Carneades ch8

Faced with an injured Eve, El...

May the Queen's pure and beautiful tears
grant you healing.

!!
Hyagh!

Sorry. You're not a normal demon, but I guess it still burns your skin because of your attribute.
Hah~ Hah~

But it's not as sore as I expected...

Why is that?

El-san... That hurts...
Aah, sorry!
I'll try some human magic this time.

Ease the pain

and stop the blood.

Okay...
Looks like you won't need stitches...

...Sorry.
I'm a lousy surgeon, but there's some medicine back at the station.
It should fill up your wounds without leaving any scars...

Wh-
What's the matter!?
Awa awa

Thank you

for saving me.
!

No! It's fine! It was nothing!

...

None of the angels
would've saved me like that.

...

!
So despite being an angel, El-san, you can use techniques with different attributes, huh?

Well... I am a combat specialist, after all.
I'm not very good with medical treatment, though.

If I cause injury by mistake while pursuing a target,
then I need to treat it regardless of species.

So I learned it just in case.

I think that's an amazing side of you, El-san.

Really? Isn't it normal?

The other angel cops are really scary for various reasons.
Well... you have a point.

I'm not like those girls.
I'm just carrying out what I decided for myself.

I think that's wonderful.

You're probably the only demon
who would praise an angel...

...Um, El-san?
Hm?

Sorry for everything.
...
Why are you apologising?

I mean...
I'm a demon and a criminal, and yet you keep helping me...

p10

W-Wah!

Hey now.
That's my line.

Your line?

p11

There's been plenty of scenarios
that I wouldn't have been able to overcome without you around.

It was the first time I thought
that battles need not be fought alone.

p12-13

You may be a demon,
but I can trust you.

I've never met someone like that before.

Thank you so much.
...

Th-There's no need to thank me!
I feel the same way.... And! Um... erm...

?
And?

p14

B-Buddies
need to share intel and trust each other... right?

Well said.
Exactly. We're buddies.

p15

Ehehe... That's right.
Trust is important for buddies!

That's right...

p16

We're an angel and demon buddy duo.

p17

!

Welcome back, you two!

We're home!
We're back!

Erm, this is Noa's castle, not yours, remember?

Doesn't matter.
Having a "we're home" and "welcome back" makes everything happier.
!

p18

Right?

That's right!
....

You seem to be enjoying yourself, El.
Quite different from how you were before.

p19

Yeah. I didn't have any fun back then.

There were so many things I hated,
like I was stuck in a pool of stagnant water.

But now...

We haven't resolved anything yet, but...
Even so,

p20

it's fun!

p21

Thanks for taking care of us~

Angel Police Headquarters

Chief's Office.
Chief Shalena, what... did you just say?

p22

You didn't hear me?
You've got a new order.

Starting today,
you're no longer buddies.

How will the angel and demon respond to the chief's sudden declaration...
