Walking inside the Light Church, Lith saw it to be no different than any church from Earth. There were chairs, statues, a pastor, and worshippers everywhere inside. There was a confession room and also baptism happening.
Lith ignored everything and walked straight towards one of the statues. All statues in all churches of the world, except for the ones in the Vatican, had the Seraphim statues wearing hooded robes. Their faces were covered and only their body's build and wings were visible.
The Seraphim statue Lith walked in front of was of a lady. She was looking down at her hands that were present on the end of a handle of a hammer. The hammer was facing downwards and its handle extended up till the lady's stomach region.
There were a lot of colorful pairs of wings at the lady's back and below the statue, there was a nameplate that read:
Angel of War.
The statue was of none other than the Seraphim, Emilia Liwet, Lith's former teacher and also the revered Angel of War.
There were a few disciples of the sect standing in front of the statue and praying to it. Lith joined these disciples and standing behind the queue, he joined his hands, bowed his head, and started praying to Emilia.
Lith whispered while praying, "oh revered angel, heed the calls of this lowly one. I pray thee, bless thy grace upon this lowly one. I, Lith Evure, pray the Angel of War, to ask for nothing but one single thing."
"Dear angel, last time the pizza thy made was burnt-eth. Thy baking skills is very bad-eth. Thy should learn-eth to bake-eth properly."
"Thy should also…"

Inside the Principal's office.
Emilia was going through a pile of papers and was very busy. She had a lot of work to do and this happened all because she spent a whole month with Lith and didn't work.
Her brows were knitted because there was just too much work.
She had dark circles under eyes and also bags. Her hair was slightly messy and it seemed as if she was very sleep deprived and tired.
Just as she was going through the papers, Emilia suddenly heard:
"...thy pizza thy made was burnt-eth…"
"Huh?" Emilia became confused as she heard a familiar voice in her head.
It was definitely a prayer that someone was doing and because she was a Seraphim who had been living on for many years, her brain automatically filtered all prayers and she only ever heard the most important ones or the ones that were really in need.
There were hundreds of thousands of people praying to her every day. In no way would she be able to fulfill everyone's wishes. So what she did was that she trained herself to not listen to the prayers that asked her for things.
Only the ones that were really in dire needs would have their prayers heard by her.
The next filter she had was the casual prayer filter. This ensured that Emilia didn't hear anyone's prayer who were just talking to her causally because they didn't have anything better to do.
Lith's prayer was not a casual talk, not something that was asking for help, and it also had things in it that made his prayer bypass all filters of Emilia and be heard by her.
Emilia, since she heard something new, she decided to stop her work for a bit and take a break. She closed her eyes and tried to see who it was that was praying to her.
A few seconds later, she heard:
"...the revered one, thy should meet thy handsome student Lith Evure again. Also holy one, thy shirt last time was too tight and thy lowly student felt fear that thy button of shirt can't-eth, hold-eth, onto itself-eth, and the holy one might-eth end up revealing the divine meat buns of the heaven. Oh, revered one… I pray thee…"
Hearing all of this, Emilia's face flushed and she broke the quill in her hand in embarrassment.
"This guy… He… He…" Emilia was breathing heavily because she was simply too embrrassed to say anything.
'W-what in the h-heavens does he mean divine meat– ugh. Why am I thinking of that…' Emilia stopped herself from thinking anything naughty.
But unknowingly, she was already looking down at the buttons of her shirt and realized that they were indeed holding onto their last breath.
Emilia's face turned red even further as she realized this. 'I-I really do need a b-bigger shirt…'

"Focus Emilia, Focus. No need to think of this. Groom yourself again to ignore such shameless prayers."
Emilia decided to ignore Lith's prayers. This guy was simply too shameless!
Who talked like that!? And that too to a Seraphim! In a church! And in front of everyone! Was he out of his mind!? Were there a few screws loose in his head!? Where is her respect for being a Seraphim!? She was an Angel of War, you know!?
Emilia tried her very best to filter Lith's prayer and to not listen to it but it was something very new and it was taking time for her to get used to it.
Add onto that his constant shameless words made Emilia flustered even further and she wasn't able to focus well.
Emilia closed her eyes and raised her fist. She then said with a flushed face and with visible embarrassment,
"I-I… I'll get back to him for it. Surely. Definitely. I will. Humph!"
