Episode 163: Discomfort

How long has it been since we wiped out Gabriel's identity? When I returned to me, I recognised what I needed to do now and looked up quietly.

The fact that Rafael was murdered at Gabriel's hands has had a tremendous impact on my mind, but not if I'm depressed now. As a champion, I must always come to things with perseverance. It is only after everything has been done that I shall speak of Raphael.

Let's check on Henri and the others first. It's no surprise that everyone is already burying Gabriel's split and returning to King's Castle.

"This is Ute. Report the current situation."

I spoke to Henri, Peta, and Yuna at the same time.

"This is Yuna. You have completed your mission and are currently on your way back to King's Castle. '

…………

…………

Yuna's voice tells me that she is slowly out of breath. No, Yuna was directional tone deaf, so maybe that's what caused it. Let's just say we go find him if he seems to be home too late.

The problem is that Henri and Peta are not getting any response back. Am I still in the midst of fighting Gabriel's identity? If the two of us had once let as many as 1,000 junior angels be buried lightly, we would have thought that there would be no such thing as Gabriel's identities... What if something happened to you two?

For a moment I also thought I would use [Chili Eye] to see how the two of them were doing, but it takes some time when it comes to skipping sight from here to each of the West and South districts. I'm also concerned about what's going on at King's Castle, and let's just say we go back here once.

I activated [Moving Moments] and followed the Northern District of Devil's Land.

When I returned to the great hall of King's Castle, Henri and Elitra were kneeling before the throne, waiting for me. For a moment, I realized Henri was safe, and I was relieved in my heart.

"Welcome home, Master Ute"

"... um. Guess Gabriel's identities were buried, huh?

"Yes, without delay"

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

I slowly lowered my back to the throne as I laid down my words of labor to Henri. I don't see Peta and Yuna. I'm pretty sure he's not in the castle because I don't even feel any signs nearby.

"Elitra. Were there any anomalies in the castle during the rest of your absence?

"Yeah, especially. Nh ~ Gene -"

"Right. Thank you, Elitra."

We left Elitra considering the possibility of assaulting the castle in the gap where we were fighting Gabriel's identity, but apparently you ended up worried. Come to think of it, I don't think Gabri has that much merit where he attacked King's Castle...

"It's Henri, by the way. I should have connected you earlier, but why didn't you answer?

"What... did you!? Also, sorry, I didn't realize"

"... didn't you notice?

"Yes. How dare I ignore your words…"

Henri lays her eyes down with a look like a lifetime of unconsciousness. It's a rare failure for Henri. Were you just tired of finishing the fight against Gabriel's division?

If you look closely, Henri was wounded everywhere in her body. I lifted my hips from the throne and walked near Henri, kneeling my right hand.

"Spell [Light of Life]"

When I cast the spell, the light enveloped Henri's body and the wounds gradually healed. As for the healing spell, the quality is inferior to [super healing], but that's because it's being lent to Lina [empowerment].

"Oh, thank you. I apologize for the inconvenience."

"... Looks like you've been hit a lot. I didn't think you'd get a hand wound on every Gabriel split, but did you get caught off guard?

…………

Seeing Henri cut her lips together and silenced, I guessed.

"It still looks like something happened. I also spoke to Peta, but she didn't respond. Does that have anything to do with it, too?

"... it's..."

Henri said this after wandering her gaze with a tempting look.

"In the western part of the Devil's Lands, a real Gabriel appeared."

"... what...!?"

Then I was told by Henri's mouth that Peta had lost before Gabriel, that she had gone to rescue and fought Gabriel.

Certainly Gabriel's transvestite also said that one of the four Gabriels who appeared in the Devil's Land was real, but I truncated it as a lie. I didn't know it was true...... Gabriel, a coward, was never on the front himself, but he was dutifully backed up.

"Why didn't you report the rest?

"I don't think you can risk Yout..."

"... well. I was hoping you could report it."

That way, I'll be on my way, and I'll have what I was burying Gabriel with. Henri's worries are troubling. Even if he was supposed to confront me directly because it was about Gabriel most likely he would have taken some measures...

"I'm sorry. But it was a decision I was prepared to blame on Master Ute. We will punish you with any punishment."

"... Fair enough. I'm responsible for everything else."

"Oh, no! Liability etc. to Yout...!!"

The fact that there was a real Gabriel mixed in my body was one possibility, but I decided it was "not" and ruled it out of my head. We should have told everyone about the possibilities if we were to be fully equipped, and we should have prepared measures to deal with them.

"What happened to Gabri after that? Did your safe return mean you buried him?

To my inquiry, Henri shook her head powerless.

"Seeing as the war situation will be unfavourable, Gabri has fled somewhere. I followed him right away, but I couldn't find him... We apologize for not meeting your expectations"

"... never mind. I'm relieved that you didn't have anything to do with it."

"Words without body, too!

Of course that would have been the best thing if Henri had buried Gabriel, but I would say that the achievement was a survival against Gabriel, who absorbed the power of Rafael. Rather, I applaud the fact that Gabriel was to that extent now. Did you only have a few MPs left because of the triplets you generated? Then we'll talk about why you came out on the front...

"So what happened to Peta? He hasn't come back to the castle yet."

"Peta..."

Henri leaning down hard to say. For once, the story is connected, so there won't be anything else in my life, but I'm still worried about it.

After a slight silence, Henri looked up again.

"I said I didn't have a face to match Master Ute, and he went somewhere. He seemed to regret his defeat to Gabri considerably. I was wondering if I would return for the time being..."

"... well. You're a troubled man."

I thought you weren't the type to care about that, but I don't even know what it's like to lose to such a despicable man. He'll be hurt, too, and I'll try to order the demons to go find him later.

With that said, Yuna hasn't come back yet. Then I'll let you find Yuna.

"Ya, I'm back now! I apologize for the delay, Master Ute!

I thought, arrow tip, the big hall door opened and Yuna showed up. I am sweaty all over my body and can see that I have run around quite a bit.

"Ho ho ho. Apparently the usual directional tone deafness has been demonstrated"

"Then don't be stupid, Elitra!! I was just taking a walk outside!!"

There would be better excuses.

"Dear Yout. What do you want to do now?

Henri asks me, and I think for a moment. I have a desire to bury Gabriel as soon as possible, but no more haste than I don't know where he is. Now let's just say we're relieved that we stopped killing wild demons.

"... right. Go back to your room for a moment and rest your body. All three of them will be tired of just finishing their assignments. Especially Yuna."

"Ugh...... Oh, care, it hurts."

Turn your face bright red and lean down Yuna. I guess that was a little mean right now.

"I want you to meet me back here in three hours. Then it shall be dissolved."

"" "Ha!

Henri, Elitra and Yuna rise and walk out towards the door of the Great Hall.

"... Henri"

The name came out of my mouth. Henri stops and looks back at me when she tries to leave the room.

"How did you do? Dear Yout."

"... no, it's nothing. I'm sorry you stopped calling. You can go."

"? Yes......"

After a slightly bewildered look, Henri walks out again. Until I disappeared across the door, I stared quietly at its back.

I wonder what. This discomfort......
