Finding Purpose In The Multiverse: Meta Essence Quest Mode

Cause And Effect Shounen Version

Entry 71:

Kunou POV:

Being the daughter of a faction leader is an amazing thing, but it is simultaneously also one of the worst.

While I am blessed with plenty of advisors, a loving mother, and plenty of resources so that I never need to struggle, I also lose certain things like time to spend with my mother and the possibility of having friends.

Every time I leave the shrine, I have to worry about being kidnapped or ransomed to another faction with some greedy Devils even attempting to reincarnate me, and let's just say they return to the underworld in jars.

I love my people, and I love my mother, but sometimes I find myself thinking of everything I'm losing by being who I am.

And as the days wore on and became more and more boring, I met an interesting character.

A large Angel showed up in Kyoto, and I was so excited to meet a new person. He was so nice. He even let me ride on his shoulders, and I could see all around me nor could I be made fun of for my short height.

He even made jokes with Uncle Nura, and none of what he said were ever lies, as I could tell due to my innate ability to use Senjustu, and he was just genuinely fun and comforting.

And then those human magicians attempted to kidnap me again, and he placed me within a barrier, and it felt warm, and in a couple of seconds, he had knocked them all out as if he was a puppet master cutting strings.

It was so unique and so cool. In addition to the fact that he put on his armor almost instantly, it looked intimidating but so metal.

Yet when he released me, and I climbed on him, he welcomed it and even patted me on the head, which felt amazing by the way I fell asleep, which was luckily only for a couple of minutes, and the Angel even kept Uncle Nura for reprimanding me for it.

It seems my new Angel friend understands the importance of naps.

He is definitely a keeper, and when I woke up, I noticed that Susanno was trying to slash my new Angel friend. I was worried that he was going to get hurt, but instead, he caught the blade. But I didn't even feel the impact.

It seemed my new Angel friend placed a barrier that kept the impact from affecting me while protecting me from the blade.

This is a nice feeling because while I feel safe in my mother's presence, this Angel is different. If I were to compare my mother to a solid warm flame, this Angel is like a welcoming stronghold.

He must be trying to take me off his head to return me to my mother, but I don't want to.

And then my mother came over to my new Angel friend and whispered in my ear, "Kunou, if you do not get off the angel, he won't be able to come back."

Whatt!!!

I immediately jumped off the Angel, but not before giving him a hug, which he returned. And it must have been a hilarious picture, as his one hand could essentially cover 3/4 of my body.

And a few hours later I heard that the Angel could come back whenever he wanted and had something to do with him helping out the faction with our problem relating to the various magicians trying to kidnap me.

Also, I had a plan forming in my head as I saw the way the Angel was looking at my mother and how my mother was looking at the Angel after he left.

Once I found him leaving the bar with Uncle Nura, I asked him how he thought of my mother, and his words genuinely affected me as very few people are so honest, and it wasn't just his desire. It was pure admiration.
