Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 8: The Sudden Battle

"Look.... Grandfather.", call Luna, walking towards her grandfather's room.

Luna opened the door to her grandfather's room and went inside with Trevy.

"Lho. Where's grandpa?".", as Luna throws her eyes in the room.

"Your grandfather must be out, Luna" Trevy said.

"Hm. It's."

They both came out of the room. A woman was heard rushing down the stairs.

"Lunaa", call the woman, while heading to Luna and Trevy. "I forgot to tell you, grandfather was in the city hall, probably talking to other higher-ups about something" the woman continued.

"Sir Yunaa?. Didn't you just say you were working on something above?", asked Luna.

"Hm. Yes, brother is done with the business of brother.", said the woman named Yuna, while raising a smile.

Yuna is the older sister of Luna. A mature woman with a wide pony tail with a wavy end. The color is also golden yellow.

"Md. What is the old grandfather, sis?", asked Luna.

"Not too long. Maybe he'll be here soon. Oh yes, Luna said Luna brought a friend who was waiting outside. Why not just ask to come in?."

"Can?. I thought it was forbidden to bring her in" said Luna, her eyes wide open, with a smile on her lips.

"Why can't it?. Of course you can, if it's your friend, Luna", said Yuna then walked towards the exit.

"Anu...Brother Yuna", Trevy opened his voice but hesitated.

"Hm?"." Yuna responded to Trevy's small voice, but Yuna was at the door.

"Yes Trevy?".", Yuna asked with gentle intonation as she turned to Trevy.

"Actually, the friend Luna brought was a human."

Yuna was a bit surprised to hear Trevy's words, Yuna opened the door. He straightened his head and looked straight at Devan.

Yuna was fixated for a long time looking at Devan. So did Devan who looked towards Yuna as soon as the door was opened.

"Sir Yunaaa.", said Zeya. He who had previously sat hugging his knees in the grass was now standing.

Yuna's attention was diverted to Zeya's sahutan.

"Zeyaaa?. Why sit there?, why not just come in?", Yuna said gently to Zeya.

"Yes I was lazy to meet the old man" said Zeya, walking closer to Yuna.

"Zeyaa!. said like that is not good.", angry Yuna gently, the look on her face slightly pouted.

"Eventually grandfather in the academy always punished me. And with Luna and Trevy, he was so good" said Zeya. He stopped his steps. His hands folded in front of his chest while throwing his face away.

"Hmm, that's because Zeya likes to make trouble in the academy. Just try Zeya more obedient, grandfather definitely will not make you stand on one leg.", said Yuna, smiling gently at Zeya.

"Huh!, he even told me to stretch out my hands and put the books along my arms" added Zeya.

"Xixi, what the fuck. Is it a clothesline?, a scarecrow?. Hah!.", Devan chuckled, as soon as he regained his senses, his thoughts leaked out through his words.

"Hummmmmm!!!".", Zeya growled while staring at Devan.

Seeing this, Devan immediately turned away from Zeya, and tried to act ordinary.

Zeya then stepped strongly towards Devan. Yuna who was looking at Zoya's behavior started to worry. After arriving beside him, he kicked Devan's leg shin with all his might.

"Aaaw.!", cried Devan but not to the point of shouting. He fell down while holding one of the shins in his leg.

Yuna was shocked, she covered her mouth with both hands. Zeya again stepped firmly into his original place while posing the same as before.

Luna and Trevy then appeared from inside the door.

"Devan, what are you doing?", asked Luna who saw Devan curling up.

Hearing Luna's voice, Devan turned her body to face Luna.

"Aaa,,, I'm sleeping. It turns out that the grass here is so comfortable" said Devan while sitting. He tried to fake his face to look fine.

"mmmmmmm. Oh yes devan, my grandfather is out, but I intend to meet you with him. Let's go in, Zeya, let's wait inside.", take Luna.

Zeya stepped into Luna. As for Devan, he looked towards Yuna. Yuna looked awkwardly uncomfortable after hearing Luna's words, but still held back her smile. Yuna does not want to ban Luna, but also hesitates to let Devan in. Devan understands Yuna's situation.

"I think it's more convenient if we wait outside, Luna. I'm already comfortable sitting here, it feels lazy to stand up again", said Devan smiling to Luna. He also tried to steal the opportunity to stroke his shins that hurt because of Zeya's kick.

Yuna who had been looking down was not necessarily in the direction, now she was looking towards Devan.

"Devaaan, you're apparently a slacker" said Luna then he walked towards Devan. "Hmm, because of you we're waiting outside" continued Luna, she dropped her knees slowly sitting on the grass facing Devan.

Devan smiled slightly as he sighed too.

Zeya and Trevy then sat down near Luna, they started their conversation. Devan flung himself while turning his body in another direction. As for Yuna, sitting at the side of Luna and her comrades was some distance away. He watches Devan and sees Devan still enduring the pain thanks to Zeya's powerful kick on his leg's shin.

A few moments have passed. The sun rises almost parallel above the head. But because of the shade of the big tree house, blocking the heat and light so as not to hit them.

At that time, three men came to them.

The first man was a responsible man. His hair was short with his front hair falling over some of his eels. It also has sharp eyes. From his stature he was the same age as Luna and her friends.

Among them stood in the middle of a long-bearded old man. Her hair is long back. The old man had a very tall body more than the two men who were by his side. And also he looks very charismatic, making who sees it will be polite.

The three men had the same characteristics as the other fairy nation. Their hair is golden yellow and wears white dominant clothing with long trousers. Some wear long-sleeved button suits, some wear sleeveless clothes, and others wear long-sleeved clothes down.

"Grandfather.!", Luna stood up from her seat, ran and hugged her grandfather.

"Are you okay, Luna?"." asked grandfather.

"Hm. I'm fine", Luna spoke as she hugged and raised her head to look at her grandfather's face. But his words stopped, when he saw his grandfather's face with a smile that did not manage to hide his lethargy in Luna's view.

"Grandfather, what are you?", asked Luna.

Grandpa didn't say anything. He just sighed.

Grandpa Luna then threw her gaze towards the crowded courtyard of her house. At that time, he also saw Devan who had just stood up from his fall.

Luna's grandfather who had my eyes fixed before instantly turned his eyes wide open. Devan's appearance looks very striking in the neighborhood, with all-black clothes and jet-black hair between fairies dressed in white with golden yellow hair.

Luna who realized that also began to explain to her grandfather.

"Oh yes cake. He is Devan. A good human being" said Luna while smiling at her grandfather. Grandpa Luna just looked flat at Luna.

The grandfather then held onto both arms of Luna who was hugging him, and slowly released his embrace from her.

"Hm?".", Luna voiced out in astonishment. Grandpa Luna just walked past Luna in the follow of the two men by her side. Now Luna turned around and saw her grandfather walking in front of her.

Grandpa Luna stopped after walking a few steps.

"Yuna, Trevy, Zeya, get away from it!", Grandpa Luna ordered. They immediately got out.

Luna who saw that felt puzzled and astonished.

Devan who saw the situation felt that everything would be fine. He was also unconsciously alert.

The situation suddenly quieted for a moment.

"Reyn!".", said Grandpa Luna. Instantly the adult man by his side moved forward towards Devan, causing dust and a momentary roar of wind.

In speed, the adult man clenched his right hand, then smashed it towards Devan's chest.

"TASSS!!!", a loud voice sounded. Suddenly the adult man was where Devan was standing before, while Devan knew that he was stranded in the grass until some parts of the grass were damaged.

Devan's body slowly stopped slamming and stopped with his body and face slumped to the ground. He was thrown far out of the shade of the tree house even close to the edge of the cloud.

After all that happened, everyone reacted in surprise.

"Devaan!!!.", Luna shouted. He ran past his grandfather to Devan.

"Luna.!", call Yuna. He ran quickly to Luna then held her arm so as not to approach Devan.

"Sir Yunaa, Let go!!".", said Luna while trying to escape from Yuna's grasp.

"Sir Yunaaaa!!!".", said Luna with a tone of restraining cry.

Luna fell on her knees to the ground unable to escape from Brother Yuna. The crying broke too.

"Kakeeeek, Devan's not wrong, cake. Luna asked him to come here", said Luna while sobbing in her tears.

Yuna could not bear to see Luna crying to the point of sobbing. He lowered his knees and hugged Luna from beside him.

Reyn, the name of the adult man, had yet to distract him, nor had Grandpa Luna been paying attention.

Shortly thereafter, Devan slowly rose from his fall without a hint of injury. But his left palm contained a reddish fist and emitted smoke. He also scolded it.

Luna who saw Devan rise immediately stopped her crying, but she was still sobbing.

Reyn again moved quickly towards Devan instantly, sending a fist from below towards Devan's jaw. But Devan rewinded his head and was spared.

Reyn immediately greeted the fist from above with his other hand. Devan could not dodge, he reflexively brushed the punch with his arm aimed the opponent's punch to the side of his face.

Just now Devan managed to pull over, the collar of his shirt was already in the grip with the hands of the other opponent. Drawn down, Reyn raised his knee, Devan held back with his palm.

The hand that was pulled over, quickly held the thumb of the opponent who gripped, then in his jolt came out. Devan then pushes his body backwards with the hand holding the opponent's knee.

Reyn continued to attack quickly, with various movements, as well as Devan just continued to dodge and fend off with agile attacks.

("Until when do you keep avoiding?, huh!.")

Suddenly there was a voice in Devan's mind. Amid the busyness of Devan who continues to avoid, suddenly some of his limbs seemed to move on their own.

Devan, who kept retreating in the fight, immediately one of his legs advanced, nudging the opponent's quick steps from the inside.

Reyn did not have time to react, he quickly fell forward. However, Devan's fist response from below led to his face.

Devan jerked his fist with all his might.

"Krek!", a crack rang out. Devan's fist was sticking out Reyn's nose. It was thrown far through the shade of the dense foliage of the tree house.

After taking off that fist, Devan breathed in a frown. He dropped his hand. The hands and fingers trembled, and the tip of his fist was very red.

Everyone was stunned to see their fight. While Devan, also more astonished who did not expect his ability.
