It wasn&#8217;t becoming for one<br \/>\n     of the Great Angels to curse a human out of pure spite. But she couldn&#8217;t<br \/>\n     quite help the warm glow of vengeful satisfaction as she completed the last<br \/>\n     flourish on the malediction. She&#8217;d been having a bad day. Actually, she&#8217;d<br \/>\n     been having a bad century. Heaven was in complete uproar and disarray, Sevothtarte<br \/>\n     was gaining more power every day, and Gabriel had a bad feeling that she<br \/>\n     was the White Bastard&#8217;s next target.<\/p>\n<p>So she really hadn&#8217;t been in any mood to be forgiving when a human male had<br \/>\n     sidled up behind her and squeezed her breasts. And then stood there with<br \/>\n     a considering look, as if he were evaluating the merits of this or that loaf<br \/>\n     of bread, before declaring her &quot;nice&quot; and asking if she wanted<br \/>\n     to take a ride with him. The leer had made it perfectly clear that he wasn&#8217;t<br \/>\n     talking about cars.<\/p>\n<p>And since she had been down in Assiah covertly, she couldn&#8217;t obliterate him<br \/>\n     on the spot, which only added insult to injury.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Gabriel-sama?&quot; Arariel leaned around the doorway, and raised her<br \/>\n     brows at the seal Gabriel had just completed. &quot;Um. Someone due for a<br \/>\n     little divine punishment?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Eminently,&quot; Gabriel said, between her teeth. <\/p>\n<p>Arariel took a few cautious steps into the room. &quot;Isn&#8217;t it a little unkind<br \/>\n     to take it out on an unborn, though?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel smiled more genuinely. &quot;He&#8217;ll be fine with the boys. It&#8217;s just<br \/>\n     girls that he won&#8217;t have any skills at all with. The child shouldn&#8217;t have<br \/>\n     a problem; it&#8217;s his father that will have fifty fits.&quot; She directed<br \/>\n     her smile down at the completed curse.<\/p>\n<p>Arariel put a gentle arm around her shoulders. &quot;Feel better, now Gabriel-sama?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel laughed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>End<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Ryouma got so girl-clueless. <span class=\"summary-meta\">Humor, I-1<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"teaser\">\n<p>&quot;Gabriel-sama?&quot; Arariel leaned around the doorway, and raised her brows at the seal Gabriel had just completed. &quot;Um.
