After my turbulent date with Sue, I turned to the back door of the coffee shop earlier. If you wait here, Kiel will notice my presence with signs. I'm sure he'll come out when it's time for a break.

And enough to wait. As I thought, the back door opened and Kiel showed up.

"I'm sorry, I asked you to come all the way out"

"Not at all. I'm not supposed to be allowed to rest in battle."

As always, they say part-time is no different for Kiel than battlefield. But again, the uniform apron doesn't look good at all.

"Are you better? Looks like there was a woman with her."

"Oh. I got you home first"

"Right. But you're not the same woman I've seen before."

"Ugh."

I accidentally catch my breath. Speaking of which, you also ran into Kiel during your date with Serena...

"After all, when you become a champion, you mean that there is no such thing as letting one or two women serve you"

"No, there's a deep wack in this... Well, more than that, Kiel's the one who started working part-time again. Sure you didn't say before that you no longer had to work part-time?

I wanted to cut this story off early, so I shook another topic.

"Thanks to someone's help, I've lived a long time unwillingly. Now that I've had to believe again, I've decided to inspire my journey back to the battlefield to discover new beliefs.

"People don't listen to you well when it comes to mediation. Well, it's fine to work part-time, but do you have good responsibilities as a seven-star angel? I'm not sure what's going on over there."

Micah, who was to live with her sister Yuna at King's Castle, and Raphae, whose body became man, could be said to have descended the throne of the Seven Star Angels as well. Now the Seven Star Angel will be Kiel alone.

"Huh, I didn't expect you to worry about burying the Seals. Rest assured, those above (the sanctuary of the sky) have left it to the six newly appointed to the seat of the Seven Star Angels. It seems to me that the battlefield is more suited to sex."

"... you're still free, Kiel is"

I wish Kiel had retired as well, but he's going to say something like, "That's nothing more than an act of betraying the will of the late Seal" because it's about Kiel. The other six would be a good nuisance though.

"Well, you've had enough foresight. Why don't you get down to business soon? You weren't expecting me to talk like that."

"... right"

I only came here until I broke off my date with Sue because I really wanted to ask Kiel something.

"But before you do, can you take off your uniform apron? I had a hard time laughing earlier."

I said as I looked at the floral apron Kiel was wearing. It's too surreal, and I don't even think I'm doing it for you anymore. I can't even talk seriously about this.

"Where are the laughing elements? Even though we are resting on that, it doesn't make any difference that we are in the middle of a war now. Where are the warriors who throw away their own armor on the battlefield?"

"... oh yes"

I felt the persuasion was futile, and I had no choice but to continue the conversation.

"What I want to ask you is Elitra."

Was it an unexpected statement, Kiel, who opens his eyes.

"It's been a month since we fought the phantom beast, but we still don't know where he is. I was wondering if you'd get a clue as to where you were if you fought Elitra twice. I want you to let me know if you know anything about Elitra."

Wherever you are, there are clues to where you are. Even if we don't look this way, there will come a time when we'll look like him.

But there's so much I don't know about him that it's not my intention to settle in such a state. So before I did, I thought I needed to know a little bit about him. That's the least you can do as someone who bent over and kept him under control.

"I ask the other way, how far do you know about Elitra?

"That he's human. And as much as I have an immeasurable grudge against humans."

Elitra dared to lay down against me. [M] Kiel doesn't look very surprised, he arms up and breathes.

"I see. Did you already know that..."

In this way, Kiel apparently knew too. But we don't even know why Elitra has a grudge against humans. And that's why I want to know the most. Does Kiel know something...?

After a brief silence, Kiel quietly opened her mouth.

"I don't know if it's a clue... Seven years ago, I met him."

"! Seven years ago...!?"

"Seven years ago, a village was destroyed by a seven-star angel. The village is like the village of Meres. Elitra is the only survivor of that time."

"The Seven Stars Angel took the village...!?"

I couldn't hide my surprise at the newly discovered facts.

"Kiel was also a seven-star angel at the time, wasn't he? Why are you imitating that..."

"... I don't know. I wasn't directly involved in the Melès Village case. But I still regret not being able to stop it."

Kiel's fist is shaking slightly. Why the hell did such an incident occur? And what happened behind that incident...

"But that shouldn't be a reason for Elitra to resent humans. I know if you resent angels..."

"I don't know either. Well, you're gonna find out for yourself what's ahead from there. Honestly, I don't really want to remember that."

Kiel said in a rare and unhectic voice. Even a man like Kiel seems to have one or two of the past he wants to forget. Let's not step into the details of that case now.

"That's about all I know about Elitra. If you go to Melès Village, you might get something else."

That said, Kiel turns her back on me.

"Time for rest is over. I'm going back to battlefield."

"... ok. Thanks, Kiel."

"Huh, it's not enough to be thanked. Masterful."

Kiel disappeared into the store. Now, what if I go back to Sasha's gym, too? I walk slowly under a completely dark sky. [M]

"The village of Meres, or..."
