"How did you know Queen Keisha wanted me to be your guardian angel!?"
Angel Leng's eyes widened in shock. Jaeger actually knew about Queen Keisha's order.
Even within the City of Angels, only Queen Keisha and Queen Tianji were aware that she was being assigned as Jaeger's guardian angel. Not even Angel Yan or Angel Zhixin knew!
"How do I know… ah."
Jaeger chuckled, his gaze falling on the angel who had broken free from his arms.
"The treasure house of sacred knowledge analyzes the most suitable match for each angel. Once you get to know me, there's no one in this world more worthy of protecting than me."
"Ah… this…"
Angel Leng stared blankly at him, speechless. "Unbelievable… this is the first time I've met a man even more narcissistic than our angels."
"After all, His Highness Jaeger—who embodies the concept of beauty—has such overwhelming strength. Wouldn't it be abnormal if he wasn't narcissistic?"
Uchiha Miyuki stuck her tongue out playfully and turned curiously to Angel Leng.
"Leng-san, how many angels did Queen Keisha's treasure house of sacred knowledge assign to His Highness Jaeger? You can't be the only one, right?"
"Eh? I should be the only one, right? Angels usually work one-on-one."
Angel Leng stretched lazily after recovering her strength, but Miyuki's words froze her mid-motion. She frowned slightly before answering with uncertainty.
"At least, Queen Keisha only mentioned me becoming Mr. Jaeger's guardian angel. She never said anything about others. Besides, other angels don't have access to the chat group, so they wouldn't be able to meet him anyway."
"Can't meet him, huh…?"
Miyuki smiled mysteriously, her eyes glinting as if she already had an idea.
As a Reincarnator, even she couldn't deny her own thoughts about the beautiful angels of Angel Civilization.
And if she was tempted, what about Jaeger—a Celestial Dragon with an even worse personality? Queen Keisha, with her treasure house of sacred knowledge, surely would have accounted for this.
Miyuki strongly suspected that the guardian angel assigned to Jaeger wasn't just Angel Leng. At least two or three, maybe even more!
What Miyuki didn't realize was that she was already on the mark.
Jaeger's value in Keisha and Hexi's eyes far surpassed what Angel Leng imagined. Angel Zhixin and Angel Yan's genetic pairings had already been disrupted.
Both were practically destined to become Jaeger's guardian angels in the future—and the number would only increase.
Suddenly, Angel Leng stepped forward, her hand shooting up to grab Jaeger's collar.
Her speed was blinding. No one present—except Jaeger himself—could even react. This was the power of an Overlord Angel of the super god world.
Even without the treasure house of sacred knowledge, as long as her energy reserves were sufficient, her combat power was still terrifying.
"Mr. Jaeger!?"
Kushina and Nohara Rin gasped in alarm, thinking Angel Leng was angry and attacking.
They immediately rushed to intervene but Uchiha Miyuki and Kasumigaoka Utaha stepped in front of them.
"Relax. It's not that our dear World Noble can't dodge. He just doesn't want to."
Utaha casually draped an arm around Kushina's shoulder, her voice tinged with jealousy.
"I was ordered by my elders to go on this blind date and nurture feelings. You two little girls shouldn't interfere."
"Blind date… nurture feelings?"
Kushina and Rin both froze. Angel Leng was tugging Jaeger's collar like she was about to start a fight, yet Utaha called it a "blind date." Was this really how another world people operated?
Meanwhile, Angel Leng yanked his collar harder, forcing Jaeger to lower his head. Then, without hesitation, she leaned in and bit him.
"…Huh?"
Jaeger blinked in surprise. The act was so familiar. It reminded him of another queen with an equally domineering personality. She, too, had once forced him like this.
"Tch. I don't feel anything. Figures… the strange sensation earlier was just from the energy transfer."
Angel Leng released him, wiping the corner of her mouth with disdain.
"Didn't the chat group say you'd fought countless battles? Thousands of them? Why does the experience you gave me feel so… disappointing?"
"…Disappointing?"
Jaeger's brow twitched. His dignity as a man was clearly being challenged.
Leng smirked and continued provoking him.
"What, do you want to prove your majesty as a man? Or maybe you'll try to seduce me with your 'God of Beauty' Noble Phantasm? I heard it's supposed to be very powerful."
"You sure?" Jaeger asked playfully.
"Of course."
Angel Leng crossed her arms, smiling confidently. "I've been Queen Keisha's guardian for tens of thousands of years. I've fought in thousands of interstellar wars. I won't fall for a man like you so easily."
"…Alright then. I get it."
Jaeger's smile deepened. He had seen through her thoughts. Reaching out, he tilted her chin up—just as she had done to him earlier. This time, she didn't resist.
Now, only a finger's width separated them. Their breaths mingled in the air between them.
"W-What are they doing now…?"
Nohara Rin clenched her fists, muttering enviously. "I'm so jealous of that blondie. When Mr. Jaeger and I were close, I nearly fainted. I barely remember it…"
"This isn't flirting—it's combat."
Unlike the innocent Rin, Miyuki's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Two people with dominant personalities have to decide who's on top. It's a battle over family status. No one must interfere!"
"…Decide who's on top?"
Kushina and Rin both turned bright red. Even ninja children matured early; they weren't strangers to battlefield blood or young love. Hearing this, their hearts raced as they watched.
"People from another world… they really know how to play…"
"Then let's begin."
Angel Leng tilted her head back, her voice firm yet eager. "I still have missions to complete later. Investigating intelligence across worlds is what Queen Keisha entrusted me with!"
"Alright then… let's begin."
Jaeger's grin turned sinister. "But I doubt you'll have the energy left to investigate the Naruto world afterward."
The moment the words fell, his entire presence shifted.
An indescribable, awe-inspiring charm surged from his body, far surpassing what he had shown to Miyuki and the others earlier.
His right pupil's sun pattern glowed with golden brilliance, shrouding him in an unfathomable mystery.
At this moment, Jaeger wasn't the incarnation of Aphrodite—he had surpassed the goddess of love and beauty entirely.
He was the concept of beauty itself.
A beauty beyond mortals, gods, or planets. If gods embodied concepts, then Jaeger now was the very perfection of beauty incarnate.
If magi from the Type-Moon world were here, they would fall into madness on sight. They would gladly sacrifice wives, daughters, and lives themselves—because this was the root of beauty. The ultimate truth.
"…Beautiful…"
Even without looking directly at him, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Uchiha Miyuki, Uzumaki Kushina, and Nohara Rin all lost themselves in the overwhelming concept of beauty radiating from him.
Even Angel Leng, hardened by tens of thousands of years of battle, could only resist for a few seconds.
Then, her knees buckled, and she sank at Jaeger's feet.
"If you still had access to Keisha's treasure house of sacred knowledge, perhaps you could resist a while longer. Unfortunately… there are no ifs in this world. Only reality."
Jaeger muttered softly as he looked down at Angel Leng, who knelt before him like a devotee ready to serve her god.
With a thought, the overwhelming aura of beauty dissipated, and he once again appeared as nothing more than a strikingly handsome young man.
"Eh…?"
Angel Leng was the first to regain her clarity. Strangely, she wasn't angry at having been bewitched. Instead, still kneeling, she looked up at him with disappointment.
"You just withdrew like that? I feel… empty. Depressed, even. Couldn't you let me bask in it a little longer?"
Jaeger chuckled, shaking his head. "Don't worry. There'll be plenty of chances in the future. You'll have all the time you want to look."
"Mr. Jaeger! No!"
Finally snapping out of it, Kushina and Nohara Rin cried out in desperation. Their strength and will had been too fragile to resist, leaving them the most shaken. Tears ran down their cheeks, despair flickering in their eyes.
If one has never seen the light, one can endure the dark.
But once you've witnessed absolute beauty, the rest of the world looks unbearably ugly. How does one go on living after that?
"Unbelievable…"
Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone was subdued as well, though she recovered faster. Among those present, she knew Jaeger the best, so the impact was softer. She forced herself to smirk darkly.
"If our World Noble worked in Kabukichō as a host, every woman in Japan would go insane for him....hell screw that, not just Japan but the whole world. He'd cuckold the entire male population overnight."
"Don't even joke about that!"
Uchiha Miyuki didn't care about Japanese men. With tears still glimmering in her eyes, she shouted, "With that level of beauty, wouldn't His Highness Jaeger basically be a succubus in human form? Every anime girl would fall instantly! How am I supposed to compete!?"
"…."
Utaha's smile stiffened. She turned to glare at her idiot kouhai.
"Give it up. Even if he's not a succubus, you have no chance. In front of him, a Celestial Dragon with a rotten personality, you should count yourself lucky just to survive. Your best friend Kushina is proof enough."
"Ah, this… Senpai, your words are too cruel! I'm not that fragile!"
Miyuki's bravado faltered as she looked at her best friend and Nohara Rin—both still dazed and lovestruck. Hopelessness washed over her.
Why, of all things, did she encounter Jaeger, a fellow Reincarnator who completely overshadowed her? Was she… just another candidate in his ever-expanding harem?
Angel Leng, now regaining her composure, stood up with a complicated look. "Those two little girls are hopelessly infatuated with you. Aren't you going to comfort them?"
"It's not necessary." Jaeger shook his head, voice calm. "They're just struggling with the withdrawal. They'll recover in time."
"…If you say so."
Angel Leng nodded, though she fell silent, conflicted.
"What is it? Regretting your defeat?" Jaeger's smirk returned, his voice teasing. "You knelt at my feet. You were bewitched. Don't tell me Queen Keisha's proud guardian angel is the type to break her word? Or are angels only brave when the wind is at their back—"
"Enough!"
Angel Leng's voice rang out, firm and loud. "I will not betray Queen Keisha's command. And yes—I did lose to you. I will never deny it!"
Then, without hesitation, she dropped to one knee, pressing a hand over her heart.
Before everyone present, without caring about their stares, she raised her voice in a solemn oath—like a wedding vow.
"My name is Leng. I swear to be your guardian angel. I will love what you love, think as you think, shoulder your burdens, and endure your suffering."
"Whether in poverty or wealth, in humility or nobility, in chaos or even if the gods themselves abandon you...I will draw my sword for you, fold my wings for you, and never leave you. Until forever."
The vow hung in the air with the weight of eternity.
Then she rose sharply, seized Jaeger's collar again, and just as before—forced his head down toward her.
"…That's practically a marriage vow."
Kasumigaoka Utaha scowled in jealousy, elbowing Miyuki. "Hey, slut. You know what that means, don't you?"
"Of course I do, senpai."
Miyuki's voice trembled with envy as she explained. "An angel can only ever protect one man in their entire life. Once they swear the oath, it means giving everything to him."
"No matter how much of a scumbag he is… even if he dies and turns to dust… the angel will never abandon him."
"…So they're basically a feudal-era bride race? And she claims to be an overlord of the universe?"
Utaha sighed. Still, she knew how powerful such an oath must feel to a man. And judging from Jaeger's smug expression, he was enjoying every second of it.
Then, to everyone's surprise, Jaeger suddenly swept Angel Leng into a princess carry. With one hand, he traced glowing runes through the air, weaving an ultra-compact reality marble around them. Both vanished instantly.
A moment later, a message appeared in the chat group.
Jaeger: "Leng and I have some work to do. You two comfort Kushina and Rin for now. They'll be depressed until they get over it."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Eh!? Seriously? Konoha is in shambles, and Your Highness is off having a lovers' retreat with Leng-san!?"
Angel Leng: "…Sorry. I was forced."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Hmph. Ridiculous world noble. Not that I'm surprised. …By the way, was that really an reality marble? Runes can be used like that?"
Scáthach: "Jaeger used rune characters to form an reality marble?"
Jaeger: "Just a simple imitation. Not a true reality marble. I do have two of the real thing."
Luo Hao: "Eh!? You have two!? One was that 'I Am the Lord of Life and Death' you used against me. What's the other one? I've never heard of it!"
Jibril: "Nor have I. The announcements have no record of a second barrier."
Jaeger: "It's a newly acquired one. Not fully perfected yet. Once it's complete, I'll show you."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Fine… poor people of Konoha, you'll just have to wait for me to save you."
Esdeath: "Hah! If you really cared about Konoha, you wouldn't have run away earlier."
Yamamoto Mei: "Agreed."
Uchiha Miyuki: "Ah… well… at least I care about Mikoto and Izumi! Anyway, senpai, please comfort those two poor girls first. I'll head into Konoha and report back!"
