Mr. Kiel takes the boulevard in his unmistakable footsteps, and then I sneak after him.

I didn't know I'd be the one stalking the old man. But if I use the spell, [Transformation] will be lifted, and there's no other way.

And a few minutes to tail. If I had noticed, I would have come out of town unpopular. Where the hell is Mr. Kiel headed?

That's when I got a hunch in the back of my brain. No way......

Suddenly Mr. Kiel stops. And with his back to this one, Mr. Kiel said this to the void.

"Why don't you show yourself, King?"

"... I knew you'd find out"

I noticed. I showed myself from the shadow of the building. [M] If I could detect Mr. Kiel's signs, it would come as no surprise that the opposite is happening. After confirming once again that there were no signs of people around me, I released [the Transfiguration] and returned to the appearance of the King.

"What are you doing here, Angel of the Seven Stars? Are you on your way home from work?

When I threw the question, Mr. Kiel pointed his body towards me.

"What? I've just said goodbye to so many battlefields this way."

"... you've resigned from all the part-time jobs,"

Mr. Kiel returned the answer in silence. At the same time, I'm a little surprised at myself for being able to understand Kiel naturally.

"What kind of blow did you put so much effort into your part-time job?

"Until now I have unconsciously sought a true place and my beliefs, crossing various battlefields. But now that I've finally found faith, I no longer need it."

"... Hmm?

Was such a mood lurking behind doing part-time accounting at the grocery store and balloon distribution at the park? Something's a little uneven. It sounds like Mr. Kiel around.

"The purpose for which you were tailing me is speculative. Odd. To get information about Pot of Soul, right?

"... you're right"

I honestly admitted that I couldn't help but delude myself.

"Where is' Pot of Soul 'now?

"You think it's easy to teach? We could have clouded the tea, but the pot rests in our new base."

It still looks like "Pot of Soul" is in Mr. Kiel's hands right now.

"Now that Seal's dead, the pot must have turned into a useless long object for you. Why do you still have it on hand despite that?

…………

"You know perfectly well that you are not willing to destroy the world. You should no longer have any reason to be hostile to us. What the hell harm would it do to free a human soul?

"... that's something interesting to say. You think there's no reason to antagonize Uriel, Yeg, and you guys who buried Seal?

Mr. Kiel said with a smile.

"I'll tell you because you seem to be mistaken. Sure enough, me and you are the comrades who once survived the battlefield together. But I never meant to be on your side. You're no stranger to the fact that the King of Champions is the enemy of a seven-star angel."

There was no objection. If I was in the opposite position, there's no way I could have been killed and kept quiet. Mr. Kiel goes on to say more.

"Remember the words I exchanged when I confronted you in" The Seven Stars of Mitsukishi "?

"... oh"

I didn't want to fight you if I could, and Kiel agreed. I then entrusted Mr. Kiel's opponent to Elitra, so I didn't end up fighting.

"But not like then. Now I have a firm will to fight you."

"... is that to avenge your people?

To my inquiry, Mr. Kiel waves a small shake.

"As I said before, it's not my doctrine to decide a female male for the reason of her fellow haters. Otherwise, that's what Uriel was supposed to be doing when he was killed."

"So why do you want to fight the rest?

"... because that's what Seal entrusted me with."

Mr. Kiel grips it quietly after staring at his right hand.

"I'm familiar with him. I became a seven-star angel because I couldn't help but be drawn to him. I've been swung away for a long time, but his presence has become indispensable in talking about me half my life."

Mr Kiel said as he missed somewhere.

"... fulfilling Seal's wishes is your" belief "?"

"That's what I'm talking about"

What is poking and moving Mr. Kiel now is a wish entrusted to him by the late Seal. The atmosphere was clearly different from when we were working part-time together.

Even so, that's only 70% of the reason.

"... well. And the other 30%?

"It's simple."

I accidentally spill a laugh at Mr. Kiel.

"My flesh is screaming... he wants to fight you to the extreme. Yes, this is my instinct as a warrior, so to speak. I can't help but feel how powerful you are when you defeat that Seal, and how painful this flesh wants to try it."

Hitting and changing from earlier, Mr. Kiel's eyes were burning hot like a boy's. This is exactly what I knew about Mr. Kiel.

"You know why I led you all the way to an unpopular place? If you want your human soul back, let me defeat you on this occasion. If I could do that, I'd give you the pot of my soul."

"Come on, what will you do, king? My challenge, take it or not."

A smile spills unconsciously on me, too. Is that what Mr. Kiel didn't let go of the 'pot of souls'? Even if there were no such condition, it would mean that a man would be obsolete if he were told to go so far and back off.

"I guess there's no falsehood in that word?

"Whatever. There are no two words for warriors."

"... fine. But there's more to bear. I'm sorry, but I'm going to leave you alone."

"I don't have to be"

The nasty atmosphere begins to dominate the scene. Finally, this is the time. I'll settle with Mr. Kiel, this is the time. And the curtain of battle was cut and dropped, and then...

"Ut! Where are you!? Ut!

I heard one voice from far away. This voice... Serena!?

Shit, you can't let Serena see you as king. I immediately activated [Transformation] and became human.

"Ah! I finally found it!

Serena showed up shortly afterwards and ran over to me.

"Duh, why is Serena here?

"That's our dialogue! I'm worried you're not coming back. I'm looking for you! What are you doing here?"

"Uh..."

Kiel took a small breath when I was having trouble responding.

"Looks like we should drop it off for today."

Mr. Kiel turned his back on me and went on like this.

"Five days later," wait in the beginning of the land. Then shall we decide the male and the female? "

Land of beginnings. I guess that refers to the first grocery store that Kiel and I met.

Mr. Kiel is not the kind of person to make a lie. Five days from now, if you go there, Mr. Kiel will be waiting for me.

"Okay, Mr. Kiel. No...... Kiel"

"... that's fine"

Finally, Kiel turned to us again.

"Is that your lover?

"... oh"

"... well. Take care of yourself."

Leaving that to say, Kiel left the scene slowly.

"Ute, who is that guy?

Serena looks at my face and Kiel's back alternately, strangely. I laughed at Serena and said:

"It's just my part-time buddy Osama."
