Episode 38: Who Kiel Is

"Huh, it's finally over..."

Forty minutes later. After handing out all the balloons, I breathed heavily in my clothes. At the same time, the part-time job ended, and a leader came to me in a good mood.

"Yout, it was, wasn't it? I'm so glad you came in so fast! I'll give you an hour's worth of part-time money later, so come and get it when you're done dressing!

"Oh, thank you."

Will you pay for a proper part-time job? Well, working for free is not the right thing to do.

"You did a great job on your first mission. Let me compliment you."

"... I'm glad Mr. Kiel didn't get cocky again"

I was a little frustrated by Kiel's words. [M] How can this guy always be eye-catching from above when he's just failing?

Well, no. Lina's waiting for you, too. Get dressed.

"Uh-huh! Balloons!

That's when I saw one girl sitting on the ground crying. I looked up and saw the balloon flying into the sky. Apparently, the girl accidentally let go of the balloon.

I have to do something about this place. But what do we do, if we use the spell, [Transformation] will break and return to the appearance of the king? If you're in the same condition as me, do you look good? No, when I think about the King's figure, I'm the one who ruptures and finds out who he is in this size of clothing. What the hell am I supposed to do?

"Nun!!"

At the time I was spinning my head full, the rabbit's clothes were ripped to bits and Mr. Kiel's figure was exposed.

"Spell [stratigraphic engraving]!!"

Mr. Kiel screams out loud. Then the balloon stopped perfectly in the air. No, it wasn't just balloons, birds flying in the sky, people in the eyes, all that movement was stopped.

I took off my panda clothes and looked around. What the hell happened? Only one thing is certain: this spell was activated by Mr. Kiel.

"Mr. Kiel, is this...!?"

"[stratigraphic inscription] is a spell that makes the flow of time in all things a tenth of a thousand. It's like a formation that builds up over the years..."

Regardless of the stratigraphic noodles, one in 10,000 would no longer be equal to a stopped state. I guess I should have taken it off normally without bothering to rip the wearing guru off again before activating the spell.

"However, organisms above level 500, and those touching them, are not affected by this spell. Looks like it didn't work for you."

The next moment, I saw something even more amazing. And there grew white wings upon Mr. Kiel's back, and he went up high. Those wings are no way...!!

When Mr. Kiel caught the balloon in the air, he stepped down to the ground again.

"... Mr. Kiel, were you an angel"

"Oh. Speaking of which, you haven't spoken properly about me yet."

Mr. Kiel turned his body to me and said:

"My name is Kiel. He's one of the Seven Star Angels."

!!

I had to be stunned by the fact of the shock. Mr. Kiel said he was one of the Seven Star Angels, just like Uriel...!?

"What do you say, surprised?

"... oh. I didn't think he was much of a grocery store part-timer, but I didn't know he was a seven-star angel. Why did you reveal yourself at this time?

"It was a girl's pinch. As a star of hope to protect our children's dreams, we could not overlook what is now."

"... sounds like Mr. Kiel"

But until just now, you've found out on your face so many times that you've ruined the kids' dreams, I thought, but don't put it in your mouth.

"The real thing about Seven Star Angels is to erase the King of Champions. I mean, me and you are enemies."

"... then what? Can we fight the rest here now?

I unconsciously solved [the transformation] and confronted Mr. Kiel in the form of a king.

"There must have been many chances to strike the rest unintentionally before. Why didn't you?

"Pfft, you wouldn't be the one whose soothing hand is unintentional, etc. No matter how much you turned into a human being, I felt on my skin that you had the unstoppable power. Even if we had set up a strike, it would have ended in failure."

"... I see. That's a wise decision."

Now I'm [weakening] greatly lowering ATK and DEF, and if I'd been hit unintentionally in this state, I might have sucked.

"It's only a story for the Seven Star Angel that the King's obliteration is the real deal. I personally have no interest in the life of the king. If I don't let my battle get in the way, that's fine."

"Even if it's all I have left to kill Uriel?

When I said that, Mr. Kiel's eyebrows shook.

"... well. After all, the story of Uriel being murdered by the king seemed true. I'm sorry to hear about Uriel's death, but it's not my doctrine to decide between female males on the grounds of fellow enemies. I've seen a lot of people on the battlefield who have lost their lives."

Maybe you're referring to the people who quit part-time. Confusing.

"Besides, you and I are enemies, and we survived the battlefield together. Kill your people and you will hurt my pride as a warrior."

"... Phew."

I accidentally spilled a laugh. [M] He's still funny that I'm one of the king's people.

"King, how about you? Now that you know I'm one of those seven-star angels, you're not gonna think about killing me? Like I did to Uriel."

"... the rest won't kill anyone for no reason. Until Uriel was redeemed with his life because he committed the great sin of putting the rest of his subordinates in his hands. There's no reason to kill you."

"Well, you're surprisingly full of morality. The king had the image of a merciless killer, but in the future, let's try to change his perception. I heard about a month or so ago that the human army was wiped out by the king, but it looks like it was a debauchery."

I'm sorry, that's true too.

"The effects of [stratigraphic engraving] will expire soon after that. Shouldn't we turn into humans again?

I hastily activated the [Transformation] spell and became a human figure. And as soon as the effect of [stratigraphic engraving] was over, people and things started to move as usual.

Mr. Kiel, with the balloon in his hand, walked over to the crying girl. The girl freaked her body out for a moment when she saw Mr. Kiel, but when she saw that balloon, she turned to a smile.

"Ah! My balloon!

"Oh. Don't let go of me anymore."

Mr. Kiel crouched on the spot and handed the girl a balloon.

"Yeah! Thanks Uncle!

"Uncle...!?"

The sound of an effect called Gunn was heard from Mr. Kiel. I don't know how old you are, but you wouldn't even be the kind of age I'd be shocked to hear you say uncle.
