When Mr. Safir nods as he sees me in position, he gestures to the children.The children were guided by Mr. Safir and looked at the timing as it was...

Alright, now!

Mr. Safir gently pushed his back, and the three children ran up the stairs.

"Hey, wait!"

It seems that Safir-san, who is chasing it while acting, collided with Roses-san, who is holding the water girl just in time.You can hear the sounds and voices from the top of the stairs.

... and suddenly the light footsteps left, so I'm relieved.It seems that the children have safely escaped.Alright, now Rianne will go to the water vase... If the Tinker Blower King comes back to life, we won't need to involve them.

Yeah. That was my biggest concern.If you were to infiltrate with the children, you might involve them in the resurrection of the Tickle King, so you just wanted to avoid that.

Um... look, even if Lian thought I was his younger brother.I'm the forest they live in, the one who protects them... and I think I'm Lian's younger brother.

Then, a little while later, Mr. Safir and Mr. Roses, who was still holding the water girl, came along.I squeezed my mind and got a water bottle and a paint tube.

"Ah, you...!"

Looking at me, the water girl stepped out of Mr. Rosé's arms.

"You weren't rude back then!"Why are you here!? "

"Well, I was invited by the fairies..."

I don't know why I'm so embarrassed to be asked... but I've answered honestly for now.This doesn't make the fairies any worse, does it?... I'm sorry if that happens.

"Hey, what! You're here to get in my way again!?"

"No, I don't know what it's like to be in the way..."

It's hard to do this. From my point of view, this girl is in the way, but from her point of view, I think she's in the way.The teacher once said, "The opposite of justice is another justice." That's exactly what I mean.The opposite of the disturbance is the other disturbance... "

"Well, I'd like to talk to you for now.There are two things I would like to ask of you, and I would like to discuss them. "

"S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s

"Your Majesty, it appears that he wants to negotiate something."On top of that, it seems that we want to explore each other's breaches, but what should we do? "

... Mr. Safir suddenly gave me a commentary on the water girl who seemed to find it difficult to use the word "negotiate".It seems that the meaning was conveyed smoothly. Thank you very much.

"Y-yeah... hmmm"

"Your Majesty, why don't you just listen to the story for a moment?"You don't have to jump to conclusions if you're just listening, and by listening, you can prove the depth of the Queen's nostalgia and the breadth of her insights. ”

In addition, Mr. Rose put in such a follow up, and the water girl made a decision for me.

"I-I understand." If you just want to talk, you can listen to it! "

Good. In the meantime, I'm glad we didn't have to negotiate an armed conflict!

"Well, that's why... I don't know if it's okay to let the water out of the bottle."And don't forget about the colors! "

... ah, yeah. I see. Are you going to make that kind of request?

Well, maybe this water... it's part of the girl's body.

The reason is that Lian told me earlier that it was "cold" because she froze it.I thought that the moving water was definitely related to this child, but it might be an entity or a duplicate.At least it seems to have a warm feeling.

In other words, if you put a paint tube in this water... it's very, very bad for her.

No.

So I refuse here properly.

"Why, why!?"

"What? Why... then, somehow...?"

Well then, get rid of the one that has that color!

No.

"Why, you rude! Stop it!"Hurry up and get out of the way! "

... I know it's tricky, but it's a matter of preventing the resurrection of the Tickle King and the restoration of this fairy kingdom, so I can't give up here.

That's why I want this negotiation to work in my favor.To do that, I want to have a hostage, or one of the threats.

... I'm aware of that.At such a time, I'll definitely be licked, and I'm not very good at negotiating in the first place.

That's why, I know it's sloppy... I want to sit at the negotiating table and show that I can mix paint with parts of the other person's body at any time.

The water girl arrived at the table in a state of complete swelling, but frightened and twitching.

By the way, I'm in the courtyard of a fairy castle.There is a tea table in the middle of a place with lots of beautiful flowers, and tea and tea confectionery are left there.There are three more chairs.So maybe the three of us were meeting for tea here earlier.

Saffir pulled one of the chairs, and Rosé sat down with the water girl in her arms.Mr. Safir took a seat next to him, so I moved the remaining chair appropriately and took a seat.

The fairies brought me a fourth tea cup and poured me some tea.And then he turned to me and said, "Fight!'I drank tea while appreciating it because it gestured and encouraged me.I was nervous or thirsty.If you cool it down and wet it with a sweet iced tea scented with flowers and fruits...... All right, let's battle.

It was quick, though.

I start talking, remembering Agent and Faye's dad.

“We have two demands. One is to have the sealed jewels in the underground vault ceded to you.The other is to improve the reign of the fairy kingdom. ”

...... when I said that, the water girl took a breath and grinned at me.

For the time being... it doesn't look like I'm being licked. That's good. That's good.

"The first one is no."All the jewels in the basement are mine!I'll never give it to you! "

Then how about exchanging it for our jewelry?

If that's the case, then I'll give you a jewel.A bigger purple crystal sphere than a sealed gemstone, the size of the one I hold in my palms.There is an image of a fortune-teller using this kind of thing, but, well, that kind of thing.

"What a beautiful gem!"Isn't this a bad story, Your Majesty?The value of this jewel is like buying a castle or two in a human country. ”

Her Majesty can make a statue out of this jewel because she can be seen in the small, adorable body of the mega layer.

"If you want me to process it, I'll do it."What do you say? I think I could scrape your statue, or your throne, from this jewel... "

... even with Saffir and Rosé's push, the water girl seemed to be leaning toward us. I really want this jewel! It's written on my face. It's kind of funny.

But... the girl said, shaking her head wide and sideways.

"Still no good! I've been told that jewel must never be given away!"That's why I'm not going to exchange it! "

... and then I looked at the purple crystal... and continued.

"... I won't exchange them, but... if you want to give them away, I can give them to you!"

"I don't give up." I won't give it to you. "

So I refused. No.

"Do you know what that jewel is?"

"Yes, there are strong monsters inside!"So, if you divide your magic power, you'll come out and work for me!I just wanted a monster to replace Kelpie, so I decided to take it on! "

Cheng Jing... that's what's happening. Troublesome.

"... uh, I think that when that monster comes out, it will destroy this country like an amber pond."

So, let me explain.You're fooled, aren't you?

"Oh, you just have to listen to me then!"Because the monster in that jewel will be mine, right? "

... is it going to happen? Then, well, that's fine, maybe, but... I don't think so.I think she's been tricked.

"That's why I refuse! I'll hatch the monster in that jewel!"So make a strong and good monster that protects me a loyal servant! "

Hmm... no. I have a hunch about parallel lines.

"Well then, with regard to the second point....."

"I won't let you either!" Why do I have to think about the fairy country? "

... I immediately had a feeling of parallel lines for the second point.

"That's... if you were to be the Queen of this country, it would be natural for you to think about this country because you are the Queen."

"The opposite! This country thinks of me!"Because I'm the queen. "

"Oh, parallel lines..."

"... if the country gets rough as a result, I think you're the one who's in trouble."

"Then I'll travel to another country again."

What about the rest of the fairies?

Why should I think about other fairies?

Parallel lines…….

Thinking about what happened to me, Safir-san and Rose-san were also troubled by a face like "I'm in trouble".What do we do? I've talked about this, but I don't think we understand each other.

I'm worried about what's going on. [M]Both Mr. Safir and Mr. Roses are troubled.When we all started to worry, the water girl seemed to start to feel like she was saying something bad to the flowing rocks.

However, I don't have any suggestions from the water girl, and neither Mr. Safir nor Mr. Roses are in a position to say anything...

Hmm... Okay.

"I'll change the way I say it. By giving me the two sealed gems, you mean improving the reign of the fairy kingdom."I want you to do these two things.If you do, I'll give you this purple crystal.If there are other gems you want, you can add them. "

I searched the bag and showed about two pieces of jewelry that had been properly stuck in it.The eyes of the water girl shone.I think she likes gems.

"But if you still don't like it..."

Looking at the girl with her eyes nailed to the gemstone... I have to say something terrible.

"If you absolutely hate it, then the negotiation is broken."I can do it, but I have to take the sealed gems and the fairy kingdom from you.... if I don't hurt you, more people and fairies will get hurt.That's why I'm going to make up my mind. "

It's terrible for everyone, it's terrible for the water girl... and it's terrible for me.

"Worst case scenario, I will... kill you"

When I said that, my voice might have trembled a little.I'm not good at this, really.

... but I didn't turn my eyes away.When I stare, the water girl's eyes wink and then tremble.

Even if you can't communicate with reason well, if fear works for you, I don't know what to do.

"I would like to avoid that, if possible."If you accept the gems, hand over the sealed gems, and rule this fairy country honestly, I'd be better off...... "

I hope that it will work out while telling the truth.

I'm not good at this. Really. While I envy the people who can do it well, I realise that I can't walk through scenes like this with the sharpness of a blade, like Agent or Faye's father.It doesn't suit my sex, maybe.I don't think it's dexterous.

... but I think it's important for me to do it this way.

I don't want to give up reconciliation until the end, no matter what you threaten me with.That's why I'd like to offer you a choice.

It may be sweet, but if you give up on this, I'm sure I can't help it.That's why I stared at the girl in the water, begging her to listen to me.

"Oh, say that... what are you going to do?"You seem to be underestimating me, but I'm the queen of this country?I became a queen because I was particularly powerful among the fairies.Do you know that? "

The water girl uttered a slightly trembling line that could be seen as bluffing.

... I don't know. I can realise what I've drawn, but that's it.Maybe it's normal... if it's a fight or a killing... it's not very strong.Drawing, even if there are magic paintings, takes much longer than hitting and slashing them.

And the water girl seems a little confident.Well, maybe there's something from the Tickle King.Maybe that's why I became a queen.

... so if violence and violence collide normally, I'll be very disadvantaged...

"I think I'll put some paint in this jar."

When I said that, the water girl froze her face and hardened.

... well, it seems cowardly, but this is my way of doing things.

I don't want to, but I'm prepared.As soon as I reply, I put the paint in the bottle and shake it properly.I'm ready for that.

"... I see."

The girl in the water is just like that in Mr. Rosé's arms... and...

“Negotiation is ruin!”

That's why I'm flying a blade of water into my hand.

I rushed to avoid it, and the water blade slashed through the side of my clothes, then thinly slashed through my side and passed by.

The pain spreads to my flank, but now I have to endure it.

"If that's the case, this way..."

If that means a negotiation rupture, then I must finally do it.Without hesitation, open the lid of the bottle.

... is that it?

"Ah, I can't open it..."

"Let me open it... it's going to be something...!"

The lid of the bottle I tried to open does not open.I looked at the bottle... oh my!The ice was melting in the bottle, the water was moving, and the lid of the bottle was being held from the inside!

"If this doesn't open, it's fine!"Fufu... now, get ready! "

"That's what the water girl says, and I'm going to make a water blade again..."

... then I can't help it!

Phoenix! Contact Lian! Nice to meet you!

So I asked for a phoenix.... and the Phoenix asked Lian to do it for her.

Nice to meet you, my brother! I want you to forgive me for being such a shameless brother!You don't seem to think it's for your brother!
