86 11. Positioning the Kings: Part II (1/2)

From the power of the starry sky, which is too powerful, we may be able to save Aquasteed and Ferres. Tiara Rose, who knew that, rushed to the best of her ability for that purpose...

”Here, Tiara Rose! Wait!!”

”Don't come after me, Master Claire!

Tiara Rose and Crail run all the way down the crystal corridor.

But right now, you can't stop here. There's only three hours left to put the ring together. I have some hands on explaining the situation to Claire, but now I've wasted that time.

The way Tiara Rose unites the Fairy King's ring needs to be wrapped and recreated with her own magic once and for all. That's fine in itself, but the problem is the place.

Is it because it's still a maiden game event? They have a sacred place called Between Prayers, and it has to be there.

I don't know how far they are. Yeah, maybe it's not the main road.

That's why Tiara Rose is in a hurry. Incidentally, the places made of this crystal are no longer able to travel with each other by transfer.

For this reason, it is impossible to shortcut the distance even if you ask Crail to do so.

”The ring of the Fairy King in the Sky is what I gave Aquasteed. I can't believe I used that on my own and forced myself to take up positions...”

Now there's no point in giving your ring to Aquasteed, is there, Claire?

”After all, Master Crail knows everything...”

Claire finally caught up with Tiara Rose running out of breath haha. I held back the speed of walking, but I don't stop.

Claire sighs when she sees Tiara Rose looking like that.

”I don't know everything. Especially the Tiararose and Olivia Ariadel think they are strange beings. How do you have the information that only we know?

”Oh, that's... eh”

”Even now, I don't even know where Tiara Rose is headed.”

Some regrettable claire voice reaches Tiara Rose.

- Where even the Fairy King doesn't know it exists?

Thinking about it, Tiara Rose thinks it's probably the most important positioning ever. And it would be the place where Isira, the sequel heroine, should go, not herself the villain warrant.

”... Master Aqua said he would be king. If Aqua is going to lead Marine Forest, I want to support it next door.”

”You say the place you're on your way now needs it for that?

”Yes, I will show you the support of Master Aqua, His Highness Ferres, and Master Lilia. That is the will of the Villain Warrant Lady!

…………

Hearing Tiara Rose's strong will, Claire replies ”Yes”.

”Really, Tiara Rose is a strong girl.”

”Because Master Aqua will be here.... I have been told by my former fiancée, who was the Crown Prince in my country, that I am in exile from the country. That's when Aqua supported me.”

- So now I support Master Aqua.

Whatever fits, I've been thinking about being on Aquasteed's side ever since.

”Damn, you're no match for both of us.”

”... Huh?

”I wish I could have walked with Pearl, too”

The lonely side of Claire walking side by side catches my eye.

Pearl blessed Tiara Rose and Aquasteed and fell asleep for a long time. Still, it should be noted that Claire is often in Pearl's Palace, not his own temple.

- But Master Pearl should like it about Master Crail.

Tiara Rose thinks we'll be happier than ourselves if we wake up, although it's very long before Pearl wakes up.

And then the question arises whether Claire can stay with herself like this.

”Dear Claire, don't you have to be in the fairy king's position to take part?

Perhaps Aquasteed and Keith are working on the position.

Hear that word, and Claire stops. With that, Tiara Rose accidentally stopped on her feet, too. When I saw Claire behind me a few steps, she had a blown out grin somewhere.

”Right, let's decide to join the war, too. … Tiara Rose, if, if, you can no longer stand the immense power, you should pour it in”

”Where do you mean pour it in?

”That's it for the tip. I can't tell you the answer.”

……

Tiara Rose honestly listens to Claire's advice, which I don't think is important. So far, though I don't have the enormous power I can't stand......

Maybe I get anxious that something will happen to my body.

”See you later, then”

”Yes.”

Dropping off Claire moving to the ground, Tiara Rose began to take the road back again.

Although it was a crystal hallway that I didn't know how far it would go, the blue door shows in my sight. Tiara Rose relieves herself when she finally seems to be able to move on.

Don't tell me it was physically demanding to keep walking on the same path the whole time.

”Well, if this was between prayers, it would be perfect... Huh?

At the end of the door, it was a quiet sea palace.

The floor was soaked with about a few centimetres of sea water, at the centre of which was a sleeping pearl. The sleeping area on the water makes me feel strange somewhere, but it wasn't if I cared about that now.

”How did you end up in Lady Pearl's Palace...?

Go to the center of the large room and take a peek into the bedroom.

There, Pearl, the fairy king of the sea, who looked the same as before, was in his sleep.

Beautiful silver straight hair cut under shoulders. I don't have the hair accessories I always decorated, but that's all the glossy hair looks good. The relaxed evening outfit is tailored in brightly colored kimonos.

”Looks like he's slowly asleep”

Tiara Rose hasn't seen Pearl since she got her blessing. Though I've used up all my magic, there's nothing like dying. I knew that, but I was very relieved to see him safe this way.

”But how did you get out here? I want to go to prayer - eh!?”

Could it be connected from here? The moment Tiara Rose tried to look around the room with that in mind, enormous power poured more and more into Tiara Rose.

He can no longer stand on a sudden shock and Tiara Rose kneels on the spot. The sea water wets my knees, but I can't afford to stand for that.

”Ha, ha... eh”

- It's painful.

Is this the enormous power that Claire was talking about earlier? I don't know why, but it's painful, and unconsciously, a large grain of tears falls from Tiara Rose's eyes.

What do I do, what do I do?

――――……

- If you can't stand the enormous power anymore, you should pour it in.

”Let this power pour in... Huh?

To what?

No, it's settled.

To Pearl, who has no magic and keeps sleeping.

”So Master Claire said a hint.”

I guess I gave Pearl as punishment and I couldn't help him save it. However, he taught me about the suffering Tiara Rose in terms of anticipation and advice.

Tiara Rose receives blessings from Pearl, the Fairy King of the Sea, making it easy to transfer that magic. If it weren't for Tiara Rose, Claire wouldn't have told you to pour in magic either.

Going under the pearl as he crawled, Tiara Rose poured the magic into the pearl that was so overflowing.

”Ha ha... Dear Pearl,”

I pour the magic inside me into the pearl as much as this.

”... cum”

”Dear Pearl!

Groaning and a small coughing voice.

And soon, that bell-ringing voice uttered ”Tiara Rose”.

”What are you doing... is this the Wonder Palace?”

”Ha, ha...”

”It's worn out a lot.”

- Somehow, the force that seemed to overflow calmed down.

And to relieve you, there's a pearl right in front of Tiara Rose who was out of magic and in deep sleep. He briefly explained what had happened so far that he probably hadn't swallowed up the circumstances.

”While I'm asleep, it seems kind of tricky.... Not at all, man is no good at all.”

Pearl stands up when he takes the fan that was placed by his bedside and opens it badly. Then, making a loud noise, Pearl changed her outfit from a night outfit to a vibrant kimono dress.

The multilayered fabric is made of deep red to enhance the silver of the pearl. Hair accessories embellished with strings and flowers tied their beautiful hair.

”I don't think I'm going to let the magic of the starry sky dwell on me.”
