Although I feel great now, I know that the current situation is not a joke.

I rushed towards the elf, regardless of the consequences, to shut him up.

"Oh... Lord Angel!"

But as I flew in the air, I saw him kneel down with a thud. I almost tripped over him and couldn't brake in time.

Luckily, I reacted quickly and slightly lifted my wings to avoid him, then flipped and landed behind him.

"Oh my god! This transformation is much cooler than my wolf form!"

After saying that, Aliyah's ears appeared instantly, and her fur turned red.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to outdo me even in this?"

"Of course! Don't you know how cool you look now?"

While saying that, Aliyah took out a round box and placed it on the ground, then stepped on it.

With a click, a mirror popped out from the ground!

What kind of mechanism is this? It's amazing!

But even more amazing was the reflection in the mirror.

"Oh my god... Who let this punk rock angel descend?"

I was scared by my own reflection in the mirror. Punk rock wouldn't even describe my outfit anymore. I looked like a model from some Victoria's Secret fashion show that had gone wrong.

Two angel wings on the left, two bone wings on the right – I've never seen such a ridiculous style.

But in reality, that was the least of my worries. My messy shoulder-length silver hair was the main problem, along with the red and golden chuunibyou eyes. I wanted to find a hole and hide in it...

"Aliyah, listen."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have an eyepatch?"

"Huh?"

"I can't stand looking at my ridiculous appearance."

"Come on, stop complaining! Many people would kill for a style like yours!"

I looked at Aliyah in agony and sighed for no reason.

"Okay, anyway... What about that person over there? Mulan Duo? I won't comment on your strange name, but tell me, did you intentionally expose my true form?"

As I saw him sincerely looking at me, I pondered for a moment and decided to take advantage of this situation.

After all, he volunteered for this, didn't he?

"That... That's impossible. I was just purely curious about how you could use legendary magic. I absolutely did not intend to expose your disguise."

"... Okay, I believe you."

I walked up to him.

"Get up, but you have to promise me a few conditions."

"Please tell me, Lord Angel."

"One, you cannot mention my identity to anyone. Two, you know some information about angels, so tell me everything. Three, show me your elf magic."

"Tch, so unfair."

Aliyah complained unhappily.

"By the way, if you have any useful martial arts books, bring some. My friend seems to want to see them."

"Alright, no problem, but..."

"But what?"

"Why did an angel appear here...?"

"Hey, don't you know what's happening? Your forest elves and the dark elves attacked the human city. Humans are about to go to war with each other, and both your sides have lost a lot of fighting power. Once the battle starts, your losses will be heavy too."

"Oh... I see."

"Oh? What do you know? By the way, can you take off your mask? It looks really creepy."

"What? You can actually see my mask? No, of course, you must be an angel."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

I suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Aliyah.

"What does his face look like to you?"

"A blank, pale face... Why?"

"I see a mask with black stripes."

"What?"

Aliyah rubbed her eyes.

"That's impossible, it was clearly..."

"[The Joker's grin]."

Mulan Duo took off his mask, revealing his true face.

"Ah, I see. So that's how it is..."

Underneath the mask, he was actually a dark elf.

"No wonder... I suppose regular elves wouldn't call me an angel, but..."

"Undead Holy Angel, sir..."

Mulan Duo kneeled down.

"I wonder... Are you here to accelerate this chaos or..."

"Oh, I'm just here to have some fun."

I pretended to say casually.

"The events happening this time have nothing to do with the heavens or the abyss, so I just came to take a look on my way. And since the situation among the elves is about to turn into a battle, too..."

"I understand, I understand."

The other person nodded repeatedly.

"Very well, then let's keep each other's secrets... By the way, are you the only one in this magic fortress?"

"No, I only have control over this floor."

"That's good."

As I spoke, I opened up the skills tab, folded my wings, and used the skill Fran taught me to seal my abilities.

In the mirror, I slowly returned to my original appearance, black hair and all.

After confirming everything was okay in the mirror, I looked behind me. Aliyah had returned to her original self, and Mulan Duo put on his mask again.

"Alright, problem solved. Mulan Duo, remember not to use that device of yours to startle people again... But it really is effective, more than any magic potion."

"Cough, just now you consumed an entire large magic stone in an instant. Normally, no one, including angels, can absorb the energy of a magic stone so quickly. But this device was developed for such occasions! It's the new hope of the magic world!"

This person seemed so excited that I had the impulse to introduce him to Dale and Ms. Mary.

Research enthusiasts are definitely abnormal people, that's the only thing I'm certain of.

"But the elves here have always loved studying magic, so there should be plenty of magic stones, right?"

"That's true, and unlike us dark elves, the forest elves love studying various kinds of magic, so they have a lot of different magic stones."

"Aliyah, did you hear that?"

"Of course, but... the location?"

We both looked at Mulan Duo.

"...Are you... planning to rob the elves' magic warehouse?"

"Even angels have desires, and besides, I'm not an ordinary angel."

"I understand, please..."

Suddenly, Mulan Duo's words were cut off, and the entire floor suddenly trembled. It felt... like it was coming from above!

"It seems like... we're in trouble..."

I saw a large number of red names rushing by above!

"There's no chance for robbery today... but at least we'll gain experience from battling monsters~"
