Chapter-28: "My Incompetent Head of State..."

————————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\

3rd POV | Seitenshi's Office |

"I already know about the affairs that threaten the peace and security of my area"

"You're not really that naive are you?" Ren's eyes shone with dangerous light.

"Of course, I know that my dreams sound like a pipe dream, but I'll make them true, as the Governor of Tokyo, that was my promise to them.."

The reason why her area is so messed up is because her trusted confidant Kikunojou had been hiding them. He really wanted to protect the Seitenshi but of course, he was still human and had emotions, so when he found out that the Seitenshi wanted to pass a law that would protect the Cursed Children, he couldn't let that happen...

The Gastrea killed his family, so he developed a strong and severe hatred towards the Gastrea, and because the Cursed Children had Gastrea blood, he hated them too, even if they were children. Kikunojou was kind to humans and children, but he didn't see the Cursed Children as humans and even treated them like subjects, like cannon fodders..

"Did you even try to check if your laws were being conducted?"

The Seitenshi looked down and and started feeling uneasy inside but she didn't show any emotion on her face and body as she replied while looking back up at Ren.

"I have indeed been busy but I had Kikunojou do checks every month"

"Hm, Did you know Kikunojou has been hiding many things from you?"

Ren was talking about the laws she "implemented" that was hidden in the dark and even if it was revealed, the enforcers, won't administer the law.

People innately despise the Gastrea as they do to the Cursed Children. Hatred won't disappear overnight because of some law that she passed.

"Hate won't disappear.. He's only human after all"

"Hate is one of the most primal emotions ingrained to a conscious being with an instinct and has a developed mind..."

Ren raised his index finger and pointed it to the side of his head.

"Like us..."

1st POV | Ren's POV |

"It can't..."

The Seitenshi's eyes in front of me, the always calm and cool Seitenshi, widened her eyes in slight shock as her emotions became still again like a calm lake that was disrupted by a stone thrown into it, in a brief moment it rippled, but it always returned to calm..

"So..Do you understand now?"

"I have indeed understood what you had meant.."

She might have realized what was happening, but I need to educate her more about the things that happened to those children... Those children.. had lived tragic lives, so they had developed a mentality unfit for children..

"There's still more that you need to hear, you might not be ready but it is the cruel reality"

Haaaaah..

I sighed with a dark and heavy sigh, then, I readied myself to say all that I wanted to say from the moment I watched their anime..

I straightened my gaze as our eyes met..

"What kind of naive thoughts do you have that you will fully trust your enforcers to enforce the Cursed Children law when they also lost their everything to the Gastrea?"

"Don't you realize it's a bad idea to leave the enforcing to traumatized people that will stop at nothing to hurt these innocent children because they were born with just the tiniest bit of Gastrea blood?"

I took one look at her light blue eyes and felt her will waver as I recount all of the tragedies that had occurred due to her decisions..

"These children kept dying in the hundreds, not just in this country, but all surviving countries too! Because of these children's blood that was spilled and flowed like a river, normal people could live peacefully! You'd think they will be celebrated as the heroes they are right?!—"

My hands trembled for a bit in anger, feeling overwhelmed by what I said, but I still continued..

"—Wrong! Fucking wrong! They were fucking despised! When they should have been paraded as heroes and given their childhood that they rightfully deserve that they never, ever got to do! Why? because humans hated them for having Gastrea blood!..."

Whoooooooo.....I finally let the steam out, I had been wanting to tell that to her face because I saw that she did absolutely nothing to try and protect the Children, I saw how many children die in the arms of this world's protagonist, Rentaro—

—One of the only good people in this world, I've seen his eyes grow duller with each and every death, until he has been broken...

"To summarize it all, your rule is frail and the others are corrupt, to be honest some of them are even vying for your Area"

"As to answer your first question of what I am?..."

—Whoooosh!!

12 wings, 12 jet black wings emerged from Ren's back, it has a dark luster in which seems to suck the light around it. Seitenshi's eyes were drawn to the giant magnificent wings that had appeared.

"You...."

The Seitenshi was speechless as Ren nodded. "Yes, I am a part of a race in the Biblical myths, the race that was cast down from Heaven by God due to sin, who were called the servants of the Heavenly Father..—"

"A Fallen... Angel!..."

A legendary race that she had read from various mythological and historical books, the Fallen Angel has appeared in front of her..

'If a Fallen Angel exists...then Heaven and Hell does too, which means!..'

"Does God exist?"

"...."

"Yes and no..."

Deciding on what he'll say, he decided to say the truth...

"What do you mean?"

The Seitenshi was confused along with her initial excitement. With a deep breath, Ren started talking.

"God does exist..but there is none in this world.."

"Huh? What?"

The Seitenshi was now very confused, and her initial excitement and anger had gone down the drain, overwhelmed by Ren's revelation.

"This..can't be?! You are a Fallen Angel! Which means you were a former Angel, so tell me God exists!"

She became horrified as her arms shook as she leaned closer to Ren.

"Tell me, he exists, right?!?!"
