Episode 141: An Angel on a Date (6)
Yumari was not as expressionless as usual, but greeted with a bright smile.
‘It’s a fake smile.’
However, the referee, who had been observing Yumari’s expression for a long time, could see that that smile was a lie.
Just a smile like a mask. In fact, there were many times when Yumari didn’t feel very good when she smiled like this.
And Soya felt the same way.
Watching the wind angel staring intently at Yumari, Soya muttered without hiding her irritation.
“It’s been a while, since I saw you last week.”
“Ahaha, if we haven’t seen each other for a week after seeing each other, wouldn’t it be right for a long time?”
Marie still looks happy. The referee was well aware that it was only acting like that.
‘Even the horns are a little bigger. It means you’re emotionally agitated.’
What can be emotionally disturbing? Yumari was an icy girl who was not shaken by the bullying under the guise of the student council president Yoo Shi-hyeon’s interest, or even by the contempt and discrimination within her family.
But are you agitating?
As a guardian angel, the referee had no choice but to ask.
“What’s going on?”
“… No, no.”
After shaking her head, Marie asked again.
“But we met like this, where can we have coffee?”
“I don’t have time.”
Soya grabbed the referee’s sleeve and walked out of the department store. At that moment, Marie’s mask cracks.
Marie’s smile disappeared as if alcohol had evaporated, and her horns grew a little bigger, creating an overbearing atmosphere.
And the cold expressionless expression revealed.
“Reference, I have something to tell you.”
Yumari grabbed the referee’s hand as he was being dragged away. When the referee was not brought along, Soya understood the situation.
“Ugh… … .”
As the referee was dragged along by the half dragon’s power, Soya grabbed the referee’s hand and dragged him as if unable to lose.
“Hey, guys?”
The referee, who became so caught up in the tug-of-war line, looked at the two girls in embarrassment.
“It’s a really important story. I need time.”
Yumari asks with a hard expression.
“Referee, this is a reward for today. remember? It has nothing to do with Yumari!”
A cow who grunts and grabs the referee.
The referee caught in the middle was bewildered without being able to do this or that, and in the end he gently released Yumari’s hand.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Marie. I made an appointment with Soya today.”
“… it’s okay. It’s not something I’m going to talk about in an open place like this, but the situation is like this.”
Yumari smiled again.
However, the size of the horns was still the same.
“Then call or text me later! What kind of Joseon Dynasty are you? Do we have to meet and talk? Ah, Seocheon Yuga is like the daughter of the Jongga family, so you can’t use that?”
Soya can’t hide her joy when the referee shakes off Yumari’s hand. But he was only pretending to be angry, suppressing the corners of his lips that were about to go up.
“It was urgent. Miss Marie, I’m sorry.”
In an instant, the corners of Marie’s eyebrows went down, and her shoulders shrank.
Marie looks at Soya and looks really sorry. Seeing that expression, Soya said, ‘… Be careful next time.’ He said and took a step back.
Of course, only the referee knows that there is no emotion in this apology.
“May I ask for a soundproof barrier?”
“… What the hell is going on?”
Soya grunted like that, creating a small soundproof barrier with just a few gestures.
“Reference, what happened with Rainmaker?”
“… Rainmaker. Oh, there was a little trouble, but it went well.”
It had just happened.
It wasn’t much of a problem.
I thought it worked out pretty well.
What the referee was curious about was how Marie, who was not in the room, knew what had just happened.
“It was not just a problem. He forgave him of his sins and showed him how to be saved.”
“… uh, how do you do that?”
“Reference, you need to know that we don’t have one or two eyes looking at you. You are the only angel left on earth.”
Marie bit her lip and wiped her face.
and muttered
“It’s so pure. I also have to protect you.”

No one was paying attention to the girl’s mumbled words.
really fortunately.
“… yes it was I gave him a chance.”
“It didn’t happen that way.”
“why?”
Yumari looked at the referee again. That innocent expression on her face that she didn’t know anything. His green eyes showed faith and charity, and his nose and lips showed compassion for the world.
‘I want to touch you. No, I want to have it. I want to make it mine.’
Yumari felt the nature of the dragon wriggling within her, and she sensed how different she was from the referee.
If he is a predator, the referee is not a predator. A person who only knows how to give but does not know how to take.
Yumari knew one such person.
‘Why is a sleeping child so angelic? … .’
I remembered the old voice.
Her fists were clenched, and Yumari’s hands turned white.
“As the referee knows, there are many sinners in this world.”
including yourself.
There are many sinners in this world.
“There are a lot of people who have committed some really terrible crimes, are still doing them, and have fun plotting to do them.”
“I know. However… … .”
“Some of those sinners… Instead of being brought to justice with their incredible power and wealth, they legally eliminate the victims.”
Yumari said calmly.
“They are not afraid of anything but one. What if you hit your family in broad daylight while driving drunk? Stop buying the media and cover up the facts. Is there anyone you don’t like? Send in the superhuman thugs to deal with it.”
Calmly, without a change of tone, he spoke of sin. Soya, who was quietly listening to this story next to her, was secretly hiding behind the referee’s shoulder in madness at Yumari.
“Is there anyone who wants to uphold justice? Stop trashing him through corrupt law enforcement. And if you like someone of the opposite s*x, they threaten you and make her your concubine… … .”
“I know. I know!”
Tears welled up in the referee’s eyes.
Yumari shook a little at those tears.
“I know how corrupt this world is.”
Memories that come to mind instantly. Memories of a cold floor that you will never be able to escape from. In that dark sofa, only the light was directed along the line. But what flows along that line… … .
A red, cruel light illuminates the world. With a sadness that seems to never be able to sleep.
“I know. However… … .”
“I’m sorry. I forgot that the referee was aware of this.”
Yumari gently wipes the referee’s tears. The horned girl continued speaking again.
“They are not afraid of anything. Except for the judgment after death.”
“… Referee?”
“Yes, the more corrupted and powerful, the better they know the truth of this world. that the heavens in religion actually exist. And that heaven has so much power that it limits the superhumans with a system called the status window.”
Yumari said.
“And the one who will judge those unforgivable sinners. that there is an angel of judgment. They know this very well.”
angel of judgment.
The referee was aware of its existence.
“The crime they committed is beyond imagining. Really. How fearful of a heavenly judgment would such beings fear? But at this point an angel with the right to forgive has come down?”
“… I see.”
The referee finally
I realized what Yumari was talking about.
“As much as you fear judgment, you will try to be forgiven through me.”
“To be precise, you are going to buy indulgences. Or threaten to take it. Because the way to fulfill the demands of the intelligent body is not only through trade and intimidation… … .”
Marie’s eerie hints.
The referee swallowed his saliva and asked again.
“Then what should I do?”
“We will have to be more careful in the future. Some will try to seduce the referee, some will try to intimidate the referee… … .”
Yumari whispered into the referee’s ear.
“Still, I will protect you.”
“no it’s not. I will protect the referee. As a friend!”
Soya pulls the referee back again.
The referee was gently dragged by the girl’s hand and muttered while looking at Marie.
“… thank you.”
“No, it was normal.”
A beautiful girl with long black hair, reminiscent of a transparent moon, politely greeted me.
“Then see you next time. Referee, Miss Soya.”
“huh.”
“Okay, see you next time.”
So Yumari left.
Watching the girl leave behind,
The referee couldn’t help but fall into thoughts.
‘All humans are descendants of murderers.’
The class of Saint Rebecca, a professor of theology, comes to mind.
‘Humans are the closest creatures to the Demon King.’
The next thing I remembered was the sophistry of the heinous demon lord.
‘Humans are really ugly creatures. If it disappears, this world will become more beautiful.’
In the now gone future, I remembered the cry of the fallen Rainmaker.
Why would they say that?
words that cannot be understood.
But words that are vaguely understood.
The referee’s hand was trembling.
Even though he was still awake, it was as if he was in a nightmare.
loneliness so deep,
It was wrapped around the referee’s shoulder.
The dance of the white fingers that occupied the referee’s gaze.
Hesitating – Hesitating.
little by little, little by little,
The girl’s white fingers approached without knowing what to do.
In the end, the fingers touched the referee’s fingers, swiped and pressed the palms of each other’s palms together, and then came hugging each other.
As the referee raised his gaze, he could see Soya’s cheeks that had changed like blush.
“Hey, this is… My friend is sad, so from a level of comfort… So maybe you don’t have a lot of self-interest… … .”
“thank you.”
I knew it was a tough world. A world in which not being born may be salvation.
The referee still lives.
There are young warriors to protect.
“Hey, it’s a dangerous life anyway, no, it’s a heavenly life. The Demon King is still intact, and as Marie said, there are many bad guys in this world.”
The referee said in an excited voice.
“But let’s have fun today!”
“Good, good.”
Looking at the referee who had regained his vitality, Soya glanced at the secretly hidden notebook.
“Okay, so the next plan is… … .”
“plan?”
“There is no plan. But if you trust and follow my genius intellect… … .”
Soya chuckled and laughed.
Of course, the ball was still red.
The other fingers were still twitching in embarrassment. Aside from her appearance, which looked like a mysterious woman, her actions still looked too young.
“It will be fine then, referee. This woman… Just trust your friends and follow me.”
“yes?”
“Don’t grab the pod. Come on, follow me!”
After all these twists and turns, the referee and Soya were able to move on to their next date.
