Episode 31: Soul Hunting

A large group of junior angels was devastated by Henri and Peta, and two days passed. In one of the rooms of "The Seven Stars of the Light Castle," four of the Seven Stars angels Seal, Gabri, Micah and Raphae gathered as well as before this.

"Is Kiel still here today, as Yeg is on a mission to destroy the 'Mad Demon's Mirror'?"

Says Seal as he wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Ha, that idiot won't stop coming unless he even fires his part-time job. What's the matter with you now, Seal?

After saying so, Gabri looked like she had thought of something.

"Oh, no, you ordered both junior angels to capture Henri. Isn't this the celebration? So, where is Henri?

"... Henri's capture was a failure. The inferior angel was wiped out by Henri and his men, the king Peta."

Seal said with a bitter look.

"It's a failure. Ah!? Dude, I'm not kidding! This is Henri. Looking forward to your torture. Hi! Give me back my excitement. Seriously!

"Dear Gabriel!! What is that ridiculous attitude when you say that as many as 1,000 junior angels have been sacrificed!!"

Seal yelled out loud, but Gabri joins hands behind his head with a flat face.

"Don't hit me eight times, Seal. You're the one who decided this operation in the first place."

"Ku...!!"

"Tsukaka, how weak are all the junior angels that a king would still be able to destroy all his men! Besides, for 1,000 junior angels, there's only two of them over there. It's no longer gag territory! Ha ha!

Seal shivers his fist silently as Gabri laughs off. Eventually I breathed loudly to calm myself down.

"... it is my responsibility to insult the power of the King's men in this case."

"Whoa, that's unusual and honest, Seal. This is snow tomorrow!

"It doesn't snow here because it's on the clouds"

Micah stopped her hand from eating sweets and put a scratch in Gabri.

"Oh? It's a joke, isn't it? Don't just pinch your mouth at times like this, Mika."

…………

Mika became silent again and went back to the task of eating sweets.

"Well, what are you going to do now? Another maneuver to use both junior angels to capture Henri?

"Also, let's not do this anymore! If they wipe you out again...!!"

Raphae says in a trembling voice.

"... right. Now that I know the King's men have considerable power, I'll just add more casualties in vain. If you keep your hands shut, just wait for the king to extinct you."

"Kuck. Then it looks like we're finally going to have to unseal the Phantom Beast Gate."

The indoor air changes with this Gabriel statement. Eventually Raphae stood up with a blue face.

"Hey, what are you talking about, Mr. Gabri!! You're joking!?"

"Are you kidding me? If we could fight the king, we'd only have about a phantom beast."

"But to unseal the Gate of the Phantom Beast, you have to sacrifice more than a thousand human souls!! That should be forgiven -"

"No... it also makes sense what Gabriel says"

"Se, seal!?"

Raphae sees Seal with an incredible face.

"Perhaps the power of the reigning king outweighs our seven-star angels as well. There's no other way to destroy the King than to unseal the Gate of the Phantom Beast. We lost the king a long time ago because there's a legend of phantom beasts."

"So you're okay with Ceal agreeing, too?

…………

Seal arms up and closes his eyes. Eventually he nodded small enough to make a bitter decision.

"Ha, that's settled! Who will hunt the souls of all humans? Do you want to push with all the junior angels again?

"... Loads of junior angels must be heavy. Besides, the motivation of the lower angels has been greatly diminished in the matter two days ago. Therefore, the soul hunt shall be carried out with our seven-star angels."

"Hyah!! That's what's happening!! It's finally getting interesting!!"

"Gabri, this is never a play. Don't forget that."

"Heck, I know."

"Wait!!"

Raphae, who changed his blood phase, shouted out loud.

"Seal, you said it before!? Safeguarding humans is also the mission of a seven-star angel!! Isn't it true that we hunt human souls like that?!"

"... I know how you feel. But here's what I said. There is no room for choosing the means to destroy the king. Or do you have any other ideas of defeating the king?

"Sooo... that's...!!"

"Do you make some sacrifices to defeat the king and prevent the extinction of man? Do nothing like this and watch humans become extinct by the King in silence? It goes without saying which one to choose."

……!!

Raphae couldn't say anything back and could only bite her lips off.

"Micah, do you have any opinions, too?

…………

Micah shook her neck sideways as if she wasn't interested, crushing the confectionery poly.

"Hurry up and head to human territory!

"Wait Gabriel. Human cooperation is essential for this to happen quickly. First, we need to negotiate with someone of that status."

"That's a pain in the ass. - Hey. Shh. I'll negotiate."

"You're not even negotiating. Leave this place to me."

"Well, the leader of the Seven Stars Angel immediately? Well, that's all right."

"Then I'll go. You guys wait till I get back."

Thus Seal turned to the human realm in order to carry out the "human soul hunt".
