Mr. Zero stayed in a small town not far from the Great Cathedral.

"We're going to talk to those mechanical maniacs......" he looked back at Annott, "You don't seem to be too good to go...... Do you want to come along, or do you want to move around the town at will?"

"Well, since Mr. Zero said so. So, I'm going to go around first?" Miss Angel looked like a good child...... Well, she was meant to be a good child.

"It's fine. ”

......

It is close to the Great Chapel, which is the source of the plague, and in fact, the epidemic has long been not optimistic.

People are afraid to go out at home for fear of being infected, and they are constantly worried about whether they or their families will be infected, and their spirits are on the verge of collapse.

And this is only a small town, not as valued as the Great Cathedral, and there will be many priests and nuns who patiently enlighten them.

There was almost no life along the way, with only a few children peeking through the cracks in the doors or windows as Annott arrived.

The few people Annott saw who were still on the street seemed to be almost insane, and one was still foaming at her.

So she tried to avoid the people who seemed to have been suffocated, and made her way to the center of town.

The spitting guy chased after Annott all the way.

"Haha, I've been dyed, and I'm going to let you be dyed...... Die...... Die to me...... Let's all die together...... I'm going to die sooner or later anyway......" Annott's ears filled with the middle-aged man's wild laughter, making her run in fear.

Men also ran and chased, but could not catch up.

He would never have known that Annot, as an angel, would never be contaminated by this plague even if he became an ordinary human now. Their essence is not the same.

But before you know it, when you come to the center of town, the ethereal song gradually echoes in the alleyway.

The madman seemed to have calmed down in the midst of the song, stopped, looked around blankly, and finally collapsed on the corner of the street, covering his face and weeping bitterly.

"What the hell am I going to do......" he whimpered, "God...... Please help me......"

"Obviously, I and my family are so religious...... Why, why doesn't God bless us in times of calamity......"

Ignorant people will always pray to the gods when they encounter bad luck, and complain when they don't get the help they want.

But...... What could he blame for this?

After all, in this era, everyone is like this.

In the same way, God spreads doctrine and saves the world.

And Annott followed the song all the way to the square.

The town square, which is supposed to be bustling on weekdays, is empty.

In the town hall opposite, a few officials who were helplessly sticking to their posts were just peeking at this side, not daring to come out calmly.

What Annott saw in their eyes was only a silent silence. He didn't even show a look of despair.

From a distance, she saw a sick girl sitting on the edge of the flower pond, swinging her calves leisurely.

An ethereal song rang out from her mouth.

She sang with great devotion, as if she wanted to pour her life into it.

Although it was close at hand, she was not in the slightest aware of the arrival of another girl.

In the ethereal and clear singing, Annott gradually fell into a trance.

She felt as if she had gone back, back to the pure white sea of flowers.

It was where she had been before she had fallen into the mortal material world.

It was as if she had seen the simple but beautiful cottage surrounded by flowers in the clean, and the beautiful maiden who lived in it.

She walked forward in disorientation, trying to touch the reality of the dream, but the illusion disappeared in an instant.

When she came back to her senses, she found that the maiden had stopped singing and was watching her with interest.

"Little sister, what are you doing here? Those who are still cruising the roads now are almost all infected people who have given up their despair, or madmen who have been driven mad by the inevitable plague...... Or both. ”

She slowly approached Annot's side with a little shaky figure, "Although they are just poor people under the persecution of the plague, they are undoubtedly very dangerous for normal people." Well, I don't know how many so-called 'normal people' are left in this town. ”

"Who's the little sister!" Annott was a little furious, "If you really talk about age, I, I ......" She suddenly froze.

She really didn't know how old she was.

After all, I don't have any memory.

Moreover, do angels really calculate their own age......

She still doesn't know that she has become a mortal.

But maybe she is not an old woman who has lived a long time, but is really young?

In the middle of her thoughts, she reported Mr. Zero's age.

Or rather, as far as she knew, Mr. Zero's age.

“...... Ah, is that so. Then this young lady, please also pay attention to yourself......"

It was only then that Annott realized that after he stopped singing, the other party's voice was so weak that he had to approach him and speak to himself before he could hear it clearly.

"Ah...... Compared to me...... Your body...... Are you alright?" said Annott, looking at her somewhat wobbly body, with some concern.

"Ah, me, thank you for your concern, but I don't have anything to care about anymore. ”

She laughed, as beautiful as a daisy from the moment before it withered.

"I dreamed of being able to sing freely. I've been like this since I was a kid......"

"But my body was born so weak. The doctor said I was born with an unnamed condition. ”

"When I look out the window and see children of the same age playing on the grass, even if they sing loudly, they are only hoarse at most, how envious I am......"

"I can't sing to my heart's content. I can't hear others even when I sing......"

"I like it so much...... I felt that I had this talent, and I felt the song flowing through my body......

But no matter how beautiful the singing voice is, it is just restrained in this tattered body. ”

Although she seemed to be telling her own tragedy, there was not a trace of gloom on the girl's face.

She looked as clear and ethereal as her singing voice.

"This body is really in the way, if only we could embrace death as soon as possible...... I've always thought so. ”

"But...... Right now. Finally...... Look, I can sing aloud too. I hope that my singing voice can bring comfort to everyone during this special time...... Before I die, I will be satisfied if I can do so. ”

The girl smiled like a flower, but Annott felt a little sad inexplicably.

"The doctor said that this is my return to the light, but in fact they don't know, it just so happened that the plague was rampant during this time, and my family had no time to take more care of me, and I made a small deal with an unknown being, and then ran out - but maybe it is indeed a return to the light, the unknown existence told me that even without this transaction, my illness is incurable, and I can't survive"

"I will sing, with my life, with my soul, and without stopping...... Until the moment of death. ”

"Every time I sing, the rest of my life burns violently. When I die, my soul belongs to the other person. She giggled, "It's like what it's like to make a deal with the devil as described in the canon of the Church." ”

No, you don't have to deal with the devil, but you must have made a deal with the anomaly......

What kind of anomaly could it be? Is it related to the concept of "song"?

Annott couldn't help but think. Should I ask Mr. Zero to remove this anomaly from the girl?

It should have been so, but Annott hesitated when she looked at the girl who seemed to have a happy look.

If it is removed, will the girl have to lie in the hospital bed until she dies of weakness......

The girl on the other side was also troubled, and she didn't know why she trusted her so much after seeing the petite nun in front of her for the first time, and threw out all her secrets......

"Ah, I've told you so much, please don't tell me my secret, young lady~" The girl put her slender fingers in front of her lips and made a silent motion.

...... All right. Annott nodded silently.

Rather than prolonging the time of pain, it is better to gain some happy memories.

If you do this yourself, Mr. Zero won't criticize himself, right......

Annott thought a little weakly.

"Can you give me a little help? rest assured, I won't get the plague...... Rather, because I was born with an unnamed disease, I have never had any other disease. And you...... Whether the plague is present or not, I don't care if I am infected......"

She opened her arms and looked at the blue sky, letting out a small laugh, as if she wanted to embrace this beautiful blue sky.

"Anyway, I'll be able to live for a few days. ”

“...... I'm not afraid of being infected. Annott shook her head.

I am an angel, and this is the only thing I remember very clearly.

Even if they have fallen into mortals, they will not fear the plagues of mortals...... Although this seems to be a plague caused by a certain god, Mr. Zero is not worried about being infected at all, so he should not be easily infected.

The girl happily hugged Annott's shoulder, "Even though I have ushered in death...... But there are still some regrets. I want to, I want to have a friend like a normal person...... All of them are good......"

"Little sister, would you like to be my friend......

Looking at the expectant eyes of the sick girl, Annott would never be able to say no words.

I guess I was an angel somehow "once".

According to the religious texts of this world, aren't angels the ones who will accompany the good child who is about to die and accompany her into heaven?

Annott secretly made up her mind that when the girl died, even in her mortal body, she must prevent her soul from being taken away by the unknown anomaly.

She should go to heaven. Annott smiled softly, and let herself, the "former" angel of another god, help her to get to the heaven of the gods of this world.

But I guess I can't do it myself.

Thinking of her powerlessness, Annott's face gradually became bitter.

In the end, I had to ask Mr. Zero for help.

I feel like I'm going to trouble Mr. Zero again, I'm sorry.

After apologizing in her heart, she said:

"Of course. ”

"Where do you want to go?"

"Then let's both go together. ”
