(POV-Rafael)
I was travelling with Amaterasu-sama and Takeru-dono when I was contacted by Shira-sama. Takeru-dono said we are going to Greek Pantheon's Olympus to meet Lord Zeus.
"I'm really sorry about your grand daughter, Lady Amaterasu."(Rafael)
Amaterasu-sama smiles and shook her head with reassurance.
"It's fine. My kin is alive and it was already in the past."(Amaterasu)
Seeing her soft gentle smile reminds me of her two great grandchildren who smiles at me.
"You truly are their relative."(Rafael)
"Ara(A/N: My)? If it is the past you, you will deny that notion. Gods and devil kings being relatives... You'll laughed at it. You have really changed. Your eyes which once saw only what's in front now sees what lies beyond. It might be because you lost your authorities that you reached this heights? After all, abandoning what you had might lead ones to greater enlightenment."(Amaterasu)
I smile dryly. Even the meaningful words coming from their mouth and the long speech they does each time they teach or analyze... Truly the same.
"Might be. I truly have to thank you three for my growth."(Rafael)
We quietly head to Olympus.
=======
"Amaterasu, Takeru, Rafael, welcome to my humble abode. Still, as expected of that boy. He is better than me. Even if it comes to women. Hahaha!!"(Zeus)
The god in front of us laughed heartily.
"Takeru, take care of the future holder at all cost."(Zeus)
He put his hand on Takeru-dono's shoulder. His carefree expression and frivolous eyes changed to serious expression and stern eyes. His aura is filled with dignity and grace incomparable to his aura before. So this is the chief deity of greek mythology...
"Rafael, your brothers and sisters are here. 48, 000 angel along with archangel Jibril."(Zeus)
"As their brother, thank you very much for take them in."(Rafael)
Afterwards, he made Lord Hermes lead me to where they are. I found Jibril lying under the shade of a tree, staring blankly beyond the horizon. I approach her.
"Hello nii-san. I feel that your divinity of wisdom and storm were taken and your status as archangel was lost. Did you become a subordinate god? Because this won't happen unless you did become a devil king's subordinate."(Jibril)
She said without looking at me despite feeling my presence.
"Indeed, you're right. It has been a while, no. It's nice to meet you Jibril. You guessed my situation very well. Though I left my divinity of healing at heaven."(Rafael)
This time, she turned around her head just to look at me. Her face is dyed with shock.
"Is that really you?! You talked like a mortal!"(Jibril)
I smile wryly.
"I met someone wiser than me."(Rafael)
Her shock multiplied.
"Your master?"(Jibril)
"No. My master is indeed intelligent in terms of vastness of knowledge. But her brother is the one I'm pertaining about."(Rafael)
"So your master is a she. What about her brother?"(Jibril)
"When he talked to me, I feel like talking to Father. He even preached me for being unreliable son. I really learn a lot of things on my stay."(Rafael)
I noticed that she is staring at me with a smile.
"Have you seen your face? You looked like Father after He made everything."(Jibril)
I unconsciously looked touched my face.
"...Did I really?"(Rafael)
I still stare at her with half-doubt. She nodded in affirmation.
"What a truly interesting race, human is. To bring you this much change. To grant growth even to beings (gods) that don't even have that. I see... so this is their infinite possibilities. This is what Father saw in them."(Jibril)
She said the same words I said before.
"You lost your wisdom authority that's why, no. Even you have that or not, the you now at this moment is more wiser. Might even as wise as Father. the way you talked... my perception tells me that much."(Jibril)
We looked at the horizon again.
"Hey, Rafael. Tell me. Why did He die? Why did our two ani-ue joined up to kill Aunt and Father?! we just want to live in peace! Those bastards killed Father!! Why, why am I feeling so miserable..."(Jibril)
I repeated the words of rebuke Shin-sama said to me. She put a brave smile while shedding tears. Seeing she manage to get back her will, I sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness. He also said that to me. He said that if we lived on carrying his memories, and will, Father will not die."(Rafael)
"Thanks, Rafael."(Jibril)
"I should be the one thanking you. Shin-sama was right. Even a small conversation like this can give me so much wisdom."(Rafael)
She finally stopped crying and smiles refreshingly with a laughed.
"If you call our emotional conversation a small talk, that means you still have much more to learn!"(Jibril)
I smile wryly realizing what she meant. Right, this kind of conversation is actually serious for all people...
"Lady Jibril, Lord Rafael, esteemed father is requesting for your presence. We have a very important guest that you have to see at all cost."(Hermes)
Seeing his solemn expression, I can't help but get a bad premonition...
