60 15. Love it (1/2)
”This is... Lady Aqua's, the ring?
Tiara Rose's left hand pharmacopoeia. A new Aquasteed ring worn so that it overlaps the wedding ring that was originally put on. With sparkling star jewels, it's like the night sky.
”... Me”
”Tiara?”
”.................. Aqua”
When I realized it, I overflowed with puffiness and tears.
Many times I call the names ”Aqua” and Aquasteed to make sure that's the name of my loved one. How could I forget, so much so that Aquasteed's memory comes back to life.
When I saw Tiara Rose like that, Aquasteed was hacked. Hold him right over and call his name as if to call him ”Tiara”.
”Dear Aqua...... Huh! I remember...”
”Oh.”
I also hug him from myself and bury his face in Aquasteed's chest. Oh, I was wondering what I would do if I could never remember Aquasteed again.
”I'm sorry, I've hurt you so many times about Aqua...”
Crying to sneeze, Tiara Rose utters words of apology.
I remember properly when I didn't remember. Is it because he was telling me that he was anxious, that Aquasteed's ring did not take away Tiara Rose's new memory?
As he strokes his head, Aquasteed tells him ”it's okay” over and over again.
”I won't let Tiara go, even if I don't get my memory back”
”Dear Aqua...”
”If they didn't like me - I could have locked them up”
Aquasteed smiles, though he was never disliked.
”Even if I had lost my memory, there is no way I would dislike Master Aqua!
”Tiara......”
”Absolutely. I can assure you.”
”Curiously, I can assure you, too”
They both laugh that no matter how much they raise, they can't hate each other.
”Is this a happy ending?
Make sure to lean your neck and ask Olivia, where Akali stands next to you.
In front of you are Tiara Rose and Aquasteed, who are hugging each other. I'd be happy if those two were happy, but I don't have all the fairy kings and I haven't defeated any monsters.
What makes it different from the game, though that's fun.
”Probably... I think so”
”But Master Olivia is locked up with Deacon working disrespectfully on Tiara and Aqua. That can't be happy, can it?
”Dear Acari, have you forgotten? I, Olivia Ariadel, am a villain's maid.”
Olivia says it's really like a villain's warrant for her butler being put in a cell.
But what I don't find interesting is the acari. I don't like that Olivia, who's gotten along because of it, seems lonely, and I was concerned about the existence of a butler who's not a game character in the first place.
When I tell Olivia that, she laughs like ”oh” nothing.
”Levy, when I was little, I picked it up. I gave it a name and educated it as a butler. Just...”
”Just?”
Akali is impressed that picking people up was a bolder person than he thought. Urging the words that follow, Olivia gives a look as troubled as she is.
”Me, I talk to myself a lot. I used to talk about the game... and Levi remembered it all.”
”Oh...”
”So I know everything about the game.”
He says he has taken Olivia's solitaire seriously and believes it all. Of course the contents of the game are true, but this is not strictly the game world.
There is a difference - Olivia was also discussing it, so Levy was convinced to come up with it herself, I guess.
Levi, the most powerful partner not a gaming character, has become such a presence.
”Deacon of the Dark Device, certainly the strongest.”
”I'm a proud butler.”
The story of Acari and Olivia has just come to a paragraph, and the thick, heavy air surrounds them. Everyone looks around to see what's going on, and Aquasteed and Elliot put their hands on the sword on their hips.
”Maybe the seal...!?”
Tension runs in Tiara Rose's raised voice.
But I thought Ferres told you there was no problem. When Tiara Rose saw the throne, Ferres was there unchanged.
”Your Highness Ferres...... eh”
'... it's okay, not yet'
When Ferres uses his power, the air is swept away. Relaxed, but in my heart, I fear a piece of power this monster has put out.
I wonder if you don't have to take him down. But the first king said it was no problem. I'm not here for anything that can overshadow that.
Precisely, if it's Crail, it's possible. But I'm not gonna say anything, Claire, and he's not gonna do it hairy.
Ferres sits deeply on the throne, her golden eyes staring at Aquasteed.
'That's the king's ring. Aquasteed, don't abandon that pride.'
”Absolutely.”
”Tiara Rose. Best wishes for my lovely offspring.”
”... Yes!
Hearing Tiara Rose and Aquasteed reply, Ferres smiled satisfactorily. And I turn my gaze to Claire, and I wave, 'Nice to meet you.'
”Now I'll bring Keith to see you.”
”Yeah. I'm looking forward to it.”
When Ferres rang his fingers with his pussy, the throne disappeared and the altar appeared again. At the same time, you won't be able to see Ferres.
Loneliness in a cancerous space, Tiara Rose holds her own hand.
”Dear Aqua,”
”... I never thought the First King would be underground”
Aquasteed laughs bitterly that I have to thank Akali for saying I'm going to be here.
Grateful to the altar, Aquasteed takes Tiara Rose's hand. All I had to do was go back and turn around - I opened my eyes wide.
The ceiling part of the entrance was about to start to collapse again.
- Why, when?
Beneath it stands just Acari and Olivia.
”Dear Acari, Dear Olivia!!”
Tiara Rose, who turned around, also noticed and immediately calls the two names - but not in time for the Tiara Roses in the center of the room.
Elliot, who was checking the room, is also standing away.
I make an unpleasant noise, and the moment the ceiling tries to collapse - I bounce off that debris so that a black shadow pops up to shelter the two of us.
”- Levi!”
”Yes, Olivia”
Wear your usual butler clothes and land beautifully from the air.
Smiling gently at Olivia calling her name, she said, ”Are you hurt? asked.”
How the hell did the butler who was supposed to have put him in the dungeon of the castle get here? Everyone wanted to put their heads on it, but they were fortunate to have saved Acari and Olivia.
◇ ◇ ◇
Returning from the basement of the royal castle to his chamber, Tiara Rose was in a mood for thought. My gaze swims through the universe and I can't conclude in myself what to do - that feeling.
I look at the ring layered on my pharmacopoeia, and I glance at it with my finger.
”Lord Aqua created it just for me, the ring”
Now you have to be careful not to take it off, or I'll hold your hand. I can't laugh if this comes off accidentally and I have amnesia again.
With that in mind, the sound of a knock echoes into the room.
When I urged you to go ahead, it was Filine who told the visitors. Tell him immediately that Acari and Olivia are coming and ask Tiara Rose what she will do.
