That’s where the main headquarters of Heaven is based at. Well, the lowest ranking Angels including myself mainly come here—the frontline base of First Heaven.”
So Michael-san is in Sixth Heaven. That means that’s the place we are heading to. Rias says while looking around with keen eyes. “I was told that the structures of the floor changed quite drastically compared to before.”
“I’m sure Azazel-sensei—the Grigori were living at Fifth Heaven before falling.”
Xenovia continues after her. Sister Griselda nods. “Yes, it’s said that the Fifth Heaven where the Grigori’s lived when they were Angels was temporarily their camp. Currently it is a floor with many research institutes. The “Brave Saints” cards were also created there.”
Hmm, so the place where Sensei lived now has a laboratory where they create Brave Saint’s cards huh. I sense some kind of link between the two. Like that, we arrive at the elevator which will take us to higher the floors while walking and looking around like tourists. We get a strict check from the security Angels and go through many thick doors in order to get onto the similar elevator as before to go further up. Massive doors appear as we go higher and we continue forth by going through them. This may be a hassle, but these are needed in order to make even a sturdier security in Heaven. It appears that there is a door and security check for every floor. I guess you would need a lot of privilege in order to go to the higher floors. We weren’t able to have a look at Second Heaven and Third Heaven. Unlike First Heaven, we moved towards the elevator as soon as we passed through the gate. Sister Griselda explains to us who weren’t able to have a look down there. “Heaven which is commonly referred to exists in Third Heaven. It’s the largest floor. It’s so vast that it is said you can’t tell where the end is. I’m sorry but the souls down there may be stimulated if Devils like you go there. Therefore we wanted to restrict you from visiting down there.”
So the general Heaven is at Third Heaven huh. We already came up to Fourth Heaven. It kind of feels weird when I’m told that we just bypassed the general Heaven. On top of that we are Devils, so that makes us Devils who went past Heaven. —That phrase alone makes it sound cool. But the fact is we haven’t seen the general Heaven. It’s the resting soil of souls that came here so they wouldn’t want to meet Devils. Well, apparently the number of Heavens is equal to the number of mythologies. So I guess this is the Heaven of the “Catholic religion”. I guess this Heaven is the living land of Angels that served under the God from the Bible. “Fourth Heaven is also known as Eden’s Garden. I guess the story of Adam and Eve is famous for it.”
Irina tells us. Eden’s Garden! I wonder if it’s a paradise-like place? I would love to see it but we ended up passing through that as well and continue going up. Fifth Heaven really was a place with many laboratory like buildings. There are also buildings that look like those modern human ones which gave it a new feeling to it. I’m starting to have an interest in this place knowing the fact that it’s the former workplace of Sensei…..but the place we are heading to is above this place. It happens when we enter the elevator which connects to Sixth Heaven. Sister gives us further explanation as if she just remembered. “Regarding the rules of Heaven……this place isn’t strong towards the living as the human world and the Underworld.”
She then says this while putting her index finger up. “In other words, its very fragile against evil.”
Well, they are Angels after all. So having evil intents would be a taboo. Even Irina has her wings lit black and white to things besides erotic things. It even makes me shocked to the degree where I say “You can even fall with just that!?”. “……To put it simply, Ise-senpai needs refrain his pervertness.”
I don’t have any words to throw back to Koneko-chan’s harsh comment! “Yes! I will promise not to think of lewd things as much as possible!”
There’s no way I can do a perverted things in Heaven! Once we go up to Sixth Heaven, a gate and door which is even larger than before appears! No matter where I look at simple walls and even the gates are so large that it’s more than one-hundred meters tall! A huge gate as such opens slowly and we pass through it. ……The gate is so thick that it makes you think it’s a wall! If you have to come up with someone who can manage to destroy this, than it will only be possible for those with strength of a God-class. Even I don’t have a technique which can puncture a hole in this thing. Maybe its even impossible for Crimson Blaster to break this gate? A gate which makes me think like that exists in this Sixth Heaven. Once I pass through the gate, what appears ahead is—a shrine-like building which is giving out a golden shine. And the whole building itself is giving out a sacred wave which makes me think that being able to see this will give me luck! It has so much light density that a Devil can get damage and be eliminated just by seeing that! No, the fact remains that we are still alive even after seeing that! That’s just how grand and sacred it appears. Sister Griselda explains to us as we walk on the path that leads to that building. “That’s the current core of Heaven where the Seraphs resides at—the “Zebel”. We also call that building as such. The floor above this place— Seventh Heaven which is the highest floor is an area which only the Seraphs can enter.”
—“Zebel”
That’s the core of Heaven where Michael-san resides! And for us to be able to step our feet inside it……! If I think about it, I haven’t even had a sightseeing to observe the place where our Maou-sama of the Underworld works at. Now I have myself suddenly coming this far in Heaven. —That’s what was going through my mind. But Sister and Irina turned in a different direction during our course and are getting further away from the road that leads to the front of “Zebel”. “The truth is Zebel is currently going through interior construction therefore each of the Seraphs are at different locations. Michael-sama will be waiting this way.”
Sister goes forward while saying that. That building is going through construction huh. ……Perhaps they are strengthening the interior for preparation against terrorism? Several minutes after going forward, we find ourselves in what appears to be a middle court. There are variety of flowers blossomed in different colours and there’s also water flowing. Therefore it appears like a garden. We then find a certain individual using a table at the terrace of a small hut. As soon as he sees us, he gets up and shows a gentle smile at us. “Hello everyone. It’s been awhile.”
The handsome man with golden wings—it’s Michael-san! The leader of Heaven! The legendary Chief Angel! The last time we met him while standing this close was the sports day held between the Three Great Powers. “It sure has been a while, Michael-sama.
