The Flower of Virtues

9 - Surhaven

Asuka and her two friends began to pass through some large trees, they used the tree to take cover from Android and the robot who was on patrol, they have found a lot of robots that roam everywhere and that's the sign they find a lot of Guardians who are wandering in the forest. Melantha warns them that all the robots can sense the Guardian's whereabouts but they won't be able to see where the Guardian is.

"Three Guardian existences in the same place, all those robots will clearly sense our existence but they won't be able to find us who are using this white robe." Melantha said, explaining to them that all the robots will definitely go and give up when they do not find the Guardian.

"Their number is more than ten but they are at the lowest level, the lower level knows the weakness of the owner of the flower of virtue. Fire is indeed a very dangerous weakness for the ability of our benevolent flowers." Akina said, Melantha nodded because the flower of virtue will not withstand fire but they can strengthen that ability by focusing their mind on the flower having immunity to fire.

They kept moving around in the forest so as to find some ferocious living creatures, Melantha put them to sleep with the scent of jasmine she released, she said, it's time for them to fly up now that no more robots will visit the territory already checked.

"Like sleepy... has it arrived?" Ask Asuka.

"In a moment we will arrive, one day one trip huh...? We angels also have a limit to keep resting so that the holy energy within us can walk stably." Akina said so that they all started to nod and look at the [Surhaven] village but that village looks like it is guarded by an awful lot of robots.

They landed in front of the village gate and saw an angel who looked sad, "What's wrong with this village? Why so many Android and robots?" Ask Melantha.

"Because Surhaven is a very poor village with needs so all the robots came to fix this village into a city. All the angels who live in this village are forced to work without rest so that the making of the city can go quickly." Said the angel, he got the task to keep guarding the gate so that no one dared to enter.

"That action is coercion, you all must not just stand idly by or technology will only make you addicted!" Akina said that the angel began to point at the three of them using his staff because none of the angels were allowed to interfere and deal with the village that was going through a rebuilding phase.

"We have come to help all of you who look miserable like this-" The angel said nothing, he launched the spear towards their heads but Asuka smashed the spear and tied the body of the angel with the rose root that came out through his two arms, "Asuka wants to enter... Asuka's hungry..."

"Asuka, stop! Don't kill him!" Melantha sees the root trying to strangle the angel to death but Asuka stops tying him very tightly, she just obeys the words of her friend... if they did not commemorate Asuka then she had already killed the angel by piercing his body with a rose root.

"Melantha, what happened to this one guard? He looked sane but now he's trying to kill us all." Akina said she saw Melantha approaching the angel and she took a small card behind the angel's head and showed it to them.

"What's that...?" Akina and Asuka began to approach Melantha to stare at the card, "This is a chip mounted by the angels who are from Technoven. A device that can brainwash someone to force them all to do their job, you see? This angel looks flat even if he attacks us."

"We can all forget our true selves when the angels put these chips on us. Be careful, I'm afraid that all those robots are after the Guardians just to chip them up so that we're all forced to do what they want." Melantha began to tell Akina and Asuka to follow her because they would enter the village by climbing the gate wall because it was not safe inside.

Asuka stared at the two of them innocently, she did not know how to climb so she directly squeezed Akina's butt, "Hyahhh... W-Like, what are you doing...? Not his time..." Akina turned her head down and she saw Asuka who could not climb at all, she began to advise herself to use her two katanas.

"Like this. you are..." Akina smiled and then she tried to chase Asuka, when they had reached the top of the gate wall, they could see a lot of robots watching all the angels who looked like robots, "They've all been affected by that chip, our problems seem to be getting worse." Akina.

"We better leave this village and go straight to the next town-" Asuka starts touching Melantha's lips, "Melantha... Melantha's lips, Asuka dislikes her." The words had a meaning when they heard Asuka's worried voice.

Asuka stared at all the villagers, she wanted to help them all because she herself hated all the technology and robots... he did not want them all to harm his other angels who were living peacefully and carrying out their duties, the fairy told herself to keep protecting all the angels who were trying to live her life in peace.

"What do you mean by that, Asuka...?" Ask Akina.

"Like to protect all angels who live in peace, no robots. There is no technology for angels. Melantha and Akina can leave but Asuka is here to protect them." They were shocked when they heard him, it seems Asuka is really an innocent and kind angel girl if she wants to help them all, Akina would certainly accompany Asuka because she also wants to protect them all.

"I'll be with you too, Asuka, we'll be friends until the end huh?" Akina smiled and she saw Asuka's expression was always the same.she started to think that Asuka was difficult to show her emotions and feelings because she rarely saw herself happy and smiled, he only showed that flat and innocent expression but his manner looked like a happy girl.

They began to stare at Melantha who blushed as she regretted not choosing to help them, "A-Do you guys look around, huh?! What I mean is to go to the next village does not mean to run away, it's just that I want to save them. but..."

"Cup... Melantha is a good angel too huh, can't show her feelings." Asuka said as she stroked her head slowly, if they agreed to help Surhaven village then Melantha had no other choice but to go along with their choice.

"Then... Melantha, do you have any other information about Chip and all those robots?" Akina asked, he started counting all the robots that were guarding every house and door, "Nothing, just that you have to be careful with all the robots. Are you sure to attack them all now?"

"Of course, that technology doesn't deserve angels like us. The angel's job is to increase the sanctity that exists in Xuusuatouri!" Akina smiled and she could see a lot of robots guarding it, her number was about 30 more but they could easily cope with all of them.

"Then one must focus on all the Angels that are already affected by that Chip." All the villagers were already affected by Chip, Asuka brandished her hand as she wanted to deal with all of them, "Like to unplug that Chip."

"Good, I'll give you the Chip I got from that guard so you can compare the Chip." Melantha starts to pick up the Chip she got, suddenly she does not find the Chip so Asuka pats Melantha on the shoulder.

"Like to eat that chip."

""Heh!? You're what!?""
