The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

As soon as Otaros retreated into his sanctuary and took out the lush, shimmering cotton candy to unwrap, he heard the corrupting, demonic call of Koltamar.

He quickly popped the candy into his mouth, then hid the rest before opening the sanctuary door:

"what?"

Koltamar stretched out her wings in front of him: "My feathers have grown back! Come with me to the Holy War!"

His gaze fell on Ortalos's back: "Hey? How come your wings have grown back too?"

Ortaros pulled him into his sanctuary, and after sealing it off, he said, "Of course it's because of the candy I gave you that you were able to grow back so quickly!"

"Sugar?" Koltamar covered her mouth. "Oh no, we've been exposed!"

"Stop pretending! Those are magical candies that can make feathers grow quickly! They're made from rare pure light-attribute materials!" Otaros said.

"I only tried it because I sensed the light elemental power on the candy," Cortama explained.

“Oh.” Ortalos didn’t believe his excuse at all.

“Oh, none of that matters. Now that my feathers have grown back, and are even fuller than before, can you accept my challenge now?” Kertama said.

"Dream on! This effect will only last for half an hour!" Ortalos said. "After half an hour, you'll be that bald angel who needs white rock powder to cover your flesh color again."

"Huh?" Koltamar suddenly felt a chill on his wings, and when he looked down, his soft white feathers had disappeared again!

“See!” said Ortalos, “It’s time.”

Cortama: "Quick, quick! Ortaros, do you have any more candy? Give me another one!"

"I don't even have enough for myself! I want to go down to the mortal realm to buy some myself!" To let Cortama experience the same frustration he felt, Otaros gave her the exact address: "It's from a magical candy shop at the intersection of Everlasting Radiance Road and Nightless Road in the Holy City. It's called Lush Radiance Cotton Candy."

"How valuable can things from the lower realms be? Especially since they're from the Holy City. You just have to stand in front of those fanatics and they'll give you everything they have," Kortamar said dismissively.

“That’s a witch’s shop! How could it be run by fanatics!” Ortalos said.

“Witches!” Cortama frowned. “Witches are indeed tough nuts to crack, but it’s not like you’re here to preach. It’s just a matter of getting some candy. Just send the fairy messenger to steal all her stock!”

"If you're so good, then you go!" Ortalos said irritably.

Would he be polite if he could steal from him? This guy is seven or eight places lower than him, which makes perfect sense.

"Go then!" Cortama focused his attention on his fairy messenger, sending it to the Magic Candy House at the intersection of Everlasting Radiance Road and Nightless Road in the Holy City.

"The lush, shimmering cotton candy... found it!"

"Huh? Why can't I get it on?"

"A spatial barrier? Goodness, they're really going all out!"

"Hey? There's candy in there too!"

"Fairies of Light and Shadow and thieves are forbidden from entering? I'm going to go in and steal everything from you anyway!"

"This...what is this?"

"Help--"

Cortama's vision went black as her consciousness returned to her body: "Is she crazy?! Such tight security, just to guard a few candies? My fairy messenger! It cost me so much of my source power! How long will it take to raise another one?!"

Seeing his miserable state, Ortaros felt his anger at losing the fairy messenger subside somewhat: "If you want candy, you'll have to go down to the mortal realm and buy it yourself. Oh, and you still owe me a piece of candy, remember to pay me back!"

"Looking like this, going to the mortal realm will influence the faith of the angels!" Koltamar said. "Give me two more candies, I'll be right back!" "I'll lend you one, but when you come back, return it along with the previous one, otherwise... I'll post your bald picture on the Holy War Altar as a negative example!"

Ortaros pulled out a camera at some point and snapped a picture of him.

With his weakness exploited, Cortama took the candy that Otaros had lent him and flew to the Nether Portal.

At this moment, in the Magic Candy House, Moran had just slapped a light and shadow fairy who was trying to steal something to death.

Killing a thief might feel good for a moment, but facing the accusations and nagging of the hermits will lead to a funeral.

The hermit said, "That is a spirit of light! How could you kill it? The light will blame you for this!"

Moran: "It's not a spirit of light, it's just a thief."

The hermit said, "Don't misunderstand the Fairy of Light and Shadow because of those false rumors!"

Moran: "If it wasn't a thief, why would it sneak in instead of queuing up with you all to buy candy?"

The hermit said, "It's just being mischievous!"

Moran: "Don't worry! Light can expose all darkness. If I really did something wrong, I'm willing to face the judgment of the light. But I'm fine now, which proves that I did the right thing, doesn't it?"

The hermit: "...I still think you shouldn't have killed it!"

Moran: "I simply returned it to the embrace of the light."

Hermit: "You killed it!"

Moran: "Are you going to exchange your candy coins or not? If not, then leave! It's almost closing time!"

Hermit: "..."

"If you're not leaving, I'll see you off!"

Moran was too lazy to waste her breath arguing with this hermit, so she simply sent him away from the candy store like a gust of wind. She was in a hurry to sort out the angel's memories!
"Luckily, that fairy of light and shadow arrived just before closing time, so she was the only witness. Otherwise, we would have been driven crazy by the noise!"

Moran felt relieved as he used magic to slowly close the shop door.

Before she could close the door completely, another four-winged angel landed outside her shop.

Koltama had been holding her chin up proudly, thinking the lower realm was dirty, and she didn't even want her toes to actually touch the ground.

Having just lost the fairy messenger, he looked into the shop with a mixture of anger and scrutiny, only to find a crack in the door.

Soon there won't even be a crack in the door left!
The photo of him with his bald head is still in Otaros's hands! If we don't return the candy to him today, he'll take the photo to the holy war platform!

His arrogance vanished, and his foot got stuck in the door crack: "Wait a minute!"

"It's 5:01, I have to go home now. Please come early tomorrow," Moran said, standing at the entrance of the candy exchange counter.

“It’s not easy for me to come down to the mortal realm, please grant me a few more minutes!” Kertama quickly said.

Moran was eager to get another Angel's Memory, but he wasn't going to rush into a deal: "One gem coin per minute, half an hour at most. If you agree, then we're in!"

Koltamar: "Okay!"

Once he entered that room, all the candy was his; he didn't leave her a single gem coin!
Moran turned and walked into the candy distribution area.

Kortamar followed aggressively. (End of Chapter)
