45-045-Twin Fairies

128 years of St. King's history, green moon, 42nd of the month, evening.

＜The Temple on Top of the Mountain in the Northern Kingdom of Frost.

"Oh, I see.

....

Fairy Harl muttered, while Fairy Fleur was looking up at the sky in silence.

And I was on my knees - in front of both of them - on my knees.

''........''

It's a long story, or rather, it's a long story, but I had an unavoidable situation.

When I was attacked by an avalanche while climbing up the snowy mountains, I immediately ordered Efreet to "blow the avalanche away with all my might!

Blow the avalanche away with all your might!

.........

It was awesome enough when he had fired a test shot at the sky before, but this time the scale was different.

Efreet's flames blew away the huge avalanche with a single blow, and then went straight through the heavens, creating a gaping blue sky at the top of the mountain.

But the story doesn't end here.

The flames from Efreet's fire also blew out another object together with it.

-- this temple.

Fortunately, Harl and Fleur weren't injured, but the entire ceiling was blown off by the flames of Efreet and the magnificent temple was nowhere to be seen.

Even though it was indoors, it was very cold with the bewildering snow and wind blowing in.

Harl's icy gaze also adds to the coldness.

I'm sure it was just a spur of the moment thing. I'm sure that if you are caught in an avalanche, aside from the water spirit, the other three can't do anything about it. Still, there were other ways to use defensive magic or something.　How do you want to make up for it?

I couldn't help but be drawn back by the momentum of Harlle, who was coming at me with a tone like a thug.

However, Fleur, who flew fluffily in front of her sister, shook her head with a blank expression.

''Sis. The temple has been broken, but........we are safe....... I'm glad no one else was hurt......... Is that not good enough........?''

Fairy Fleur is still expressionless, but her tone of voice conveys the kindness of her concern for everyone.

'Fleur.　It's really divine!!!!　

How could this fairy(human) also hide this element when the brave group came?

I was stunned as I looked at them, while Harl cleared his throat deliberately with a Kohon and then flew in front of me with a pat on the back.

I'm sure there are many more things I want to say, but why did you guys come to this temple in the first place?　I don't know why you're coming to see us when there's not a single swordsman position that can equip the Ice Sword.''

"And the temple has been destroyed...

No, I'm really sorry about that. But we're not here to hurt you two. We just wanted to have a word with you.

I said, and as I always do, I explained the "history" of what has happened.

◇ ◇ ◇.

Hmmm...

Harle, who had been so spirited earlier, was snarling with a difficult face after she finished listening to my explanation.

That's because "I've returned from two years in the future. Tomorrow night, the Demon King Four Heavenly Kings Megidor will attack the capital" is a story that is too outlandish, and Harl's reaction can't be helped.

On the other hand, Fleur, who was silent and expressionless as ever, flew fluffily to the front after a while and stared into my eyes.

''If what you're saying is true........the capital will be attacked at midnight today....... That's how I can judge the truth........ But....................then it's too late.''

As long as we take out this Megidor before it gets out of control, everything will be fine. That's what Fleur is all about!　Genius!　I'm so happy for you, lady!''

No, you just gave yourself all the answers...

But Harl is right, it's definitely the quickest way to get people to believe in what I'm saying.

And there's nothing better than being able to deal with the damage before it occurs.

I'm sure you'll be able to take us to the capital as soon as possible.

Huh?

Fleur could use the skills to fly us all into town, right?

"What?

At my words, Fleur jumped away with a weird scream.

Although Fleur is expressionless, I can sense that she is somehow surprised.

''Space transfer is my secret art......... Out of the gate........ No one knows about it except my sister........''

''As soon as I know this, what you're saying is true. Haha......

Looking at Harle, who slumped her shoulders languidly, Fleur was gently stroking her sister's head, though her expression was expressionless.

＜The Kingdom of Frost, in front of the city gates.

That was amazing I was back in town in a second.

"Ahem!

While Satsuki was surprised with her eyes black and white, for some reason, Haruru was proudly puffing out her chest.

Seeing her sister like that, Fleur opened her mouth, looking a little happy, though expressionless.

''My spatial transfer........I can fly if I've been there before....... Outside of this island........I've never been outside of this island though.''

Well, it would be interesting to be able to fly around the world. Then it would be fun to travel around the world and see all kinds of places. Do you want to show me how to do it?

It's out of the gate!

Booochee.

While having such a casual conversation, we went back to the inn, hiding so that the others wouldn't see Haruru and Fleur, and immediately held a strategy meeting for tomorrow.

The attack on Megidor is tomorrow at midnight on the 43rd. Since the north side of the city was badly damaged, I think they will attack from that direction.

So we should be ready to intercept them on the north side tomorrow.

Everyone nodded at Satsuki's words, but Harl looked a little uneasy.

''The other party is a flame wielder who calls himself the Demon King Four Heavenly Kings, right?　Are you guys going to win this thing?

'Ummm...'

In the world I once saw, the brave Kanemitsu defeated Megidor with the Ice Sword that Haruru had risked his life to create, but this time we must defeat it without relying on such a special weapon.

''Leave it to me!
