"Mr. Ute, it was, wasn't it? Is it true that you screwed over Mr. Yeg?

"... sort of"

"Shh, that's amazing. I didn't think there were any stronger people than the Seven Star Angels."

I'm not really human, though.

"So Mr. Ute was recognized by Mr. Seal for his strength in this" Seven Star Mitsukoshi "?

"Oh. Even so, they took the hostage and forced it. He really wants to make me a seven star angel."

"Hostages!? Then Mr. Seal just said," What is that woman... "

"I'm talking about that hostage. I don't care if you're in terrible shape by now."

About Serena comes to mind, and unconsciously the force enters my fist.

"... I think that's okay. Because Mr. Seal is not the kind of person who would hurt someone for nothing. I'm sure he's in a safe place."

"You're relentlessly depriving a lot of human souls?

"!! That's..."

Raphae's expression clouds for a moment.

"... because that makes sense properly"

"What's the point? What the hell are you going to do collecting people's souls?

Maybe I can hear from this guy what a seven-star angel is doing hunting people's souls. That's what I asked.

Raphae opened her mouth quietly after showing a slight hesitation.

"To unseal the Gate of the Mirage Beast."

"" Gate of the Mirage Beast "?

"Yes, we need at least 1,000 human souls to unseal the Gate of the Phantom Beast."

"... why are you trying to unseal such a gate?

"To destroy the reigning kings of the demons."

What, me?

"There is no longer any other way to counter the King of Champions with non-standard powers than to use the power of phantom beasts. That's why we're gathering human souls to unseal the Phantom Beast Gate."

"... I see"

I hold my head. That means I'm indirectly the cause of people's souls being taken. You don't have to do anything to destroy me. [M] That's enough anecdotes left that the world was about to perish because of the King of Champions a long time ago, and I don't know what it feels like...

"Mr. Ute, you look pale, don't you? What's wrong with you?

"... never mind. Sounds like you've been in this castle forever more than that, but you're not in the soul hunt?

"... Yes. It's very hard for me to steal a human soul..."

Raphae's expression darkens. Apparently this guy, like Mr. Kiel, is a dissident when it comes to hunting human souls. I guess it's still hard for everyone to align their footprints just for things to do.

But in Raphael's case, I also feel that he is opposed to destroying the king himself. Maybe we can pull it in on this side if it works......

"By the way, what do you think of the king? As a matter of fact, I don't think we should destroy that much."

"No, I have the same idea that the king should perish."

Is that right?

"I heard about a month ago that 50,000 troops were wiped out by the King. I can never forgive you. I'm pretty sure the king is a threat to people's peace."

"Ugh..."

I can't say anything back just because it's true. If you want me to make an excuse, then I was just reincarnated by the reigning king and I couldn't help adjusting my powers, and I didn't mean to wipe them out...

Well, I'm pretty sure I've taken 50,000 human lives. I also know how strange it is that I'm trying to get people's souls back. All right, I've come this far.

"But I think sacrificing a lot of people to destroy the king is the wrong way to do it. I told Seal and the others many times not to listen... I don't know what's right anymore and what's not."

Raphae said with a very spicy look. This guy sincerely denies hunting human souls. Seven star angels have decent guys, too.

... maybe I can talk to this guy. What I came here for.

"Where are the souls of the people who took them now?

"It's in the 'pot of souls' on the top floor of this castle. How could you do that...?

"I've come this far to get my stolen soul back, will you believe me when I say it?

"... Huh?

Raphael turns his eyes round and looks at me.

"Would you believe me if I said I dared to ride Seal's invitation to reclaim people's souls?

…………

Raphae was silent for a while before

"I believe you."

I said it small. Then Raphael held his fist and turned his prepared eyes to me.

"Please go, Mr. Ute. Destroy the Pot of Souls and all souls will return to their owners."

"! Are you sure? Seal told me to keep an eye on me."

"That's okay. However, the 'pot of souls' should have a powerful protective spell. It may not be possible to destroy…"

"That information is enough."

First, I try to destroy the handcuffs worn on my wrist by the [demon-sealed shackles]. But the handcuffs didn't even freak out. After all, how can it not be a substitute for this with force? If it weren't for the handcuffs, I would have been able to lift that protective spell with [de-curse].

But even if I can't do it now, the next time I visit this castle, I need to know where and how the Pot of Souls is. Besides, maybe my power can destroy every protective spell.

"And there are thousands of junior angels in this castle. I think it would be extremely difficult to get to the top floor through those guards..."

"That's not a problem"

I rise from my chair. I got the information I wanted.

"Then I'll go. Thanks for everything, Raphae. Good to see you."

"No, I don't..."

"Hey, before that"

Dossssss.

"Kaha...!?"

I walked over to Raphael and slapped my fist into his belly.

"Mr. Ute... what...!?"

"It should be more convenient for you to get away with it than get away with it." Don't feel bad. "

Raphael loses his mind and leans against my body. I gently put Raphael to bed. [M] Rest assured, I will never waste your thoughts.

"... Well"

After I saw Micah's face sleeping in bed, I left the room. There's something I need to do before I head to the Pot of Souls. Needless to say, that's Serena's rescue. Serena said she was somewhere in this castle. We need to help as soon as possible...!!
