Episode 22: Seven Star Angels Attack

I finished two quests (a byte named), about the same night.

"Ah... no, dear Yout... if you still pull it out..."

"What's up, Henri? Are you nervous?

"Yes... because this is my first time..."

"But the rest is already the limit of patience. It's time for me to pull it out."

"Ahhh... there... ahhh...!!"

"... ugh. You're so critical."

Me and Henri were playing Jeo Ga in the Great Hall of King's Castle right now. Of course, this jeoga was generated by my [creation] spell.

"Dear Yout, by the way. I'm sorry I'm ignorant, but what kind of play is this...?

"It's Je Oga. It seems simple at first glance, but it's a pretty deep game."

As far as Henri's reaction is concerned, apparently no such play exists in this world.

"I thought you'd be bored just to be on your knees in front of the rest of the time, too. Sometimes this would be a good idea."

"I can't believe I'm bored... because I'm just happy to be beside Lord Ute..."

"Or is this play boring?

"Yes, no! That's not true! It's so much fun!

"Then fine. Now it's your turn."

It's actually pretty tough just sitting on the throne the whole time. It's still early for bed and just right for free time.

Besides, you're actually not very sleepy because I snuck in my room for a few hours before I came back to the big hall after part-time. Thanks to this, the MP is also completely fully recovered.

"Ugh, I managed to pull it out..."

While rocking the entire tower with gras, Henri unplugged one of the blocks. That's a pretty good one, Henri.

"By the way, Master Ute, what happens to those who lose this game? No way. Is it self-harm?

Just je o ga into the death game!?

"I don't care. But, well, maybe you should make up your mind."

"Something...... Ha! So, then, if I win, with Master Yuto, Kake, Kake, here...!!"

"Hmm?"

"YES, NO!! NOTHING!!"

Henri turned her face bright red and waved a boom. That wind pressure almost knocked the tower down, but he managed to hold it up.

Well, it's my turn next. But at the end of the game, I feel like I'm going to collapse no matter which block I pull out anymore.

But I have my pride, too. You can't lose to Henri playing Je Oga for the first time. I'll show you my advanced techniques!

"Dear Yout!! We would like to report you!!"

Then the whole demon opened the door of the great hall with momentum. The vibration causes the tower to collapse raggedly.

I get stunned for a while. It's my turn to collapse...

"... the rest of the defeat. Let's clean ourselves up."

"Oh, calm down, Dear Yout!! You don't have to hurt yourself with this!!"

Well, of course it's a joke, but I didn't know Henri could stop me from always trying to hurt herself with trivial things. Henri glances at the demon.

"What have you done to me!! Hurt yourself now!!"

"What!? Sorry too!!"

I seem to hear the voice of my heart from that demon saying "I did something wrong...!?"

"Keep it down, Henri. He didn't mean it either."

"but...!!"

"What is reporting more than that?

"Yes! One man, believed to be an angel, broke in through the entrance to the castle!!"

"... that you're an angel?

If it was just a story, I'd heard it when I was just reincarnated into this world, but I didn't know it really existed.

"Angel!? Are you one of the Seven Star Angels?!?"

"Yes, I call myself Uriel, one of the seven star angels...!!"

Henri had her eyes wide open. I've never seen Henri so disturbed. Apparently, a seven-star angel is a pretty nasty existence.

"I didn't know the Seven Star Angels would be boarding directly into the castle...!! I'll be there soon!! Master Youto wait here!!"

"Wait."

I put my hand on Henri's shoulder. [M]

"I'll deal with this here. I'm interested in who the Seven Star Angels are."

"But the aim of the Seven Stars Angel is eighty-nine yut!! In case anything happens to you Yut -"

"Huh. You think the rest of us are gonna lose as many angels as we have?

"Oh, that's...!!"

"Don't worry, Henri. Who do you think the rest is?"

That said, the status and abilities of a guy named Uriel are utterly unknown. It looks strong already because of the sound of some name, and maybe it outweighs me, the king. When I say I have no fear at all, I lie.

But I can't let Henri and the others have it all. I'm the only one standing by with my knees. I owe it to myself to protect the demons more than I was reincarnated into the reigning king.

"So let's go."

I used [Moment Move] and moved to the entrance to the castle.

There I saw one man with big white wings on his back, surrounded by a lot of demons. Is that Uriel? I think I'm strong enough to see something.

"It's Master Ute!

"Master Ute is here!

The demons make a scene. Then Uriel looked at me and gave me a creepy grin.

"... are you the king?"

A chill runs on my spine. But don't be afraid. This place needs to be handled like a king.

"Anyway, the rest is the king. I hear you're one of the Seven Star Angels."

"Yes, this is Uriel, one of the seven star angels who reigns at the apex of the angel."

The apex of an angel means the strongest of angels? Something's getting more and more anxious. But we can't back off now.

"You guys. Stay back if you don't want to get involved."

"Yes!

The demons move to the wall at once, and me and Uriel distance themselves from each other.

"You went out of your way to get away from me. I'm sorry I couldn't get him a cup of tea."

"I'm sorry to interrupt such a night. If I was sightseeing the ground, I'd be totally late. I'm going to take it back to the souvenir, even with the king's neck, and it's up to me to stop by this castle."

Am I still the target?

"Oh, and when I tried to get into this castle, a few demons attacked me all of a sudden, so I accidentally killed them all."

My eyebrows move piquely. If you look closely, Uriel's right hand was stained red with blood.

"I was actually going to half-kill him, but he was too weak. But it's the demons who set us up first, so this is a fine self-defense. Don't feel bad for me."

"... never mind. We are not well educated to entertain visitors. So, what brings you to this castle?

"I told you earlier, when I bring the king's neck back to the souvenir. I'm here to kill you."

"... I see. So what we're going to do with you is self-defense, right?

There was a quiet rage in me. [M] But I can't lose my mind for a moment more than I don't know what this guy's capable of.

"Phew, don't make me laugh, king. You can't even defend my attack properly."

"... what do you mean?

"Don't you understand yet? Then you should scratch my status and be afraid. Status Disclosure!"

A status screen appeared over Uriel's head.
