The angel looked at him, confused. He didn't understand, why Akumarou, son of the King of Darkness, is so calm, sane and, he could even say, kind. He had a mindfuck, really.

"You can" replied the angel after a moment.

He didn't want to talk with Akumarou. But he was scared that Akumarou is gonna kill him for not answering his question.

"Why did you want to kill me?"

"Guardian angels kill demons, who arrived to Sacra" explained the angel. "We don't know, who is a demon, until we see the wings. Then we make a research about them and kill them, because we don't want to let them kill people."

"It's interesting, because humans more often kill each other. They don't need demons for being dead" said Shino. "Demons are immortal, right? Are angels immortal as well?"

"Yes, but we age to the age of thirty-three" answered the angel. "That's the only difference."

"When do you get wings?"

"When we save someone, risking our own life."

"Save someone..." repeated Shino. "Angels commit sins?"

"Yes" nodded angel. "We're not doing this often, but when we do, we're going to the Clearstar for a year. It's, hm... Some hospital for souls, I can say. But there are sins which we can't clear in Clearstar and we become fallen angels."

"Which sins?" asked Shino.

"It's "Codex of Three Sins" said the angel. "First: We can't kill a human or another angel. Second: Sex before marriage is forbidden. Third: We can't cheat on our spouse. I'd break even one of these rules, I'll lose my halo, my robe will become black and my flame will have violet colour."

"Interesting" said Shino. "I've never asked Akiyatsu or Amanoshi, but what happens with demons and angels after death? Is there something like the afterlife?"

"Yes. We are reincarnated as humans" explained the angel. "We have souls, everyone has a soul. Demons, angels, humans... But humans' souls are rare. Most of humans are reincarnated angels and demons. And after death, humans are sent to Angelsun or Hellmoon. There is something like Soul Disctrits in both of them."

"And every angel has this mark?" Shino grabbed the angel's right hand, where he saw a mark in the shape of a feather.

"Yes" nodded the angel. "And don't touch me, I..."

"You're still scared, right?" asked Shino.

"Of course" nodded the angel.

He just wanted to go home.

"Can I ask you about one more thing?" asked Shinohara.

"Yes."

"So, tell me you name, the guardian angel from Angelsun."

The angel looked at him with fear. He wanted to leave this one thing for himself. But he was afraid that if he didn't answer, he would say goodbye to this world in a moment, or rather stay here. And this is for several dozen years. And he wouldn't want that.

"Naokiyo Yamiyoru" he replied with trembling voice, thinking about why Akumarou even wants to know it.

"Melodic" Shino smiled a little. "Do you want some tea, Naokiyo-san?"

The angel nodded.

But when Shino had come back, he saw an empty bed and an open window.

"He ran away" whispered Shino, leaning on the wall. "Why is he so scared of me?"

Akumarou laid down on the bed and then he noticed something. The white feather was laying on the pillow. He took it in his two fingers.

"Yamiyoru" he repeated angel's name, looking at the feather in his hand. "This angel isn't a woman, so why..."
