"Hey Raphae. I'm sorry to call you all of a sudden."

Raphae arrived at the top of the mountain. There was a figure of Gabriel walking on a large rock. Raphael closes his back feather and descends beneath that rock.

"... how could Mr. Gabri be in human territory?

"Ah? That's to keep humans alive. We need 500 more souls to revive the phantom beast."

Hearing that, Raphae's body starts to tremble.

"I knew that was the purpose...!? I've told you many times, I'm not going to do that...!!"

"Well, listen to me till the end. Sure, that was the purpose at first, but now it's not."

"... Huh?

It means no more humans alive.

Gabri descends from the rocks and stands on the same ground as Raphae.

"I've thought about it a lot, but it's wrong for us, the proud Seven Star Angels, to dye our hands in a barbaric place to hunt human souls or catch them alive. That's why I thought about it, and I swore I'd never do it again."

…………

Regardless of whether that was Gabriel's true intent or not, Rafael had the same idea in terms of those places of work being wrong.

"So, Mr. Gabri called me here...?

"Hey, I wanted to give Omei one piece of deafening information. There was a man named Ute among the people you were with, wasn't there?

"... Yes. How could Mr. Gabri give Mr. Ute's name...?

Gabri laughed invincibly, and opened his mouth.

"Don't be surprised to hear it. What a man he is - a king."

"... Huh?

Raphae turned bright white in his head and took a few seconds to understand the meaning of the word.

"... Ha. What are you talking about, Mr. Gabri? Isn't that Yuto the king..."

Raphae with a dry grin. But the voice was surely trembling.

"I can't believe it either. I don't know how that bastard can be perfectly human. But I saw the moment the man turned into a king."

Gabriel's split, to be exact, but the split and body consciousness were connected. Previously Gabri's split encountered and defeated a humane uto in the midst of a soul hunt. At that time Gabriel's split was certainly witnessing the moment.

"Just stop joking. Oh, that's why..."

"Am I lying to you? Assuming you did, do you think you'd have the advantage of lying to me like that?

"It's..."

"Look, Raphae, try to remember what that man said and did, one by one. If he's a champion, there's got to be some weird, tight parts."

…………

Raphae traces his own memories.

Ut rode Seal's invitation to reclaim the souls of the people and told him he had come to "The Seven Stars of Mitsukishi". And shortly after Ute left, he tried to be replaced, and the king and his four men raided "The Seven Stars of the Light Castle". And when Raphael confronted the king, he said, "I am here to reclaim the soul of man."

The assault of the reigning king as if shown together, and the complete match between the two aims. If these strange discomforts are "uto-hegemonic," they disappear beautifully. If it is true that these two are the same person, the tsuji fit too often.

"Apparently, there's a verse that comes to mind."

Gabriel grinned a lot about whether he had drawn that from Raphae's expression.

"Now you know what I mean? The king deceives you and the humans, and blends them into their circles with nothing to eat. Well, then, what the hell is the king up to?"

And funny, Gabri says. Still, though, Raphae could not fully believe that Euto's identity was the reigning king.

"Is that face still half-hearted? Isn't it the quickest way to ask the person in person?

With that said, Gabri walked over to the immediate vicinity of Raphae and gently put his hand on his shoulder.

"And when you get the certainty that you're the king... you know what I mean? We have to fight Seal's enemies at all costs..."

"... I... with the King...!?"

Gabri's mouth angle is heavily distorted.

"Yes, Omei can defeat the king. Usually unreliable. On top of this, if Omei is serious, its power far outweighs the other Seven Star angels. Naturally, including the late Seal."

…………

Raphae did not deny it.

"It's not just to avenge our people. If we let the king go wild like this, he'll destroy this world sooner or later. It is the mission of our seven-star angels to defeat the King before that time comes, as well as the sorrow of the late Seal. Don't you?"

"... but the king was trying to regain people's souls. Would such a person destroy the world......?

"Huh? Are you seriously believing that? There's no way that the champion is going to imitate saving humans."

"Yes, but the king did say that..."

"You've decided to lie to confuse Omei. That's how much a kid would know."

The King has a priori who burned down 50,000 human beings in an instant. It's normal to think of it as bullshit, such as such a reigning king trying to reclaim people's souls. Ask a hundred people and they will all answer the same.

"Even if it's true, it doesn't change the fact that he killed Seal. Can you forgive a guy like that?

"That's..."

Raphae's fist trembles.

Surely what Seal did may have been wrong. Still, Seal was constantly caring about Raphae, whose heart was never strong.

It is no exaggeration to say that so far Raphael came as a seven-star angel because of the presence of Seal. It goes without saying that such Ceal's death inflicted a great deal of grief on Raphae.

"Think carefully, Raphae. What do you have to do now?"

"... I..."

Raphae leans down and remains silent for a while. Eventually Raphael held one determination in his chest and gave an answer.
