Pekora, the Expressive Angel; Glass Cannon Angel Halo

People's joys and sorrows are not the same.

While Wu Tong was busy analyzing the Undying Body and gaining power, Hestia was happy to have a new familiar, Miko and the others were busy familiarizing themselves with the abilities.

Gabriel and Gabriel's Sister were also busy on the other side.

However, due to a riddle-solving task from a certain God the riddle-maker, the two Angel were completely bewildered.

Because they had absolutely no clue about the mission and were unable to do anything about it, they could only wander the streets aimlessly.

After searching for a long time without any results, Gabriel, who was already getting impatient, finally couldn't help but complain:

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"That wretched old man! He can't even speak clearly! How long are we going to search like this?!"

"I don't want to keep searching like this!"

"Weren't you told that once we got here, we'd know what was going on? But I've been here for ages and I still haven't found the answer!"

"Little Gabriel, be quiet!"

"The Lord must have his reasons for doing this."

Gabriel's Sister, who was deep in thought beside her, frowned immediately upon hearing the commotion and snapped:

"Furthermore, you must call Him Lord! Do not be disrespectful!"

"...cut!"

Gabriel, who was originally full of complaints, was scolded by her older sister.

In the end, he could only swallow his anger and keep the complaints that were about to spill out of his mouth, hugging his arms and sulking alone.

"Well..."

Seeing Gabriel's expression, Gabriel's Sister sighed helplessly.

Little Gabriel is getting lazier and lazier, just like a child.

"Hello, everyone."

Just then, an excited voice suddenly rang out behind the two of them.

Gabriel and Gabriel's Sister turned around and saw a "girl" wearing a black and white dress and shorts, with a dark complexion, lifeless eyes, and a black headband, looking at them excitedly.

Angel!!!

Upon seeing the girl for the first time, Gabriel's Sister and Gabriel immediately recognized her identity.

Although it is unclear why the girl's body has lost its energy, her identity is beyond doubt; she is a genuine Angel.

'Great! I never expected to encounter Angel from this world. It seems the mission assigned by the Lord is finally starting to take shape!'

Upon seeing the girl for the first time, Gabriel's Sister immediately became excited.

Finding the Angel of this world is equivalent to finding the Heavenly Realm of this world.

Finding the Heavenly Realm of this world is equivalent to finding the master of this world.

Finding the master of this world is equivalent to being able to complete the master's task.

Upon thinking of this, the frustration of being clueless and wandering around aimlessly vanished from Gabriel's Sister's mind.

Instead, it evokes a feeling of joy, relief, and liberation.

Angel is definitely Angel.

But... why does this guy look so familiar?

Gabriel, watching Pekola's figure, narrowed her eyes and quickly began to think.

She always felt as if she had seen this Angel somewhere before.

"Hello, are you Angel too? Are you here to take me back to the Heavenly Realm?"

Looking at the two girls in front of him, whom he didn't recognize, yet who exuded Angel aura.

Pekola was so excited she almost cried.

Did the Heavenly Realm finally realize she was missing and send Angel down to find her?

Sure enough, she knew that the Lord and the Heavenly Realm would not abandon her.

"???"

Hearing Pekola's inexplicable words, the question that Gabriel's Sister wanted to ask got stuck in her throat.

After a moment, Gabriel's Sister gathered her thoughts before continuing:

"Hello, we are indeed Angel, but we are Angel from another world, not Angel from your world. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Another Otherworld? Are there Angel in Otherworld too?"

Pekola was somewhat surprised, and also somewhat disappointed.

If the two Angel in front of me are indeed Angel Otherworld, then they probably wouldn't be able to help me return to the Heavenly Realm.

"Of course, we came into this world on the mission of the Lord of our world to entrust something to the Lord of this world."

Gabriel's Sister first answered Pekola's question, then began to explain:

"But we don't know the coordinates of the Heavenly Realm in this world, so we can't reach Heavenly Realm. Just when we were at our wits' end, you appeared..."

At this point, Gabriel's Sister paused slightly, then shook her head and continued:

"We were going to ask you about it, but from what you just said, it seems you can't return to the Heavenly Realm either. Have you encountered some difficulties?"

As expected... it seems we can't go back after all.

After receiving a definitive answer from Gabriel's Sister, Pekola's anxiety finally subsided.

However, because she had expected it, Pekola wasn't too sad.

After thinking it through, Pekola calmed down and introduced herself to the two of them:

"Hello, my name is Pekola, one of the Angel of the Heavenly Realm."

"Because I went down to the mortal realm to exorcise demons some time ago, my Angel Halo was shattered by a demon, causing me to lose my energy source and become an ordinary person. Now I can only stay and live in the mortal world..."

Pekola!

Oh, I remember now.

Isn't this the Angel with exaggerated facial expressions from "Dropkick on My Devil!"?

Upon hearing Pekola's self-introduction, Gabriel immediately picked up on a few key words and recognized Pekola's identity.

After learning Pekola's identity, Gabriel understood why this Angel had no energy left.

The source of all the power of the Angel in this world lies in the Angel Halo above their heads.

If a halo shatters, then no matter how powerful one was as Angel, one will eventually lose power and become a weak, ordinary person.

It's worth mentioning that the Angel Halo of the Angel in this world are like pure glass cannons—high in attack but low in quality, and they shatter at the slightest touch.

What's even more ridiculous is that this glass cannon, which is so important to Angel, is actually exposed right above their heads.

The power core is incredibly fragile and exposed, and the demon that Pekola is about to defeat is a Jashin with special attack characteristics against Angel.

Therefore, under the effect of these three debuffs, Pekola's Angel Halo was promptly and decisively destroyed.

And so, the Angel Pekola, having lost her source of power— the Angel Halo —was left to remain on Earth, and gradually, she became what they see today.

As the most outstanding graduate of the Heavenly Realm, Gabriel was naturally among the Angel in terms of Wisdom and intellect.

So, after learning that the Angel before him was Pekola, he pondered for a moment and understood the reasons behind it all:

'Interesting. The Angel from the world of * Jashin * have actually appeared in the world of * The Mieruko-chan *. The two worlds have Fusion so harmoniously... It seems this world must be a Fusion world.'

'I wonder how many worlds have merged together. But I imagine there aren't many, considering the difficulty of Fusion worlds... tsk tsk...'

'Sigh... I never imagined the newcomer's world would be a Fusion world. No wonder the old man said this world had his clone.'

After figuring it out, Gabriel immediately understood who the "Lord" God wanted them to find was.

Livilu, the true god, the lord of the Heavenly Realm, the "God" of this world, will also be Gabriel and Gabriel's Sister's target in this mission, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

"Gurgle~"

Just then, a sound that clearly came from her stomach broke Gabriel's thoughts.

Looking up, Gabriel saw Pekola looking at the two of them with an embarrassed expression.

"Well, actually I was planning to go eat, but I didn't expect to run into you guys..."

Gabriel sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead as she looked at Pekola's stubborn expression.

Having seen The Jashin, how could she not know about Pekola's impoverished life?

That embarrassed yet stubborn look clearly shows he has no money for food!

"... Never mind, we haven't eaten yet, let's eat first and chat while we eat."

After saying that, Gabriel led Gabriel's Sister to the restaurant next door.

Gabriel's Sister had no objection to this, even though they had already eaten.

But Pekola, so it would be too inhumane of her not to let her eat.

So Gabriel's Sister silently followed Gabriel's lead and walked toward the restaurant next door.

But halfway there, Gabriel suddenly realized that Pekola hadn't followed.

Looking back, Pekola was standing there awkwardly, her face clearly saying "I have no money."

Gabriel: "..."

Gabriel said weakly, "Let's go, it's on me."

"Really? Isn't this too expensive? We've only just met, haven't we? I..."

Upon hearing this, Pekola immediately showed a look of interest.

However, upon further reflection, Pekola realized that they had only just met and she was about to freeload off them, which made her feel a little guilty.

"Why are you making such a fuss?"

Upon hearing this, Gabriel couldn't hold back any longer. "You have no money, so I'm treating you to a meal, and you're still not happy?"

If it weren't for the fact that I haven't squeezed every last drop of value out of you, I wouldn't bother with you at all!

Gabriel walked up to Pekola, grabbed her, and, ignoring her struggles, pulled her towards the restaurant.

"I said I'd treat, so I will. Although I've almost spent all my living expenses this month, I still have enough money for a meal."

After Pekola lost her powers, she was no match for Gabriel in the first place.

Not to mention that Gabriel was still looking furious, which made Pekola shrink back and dare not say another word.

Enter the restaurant.

We found a quiet, empty private room and ordered some dishes that everyone liked from the menu.

The three of them continued their conversation while waiting for the food to be served.

"Pekola, you just said that your Angel Halo shattered, and therefore you can no longer return to the Heavenly Realm, is that right?"

After listening to Pekola's explanation, Gabriel's Sister gained some understanding of the Angel in this world.

She still found it somewhat difficult to understand the concept that the Angel Halo is the source of the Angel's power.

After all, in his mind, the Angel Halo was just an accessory, something to show off.

How did it suddenly become the source of power for Angel?

However, considering that this world is not their world, Gabriel's Sister thought the setting was ridiculous, but ultimately did not express her opinion.

Pekola nodded and explained:

"In our world, the source of Angel's power is our Angel Halo. Once the Angel Halo is shattered, no matter how powerful they were before, they will lose their power."

"If it shattered in the Heavenly Realm, that would be fine, since we can apply for a replacement at any time. But if it shattered in another world, then we can only wait for the Heavenly Realm to recall us..."

"..." × 2.

Although I was already aware of this ridiculous premise, hearing it again still left me speechless.

"It really is..."

Gabriel complained helplessly:

"Speaking of which, haven't the Angel of your world ever thought about improving this situation?"

"For example, each Angel could carry several spare halos to reinforce their Angel Halo and change their source of power? That way, you could change your current situation!"

"No... no!"

Upon hearing Gabriel's words, Pekola immediately showed a nervous expression:

"This is the arrangement that the Lord made when He created the Angel. How can we, as Angel, disobey the Lord's choice?"

Upon hearing this, Gabriel's Sister immediately nodded in agreement.

Gabriel, however, secretly curled her lip.

However, she also knew God's position in the hearts of the Angel, so when Pekola brought up the topic of God, she simply changed the subject.

"By the way, since it's a matter of the Angel Halo, I wonder if my Angel Halo will work?"

Suddenly, Gabriel had a flash of inspiration, and an idea immediately came to mind.

Upon hearing this, Pekola's face immediately lit up with excitement, but it quickly turned into worry:

"This... it shouldn't be possible, right? Although I wish it were possible, the Angel in your world and the Angel in our world are ultimately different!"

"In that case, how could Angel Halo be interconnected?"

However, Gabriel didn't care about any of that. Without factual verification, all speculation was baseless.

Furthermore, what makes you assume that my Angel Halo is different from yours?

So Gabriel shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I don't know either, but let's give it a try. It won't take long anyway."
