Shido was suddenly summoned to a Neighboring World, and was all alone. Fortunately, the Spirits could go visit him and spend time with him. However, a lot of girls in this world are interested in him too. What will Shido do?
This is the first volume...
Gabriel naturally wouldn't believe what Shido said. After all, it's impossible for ordinary high school students to know so many things.
What Gabriel doubted now was whether Shido had anything to do with what happened a few days ago.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't matter much, otherwise he wouldn't be able to run over directly to make her suspicious.
Although Gabriel didn't plan to continue to be an obedient angel, she still knew the breaking news of the kingdom of heaven. For example, the events a few days ago were very sensational, and she also received related tasks.
"So what? What do you want to know?"
Gabriel asked, in a way not as cute as before. After all, the Tree of Life was a very sensitive topic.
"For example, the specific location of the Tree of Life? And is it possible for me to borrow a part of its power?"
Shido asked directly. In fact, he had also considered the potential consequences, but he was confident that he could defend himself from the angel in front of him.
"I can tell you the location of the tree, but I'm afraid that you can't borrow its power."
Gabriel shrugged. Although it was very important information, she was not afraid to reveal it now.
Shido wanted to ask why, but he endured the curiosity and decided to learn the location of the Tree of Life first, so he asked:
"So, where is the Tree of Life?"
"Tokyo."
Gabriel replied without the slightest hesitation.
"Tokyo?"
Shido looked at the other party questioningly. First, it was too close. Second, Gabriel seemed to answer quite casually. And third, he had been to Tokyo many times and had not seen the tiniest trace of the so-called Tree of Life.
So he couldn't help but ask again:
"How come it's in Tokyo? Isn't it said that the Tree of Life is in the back garden of heaven?"
"For God, the world is his back garden."
Gabriel explained lightly.
"If you put it this way... okay..."
Shido nodded, reluctantly accepting the other party's explanation. He didn't think Gabriel would lie to him. So, he decided to find a time to go to Tokyo and find the Tree of Life.
Gabriel seemed to understand what Shido was thinking, so she sneered and said:
"Actually, it won't do you any good to look for the Tree of Life now!"
"Why not?"
Shido couldn't help but ask.
"I won't tell you."
Gabriel gave a laugh and said again:
"If you want to know more... Have you heard of the term 'equivalent exchange'?"

"What do you want?"
Shido frowned. He naturally knew that it was impossible to get what he wanted for free, so he could only hope that the other party's request wouldn't be too hard.
If it's money, he could give her a lot, but he's afraid that it couldn't be a condition in this regard.
"I hope you can help me investigate one matter. After the investigation is over, you can borrow the power of the Tree of Life!"
Gabriel spoke seriously. In fact, this was a major matter related to the safety of heaven, and no one would have thought that they were discussing such an important matter.
For example, Nanami Aoyama, who just came to work, saw the three of them chatting closely.
That's right, Nanami Aoyama was working in Wagnaria as well, hoping to earn more money for the tuition of her Voice Actress lessons.
She had seen Shido many times, and she knew that he had been to this dessert shop with three girls in total, and each time he ordered the couple's package for them.
And as for the girl in front of him, Nanami Aoyama recognized that she was one of those three.
She didn't know whether she should be thankful or not. On the one hand, no other girls were victimized, but on the other hand, it showed that this girl had not yet escaped from Shido's grasp.
As for the little girl sitting next to Shido, Nanami had no idea who she was, but looking at her clothes, she should be a new employee of Wagnaria. However, she didn't seem to be working, instead, she was chatting with Shido.
Shido was so smooth that he was even after the new waitress?
Nanami frowned. In her opinion, Shido was a dangerous lolicon playboy who would go after any girls that were cute. But the question was: Why didn't he make a move on her?
If Shido wanted to get close to her, then she would have many opportunities to expose his true colors, but he didn't.
Could it be that she was not attractive enough?
Nanami glanced at her outfit suspiciously. Compared to Tohka now, this plain clothes was nothing special. It seemed that it was about time to get dressed up nicely!
Shido naturally didn't know anything going on in Nanami's head, he was more concerned about the conditions that Gabriel just mentioned.
What did the so-called investigation mean? How could he investigate things that even the angels had no idea of?
But Gabriel's words just now seemed to say that as long as he was willing to help with the investigation, he could obtain the information he wanted, and after completing the investigation, he could borrow the power of the Tree of Life.
It doesn't seem like it's a loss!
So, he nodded lightly and agreed:
"No problem, I can help you find out what you want to know, but I can't guarantee 100% whether it will work or not."
"Okay, as long as you investigate, even if you can't find it, reporting some useful news to me on a regular basis can be regarded as fulfilling your promise..."
Gabriel chuckled lightly and seemed quite happy.

In exchange for Shido's help, all she had to give was some common knowledge among angels and demons. In addition, she would have more time to play games and not have to worry about those strange tasks.
"Okay, now you can tell me about the Tree of Life!"
Shido said anxiously, knowing that the Tree of Life was related to the spiritual power in him, which was related to whether the Spirits could stay in this world for a little longer or not.
Therefore, he really hoped to know about the Tree of Life as soon as possible, so as to find a way to take some of its power.
Gabriel nodded lightly and said in a low voice:
"Actually, the current Tree of Life has lost its 'life', and most of its power has disappeared, and no one knows where these powers went...
