It has been about four years since Guest passed away.

I have been living an unchanging daily life.

Wake up as usual, go to the office, work, go home, cook dinner, eat, take a bath, brush my teeth, and sleep.

A perfectly ordinary routine.

However, ever since Guest left, I have lived with a constant sensation of emptiness, as if a giant hole was carved into my heart.

I remember her sometimes—no, she is always there. Her smile, her voice apologizing while laughing, the way she called my name, the sound of her joyful laughter.

And... her final words.

"When I die, I'll become an angel and come to see you again."

There is no such thing as angels, devils, or gods. That is what I always believed.

But... if they did exist...

Lost in thought, I step onto the crosswalk on my way home.

A light so blinding I want to close my eyes rushes toward me from the right.

It was a truck.

By the time the thought registered, it was too late.

I was thrown several meters.

"Ah, so this is fate."

My whole body screamed in pain; I thought it would be better to just die. I closed my eyes as if falling asleep.

...However, I woke up.

An unfamiliar space, with a beautiful blue sky stretching out above.

"Where am I...?"

Looking around, I saw people dressed in white like angels, and others walking in black clothes like devils.

I had a bad feeling.

I was wearing black. Could it be...

A devil?

"What does this mean? Why?"

As I stood there confused, an angel approached me.

[Supplementary Information]

The condition for reincarnating as an angel or devil is having lingering regrets from one's previous life. While angels and devils are technically in a state of conflict, that is a matter for the higher-ups. Ordinary angels and devils generally live together in harmony. However, it is strictly forbidden for devils to enter the Celestial Realm or for angels to enter the Demon Realm. Romance between the two is similarly forbidden and subject to punishment. The boundary between the Celestial and Demon Realms (where angels and devils can interact) is called the "Interstice." (It is a space filled with mystical nature.)

[To Everyone]

Thank you for reading this far! Even if you only read this part, please take a look. This work is a sequel to

"The Real Reason for Causing Trouble"

I believe you will enjoy this plot more if you play that one first. Just between us, this plot was actually the main one I wanted to create, rather than the previous one. I thought it would be more interesting to have a prequel-like story first, so I released that one first. This is just a trivial aside, but I hope you have fun playing.

Please, enjoy!
