Episode 12: The Secret of the ribbon/ribbon memory

Bell and Knight were walking along the seaside road illuminated by the morning and yang; the two were aboard the airship and arriving at Brace River in a short time. I hear Lili and the others left a little later, and I still don't see her.

When this mission is a trap, it has not yet been decided. For one thing, the two pretended to be carrying out a "pirate exorcism” mission that was told to them by the Knights Commander. If you can successfully deceive the Knights' eyes and escape, you've never crossed it.

"Sounds peaceful, but are there pirates?"

"The number of people traveling to and from Brace River is not a ratio of other cities. It's no wonder the people at risk are lost."

Bell and Knight continue to pretend to carry out their pirate exorcism mission. You shouldn't make any more suspicious moves than you don't know where the Knights are watching.

"Oh, that..."

As she walked pretending to look for pirates for a while, Bell discovered something familiar.

"Isn't that his ribbon? So that's the ribbon thief stuffed animal!

⁉ ︎

What Bell found was that black stuffed animal who stole Lili's ribbon. Knight was right, he was still in Brace River.

Discovering Lili's treasure, Bell quickly rushes toward the stuffed animal, but the stuffed animal who realizes it hastily escaped. A stuffed animal with small but feathers flies at a much faster rate than a bell.

Now I have to pretend I'm on a mission, but for Bell, getting the ribbon back was a higher priority than a mission.

"Hey, wait, Cora!

"Someone told me to wait and wait! Idiot!"

Black stuffed animals keep getting further and further away from the bell. Bell continued to chase after the stuffed animal with a selfless obsession.

"I'm busy with stuffed animals. Don't lick it!

Speaking of great distances, Bell set fire to the fire.

The fireworks that flew out of the magic formation deployed on Bell's right hand flew faster than the stuffed flying speed and landed in front of the stuffed animal.

The direction of travel was closed by a flaming wall, and the black stuffed animal lost its escape.

"Gotcha"

Still, it was a stuffed animal trying to escape, but he was easily seized by Bell.

"Let go of me, Konoyaro."

"Let go, you idiot."

Black stuffed animals are desperate, but they never get out of Bell's hands. Even if you can talk and fly, it's a stuffed animal. It is no match for human power.

"If you give me that ribbon back, I can let you go, okay?

"This is a yummy ribbon!

The black stuffed animal has a long tail wrapped around her and holds Lili's ribbon looking important.

"What are you talking about? It's not yours. That's important to Lili!

"Shut up! Whatever you say, this is delicious!

"Damn... I don't know what that means"

Belle was a little confused by the stuffed animal claiming to be the owner of the ribbon. That ribbon is what Lili inherited from her mother. Even if I'm wrong, it's not a weird stuffed ribbon in front of Belle.

"This doesn't belong to a woman like that Lili! This ribbon belongs to Stella!

"Stella......?

Belle was trying to pull that familiar name out of her memory as it popped out of her stuffed mouth.

"Could it be Stella Wallace?"

"What is it? You know Stella?

Stella Wallace. That, it goes without saying, the parent of Lili's upbringing. Still sleeping in Riorg, the Commonwealth of Limia, a Lili loved one. I've been poking and moving Lili at all times, source of power.

Why, the black stuffed animal in front of Belle seems to know someone named Stella Wallace.

"I don't know, but Stella is Lili's mother."

"What ⁉ does Stella have a daughter ⁉?"

"That's why you're telling me, isn't it? Give me that ribbon back if you know what I mean."

"I don't like it. I'm not giving you the ribbon!

Even knowing about Stella's relationship with Lili, the stuffed animal didn't try to give her the ribbon as hard as she could.

"What the hell. How do you know about Lili's mother?

"Oi is not a stuffed animal"

"Huh? Doesn't matter what one looks like, it's a stuffed animal, right?

"Sure this body is a stuffed animal, but yummy is the devil! You got a real name, too, huh? That's a fine name for Halfus!

"Halfas......?. Harry! How do you know Stella Wallace? Answer my question."

⁉ ︎

When Belle asked me one more time about my relationship with Stella, for some reason Harry looked surprised. Was there anything in Bell's words right now that would hook him up?

"What... is that why you can't say anything?

"No... Speaking of which, that's what Stella used to call it"

Harry's face was worried. There are fewer variations in the look of a stuffed animal than there are in humans, but I can still understand that Harry is immersed in sentiment.

"What do you mean? I knew you knew about Lili's mother, didn't you?

"Ah. How many years ago was that..."

Harry began to think about his relationship with the unknown Stella Wallace in conversation with Bell.

About 41 years ago now. One Deer Summoner was present in a mansion in the Limia Federation and Port Town of Riorg.

Deer Summoner is a summoning instrument that the devil places in the world of Oz in order to take away human souls. Whoever touches the tool, or uses it, will be summoned before the eyes of the devil.

It was a black stuffed animal. Exactly, he looks exactly like the stuffed animal who stole Lili's ribbon. Once upon a time, that black stuffed animal was Dia Summoner of the demon Halfas.

Around this time, the black stuffed animal was nestled in the corner of the mansion's storage. It was supposed to be somewhere else, and I guess we got to this mansion by patrolling it. Now no one in the mansion noticed, and the stuffed animal wore dust.

"Is that it?... Are you lost?

One day like that, one girl discovers a stuffed animal full of dust.

The girl, featuring gray hair, stepped inside the dusty storage and found a cute stuffed animal. The girl stood in front of the stuffed animal as she defiled the navy blue piece.

Her hair like that was tied with a distinctive black ribbon.

"You're weird. [M] What animal is it?

The pure girl speaks all the time to a stuffed animal in a soft tone. From what I've seen, my age looks like I was in my mid-teens, and I'm still playful. Even though she was young, she had a deep affection and a rich imagination.

"I'm Stella. Nice to meet you!"

The girl Stella smiles innocently, without even knowing that it is the devil's tool in front of her.

And as it was, Stella held up a dusty stuffed animal. Stella was supposed to be summoned to the devil's world at that moment, but nothing happened. Has it lost its power as Dia Summoner because it has been untouched and left untouched by anyone for a long time?

Stella carefully removed the dust she had worn on her stuffed animal and took her cuddle back to her room.

Then again, Stella spent all her time with that stuffed animal. Wake up, sleep, eat, or go somewhere.

To say that even if you touch it every day every day, you won't be summoned to the devil's world will still have lost the power you were supposed to have.

Stella felt like her brother with a black stuffed animal. On both the day to come and the day to come, the girl was pouring on the stuffed animal, drawing on the bottomless kindness of her forehand. Hugs, talking, and sometimes deception. The longer we spent together, the more “black stuffed animals” became essential to Stella.

"Ugh... that's fun!

Stella, as usual, was playing with the stuffed animal.

Stella was grabbing the stuffed animal and moving it so that it looked like it was flying against the background. With her rich imagination in front of her, she is immersed in a world of fantasy with stuffed animals.

The plush face that shouldn't have a look on its face, because it also looks like it's laughing. The more I made her think so, Stella seemed to have fun playing. With this stuffed animal, the girl could play forever.

"Is that it? Is this... Where?

Stella, who had forgotten her time and immersed herself in the world of fantasy, had at some point stepped into a dark world.

No matter how much you look around, you can't see anything. The only thing that spreads is just darkness.

"I'm scared..."

Stella was terrified of the dark. You were supposed to be in a fantasy world earlier, but there's no such thing as that stuffed animal beside Stella. The fact that I've only been alone applauds Stella's fears.

Even if you're scared, if you don't do anything, you won't solve anything. Stella understood that.

Shaking her legs, the girl walks out in search of light. If you can at least find it in the slightest light, it should ease your anxiety a little.

"Hey, Stella."

That's when Stella's ear got an unfamiliar voice.

……⁉ ︎

What Stella, looking back, witnessed was the most horrible monster in the world. Even though we are in the dark, we can clearly see what the monster looks like.

Stella was too scared to even speak. In front of me is a lovely bird at first glance, but its body size was not normal. It's many times bigger than Stella.

The bird's monster eyes are glowing bright red, and staring all the time is going to make me feel bad. I could also check the head for something like a tuna.

Above all, the scary thing is its shape. The floating face of a bright red eye terrorizes the beholder.

Stella couldn't move because of fear.

"Ah... ah..."

"Hmm?"

"Ah... who are you?

Stella, exciting herself, shook her voice. The girl is bravely confronted with a horrible monster that could strike me right now. Tears were telling on her cheeks like that.

"Come on, Halfas. It's a horrible demon. I'm going to have your soul!

Stella was not lost in the dark, but summoned to the world of the devil by black magic (Grimoire) hung on her stuffed animal. The power lodged in the stuffed animal did not disappear. I guess I was aiming for a fit just in time.
