Even the fact that the failure penalty was a retest rather than a discard was so Ilya-like that it gave me goosebumps.
Wait a second. I? Why is this attached there? I have to wake up from the dream quickly, but how long will it take to finish reading these books?
Ilya remained silent for a moment as I tore off my hair and grumbled. He then made a very generous offer. “You can ask me anything that is difficult to understand.”
I didn’t appreciate it at all. Wait, is this a good opportunity to stick with Ilya under the pretext of studying? Being away from him in this utterly hopeless situation was not good.
I asked with a pitiful look as I embraced the books. “Then can I read them here? If I don’t ask questions right away when I don’t know something, I might forget it.”
Ilya nodded as I confidently uttered the nonsense. “That makes sense. Just do it.”
“…Thank you.”
Having easy permission to stay in the office is nice, but he’s strangely annoying.
Knock, knock. Then, the knock rang out in the office.
“Come in.”
As soon as Ilya’s permission was given, the angel who opened the door and came in was none other than Delios. After politely greeting Ilya and glaring at me momentarily, he delivered his business.
“I brought Doctor Marin here after hearing that Lord Ilya had returned to the central headquarters.”
“Ah, I said I was going to the Tower of Light, but I forgot.”
“Marin is waiting outside, so I’ll let the low-level angel out and bring him in right away. You should get a checkup,” said Delios, trying to hide the expression on his face that he was anxious to get me out.
I was planning to leave even if you didn’t say that.
The atmosphere of heaven could change depending on Ilya’s health. Since it was such a confidential matter, so it was right for me, who was just a low-level angel, to stay outside.
Ilya said when I got up and tried to get out past Delios. “Stay here.”
“Yes?”
“What?”
Both Delios and I were surprised by his words.
“Tell Marin to come in.”
I couldn’t sit on the sofa again or go out, so I was standing in an awkward position.
Delios was hesitant, but he followed Ilya’s order. Soon, Marin, an angel with fluffy, messy hair, came into the office with cheerful steps as if hopping.
“It’s been a while since you called me, Lord Ilya!”
He was an overly lively angel to be by Ilya’s side, who was like a cyborg.
“Your step.”
When Ilya said a word, Marin came up with a calm step. Then he discovered me and was very surprised.
“Oh my, you’re that low-level angel, aren’t you?”
How far did the rumor spread?
When Marin was distracted by me, Ilya bluntly called his name. “Marin.”
“Gasp, I’m sorry. For an angel, I have a rather curious personality.”
Yes, I know that well. I smiled as if it was okay because I liked that kind of carefree Marin.
“But I’m sure I’m good at one thing. Shall we look at the status now?”
Marin took out his stethoscope, checked Ilya’s condition, and tilted his head. “I don’t feel anything usual. Are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
“It was for a moment, but I suddenly heard tinnitus and had a hard time breathing during a meeting. My senses became strange too.”
Ilya suddenly stared at me and continued. “Then, the moment I came into contact with that low-level angel, my symptoms completely disappeared.”
Then, everyone in the office looked at me.
“…I didn’t do anything though?”
Ding!

[Sickness that can be caused by contact? This works. This stock is going skyrocket.]
Marin looked at me with interest and pointed to the seat next to Ilya. It seemed to mean to sit down. “May I check Lady Theresa’s condition by any chance?”
“Yes, go ahead.”
I sat awkwardly next to Ilya in a position with only the end of my hip uncomfortable. Marin examined me and made his lips into a triangle as if he felt strange.
“Hmm. That’s weird. I don’t feel anything special…”
He took turns checking me and Ilya, then suddenly rummaged around in subspace and pulled out something. It was a rectangular parallelepiped machine with a panel that said 000. Looking at its appearance, it looked like a flip clock or hygrometer.
Delios looked at the situation and asked curiously. “Isn’t that a test for the imprint matching rate?”
“That’s right!”
“Why are you taking it out now?”
[The Constellations are curious about the imprint matching rate.]
Imprint matching rate. That literally meant the probability of success when attempting to ‘imprint’. The imprint was the act of angels bonding with each other’s souls to greet a companion that would be with them for the rest of their lives. There was a reason for such an act. Because you have to imprint to get pregnant.
Angels are usually born as fruits from the celestial tree, but archangels are born only through pregnancy and childbirth. There is also a condition that one of the angels who will become the parents must be an archangel.
A matching rate of at least 80% was required to be imprinted. However, the higher the angel’s ranks, the more difficult it is to achieve a good match rate. In the case of archangels, it rarely exceeded 50%. This is why the birth of an archangel is rare. In particular, Ilya was famous for having an all-time low imprint matching rate.
Angels live for a very long time, but they don’t live forever. Therefore, angels hoped that a generational change would occur someday and that an excellent angel like Ilya would become their companion to give birth to a new archangel.
It’s like a racehorse.
Anyway, The maximum value that could appear on the matching rate tester was 100. The matching rate will be 99% when you play normally as Libby. 100 was a number that actually existed but couldn’t be produced. Because it was set up that way.
Delios crumpled his face like a person who was insulted by Marin’s act of taking out an imprint-matching rate tester. “Do you really think this low-level angel can become Lord Ilya’s companion?”
Ding!

[Huuuuu (inhale) Haaaaa (exhale) Huuuuu (inhale) Haaaaa (exhale) Huuuuu (inhale) Haaaaa (exhale).]
Marin said, scratching his head. “I’m not sure, but from reading old literature, it said that when you meet a partner with a high imprint matching rate, a special phenomenon can occur.”
“A test of matching rate between the archangel and low-level angel? This is unprecedented.”
Ah, really. Not everyone agrees on that. I don’t want to do this test either.
Ilya waved his hand to Delios, who was frustrated. “I don’t care. Let’s proceed.”
The status of the archangel and low-level angel cannot be compared at all, so even when tested, the matching rate wouldn’t even rise to 1%. But why do I feel like something is going to pop up…?
“Then, could you both put your fingers on the test machine and let the mana flow?”
Ilya and I placed our fingers at the same time and infused our mana. Tadadadadak! The machine responded immediately as if it had been waiting for this moment. The three-number panels started spinning like crazy at the same time.
“What’s wrong with this?”
Tak! Soon, the panel stopped working.
999.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
When something unbelievable happened, a heavy silence fell on the office. Even Ilya wiggled his eyebrows while he was looking at me.
I don’t know what kind of situation this is, but could you please stop looking at me with such suspicious eyes?
Martin said, “What’s wrong with this? Did it get broken since it had been long since I used it?” he shook and tapped the test machine and then awkwardly suggested. “Uh… um, shall we try again.”
“Sure.”
So, we tested the matching rate again.
999.
“O-one more time.”
999.
“…I’ll take out another machine. If you try this, you will get an accurate value.”
999.
“Why is this happening?!”
I tested the matching rate several times, but the results were all 999.
Delios, who seemed couldn’t stand it, opened his mouth. “Is this just right?” He, who seemed to deny me more fiercely than anyone else, spoke surprisingly reasonably. “If the same value keeps coming out even after changing the test machine, wouldn’t it be right to think this is a valid result rather than a failure?”
“That’s right…?”
Delios’s eyes began to grow curiously eager. “No matter which female angel he tested with so far, the maximum rate was only 49%, but then the result was like this…!”
At the same time, the way looked at me made me feel like he was admiring, saying, ‘They said even the beetle’s poop has a talent for rolling, and it turns out to be true.’
Even the fact that the failure penalty was a retest rather than a discard was so Ilya-like that it gave me goosebumps.
