A wild Angel appeared!
Honestly, the best thing would be for angels to not appear at all, but since angels are like spiritual cockroaches, it’s hard for humans to control when they appear.
All we can do is eliminate them the moment we see them.
“Phoenix! Where’s Instructor Esta?”
“She went straight to the field. She said she’d intervene if necessary.”
“Then, who’s in charge of us…?”
“I’ll be taking the lead~”
Thus, the students of the Old School Building gathered in the emergency meeting room after midnight, on Monday, the second week of March, at 00:00.
“The current female student who has awakened as an Angel is [Yuribel Kavans], a first-year at the academy and a new student.”
Instructor Kadisha used the external monitor in the meeting room to display the [Angel Yuribel], who was being observed via remote magic CCTV.
A pair of wings. Considering that the number of wings is somewhat related to an Angel’s power, it meant that Yuribel was possessed by the lowest grade of Angel.
“A new student became an Angel?”
“Yes. This dispels the theory that only returning students can become angels. Everyone, take a look at her profile.”
Instructor Kadisha handed us Yuribel’s profile.
“Ugh…!”
Evangeline was the first to grimace as soon as she checked the profile.
“She’s from the Di Ercy Empire…”
The Count of Kavans is part of the Di Ercy Empire, Evangeline’s homeland.
“Do you know her, Evangeline?”
“No, I don’t. To be precise… it’s land that was integrated into Di Ercy. I thought it might be that Kavans, and it turns out it is.”
While it would be helpful to directly say who exactly gets possessed by angels, there are still procedures and steps to follow.
“It seems like nationality, age, or whether they’re a returning student or a new student doesn’t matter. Does that mean we should consider all female Academy students as potential Angel hosts?”
“That might be the case. No, perhaps even female staff could be potential hosts?”
At Instructor Kadisha’s words, Yunia swallowed nervously.
Having already received hints from me about the ‘Apocalypse’, it was clear that even Esta or Kadisha could become angels.
“What’s wrong, Miss Yunia? Are you worried that I might become an Angel?”
“I-Instructor, you mentioned female staff members…”
“Hmm, I suppose that’s a possibility.”
Kadisha, noticing Yunia’s gaze, joked, but fortunately, Yunia managed to brush it off appropriately.
“At least this is better than Angelica’s case. We can analyze it more calmly this time. Whew.”
“Isn’t that girl … in danger, Instructor?”
Evangeline pointed at another female student on the screen.
“That student over there….”
[Ahhhh! Someone, save me!!]
“She’s being chased by the Angel.”
As I was going through Yuribel’s profile, I looked up at the screen out of concern.
“That’s Hanelis Lavencia, the daughter of Baron Lavencia. She’s a second-year student. Her magical talents are average, but she works hard in magical engineering.”
“Isn’t she the one aiming to become a graduate student? Is it alright to let her be chased like that?”
“Evangeline, for a graduate student, it’s all about sacrificing themselves to gather research data.”
Instructor Kadisha smirked wickedly and shrugged her shoulders.
“And just look at the way the Angel is ‘hunting’ her. Where else would we get such a safe opportunity to collect samples?”
Kadisha switched the monitor to another scene. In it, Instructor Esta and a squad of security guards in combat suits were following the Angel from about 200 meters away.
“Hanelis might struggle a bit, but with this, we’ll learn more about what angels are after. Why Yuribel was possessed, and why, unlike Angelica’s case, Yuribel is only chasing Hanelis.”
The answer.
The Angel Yuribel had been possessed by a lily Angel.
I swallowed the correct answer, which I had figured out from the social connections listed in the profile.
It’s better to reveal the Angel’s desires through a ‘dream’ later rather than me explaining it outright without enough evidence.
But even if it’s not through a dream, some sharp observers might figure it out from Yuribel’s behavior.
[Screeee!!]
Like an eagle swooping down on its prey, Angel Yuribel pounced on Hanelis. To put it more bluntly, Yuribel attacked Hanelis from behind, much like a lioness ambushing an antelope.
[S-Save me!]
“She’s in danger…!”
“No, she’s fine.”
Yunia was on the verge of rushing out to help Hanelis, but Instructor Esta and the staff were slowly closing the distance to the Angel.
They were ready to intervene at any moment.
Even if the Angel tried to pierce Hanelis with some tentacle-like thing, Instructor Esta’s sword would reach her before the tentacle could pierce her skin.
And then.
“The mana pattern hasn’t changed yet. The pattern will shift as soon as it attacks, so it’s still fine.”
Since Angel Yuribel wasn’t shifting her magic wave patterns like Angelica had during an attack, it was a situation where we could safely observe and gather data for now.
“Is it really okay to just leave her like that?”
Ludmila pointed at the screen with a flushed face.
“Her legs…!”
Lick, Lick.
[Ahhh!!]
Angel Yuribel had grabbed Hanelis’s legs, who had fallen flat on the ground, and began licking them.
“…What on earth is an Angel?”
The way the Angel licked the black stockings in its entirety was downright p*rverted.
A stark contrast to the bizarre behavior of the Angel from the Angelica incident.
“Eww…”
“How could they…”
“Disgusting.”
The three female students from the Vermilion Bird class shook their heads in revulsion.
It would have been creepy enough if a man had done it, but the fact that it was a woman—a supposed Angel, no less—made it even more disturbing.
Especially considering…
‘If a TS Angel possessing a woman’s body is doing something like this, it’s even more repulsive.’
If the Angel Yuribel, who was licking Hanelis’s leg with its tongue, was actually a male soul using Yuribel’s body to fulfill such desires, the disgust would be inevitable.
“…Miss Hanelis, just hold on a bit longer.”
Instructor Kadisha clasped her hands together in a silent prayer.
[Aaaah! No, get away! Noooo!!]
“Each time Miss Hanelis’s legs are sucked on, more data on the Angel’s mana patterns is being gathered…!”
Kadisha likely had two conflicting emotions battling within her.
On one hand, guilt as an instructor for leaving a student in danger.
On the other hand, the sense of duty to save future people from many more angels, thanks to the data on ‘Angel mana patterns’ being accumulated from this crisis.
“Instructor Kadisha, there’s no need for you to feel guilty.”
“Huh…?”
Kadisha stared at me, her mouth agape.
“The Angel is at fault, not you.”
“The Angel is… at fault?”
“If the Angel had come running with a knife to attack Senior Hanelis, you would have immediately unleashed a magic barrage, wouldn’t you?”
“T-That’s…”
“That strange behavior of the Angel, which is threatening yet not fully aggressive, is what’s wrong.”
“An Angel who acts strangely, but not threateningly, is bad.”
If Yuribel had just attacked like Angelica had, the Angel would have been subdued by now instead of sucking on Hanelis’s stockings.
“The Angel doing something like that is the real problem. If we want to provoke the Angel into doing something ‘aggressive’, there is a way.”
“What’s that?” “Someone needs to take Hanelis away.”
At my words, the female students of the Vermilion Bird class looked shocked.
“And the best candidate for that is…”
“Phoenix! Are you-”
“Evangeline would be perfect.”
“What?”
Evangeline, the subject of my gaze, tilted her head in confusion.
“Me?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Well.”
I tapped on the profile in front of me.
“Both of you are from the Di Ercy Empire, and you’ve known each other for a long time.”
“…”
“To protect your fellow imperial citizen, shouldn’t the princess take the lead? Besides, I think it would be more effective if you stepped in rather than me, a guy.”
“Effective…?”
“Evangeline. Among the items you ordered with the Golden Carriage, there’s ‘that’, right?”
I tapped my chest, and Evangeline’s face instantly turned bright red.
“Can you control that puppet magic as I direct it?”
“Uh, well…” ”
Is remote control possible?”
“…With your help, maybe.”
“Good. In that case.”
I sat down and patted my thigh.
“I’ll help with the mana manipulation, so come sit on my lap.”
“…”
Slowly, Evangeline approached, and for some reason, Yunia and Ludmila narrowed their eyes with a hint of jealousy.
‘As expected.’
The Changyeom’s method wasn’t wrong.
“S-Should we start?”
“Yeah. Let’s do it.”
I pulled Evangeline close and began to channel my mana into her, guiding the flow of magic through her body.
“Let’s proceed with the operation to save—no, retrieve Hanelis.”
All to provoke a new reaction from the Angel.
* * *
“Instructor Esta, are we really okay to keep waiting like this?”
“…For now.”
Esta tapped her magic pad.
Kadisha seemed to be busy gathering data, but at the same time, it looked like the students of the Vermilion Bird class were up to something.
To be precise, Phoenix was.
“When the situation shifts and the Angel goes wild, we’ll intervene immediately.”
“And when will that be…?”
“I’ll tell you when the time is right. …Not yet.”
Just as one of the staff members was about to rush forward, Esta held them back.
Creak, Creak.
A life-sized werewolf-like puppet emerged from the forest.
“H-Huh…!”
“Slurp, Slurp, Ferorororo.”
Hanelis, despite feeling despair at the sight of the werewolf puppet, thought that anything would be better than the Angel’s tongue, which was now slowly moving up past her calf.
Being eaten by a monster seemed preferable to… well, whatever this was from her junior student.
Boom!
“Huh?”
The werewolf puppet punched the Angel, sending it flying.
The crest on the puppet’s side was unmistakably that of the Di Ercy Empire.
[Are you alright?]
“Y-Your Highness…!!”
[Do you want to save Yuribel?]
Hanelis hesitated at the sound of Princess Evangeline’s voice coming from the puppet.
Her calves were wet, and she desperately wanted to rip off her stockings right there.
“…Yes!”
Despite everything, she wanted to save Yuribel.
[Why?]
“…Because she’s been my childhood friend since we were little!”
[Understood.]
The werewolf puppet nodded.
[As the princess of the empire, I’ll set an examp- Ah…! Not there…!]
“?”
[Huff… Huff…! Something just went wrong with the connection for a moment. Lady Hanelis? Please don’t think anything strange about where I’ll be grabbing you next. It’s all to drive out the ‘evil spirit’ inside Lady Yuribel.]
An Angel and an evil spirit.
Though Hanelis tilted her head in confusion at the mention of their connection, she nodded—
Squeeze.
“!?!?!?!?”
Princess Evangeline’s werewolf puppet had just tightly grabbed both Hanelis’s mana pockets and thighs.
“W-What is this—”
“What are you doing to my woman!!”
Angel Yuribel spread her wings wide and screamed.
“Step away from my woman!!”
“…Intervention begins!!”
The Angel started rampaging.
* * *
“As I thought.”
Even though it was an Angel—
Or perhaps because it was an Angel—
“Watching someone get NTR’d right in front of them is unbearable.”
Because it was a lily Angel, the idea of being taken away by another “woman” was something it simply could not tolerate.
If I had stepped in and grabbed Hanelis myself, the Angel might have thought, “She’s been tainted by a man.”, and just given up.
“Especially since it was the princess of her own country.”
But because Evangeline had harassed Hanelis indirectly through the puppet—
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!]
“Alright.”
Now, it begins.
“Let’s capture the Angel. This time, ‘alive’.”
