p1
>>That popular work's
>>new serialization...

>Devils and angels are enemies.
>They'll never understand each other.

>That's what I thought.

>>These two, looking at each other while back-to-back are...

p2-3
>Until I met you, that is.

>>The long-awaited comicalization of illustrator rurudo's original character novel!!!!

>>Angel (good) and devil (evil). When these two meet, the world will change...

p4
>This is a miniature garden
>where a single queen
>has brought her people
>100 years of blessings and fortune.

p5
>H...m?

>That was a weird dream...

>Queen?
>Miniature garden?

>Even though I had that overtime yesterday... It doesn't feel like I got any sleep.

p6
>Good morning, Miss El!

>Did you sleep well?
>Oh, Luna.
>Not at all, sadly.

>I had this strange dream that gave me bad vibes.

>Oh... A nightmare, huh...

>Wanna fluff my tail?
>Eh?

p7
>Ah... Hmm...

>That would be soothing...
>but I'd just get addicted to it, so I'll pass.
>Oh come on!
>My fluffiness is my one purpose in life...

>The feelings are enough.

>If you ever need it, feel free to fluff me at any time!
>Okay, I got it.

p8
>So, what business brings a beastkin all the way to the angel lodge?
>Did something happen?

>Nah, I'm just serving as a gofer like every other day.
>Tis the sad fate of a beastkin.
>I see... Thanks for all the hard work.

>You're the only one who shows me pity, Miss El.
>Should I get you something?
>I can at least put out some cookies.

>No, don't mind me.
>Also, I'm sorry.
>I've been talking a bit too much.

>Please get changed quickly.

>Chief Shalena is calling for you.

p9
>Our dignity
>as the Angel Police is being questioned.

>My excellent compatriot, El Fractia.
>If this world were to be made into a miniature garden,
>can you name all the species that would dwell in it?

>Yes.

p10
>First, there's us angels,
>then our enemies, the devils,

>our subordinates, the beastkin,

>out allies, the vampires,

>and the pitiful humans.
>That's all.
>Five species in total.

p11
>Correct.
>Even among those five, angels stand at the top.

>We're in a position where we should be controlling order
>and keeping the other species in check.

>And yet look how things are!

>Are you familiar with the failed capture of "Eve the Getaway Wing"?

>Yes.
>She's a devil who keeps evading arrest for minor crimes
>and is looking for face fifty years if caught.

p12
>If I recall, the failure in capturing her this time around involved the angel in charge bringing out a wide-area angelic weapon without permission,
>leading to human casualties...
>No need to concern yourself with that.

>I couldn't care less about the humans.

>If we continue to let "Eve the Getaway Wing" roam free, it'll bring down the angels' good name.

>Therefore,

p13
>El Fractio, elite of the Angel Police,
>I'm putting you in charge of this case.

>Make sure you capture "Eve the Getaway Wing".

p14
>Hah...

>Cleaning up other people's mess again.

>You'd think human casualties
>would be a bigger problem that capturing Eve the "Getaway Wing"...

>...Hm?

p15
>I heard that they sent out the elite since we're so incompetent.
>Thanks for the hard work.
>Here's hoping you don't come back this time.

>She's always by herself.
>Who does she think she is?

p16
>Slum Town

>Being alone
>is still better than being incompetent.

>Now then.
>My policy is to fulfil my mission perfectly, no matter what it is.

>Let's get searching.

p17
>All my colleagues in the Angel Police
>are just so lazy.

>Angels are a superior race.
>Even I won't deny that fact.

>Even so,
>that privilege comes with responsibility.

>Protecting law and order
>is my duty alone.
>I won't let any crimedoers I've been assigned to get away.

>I couldn't care less about the humans.

p18
>I can't let there by any other casualties.
>I need to finish this quickly.

>I guess finding "Eve the Getaway Wing"
>isn't gonna be that easy, huh...
>...Hm?

p19
>EEEEEP!!
>That's it... Be more afraid... Please... Ah, I mean,
>BE AFRAID!

>?
>Be afraid?

>Ah!

p20
>!?

>?

>Ah...
>Erm, could you... be agraid?

>I...
>I don't want to...

>Um, er... I won't hurt you! Just please be afrai-...
>...

p21
>!?

>KYAAAH!
>Eeep!

>Found you!
>Eve the Getaway Wing!

p22
>Uuh... What gives?

>Obtaining substenance by scaring innocent humans is against the law!
>You won't get away on this angel's watch!

p23
>An angel?

>...So pretty.

>Why thank you.

>Wait... Y-You're with the police!?
>Exactly.
>Remember the name of the angel who caught you.

>I'm El.

p24
>The elite of the Angel Police,
>El!

p25
>...The bell rings, the curtain rises,
>and it begins.

>What begins,
>Lady Jane Doe?

>Everything.

p26
>"Eve the Getaway Wing".

>You fled from the boundaries of militant devils ruled by nobles
>and reappeared as a tramp in the human slum town.

>Your crime was "nourishing yourself by scaring humans".

>Although,
>"the victims ended up with so much energy
>and became more relaxed than before the incident".

>Th-That's right!
>I'm trying not to do anything wrong...

>However!

p27
>Those minor crimes pile up into a major one.
>You've broken out of jails a few times too.

>That's cos
>the Angel Police are devilishly strict
>and treat me badly. It's scary...

>As if I would listen to the words of a criminal!
>Hmhmm
>That's why they sent me, El Fractia,
>to nab a weakling like you.

p28
>Eep!!

>Don't move.

p29
>I know all your tricks.
>I've memorised all the documentation.

>Wh-What's with this girl...?
>She's not like the other angels...

>Don't lump me with my incompetent colleagues.

>N-NOOOOO!

p30
>Don't run away!

>I'm sorry!
>Forgive me! I'll do anything!

>Then let yourself be caught!
>Anything but that!

>Then don't say you'll do "anything"!

p31
>Now then,
>this is it.

>Unus!!

p32
>A summoned beast!
>Just like the intel said!
>Now come at me!

p33
>I see right through you!

>Later!

>Ng...!

p34
>Duo!
>Trio!
>Quattuor!

>Exactly as I calculated!

p35
>!?

p36
>Now way...

>This much is too easy.

>I don't want to hurt you!

>Worry about yourself!

>Uuh!
>Quinque!
>Sex! [tn: behave yourselves]
>Septum!

>You don't know when to give up!

p37
>Octo!
>It'll hurt if it eats you!
>Please give up and run away!

p38
>Is that all?

>How did that thing not bite you!?

>This angel is scary!
>Don't run!

p39
>Now, show me.
>The limits of a weakling.

>Uuh...

>Novem!

p40
>The documentation didn't mention a ninth one!
>So you've been pushed this...
>far?

>A beast made up of both holy and evil attributes?
>Can devils even summon something like this?
>Eve, just what are you?

p41
>I didn't want to have to summon this one either!
>So please retreat before you get hurt!

>Hah!
>What a joke!

>Kwaaaah!

p42
>...No effect.
>Its skin is tougher than I expected. Even a shotgun wouldn't penetrate it...

>Do you get it now? Novem is strong!
>So please run away quickly! It'll be really bad if you get hurt!
>In that case!

p43
>!?
>I'll just surpass it!

>...So pretty.

p44-45
>My Queen, I know not thy name.
>....Eh? H-Huh?
>What are you...
>But I beseech thee to take thy seat.
>Be blessed. Be blessed. Be blessed.

>A blessing

p46-47
>on thy sin!

p48
>How about that?
>Uuh. How cruel...

>You've got guts to be standing after all that, for a devil at least.

>...Thanks.
>That wasn't a compliment...

>...
>...I...
>Sorry, but it's time we ended this little dance...

p49
>Deum.

>!?
>A tenth one!?
>I can't bring out my guns anymore, but I can still win. I just need to watch closely and...

>...
>?

p50
>Go!

>Ah!

>She...
>She...

>SHE GOT AWAAAY!!!

p51
>Haaaah

>But... it's been a while since someone's managed to put up a fight against me.
>And also...

>I don't want to hurt you!

p52
>What a weird devil she was. Eve the Getaway Wing.

>You're on!

>She's sure to be a worthy opponent!
>Besides,

>I can't leave this
>to the other angels!

p53
>Eve the Getaway Wing.
>I will catch you with my own hands.

>At that time, I couldn't have predicted
>that the two of us, angel and devil, criminal and cop, two complete opposites,
>would become buddies.

>>Overcoming races, light and darkness mix together.
