Chapter 4: Chapter 4

"Uggh… I can't move my wings… the injuries that I take on my wings are really harsh on them… are they a big target or something?"

–It's because everyone wants to backstab you, or they just made you hit a building with your back… either situation always targets the back anyway, the latter just damages your body too instead of only the wings.

"... You do live in my wings right, but why are you not feeling pain from them?"

I asked a question that I thought should be a good question.

–... Want me to share our feelings of pain?

{It would make you feel pain… so…}

No, I'm just curious why you aren't feeling pain, I shouldn't force you to feel me being hurt either… and it might hinder your thinking if you felt pain while thinking.

–I guess so… [Now that I think about it… where's the Heartless part in this?]

Anyway… let's get going… I should be able to move slightly while walking…

"Uggh… my left arm is also a bit damaged…"

I muttered while leaving this cave that I am in… tch, it's from the fall right?

–Unfortunately… the answer to the question is yes.

*Sigh* How do I hold my sword in two hands then?

–You can't… and also 5 hours have passed since you woken up.

"Thanks, that meant I lost my wings from being followed."

–[Isn't it "tail from being followed" ?]

It is, but considering the fact that wings are always everyone's target… I have to change the line a little.

–... Did you just read my mind?

Not really, I just felt like you asked a question that I can guess you asked.

–[Well, maybe so.]

"Well, maybe so."

I said at the same time that Angel thought of it.

Hahahaha… look, is there an interesting connection we have? I feel like I can guess what you want to say.

–[... *Sigh*... You being… just awake is an interesting mode.]

Oh, Maybe you're right. Waking up usually makes me able to think faster for a certain period of time, I wonder why?

–[Must be your body entering temporary efficient mode.]

… This one also lasts only 30 seconds huh… a pretty short timer.

–It's good enough. If you are facing someone below you or you have the same rank as them, it's you who has the advantage, but if you are fighting someone who is higher rank you, then you get beaten to death… at least wing mode let's you escape even if your wings are destroyed.

Thanks for your really unknown answer.

–[Sarcasm.]

"... Hey, I just felt like you blatantly thought it was sarcasm… it was, but still."

–[... So that's how intuition works, no matter.]

I looked around in the area that I was in… hmm…

"How do I leave here?"

It's a cliff. And I'm at the bottom of said cliff. I don't have my wings to fly at the moment, I should really have carried some wing restoration potions… eh, it be fine, if there is a cave here… there should be a way to climb back up.

"Let's get going."

…

…

…

4 hours later…

…

…

"*Sigh*... I'm really tired after all of that…"

I said in a complaining tone while I walked towards the unknown-... As I walked towards an angel town… they should have some wing restoration potions.

–I have a question… what's the name of this town?

"Names are irrelevant, cause I'm pretty much just flying and going back… totally not because the Author is bothered to make a name or something."

–Making names are hard, huh?

("Intentional fourth wall break… actually, I just let them open the door into the fourth wall. And then I let them enter their world again.")

"Anyway… I felt like I forgot what happened 3 seconds ago. No matter."

–Not that important anyway.

I entered the town and entered the pharmacy, I paid for 5 wing restoration potions and left the pharmacy like a normal person on a really bad day.

I drank one of my potions and put the other 4 on my side bag… that can keep specifically only 4 potions. I just have this side bag just in case I have to consider my life choices.

–Since we are… well, most likely considered dead in the place we live in, maybe even framed to be the one that destroyed that village… let's just run towards an unknown direction.

Hmm… I should go to the horn people then, or who you called demons… doesn't matter, since we don't have war with them at the moment, it should be fine if I am there.

I immediately flew and left the town.

–Travel time is…

Currently unknown, but I kinda hope it will only take 3 weeks of flying…

"Uggh… my head…"

I fallen from the skies as I have a really terrible headache… Nggn…

"Tch, I thought I have no blessings or curses… but I guess I got unlucky and got a late reading…"

…

–... I'm sure you will be fine… it should take like, 10 minutes for your pain to stop… At most, it will be like under 1 hour?

Not… Ngn… really reassuring… Aggh… you know?

–I know. In the meantime, I'm gonna talk to you so that the pain will be slightly forgotten…

Look, I don't experience mind pains on a daily basis… I don't think you can understand how painful this is…

–Oh I do… it's like… having a really bad headache while some unknown person keeps reading you information while you just want to not feel pain from information overload and a bunch of other stuff I didn't mention… usually happens to people who don't have enough mental strength… or concentration, this world calls it…

Concentration, oh, you're not gonna say I have a slightly lower amount of that than average people right?... Uggh…

–... [... You don't need concentration anyway… maybe you might need it… but that depends on the blessing you will get from this pain you are experiencing…]... Well, I'm sure it will be fine.

Weird… Pause there… Nggn…

8 minutes later…

"... It's subsiding… aggh… that felt like 10 minutes… thanks for talking to me…"

–See? I'm helpful, and if you didn't talk to me at all, well… it would make you focus more on the pain and might make it feel like time is going super slowly… anyway, Fly now, we talk about your blessing later.

Rings appeared in all of my fingers… of course… *sigh*... I need gloves now to hide these rings… I really got some rather mediocre blessing, huh?

"For now…"

I started flapping my wings and quickly go up… before doing my previous task.

"Let's forget the promise I made for my birthday. I can't waste time for curiosity, this is serious…"

{A war between us and humans… Why am I acting like it is fine? It isn't fine, it never was fine. If it is fine, then I won't be acting like this… realization, dawning… foolishness, Nggn… pain it was. I don't care for my people, I don't care… but this feeling of something is wrong… and something is wrong…}

–[something is wrong… what is wrong? It couldn't be me that is wrong at this moment… neither is it the angels…]

The thing that is wrong is…

"Of course, quite simply… how it all happened."

Some fallen angel instigated the war between us and humans, but there was never a reason as to why said war was instigated, it couldn't have been anger, it couldn't be jealousy either, as jealousy towards our race is quite simply useless. We are the weakest race and the only advantage we have is flying, and not everyone here can fly that well… the reason…

"Betrayal might be it."

If the humans destroyed her wings, then she could have not instigated the Angels as the bad one and blame the humans…

–... Bastards…

"... Those bastards…"

Royal knights… one of the royal knights is the reason as to why this all happened… This life where we are on a losing war is because of the royal knights, and since there's only 2 royal knights per city… that means…

–The Capital… in the old times, that's where the leader of the royal knights lived.

"... That bastard… Cain… I will kill you for that… for my blood, as well as for myself… sate my curiosity later… I'm gonna kill you after a period of time..."

–Atleus? I know you're angry, but you don't have to-

I will!... That bastard is the one I have to kill, not only had he made me work more… he forced this body to live as a warrior…

–... I will keep this as a secret to Atleus then. What's your name?

Call me Suel, that's all you need to know. But, make sure to awaken me when Atleus is remotely close to the bastard. All you have to do is call my name… and there's a 10% chance I will wake up if you do that.

–... High enough for the trouble.

…

…

"Aggh… that's painful…"

{Why do I have two souls anyway?}

–Anyway, let's go… make sure to take a rest every now and then. [I have a feeling that he knew what we talked about… no matter, it's not like he will say anything foolish.]

"Now, let's get going. To the sea-... Sorry for the joke. Anyway, let's see… 15 days… I will shorten that to 2 days… now… I do hope my wings can survive this…"

I immediately accelerated…

–Are you insane?

Always am.

And still accelerating…

…

…

"Uggh… my wings… they are burning…"

I slowed down on my speed…

"... It's already night… good night…"

I lowered to the ground and slept on the floor…

–... Insane. How did your wings survive this… [they're still working as usual… although they are a little bit overheating… hmm, weird, but this is a plus, so I shouldn't bother… so that's why you are the fastest Angel in that city… it's cause you can accelerate that much and still be able to fly… although, to be honest, it doesn't have much use in combat… as it be situational to be able to use accelerated speed and hit someone…… who the hell made you? No way you're a natural angel…]

Next day-

"Nggn… yep, my wings are still overheating… they should still be usable… but, I'd rather just…"

I opened up my side bag and drank a wing restoration potion.

–Now… I guess, let's get going?

"Yeah. Flying now."

I said robotically while summoning Angel… and put into one of my rings… the ring I put him on is my thumb in my left hand.

"Well… can you hear me?"

–... I'm not in the wing anymore…

Angel said with a tone of sadness…

"Ah, it's fine. And this is more practical for me anyway, this way… I guess I can use my blessing to summon you instead of me summoning you on my own… saves like 0.12 seconds."

–That's a very specific number. Wonder what's the-... Start accelerating, an enemy, 1000 meters in front of you, they have a bow and is pointing it at you, be wise and avoid it using your speed.

"... Got it, Angel."

I said while immediately starting my acceleration… Nggn, my wings are… slowly heating up… 800 meters left…

–Not enough to damage your wings… anyway, dodge to the left or right, this one is easy to dodge.

While stopping accelerating for a brief second, I rolled to my left before trying to increase my speed again…

("The next events all happened in 0.5 seconds… writing it also took 0.5 seconds… not really, it took me 6 minutes to make sure that the acceleration is actually in the right numbers and the difference in acceleration over time is increasing… which is easy.")

–Great, 600. 524. 381. 153… and… summon me now.

("0.5 seconds has passed.")

"Hit of contact is 0.1 seconds, chance of hitting are 80%. Atleus, at your service."

I quickly muttered while summoning Angel and stabbing them with it…

"Service over."

I put Angel back in the ring and then started to accelerate more.

"It should be… that one is an Angel hunter isn't it? Unfortunately they tried to hunt me and couldn't shoot 3 times in under 1 seconds, quite unlucky for them."

I said while sounding disappointed before focusing on flying.

–... Well, that's their problem. Anyway, While you focus… I shouldn't try to bother you much… [Acceleration is now slowly increasing… so the initial speed is 30% the reason of the fast speed… but even if it is, every 1 second, it still incrases by 1 meter at the end… so, at the end of it… Atleus is flying too fast.]
