"So, this child isn't evil?" Father Remington began.

"Nope, she's just a regular little girl…" Rosette shrugged. Chrono gazed distractedly out of the window.

"Chrono, you said you knew the girl's father, am I right?" Father Remington began.

"…Yeah…Lunus was a very powerful devil, he was in league with me and Ion to take back heaven…"

Rosette gasped.

"…Lunus was purely in it for the battle. He loved to fight, that's all I can say. One day, he was taken by surprise and severely hurt in battle. He fell to earth and we didn't hear from him for a while after that. Ion thought he was dead but I knew better.

"He came to me almost a year later, telling me he was giving up the campaign. When I demanded a reason, he told me about the girl he met in human world and how she had given him a daughter, the way he described them, you would've thought they were the Virgin Mother and Child…" Chrono huffed. "He told me to tell Ion he was dead, he said he was going to stay with his lover and baby…perhaps the reason Lunus left them was because Ion found him again…"

"Then we have to find him!" Rosette began.

"How? We don't even know where to look!" Chrono began.

"And besides that wasn't our mission…" Father Remington began.

"I don't care! I look at Celeste and I just wanna help her! She's all alone…her mother's only human she can't protect her forever…"

Chrono looked away, Father Remington fell deep in thought.

"…we can't do anything about the father but…I propose you two stay close and watch the girl awhile longer"

"Thank you, Father!" Rosette cheered.


"Hi Sister Rosette, hi Chrono!" Celeste chirped running up to them.

"Hi Celeste" Rosette smiled.

"I like the way you smell, Chrono…it's like papa's smell" she smiled. Rosette looked at her.

"…You remember your papa?" Chrono asked.

"…Mmhm…even though I haven't seen him since I was a baby…and I can't remember his face so well, I remember his smell. His voice was strong and gentle when he talked to me…he called me 'precious' and said 'I love you' a lot to me and mama…" red tears welled in her eyes. "…I miss him so much…" She cried burying her face in Rosette's chest.

"Celeste…" Rosette began.

Chrono then paused staring out into the forest that surrounded the village.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Rosette asked.

"…Nothing…nothing at all…" he sighed. The creature's black eyes focused on the house, it smirked wickedly.


"…If Father Remington wants us to check in on Delilah and Celeste…he could at least lent us a CAR!!!" Rosette whined.

"…C'mon, Rosette, we're almost…" Chrono began. He stopped dead in his tracks.

"…Huh? What's wrong?"

"…Come on!" He said grabbing onto her arm.
