Episode 141: An angel on a date (6)
Instead of being expressionless as usual, Yumari was greeting with a bright smile.
‘It’s a fake smile.’
However, the referee, who had been observing Yumari’s expression for a long time, could tell that the smile was fake.
Just a smile like a mask. In fact, when Yumari smiled like this, there were many times when she wasn’t in a good mood.
And Soya felt the same way.
Looking at the wind angel staring intently at Yumari, Soya muttered this without hiding his annoyance.
“It’s been a while, I saw you last week too.”
“Ahaha, if I see you every day and haven’t seen you in a week, wouldn’t it be a long time?”
Marie still seems to be in a good mood. The referee knew full well that she was just acting.
‘Even the horns are a little bigger. It means you’re emotionally disturbed.’
What is there to be emotionally upset about? Yumari was an icy girl who was unfazed by bullying from student council president Yoo Si-hyeon under the guise of interest, as well as contempt and discrimination within her family.
But you are agitated.
As a guardian angel, the referee had no choice but to ask.
“What’s going on?”
“… “No, there isn’t.”
Marie shook her head and then asked again.
“Still, we met like this, where should we go for coffee?”
“I don’t have time.”
Soya walked out of the department store while holding the referee’s sleeve. Marie’s mask cracks at that moment.
Marie’s smile disappeared as if alcohol evaporated, and her horns grew slightly larger, creating an intimidating atmosphere.
And the cold expression that is revealed.
“Referee, I have something to tell you.”
Yumari held on to the hand of the referee who was being dragged away. It was only then that Soya realized the situation when the referee did not obey.
“Ugh… … .”
As the referee was dragged by the half-dragon’s power, Soya grabbed the referee’s hand and dragged him as if he could not lose.
“Hey, guys?”
The referee, who had become the rope of tug-of-war, looked at the two girls in confusion.
“This is a really important story. “I need time.”
Yumari asks with a stern expression.
“Referee, this is your reward today. Don’t you remember? “This time has nothing to do with Yumari!”
A cow grunts and pulls the referee away.
The referee, caught in the middle, was confused and couldn’t decide what to do, and eventually let go of Yumari’s hand.
“I’m sorry, Marie. “I made a promise with Soya today.”
“… it’s okay. “It’s not something to talk about in an open setting like this, but given the situation, I can’t help it.”
Yumari smiled again.
However, the size of the horns still remained the same.
“Then call or text me later! Are you from the Joseon Dynasty? Do we really have to meet and talk? Oh, Seocheon Yu is like the daughter of the head family, so I can’t use something like that?”
Soya can’t hide her joy when the referee shakes off Yumari’s hand. However, she suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to rise and barely pretended to be angry.
“It was because it was urgent. “Miss Marie, I’m sorry.”
In an instant, Marie’s eyebrows lowered and her shoulders slumped.
Mari looks at Soya and looks truly sorry. Soya, who saw that expression, said, ‘… ‘Be careful next time,’ she said, taking a step back.
Of course, only the referee would know that this apology contained no emotion.
“Can I ask for a soundproof barrier?”
“… “What the hell is going on?”
While Soya grunted, she created a small soundproof barrier with just a few hand gestures.
“Referee, what happened with Rainmaker?”
“… Rainmaker. Oh, there was a little problem, but it went over well.”
It happened just a moment ago.
It wasn’t much of a problem.
I thought it worked out somehow.
What the referee was curious about was how Marie, who was not in the room, knew what had just happened.
“It wasn’t just a problem. “You absolved him of his sins and taught him how to be saved.”
“… “Oh, how do you do that?”
“Referee, you should know that there are more than one eye watching you. “You are the only angel left on earth.”
Marie bit her lip and wiped her face.
And muttered.
“It’s so pure. After all, I have to protect it.”
No one was paying attention to the words the girl mumbled.
Fortunately, indeed.
“… Yes, I did. “I gave that person a chance.”
“It shouldn’t have been done that way.”
“why?”
Yumari looked at the referee again. That innocent expression that says you don’t know anything. Faith and charity were felt in the green eyes, and sympathy for the world was felt in the nose and lips.
‘I want to touch it. No, I want it. I want to make it mine.’
Yumari felt the dragon’s nature writhing within her and intuitively realized how different she was from the referee.
If you are a predator, the referee is not a predator. He is just a person who only knows how to give but does not know how to reap.
Yumari knew one such person.

‘Why does a sleeping child look like an angel? … .’
A voice I missed came to mind.
Her fists clenched, and Yumari’s hands turned white.
“As the referee knows, there are many sinners in this world.”
Including yourself.
There are a lot of sinners in this world.
“There are plenty of people who have committed truly terrible crimes and are still happily planning to commit them.”
“I know. but… … .”
“Some of those sinners… Instead of receiving legal justice, they use their incredible power and wealth to legally eliminate the victims.”
Yumari spoke calmly.
“They are not afraid of anything except one thing. What if you were driving drunk and hit a family in broad daylight? Stop bribing the media and covering up the facts. Is there someone you don’t like? Just send the superhuman thugs to deal with it and that’s enough.”
He spoke about sin calmly and without any change in tone. Soya, who was quietly listening to this story from the side, was secretly hiding behind the referee’s shoulder due to the faint feeling of Yumari’s madness.
“Is there anyone who wants to protect justice? Stop trashing him through corrupt law enforcers. And if she likes someone of the opposite sex, she threatens him and makes him her concubine… … .”
“I know. “I know!”
Tears welled up in the referee’s eyes.
Yumari was a little shaken by those tears.
“I know how corrupt this world has become.”
Memories that come to mind in an instant. Memories of the cold floor that I could never escape from. In that dark sofa, the only light was along the lines. But what flows along that line is… … .
A red, cruel light illuminates the world. With the sadness that I feel like I will never be able to sleep.
“I know. but… … .”
“sorry. “I forgot the referee knew about this.”
Yumari gently wipes the referee’s tears. The girl with her horns continued her words again.
“They are not afraid of anything. “Except for the judgment after death.”
“… Referee?”
“Yes, the more corrupt those in power are, the more they know the truth of this world. That the heaven spoken of in religion actually exists. And that heaven has so much power that it restricts superhumans through a system called the status window.”
Yumari said.
“And a being who will judge such unforgivable sinners. That the angel of judgment exists. “They know this very well.”
Angel of Judgment.
The referee knew of its existence.
“The crimes they committed are beyond imagination. Really. How much would such beings fear heavenly judgment? But at this point, an angel with the right to forgive has come down?”
“… I see.”
The referee finally
I realized what Yumari was talking about.
“As much as you fear judgment, you must seek forgiveness through me.”
“To be precise, they are probably trying to buy indulgence. Or try to get it by threatening. Deals and threats are not the only way to fulfill demands from an intelligent being… … .”
Marie’s creepy hint.
The referee swallowed his saliva and asked again.
“Then what should I do?”
“You have no choice but to be more careful from now on. Someone will try to seduce the referee, and someone will try to scare the referee… … .”
Yumari whispered into the referee’s ear.
“Still, I will protect you.”
“no it’s not. I will protect the referee. “As friends!”
Soya grabs the referee again.
The referee was obediently led by the girl’s hand and muttered as he looked at Marie.
“… thank you.”
“No, it was natural.”
A beautiful girl with long black hair who reminds me of the transparent moon politely greets me.
“Then I’ll see you next time. Referee, Miss Soya.”
“joy.”
“Okay, see you later.”
So Yumari left.
Watching the girl leave,
The referee couldn’t help but think.
‘All humans are descendants of murderers.’
Reminds me of the theology professor and Saint Rebecca’s class.
‘Humans are the closest creatures to the devil.’
The next thing that came to mind was the sophistry of the abominable devil.
‘Humans are really ugly creatures. If it disappears, this world will become more beautiful.’
I remembered the cry shouted by the fallen Rainmaker in the now-vanished future.
Why did they say that?
Words that should not be understood.
However, it is a word that is only vaguely understood.
The referee’s hands were shaking.
Even though I was still awake, it felt like I was in a nightmare.
A loneliness so deep,
It was wrapping around the referee’s shoulder.
The dance of the white fingers caught the referee’s attention.
Hesitantly – hesitantly.
Secretly, slightly, little by little,
The white fingers of a girl approaching without knowing what to do.
In the end, those fingers touched the referee’s fingers, then they nudged each other, pressed their palms together, and hugged each other.
When the referee looked up, he could see Soya’s cheeks turning red.
“This, this… Since my friend is sad, on a consolation level… So, there may not be much selfish interest… … .”
“thank you.”
I knew it was a difficult world. A world where not being born might be salvation.
The referee still survives.
Because there are young warriors who need to be protected.
“Ha, it’s a dangerous life anyway, no, it’s heaven. “The Demon Lord is still fine, and like Mari said, there are a lot of bad guys in this world.”
The referee spoke in an excited voice.
“But let’s have fun today!”
“Good, good.”
Seeing the referee with renewed vitality, Soya glanced at the notebook he had been secretly hiding.
“Okay, so the plan is… … .”
“plan?”
“So there is no plan. But if you just trust and follow my genius intellect… … .”
Soya laughed bitterly.
Of course, my cheeks were still red.
The other fingers were still twitching, as if they were embarrassed. Despite her outward appearance, which made her seem like a woman of mysterious spirit, her actions still made her look very young.
“Then it will be okay, Referee. This woman… Just trust your friends and follow them.”
“huh?”
“Don’t grab the pod. Now, follow me!”
After all these twists and turns, the referee and Soya were able to move on to their next date location.
