Episode 133: Lies are also convenient

"By the way, you, where are you from? If you'd listened, I'd have wandered the seaside by myself at midnight."

"Oh, that's..."

To Asta's question, which could poke at the core, Raphael cages his mouth. You can't possibly answer 'The Sanctuary of the Sky' with silly honesty. You don't look good enough to deceive me with lies. Should I follow you here? [M]

"My parents made me run away yesterday. So he wandered off without a chance to go."

"Heh, that was a disaster"

Everyone seemed convinced of my proper lies. I've just been lying scattered, and the lies came out of my mouth without any discomfort. I was a little spooked by myself like that, but it's also convenient to lie.

When Raphael turned to me, he bowed his head slightly as to what gratitude meant.

"Well, it's fine with us until it's almost cold. I don't care if you stay forever."

"... okay?

"Oh. I'm sure Sasha would say that, too. But if you get your hands on my girlfriends, I'll kick them out fast."

"You don't have one of your girlfriends here!

To Serena's relentless scratch, Asta drooled her head.

"... is this boy an example wanderer"

Then an adult version of Sasha came into the room. On his right hand he has a plate with a roasted noodle on it.

"Sasha, I've decided to keep this guy for a while, okay?

"... well, we'll talk about that later"

That being said, Sasha offered the plate to Raphae.

"Are you hungry? Sorry about yesterday's remnants."

"Yes, no, it's okay! You don't have to be concerned."

The goo rings in his belly and Raphae's face stains bright red.

"Apparently the belly bug is honest. Don't hesitate to eat."

"I'll have..."

Raphae receives the dish in embarrassment and carries the roasted noodles to her mouth.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

Shortly afterwards, the pounding and tears began to fall from Raphae's eyes.

"Whoa, what's up? Was it good enough to cry?

"... Yes. I've barely eaten anything here lately..."

"Ha!? Seriously or that!?"

Indeed, if you look closely, Raphae's body was considerably thinner than before.

"Damn, say that quickly. Sasha, what's left of the roasted noodles?

"... sorry, that's the last time"

"Seriously. I can't help it, then I'll make it now!

"You can barely cook for me."

"Of course you've decided to ask Serena and the others to help you. Look, everybody, come on!

"Decide on your own...... It's okay because Atashi was trying to say the same thing."

Seeing this interaction, Raphae gives a puzzling look.

"Yes, that's fine, for me...!!"

"Don't be shy. We haven't had breakfast yet, and I hope you'll think of it later."

Asta and the others left the room and headed towards the kitchen to cook.

"Ut"

Sasha stopped me after I tried to help too.

"Come with me. We need to talk."

Sasha said with a serious face.

Me and Sasha went out on the roof of the villa. It's just dawn at night and my eyes glare at the sun from the horizon.

"So, what are you talking to me about?

"You'll have roughly the idea. About that guy named Raphae."

"... what's wrong with him?

I tried to fall in love with Waza, but I don't mind Sasha continuing.

"That man, he's not human."

……

"I knew the moment I walked into the room. I felt signs of a different dimension from a human from that man. It's pretty powerful, too."

"... Really? I didn't realize."

"It's no use cutting Shira. You can't possibly feel it from me and not from you. You must have noticed that the man wasn't a prick."

…………

"That means I pretended I hadn't noticed notwithstanding... You're hiding something about that guy, aren't you?

"... after all, can't Sasha deceive"

It seems impossible to lie to Sasha any more. I decided to be honest. [M]

"Raphae is one of the Seven Star Angels."

"... what?

Sasha the boulder was also unexpected for this, which gave her a startling look.

"That doesn't sound like a joke..."

"Oh."

"So you invited that man into this villa after you found out he was a seven-star angel?"

"... oh"

"I didn't forget, did I? What have we done to the Seven Star Angels..."

Sasha looks at me with a sharp eye.

Yes, Sasha is deprived of her father's soul by a seven-star angel. What I've done is tantamount to deciding Sasha's heartbreak. I can't help being blamed.

"Of course, I know. But he... Raphae is different. Raphae hasn't taken people's souls or anything. On the contrary, I feel responsible for what my people have done. I want people's souls freed as soon as possible."

"Is there any evidence that that's true? Where's the guarantee that that guy won't get Serena and the others?

"... indeed, there is no such guarantee"

Sasha is right. But...

"But trust me. He would never imitate that. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility."

…………

After a period of silence flowed, Sasha took a small breath.

"If you say so much, let's believe it."

"... I'll be grateful"

In the story that followed, Sasha also promised to keep Raphae for a while.

I know. That I, the king, have no mercy for the seven star angel. [M] But I couldn't abandon him.

When I finished talking to Sasha, I went back to Rafael's room for a moment.

"Come on, get dressed for this quick"

"I can't!! I absolutely can't!!"

There was a look of Raphae being forced to push her clothes from Sue.

"... what are you doing, Sue?

"Raphae's clothes are dirty, so I was hoping you'd put on some new clothes."

"... I do think you should get dressed."

What Sue had in her hand was a pink piece, obviously like a girl would wear. It would be natural for Raphae to reject it.

"It was the clothes I originally brought for Serena, but she definitely didn't wear it. So it's a good opportunity, so I decided to have Raphae wear it."

"How does that happen!!"

Serena doesn't seem to like girly clothes. But why did you come up with the idea of wearing it to a man Raphae there?

At the same time, I actually thought I'd like to see it too... Raphae has a relatively neutral face, and she might look good out of the picture.

"Mr. Yout!! Shut up and stop Sue!!"

Raphael asked me for help in tears. By contrast, I shake my head quietly. Forgive me, Raphae.

"Look, I'm expecting Ute, too. Just give me ten minutes to get dressed."

"I would never wear it!! Naked would still be better if I wore it like this -"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."

"... Yes"

It was Raphae defeated by Sue's intimidation.
