Chapter Title: Side Story - The Pure Angel (4)
Living in harmony with nature.
That is the basic principle for all living beings. They adapt to the ever-changing environment, accept it, and carry on.
Gabriel, who lived in the Heaven Realm, had never understood what that meant. But today.
Finally.
Gabriel realized it.
"You're actually a good little guy."
The squirrel that had stolen her fruit. It was actually a good little guy. Just look at this adorable face.
She gave it a few fruits, and it immediately climbed right into her hand to nibble away.
Too cute. Was this what living in harmony with nature felt like?
Her entire body caked in dust, twigs and leaves plastered everywhere, the angel was savoring these small joys amid nature.
"Ah. This isn't the time for this!!"
Of course, happiness like this never lasts long.
"I'm hungry. Right, Gabriel Number Two?"
Instead of an answer, the squirrel reached out demanding fruit, so Gabriel handed some over and trudged onward.
Hunger.
Ever since falling into these mountains, it was a constant companion. So much so that she was starting to miss the utterly flavorless food from the Heaven Realm.
Food with not a hint of taste, eaten purely for survival.
She was that starved.
"Even the fruits are getting boring now. I want meat. I want fish."
But she had no skill for hunting. Here in these mountains, the capable Gabriel of the Heaven Realm was nowhere to be found.
All she could do was wander around picking up fruits—an utterly incompetent soul.
"But once I get down from here, things will work out somehow."
Of course they would.
Civilization awaited below. A brilliant civilization unlike these wild mountains, the kind she'd gazed down upon from the Heaven Realm.
"First, I'll eat my fill, regain my strength, and find Lee Seong-hoon."
And after finding him? She had no idea. But one thing was certain.
"I'll sock him with a punch full of all this resentment."
What came after that.... She had no clue!!
"First, I'll hit him— Huh?"
Gabriel, fist clenched tight, whipped her head around to look behind her. She'd felt something in that instant.
Something—but it was no aura she could forget.
The demonic energy of the devils she'd warred against endlessly long ago. She felt it, turned to look, and...
It was already gone.
"What was that. I'm so hungry, I'm sensing all sorts of weird stuff."
No way a devil could be in a place like this.
I mess up sometimes too. Gabriel scratched the back of her head and kept descending the mountain.
Of course—
"Where the hell is this place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She couldn't find the path.
To top it all off, even Gabriel Number Two had scarfed down the fruits and scampered off.
Abandoned by nature and by God alike, the angel wiped away her tears once more today.
"If he showed up right now, I'd even be happy to see Lee Seong-hoon."
Not that she really knew what he looked like.
Anyway.
"Seriously."
She was so hungry.
Tears she couldn't hold back trickled down her cheeks.
