While Angel is moving, father and his merry band are in full banquet mode.
Let's leave it alone.
Now that we've built up enough strength to compete with each other, when Angel comes back--we'll fight back.
We will fight back.
Suddenly Eliza said something like that.
When I looked at her, her eyes were quite serious.
"What? Why?
"Why? ......
Now he was awestruck.
"They were trying to get you, because they were in a bad way.
Yes.
It's been manageable so far, but you don't know what's going to happen.
You don't know when you - the people around you - are going to come to blows.
That's okay.
"Huh?
Eliza, who had been yelling at me with such force, is flabbergasted.
What do you mean you're okay?
This time I know better, I'm the only one who will be targeted.
"...... basis
Eliza was still Eliza.
She was smart, rational.
As is often the case in such situations, "Why not? And without getting emotional.
So I was able to explain calmly, too.
"First of all, Astaroth, Azazel, and Markosius. You know that both gods and angels are stuck in the rules of this world, the rules of being a good person or not.
Yeah, they all did something and fell, and then Alec did something about it.
And you know, this divine punishment was the weakest--not the sharpest--that I've ever seen.
"Sharp?
Yeah, he's always done that, but this time he was more focused on me. Do you know what that means?
Eliza thought for a moment and glanced at your father and his merry band of friends.
"I didn't want to involve them.
That kind of thing. I think even the Creator God is in the logic of the world.
I'm sure of it.
You're so sure of that, aren't you?
"Yeah. . ...... snobbery.
You can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
It's not that much of a good deed or virtue to kill me alone, but I think it's a waste of time to involve ordinary people as well.
I see. But that doesn't change the fact that they'll always be after Alec.
Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.
".................. That's right.
After an awfully long silence.
I don't know why I was a little dumbfounded on the way.
Eliza nodded and put on a satisfied face.
Surely there was no problem. As long as you were the only one targeted for what you could handle.
"Yes.
The explanation was over and Eliza was convinced.
Just then, Angel came back.
"Sorry for the delay, Mr. Alec.
"It's a ...... bag?
Eliza tilted her head again when she saw what Angel was carrying when she came back.
''Yes, a food bag. I usually carry it with me, but as expected, it's divine punishment, and I left all my belongings except for the Philosopher's Sword to focus on.
