An Assistant to the Angel of Death
7

Claude had a chat with Krud last night, leaving him unable to sleep. Various positions that he has done but he still can not fall asleep calmly.

One thing made him very uneasy when Krud said that he was a demon. However, he had never seen a demonic figure during his 18 years of life, but he did not expect that he was the devil himself.

Claude came out of the military camp to get some fresh air. The cold night breeze played Claude's straw-yellow clothes and hair.

"Is this what you expect?" Claude looked at both of his hands. Then clenched his hands and punched the ground. "However you mother, fell in love with a trashy man like him! And I have to endure it all? Very funny Mom!" Claude shouted in the silence of the night. While immersing himself in grief, he recalled the past when he was often subjected to inappropriate treatment by his brothers.

"I'm not Cinderella, that's gonna end happy ending!" As far as Claude's daughter is concerned, her brother and stepmother are just Cinderella. She likens herself to Cinderella, but she is a man, Claude is unlikely to meet a prince who will marry her. In that very messed up mind, when he found out he was a demon.

"Krud I hope you're not lying to me, even if you're an angel with my abilities now that I could have killed you." Claude clenched tightly his hand. Claude was determined to kill Krud if he lied to him.

The dawn began to fall. Soon the eyes of the day will rise, what a very beautiful sight if there. The sky was not yet fully bright black shadow and the sun was a big orange, right in the middle of Claude's view a large wing stretched to cover the beautiful scenery, which was beautiful, but it created a new, much more beautiful shadow.

"Krude!?"

"Claude prepare!" The sharp gaze and aura that was suppressing the air felt extremely frightening. Even Claude was terrified.

"Krud wait a minute!" Claude tried to stop Krud but Krud immediately darted before him.

"Wait for Claude! I've already gotten the order from the gods to make a pact with you!" Krud's shining eyes reflected that light, really making people feel as if they were about to meet their end.

"All right! I'm just asking how do we make the deal?" Claude seems to still be hesitant, but after he remembers Krud killed Espen in the tower. Claude didn't feel bad, he only killed people whose life was up. That means he killed the man who met his end.

"You're this. We just need to shake hands." Krud approached and put his lips to Claude's ear "or do you want something more extreme?" Claude with his reflex instincts instantly turned away from Krud.

"You're so horrible, man. Let's shake hands." Claude smiled faintly at Krud's behavior which had really changed a lot.

They shook hands, instantly a very dazzling beam of eyes had carved a black tattoo with a very simple but quite suitable pattern on Claude's hand.

"What's this?" Claude complains about the tattoo he formed in his hand.

"This is the binding sign you're my babu now. Haha." Krud Laughs big but terrible enough for an ordinary person to hear his laughter.

"You tricked me?" Claude pulled Krud's collar. But he just smiled.

"I told you before to be an angel you need to help me. This is our binding sign. If I renege on your promise I will die as well as you. hehehe." Krud smiled ignorantly looking at Claude who he managed to play with with his words.

"Then what was my first mission?" Claude is desperate to hurry, he wants a normal life back after he can become an angel.

"Win!" Krud said one ambiguous word that made Claude lift next to his eyebrows.

"Win!?"

"Then let's discuss it in my Camp."

Claude immediately walked towards his camp while Krud folded his wings and followed Claude from behind.

"Krud, according to your request I've learned a lot from the book you gave." Claude started their initial conversation.

"That means you're not stupid anymore huh, what a pity." Krud at first he wanted to joke but his flat and cold voice and tone made the joke nothing like a joke.

"Hhh, it's a good thing I've been able to control my emotions." Claude laughed wryly at Krud's ridicule of How Claude had been in the past.

Unwittingly they have arrived in front of Claude's camp. They enter the camp immediately, but before that Claude tells someone to pathetic warm coffee for him.

"Have you been okay for a few years? I forgot that my magic wasn't enough to make you a smart guy at one time. Maybe your head will feel pain a few years ago." Krud explained what he only explained a few years ago.

"Haha, you son of a bitch. Tell me earlier dong, I thought I had a chronic illness when my head hurt." Claude sat down at his desk. While looking at the map he stretched a month in front of the generals.

"Do you know what the Tarten army's strategy is?" Claude asked Krud. Does he know the strategy Tarten made before.

A waitress with her blushing face suddenly walked into Camp Claude carrying the cup of coffee that Claude ordered.

"This is the coffee, sir!" Sahut the girl while looking down respectfully at Claude and came back out with his tramp before Claude called him back.

"Hey, girl with two pigtails!" Claude called the girl with a strange-sounding name.

"Hey, can't you call a woman right?" Krud whispered to Claude.

"Shut up!" Claude told Krud to shut up.

"Hoho, how dare you tell the angel of death to be silent."

"What's your name?" Claude ignored Krud and asked the girl who brought him the coffee.

"My name's Erina!" The girl blushed in embarrassment while saying her name.

Claude pulled the girl's hand. "Here come with me!"

"Hey-hey, don't be so aggressive with women!" Krud tries to tease Claude, who is pulling the girl into his camp.

"Silent Krud! I have one plan." Claude tried to discipline Krud who kept teasing him.

"Hey, do you know what the current war situation is?" Claude spoke with a face so close to the girl, that it left the girl speechless and her face only grew red.
