"So, how come you, the Seven Star Angel, are in human territory?

"! That's..."

Back to the dark look again, Raphae pushing silence. It's hard to imagine there's some kind of bad plan because it's about this guy. I wonder if there was something unpleasant in "The Seven Stars of Mitsukishi" that popped up.

"Well, if you don't want to tell me, fine."

"... thank you"

Raphael thanked him with a powerless voice and carried the tea I had offered to his mouth.

"... The other day, the King of Champions and the Four Extinct Demons attacked the" Light Castle of the Seven Stars "to wage a massive battle with us Seven Star Angels. Even so, I couldn't do anything..."

Then Raphae started talking about what happened ten days ago.

"When confronted by the king, I questioned him about the purpose of the invasion. That's when I found out he was here to reclaim people's souls."

I know that too. Because the person who answered that is here.

"... Yout asked the king, didn't he? He wants people's souls back."

"Huh?"

"Mr. Seal was wondering if the King and Mr. Ute were connected. I thought Mr. Ute gave the king information... isn't he?

"... well, yes, you get it! As a matter of fact, I've known the King a long time! Oh, don't tell anyone about this!?"

"Yes, I know"

Apparently, that's what's happening in Raphae's brain. That would be more convenient for me, and I'll talk to you around here. Normally, no one can imagine me being the king I've turned into a human being.

"But according to what I've heard, in the end, the champion failed to recapture the human soul, didn't he?

"... Yes"

"Besides, the king killed your leader, Seal... Now you resent a pretty big champion, don't you?

When I said that, Rafael grabbed the sheets of the bed tightly.

"I do have the feeling that I can't forgive you for less. But more than that... I can't forgive myself"

"... yourself?

Raphae nods small.

"At that time, I unconsciously put Mr. Seal's life and people's souls on the scale. And when I chose the soul of the people, I sent the king to Seal..."

Raphae's voice trembles slightly.

"If I had stopped the king, Mr. Seal might not have had to die. So..."

After the silence, Rafael looked back at me hah.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's sappy what you're talking about when you tell a story like this to Mr. Ute, right? Forget it."

"... oh"

Anyway, I know I was there. Even if Raphael had stopped me, I would have broken through and Seal would have been killed by me either way. That's something Raphae should have noticed too.

But that has nothing to do with Rafael. I guess I can't forgive myself for putting "Seal's life" and "people's souls" on the balance and truncating "Seal's life".

- But that's all I'm saying. Whatever the consequences, don't just regret it.

Shortly before I went to Seal, I said this to Raphael. But now Raphae obviously regrets the choice he made then. If he stays like this, Rafael will be crushed by his own heart.

Then Raphael stepped out of bed and rose flirtatiously.

"Hey, what are you doing! You still have to rest!

"No, I can't bother you any more. I would be so big...!

Raphael was about to fall, so I took it with my chest.

"Where is it going to be okay! Just stay asleep!

It was then. The door to the room opened and everyone came in ahead of Asta.

"Well, I was down by the sea last night, and what the hell kind of guy..."

Asta's words stop. Serena, Sue and Lina give a flashing look. Silence comes as if time had stopped.

So I realized. In everyone's eyes, it looks like me and Rafael are holding each other in a room just for the two of us.

"Yout you... were you actually that way..."

"No!!"

"Ut. There's something called Serena, but it can't be"

"So no!!"

"It's okay. Still, I'm your brother's sister..."

"Until Lina!?"

"Oh no... Ut...!!"

"Why are you crying, Serena!? Trust me. YEAH YEAH YEAH!!"

I spent an hour solving everyone's misunderstandings.

Then we convinced Raphael to put him back in bed and made him promise to make a big deal out of this villa for the day.

"I'll introduce myself for now. I'm Sue. Next door is Serena, Yut's lover."

"Come on, you don't have to tell your lover."

"Next to it is Lina, Yut's sister. His real name is unknown."

"Lina is your real name!?"

"Next to it... uh..."

"Hey, you're lying, Sue!?"

"Joke. He's Asta. I'm not here any more, but Sasha and the kids are plentiful. I was a member of the Exciting Alliance of Friends."

How long has it been that name?

"I'm Rafael."

"Raphae? Say hello."

Asta offers her hand and exchanges a handshake with Raphae.

"... are you sure you want to stay here?

"Ouch. We're basically anyone's welcome."

"... thank you. By the way, Sue said earlier, 'There are a lot of kids,' but are you keeping the kids here?

"Oh. This is a vacation home to be exact, and I usually live in Azito, which is a little far away. All children deprived of their closeness by the Seven Star Angels."

!!

Raphae's eyes open wide.

"My best friend and Serena's sister were also deprived of their souls by seven-star angels. What's wrong, Rafael? What's wrong with you?

"Oh, no. It's okay, it's..."

Raphae said in a way that he couldn't hide the shock. Neither is it impossible, Raphae feels more responsible than anyone for the fact that the Seven Star Angels took people's souls. Besides, it would be inevitable to hurt your chest if you saw those who were in an unfortunate situation because of it.

Asta and the others do not know that Raphael is a seven-star angel. Earlier Asta said, "Anybody welcome," but knowing that fact wouldn't be enough.
