I Was Just an Ugly Girl, But in Another World They Call Me an Angel - 11 - Verzel Perspective ~ The Day the Demon Fell in Love ~

―How delightful.

To think you would glare at me like that.

Shaking, yet without sword or magic, with those earnest eyes.

But―I was pierced by that light.

I never expected such a pure radiance to exist in this tainted land.

It was as if a light had descended from a distant sky.

A blade named “purity” that I had long forgotten.

…Kanako.

I hadn’t introduced myself, had I?

Yet, I knew.

The foreign girl who appeared in this land―her name, her face, her voice.

Surprised?

Of course. But don’t misunderstand.

This is not a coincidence.

From the moment you were summoned, my network was already in motion.

When I heard that “someone” had appeared in this world,

I investigated that existence.

Her name, her background, every word she spoke.

The purpose was singular―to crush the seed of threat.

Yet, those eyes I beheld threw my judgment into disarray.

It wasn’t in the reports.

I had no idea she possessed such a clear light.

That it could―pierce my heart so deeply.

Fate? Don’t make me laugh.

This is my “choice.”

That you stood here,

That I captured you with these eyes―

Everything is the result I desired.

…Ugly?

Yes, I am what they call a “monstrosity.”

But I have never felt shame.

I have not fallen.

It is this world and humanity that have fallen.

And that’s fine.

Even if this body should fall to the ground― I will claim you.

“Those eyes of yours, I will never let them be directed at anyone else. I will take them. …Kanako.”

This is a vow.

Now that I have come to know you― there is no turning back.
