“Chapter 187: Her True Colors 2”


    – What? Septe? (Raviola)


    Septe looks like a simple girl taking care of someone she admires. Nothing suspicious whatsoever.


    But that innocence is exactly what piqued his interest.


    – This is not the time for jokes. (Septe)


    I took out the five gold coins from our match with Zezekiel.


    – Raviola-sama, do you remember how I beat the fallen angel?


    – Yes. I knew about your aptitudes. I was sure you would be able to pull something off.


    – Right. I don’t have a skill to alter luck or anything like that. If I hadn’t cheated, someone would’ve died. Or that’s what you think. Mumuruu, can you check the coins?


    – Sure.


    Mumuruu threw all the coins, but even the ones that were about to land on tails turned at the very last second to land on head.


    – All of them would’ve been heads!?


    – Exactly. We would’ve won anyways. In fact, due to the Sage of Light’s restraints, there was a chance my magic wouldn’t have worked.


    – So the fallen angel… (Septe)


    – She was planning to lose from the start. In fact, we knew Raviola would choose me as the coin tosser.


    – But why did she do that? I’m sure I pierced her heart with my sword. We all saw her turn to dust. (Raviola)


    – She’s well and alive. Actually, that wasn’t even the actual Zezekiel.


    – What!?


    – Mumuruu, is that guy here yet?


    – Yeah. He came along with me.


    My shadow started twisting again.


    – Hey, I thought we were friends. What’s with the “That guy”?


    – Well, excuse me for trying to be more private.


    – Haha, don’t worry. I was going to introduce myself anyways.


    – Wha-!? You… (Raviola)


    From my back emerged an angel that was supposed to be dead.


    – How long are you planning to stay like that?


    – I thought it’d be easier if she saw it in action.


    Slowly, the fallen angel Zezekiel transformed into a boy with white hair and bright red pupils.


    – Hey, princess~ Is that Seventh Fall? I heard the rumors about it. It’s a good thing I moved my nucleus to my arm before I got hit.


    – What… are you?


    – My name is Kouya. I’m Takaya’s friend. I’m also the representative of the demon king.
