"Angel, what are you doing! Everyone else is still here!"
Himeno also didn't know why Angel was suddenly acting so crazy today.
This was so uncharacteristic.
Normally, she would maintain her distance because she didn't want to have contact with others.
But today, she seemed to want to reduce that distance to negative.
Akira also didn't understand why Angel suddenly became like this.
Logically speaking, this level of stimulation shouldn't be enough to make a target character enter such a crazy state.
But what's wrong with it?
He wasn't at a disadvantage anyway.
"No! How could this happen?"
Angel couldn't believe it.
She actually couldn't obtain any time from Akira.
In other words…
for so many years, he was the first person she could touch without restraint.
Wait!
Angel looked at Akira's handsome face.
A somewhat gentle lip line came into view on the chiseled contours.
No!
It's too early to conclude.
"Angel, you…"
Mm~!
"Ah~!"
Fubuki's face flushed, and she immediately turned her head away.
What were these two doing? Did they really have to go that far?
Himeno was also stunned.
She hadn't expected Angel, who usually preferred to cut off ties with the outside world, to be so proactive.
Damn it, she never knew Angel was so open before!
In contrast, Saeko Busujima and Kitagawa Marin were much calmer.
They probably already guessed that Angel would soon become one of them.
No!
Still no.
Even so, time still wouldn't be absorbed by her.
She had tried very hard to absorb it.
But!
A wave of ecstasy surged in Angel's heart.
Finally, someone.
Finally, someone could touch her normally.
Only!
Only that place was left.
If that place also didn't work, then she would marry him!
Angel was a kind devil.
She was afraid of hurting others.
So she didn't interact with people at all.
But as long as she went out, various accidents would always occur—
grabbing someone to save them,
a child's curiosity touching her wings,
blocking bullets for teammates, even in relatively narrow alleys.
Her accumulated time grew more and more.
The guilt in her heart became heavier and heavier.
She longed for human contact.
But contact would only harm people.
And now, with someone who could have normal contact with her appearing, how could she not be ecstatic—almost insane?
She just wanted an answer now.
That last place—
would that last untouched key point be as she wished?
No, I can't wait any longer.
I need to get the answer now.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Angel, as if possessed, trying to unbuckle Akira's belt.
"Angel, what are you doing!"
Even as a partner, Himeno couldn't indulge her any further.
"Fubuki, help! Blow Angel away—she's gone crazy!"
Fubuki used Psychokinesis, and an invisible energy surged toward Akira and Angel, exploding between them.
Angel, completely unprepared, naturally flew backward.
But after getting up, she immediately rushed toward Akira, disregarding her image.
Fortunately, Fubuki used Psychokinesis to control her.
"Let go of me, let go of me—there's only one last step, only one last step left."
Indeed, there was only one last step left, and if this step succeeded, it would break through the boundaries of a male-female relationship.
"Angel, calm down. What's wrong with you? Why are you so… madly infatuated with my master?"
Himeno didn't understand and could only try to reason with her from the side.
"Akira is special!"
Pinned in the air, Angel became a little more cooperative. "He can have normal contact with me."
"So, I want to try and see what the problem is!"
Hearing Angel's words, Akira understood a little.
He had the system protecting him; Angel couldn't absorb his life.
"Ah?"
Himeno held her forehead, her eyes wide. "You mean—my master won't have his time absorbed by your touch?"
In an instant, everyone understood.
"Mm-hmm. There's still one last point."
"There's still one last point, and then I can confirm whether Akira is the one."
Having spent so much time with Angel, Himeno deeply understood Angel's pain.
Himeno completely understood her reaction.
"But this is a public place. Even if my master doesn't refuse, you should at least consider the setting, hey!"
Fubuki was a bit speechless.
What kind of bizarre situation was this?
Akira looked dazed (acting), not knowing what to say.
Saeko Busujima and Kitagawa Marin exchanged glances, slightly surprised.
This was a plot development they had not anticipated at all.
"Angel, don't rush. Let's finish dealing with things first."
Just then, alarm bells sounded, approaching from a distance, and logistical personnel from the relevant departments entered the scene, beginning to rescue the people around.
Angel also regained some sanity, and her breathing calmed down.
"I'm sorry. I was too excited and scared everyone."
Seeing the commotion subside, Fubuki released Angel.
"Master, I'll go help with the rescue first. As for training, I'll be there on time next Monday."
"Okay. Go get busy."
After saying goodbye, Fubuki quickly left.
The Fubuki Group suffered heavy losses in this mission.
Recalling her high spirits before the operation, she now only hoped that more of her comrades would survive.
"What about you?"
Akira looked at Himeno.
"Us? Never mind. I'll go back and write the report. Angel, you can stay with Master."
With that, Himeno leaned close to Akira's ear. "Master, Angel is actually an Angel Devil, but she's on the side of humanity. From now on, you'll have to figure it out."
Winking playfully, Himeno also left the rooftop.
Kitagawa Marin couldn't help but say, "What a pity—I didn't even get a chance to act."
Akira patted her head. "You're a trump card—a secret weapon. You can't be revealed easily."
"Hehehe! Akira, praise me more."
Kitagawa Marin scratched her head, a smile gradually blooming on her face.
"Welcome, Angel."
A somewhat gentle lip line came into view on the chiseled contours.
No!
It's too early to conclude.
"Angel, you…"
Mm~!
"Ah~!"
Fubuki's face flushed, and she immediately turned her head away.

"Hehehe! Akira, praise me more."
Kitagawa Marin scratched her head, a smile gradually blooming on her face.
"Welcome, Angel."
One button came undone.
Akira's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
"Akira, it's not just me who needs to check you."
"You also need to check me."
"I don't want any oversight, no matter how small, to lead to failure."
Angel's words were sincere and generous.
Her wings spread.
The halo above her head glowed faintly.
This scene was truly impressive.
"Don't worry, I'll check carefully."
With the system, Akira wasn't afraid of being taken down by a mere Angel or little devil.
He followed Angel's words and explored meticulously.
Especially certain nooks and crannies—
places he normally wouldn't touch at all.
Finally, the entire ritual reached its last step.
Angel was a little excited. "Akira, if it's true, you're the only person I can naturally touch."
"Then let's live together from now on."
"That's fine, but I currently live at home."
"Just agree."
The two drew closer and closer.
Finally—
Mmm!
[Character: Angel (Angel Devil)
[Potential: SS]
[Loyalty: 75]
[Strength: 8.7]
[Agility: 8.8]
[Endurance: 8.8]
[Skill: Time Forging]
[Evolution Progress: 1%... Charging]
[Status: Training]
Angel frowned.
But in an instant, it was replaced by immense joy.
"It's fine!"
"Akira."
"It's fine."
She jumped up and down with happiness.
Completely ignoring the displeasure on her brow.
Then she suddenly leaned close to Akira's face.
Mmm~!
She was too excited—she didn't know how to express it in words.
So she poured all her emotions into action.
For Angel,
everything happening now was what she had always dreamed of.
Finally, there was someone who could touch her normally.
She finally didn't have to be alone anymore.
"Wuwuwu!"
Angel cried tears of joy.
Was this the depth of connection between people?
This was just too… "Mmm~!"
Akira was a little overwhelmed by Angel.
Although his basic Trainer skills had already reached LV3,
it couldn't start like this.
Although Angel's base stats were indeed eight times stronger than ordinary people,
he was no ordinary person.
He was a Trainer.
"Akira, it's strange."
Angel's wings retracted, no longer having that initial recklessness and fearlessness.
Akira laughed heartily. "It's right to be strange."
"Your method should be like this."
"Relax a little—let me guide you."
Angel relaxed her tense muscles.
"Mm-hmm."
The door opened.
Kitagawa Marin, dressed in a little devil outfit, flew out from the door.
The contrasting wing colors with Angel instantly drew Akira's attention.
Her small black wings fluttered.
The heart-shaped little devil tail playfully changed its form.
"Akira, let this genius little devil help you."
Kitagawa Marin began to cast a spell.
She circled her fingers, chanting an incantation.
Then she pointed at the two of them, and a crimson mist hit Angel.
Angel suddenly felt a pang in her heart, as if a piece was missing.
She needed Akira to complete it.
So she became frantic again.
Kitagawa Marin covered her mouth, crossed her legs, and lay suspended in mid-air.
"This magic amplifies a person's desires."
"Young warrior, do you feel its power?"
"Hehehe, experience the suffering well."
Akira had played this game and remembered it clearly.
This was the plot in the game where the little devil was "counter-killed" by the warrior.
The lines were identical.
Now, spoken by Kitagawa Marin, it added a touch more mischievousness.
And her unsuspecting state, like a little devil, laid the groundwork for being "counter-killed" by the "warrior" later.
For the first training session, even with Angel, Akira didn't push the training intensity to the maximum.
When the progress reached 60%,
Akira had already taken out the Master Ball.
The purple orb was full of mystery, only taken out once when Akira first obtained it.
And this time, it was finally time for it to be used.
"Akira, why are you looking at me like that?"
"You're beautiful."
Angel's face showed a joyful smile. "Akira is also very handsome."
"I know. No matter what happens later, don't resist."
Angel, thinking Akira was about to start the second round, smiled and nodded.
Then Akira took out a Master Ball and gently threw it at Angel's wing.
A purple stream of light instantly hit her, pulling her into the Master Ball.
I almost forgot.
The Master Ball is a special ball that guarantees capture for affection levels above 75.
There was no breathing light at all.
The moment the Master Ball captured Angel,
an incredibly powerful force exploded within Akira's body.
