"I can imagine. Other than whatever powers he get from being the Messiah, I doubt the angels would just let him die."

Given what Atsuro heard and inferred from, Kazuya's a special case to be a Messiah. He turned his gaze forward, watching where they're walking. It felt almost...a relief, being able to talk about this topic and anything related to it with Naoya. There's really no one else in this world who can understand the context, even if he told them.

"I'd count myself lucky if someone did show up from my timeline, hahah..." Atsuro paused for a moment, as he think back. "Did I learn anything? Well... After he decided to go with my plan and told Remiel, he'd reveal Babel's location to us if there's a guarantee for my plan's success within the time limit. While I'd love to do it myself, I knew I wasn't good enough at the time to handle it fast enough. So we gotta secure your help. I knew that you'd come to us to try and convince Kazuya to come over, so we meet and we overcome your challenge."

There's a pause at that. While that was rather annoying, something seemed to come up in his mind.

"...I don't quite know what it means, but after we beat your challenge and get you to agree to help us, you did say something weird."
