"What do you say, Ute, did you find Raphae?

"... no, he wasn't even here"

I joined Asta in the hallway and reported back to each other.

Since Raphael hasn't been able to come back since he left the room, we decided to finish the game of our lives on the way and search the building.

I would have been sure of my bottom line if I kept playing life games to the end like that, and I was horrified that it was over, but I never found Raphae after about an hour of searching.

I thought lightly at first that this villa might be lost because of its size, but if the five of us can't find it by looking for this much, you can assume that it's not in the building. I don't feel any sign of Raphae nearby before then.

"Go look outside - but it's not raining..."

Asta sighs looking out the window. I heard it would also stop raining tonight, but now it was falling even harder than in the morning.

"Maybe I missed my family and went home. Well, the will of the person is the most important thing, and then I don't have a choice. I thought we had a good company."

I think as Asta groans unfortunately.

Raphae is only one of the Seven Star Angels. I still don't think I can be a human companion, and it is possible that I have returned to The Sanctuary of the Sky.

But would that polite Raphael leave without saying a word of gratitude to us? Even if it isn't, it's at least going to leave as much to write down. Anyway, you don't have a very good feeling...

That's when I detected one sign. Definitely, this is a sign of Raphae. Not in the building, but not so far away.

But I just sensed the signs, and I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact location. Looking around in this rain is a hundred million robberies, and you should rely on the power of the spell here.

"What's wrong, Ute?

"Oh, no... I'll try to find some more upstairs."

I broke up with Asta, and when I went to look for Raphae, I made it look like I was going back to my room, activated [Chiriko] and searched the area of the villa.

Without taking so long, Rafael was easily found. The location is the sandy beach. I'm standing still staring at the sea in this rain for some reason. What the hell are you doing...?

Anyway, I wouldn't be able to leave you alone more than they found me. I activated [Moment Move] and moved it a little further away from Rafael, while reactivating the soluble [Transformation] once and returning to its human appearance.

In my sight, there is a disturbing side of Raphael. I walked out quietly to Rafael. [M]

"... I thought Mr. Ute would come"

You noticed my presence, and Raphael turned to me. Those eyes look different from Raphae's ever. I stopped about five meters from Rafael.

"What are you doing here? If you catch a cold, you don't know."

Even if Raphael is one of the Seven Star Angels, and I don't think he would catch a cold as much as he was struck by a little rain, but I accidentally got that word out of my mouth.

"Everyone's worried, so get him back quickly. Or are you afraid Sue's gonna make you dress like a woman again so you don't want to go back?

I even tried slapping him lightly, but the look on Raphae's face remained the same. Eventually Raphael opened his mouth quietly.

"Mr. Ute. Can you answer one of my questions?

"... what?

After a brief silence flowed, Raphae said in a heavy voice.

"Who is Mr. Ute... the king?

!!

An unexpected Raphae inquiry struck me with an unspeakable shock.

Why did Raphae say that...!? At least there shouldn't have been one word or action that reminded me of the king since Raphae was reunited. What the hell has happened between now and now that I've left the room...!?

"Please answer the question. Who is Mr. Youto, the king?

Rafael asks me again, pushing silence. Please tell me it's different, I can hear that kind of heart from Raphae.

Raphae is the owner of a pure heart. If I deny it here, maybe Rafael will believe me. But still, the suspicion that sprouted once will not disappear.

No matter how much you fix it, I'm the devil, Raphael is the angel. That's no different. I guess this was destined to happen sooner or later. Then let us accept that fate. I was ready and looked straight at Raphae.

"That's right. I'm the king."

At that moment, Raphae's eyes opened wide. The image of me in the back tells me that I'm going to make a noise and break it down. I no longer had to solve the transformation.

"You tricked me... all the time...!?"

"... oh"

"It's not just me... about Asta and the others...!!"

"... oh"

I just had to affirm. Because it is an indisputable fact that I have hidden from everyone that I am a champion and have behaved as a human being.

"But I want you to believe me. I have no intention of falling for you or anyone else. I really want people's souls back."

"You can't believe it!!"

A shout that I didn't think exited my mouth blocked my words.

"There is no way I can believe your words that were killing so many human beings, killing Mr. Uriel, killing Mr. Seal and fooling you all on top of that...!!"

Raphael stares at me with his eyes of anger and sorrow. It soon became clear that the grains of water flowing on its cheeks were not caused by rain.

"How come... more than not you...!!"

…………

I couldn't say anything back. [M]

How long has it been since then? After a long, long silence, Raphael grabbed his fist and released a word of surprise.

"Mr. Ute...... no, the king. Fight me."

I couldn't hide my upset when I signed up for Raphael's duel. Then Raphael turns his gaze to the west.

"There is a wilderness ahead. Late tonight, I'll be waiting there. Sure, come alone."

Raphae's eyes are serious. You are seriously going to fight me. My instincts also told me that this was an inevitable battle.

"... is that to avenge your people?

To my inquiry, Raphael waved a small shake. [M]

"No. This..."

Raphael leans down and turns his wretched back to me.

"... to Mr. Seal, it's a sin."

That's what I said, and Raphael left me quietly.

"Sinful... or"

Words leak from your mouth unconsciously. I stood up on the spot and kept getting hit by cold rain for a long time.
