Finally, we have arrived.
"This is the Kingdom of White Pearl..."
Human kingdom, right?
"Oh, for Prim, the journey begins.For me... there's nothing there. "
The beginning of the journey is the Kingdom of White Pearl, but I've never been here before.I immediately headed for the port and the Blue Sapphire Kingdom.
Maybe it's the beginning of a journey for me in a way.
I blurt out my wrist and snap my neck.
What's the matter?
Nh, it could be a battle soon.
When I pound my fist, the powder of fire flies.
Abdiel snorted his throat and watched his surroundings.
So far, I don't feel hostile.It's been a fight since we got into town.
The enormous gate is empty, so the two of us lined up in the city... and the soldiers stopped us.
Please wait, you must be Master Valfrere.
Yeah, but...
"His Majesty the King is expecting you." This way, please. "
……
Somehow, it's going to be easy.
Meet with Abdiel and ask him for his opinion.
What do we do?
"Whatever you do, you're going to the Royal Castle, right?" Do you have a choice? "
”I don't know... it's always after a beating or a rampage, so just beat it out.”
"... it's a good thing you don't have to waste any effort."
Well, sure.
I'll tell the soldier.
Well, I'll show you around.
"Okay, I'll have a carriage for you. Come here."
When I went with the soldiers, a fine carriage stopped.
The carriage door was open, and there were drinks and sweets in the carriage.
When we sit down, the door closes and the carriage runs slowly.
Now, I'm going to reach for the cookies.
"No, it's good. The sweets are umuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"It's you... be a little nervous."
"It's okay...... Mogumo... no, I've never felt so relaxed before."Maybe White Pearl Kingdom is a good place. "
"... haa"
Abdiel sighs.
The horse-drawn carriage leisurely ran through the castle town... opened the window and looked at the town.
"I don't think the slave trade organization is doing that kind of thing in the city..."
The town was at peace.
The adventurers laughed as they skewered, the children threw balls and played, and the merchant's carriage passed by.Everyone on the road seems healthy and energetic.
I can't imagine there's a ghetto outside the city full of kids.
Maybe it's because it's such a bright city that the darkness is so deep.
"Human darkness... even I, an angel, have been terrified of human malice."Angels don't care about human life, but even human beings can treat life like garbage.I'm not surprised. "
…………
Abdiel is right.I've seen enough in the slave trade organization to hate it.
By the time the cookies were gone, I had arrived at the White Pearl Royal Castle.
Get out of the carriage and look up at the pure white castle.
"I see." Hey, why is the castle so big? "
Hmm? Because when you get struck, it becomes a big, robust fortress.
Hmmm.
”That's why... I'm picking you up”
"... oh"
There was a familiar face in front of the castle gate.
Pure white spellbinding clothes, white hair, red eyes.A little younger than me...... Hakuren was watching us.
When my eyes meet, the stars walk in.
At some point the carriage left and there was no one around.
"It's been a long time, Flare."
Where are the Prims?
Everyone is here. Master wants to talk to you.
"... let me show you around"
Nh, over here.
Haklen points to the castle and walks to the stasta.
I was on maximum alert, and Abdiel was sweating and nervous.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"Thanks for that... but I can fight too." I won't be alarmed anymore. "
The royal castle was very quiet.
There are few signs of people.I don't know, isn't there a maid, a knight, a soldier working in a castle like this?
Enough to proceed with Hakuren's guidance.After passing through the courtyard, we arrived at a small white building.
There's a master here.
Where are the Prims?
None.
"Huh? Hey, Prim and the others..."
First of all, Master's story.
"...... I understand"
"You, this way."
Huh?
Haklen grabbed Abdiel's wrist ─ ─ and for an instant, she shed her magic.
"Gu, ah..."
"Abdiel!? What are you doing?!"
"I just made you a little numb. Flair, hurry to the master."
"You...."
"Hurry up."
Haklen was completely emotionless.
If we refuse, we may kill Abdiel.
He took on the role of Abdiel, and Haklen walked.
…………
I see a white building.
And then we went to the door... and carefully opened it.
After all, it was Vajri-san who was there.
"Flare... it's good to see you again."
…………
"I can make tea now." Come on, sit down. "
The interior was unified in white.
Chairs, tables, tea sets. Mostly white.
When I sit on the soft-looking sofa, Sister Vajri will serve me tea.
I didn't put my hand on it and cut it out.
"What do you mean? Why did you call me?"
”I thought I'd talk to you... about the 'Three Pillars of Paradise'.”
"Three Pillars of Paradise..."
"Those are the gods who have taken hold of the 'vessels' of this world.One of the aims is to erase all living things in this world, create a "new human", and create a new world. "
"... I can't do that."
"Yes, if they and the angels and the new humans... have improved souls and bodies like ours."
…………
"Please, Flair, it's not too late.Swear allegiance to them.With you as the Devil of Hellfire and the Artifact of the Beginning God, the New World is at hand. "
"No, I can't. I hate them."
"... yes."
Sister Vajri fell down.
I can see you're really sad... but I won't pull it.
I can't help it ─ ─... that's it?
Vajri's finger and index finger were moving.
"I don't want to hurt the flare... it's not just me.Largo, Mandra-sensei, and Tuck-san, they all have you ─ ─ "
I saw it.
Vajri-san's fingers are moving.
This orbit... it's a letter.
And breathe.
Kanshi, Kami, don't talk.
"Ngh..."
"Please, listen to me."
…………
You know what?... Sister Vajri, I'm trying to tell you something.
"Flair, I don't want to fight you.I'm sure you'll notice. "
…………
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg
Fure-ah, caesarean, hombu, now I can stop it.
"Sister Vajri..."
Have you made up your mind?
"Yeah. I... I knew I'd take them down, Sister Vajri."
"That's right..."
Oh, I knew it... Vajri-san is Vajri-san.
My heart fills with nostalgia.
No. Don't cry... if you cry, it's ruined.
Sister Vajri put everything on the line and told me.
Destroy God, the plan, the world. I was the only one who could stop it. I was the magician who lived with the Demon Lord of Hellfire.
"Then, we're done talking." I'll miss you today, but ─ ─ I won't be sorry next time. "
”Yeah... I'll be ready for that, too”
"I see. Well, goodbye... next time I see you, I'll be serious about you."
"... yes..."
Having said that, Sister Vajri gets up and leaves the room.
Before you leave the room, tell me.
"Your people are talking to King Winder now."Fufu, you're pretty strong... you've been blessed with a good companion. "
"Yeah, I'm proud of you."
"That's right... bye bye"
Vajri left the room with a sad smile on her face.
I let out a big sigh... reaching for a cold cup of tea.
"Ah... this"
The tea that Vajri-san brewed was a herbal tea that she often drank in the village of the magician.
Finally, I regretted not drinking freshly brewed coffee.
