Volume 2 Chapter 15 Mermel’s Egg

“Whhhhaaa—tatatatatatata! This is the last one!”

Pop pop pop!

In the office of the heavenly realm, standing on the faintly glowing white cloud-like ground, the highest-ranking official, Mermel, was enthusiastically and energetically stamping documents.

You can’t help but wonder if that’s really okay, but rest assured.

The elite little angel, who relied on her intuition, had recruited excellent subordinate angels who thoroughly reviewed and forwarded the information. So, generally, just skimming through and stamping the documents without much thought worked for most cases.

However, exceptions to this rule exist.

What do they do in such situations?

“Oh, this one, this one, and this one. These seem a bit suspicious and need to be watched closely. My intuition tells me they need a bit more adjustment…”

Yes, as long as there is an elite angel who solves everything with mysterious luck and super intuition, there are no problems. In fact, for anything that could be reasoned through, her excellent little subordinates handled it all, leaving Mermel’s main job to be her intuitive flashes.

It’s practically Mermel’s invincibility. This was the ultimate position crafted after the Magic God Oldemir spent a year pondering how to maximize this little angel’s unique characteristics.

According to the Magic God:

Unlike in the past, when she had to rack her brain with difficult calculations, now she only needed to judge whether she was satisfied with the documents’ results or not. It was a job perfectly suited for this angel.

And as the secretary angel, a subordinate, reviewed the rejected documents, she nodded approvingly.

“Hmm, I see. When you review things knowing there’s always an element of uncertainty, you do notice the flaws. As always, your judgment is impressive, Chief Angel Mermel. I feel quite proud to be your secretary.”

“FWHOOOO!”

“Hehehe… that’s good to hear.”

Moreover, this secretary angel isn’t just smart; he also seems to understand the mysterious Mermel’s language. The “FWHOOOO!” uttered at this moment is so enigmatic that even the Magic God Oldemir has made it a subject of study, yet this capable angel comprehends it.

Well, of course. Because he is…

“Well, today’s work is done. Leave the rest to me and go take care of the egg you’ve been looking forward to.”

“Fwa? Is that okay? Won’t that increase your workload?”

“Of course, it’s fine. Who do you think I am? If I, Record, the top angel of the Intelligence Department, were to give up over something like this, I would have to relinquish this title immediately.”

Winking playfully, he shook his slightly wavy hair. As it happens, while being recruited by Mermel as a subordinate, he also served as the number two in the Underworld Division and the head of the Intelligence Department.

Initially, there was some tension between the two departments, but the Magic God trusted Mermel’s seemingly miraculous decisions, and Record himself found the rising star intriguing. Thus, the matter was quickly resolved.

Therefore, the two of them didn’t have a strict hierarchy; rather, they worked together as partners, even though one was the superior and the other the secretary.

“Alright then. I’ll leave the rest to you and enjoy my vacation. See you in about six months!”

“Yes, see you in six months. Have a great time.”

Apparently, heavenly work allows for substantial vacations, and Mermel, who had been working almost continuously for three years, left to use up her leave. She walked away lightly, eager to take care of the egg she was excited about.

“But that egg… She ordered it three years ago from the Heavenly Online Shop’s gacha corner after suddenly deciding she wanted a pet during her inspection of the Underworld…”

Three years ago coincided with Ekina and Abel’s first adventure. Mermel must have remembered the scene where they brought back the scallop spirit Wasabi as an adventure companion.

Record had read reports about this but hadn’t expected his partner to actually start using the gacha. He tried to stop her, fearing dangerous divine or phantom beasts might emerge, but it was too late. Mermel had already magically contracted the egg at home, coolly adjusting her sunglasses.

It seems it was already too late then. Well, considering his partner’s extraordinary luck, Record, the top angel of information, was optimistic that no incompatible divine or phantom beast would be born.

“Three years have passed since then. Considering it still hasn’t hatched, it’s likely a high-quality phantom beast. Historical data often discusses the relationship between the incubation period and the abilities of divine beasts. And, annoyingly, even that interdimensional demon who’s better at gathering information than me has said to look forward to it. So, it’s almost certain…”

The interdimensional demon referred to is that meddlesome lower-class demon, who frequently visits heaven and interacts with Mermel and the Magic God.

For the Magic God, it’s for magical discussions. Regarding Mermel, he provides detailed information about the underworld, which the assistant angels couldn’t gather, based on his experiences and knowledge through Mini-Kakyu. To avoid making them feel indebted, Kakyu asks to see some documents from the Information and Underworld Departments, creating the illusion of an equal exchange. However, it’s clear that the lower-class demon doesn’t need such documents.

He always brings more accurate information than those documents. It’s obvious that he’s there to support Mermel, who just started her career and hasn’t yet found her rhythm. This understanding leads Record, the top angel of information, to acknowledge, “I can’t beat that demon.”

For the Magic God Oldemir, the good-natured demon is a delightful friend for magical discussions. However, for Record, it’s undeniably a bit annoying.

Reflecting on this, Record continues his work efficiently and glances outside. Then…

“Could it be that the egg hasn’t hatched because it hasn’t been warmed enough? Maybe I should warm it with magma. Today, I’m going to have a campfire at a volcano!”

Mermel, with her inexplicable logic, was seen taking the egg and heading to the underworld energetically.

It seemed that the elite angel’s vacation began with a passion hotter than lava. The fate of the egg obtained from the gacha: will it become a boiled egg, or will it hatch into a legendary phantom beast or a mythical divine beast?

The result…

Well, knowing Mermel, it’s expected to be the latter.
