Chapter 69 - Michael

After that day Tatsuya went around the city with both Asia and Gabriel earning him jealous looks from both males and females around the city. Gabriel was also happy with Asia joining as well since she was innocent and a believer of God of Bible as well and she was also glad because Asia knew about the area well and was guide for both her and Tatsuya.

Same was the case with Asia as she was able to interact with both Tatsuya and Gabriel as friends and was enjoying her time to the fullest. Though she was still unknown about Gabriel's identity as a Seraph but Tatsuya could bet that if she knew she was a seraph her whole trip would be ruined and to make sure that they were not disturbed by anyone he silently cast a undetectable barrier around which them which hid their presences so that other people from heaven or church could not trouble them.

And right now Tatsuya and others were sitting in a cafe having a meal. Today is the last day that they all would be meeting as Tatsuya would be returning back to Japan the next day. Tatsuya also kept tabs on Diodora who seem to have called some of the devils here from underworld and was currently in the chase from church officials. He did not know what he was planning but he was sure that he was about to initiate his plan on making Asia get excommunicated from the church.

Tatsuya decided to not act quickly and wait for him to make the first move, afterall he did not want to deal with him even before he did anything wrong, because of he did that the whole devil faction would cause trouble for him as Diodora is still the heir of one of the families of 72 pillars and is also the brother of the maou Ajuka. Dealing with him now will only lead him to more and more troubles however you look at it.

Tatsuya then looked at the girls sitting next to him and talking to eachother while eating their food happily. Tatsuya looked at their interaction and smiled.

Suddenly he felt another great holy energy coming towards him and it seemed like Gabriel noticed it as well. Tatsuya immediately dispelled the barrier so as to not cause any suspicion and just as he did that the door of the cafe opened.

Tatsuya, Asia and Gabriel all looked in the donor's direction and saw a handsome young man with blonde hair wearing a white suite standing there.

The blonde haired man the started looking around and when he looked in Tatsuya's direction he smiled.

Tatsuya who saw his smile looked at Gabriel who was hiding her face behind a menu card. Tatsuya then again looked back at the blonde man and then saw him coming towards them.

Soon the blonde man came near their table and said, "Good day to all of you."

Tatsuya and Asia simply nodded and Tatsuya looked at Gabriel and asked, "Someone you know Gabriel?"

When Gabriel heard him she slowly showed her face and said, "Yes, meet him Tatsuya, Asia, his name is Michael, my brother."

Tatsuya who heard her nodded and then stood up and then moved his hand forward offering him to shake hands and said, "Nice to meet you Michael-san. I am Tatsuya."

Michael smiled at him and then shook his hand and said, "Nice to meet you as well, like my sister just said my name is Michael. I thank you for taking care of my sister."

Tatsuya smiled as well and said, "No no the pleasure is all mine. She is a very good person to have to talk and tour around the city."

.When Michael heard him he became surprised and then looked at Gabriel and asked, "Ho talking and touring around the city, now that's some news to me. Gabriel want to explain yourself."

Gabriel who heard him started to sweat and looked at Tatsuya with an expression which said, 'Why did you say that?' Tatsuya looked at her and then slowly averted his eyes. He has already grasped the situation she was in and was not planning to join her side to help her. It was her own fault for coming here without telling Michael the reason and neglecting her work as a Seraph.

Seeing that Tatsuya had already given up on her she looked at Asia with a pleading expression.

Asia who saw her nodded and then looked at Michael with an innocent smile and said, "Yes Gabriel-san was very fun to talk to, she also kept me company during the whole week while we toured around the city."

When she finished speaking Gabriel slammed her head on the table and seeing them Tatsuya was trying very hard to not laugh at her situation.

Michael's eyebrows were twitching when he heard what Asia said. He looked at Gabriel and said, "So you were enjoying while neglecting and pushing all your work on me huh, now I understand why the pile of files which I was getting was bigger than usual during this week. Looks like I have to give you an appropriate punishment for ditching your work on me once we go back."

When Gabriel heard him tears started to form at the corner of her eyes but suddenly an idea came to her mind and she pointed her finger at Tatsuya and said, "It's not my fault Michael, during the whole week I was meeting with Tatsuya-san, the one who is the creator of the manga that we usually read. You like his work as well right?"

When Michael heard her sister his eyes widened and he looked towards Tatsuya and grabbed his hand and asked, "ARE YOU REALLY SAITAMA-SENSEI!!!"

Tatsuya who was dumbfounded by him unconsciously nodded her head and suddenly Michael started to shake his hands violently and said, "I AM A BIG FAN SENSEI. I HAVE READ ALL YOUR BOOKS THREE TIMES EACH. IT WAS REALLY A MASTERPIECE."

Tatsuya started to get more and more shocked on seeing Michael's reaction. He could not believe that the current ruler of heaven was sitting in front of him. The calm and collected image of Michael that he had from his own world started crumbling.

After that Michael forgot about Gabriel and started to ask questions to Tatsuya making him more and more freaked out. Tatsuya looked at Gabriel who looked back at him with an innocent smile.

Seeing her smile Tatsuya's lips twitched and he thought, 'I will deal with her later.' Even Asia was giving him a helpless look on seeing his condition.

After talking for a while all of them left the cafe and Michael and Gabriel started to leave.

Michael turned towards both Asia and Tatsuya and said, "It was nice meeting both of you and thank you for taking care of me and my sister today."

Tatsuya smiled and said, "It was my pleasure that you spent some of your time with us. It was enjoyable for me as well."

He then looked at Gabriel who was talking with Asia who seemed a bit sad because of today being the last day that she will be seeing her.

Tatsuya then smiled and said, "When the next time we meet make sure to complete your work before hand and not ditch it on your brother."

When they heard him all of them had different reactions. Michael narrowed his eyes and looked at Gabriel and said, "Yes I will make sure that it not happens again."

Gabriel began sweating again and was panicking after hearing her brother.

Asia was chuckling on seeing Gabriel making her feel betrayed.

Gabriel then walked towards Tatsuya and said, "You don't have to remind him." Tatsuya just smiled at her and seeing that she sighed and smiled as well.

Tatsuya then looked at her and said, "It was nice meeting you here in Vatican. Though our meeting was not normal, o still enjoyed touring with you a lot."

Gabriel who heard him suddenly hugged him making all three of them surprised. She then said, "I enjoyed it as well, it was the first time that I was able to have so much fun, and it was because of you I was able to make a friends as well."

She then began to tear up a bit and said, "Will you come back to see me again? I want to meet you and Asia again and enjoy around just like we did during this week."

Tatsuya who heard her smiled as well and hugged her back and said, "I don't know if I will come back here or not but I promise you that we will meet again and at that time we will again again have fun just like we did and if you ever feel too lonely you can alway come to Kuoh, I will be there always, or you can just call me whenever you want to talk."

Gabriel stopped crying and nodded her head while still hugging him. She then stopped hugging him and then stood in front of him smiling. Tatsuya smiled as well and then move his hand forward.

In his hand was a small box covered in gift wrap. Gabriel looked at the box curiously and Tatsuya said, "Here a gift for you."

When she heard that she became happy and immediately took it from him and started opening it. Seeing her like that all three of them started chuckling at her childishness.

Once Gabriel opened the box it contained a beautiful necklace with a pendant having two angelic wing and a yellow gemstone similar to her hair.

She then looked at Tatsuya and said, "Thank a lot Tatsuya, it's very beautiful." Tatsuya smiled and nodded her head but then Gabriel took the necklace in her hand then moved her hand in front of Tatsuya making him confused.

She smiled and said, "Tie it around my neck." Tatsuya took the necklace and tied it.

Gabriel then turned around and showed the others, "How does it look on me." All of them smiled and complimented her.

Gabriel then placed her hand on her chin making a thinking pose and said, "Now what should I give you to make you remember me."

Tatsuya who heard him waved his hand s and said, "There is no need for something like that." but Gabriel ignored him and continued thinking.

After thinking for a while her face brightened up and she hit her palm with her fist and said, "I know, there was a movie I once saw.....hmm hmm yeah that is perfect." and started moving towards Tatsuya.

Tatsuya who saw her coming towards him decided to use his telepathy to hear what she was thinking but before he was able to Tatsuya was kissed by Gabriel.

Seeing what she just did all the people standing there had their eyes widened and some of the passersby were smiling on seeing them.

Gabriel then moved back leaving behind a stupefied Tatsuya and a blushing Asia. Gabriel who saw both of them became confused and looked at Michael and asked, "What happened Michael, why are they like that?"

Michael who heard her grabbed her shoulders and started shaking her and asked, "Why did you just kiss him, Do you know what could have happened?"

Gabriel became even more confused and said, "What is wrong with that, I saw in a movie that the girl kiss the boy on the lips when she saw her friend leaving her for a long time."

Hearing her all three of them thought, 'so innocent'. Michael sighed and thought, 'good thing that she didn't had any l.u.s.t in that kiss, otherwise she would have fallen before she knew it.'

He then saw his sister who was looking confused when Tatsuya was scolding her. Michael smiled and thought, 'Still it looks like my sister finally found someone she like, it looks like I have to increase the pace of working on that dimensional chamber or else the day when she falls is not far away.'
