The Angel was dead.
It chose self-destruction, and its spiritual form opted for self-annihilation.
[KYYYAAAAAAHHH!!]
Its final death scream spread wide enough to engulf the entire Old School Building.
Whether human or Angel, in the end, they all scream the same as they die.
Naturally, that scream would be heard in Heaven too.
Even if a pseudo-Angelic barrier blocked outsiders from entering, it couldn’t stop the scream of an Angel that passed through it.
Let alone a scream from an Angel exploding of its own will?
‘They’ll notice.’
It was inevitable.
Others would hear the Angel’s voice, and especially women with strong faith or potential for Angelic possession would hear it loud and clear.
But it was fine.
Because of what the Angel’s final scream — its “will” — contained.
[I’M NOT GAYYYYYY!!]
That was its will.
The Angel died leaving behind those words.
Even if it was only an illusion, just the sensation of feeling something unthinkable led the Angel to choose detonation and explode.
That’s why, if there were any other Angels who heard its death cry, they’d probably just chuckle and move on.
If an Angel saw the will left by the one who just exploded, most would probably react like this.
– Gay.
– GYGY.
– At least it was a gay who knew honor. Chose suicide over corruption by females.
Just mockery.
Angels aren’t particularly tightly connected to one another.
They’re creatures constantly scheming how to possess a more beautiful girl’s body and enjoy an innocent yuri harem life, or how to spread a garden of yuri and exterminate all the males.
That’s why, in this world, the Church of the Goddess commands their male priests to live in chastity.
They also instruct them not to hold lustful thoughts toward women.
And those who live this chaste life are often considered “alpha males” by society — flaunting their masculinity to beautiful women to the point they’re practically “bombers.”
Angels, not wanting such people to touch the cute girls they covet for themselves, bestow them with holy power, emphasizing chastity and strict codes of conduct.
So then, what does “corruption” mean to them?
– That Angel was probably sneaking around behind those chaste priests, huh lol
– Ah, what a shame. If only it had abandoned the yuri path and gotten possessed by a woman’s body — we could’ve seen it fall for an alpha male and go “irette irette”~
From the Angels’ perspective, corruption means being romantically or sexually attracted to males.
All Angels are TS girls.
For a TS girl to become a yuri bombing angel targeting cute girls is something to take pride in — the highest of accolades among Angels.
But being pinned down and m*aning under a man? That’s no different from ANGANG m*aning.
– If a man’s soul possesses a woman’s body, and then gets turned on by that woman’s body and has s*x with a man — isn’t that just ultra gay?
That’s the ideology Angels live by.
– Even if we generously allow that living a no-romance life among mortals is just a game, how can it not be corruption when a male soul ends up under some blonde, blue-eyed Western fantasy dude, turning into a female?
That’s the truth of this world.
So, no need to worry.
[I’M F*CKING NOT GAYYYYYYY!!]
The Angel that possessed Lieze von Stein proved it wasn’t corrupted — through self-destruction.
– Ah. My bad lol
– Ahead lies… someone not gay.
– A gay (not) who knew honor.
Those who come across that final will don’t react much.
They just think of it as one of the many weird posts in a forum — just one that stood out slightly.
Just a user who cracked their own head open before becoming gay and vanished.
That’s about all the sentiment left behind.
However — if…
‘If it had been corrupted, it would’ve caused a massive uproar.’
If the Angel who possessed Lieze von Stein’s body had gone weak at the knees before the massive, heavy sacred lance of a KBL alpha…
If the body—one with yuri tendencies suitable for angelic possession—was overtaken, and the Angel turned into a submissive female who stuck out her tongue in front of that KBL alpha…
If the possessed girl and the Angel inside her both had their yuri inclinations shattered, made their hearts flutter with something not even part of their soul, and ended up offering themselves and getting pinned beneath that enormous holy cannon…
– LMAO, a real gay showed up!!
– I honestly didn’t think they were actually that way. What a disappointment.
– Could you not breathe the same air as us? If your “female energy” rubs off on us, that’d be a real problem.
When it comes to those who’ve truly “gone female-mode,” even the Angels take it seriously.
To them, “going female-mode” is no different than suddenly dropping a hardcore R-18 slave corruption drift in the middle of a no-romance yuri TS series, shattering the expectations of loyal readers.
That’s what Angels are.

A short while later.
After laying Lieze von Stein down in the Old School Building’s break room to monitor her condition, I received a summons from Instructor Kadisha.
“Honestly, I’m just glad we caught on gradually. If it had hit me all at once, I think I would’ve actually offed myself.”
Instructor Kadisha handed me a report she had compiled.
A handwritten document that contained the truth about Angels, described precisely in Kadisha’s own terms and perspective.
“So the reason Angels are trying to kill all males… was that? It’s absolutely revolting.”
“Just revolting? That might be putting it lightly.”
“…How do you plan to handle something like this?”
Kadisha shook the report slightly in her hand.
“Even if I were to report this to the academic circles, most of the world wouldn’t believe it.”
“That’s true. They wouldn’t.”
“So then…?”
“There is a way. The most effective way to change humanity’s perception.”
“And that is?”
“A full-scale descent of the Angels from Heaven, where they start slaughtering every male and non-virgin, sparing only the pure maidens—and then we unite humanity to fight back.”
“That’s… certainly one method.”
Kadisha nodded, seriously.
It wasn’t the wrong approach.
Just like people don’t realize how dangerous a nuclear missile is until it actually explodes somewhere, if the Angels made it clear through their actions that they were not saviors sent by the Goddess, but agents of humanity’s destruction, then people would finally understand.
“The problem is, if we let that happen…”
“A lot of people would die.”
“…And I don’t think you’d want that.”
“No. Which is why… I’m thinking of a safer, more certain method.”
“And that is?”
“Well, that would have to remain a secret~”
I pointed toward the non-attribute sealing case that briefly caught Kadisha’s eye—
Inside it was not the exploded Angel from earlier, but the first sealed Angel, the one trapped inside… a pair of panties.
“Wouldn’t want them overhearing and leaking the plan, would we?”
“…Hey.”
“Yes, Instructor Kadisha?”
“Can we, uh, test that one too?”
“Test it?”
“Yeah. If it touches a male and instantly blows up its own halo, then what about that one in there…?”
“Hmm. That one might be a bit of an exception.”
The Angel who destroyed their own halo and self-destructed had just recently descended to the Middle World, which explained their dramatic exit.
“But if that Angel starts to believe they’ll be forever trapped in those panties… that they’re doomed to be nothing but ‘panty spirit’ until their owner appears, like 300 years from now…”
“You’re saying they might possess a man just to escape being underwear?”
“Exactly. If it feels like the panties become them and they become the panties—desperation can push people to do anything.”
Just like some men in certain American prisons who, driven by desperation and survival instincts, end up submitting in ways they never imagined—
Desperation makes people do things.
“Same goes for Angels. In that sense, maybe they’re not so different from humans after all.”
“…The more I hear, the more curious I get.”
Kadisha stepped closer and grabbed my wrist.
“So, how exactly do you plan to protect people from the Angels—while also stopping their plan to wipe out everyone except the prettiest virgins?”
“If I tell you the plan, there’s no going back. You’ll be stepping into something irreversible—unsealing the secrets of the world, opening the gate to forbidden knowledge, and staring into the abyss. Especially for someone…”
For someone pursuing the path of academia, this could be a serious turning point.
“It’s no different from making a deal with the Demon King.”
“…I’m ready.”
It seemed that Instructor Kadisha had truly and deeply lost faith in the Angels.
“Very well then… Follow me. To the Old School Building.”
When I finally reveal the method to Kadisha within that fairy tale-like illusion, what sort of reaction will she have?
“Let me give you the answer first. I think I can put it like this—”
The answer.
“Salvation lies in Kyun Kyun.”
