Chapter 121 - Chapter 121 Metatron

Meow~

"Aww, come here little kitty~"

Upon hearing a cat meowing, Me-chan followed the sound and saw a cute dark bluish cat with fluffy fur sitting on the empty chair. She immediately walks toward it, crouching down to her knees and rubs its head almost instinctively. But unlike her, the two men quickly stood up with their pistols pointed at the cat. Seeing their overreaction, she clicked her tongue.

"What are you two fools doing? Pointing a gun at a cute cat, really?"

"You dumb wanna-be ninja! Thinks for a sec! Our room is on the twelve floors and our windows are closed shut!"

"...Huh? What are you sayin—"

She was about to tell them that obviously the cat had been inside the room this entire time, but her mind suddenly recalled she had thoroughly inspected the room before entering, and she didn't senses any living beings. Her eyes widened at the realisation.

"Wow, you two aren't stupid like her nyeow?"

"The cat talked?!"

She said in surprise, but her body simultaneously jumped backward putting distance between her and the strange talking cat. But like they said, no matter how she looked at it, this cat is just too suspicious! It was grooming itself like a real cat, but the way it looks at them gives her the chill.

"Why is it that shocking for a cat to talk? Is it because we are superior than humans? Nyahaha~"

Kousuke said casually, his way of speaking seems oddly similar to that of a certain black nekoshou. Despite having pistols pointed at him, he wasn't the least bit shaken as they would've expected. In fact, he was still grooming his fur around his belly as if that was more interesting than entertaining them. But then, a single shot rang out like the sound of thunder but was easily stopped by his sharp teeth, before spitting it on the floor like dirt. 

"That was a nice exercise, could you shoot some morenya?"

He muttered while stretching his body like a real cat, it had been a while since he had transformed into animal, after all Seele was using his old ring, so he couldn't help but fully immerse in the experience. Then he eyed at the only woman in the room, his bluish pupils pierced through the falsehood and saw the truth she was trying to hide. 'Oh? Now, that is a welcome surprise.'

"W-What are you looking at? You wanted some of these?" She said while showing the sharp end of the shuriken she had pulled from her pocket. For some reasons, she feels inexplicably nervous being stares at by the strange cat. She never once thought someone would realized her true identity from a mere glance, especially not from someone unknown, or in this case a talking cat.

"Say hi to Michael for me, I really likes the holy sword Arondight he had given me, I quite like Lancelot the NTR Knight after all nyeow~"

"...Michael? Who's that?" 

Despite sweating bucket at the realization, Metatron still pretended she doesn't know what the cat was talking about. She had been away from Heaven for years now, so she didn't know what's going on over there. In the first place, no one should know about her except the Archangels. And as far as she know, there hadn't been any new archangel and there's no one on Heaven side that can free change form, except Samael. But that guy had been sealed by Biblical God way earlier before the whole Great War happened.

"Are these guys part of your group nya? Would be shame if I were to let Michael know what his stupid sister had been doing while he was working hard trying to regain the system back~"

"Seriously, what is this cat talking about? Who is this Michael? Do you know anyone like that?" The man with the rough voice asked. The other guy was about to say something as well, but he suddenly fall over to the floor, unconscious. And right after, the scar face man were also knocked out and in his dim vision, all he saw was the woman cold and emotionless face. Seeing the two hitmen now unconscious on the floor, Metatron sigh before turning toward the cat who had been observing her from the beginning.

"Who are you? I'm sure you're not part of Heaven since I would have recognize you." She asked, her butt flopped to the bed in exhaustion. She thought she was doing a good job as ninja, she had research into them as best as she can. She put on a heavy makeup to make herself appeared more plain, changed her mannerism of speech—Metatron works really hard to make sure of that.

"Nyahahaha! Well, can you guess? I didn't expect for an Archangel to roleplay themselves as ninja of all things, but then again I've seen Serafall so it wasn't that shocking now that I thought about it." Kousuke said as he jumped from the table and cat walks toward one of the unconscious men and sit on top of their body.

"Serafall? That Satan Serafall Leviathan?" Metatron muttered, she was familiar with that name. After all, it was her curiosity that led her to learn more about Magical Girl. But she ended up delving a little too deep into the human culture and grew to becomes obsessed with Ninja. "You don't give me the feeling of disgust, so you can't be devils or half devil. Then, has human magecraft progress to this level in such a short amount of time?"

"That's correct, though I wouldn't considered myself as part of this world magicians. In short, I'm just build different~"

Amidst his sentences, his cat transformation went undone at the latter part. Then Kousuke waves his hand and the two men disappeared from the hotel's floor. He turned around and saw Metatron now flapping her beautiful wings onto the bed, now that her identity had been exposed, she probably thought it doesn't matter anymore. 

"I guess it's nice meeting you, Miss Archangel?"

"Sigh... it's Metatron, so would you mind telling me who you are? I hadn't gone back to Heaven for a while so my news are pretty outdated."

"I'm the new kid on the block so it's rare that you haven't heard of me, Igarashi Kousuke is the name." He said humorously before winking at her. Then his expression turned serious as if all the pretentious energy he had a moment prior vanished in the blink of eyes. "Could you tell me who your client is? I still have to teach them a little lesson for messing with my people."
