Carneades ch9
p1
New orders. Your buddyship is being dissolved.
But why!?
El sent into a rage by an unexpected order...!
It was decided that it is unneccessary to have that demon under close watch.
I refuse to accept this...!
Our relationship as buddies has been efficient due to our complimenting battle abilities!
If you're gonna break us up, I demand a better explanation than that!
p2
...That's why.
...Eh?
An Angel Police Elite showing more concern for a demon than necessary...
...That was judged to be a more greater concern.
Pay no heed to that demon from now on.
If you resist, I may be forced to cut off your wings.
What's even the problem here?
Even angels and demons can understand each other!
p3
El Fractia!
It has been decided that you are being withdrawn from this case immediately.
It's only appropriate that your buddyship is dissolved.
Withdrawn... from the case? ....You're... kidding me.
p4
...Quit screwing around.
So many innocent people have been killed
and yet we haven't resolved anything! The humans are in danger too!
Just what are you thinking!?
Hold your tongue, El.
Or else I really will tear off your wings...
p5
Please wait!
I'll investigate the incident!
I'll do something about this case!
Eh...? Wait...
That way, even if our buddyship is dissolved, we can still pursue the case.
And there'll be nothing for El-san to worry about!
...Isn't that right?
p6
That's dangerous...! I can't let you...
Very well.
If you can prove the fruits of your imprisonment, I'll take it back.
However,
I won't take responsibility for rolling your corpse.
If you're fine with that, do what you want.
Thank you very much... Excuse me.
p7
Hey, Eve!
Please don't come near me.
You're an angel, and I'm a demon.
p8
From the very beginning,
it was a mistake for us to become buddies.
All that thing's good for is running away.
She'll be a corpse before you know it.
I'll give you the details on your next case tomorrow.
p9
Go back to your room, El Fractia.
Your buddyship is over.
It's warmer when we're together.
It's just... like you said.
p10
Eve can't fight on her own.
I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up dead by tomorrow.
And yet...
She shouldered the burden by herself for my sake.
p11
The new mission is guarding a noble...
...You mean, a human?
Yes...
Since the "founder" was targeted,
important people of all species have been in need to protection.
The target you'll be protecting is a representative of the church.
This time, it's a union ritual with an angel.
p12
If they're attacked, it will affect our reputation.
The representative for humans should be the "Holy Mother"...
Who is this girl?
"She" is someone who recently came into power.
p13
...Her purity and beauty surpasses that of even the Holy Mother.
She's received an arrogant number of human followers.
Nobody knows her true name,
which is why people have come to call her
Jane Doe.
p14
Be blessed.
Be blessed.
Be blessed.
In the lost, false name of the Queen,
On her crown, we bow and pray,
Let our wishes, our prayers,
and out voices reach her,
and bring glory on our race.
p15
So that's... Jane Doe.
...As far as guards are concerned,
there's 20 angels and 30 angels, with no enemies in sight.
p16
I'm not even needed here.
If I'm gonna slip out, now's my...
!
...Luna!?
Orders from the chief...
If your scent starts to go further away, I am to stop you, El-san...
p17
So in other words,
if I run away, you get the blame for it.
And with beastkin being in the position they are, she might even be disposed of.
...Get going.
p18
I wanted to see you off no matter what happens to me in the end.
You're not gonna get another chance like this.
I have no intention of stopping you.
What are you saying, you idiot...?
...If I go, you'll be...
Eve-san might be attacked by the enemy at any moment.
You don't intend on letting this case end just like that, do you?
But...
p19
More importantly!
You've finally gotten what you wanted.
Are you really fine with letting it go
because of an unreasonable order? I don't think so!
Luna...
I've regretted it for a long time.
You're a strong and just angel and I'm just a beastkin.
Being your buddy would just be presumptuous of me.
Even so... at last...
p20
you have someone worthy to be by your side.
That makes me happy.
If you've found someone you want by your side,
if you've met someone you want to be with,
then you must never let her go.
p21
Then... you should... at least come with me...
I can't.
If I run away, they'll threaten my distant family.
Even so, I can't let this case fall into the darkness.
If you like me, then get going.
...Luna.
p22
Go! El!
You can't let this heinous crime that has sacrificed many
go unsolved!
You're the angel who wouldn't even turn her back on Eve-san!
Aren't you?
p23
...Wait for me...
I'll bring Eve back here
and make sure to kidnap you.
That's not fair...
p24
Showing me your cool side like that.
Carrying her friend's wish with her, she rushes straight towards her partner!
