“Hmm, I see… I understand the story well.”

After hearing the entire explanation, Raphael nodded, then closed his eyes and placed his finger on his chin as if thinking for a moment.

The sight was like a painting, and the two male angels were staring at it blankly.

“Hmm, but is it really that much of a problem?”

“…to?”

That time when I was looking at your face blankly.

Raphael tilted his head and asked them.

“That witch was constantly causing trouble, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

As Raphael said, the witch Minael was an uncontrollable nuisance.

I wouldn’t worry too much if the victims were just prisoners, but victims sometimes occur among the guards as well.

It wasn’t that difficult to deal with this.

‘But that doesn’t mean I, the person in charge of this city, can’t step forward.’

Muriel, the city’s chief officer and highest-ranking angel, can subdue her.

Actually, it’s not that difficult.

But he is literally the city’s chief executive.

In other words, it is like a lord or king.

I was too busy with other things, and I couldn’t pay attention to a single prisoner who, although he occasionally caused damage to a few guards, didn’t cause any bigger problems.

The same goes for other higher-ranking angels.

Since everyone has a role to play, like Runaen, the team leader of the Public Security Maintenance Bureau, it would be too much of a waste of manpower to take them out separately and manage a single prisoner on a regular basis.

However, the prison problem could not be left to outsiders… It was truly a headache that was difficult to deal with.

“Then you sorted out that trouble, right? Is there a problem?”

“…?”

In response to Raphael’s question, Muriel tilted her head this time.

Is there a problem? That’s right…

‘what? Is there a problem…?’

When I thought about it, I realized that it might not be as serious a problem as I thought.

At first, it was said to be an urgent agenda, and I thought it was dangerous because I didn’t know what the new person in power would do after capturing the witch, which even the prison director was reluctant to do.

But if you think about it, it didn’t actually cause a problem.

Rather, unlike witches who only cause accidents, isn’t it possible that conversation and control may be possible to some extent if the demands are met?

Like Kirinuel, the vice-principal of ‘Tacheon’ who was the former king of the prison.

‘Definitely, as Raphael said, there is no particular problem. ‘At this point.’

On the contrary, if you think there is a problem and scratch it to make a mess, it may become a real problem from then on.

Of course, it can be annoying if you try to fix it after something happens, but it’s more problematic to create something that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

“…First, ask the prison warden to talk to the prisoner. If you think a deal is possible, listen to the request as much as possible.”

“Should I just convey it like that?”

“Yes. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ll have to order or handle anything myself.”

The secretary nodded to Muriel’s words, bowed to Raphael, and left the reception room.

“Hehe, there is a saying like that. ‘It doesn’t matter if you don’t make it a problem, but if you make it a problem, it becomes a problem.’”

“…Haha, I see.”

He smiled awkwardly and answered, but he thought to himself, ‘I don’t think this is the right word to use in times like this.’

Of course, I didn’t say it out loud.

I just thought he was a person with a more unusual charm than I thought.

And the owner of that strange charm thought to himself as he drank the tea Muriel provided.

‘It would still be dangerous for it to become known to the world. This is as much as I can do. What happens next… Well, you figure it out. ‘If he is the one of prophecy…’

She smiles and looks into space.

Her eyes looked like they were not the same sight as they are now.

It was as if I was looking at something far away, at a sight that had yet to come.

“According to sources, ‘Raphael’, one of the 12 archangels, is in the parlor of ‘Muriel’, the chief officer of Blueall.”

“What? Archangel?”

Park Ji-hoon was surprised by the appearance of a completely unexpected name and asked back.

An archangel.

Why would the 12 strongest and greatest of the angels that exist in Utopia, the central city of the heavens, come to this city on the outskirts?

“I’m not sure. On the surface, it is said to be a city inspection… but honestly, the city inspection is done by Archangel…”

Park Ji-hoon also strongly sympathized with Lunaen’s words.

Honestly, doesn’t this seem like the president visited Hapcheon, Gyeongsangnam-do without any plans, just to inspect the city?

‘why? suddenly? ‘Why?’

I can’t help but think of…

‘That look at that time… Could it have been Raphael’s?’

The empty gaze I felt in prison.

After all, wasn’t it just a matter of mood?

‘No, that’s not important.’

Okay, why did Raphael come here now?

And who is the owner of that gaze?

That’s not important.

Park Jihoon asked Lunaen with a very serious expression.

“Raphael, are you a girl? Are you pretty?”

“Yes?”

As expected, it was an obvious pattern.

“Ah, yes… I understand you are a woman. And when you look at the photo, you can see that she was an incredibly benevolent and beautiful person.”

I’ve never seen it in person, but I’ve only seen it in pictures.

Nonetheless, its beauty was clearly conveyed.

A gentle and beautiful angel who seems to personify the breeze.

That was Runaen’s assessment.

“Yes, this is it.”

Jihoon Park grinned, wondering what he was thinking.

For some reason, Runaen felt that that smile was ominous.

“That… honey? I wonder what you are thinking…”

Park Ji-hoon drove a wedge into her, who seemed anxious.

“If she’s a pretty angel, I should go see her in person. Isn’t that right?”

“…to?”

At Park Ji-hoon’s words, Runaen’s body stopped for a moment as if it had come to a temporary halt.

So after 2 seconds.

“Wow, that’s nonsense…!! An archangel? You’re the strongest angel out of only 12 in heaven?!”

Aside from that, there are many problems that make no sense in reality.

First of all, Park Ji-hoon is currently under a fake identity as Suiren, but he is imprisoned anyway.

If something happens to him, there’s no telling what kind of uproar there will be in the prison.

And if Park Ji-hoon’s true identity is revealed to Archangel by chance, the entire Utopia may come after Park Ji-hoon and kill him.

In the first place, it is unclear whether he will be able to win in a fight with the Archangel, and even if he can win, he may be able to subdue him and turn him into a familiar.

There are too many uncertainties and the risks are high.

This… is too dangerous.

“Hey, don’t worry. Because I have thoughts.”

But Park Ji-hoon shouted and told me not to worry.

Is there some kind of operation going on?

“Anyway, in prison, if you set yourself on fire, you won’t get caught… And the goal is to take people’s eyes off of me in the first place.”

“Yes? What is that…”

Rather, the purpose of revealing oneself is to draw attention away from it.

What on earth does this mean?

“I think they already have some idea that there is an intruder. So, the Archangel must have come to this frontier.”

It certainly was.

Otherwise, Raphael would have no reason to come here.

Of course, I don’t know why the entire heaven stopped moving and Raphael came alone.

Perhaps he is still in the doubt stage, or he thinks Raphael alone is enough.

“And, Suiren may be under suspicion. This means that even if you just sit quietly in prison, you could become dangerous someday.”

Park Ji-hoon recalled the gaze he felt earlier.

That was clearly the look in the eyes of someone doubting their own identity.

There is no doubt that Isirius’s transformation can be suspected and sensed, and that that being is Archangel Raphael, who suddenly came to this city.

‘Suspicious circumstances have been detected.’

Perhaps it was because, as Isirius said, the magic power was exposed too much to the outside world.

I’m not sure about that.

In any case, one thing is certain: there is an intruder in heaven.

And that the intruder is in Blueol, and his identity is suspected to be Suiren.

These two things were certain.

“So it actually makes it stand out.”

Seiren is not an intruder.

There are separate intruders.

It shows it.

Seeing as they are not attacking properly, it seems they are still in the suspicious stage and have not been able to see through the alter ego.

Suiren’s self-immolation in prison will remain as is, and if Park Ji-hoon shows up, the charges against Suiren will be dropped.

And Park Ji-hoon lures Raphael and goes to another city.

‘If possible, I should go as far as possible.’

In that distant city, he disappears again.

Then they will think that the invaders are hiding in other cities and will send troops there.

“Then we can buy more time. A time when I can improve my adaptability and increase my power within the heavens.”

If you are already under suspicion, you have no choice.

Either stay still and get caught, or intentionally get caught and then turn a blind eye.

Park Ji-hoon chose the latter.

‘Well, I also want to meet Raphael, who is so damn pretty.’

…I thought this might be the real purpose.

“Anyway, that’s it, let’s go. In that place called the reception room.”

“…Yes, I understand.”

Although she was a little worried, Runaen eventually nodded.

In the end, she was Park Ji-hoon’s faithful familiar, and all she could do was trust Park Ji-hoon.
