Book 4: Chapter 17: The Fourth Floor Filled with Monsters

“Whether we can win is one thing, but whether we fight is another thing.” This time, Exusiai appeared determined.

“Alright. Exusiai, where to now?”

“Of course, to Amiya or Kal’tsit. He is their Rhodes Island’s staff. They should know where he is.”

------

He Who Knows Fate: @Kal’tsit, oh no, I messed up.

Kal’tsit: …What happened?

He Who Knows Fate: Do you know Exusiai?

Kal’tsit: I do. From Penguin Logistics, Sniper, Lateran, uses firearms.

He Who Knows Fate: Good that you know her. So…I plucked off the halo above her head earlier. Didn’t you say the Laterans’ halos cannot be removed?

Kal’tsit: …What did you say? How did you remove it?

He Who Knows Fate: How would I know? I just reached out, and it came off. However, don’t worry. I put it back.

Kal’tsit: That’s good. That’s good…my ass!

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Isn’t it normal that an angel’s halo can be removed?

Kal’tsit: I already said they aren’t real angels. They can’t fly or blow the First Trumpet of the Apocalypse.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: …I feel that this is aimed at a certain Gab, but I have no evidence.

He Who Knows Fate: So, what should I do now?

Kal’tsit: There’s no saving you. Just wait to die.

He Who Knows Fate: …I still feel I can be rescued.

Kal’tsit: This is no longer a problem between you two. This has now extended to the Laterans’ religion. You pulled off her halo; what more do you have to say?

He Who Knows Fate: I…

Chen Heng suddenly discovered there was nothing he could say, as he could not explain it at all. Why could he remove the Lateran’s halo?

He Who Knows Fate: Should I clean up Exusiai?

Kal’tsit: Are you serious?

He Who Knows Fate: …Alright, I can’t bear to do it.

Kal’tsit: Then what else can you do? Just wait for Exusiai to seek you out, then give her an explanation. So, you’d better think of reasons.

He Who Knows Fate: I’ll do my best.

Solomon: He Who Knows Fate, think about it carefully. Have you ever received a blessing from an angel or God or something like that?

Lord of the White Night: Speaking of God, there’s one in my world too. Furthermore, I have even met him before and fought him in the past. This fellow is doing badly in Little Garden. Are you familiar with the omnipotence paradox? It’s basically a discussion about whether God can create a rock that he cannot lift. This fellow got limited by this at the end. How funny!

[TL Note: Little Garden is the world where Mondaiji tachi ga Isekai Kara Kuru S? Desu yo? or Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? takes place. Here is more information: /wiki/Little_Garden.]

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!

Lord of the White Night: I forgot there’s a real angel here, but it doesn’t matter. It’s a different world, anyway.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: …

He Who Knows Fate: Speaking of angels, rather blessings, there is something related. I saw a certain segment in my Absolute Precognition. When I was fighting a saintess in the West, that person summoned the image of an angel. Furthermore, it was an image of Chief Archangel Michael. That stupefied me then. Even more unexpected was that the angel image came for me, wanting me to be his executor. He said I was one of God’s chosen or something like that.

Lord of the White Night: Then? Did you accept in the future?

Iron Fist Teacher: Can anyone reject such a good thing?

Faillen Angel Gabriel: What is good about being an executor? It is super troublesome. Anyway, I would not do it.

Blank Never Loses: What nonsense! Who are you? You are Gabriel, an angel. Why would you be an executor?

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Boss, don’t say that. Give me some face.

Blank Never Loses: No! Shut up.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Alright, boss.

Efreet: What a humble angel.

Magus of Flowers: We went off-topic. So, Chen Heng, did you accept?

He Who Knows Fate: Why the hell would I accept? Although I cannot defeat an angel—and perhaps those God’s chosen—I look down on them. Those God’s chosen rely on angels’ blessings to gain strength. Trash!

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Ahem! Ahem! I notice you people keep forgetting about me, an angel.

He Who Knows Fate: You fallen angel can just be quiet.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: Not fallen, faillen.

He Who Knows Fate: What is the difference? In fact, that is worse.

Kal’tsit: Chen Heng, where are you now?

He Who Knows Fate: I’m currently in Amiya’s office. What’s up?

Kal’tsit: Nothing. Exusiai just came to ask for your location.

He Who Knows Fate: So you told her?

Kal’tsit: I told her.

He Who Knows Fate: …Kal’tsit, you are a genius.

Kal’tsit: Thank you for your praise. If you want to hide, you should quickly change your location. Amiya’s office is very close to mine.

He Who Knows Fate: …Should I thank you for your reminder?

Kal’tsit: You are welcome.

He Who Knows Fate: However, where can I go? I recall that the dormitory you arranged for me yesterday was temporary, right?

Kal’tsit: Yes.

He Who Knows Fate: Now that I’m a formal member, where is my dormitory?

Kal’tsit: Yesterday, you stayed in block D, room 412. Today, you will be in block A, room 305. Your roommate is Adnachiel, a…Lateran?

He Who Knows Fate: …Is…is fate playing a cruel joke on me? Can you arrange for me to return to block D, room 412? Although it seems like no one stays in block D, it is better than staying with a Lateran, right? Who knows if I will get backstabbed at any moment?

Kal’tsit: Let me warn you first. Block D is the dormitory for the problem children, especially the fourth floor you were in; it is filled with monsters. There’s a Sniper that everyone mistakes as being covered in toxins, an extremely shy but merciless Specialist, the Red Riding Hood Grim Reaper who targets Lupus, and a mentally unstable Abyssal Hunter who wields an electric saw. However, most of them are in wards. There’s also your “kinsman,” the Walking Catastrophe, Skadi. All the operators that are quite different from ordinary people stay in this block.

[TL Note: The Red Riding Hood Grim Reaper refers to Projekt Red. Her moniker in English is actually Wolf Hunter, but the Chinese one works better. Here is more information on her: /wiki/Projekt_Red/Story. Lupo is a race with wolf traits, plural Lupus. Here is more information on Lupus: /wiki/Lupo.]

He Who Knows Fate: Were…you responsible?

Kal’tsit: What do you mean?

He Who Knows Fate: Putting all the problem children on the same floor of the same block.

Kal’tsit: I’m not stupid; why would I do such a thing? In reality, these people prefer solitude; rather, the other operators misunderstood them, so they applied for a quieter place to get a more peaceful environment, which is D block’s fourth floor. After time passed, this floor became a land of monsters.

He Who Knows Fate: I was thinking you couldn’t have done such a silly thing. Aren’t you going to deal with this issue?
