Chapter 329 An Angel Descended to My Side
In this vast sky, there lives a world where angels and humans coexist. Humans live happily on earth, while angels roam the heavens—
The parents sitting below the stage looked expectantly at the stage play that was about to begin, and Uchiha Ryo and Yukinoshita were naturally there.
Unfortunately, Hayasaka Ai took leave last week, so only Yukinoshita and Chitanda are attending the elementary school cultural festival today.
"Finally, it's their turn to perform... This morning has been exhausting."
Uchiha Ryo and the others sat in the front row, while Yukinoshita rubbed her aching shoulders. "I'm even more tired here..."
As she spoke, Yukinoshita pulled the excited Chitanda Eru back, gesturing for her to watch the performance quietly.
Yukino was already imagining how excited Chitanda would be during the Hōshin Festival. After all, she had so much fun at the elementary school's cultural festival, and this morning Yukino had been dragged around the entire school by Chitanda.
"You guys had a lot of fun this morning, didn't you? Are you disappointed that Xiaohua didn't see me?" Uchiha Rin had just arrived at the school, and of course, he had spent the morning preparing snacks for Xiaohua.
"That child has been waiting for you, his older brother, but sometimes I really wonder if there's any age gap... Chitanda is able to completely integrate into the thinking of those kids, playing with Hinata and Noa..."
As for Yukino and Hana, they followed behind the three lively characters like parents. To be honest, apart from encountering delicious sweets, Shirasaki Hana's thinking was completely like an adult's; she was very mature.
"Well... Eru, I can roughly guess. Maybe it's because Hana spends so much time with Rumi that she's practically becoming Yukino 3...."
"What number three?" Yukinoshita turned her head away in dissatisfaction.
"It's nothing, let's continue watching the show!"
As the entire hall darkened, a beam of white light shone on Xiaohua, who was wearing a petal cape, until she stood in the center of the stage.
When the cloak is removed, the little flower in her angelic form finally appears, and the story is about to begin.
Uchiha Ryo clapped his hands. "Who wrote the story for the stage play, you guys?"
Yukino shook her head. "This is an original story that their school teacher came up with. I don't know the specifics. Let's just keep reading."
.....
The protagonist of the story (Angel Flower) performs the work of an angel every day, which is to use the arrow of love to deliver love to mortals on earth.
One day, while working, the angel Hana discovered the owner of a confectionery shop (Hoshino Hinata). Hana fell in love with Hinata at first sight and left behind an angel feather as she left.
As Hoshino Hinata picked up the feather, she saw the departing figure of the angel Hana and became deeply curious about the feather's owner.
Can angels also feel love? Xiaohua shot an arrow from the sky to connect the hearts of the two, and then came down to the mortal world under the cover of night, to stand in front of Hinata.
"But... if I'm with you, an angel, I'll die young too. How will you feel then?"
Hinata rejected the angel's advances because she understood that human lifespan has its limits, and unless one surpasses humanity, they would eventually be separated by death.
Angel Xiaohua returned to the Heavenly Realm dejectedly, unaware that her secret descent to the mortal world had already been discovered. However, the kind-hearted Lord of the Heavenly Realm gave Xiaohua a chance.
The only way for an angel and a human to become husband and wife is for the angel to lose his angelic identity, become human, and then cross the mountain range called "Time" to finally reach the mortal realm.
Little Flower's mind was made up. "I'm not going to be an angel anymore, sir!"
The angel eventually lost her wings and came to the snow-capped mountains. She had to cross the mountain range as soon as possible to reach the human world.
Without the protection of the angel's power, Shirasaki Hana could only endure the biting cold and her almost numb legs as she moved forward step by step... This was an opportunity for her, but also a trial!
She accepted this trial of becoming mortal; true growth is about overcoming and surpassing one's past. This doesn't mean mortals are stronger than angels, but simply that Hana's feelings for Hinata surpassed the power of an angel.
Finally, I arrived at the town where I had once descended, and I finally became a mortal who could spend my whole life with Hinata!
So, Xiaohua knocked on the door of the pastry shop.
"May I ask who you are?"
The familiar voice and face did not appear; instead, the person in front of me was a stranger.
"Hyuga..." Hana kept muttering to herself, which was also her belief that allowed her to cross the snow mountain alone with the fragile strength of a human!
"Hinata? You're here to see my grandmother? But I'm sorry, she passed away a few years ago..."
The greatest barrier between angels and mortals is time, which is why the mountain range that can turn angels into mortals is called "Time"... Angel Xiaohua crossed the Time Mountain Range, only to find that decades of mortal life had already been consumed.
In her mortal form, Hana passed away peacefully at the confectionery shop, attended to by Hinata's granddaughter. When Hana's soul ascended to the sky, she was astonished to discover... that Hinata Hoshino, now an angel, had been waiting for her all along.
.....
Yukinoshita applauded sincerely. "In short, as expected of an elementary school stage play, no matter how convoluted the story is, it always ends happily."
Chitanda sobbed with emotion. "Hana acted so well, Ryo-kun! Is your pudding ready?!"
"Of course, it's done now."
Uchiha Ryo stroked his chin. "But... people become angels after they die, so why does Hana have to go through the trouble of becoming human? Wouldn't it have been better to just wait for Hyuga to die?"
Yukinoshita seemed lost in thought. "Perhaps not everyone becomes an angel after death. Hinata might be naturally kind or perhaps blessed by other angels."
"According to this logic, angels first bless a human, then kill her... [The Crash Course Angel Project]!"
Uchiha Ryo's imagination began to run wild. "Human lifespan is limited, so the angels directly bless everyone, then launch a human extermination plan... [All-Angel Route Achieved]!"
"Brother Ling!"
As the stage play ended, Xiaohua quickly ran off the stage and pounced on Uchiha Ling.
"Why didn't my brother come this morning?!"
Uchiha Ryo gently patted Shirasaki Hana, who was still clinging tightly to him. "Of course, it's to make pudding for Hana. The pudding is ready now, and your stage play is over, so let's go eat it together!"
Shirasaki Hana looked up, licking the saliva from the corner of her mouth. "Mmm! I've been looking forward to...brother coming all morning!"
"This child," Uchiha Ryo suddenly thought, and asked Xiaohua.
"Little Flower, if your brother and Pudding fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
Shirasaki Hana was taken aback for a moment, then said seriously, "Of course it's my brother!"
Uchiha Ryo was very touched! She decided to let Xiaohua eat more later, since she had made enough pudding this time.
Shirasaki Hana smiled and said, "I can tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at another!"
