Seraphim Princess

Chapter 44 - Pouting Times

"Well I think it would be best if we got someone to personalize our training regiments."

"Is that your suggestion Reginleif?"

"Yes?" Reginleif was a bit confused and felt like perhaps she did something wrong by completely denying what was basically her boss.

"Then we'll continue waiting until we can find someone." Cebrail agrees quickly since Reginleif was the one she'd trust in making better plans than herself, though she had already had the idea of waiting until they found a teacher anyways.

Reginleif felt quite validated by this instant acceptance of her words as it was even more clear now that Cebrail took her words seriously.

"Isn't there anything we can do?" Tosca asked a bit desperately.

"Go fight opponents in the wild to get EXP." Cebrail said. "Like when you fought the werewolf."

"We almost died." Reginleif said, pushing up her glasses.

"No you guys definitely weren't even close to dying."

"I'm pretty sure we were."

"I have an idea~" Gabriel pitched in happily. "Tosca you can answer prayers to enhance your Angelic powers along with your body!"

"Hmmm? That's not how it works for me though?" Cebrail said in confusion.

"That's because you aren't a fully spiritual being. You still have to abide by some of the rules of flesh and blood, however Tosca is an Angel and can gain power through faith." Gabriel explained to her daughter with a smile, it wasn't very often that she could be a proper parent and teach her child things. Plus it seemed like Cebrail wasn't as upset anymore.

"And what about me Gabriel?" Reginleif asked hopefully, she had felt her progress stagnating already and it was really putting a damper on her motivation levels.

"I believe normally mages would train in their magic efficiency and control. You should try using a spell that you always have to keep on and focus on while you're doing everyday life activities."

"Like an enhancement spell?"

"Indeed."

"You know about magic mama?"

"Well a bit... you should know about heretics if you want to kill them~" Gabriel avoided mentioning the fact that she learned about magic due to her time with Cebrail's father with a small joke.

"I see as a wise man once said 'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.' That makes sense." Cebrail nods to herself in understanding.

"I see, I hadn't thought of that." Reginleif considered the idea and quickly wrote a rune on her hand.

"Oh M-Mrs. Gabriel where do I get prayers from?" Tosca asks timidly.

Gabriel gives a blank stare with a smile and stops as though someone just hit the pause button on her.

"..."

"Mama?"

"Uhh... hehehe~ Cebrail darling how have you been answering prayers?"

"I take the letters off of your desk since you let them pile up lazily."

Gabriel sweats a bit, "It seems I completely forgot to give you guys a prayer phone. Tee hee~"

"Prayer phone?"

"Yes Raphael thought that letters were too old fashioned so now we use phones."

"Can it play games?"

"I think so."

"Give."

"Adriel." Gabriel calls to her secretary who appeared instantly as he was incredibly used to Gabriel calling him to do a bunch of her work for her.

"Yes Lady Gabriel?"

"Get three prayer phones."

"What? For the kids? Weren't you supposed to give those to them a while ago?"

"I don't pay you to ask questions like that Adriel."

"You don't pay me at all." Adriel said a bit snarkily but left and instantly reappeared with three phones and handed them out to the children.

"I'm not an Angel though..." Reginleif said as she hesitantly took the phone.

"We'll just call you an honorary Angel and call it an exception~" Gabriel winked.

Cebrail instantly opened the phone and was receiving notification after notification. Some of them under the name Gabriel.

"I think people are confusing our names mama." Cebrail said opening the phone and going into the app store.

"It's fine~ you're my representative you know?"

"Is that your way of saying I should continue running errands for you?" Cebrail downloaded a gacha game called 'Doki Doki Harem Life Love' Cebrail didn't exactly enjoy the girls, the guys, or the H scenes but instead the flashy colors of the gacha and her perfectionist instincts drove her to gain everything and complete such a stupid game.

"Muuu~ what does my daughter think of me as~"

"You aren't denying it mama."

"..."

"Reginleif let's go for a walk while Tosca handles a good prayer." Cebrail dropped the topic not actually caring about the extra prayers, she already handled her mothers prayers before so it wouldn't be much different.

"W-Wait miss Cebrail!" Tosca called out as Cebrail took Reginleif by her hand and the two vanished.

Tosca stared at the spot the two girls had been at before a bit desperately. So far she had never been alone as she always had either her senior Reginleif or Cebrail nearby.

"Don't take her leaving so suddenly too seriously. I'm sure you've noticed by now that my daughter can be incredibly dense." Gabriel comforted the child while patting her on the head softly.

The gesture didn't really help Tosca at all as she knew better than to take Cebrail's actions too seriously, the girl was horribly blunt so if she didn't want Tosca around she would simply say so.

Instead what Tosca was afraid of was her own ineptitude. She didn't feel ready at all to go out and do a task on her phone.

*Ding~*

Tosca's phone sounded with a text reading, "King of Hearts has sent you a prayer, Love Love Quest! A teenage girl is struggling with a boy she likes being taken by some wretched succubus!"

Tosca was confused but she could very much tell that this was supposed to be the task she was meant to accomplish.
