Angel, I need you to get something for me.
"Yes?

　I whispered to Angier.
　Angier nodded and

We'll take care of it.

　And ran into the mansion.

　While Angel is moving, father and his merry band are in full banquet mode.
　Let's leave it alone.

　Now that we've built up enough strength to compete with each other, when Angel comes back--we'll fight back.

We will fight back.

　Suddenly Eliza said something like that.
　When I looked at her, her eyes were quite serious.

"What?　Why?
"Why? ......

　Now he was awestruck.

"They were trying to get you, because they were in a bad way.
Yes.
It's been manageable so far, but you don't know what's going to happen.
You don't know when you - the people around you - are going to come to blows.
That's okay.
"Huh?

　Eliza, who had been yelling at me with such force, is flabbergasted.

What do you mean you're okay?
This time I know better, I'm the only one who will be targeted.
"...... basis

　Eliza was still Eliza.
　She was smart, rational.
　As is often the case in such situations, "Why not? And without getting emotional.

　So I was able to explain calmly, too.

"First of all, Astaroth, Azazel, and Markosius. You know that both gods and angels are stuck in the rules of this world, the rules of being a good person or not.
Yeah, they all did something and fell, and then Alec did something about it.
And you know, this divine punishment was the weakest--not the sharpest--that I've ever seen.
"Sharp?
Yeah, he's always done that, but this time he was more focused on me. Do you know what that means?

　Eliza thought for a moment and glanced at your father and his merry band of friends.

"I didn't want to involve them.
That kind of thing. I think even the Creator God is in the logic of the world.
I'm sure of it.
You're so sure of that, aren't you?
"Yeah. . ...... snobbery.

　You can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.

It's not that much of a good deed or virtue to kill me alone, but I think it's a waste of time to involve ordinary people as well.
I see. But that doesn't change the fact that they'll always be after Alec.
Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.
".................. That's right.

　After an awfully long silence.
　I don't know why I was a little dumbfounded on the way.

　Eliza nodded and put on a satisfied face.

Surely there was no problem. As long as you were the only one targeted for what you could handle.
"Yes.

　The explanation was over and Eliza was convinced.
　Just then, Angel came back.

"Sorry for the delay, Mr. Alec.
"It's a ...... bag?

　Eliza tilted her head again when she saw what Angel was carrying when she came back.

''Yes, a food bag. I usually carry it with me, but as expected, it's divine punishment, and I left all my belongings except for the Philosopher's Sword to focus on.
Why did you let them bring it all the way over here?
"Wait a minute.

　I brought an angel out of the shadows.

　An angel who was frozen perpetually and made to stop every hour.
　In the ice, she still has a thoughtful look on her face.

　I defrosted it.

"--me.
"Shh. ......

　The moment she returned, the angel prepared to continue what she had tried to say.
　I silenced her with the classic gesture of putting my index finger to my lips.

'Huh?　Huh?　What?

　The angel, whose momentum was diminished by my gesture, was surprised and puzzled to notice that the scenery around her was different.

What kind of ...... is that?
I've got a better idea than that.
A good thing?


"Yeah, do you know what this is?
"It's ...... the food you're collecting
"So . I'm buying and storing surplus food in the territory. It's enough to feed all the territories in the Alexander League for years.
What about it?
"In.

　Hold out your hand, use the magic.
　Raise the soil from the earth and generate water from the air.
　Mix the two together.

Muddy water?
Yes, not only that, but I've made a slight material change and put the source of the disease in here.
"Haha. ......
It's .......
""Ah!"

　Angels, Eliza, and Angel .
　All three were surprised at my behavior.

　I put sick mud in my food bag.

Why?
What a waste. Now I've ruined food for hundreds of thousands of people.
"Huh?
"...... I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm not in the mood for a drink.

　So Elisa says and Angel and Angel huffed.
　Elisa adds.

"No matter how extravagant the emperor is, he could not have wasted so much money.
That kind of thing.

　I smiled and smiled at the angel.

"We will do this regularly. You have done your job.
"--Thank you!

　The angels will be the first since the arrival of
　He looked extremely relieved and extremely happy.

　　　　　Stars

　Eliza watched from a step back as the angel kept thanking Alec.
　Alec's face, and the angel's face.

　Having seen more and more of man and human greed, Eliza correctly understood the meaning of each face.

Well, that was one more sin. Well, it's a little late for that now.

　Eliza decided to watch with a smile on the face of an angel, an unacknowledged favor.

　And Alec's face .
　After looking at Alec's face, smiling serenely and with satisfaction, Eliza looked up at the sky.

(Building up to the SSS rank is only a result, snob. Alec is a good person, happy to be appreciated, that's all.)

　The corner of Eliza's mouth was slightly twisted, looking up, but her eyes were incredibly cold, looking down on the other person (...)

I hope you're holding on. The longer you hold on, the more the difference between the Creator and Alec's vessel will be revealed.
