"Don't worry, I've done something wrong. It shouldn't be so fragile that it sinks with this much blow."

"... Goho, geho"

Gabriel rises loosely as he wipes the blood that runs out of his mouth. And stare at Kiel with angry eyes.

"Kiel... how dare you...!!"

"Don't feel bad. Seal told me to beat him up when I was about to do something."

"Heck... that's an annoying will for a long time..."

Pep, and Gabri throw up the blood accumulated in his mouth.

"Not that I know what you're up to, but stop forcing the others into it. Rafael will not cooperate with you. That's the same for me."

"Ho? You're ignoring the leader's orders?

"Emphasize that you are a leader if you do it earlier, but don't think you can follow us with that title alone. If you really want me to hear what you have to say, try and give in."

At that moment the edge of Gabri's mouth was heavily distorted.

"Isn't it superior? Don't get on with it because the seat is above me...!!"

Kiel and Gabriel staring at each other. An atmosphere where intense fighting is likely to begin. But Gabri pulled out his shoulder and waved his cover.

"Uh, stop, stop. It's what you get from meeting Temei. Nothing. It's just a waste of time."

Gabri walks out, barefoot beside Kiel to the entrance to the castle.

"Where are you going?

"Mm-hmm. You're on my own. Think about it. We need to get our feet together. I'll let you do what I want."

That's what I say, Gabri leaves the castle. One Kiel, who remained on this occasion, sighed heavily.

"Seal... I can still admire the amount of equipment he was putting everyone together as he bent over..."

Kiel once again turns his eyes to The Pot of Souls. Now that Gabriel's gone, it's easy to destroy this pot. But Kiel also thought Gabriel had a point.

I certainly don't deserve to do this pot to myself, who has never been involved in human soul hunting before. Besides, Kiel was somewhat hesitant to destroy Seal's intent to leave this pot unattended. I can't let Raphae's feelings go down without saying so.

I was wondering what was going on, and Kiel realized there was a fuss. The surface of the kettle, part of it, was discoloured red.

"That's..."

Eyes gazing Kiel. Obviously some kind of spell is applied to that part. And Kiel remembered the spell.

That's a spell called [voice recording]. Something about recording your voice on some of the inorganic objects. Kiel used to play with Seal with this spell at an early age.

Kiel softly touches the part, wondering if. Then...

"Rafael, Micah, Gabriel, and Kiel. This voice was recorded seven days ago by Seal."

A familiar voice for Kiel plays it. As Kiel foresaw, it was a message left by Seal.

By the time you hear this, I'll have lost to the king and disappeared from the world. So I want you to think of it as a will and ask. "

It must have been recorded assuming that you were all listening, but there is only Kiel on this occasion. Kiel continues to listen to Seal.

'First I must apologize to you. It was by the will of the eagle that we decided to hunt human souls. But somewhere in my heart, I've always regretted that...'

That was SEAL's true intent, not false at all.

'It takes sacrifice to accomplish something... I told myself so many times. But in the end, until the end, this regret was never dispelled. With that in mind, I didn't keep hunting my soul. Seven Stars Angel Leader Disqualification...'

…………

Kiel arms in silence. For Kiel, who has known about Seal for a long time, this monologue was not so shocking. Instead, I was even convinced that "it still was".

But Kiel gets more and more confused. Then I wonder why Seal left this pot. The answer was in the continuation of the audio.

"Well, it's not funny when you hear me talk about my remorse forever, but this is where it comes from. If the eagle dies, there will be no one who can use [soul absorption], and no more means of collecting human souls. So you'd think this pot had become useless too. But... '

Here the voice of Seal is interrupted once. Probably wondering if it's something to convey. And after a brief silence, Seal's voice resumed.

"But at this stage, there is already a way to revive the phantom beast."

"... what?

Kiel unexpectedly opens his eyes. Then Seal's voice told Kiel how to do it.

"... I see. Surely that way we can revive the phantom beast..."

Kiel shrugged heavily. The human soul necessary for the resurrection of the phantom beast is 1,000. The human soul there is now 500. Though at first sight it seems impossible to revive the phantom beast, the revival of the phantom beast will be possible using the method conveyed by Seal.

'But not very much, but this way is not something I can recommend. So I want this to be just a last resort.'

Kiel thought it was lucky Gabriel wasn't here. Because Gabriel can move to execution without hesitation.

'I want you to decide what to do with this pot. Follow what the dead say. Destroy it now, use it for some bargaining material, or keep it as your last trump card.'

Kiel finally understood Seal's intention to leave this pot behind.

'Just one last thing. I want you to destroy the champion. Not for revenge, but for the future of the world. Goodbye then...'

So Seal's audio is over. A little grin spills over Kiel's mouth.

"Do you wish peace in the world, even before your own death? What a sight..."

But even after hearing Seal's message, Kiel still had trouble deciding what to do with this pot. Which choice is best fulfilled? In the first place, Kiel believed that it was unlikely that the King would become a threat to the peace of this world.

But that's where Kiel remembers. To fulfill the wish left by Seal, that it was his belief.

"It's also a pleasure to entrust a choice to fate..."

Kiel quietly followed the scene, leaving behind the 'pot of souls'.
