my side. The elevator descended without any hitch.
"Next up is Zebel, where the Seraphs live."
"I also live there," Sandalphon said. "Asahi, you can come there if you want. I\'d love to spar with a strong man like you."
"Spar, huh. I\'d also love to spar with a beautiful woman like you."
She grinned as if pleased by my cheap compliment. "Why are you so strong? I doubt Michael can defeat you."
"Are you that strong?" Gabriel asked, tightening her grip around my arm. The wonderful breasts deformed on my arm while her scent filled the air. "C-Can you end the strife between the three races?"
I met her glazed eyes full of hope and optimism.
"It pained me to see my friends pass… in a meaningless way. I don\'t want it to happen again. Not ever."
This airhead...
"Lady Gabriel," Sandalphon said and shook her head. "An individual can\'t end this violence no matter how strong they are."
Gabriel hung her head and whispered an apology. Seeing her sad, my hands acted on instinct and reached out. Passing through her halo, I patted her head. Gabriel\'s eyes stretched before she closed them and leaned on me. I smiled wryly and continued stroking her fluffy golden hair.
[—\'Headpatting\' ranked up to C.]
Patting an angel leveled up the skill. I felt some invisible energy channeling through my hand. It came out as a faint glow that covered Gabriel\'s head.
Gabriel enjoyed the upgraded headpats, letting out a sound similar to a cat\'s purr. The elevator opened, and I pulled my hand. Gabriel\'s eyes followed my hand. I waved it just for the sake of it, but the angel still traced it with eyes like a hawk as if she was a cat chasing a laser pointer.
Sandalphon stared at me, eyes unblinking. "Lady Gabriel."
Seeing no response, she grabbed Gabriel\'s shoulders and shook her. "Lady Gabriel."
I also did it, bringing the busty angel back to reality.
C-Rank headpats are overpowered...
