Want to Know You Better
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kouryuu calls upon from Hell his two assistants: Hari and Ryuuri (both of them having the Chung-Li look). He wants them to find out what mission God has placed upon Kohaku, whose skills are obviously not yet accomplished enough for him to come to the human world alone, Kouryuu figures. Hari and Ryuuri therefore transform themselves into two black cats and watch over Shuuichirou's house. Kouryuu licks his lips when he thinks of Shuuichirou...

Kohaku, though in his chibi form, works quite hard in folding up the clothing from the laundry. Shuuichirou pets on his head when he sees that he has finished the whole basket, and he hands him a cup of milk, which is the only thing Kohaku can consume. Shuuichirou then asks him where he will be sleeping that night. He offers to buy him a children blanket when the weather turns cold, but Kohaku, happy that Shuuichirou is thinking to let him stay over the winter, insists that the doctor should not spent any money on him because he believes that people have to work very hard for money. Shuuichirou therefore tells him to make up his own bed with something that is already in the house. Shuuichirou asks Kohaku if he really is an angel, and he says that he does not know how to cure an angel if he catches a cold. Kohaku feels that he is wonderful since he trusts he words now. Finally, he picks the laundry basket to be his new bed.

Hari and Ryuuri are watching them from outside. They envy Kohaku being with such a cool guy as Shuuichirou. The two soon argue who should be getting to Shuuichirou first, and their noise alarms Shuuichirou, who then closes the door to the garden. As a result, Hari and Ryuuri use magic to see what is happening inside the house. Kohaku is telling Shuuichirou that angels become small at night unless they possess higher magic power, or "hougan," like the archangels do. Hougan is the energy borrowed from the nature, and such energy is less in strength than it is in the ethereal realms. Kohaku can only manage healing and supplementary hougan, such as using water to water the plants. Angels and demons utilize the energy from the sun or the moon as their source of hougan, and thus they become small to conserve energy when their source was not dominant.

Shuuichirou agrees to answer Kohaku's questions about himself. Kohaku then asks him a few things so that he could know him better. He asks what he likes most, and he replies that it is probably his motorcycle. He then brings him to see it. Hari and Ryuuri are thinking that Shuuichirou looks like someone they know. They are threatened when Shuuichirou and Kohaku come out to the backyard, but they are not discovered. Kohaku asks what Shuuichirou does with a motorcycle, but he does not understand what "riding a motorcycle" means. Hari and Ryuuri are mocking at Kohaku's ignorance quietly, and think to themselves that God is clever in choosing Kohaku to come to the human world because such a stupid angel would not cause any upheaval when his identity is exposed. They think that whatever God is looking for must be someone very important, such as "that beautiful person with lustrous green eyes..."

The mystery is solved when a little flying rabbit appears. This type of rabbit is called Usyagi (Ushagi), and is the divine messenger between God and angels (as angels between God and men). It brings Kohaku a chrysanthemum, which is holding the energy of God's message. Kohaku becomes stressful and begs God to give him more time after he has received the message in the flower. He uses his energy to form a lotus (holding his message), and asks Usyagi to bring it to God. Kohaku then seeks assurance from Shuuichirou, screaming: "Hisui-sama will soon be expelled from Heaven!" Hari and Ryuuri are astounded when they hear this.
