86 11. Positioning the Kings: Part II

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."

"Of the starry sky...?

"Oh, didn't you understand? Its immense power, which flows through its body, is the power of the overflowing Aquasteed. Daimyo, you're taking a good position and you're gaining strength."

As a result, Aquasteed himself had a tough time controlling the force, and the force overflowing through the rings of the starry sky poured into Tiara Rose, Pearl says.

"Totally. The next time I woke up, I thought you weren't here anymore."

When he wakes up a long time ago, Pearl takes one.

"Then, while the wobble was asleep, he took the ring at will. And you're trying to change that ring."

"Yes. I apologize for receiving the ring when Pearl was asleep."

Both Keith and Claire entrusted the ring to Tiara Rose and Aquasteed at their will. But Pearl is the only thing Tiara Rose brought in without permission to enter the hidden passage.

I look at Tiara Rose, who bows her head in haste, and only tells her to hide her mouth with a fan and say "good".

"Tiara Rose, let's work together."

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"I don't mind. I want to do something for Marine Forest."

Pearl, who planned to stay asleep without magic, has not yet recovered the power of blessing either. Now I say we only get a minimum of territory and slowly be merciful of the sea of Marine Forest.

"And the wobble is the fairy king of the third generation of the sea. Unlike Claire and Keith, our relationship with this country is shallow"

"No. We know that Mr. Pearl has protected the sea. Don't tell me you're lonely like that"

"... Hmm. Nothing. Let's do what's best for this country in our own way."

What we need to do now is look between prayers.

But like Claire, Pearl says he doesn't know about its existence either.

"This is a strange space. During the oath to take the Fairy King's position, it leads to the kings' realm. I don't need that king's ring for anything other than a king to get there."

"Were you..."

"Has anything else changed while the straw was asleep?

"Ah..."

To Pearl's inquiry, Tiara Rose leans down.

That means the king is down in sickness. Tell him that Lilliage is a disease he had previously suffered and that his medical condition has not yet recovered.

The people and others have yet to be informed of the King's fall.

Hearing Tiara Rose's words, Pearl nodded so much that it would be.

"Oh, that's why you woke up strawberries..."

"Huh?"

"What, you haven't heard? Nevertheless, Flirting has never actually seen it either... saying that there are blooming flowers at the moment when the king of the starry sky takes power. That's - huh!?"

Pearl explains, the earth made a loud noise.

"What's going on!?"

"Apparently, the battle for the position is over."

"Already!? Yes, we must hurry and go between prayers"

It had already been more than two and a half hours since the beginning by running down the crystal aisle and interacting with Pearl.

Tiara Rose rushes out of the palace and returns to the crystal hallway. Pearl follows it, too, but we just have to run down the corridor where we don't know the way and we just can't replace it.

If we don't hurry, the time limit will come.

Running out of breath, the door enters sight. Now it was time for the door to follow during prayer. Tiara Rose opened with the momentum as it stood.

"Ha ha... this is where, during prayer... Dear Acari!?"

"Dear Tiara! And even Pearl!!"

Apparently he circled all the way around and came back to the room where the first pedestal he transferred was located. Tiara Rose snorted, and if she doesn't make it in time, she will be struck.

Acari was the opposite, tense to Pearl, the fairy king of the sea, who suddenly appeared.

When I saw how Tiara Rose was doing, Akali said, "What's wrong?" and lean his neck.

"... I had to find myself between prayers, but I came back here"

"During prayer...... are you talking about a space made with the power of holy prayer?

"Huh? Oh yeah, that was...!?"

- How could I have forgotten?

Between prayers was the magic of the spatial system used by heroines. This is the magic that Tiara Rose used and everything in the game, even though it was orthodox magic in the game of "Lapis Lazuli's Ring".

I can't believe I forgot, it's a big mess.

But only the heroine in the game can use that.

I mean - it's going to be two people, Akali and Isira.

- So this event was originally a villain's warrant and I couldn't complete it without magic?

I didn't think I'd come here and feel sorry for my helplessness.

When I regret it and hold my fist, the pearl voice of "Quickly Blame" echoes indoors.

"Can a man named Acari make a time for prayer? Then make it quick and pray there."

"Oh, but..."

The question arises as to whether it does not have to be made on its own - but soon the acari used magic so I ran out of time to think about it.

The space between prayers created by Akali must be very clear of air. I breathe very lightly and my body makes me feel like a feather.

The space between the prayers made is located just in the part of the pedestal.

Tiara Rose can get her hands on the pedestal and pray, just as she did when she swore.

What you should do is unite the ring of the Fairy King of the Forest, the ring of the Fairy King of the Sky, and the ring of the Fairy King of the Sea.

Slowly, the magic of Tiara Rose envelops the three rings. The force is very hot and will probably burn heavily if anything other than the person, Tiara Rose, touches it.

Remove the ring from your fingers as you pray and wrap it around your palm. Put that hand on your forehead and pray for peace between the ring and Marine Forest.

Praying with magic wrapped around the ring, would five minutes have passed?

A pale light was emitted from Tiara Rose's body, and there was one ring in his hand. We were able to bring the three rings together safely.

The remaining time limit was only one minute.

From the hands of Tiara Rose, a platinum ring carved with Tiara Rose flowers appeared. The fairy kings' rings are united, a ring that allows you to control the power of the starry kings.

Tiara Rose has drained most of her power, but there's no way the Aquasteeds can control the power of the giant starry sky.

"Beautiful, ring"

"Dear Acari...... thank you"

"Well, you can't do that without me!

"Thank you, Master Pearl"

As the three of us rejoiced that the ring was ready, the atmosphere swayed and the Aquasteeds moved into this crystal room again.

The Fairy King's position is over.

"Dear Aqua, Your Highness Ferres and Keith, and Master Claire!

"I'm glad Tiara's okay, too"

Aquasteed, who saw this one, smiles happily, but his expression is somewhere more bitter than usual. I guess I'm not used to the magic of the King of the Starry Skies increasing in power just for my increased position.

"So tell me what Tiara was up to -"

"Aquasteed, you'd have something to do before that, wouldn't you?

"Your Highness Ferres... you did"

Ferres laughs bitterly at Aquasteed trying to give Tiara Rose priority over anything else.

Ferres looked around the room and told him he was "glad" to see Pearl.

"You're the fairy king of the sea, aren't you? I'm Ferres. So glad to see you."

"The wolf is Pearl, the fairy king of the third generation of the sea. I am honored to meet the First King."

When the two, who were first meeting, exchanged greetings, the demonic squares painted on the floor glowed pale. This is the light of blessing the Aquasteeds have gained from taking up their positions.

The light gathered on the pedestal and changed its appearance to a single crown.

The crown, made of crystals, is designed with grass wood embellishments symbolizing the pedestal and coral accents. The more transparent it is at the top, the more empty it is.

"This is the crown of the king of the starry sky. Come on, Tiara Rose."

"... Yes"

Tiara Rose, who has sworn in the start of the Fairy King's positioning, has the role to give this crown to the winner.

I haven't heard where winning or losing is, but I believe in who wins from the beginning. There's no way a man who loves this country and vows to be king won't win.

When Tiara Rose takes the crown into its hands, Keith or Crail moves to clear the way.

Aquasteed was at the center of it.
