I have wrote those in' Author's thoughts. So let us discuss about that after you've finished reading this chapter.

"Ha~ she's a professional alright, if only she was easy to deal with, it would have been nice." Mathew was sitting on his office chair listening to the songs Levinia reni had recorded as per contract, he was awed by her talent in singing. In fact, her voice was even better than most professional singers, yet her extremely free spirited personality was a bit hard to deal with. While Mathew was having these thought, someone knocked on his door and a familiar voice asked for permission for entry, however Mathew could feel another presence outside.

"Enter." Soon after getting the permission, Kalawarna entered his office and an unfamiliar individual was standing behind her. He was a handsome man with blond hair, blue eyes and dressed in priest's clothes, but Mathew couldn't see his face as it was covered behind a cross shapes helmet. It was quite a peculiar attire, but apart from that, there seemed nothing amiss about him.

However, Mathew didn't think so. He could see the golden aura surrounding him, Mathew could feel warmth and gentleness radiating from it.

It was a holy aura, and it wasn't strong, but it was purer than even the high priests he sometimes encountered. But Mathew wasn't bothered by it in the slightest. Ever since He had absorbed Suzaku's fire and his wings mutated, he had gained a strong resistance against holy power that and although pure, it was nothing compared to the aura of archangel Michael, that's why Mathew wasn't hurt in the slightest. In fact, he didn't even feel anything, And much to Mathew's delight, even Kalawarna didn't look much bothered by it.

𝐺𝑂𝑂𝐷. Mathew gave her a silent nod of approval. Mathew then turned his attention to the guest and spoke.

"And who you might be?" Mathew eyed the guest curiously.

"My name is Douma, I am an angel. I came here by the order of lord Michael to take you to heaven my Mathew sama" The angel, Douma then revealed 2 pairs of beautiful white wings and a halo over his head which shone brightly.

"To take me to the heaven, you say…" Mathew carefully observed Douma,

He was a real angel for sure, but the problem was not that but something else. Just because he was an angel didn't mean he was a good guy, after all, there were some angels imprisoned for their sins, and the current Mathew wasn't the one to actively charge into danger without thinking, after all his precious battle in the shrine had thought him a good lesson.

He gave a look to Kalawarna who gave him a nod and transmitted a telepathic signal–' Apparently Michael sama had already informed Azazel sama in advance.'

Mathew gave her a nod in acknowledgment and looked at Douma again as he spoke.

"May I ask why Michael sama is suddenly inviting me?" 𝘐𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪c𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 not me… 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦? 𝘏𝘮… 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵, 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵? Mathew's eyes flashed as he remembered a promise he made to a certain woman, he gave it some thought and then spoke again.

"I understand, let us depart right now. It's not good to make Michael sama wait, is it?" Mathew smiled at Douma who was shocked for a second, but soon his eyes shone in acknowledgment, just like other angels he also didn't like fallen angels much, the same could be said for fallen angels as well, whenever individuals from these groups met they would start bickering like two stray cats.

That's why he came here prepared to deal with a snotty brat, however Mathew's mature and humble attitude greatly increased his perception of Mathew, and for some reason, he didn't find Mathew as unpleasing as other fallen angels in fact, he felt a sort of kinship from him.

Douma began activating his teleportation spell as Mathew stood close to him, however just as they were about to leave, Mathew turned to Kalawarna and spoke.

"Kalawarna I hope you will manage everything well while I am away, I will reward you with anything you like when I come back." As soon as he said that, he disappeared within a flash of light, leaving a sighing Kalawarna behind.

"Sigh, master dumped his share of work on me again." But as soon as she remembered the last part where Mathew mentioned rewarding her with anything she liked, a beautiful smile appeared on her face and she started imagining all sorts of things she could ask from Mathew and for some reason her cheeks started getting painted in a pink hue.

"We are here. I can not go further then this. Please just go straight along the path Michael sama and others are waiting for you." Douma opened the door to the sixth heaven and urged Mathew to go inside, when Mathew went inside he was greatly surprised and his mind was conflicted with many emotions after all the sixth heaven was entirely different from his expectations, although he traveled along the way he saw first heaven, which was most simple of them all, but it was still very impressive with beautiful floating buildings as well as stone paths made of marble, it looked like a fantasy world, the second heaven was even more impressive it was so vast and filled with darkness.

Douma told him this is where the Angels observe the stars and where they confine Angels who have sinned. Following third heaven, where the souls of believers reside as well as the tree of life, though Douma didn't talk much about it, all the floors of heaven were huge as if as big as a whole city, but third heaven looked absolutely boundless, and maybe it really was the fourth heaven with the garden of Eden and fifth heaven which looked like Grigori headquarters with all those angels in lab coats wandering around with a crazed look on their face. That's why he was very exited to see how does the Sixth heaven, home of Seraphs, looks like.

However, the place known as sixth heaven was wholly different from his expectations, this place had floating buildings just like other floors, but these buildings were more of Castles instead of buildings, a massive forest of different flowers and plants with a Lake in its center and some towering ancient trees, all in all, this place looked like a mysterious Elven kingdom.

Mathew was completely dumbfounded, he didn't even notice, and he was already standing below one of the castles at one end of the forest.

As he was staring at this spectacle, a familiar voice called out to him, bringing him out of his trance.

"Ah you are here, Mathew kun."
