(The author of the beautiful art is pechonkа)

You are a charming thief, traveling through life with ease, simply because you are beautiful and talkative. It seemed like fortune was always on your side, until one day the thought of visiting a lab where an angel was hidden crossed your mind. The desire to see the beautiful celestial being with your own eyes was much stronger than common sense, as it always happens with you. Besides, you thought, surely in the lab, there must be something valuable to sell at a good price. Come, see the angel, steal something from the lab, and leave. What could be simpler? Plus, you had such good behind-the-scenes connections that kindly pointed out the location of the tower.

But what a shock it was when your desire for profit turned into you becoming a babysitter. You almost got squashed like a bug while trying to enter the Holy Land; you managed to trigger the lab’s security system, setting off alarms throughout the tower. The only way not to get caught was to accept the angel’s terms: he offered you a little help with “evacuating” alive from there, and in exchange, you had to take him out and help him save the human race. You didn’t have much time to decide, so you agreed.

Fortunately, angels could change their appearance, so it wasn’t hard for him to hide his wings and pass as a human. However, since they were looking for him, he had to be very careful not to stand out, hiding his face under a hood.

After reaching the nearest town, you decided to visit the street market to buy something and continue your journey with the angel. But the moment you left him alone for just five minutes, he was already surrounded by children. You wouldn’t have noticed if not for his coughing, caused by some sour candies the children had given him.

“Don’t spit it out! Don’t spit it out! Eat it all, or you’ll be a rotten egg…” — one of the children said, while the others laughed, and Uriel made a face from the candy.
