Volume 1 Chapter 13: The Lost Angel
It's a beautiful and gentle riverside town.
The neat settlements dotted between green waters and green mountains are really hard to find in this era.
In front of the town's church, a large crowd of children is gathered in front of the beautiful nuns.
That being said, the nuns are actually very petite and don't seem to be much older than the children.
"Kids, it's time to go home. Even if you stay here any longer, the big sister won't be able to play with you anymore?" the nun smiled wryly at these lovely children who did not want to leave. "I have my own business. ”
With great difficulty, the reluctant children were sent away, and the nun sat on the side of the church a little tired, looking at her body.
"I didn't expect it to be so inconvenient to have a physical body...... "The nun sighed and rubbed her waist.
But fortunately, because I am very flat, my shoulders are very relaxed...... Hmm, did you just think of something wrong?
She thought a little dazed.
The setting sun set on her side, reflecting her as if she was also melting into the sunset.
Mr. Zero saw her silver eyes reflect bright red, her long white and golden hair fluttering and turning into red butterflies, and he also imagined that the white wings of light behind her opened to cover the sky and the sun, and there were silver sparks entwined in them.
As the angle of the sunset changes to the angle, this beauty quickly disappears.
“...... Long time no see, Anotte, you seem to be used to life here. Mr. Zero approached a little and asked the nun, who had reverted back to being ordinary and delicate.
"Huh, Mr. Zero...... How did you get here. She came back to her senses and said a little embarrassed: "Yes, it's very quiet here, and the result is ...... I'm a little lazy to get my memories back. ”
"Maybe that's a good thing. Mr. Zero smiled slightly, and then said, "Annot, have you heard of the recent plague?"
"Eh, I've heard about the plague. But it's good that it's not contaminated here......" she thought for a moment, then continued, "But people here don't seem to care much about the outside world, so I haven't heard much about it. ”
"Mr. Zero, is the situation with the plague in other places alright?" Annott looked worried.
"If you get it, you'll basically die. At least for now. Mr. Zero said in a relaxed tone.
"Oh...... Isn't that very, very serious?"
"Ah, by the way, when the patient dies, there is a high chance of infecting all those present...... I don't know how to do it though. ”
"......" Annott looked at Mr. Zero in disbelief. Can such a thing really be said in such an indifferent or even relaxed tone?
"Ahh After all, it was a disaster brought about by the gods, and this level was really easy compared to other situations. As if she had guessed what she was saying, Annott said with a little relief on Mr. Zero's face.
"But of course, you can't relax in the slightest......" Mr. Zero said to Annott, "that's why I came to find you." As an angel, you are far more sensitive to changes on some levels than I am. ”
Yes, this petite nun is actually an angel in her body. But not the angels of their Lord as claimed in the books of the Holy See.
In an unknown year and month, an unknown angel fell from the sky to the earth, and finally experienced something, and was obtained by Mr. Zero, and then carefully placed in this peaceful and remote place. The name of the angel seems to be an ancient word of other origin, and the well-informed Mr. Zero does not understand it, and in the end he only reluctantly calls it "Annot" according to the pronunciation.
"Huh...... But, I can't remember what I could do as an angel......" Annott looked confused again.
The moment this angel fell into the sky, the memory disappeared. Not to mention the use of transcendent divine abilities, even transforming back into the body of an angel is difficult.
She seemed to have a few fragments of her memories left, but they didn't seem to matter and didn't help in the slightest.
“...... I know so, too. Originally, the power of life blood might be able to help you inspire something, but now ......" Mr. Zero seemed to be a little unspeakable, but his voice did not carry the slightest emotion in Annott's voice: "I can only say, please try to awaken your own ability." ”
"But I can't work hard at all...... "Annott looked at Mr. Zero with a bitter face, who seemed to be expecting something.
"What you don't have, you can't ask for it, but what you have will never be easily abandoned. Mr. Zero said meaningfully, and then planned to leave, "I'm here just to talk." Tell me when you can regain that power...... Well, use this. ”
Mr. Zero took out a small conch with clear glass from his suitcase and handed it to Annott. "Inspire it and connect with me...... It's an anomaly, but it's a pretty useful means of contact. It doesn't look pretty, but it matches you. ”
Annott resignedly took the conch and carefully collected it. "Why does Mr. Zero think I can ......?"
"Because that's what you could have been. ”
......
"Why don't you go into the church and sit down, and I've lived here for a while, and I've made it beautiful?" Annott invited after a long time of struggle.
"No, no, no. Mr. Zero left here and went in the other direction.
"I've seen it many times, but you may not remember. It is indeed neat and lovely arrangement. ”
But this last whisper drifted in the wind, and would not reach Miss Angel's ears.
