妻子的谎言

"So what? He died, how does it have anything to do with the eye of destruction?" Sato asked while following behind Hikari.

"Ahh, to think you'd have gotten the gist by now." Hikari sighed as she shook her head. "Fun fact… I also don't know".

"Ehhhhhh?"

Hikari laughed when she saw Sato's panicked expression, "Relax, all we know is, the eye managed to enter the demon territory and ever since then, they've been fighting for it." She explained.

"Does this mean you also have no idea how to destroy the eye's power?" Sato asked, "Such magic isn't something that should be disregarded".

"If it looks like it's getting out of hand, the overseers will most definitely step in, but since they haven't, it calls for no alarm." Hikari suddenly stopped.

She faced Sato and uttered with a smile, "There… she's waiting for you." Hikari said, pointing at the far distance.

Sato gulped down his saliva as he began to take steps forward, he walked past Hikari and continued.

From afar, he could see a pink majestic tree and someone sitting underneath it in a red dress.

The closer he got, the more visible the person got.

One more step and Sato got a clear view, his eyes widened in amazement when he met a beautiful girl seated under the tear.

Her red dress danced in the wind while her white hair fell behind her back. The girl had red sparkling eyes and was playing with the pink leaves that were falling from the trees.

"Hey…there." Sato voiced out nervously.

The girl was dazed when she heard his voice and immediately looked at him.

"Welcome, apologies, I was unable to accompany you to the battlefield," The girl uttered.

"You really are Helix, right?" Sato questioned, his eyes peeking at her with wonder.

She tilted her head to the side profoundly before she replied, "I was sure you'd recognize my voice, my new form did…".

"It really is you!" Sato shouted, running and kneeling in front of her before he grabbed her cheeks.

"Wow, you look just like a doll… an extremely pretty one." Sato said while she searched her eyes.

"Angels are known to be especially attractive," Helix voiced out.

Sato immediately gave a deadpan expression before looking to the left where Hikari stood.

"She's still speaking like some kind of computer." Sato said before sighing.

He let go of her cheeks and sat down on the ground, "So, tell me Helix, where exactly did you go? I couldn't hear your voice back there." Sato muttered, his eyes focused on the ground as he spoke.

"After many efforts, I was able to come to the conclusion that, since the eye of destruction was manifested from the sacrifice of an angel, it is safe to assume angels are generally weak to its power." Helix explained.

"She's right." Hikari chimed in, "Angels can't function well around its magic, it either kills them or traps them in a mindless state".

"Okay I get that much, Helix was weakened by it, so how exactly am I supposed to defeat Vlad if I can use my angel…. Wait! Helix is an angel?!" Sato shouted, standing up from the ground from the shock.

Hikari burst into laughter, "You're just realizing that now?" She uttered with more laughter following right after.

Sato fell back to his knees and grabbed Helix by the arm before he asked, "Helix is this true, are you really an angel?".

"I was told I am, although I have no way of knowing," Helix responded with the same doll-like expression on her face.

"Aril is barely more than 1 year old, infact she wasn't meant to be your guardian in the first place." Hikari exposed.

"What do you mean by that?" Sato asked, staring back at Hikari intensively.

"Surely you don't expect to be the only person that's been reincarnated to this World do you?" Hikari teased, "Every time a living species reincarnates into this world, they are immediately given a guardian angel".

Hikari continued…..

The angel that was sent to be Sato's guardian was supposed to be Hikari herself, the mother of all angels.

But an error happened, Aril, the angel of knowledge was being sent to her guardian when she suddenly changed course and instead linked with Sato.

The cause of the accident remained with Hikari, and she refused to tell anyone about it.

Sato sighed after hearing the explanation, "That clears things up, no wonder she's so intelligent with everything, I thought she was just a skill or something." He muttered.

"Oh she is a skill, that is the job of the angel, they link up with their host and become whatever the host needs, in your case… the iconic analysis skill." Hikari let out a smile as she stared at Sato.

Sato looked at Helix and asked, "Do you know a way I can stop the horror going on right now?".

Helix stared back at Sato and touched her forehead with his, sharing the thoughts she had with him.

After she was done, Helix pulled away, "Those are the solutions I could come up with due to your limits in magic".

"Thank you." Sato stood up from the ground and turned to Hikari, "Take me back, it's time I put an end to all this." He requested.

"Are you sure you are ready? If you die again, I cannot save you like I did the first time." Hikari warned.

"I know, I'm putting my trust in Helix, and she has never disappointed me." Sato responded confidently.

Hikari looked at Helix before she sighed at the view, "Okay, if you really feel like you're ready, then go for it".

A portal immediately showed up behind Sato that led back to the human realm.

Sato looked at the portal and took a huge breath, "Here I go." He muttered to himself, trying to build up enough confidence to go with whatever he had planned.

"If you survive, I'll release the spell that lets you forget about our encounters as a reward." Hikari voiced out from behind Sato.

Sato still had his attention focused on the portal, after he felt he was ready, he ran into the portal and screamed, "You better remember that!".
