Episode 26: Four Seven Star Angels

The realm extends far above the different worlds' Lal Athos'. There the angels, young and old, run their own lives, called the 'Sanctuary of the Sky'.

Angels' forms of life are little different from those of humans, and are a common sight on earth, except that the ground is cloudy, such as children clutching with friends, women drying their laundry on the veranda, and old men walking with their canes.

And at the heart of "The Sanctuary of the Sky," a castle that rises as if boasting of power. The name of that castle, which is all painted and consolidated in white, is called "The Seven Stars of Light Castle". In one of its rooms, four of the seven star angels assembled and sat in a chair at a circular table.

Rock the chair back and forth and turn your hand around the back of your head looking bored, bad-faced man angel. Girl-faced female angel eating golden sugar-like treats with polypoly. Fist on your knees in a tense manner, boy faced man angel. An adult-faced female angel who arms and arms with a serious look.

"Whoa. Wouldn't Yeg, Kiel, and Uriel come forever? Where'd they sell the oil and get cancer?

The bad-faced man angel says with a frustrated face.

"Yeg is currently on a sabotage mission for the Mad Demon's Mirror. Kiel probably works part-time on the ground."

An adult-faced woman angel answers.

"Damn, is he still doing such a strange thing or cancer? What about Uriel?

"Uriel is... going to talk"

"Oh? Could it have something to do with why you called us on an emergency call?

"... you're right"

"Damn it, don't wear it. So just talk to me, Seal. I'm tired of waiting."

The female angel, called Seal, breathes small.

"Right. Then let's just start with these four. Micah, don't stop eating sweets once. Listen carefully, Raphael."

The female angel, told Seal and called Mica, stopped her hand eating confectionery. The man called Raphae. The angel also looks up.

"As Gabriel said, the reason I summoned your lords is in Uriel"

"Damn. Did you even hit the horn of Tans with your finger and get hospitalized because it was about him?

Watch your mouth, Gabriel.

"Heck."

The man called Gabri. The angel replies swallowing. After a while of silence came, Seal opened his mouth with a sinking face.

"... Uriel was killed"

Micah raised her eyebrows pickly at Seal's words, Raphae opened her eyes wide and Gabri grinned with her belly.

"Ha ha! That idiot's dead! I'm gonna uke you. Seriously!

"Gabri you!! What the hell are you laughing at!! One of our seven star angels is dead!!"

"No, I'm not. Knock..."

Rafael rose out of his chair as Gabriel laughed.

"Really... is Mr. Uriel really dead?!?"

"Mm-hmm. There's more than one sighting of a junior angel, so I'm pretty sure."

"Oh no... Mr. Uriel...!!"

Raphae sat in the chair with an incredible look on her face.

"Um, who killed Uriel?

"... the man who reigns at the summit of the devil, the king."

When Seal said so, Gabri smiled invincibly.

"I see. I heard rumors that the King was resurrected to this world, but apparently it was true. When you're the one who can kill a seven-star angel, you'll only be the king."

"According to a report by a junior angel, Uriel boarded the King's Castle alone and was returned to the King. As a result of insulting the power of the King..."

"Ha ha! You did that on your own without saying no to us! What a pathetic end for him. Oi!

"I told you to keep your mouth shut Gabriel!!"

"Oh, scary scary scary"

Seal grips his fist with a face that seeps through remorse.

"Surely Uriel's actions could have been foolish. But in order not to waste Uriel's sacrifice, we must destroy the king."

"Whatever, Uriel, but you can't just leave the king alone. The King's goal is to destroy both men, isn't it?

"Mm-hmm. Protecting both weak people is one of the Seven Star Angels' missions. We need to strike a hand at anything before the king starts invading human territory"

"So, but what do you do? If you have enough power to kill Mr. Uriel, even we Seven Star Angels are tough..."

Raphae says in a trembling voice.

"Damn, you're as hectic as ever, Raphae. But, Uriel, I don't know, maybe I shouldn't imitate this ridiculousness of fighting and selling to the king without any idea. Is there anything you can do, Seal?

Seal arms up and closes his eyes. Eventually Seal opened his mouth quietly.

"... First we capture the whole of the reigning king's subordination and see how they come out"

"Ha ha! This is another trick! But I don't think the King will stop invading the human realm after abducting one of the Mob demons!

"I know that."

Seal removed from his nostalgia a piece of paper depicting the face of a female demon and placed it in the middle of the table.

"Well, I guess this is a lot of upper-ball women. You went out of your way to find me a match?

Gabriel, stop talking.

"You're cold. Seal is. I think it's better than saying nothing to Mika."

Micah had resumed eating sweets at some point.

"So, if you're not my matchmaker, who are you?

"This guy is the closest thing to the king. His name is Henri."

Yes, it was Henri's face that was depicted on the paper that Seal showed.

"Dude, the King of Champions doesn't have such cute sides! I guess I can do that and all I want every day! I envy you, man. Seriously!

"... if we capture this guy, we can undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the king. Besides, this guy, who is the closest thing to it, might know the weakness of the king. It would be nice if torture could make you throw it up."

"Fuck. Well, I don't mind, but I don't think it's like an angel's place to torture a captor."

"Honestly, I don't even care. But there is no room for choosing the means to destroy the king. Is there anyone else out there?

Micah nods cocklessly as she puts her sweets in her mouth. Raphae had a face she had said something to, but she leaned down without putting it in her mouth.

"Or does Micah listen to you properly? I've been eating sweets for a while now."

"... I'm listening"

Finally uttered the word, Micah.

"I don't care about the king. I became a seven-star angel just to kill your sister."

"... not at all, not the same Micah"

As Seal sighed, Gabri was finger-picking and hissing the paper on which Henri's face was depicted.

"Well, who's going to go get this Henri?

"It's not a good idea for us seven star angels to move any more than we don't know what this guy's capable of. Therefore, this operation is to come with the man-made tactics of lower angels."

"That's not funny. Did Uriel get murdered and cowered?

"... a thousand would suffice. There will be some sacrifice, but you will have to. The decision shall be made in three days"

"Hey, you finally ignored me, Seal. I don't care who captures you, but let me handle Henri's torture, okay?

"... on your own"

Seal said as if he was frightened.
