Chapter 52 It's an angel! Feathers fluttered down.

"no."

The decisive rejection brought Takanashi Chika back to her senses, and she looked at Gin with a confused expression.

Why?

The organization is so evil, and they were harmed by it, so why does my brother still like it?

Gin didn't particularly like organizing things; he simply said, "This is none of your business. There are plenty of adults out there; it's not necessary for a kid like you to get involved."

"I'm not a child anymore, I'm an adult!"

"That's not necessary." Gin's tone left no room for argument.

Kenji Hagiwara comforted her, "Chinataka, don't be angry. Your brother is just worried about you."

"I'm not angry, but I can still help in some way!" Takanashi Chinatsu said, unwilling to give up.

Gin knew these words weren't directed at him, and didn't delve into it, simply saying, "With me and him here, you don't need to worry about anything."

"Why should I? What is the point of my existence? To cause trouble for you? I'm even holding him back!" Putting everything else aside, just look at this so-called lucky curse on her body, isn't it just causing trouble for her adoptive father all the time?

"China, you must be obedient."

"I won't listen!" Chinatsu Takanashi refused resolutely, saying defiantly, "I've already reached an agreement with the FBI and MI6. Don't treat me like a child. I'm the organization's next successor, and I can do much more than you can!"

Gin's face darkened upon hearing this. "You've contacted the FBI and MI6?"

"That's right, I'm going to overthrow the organization, and I can help!"

"Cut off all contact with them immediately, and don't let the organization find out." Gin said almost in a commanding tone.

But this time, Takanashi Chinatsu wasn't so easily persuaded: "No!"

"Don't be willful!"

"I'm not being willful, it's just that you've always looked down on me!"

Gin's face darkened further. Although he could deal with his subordinates or traitors with ruthless methods, he felt rather helpless when it came to his sweet and gentle sister.

Kenji Hagiwara whispered, "Chinatsu-chan, I think Gin doesn't look down on you, he's just too worried about you."

"Does worrying about me mean you can control me? I have things I want to do, and I want to be able to help!" Chinatsu Takanashi retorted forcefully.

Kenji Hagiwara was disgruntled and didn't know how to comfort him.

Gin frowned and asked, "How did you get in touch with the FBI? You've never been in contact with them before."

The little bird, Chizuru, choked and immediately looked up at the sky.

"It's too late to play dumb now."

"I don't want to tell you." Takanashi Chinatsu still didn't want to betray Rai.

Is the FBI reliable?

“He is reliable, we share the same goals, and we are a group with common interests!”

Gin knew perfectly well that he was male.

"Since he was infiltrating the organization, he should have known your importance and never thought of arresting you?"

Takanashi Chika pouted, "Hmm... Rai did have that thought."

"This trip abroad is the best opportunity."

Chinatsu Takanashi was completely speechless; it was only during this trip abroad that Rae had this idea.

Gin suddenly said, "It's Ray."

Takanashi Chika gasped. How did they find out?

Kenji Hagiwara, standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch anymore. It was too obvious, Chinatsu-chan!

Gin's smirk suddenly turned into a deep malice. This malice was not directed at Chika. If Rai appeared in front of him now, he would definitely step on the gas and ram him.

“Good, very good.” Gin praised with a cold smile: “Ray is quite capable. He joined the organization back then by relying on women, and now he wants to destroy the organization by relying on women. Does he have that much charm?” As he spoke, his eyes drifted to Takanashi Chinatsu.

Takanashi Chinatsu suddenly felt guilty and was still making a last-ditch effort: "How could it be Rai? Rai and I have the worst relationship."

“I sent Scotland to you, and so did Bourbon. Only Ray was someone you chose yourself. You’re right, you’ve always had a bad relationship with him, but why did you choose him as your subordinate?”

Chinatsu Takanashi couldn't offer a single reasonable explanation, because the most reasonable explanation was the truth.

Rye is an FBI agent who wants to destroy the organization, and they hit it off immediately.

But it's all over now. Gin has found out about Rai's identity, and Rai is in deep trouble.

Chinatsu tried tugging at Gin's sleeve, her eyes pleading.

Don't give me that.

"Please, please, please!" Takanashi Chinatsu bombarded her repeatedly, her tone pitiful.

Gin sighed and pulled his sleeve back, asking, "When we were abroad, did Ray try to capture you?"

"No! MI6 wanted to arrest me. Ray saved me and even helped facilitate my cooperation with MI6." Takanashi Chinatsu knew that lies that were only partially true were the easiest to believe.

"Chinatsuba-chan has started lying to her brother for the sake of outsiders." Kenji Hagiwara floated back and forth in front of Chinatsuba.

"Get away from me!" Takanashi Chinatsu waved her hand, trying to pull Hagiwara Kenji aside.

"Behave yourself," Gin snapped.

Kenji Hagiwara was intimidated by Gin and behaved himself, no longer daring to cause trouble.

Gin realized that with his sister acting so coquettishly, he couldn't do anything to Rae right now, so he simply changed the subject.

"If you bring him along, will he be able to help you?" Gin couldn't see Kenji Hagiwara, but his peripheral vision pinpointed him.

Kenji Hagiwara stiffened, then reacted after a moment, raising his fist to bolster his courage: "I'm the ghost, and I'm a police officer too. How dare you talk to a police officer like me?"

Chinatsu Takanashi couldn't help but laugh, but she still spoke well of Kenji Hagiwara: "Kenji is very capable. He helped me a lot, otherwise this time it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

How can I help you?

"For example, dealing with ghost-related problems?"

"If you hadn't brought him along, you might not have had that kind of trouble," Gin said bluntly.

Takanashi Chika smiled sullenly. It seemed to be true. Although she could see ghosts, she would pretend not to see them on ordinary days. Ordinary ghosts would not bother her.

"I can also chat with Chinatsu-chan and keep her from being bored!" Kenji Hagiwara exclaimed.

Takanashi Chika didn't dare to relay his message, as she was genuinely worried that Gin would stop the car and kill him.

"Anyway, I like to have him with me. No one else can see him, and he can fly around to check the surroundings. I feel much more at ease with him around."

Gin's expression softened slightly. "It's not entirely useless. Just think of it as raising a dog."

Kenji Hagiwara had already floated up to Gin and was about to throw a punch.

Takanashi Chinatsu muttered under her breath, "You can't say that..."

"Don't connect with him casually in the future, or he will drain your magic."

"Anyway, I don't know magic, so even if he absorbs it..."

"Use your brain!" Gin said, his tone becoming more forceful.

Chika Takanashi immediately dared not say anything more, though she still looked unconvinced.

“I’ll contact Eriol and have him teach you magic.” Gin made the decision immediately. On one hand, his sister had already started getting involved in the organization’s affairs, so he needed to give her more ways to protect herself. On the other hand, he didn’t want Chika to waste her magic power on a cop ghost.

Chinatsu nods repeatedly, her previous hostility completely gone. Now, Chinatsu is actually looking forward to seeing Eriol and sharing with him the winged paw that she caught in her second year of graduate school!

"This is an angel."

"Eh???!!!" After Eriol revealed the origin of the flesh ball, Takanashi Chinatsu and Hagiwara Kenji let out the same shocked scream.

Angel? ? ?

Is this thing an angel?

"Impossible!" Kenji Hagiwara was the first to find it unacceptable, trying to describe it with his hands: "Don't angels all have three pairs of wings?"

“Six-winged angels are of a higher rank. Lower-ranking angels only have one pair of wings. Didn’t you notice how holy their wings are?” Elio said, pointing to the other’s pure white wings.

Takanashi Chinatsu was equally unable to accept it: "But shouldn't angels be beautiful women or handsome men?" She had seen angels before, she really had seen them. After all, although Kinomoto Nadeshiko was in a ghost state, she had essentially become an angel.

Such a beautiful, wonderful, kind, and gentle being should be called an angel!

Elio chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Haven't you heard the rumor that demons are beautiful humanoids to seduce humans, while angels are ugly to intimidate devils? Although not all angels are this ugly, the one you captured is indeed an angel."

The eyes of Takanashi Chinatsu and Hagiwara Kenji instantly lost their color.

Angels... Angels...

Their beautiful illusions about angels were shattered!

"If it's an angel, why did it come to capture Sophie?" Kenji Hagiwara pointed to the victim next to him.

Elio carefully observed Sophie and sighed, "Her soul is very pure, which means she was a kind person in life. The angels didn't come to take her away, but to guide her to heaven."

Hagihara Kenji:…

Chizuru Takanashi's expression is strange, so they captured the wrong angel? But with its appearance, it's hard for anyone not to judge a book by its cover!

Elio approached the angel and slowly untied the white ropes, his voice gentle and polite: "I'm sorry, my friends offended you. They know nothing about angels, please forgive them."

The angel spread its previously bound wings again, but a few pure white feathers fell off.

Chinatsuko: ...

Hagihara Kenji:…

Eriol: ...

To be honest, Elio really wanted to pretend he didn't see it, but he couldn't.

He hadn't had such a headache in a long time. Since his reincarnation, the most troublesome thing was urging Sakura to practice magic. He never expected that he would have to appease the angel's emotions now.

He summoned his wand and gently tapped the direction of the feather. The feather floated with his movement and slowly flew back to the angel's wings, where it grew back densely and beautifully.

The ball of flesh shook its wings and flapped them, causing more broken feathers to fall.

Elio looked speechlessly at the guilty-looking man and ghost, wanting to shout, "What on earth did you do to the poor angel?"

“You have beautiful feathers and great power. The creatures of heaven are always kind and shouldn’t hold a grudge against two young people.” Elio cast a spell again, and the feathers fluttered up and grew back.

Just as Elio breathed a sigh of relief, a feather that had just grown out suddenly fell down.

His expression changed, and then more feathers fell, all the feathers that had just grown back fell out again.

"Eek—"

It was just a ball of flesh, without eyes or mouth, yet it emitted a sharp, mournful cry that ordinary people couldn't hear.

"Eriol, what's going on?" Takanashi Chinatsu immediately pulled Eriol aside to ask.

Elio's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he explained, "Feathers stained with filth can never return to an angel's body; Heaven does not allow filth to exist."

"No, it's perfectly clean!" Kenji Hagiwara looked at the white feathers on the ground.

"Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust, delusion, and dishonesty—these are sins, and they are filth." Elio looked helpless, glanced at the angel again, and whispered to the human and the ghost, "An angel's feathers don't usually fall off unless there's something wrong with it. I suspect it might have developed some sinful feelings towards you."

It's anger, it must be anger!

Takanashi Chika shrank back, arguing defiantly, "Even so, it's its own fault for not cultivating its mind properly, so it can't be considered our fault, right?"

Elio looked at her speechlessly, giving her a "what do you think?" look.

The angels are crying, Eriol has a headache, and Chinatsu Takanashi and Kenji Hagiwara are at a loss.

The door was pushed open, and Matsuda Jinpei entered, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Matsuda-nii!" Takanashi Chinatsu immediately went to apply the horn when she saw him arrive.

Elio politely introduced himself: "I am Tongze Elio, a magician."

"Matsuda Jinpei." After giving his name, Matsuda Jinpei couldn't help but glance at Eriol a few more times. After all, he hadn't been there when he met Eriol before, and when he arrived, it was already a sea of ​​roses.

"Nice to meet you."

The rhinoceros horn slowly emitted a strange fragrance, and gradually Kenji Hagiwara appeared before Jinpei Matsuda. At the same time, Jinpei Matsuda exclaimed in shock, "What is that?" He saw an angel.

Just as Elio was about to explain and tell him not to be afraid, he saw that Matsuda Jinpei not only did not retreat, but instead took a few quick steps toward the angel, his eyes almost pressed against the angel.

"How peculiar and strange, Hagi, is this the mount you caught?"

"No, Spring-Heeled Jack stayed in England and didn't come back with me."

"What is this thing?" Matsuda Jinpei's eyes showed no fear of the fleshy angel, only excitement. He even rubbed his hands together and asked, "Can I touch it?"

"That's not very polite." Elio's tone was unusually hesitant.

Kenji Hagiwara thought for a moment and then replied, "It should be fine, right? I rolled it all the way back."

Eriol: ...

He turned his neck very slowly, looking at Kenji Hagiwara in disbelief. "Are you a demon?" It's no wonder that an angel would feel anger; it's really hard not to be angry.

"It's smooth, much smoother than my skin, and very elastic!" Matsuda Jinpei had already started working on it, gently poking the fleshy ball with his fingers, leaving a dent with each poke, which quickly returned to its original state after his fingers left.

Eriol: ...

That's enough, that's really enough!

He had no choice but to step forward and forcefully separate Matsuda Jinpei from the angel. Although the angel did not dodge, he completely disapproved of Matsuda Jinpei's behavior, and a few more feathers fell out.

"This is an angel, and cannot be profaned." Elio tried his best to uphold the angel's dignity.

Matsuda Jinpei's mouth dropped open in shock, a look that Hagiwara Kenji captured with a smile on his phone.

"As expected, even Kojinpei was shocked!"

"It's hard not to be shocked!" Matsuda Jinpei raised his voice, pointing at the angel and asking, "That fleshy ball-like thing is an angel?"

"They say she's a low-ranking angel. Although her rank is a bit low, she is indeed an angel." Takanashi Chinatsu's tone was unusually complicated.

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes were lifeless; the beautiful image of an angel in his heart had been shattered.

Elio pinched his brow, feeling his temples throbbing and the veins on his forehead about to bulge out.

One demon pill leads to another; birds of a feather flock together, as expected. The people following Takanashi Chinatsu are not normal.

"Everyone, hold on a minute. I must explain to you that detaining an angel is no small matter. Heaven has many divisions of labor, and angels might come to punish us soon. Angels who specialize in combat are not easy to deal with." Elio tried to make them realize the important point and stop teasing the poor angel!

"We did not detain an angel!" Chinatsu Takanashi immediately stated.

Kenji Hagiwara followed up: "I've already let it go. It can leave at any time, and it can take Sophie with it."

Matsuda Jinpei did nothing and didn't know much about what had happened before, but he unconditionally stood by China and his childhood friend.

Elio smiled, his eyes crinkling, and gently told them the cruel reality: "But the angel has been hurt by you and is angry. It can't return to heaven like this."

Chinatsuka Takanashi immediately panicked: "But it's not like we're detaining them!"

"Go explain to the enforcement team of Heaven." A tangible black aura seemed to emanate from Elio's body, and he really wanted to turn around and leave.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

Gin asked him to teach Takanashi Chinatsu magic, and Takanashi Chinatsu was close to Sakura, and he taught her the rituals of offering... In the end, Eriol couldn't escape blame for an ordinary ghost being able to capture an angel.

He couldn't help but glance at the Mazda next to him. What a beautiful Mazda! The words "Car, Arms" on it were really eye-catching!

"Eriol, can you beat him?" Takanashi Chinatsu immediately asked, pleading pitifully with her hands clasped together.

But Eriol isn't Gin; he won't unconditionally solve anything for Takanashi Chinatsu just because she's feigning helplessness.

"This is the trouble you caused, and you have to solve it yourselves." Elio took a step back. He was not afraid of angels. After all, in the world of magic, everything is just a kind of energy: magic is, superpowers are, ghosts are, and angels are too.

A powerful magician can, in a literal sense, defy the heavens.

But why did he help China resolve this matter?

The angel who made the mistake was not the human. The angel came to the human world to guide kind souls, but was beaten up countless times by a human and a ghost, and even developed anger and delusion. Now, he can't even go back to heaven.

The fault lies with China, and she must bear the consequences.

Takanashi Chinatsu looked anxious: "It's not that I don't want to solve it, but how can I solve it? You have to come up with a solution."

Elio didn't press him further, saying, "The angel is probably angry with you, hence the 'anger.' Once it calms down completely, it can take Sophie's soul back to Heaven."

How do I deflate it?

Elio shook his head; he didn't know.

But it all boils down to a sincere apology and coaxing it properly; how exactly to do it is up to Qiannai and the others to decide.

"It's all about making it happy, right? I suggest we take it for a race!" Kenji Hagiwara said excitedly, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

Elio remained silent. This won't do, will it?

Matsuda Jinpei's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "That's right, racing can stimulate a person's adrenaline, or more accurately, it's a thrill that can quickly excite people!"

"Really? Is it possible?" Takanashi Chinatsu asked, still somewhat doubtful.

Eriol placed his last hope on Takanashi Chinatsu. Yes, that's it. Doubt them, refute them, refute them fiercely!

Matsuda Jinpei asked confidently, "Chika, don't you believe me?"

“Since Matsuda-san said racing is okay, then it definitely is!” Takanashi Chinatsu immediately changed her attitude, looking expectantly as the man and the ghost “kidnapped” the angel into the car.

This is an apartment building, not a place for racing, but Gin has booked the entire building, so no matter what they do, no one will complain.

Kenji Hagiwara's eyes shone like two searchlights as he slammed on the gas pedal and drove off through the wide-open window.

"Wuhu—"

To avoid the danger of the car losing its support midway, Matsuda Jinpei did not get in the car, but he did cheer on Hagiwara Kenji.

"Charge, hagi!"

"Go! Go! Go!" As expected of the man known as the "God of Cars," Kenji Hagiwara, no one could tell where he got the power, and he started racing on the straight exterior wall of the building.

This is no ordinary ghost car. Because of the rhinoceros horn, the car is almost indistinguishable from a real Mazda. Its ability to climb the wall is purely due to Kenji Hagiwara's superb skills.

"Wow, so strong!" Takanashi Chinatsu's eyes widened in surprise.

Matsuda Jinpei was very proud and said, "As long as it's a car, there's no car he can't speed up."

Elio watched this farce with a worried expression, especially focusing on the angel on the car.

The car flew up, then landed.

The car started moving along the outer wall, then it drove into the corridor.

It's a razor blade overtaking maneuver!

The angel is emotionally stable.

The angel's mood remains stable.

The angel...it seems a bit dead.

"This is bad." Just as Elio was about to cast a spell, he saw that Kenji Hagiwara, who had been playing wildly, had finally driven the car back through the window and unbuckled his seatbelt to get out.

Kenji Hagiwara beamed with a bright smile, his tone light and cheerful: "How was it? My noble angel, wasn't racing fun? You can't be mad at me for showing you this!"

He looked at the angel happily.

The angel, however, did not seem happy.

It was still just a lump of flesh, without a face or expression, but Kenji Hagiwara could still sense that it wasn't happy.

"Didn't you have enough fun?" Kenji Hagiwara tried to take him for a few more laps.

"No!" Elio, who had originally wanted them to coax him and abandon him, couldn't ignore it anymore. He immediately opened the car door and used levitation magic to transfer the angel out of the car. The angel's wings were folded, and it was still a fleshy ball, but it seemed to have lost its elasticity.

Could he really be dead?

Eriol was extremely anxious and cast several healing spells in succession.

Finally, the angel seemed to be pulled back from hell. It trembled as it spread its wings, and half of the feathers on its wings fell off in an instant.
