Episode 115: New Leaders

"Hey, I was surprised when I got back after a while because" The Seven Stars of Mitsukoshi "was turning into a pile of rubble. So this is our new base? You've become a very discreet castle."

Kiel stares quietly at Gabriel as he enters the castle in his usual tense.

"How congratulations you showed up, Gabriel. Where and what were you doing while we were fighting the champions?

"Ah? What a gathering of human souls on earth according to Seal's orders! I've been working part-time on swallows. Unlike someone else, I'm serious!

Gabri says it off as it reopens.

"That's what I heard, Seal and Yeg are dead. I lost a whole bunch of bad guys. So we're going to have a big farewell ceremony? I also have to think about the content of my condolences!

Kiel and Rafael turn a silent, cold glance at Gabriel, who is not at all heartbroken by the deaths of the two.

"... hey, it's a joke. Still the bad guys."

Gabri said with a boring looking face.

"Shizuku, two women are dead. I've got a higher bastard rate. So, where's Micah with the red dot?

"... Micah is resting in her room. I don't have a physical condition problem, but I can't really force you to think about Micah's body"

"Right or right. Because the body says capital. So the three of us are gonna make up our minds?"

"Kee, what do you decide?

"Ah? Mm-hmm. You're set as the leader of the seven-star angel. I don't know, Seal, who's been the leader before, is dead. The guy who divides us all has never come over to make up his mind, has he?

Gabriel says so, and Raphael turns his eyes to Kiel.

"In due course, I think Mr. Kiel in the second seat will be the leader..."

"No, no, nothing. You're not determined that the guy upstairs will be the leader. Oh, I don't think Kiel deserves to be a leader until now, when he hasn't served as a seven-star angel to Locke!

"... right"

"Ki, Mr. Kiel!?"

Rafael shows surprise at Kiel, who did not deny Gabriel's claim.

"Rafael's not very good, but he's not a leader. You know that best in person, don't you?

"It's..."

Nothing can be said back, and Raphael speaks in his mouth.

"I'm not leaving my leader to Micah, who's weak, and then... oh my goodness!? Even if I think about it in the erasure method, it means I'm the only one with the right job!

Let Gabriel say as if it were a waza.

"I can't help it, I don't mean to, but this Gabriel will be your leader! Do you have any objections?!?"

"... on your own"

Kiel abandoned it as if it didn't matter half the time.

"Ha, that's settled! I'd like to celebrate the inauguration of a new leader and throw a party, but my dear companion just died and I'm not going to be thrilled."

With that said, Gabri walks up to the vicinity of The Pot of Souls.

"Even so," Pot of Soul "was safe and above all. If it weren't for this, I'd tell you what I've been hunting human souls for."

Gabri turns his attention to Kiel and Raphae.

"So? What were you guys doing here? I guess I wasn't trying to destroy this pot, was I?

"Oh, that's..."

Seeing Raphae's eyes swim, Gabriel's guess turns to certainty.

"Looking at the stars, apparently. Think miserably, I can't believe you're trying to break what Seal left me because of."

"So, but now that Mr. Seal is dead, he no longer has the means to collect his soul!? It is no longer possible to revive the phantom beast, and you can destroy it..."

"Huh? I was skipping soul hunting. Do you have the right to decide that for Temei and the others? I was the one who hunted the human soul the most. Then I should decide what to do with this pot. Didn't I?"

"Huh..."

Once again, Raphae has a mouth cage.

"Besides, you don't have the means to collect your soul anymore, do you?

"Huh...?

"Think about it, the point is, even a human soul is good, right? Then the story is simple. You should collect every flesh with your soul. I mean, it's a way to keep him alive."

"Oh no...!!"

"I was rather purposefully extracting my soul from the flesh. It was more unnatural before. It will take a lot of work to carry, but you can leave the area to both junior angels. What do you think, a good idea?!?"

"You can't."

Kiel immediately truncated Gabriel's proposal.

"Ah? Let me explain what's impossible, Kiel"

"... we angels die, and when we lose our souls, the flesh that was enclosing it naturally vanishes. But not in the case of demons and humans. You know why?

"Damn, I'll find out."

"That's because the link between soul and flesh is far stronger than angels. Especially humans. When an angel loses his soul, the connection between the soul and the flesh disappears, and the flesh disappears after the service. But mortals and demons, even if they lose their souls, will not disappear until their connection. So the flesh will remain in this world for a while."

"... I have no idea what you're trying to say."

"It means it's impossible to sacrifice your soul in a state accompanied by flesh. The human flesh and soul are so easily inseparable. Seal used [soul absorption] as its means of detachment. Now that no one can use it..."

"Ah gossip, let it go!!"

You cut the civile, Gabri blocked Kiel's words out loud.

"Are you going to convince me with a religious commentary?!? You won't know until you actually see if you can't!! Pinch your mouth to what the leader says!!"

Gabri screamed like a rebellious boy.

"That's why I'm going to stick around and catch people alive. The required number is 500 more, and there are four Seven Star Angels. I mean, there are 125 norms per person."

"Me too...!?"

Raphae's face turns blue.

"Naturally, though. Or do you mean to disobey the orders of your leader? I'm not as sweet as Seal."

"Me, do that to me...!!"

"Omei doesn't have a veto. Until we get 125 humans alive - no, Omei's got to get at least 200 people together, including what he's been skipping."

Raphae's body begins to tremble on Gabriel's relentless orders.

"No... no... I can't!!"

Saying so, Raphae jumped out of the castle.

"Whoa, where are you going? I thought you could get away from me."

It was Gabriel trying to chase Raphae, but Kiel grabs me by the shoulder.

"Ah? Get off me, Kiel. Now I'm gobbling on that heck of a lot more than Temei's opponent!?"

Kiel's fist bursts into Gabriel's cheek. Gabriel's body blew away, crashing into the walls of the castle and indulging heavily.
