"No. What happened to Yeg and Kiel? You're not gonna let them hunt?

"Ask Yeg to focus on his current assignment. Kiel has ears to listen to anyway. Therefore, the three of us will hunt for our souls."

"Ha, little one. But the three of us collecting 1,000 souls? This is gonna be a big job."

"And one more thing to keep in mind"

Says Seal as he holds his index finger up.

"The soul dedicated to the Gate of the Phantom Beast needs to belong to a more energetic man. It is desirable to target people around the age of twenty when they are most energetic in order to sacrifice as little as possible."

"Huh? Can you tell which one is around twenty before hunting? It's hard. I don't know. You're a kid, but you're old enough."

"Gabri, I thought I told you not to forget your consciousness as a seven-star angel. Never imitate anything that hurts our feelings."

"Damn. You don't have a clue or shit at the point of hunting a human soul..."

"Did I say something?

"No? Nothing."

Gabriel said as if it were a blur.

"Then we turn to human territory. Inevitably we gather 1,000 human souls and unseal the Gate of the Phantom Beast. To destroy the King, the root of all evil!

Human territory. Seal would hunt souls in the south, Gabri in the west and Micah in the east, and the three headed in their respective directions.

"The human realm has been around for a long time. The air's still dripping."

Down at the top of the mountain, at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters, Gabri takes a look at the view from there. Eventually Gabri set his aim for the three villages.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock."

When Gabri put his right hand up in heaven, a full moon-like sphere suddenly appeared far above him.

"Spell [Moon Shadow Split]!!"

A dazzling light emits from that sphere, creating the shadow of Gabriel. Eventually the shadow split into two parts, and a split appearing exactly like Gabri sprang out of each shadow.

"I thought we should focus on efficiency."

When Gabriel lowered his right hand, the sphere floating above also disappeared. Gabri, who has become three, has a creepy grin on each of them.

"Come on, it's the opening of a fun hunting game!! hahahahahahaha!!"

"The hunt for the soul of man" by the three seven-star angels of Seal, Gabri and Micah has finally begun.

Time flies fast, and a month has passed since I was reincarnated into this world as king. A large group of angels hadn't attacked me since then, and I had had quite a peaceful routine.

And what am I doing now, in the Great Hall of King's Castle, the three of Henri and Peta were unplugging the trump.

Until not long ago, Henri had only opponents, so the variety of games she could play was limited, but the addition of Peta greatly expanded the variation of the game. It's hard to ask the other demons out.

"It's our turn next!

The current situation without Baba is that Peta is one bill and my hand is six of hearts and two of the jokers. Henri is agitated one foot ahead of the other, and is a hit between me and Peta. In other words, this would be my defeat if Peta took the six of hearts.

"Sa. I don't know which way the joker is."

Peta makes the finger of her right hand a Unewe. The joker is on the right from me. Right! Take the right, Peta!

"Ah..."

But my prayers never arrived, and Peta took the six of hearts.

"Yay! Agari!

"... the rest to lose"

Peta rejoiced all hail, and I drowned my head gaggly. Funny, was I this weak? I hardly feel like I've been able to beat him decently in Trump or Je Oga since he was reincarnated into King. Has the game of this hand become weak in exchange for gaining the strength of the king?

"I think you should worry more about the poker face, Master Ute. If you stare at the cards like that, even the joker will find out."

What, were you watching that much? I had no idea.

"Dear Peta! If you knew so much, why didn't you give up your win to Master Ute!? Still, the whole Four Destroyers thing!

"... it's fine, Henri. Positions and positions are irrelevant to the game. If you care about me weirdly, you'll lose the flair of the game."

"I will. I will. It's almost unconvincing for Henri to say it first."

"Ugh..."

Can't you say it back, Henri silenced herself casually?

"Nevertheless, Master Youto really knows all kinds of games. Where the hell are you purchasing it?

"... it's all an original game that the rest devised"

And let's just say that. I'm sorry to be the first person to think about Trump or Je Oga.

"Seriously!? It's like a boulder uto to come up with such an interesting game! I have so much respect for you!

"Naturally. It's easy for you to breathe, like creating a game."

Henri, that's overestimating anything at all.

"I want to teach Yuna and Elitra too. When are you coming back to the castle?"

Yuna and Elitra seem to be the names of the two remaining demons. I have not yet returned from the task of securing 'Huttle's Claws' and 'Giraffe's Wings', and I have never even seen my face. I'm just wondering what the hell they are.

"... whatever Yuna is, I don't really want Elitra to come back"

Henri said in a bitter face. One thing is for sure that Henri doesn't like Elitra.

"Dear Yout, what are you going to do and play next!?"

"Right..."

That's not really if you're playing a game like this. Upgrade the image of the king to create a world where humans and demons can coexist, that should have been my plan. But I haven't been able to do anything like that here lately.

We have to accomplish this at all costs before the exterminators gather the four ingredients to produce "Dark Black Narrow Mist". Whatever it is, I hope it happens in a case like that where people get into a predicament...

As I was haunting my head, I heard knocking on the big hall door. When I said "in," the devil came inside and knelt down.

"I am sorry to be in the midst of a noble ritual. Would you like to put a little something in your ear, please?

"I don't mind. Speak."

What's a noble ritual? Could this be about the cards we're doing right now?

"Recently, there have been numerous cases of unconscious human beings in various parts of the human territory."

"... what?

"They say the victims are centered on youths in their late teens and early twenties, with numbers ranging from 300 to 400, as if they had been plucked from their souls. The cause is unknown, but I'm pretty sure it's someone's business."

Sounds like a case kitter ooh!!

This is it, this is it!! I've been waiting for something like this!! If I solved this case, I'd have been promised a huge improvement in the image of the King!! It's finally a good breeze for me, as it may be a little careless to rejoice at times like this!!
