“Chapter 187: Her True Colors 2”
– What? Septe? (Raviola)
Septe looks like a simple girl taking care of someone she admires. Nothing suspicious whatsoever.
But that innocence is exactly what piqued his interest.
– This is not the time for jokes. (Septe)
I took out the five gold coins from our match with Zezekiel.
– Raviola-sama, do you remember how I beat the fallen angel?
– Yes. I knew about your aptitudes. I was sure you would be able to pull something off.
– Right. I don’t have a skill to alter luck or anything like that. If I hadn’t cheated, someone would’ve died. Or that’s what you think. Mumuruu, can you check the coins?
– Sure.
Mumuruu threw all the coins, but even the ones that were about to land on tails turned at the very last second to land on head.
– All of them would’ve been heads!?
– Exactly. We would’ve won anyways. In fact, due to the Sage of Light’s restraints, there was a chance my magic wouldn’t have worked.
– So the fallen angel… (Septe)
– She was planning to lose from the start. In fact, we knew Raviola would choose me as the coin tosser.
– But why did she do that? I’m sure I pierced her heart with my sword. We all saw her turn to dust. (Raviola)
– She’s well and alive. Actually, that wasn’t even the actual Zezekiel.
– What!?
– Mumuruu, is that guy here yet?
– Yeah. He came along with me.
My shadow started twisting again.
– Hey, I thought we were friends. What’s with the “That guy”?
– Well, excuse me for trying to be more private.
– Haha, don’t worry. I was going to introduce myself anyways.
– Wha-!? You… (Raviola)
From my back emerged an angel that was supposed to be dead.
– How long are you planning to stay like that?
– I thought it’d be easier if she saw it in action.
Slowly, the fallen angel Zezekiel transformed into a boy with white hair and bright red pupils.
– Hey, princess~ Is that Seventh Fall? I heard the rumors about it. It’s a good thing I moved my nucleus to my arm before I got hit.
– What… are you?
– My name is Kouya. I’m Takaya’s friend. I’m also the representative of the demon king.
