Volume 5 - CH 74

Act 5-74: Infiltration 2(Side: Ramiel)

After that, even though the freckles youth told Ramiel that his name was Tetle, he didn’t tell her more than that.

A competent angel like him should be quite famous in the Ares Palace and yet, she was completely unfamiliar with his name. She then assumed that Tetle was the trump card of her master. That why her master seems to be convinced that the god of fly was hiding in this region.

「Is there a meaning in observing that human?」

Despite her attempt to ask since a while ago, Tetle simply just ignored her and kept observing the seemingly harmless, blonde-haired human. She knew that there must be a meaning behind his action. And then, she could also felt some sort of strong emotion on Tetle’s face as the latter observed the blonde-haired human from afar. Thus, she knew that for the current Tetle, the blonde-haired human was the most important observation object.

Not to mention that the human who supported the monsters might’ve been related in some way with the god of fly. Since that was the case, she thought that they should just arrest the blonde-haired human, and bring him back immediately to Ares’ Palace for interrogation. And yet, Tetle kept observing the blonde-haired human. Hence her failure to hold back her curiosity to ask that question.

「There’s, at least for me.」

Tetle replied with a lonely look on his face.

「Is that human your acquaintance?」

「… Oh, they’re moving again.」

When Ramiel asked in a small voice, Tetle ignored her and started to follow the blonde hair.

After seeing the blonde enter the arena, Tetle’s gait came to a halt,

「The trial is about to begin huh… Shall we wait a bit more?」

And suddenly muttered those words as he looked up.

「No, thank you for your consideration, Asta-sama.」

After nodding at the empty space before him, Tetle’s face instantly formed a frown, he grits his teeth as if wanting to crush them but,

「You should leave this place immediately!」

He suddenly turned around and said those words to Ramiel.

「Hah? Are you telling me to turn around and run from the likes of monster? Like hell I’m going to do that!」

Don’t mess with me. This is a direct order from Ares-sama. I’ll complete this duty at all cost. You might be wanted to hoard the achievement for yourself but sorry, I won’t do as you say.

「You might regret it you know?」

Though she flinched as Tetle looked at her with cold piercing gaze,

「Is that a threat so that you can move by yourself? I’ll make sure to report this to Ares-sama later. 」

Tetle clicked his tongue and then entered the arena.

The arena was filled with feverish atmosphere. One-eyed giant and an ogre was fighting on the round stone arena in the middle of the building.

Such low-level combat. Even a nameless soldier of Ares army was more than enough to handle them. Guess it proven that the god of fly overpowering Ares-sama is a mere coincidence.

「Such low-level combat. I guess it just Ares-sama overestimation.」

The moment she muttered those words, he line of sight met with the blonde-haired human. Ramiel once again felt extremely ashamed to realize that her blunder had caused her observation target to notice her existence.

And just as expected, the blonde-haired human was about to stand from his seat and walking toward their direction. That moment――

The loud toll of bell disturbed everything,

『ALERT! ALERT! IT’S THE RAID OF THE DEMON KING ARMY IS COMING!』

It then followed by warning voice akin to scream from horn-like tool. Ramiel realized that horn-like tool was a magic tool. Human race aside, it wasn’t something that supposed to be exist in the city of monster.

No, wait a minute, doesn’t they say just now that the demon king army has come to raid this place? Meaning that I’m just got caught in the conflict between the monster and the demon race of this world.

「Until that far huh…」

Tetle muttered so, moving his gaze from the blonde-haired human and carrying Ramiel under his armpit. Once they left the arena, jumped off to the roof of the building only then did he let go off Ramiel. He clutched her shoulders. His clutch awakened Ramiel from her stupor, only to be shaken again upon seeing the grim look on Tetle’s face…

「I have no time to explain the situation. I say this for your own good. Leave this place immediately. You who have nothing to do with this trial should be sa――」

But Tetle didn’t finish his words as his figure had suddenly vanished.

Is that teleport magic? Well, I have no idea about the trial he was talking about but, the assailant should be the demon king army. They’re just humans with a different colours. No matter how powerful they become, they’re nothing more than a slightly noisy fly for me.

（In short, I won’t let you to hoard the glory!）

After seeing that blonde-haired human and this demon king army’s raid, Ramiel could tell that something had been disturbing Tetle’s mind, meaning that it must’ve something to do with the god of fly. She was afraid that she would turn into laughing stock later on if she returned to Ares Palace without finging anything during her investigation. One wrong step might be resulting in her disappointing her master, and demotion.

（It’s okay. It’s just lowly demon race after all, there’s nothing to fear.）

She did consider the possibility of the demon race receiving the power from the god of fly. But, as high-rank angel, Ramiel didn’t feel like she would lost against mere demon race. They were nothing more than bug on the side of the road to be trampled upon after all. That fact wouldn’t change even if the entire demon race army ganging on her.

（If the god of fly is truly residing in this city…）

She would return to the god realm immediately to report this matter to her master so that the heavenly army would move immediately to subjugate the god of fly, that way she could make her master happy.

（The problem is how to escape once I find the god of fly, but…）

In this regard, Ramiel had ring of repatriation on her finger. The ring allowed her to return to Ares Palace with a single thought, and she could use 【Invisible Cloak】 just to be safe. The current Ares Palace had been protected by powerful barrier from heavenly army, that barrier prevent anyone without her master’s permission from entering the palace. Thus, her safety was guaranteed even if she got found out.

Thus, she had nothing to fear and decided to watch over the situation in this city.

（Wait for me, Ares-sama! I’ll definitely bring back good news for you!）

Ramiel stayed in the 1st block that turned into hell on earth as she vowed to her master.
