"You can't entrust this matter to Zadkiel; she can't do it. After all, an Angel's abilities are just some healing, attack, and protection. They are very good at these positive buffing abilities. If you want them to survive this disaster, you can use her protection ability. But then there would be no death, which would affect the future. the world's consciousness wouldn't allow it, and even if it did, the future would change," Astaroth said to Yoshino.
"Is that so?" Yoshino looked at Zadkiel in confusion. To Yoshino, Zadkiel seemed omnipotent; many times, she had overcome difficulties by using the Angel's power, so she didn't expect there to be anything Zadkiel couldn't do.
"That's right, guardian. It's better to let her complete this. If Astaroth's ability is used, then that couple can be saved without affecting the future. Also, the power of time travel on you is slowly disappearing. I can feel that you will be going back soon," Zadkiel, sensing the energy on Yoshino's body draining, reminded her. She knew some of Yoshino's memories and naturally understood the function of The Twelfth Bullet.
Their goal this time was to save people who were supposed to die within this timeframe, while also achieving this without affecting history. This was indeed very difficult for Yoshino, which is why she asked them for advice.
"Then do you have any ideas, Astaroth?" Yoshino looked at her expectantly, hoping she could give her some advice to resolve her current predicament. After all, she didn't have much time left, and she didn't know when the world's consciousness would break through gaia and their energy. She didn't want to experience that tearing sensation again.
"Hmm. They already died in the original history, didn't they? Then just let them die," Astaroth stated her answer.
"Eh?" Yoshino blinked her eyes upon hearing her words. What does that mean? I'm here to save people, what do you mean by letting them die? Don't mess around, okay?
"Ah! That! I didn't mean to let them die! My meaning is that in order for that Little Girl to mistakenly believe that the Spirits killed her parents, a false impression of their death is needed. And in order not to change the historical trajectory of these few years, they must not exist during these years. They can be brought out later, after a few years. This way, their family can be reunited, and at the same time, the historical trajectory will not be changed."
Astaroth, who had originally wanted to play with Yoshino, quickly explained to Yoshino when she saw the black aura on Zadkiel rise again. Don't look at how she usually teases Zadkiel, but if Zadkiel gets angry, even Astaroth at her peak would be afraid. She really didn't understand why Zadkiel had become like this? She used to not get angry no matter what Astaroth said, but now it's no fun at all.
"Just use my ability to summon some Koakuma from hell to transform into the appearance of these two, and then have them be hit by the opponent's light beam and die. This way, the progress of history remains complete, because she won't know that we've already taken her parents to another place, and she'll still think her parents died at the hands of the Spirits." This way, everything would be perfect. However, Astaroth's current power was sealed and unusable. She could only look at her.
...I know. Fortunately, this world has the existence of hell, otherwise you wouldn't be able to summon those low-level Koakuma," After making Tobiichi Origami's family unconscious, she temporarily unsealed her and mocked her with dissatisfaction. Summoning Koakuma in a world where demons haven't appeared yet is somewhat irritating!
"But there's also the existence of heaven, isn't there? Do you want to see your counterpart in this world? Or go to heaven?" Astaroth's face showed a joyful smile as she felt her power return. Although it was only temporary, it already made her very happy.
"Just some hypocritical guys who borrow their glorious appearance. It doesn't matter whether I see them or not!" Zadkiel showed a cold smile. If those guys knew she was currently following such a miraculous guardian, they would probably set their sights on her. She wasn't as foolish as the other Angels.
Ignoring her expression, Astaroth's phantom flashed and instantly disappeared from her original spot. Then, she appeared beside Tobiichi Origami's parents. After checking, she found that their life force was still very strong, indicating that their bodies were fine. Then, after she silently recited a few words, a dark purple hexagram magic circle appeared at her feet. Soon, two Koakuma with horns appeared beside her. After she spoke a few incomprehensible words to them, they nodded and transformed to look exactly like Tobiichi Origami's parents, lying on the ground. She then brought the original Tobiichi Origami's parents to Yoshino's side.
"Someone's coming!" Zadkiel suddenly said, and then they saw the Yoshino and Tobiichi Origami who had returned here earlier appear. Then, the Spirit-transformed Tobiichi Origami, who was fighting with Phnom (Phantom) in the sky, was approaching here. If they had been even a little later, they probably would have been seen. That was really a close call.
Then they saw Tobiichi Origami, who was in battle, unleash a beam of light that perfectly struck the 'Tobiichi Origami's parents,' and they immediately lost all signs of life. Only a corpse appeared on the ground, followed by Tobiichi Origami's desperate cries echoing in their ears.
