Returned from Another World, Earth Turned Out to Be Quite the Fantasy Too. Also, Losing Heroines, Stop Looking This Way. - V2 Chapter 35

Chapter 35: “Another big name, huh?” ②

“…Hello.”

Tentatively opening the entrance door, Natsuki froze in place.

There stood a young man in his early twenties. 

The term “handsome” seemed to have been coined especially for him, so beautiful he was. And yet, his long, shining blond hair highlighted his beauty even more.

“Hello. I apologize for the sudden visit. My name is Michael. I’m one of the high-ranking officials in the divine realm, an archangel who isn’t exactly faithful to God.”

“…Not exactly faithful, huh?”

What surprised Natsuki was not the visit from yet another big name. Nor was it the breathtakingly handsome young man. 

It was the shock of seeing the big-name archangel Michael wearing a gray tracksuit and sandals for his visit.

“Didn’t you have more appropriate clothes for going out?”

“I’ve decided to live casually in my private time.”

“But, you know, since you’re going out and all.”

“Haha. I understand. Humans do tend to go out to places like convenience stores in jerseys and sweats, don’t they?”

“Please don’t come from the divine realm to here with the same casualness as going to a convenience store. Ah, well, please come in for now.”

“Thank you.”

Feeling it improper to keep the archangel standing at the entrance forever, Natsuki decided to let him in.

Starting with Lucifer, then Satan, Lucifer, Tsukuyomi, and now Michael had come.

Natsuki, being a hero from another world, felt that the Yura household was becoming increasingly chaotic.

“Geh, Father!”

Upon being led to the living room, the quickest to react was Michael’s son, Alphonse.

“Don’t ‘geh’ me. I came because I heard Alphonse was attacked.”

“I’m not a kid, you don’t need to worry.”

“You’re causing trouble for the humans, you know? You, after all, tried to ascend to the divine realm through unconventional means instead of the official route, which led to this situation.”

Michael began to scold his son, but realizing that all eyes were on him, he cleared his throat and bowed to everyone.

“Hello, everyone. Alphonse has been under your care. I am Michael, an archangel not exactly faithful to God.”

It seemed that Michael had his own thoughts about God, but Natsuki decided not to probe further.

“Oh, if it isn’t my uncle! It’s been a while!”

“It has been. It’s good to see you well and energetic as ever, Koume.”

“My charm and beauty are my only virtues, after all!”

Koume greeted without any issue, while Ginko sighed, “Another big name has arrived. I’m fed up,” and Kazuto exclaimed in surprise, “Eh? Michael as in THE Michael!? Awesome! But why are you wearing sweats? I have the same ones!”

“Um, so, Michael-san, you came to pick up Alphonse-san, is that correct?”

“Yes. I’m truly grateful for the precious blood you’ve shared. He may be as he is, but he’s irreplaceable to me.”

“…Father.”

“No need for thanks. There’s no need for a reason to help someone you know.”

“…Even so, thank you.”

Michael bowed deeply to Natsuki.

The sight of Michael, a high-ranking official of the divine realm, bowing to a mere human might seem problematic, but if angels like Michael exist, the divine realm must surely be a wonderful place.

“I would have liked to spend more time talking with you, but I am here only to pick up Alphonse, so we must be going.”

“Oh, I see. Well, please come visit again when you can.”

“Yes, let’s promise that.”

Michael smiled at Natsuki. Then, he turned to Kazuto.

“Kazuto Miyahara-kun, I thank you for helping my son.”

“No, it was nothing.”

“This is a token of my gratitude.”

Michael pulled a strand of his hair and wrapped it around Kazuto’s right hand.

“Um, what’s this?”

“Should you find yourself in danger, pull this. At that moment, a Michael-type barrier will activate.”

“A Michael-type barrier… Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Next, Michael looked at Ginko.

“Ginko Aoyama-san, the demonic sword you possess has not yet unleashed its full power. Please do make sure to unlock its true potential.”

“Whoa, really!? Thank you! I’ll do my best!”

“You’re sure to awaken to some interesting powers. Good luck.”

Finally, Michael turned to Koume.

“Koume, it seems you’ve found a good person. As your uncle, I’m relieved. I’ll make sure to speak with Gabriel about the engagement matters, so don’t worry.”

“Umu!”

“However, dealing with the demon-kinds might be troublesome, but please do your best.”

“With Natsuki around, it’ll be a breeze!”

“…I see. I’m looking forward to it.”

After addressing everyone, Michael, along with Alphonse who had finished getting ready, headed to the entrance.

“Then, everyone, goodbye. I’ll come to visit again.”

“Yes, please do.”

“Natsuki, Kazuto, thanks for everything. I’ll be back!”

“At that moment, I’ll leave the meal in your hands.”

“Ah, I want to eat again too!”

“Leave it to me!”

With smiles exchanged, Michael and Alphonse vanished with a flap of their wings.

―Who would have thought that Michael would actually come to visit later?
