*Seongun's Perspective (It is a forgotten memory!)
It was when I was working as usual and went to report to the Heavenly Realm.
It was when I went to the Heavenly Palace, the center of the celestial realm, the place where God, the creator of this world, lives.
God and I never met in private settings, only for work.
However, just for today, the angels guarding the heavens approached from the entrance of the heavens.
The order is to bring him directly to the reception room of the Heavenly Palace as soon as he arrives to report to the Heavenly Realm.
And they didn't tell me the reason, saying it was a secret.
Since my goal was to report to God anyway, I had no particular reason to resist.
So, I went to the heavenly palace under the escort of angels.
신
“Did you come knowing… your fault?”
Did they intentionally not tell me the reason so that I would realize my mistake on my own?
I had a pretty good idea, but I decided to pretend I didn't know for now.
신
Then I’ll tell you now.
신
It was detected that there is a human who does not live in the human world.
It was clearly referring to the female lead.
성운
"that..."
신
You may be able to deceive other spirits, but you cannot deceive me.
성운
However, the female lead was the one who asked first.
신
“No, you were the one who suggested it first.”
성운
“What are you going to do to the female lead?”
신
Seeing how anxious you are, it seems you are definitely not an ordinary couple.
성운
“No. I just granted your request.”
신
"You are the first human I’ve ever spoken to, even though you have absolutely no connection to humans?"
성운
The female lead spoke to me first. I have no interest in her.
신
But it is true that that person is interfering with work.
성운
“What on earth were you trying to do…!”
신
"Even if you lay a hand on humans, it will be the same for you."
신
“Whether you erase the memory, just kill them, or get rid of them, whatever you do.”
신
“You won’t work properly saying you miss that person.”
성운
“No. From now on, I will work without having my time taken up.”
신
“No, you already have feelings for him.”
신
“That’s a really abnormal case.”
신
Because unlike other living creatures, messengers cannot feel almost any emotions.
성운
"but..."
신
It can't be helped, but I have to take action.
신
“That measure is… erasing all your memories of that person.”
성운
That is the only thing that cannot be done.
신
“I’m sorry, but that’s just how spirits are.”
신
The job of connecting me with the animals under your care. You exist to do that job.
성운
"Then, would it be alright to send the female lead back to the human world?"
신
It's already too late.
With those words, a bright light emanating from God enveloped my body.
And all other memories about the heroine, including this one, vanished.

Minhyun's perspective
I was on my way back after stopping by the Heavenly Realm to give a report.
I saw the red fox being captured by angels and taken to the heavenly palace.
The fox and I are both spirits.
I realized that it was not an ordinary situation.
I cautiously followed behind.
Looking in the direction the angels were heading, it was the drawing room.
I ended up listening to the conversation by pressing my ear against the wall outside the drawing room.
신
It was detected that there is a human who does not live in the human world.
The voice of God was heard.
God is the creator of this world, so He sees through everything.
There was no way he would lie.
Then where does that person mean?
신
You may be able to deceive other spirits, but you cannot deceive me.
Upon hearing this, I could somewhat guess the location.
If other spirits don't know about it, it means it's a place no one can go.
The most representative such place was home.
신
“It won’t make a difference to you even if you lay a hand on humans. Whether you erase their memories, just kill them, or get rid of them—no matter what you do.”
And the moment these words came out of God's mouth, I was teleported to the fox's house.
If killing the human was of no use, there was only one measure.
The act of erasing the person's memory.
If it is a schedule that erases the person's memory, then all memories and traces regarding Yeoju will disappear.
As if it never existed.
That was the law of the spirit world.
Spirits are agents of God who look after and report on the expanding world on behalf of God.
It was created by modifying God's creations one by one according to their type.
As soon as the spirits became spirits, they almost lost their emotions.
Emotions needed in emergencies, such as being sick, and
I have lost almost all emotions except for basic ones like joy and sadness.
In particular, I uprooted love, the most disruptive element, and other emotions that form various relationships.
So, bringing a human home out of compassion is something wrong.
If the red fox loses its memory, the only victim will ultimately be that human.
I thought that even if the two of them couldn't get back together, I hoped they at least wouldn't get hurt.
So, that is how I ended up heading to the fox's house.

For reference, I am an atheist, and here, 'God' simply refers to the 'creator who made the world,' regardless of any religion.
