The angel then looked back at Arad with a wry smile, "By the way, we're dangerously low on divine magic. Do you mind assigning us to a patron god?"
While the angels will serve Arad, they can't operate without a constant source of divine magic. Arad himself can't supply them, but he already has three goddesses who could take that role —four if he counts Isabelle —but she is far too weak now.
