Chapter 2 (1/???)

Ange was standing there in the rain, crying. She has just discovered Kumasawa's body. Her face - which always had a gentle smile on it - was completely destroyed. Blood and flesh were everywhere on the ground.

Gohda: Ange-sama, you mustn't look! Please!! For the sake of your Father!!

--But Ange wasn't really shedding tears for Kumasawa. She was crying because she lost the last person that remained alive from her family. Rudolf was lying in a pool of blood a little distance away from Kumasawa. Ange wanted to go over to his Father but Gohda stopped her mid-way and didn't let her near Rudolf's body.

Ange: WHY?! First Mom and Onii-chan...now Dad too?! Why? If only...*hic* if only he survived....AHHHHHH!!!!*hic*

Gohda: Ange-sama, please!! Don't cry! Your Father would never want to see you like this, right?!

Ange: *hic* G-Gohda-san!! *sniff*

Ange hugged Gohda's big body and buried her face into Gohda. The big servant was ready for lots of situations, but this caught him off-guard. He didn't know what to do. In the end, he decided it would be best to do nothing and let Ange use his body as her pillow.

Maria: UU-- Ange, don't cry! Your Papa is in the Golden Land now!!

Ange: S-Stop it, Maria onee-chan!! The Golden Land doesn't exist!! My Dad is dead, no doubt!! Do you see all the blood?! How can you say things like that?!

Maria: Ange doesn't believe. Why? Why don't you believe in the Golden Land?

Ange: Maria onee-chan is stupid! Golden Land?! Witches?! Demons?! T-those don't exist!! Can't exist!! *hic* Onii-chan and Dad both told me things like that can't exist! Maria onee-chan is a liar!! *sniff*

Maria:......................I forgive you, Ange.

Ange: Huh?!

Maria: Ange is overpowered by sadness now. She doesn't know what she is talking about. But Maria forgives Ange. UU--!!

Ange:................

Ange fell silent while still hugging Gohda and crying. She looked away from Maria for a moment, then let go of Gohda finally.

Ange:......Thank you, Onee-chan. *hic*

Maria: Ange is Maria's precious friend. Maria could never hate Ange or wish misfortune upon her. Uu--!!

Ange: Onee-chan...UWAHHH!!!

Ange hugged Maria and started to let another stream of tears flow from her eyes. The two cousins stood there in the rain, not wanting to let go of each other.

Maria patted her cousin's back.

Ange:....Aren't you sad, Onee-chan?

Maria:...You mean because my Mama is dead?

Ange:...Yeah, Onee-chan is really strong. You never cried even a single bit. I want to be like you. I don't want to cry anymore. I don't want to be sad anymore.

Maria: UU-! Maria is sad too...but that is why magic exists! To cheer people up. When I think about Mama being dead, I remember the Golden Land. There, we will be together. Everyone. Me, Mama, Papa, and you Ange...of course Rudolf oji-san and Kyrie oba-san will be there too. Just like Battler and everyone else.

Ange:*hic*R-Really? How awesome....*sniff*

Maria: Right?! We will all play around and live happily forever and ever!

Gohda:....That's right. Ange-sama, you mustn't lose hope....

Gohda came up to them and put his hand on Ange's back. With both of her beloved cousin and Gohda comforting her, she finally managed to calm down. Calm down as much as it was possible in a situation like this.

Is there a big difference between taste and smell?
