Why did this happen?
Lying on a soft bed, what accompanied me was a music player, a smartphone for surfing the internet, and a television that kept on lighting up and showing cheap drama shows.
If only I could snack on a snack or something like that then I might be able to enjoy it a little.
However, let alone enjoy it, somehow my tongue is not able to feel the taste of the food that enters my mouth. Does this feel like pain? If so, I don't like it.
Moreover, the only dish I could taste was just a porridge that tasted... Aleugh!
"Do you not have any other dishes you can give me?" ask my waiter who just went into the room with a bowl full of porridge I mean.
"This is a special concoction of the Great Mistress, this food is efficacious to accelerate the recovery of Young Miss and have other positive effects on the health of Young Miss"
"You... Who are you really, really, waitress?"
"Hamba is the Faithful Servant of Miss Lavender La Ciel"
"Then why are you torturing me like this?"
"Hamba is not torturing Young Miss. Servant only acts with Young Miss's interests above all else. And this time the health of Young Miss is far more important than the wishes of Young Miss"
...Is there something wrong in the ritual process?
I'm serious, even my top Servant Lif has never behaved like this!
Oh, aye. If you're wondering who this brash waitress really is, remember her sister the Canary? That's what she sells to meet her husband and children.
True, after a long ritual process, his sister Canary, Princess Samira. Now I have finally become fully my faithful servant and am now taking care of me who is in a weakened condition because I have used my strength excessively.
"Young Miss, please open her mouth... Aaaa"
And now I'm regretting my choice to make her my servant.
Huh... Where did Anna actually go? Isn't she the one who should be my personal servant here?! Shit, I'd love to call Lif here.
All right, back to the main topic.
I don't know how exactly I've been unconscious, which is clear a long time has passed since the battle at Narsist Kingdom.
The result, was a defeat for the Alliance side as well as the destruction of the Narsist Kingdom.
The reason why I call it defeat for the Alliance side, it is because the main enemy in the story this time has managed to get what he wants.
What I have struggled with, against, and what Grandma had painstakingly sealed was nothing more than a giant bait that aimed to occupy us all while the mastermind was in a safe and secure place.
Based on the story of Mama and the explanation from Papa, the main reason why the Devil (Demon) infects many people to turn them into ferocious Monsters and the reason for starting a big war that
taking many lives was for the sake of being able to gather a lot of 'Baku materials' to be able to perfect a body that he now used as his container.
According to Papa's explanation, once a Devil (Demon) gets a perfect physical container, he will be able to explore various worlds and dimensions as they please. Not only that, by having a physical container, the, it makes it easier for them to spread their name even more widely and clarify the image they instill into the minds of many people which will fill their egos to be feared and admired by many people.
Because this is also why Papa to eliminate the city.
After successfully sending the city to another dimension, Papa finally obtained a physical body that made him able to move between dimensions as he pleased.
Really, I never imagined that the real reason why this battle took place was because of a devious plan from a Devil (Demon).
"Open her mouth again, Aaaaaa"
And as I said before, thanks to this war, the Narsist Kingdom is now the same as gone.
The capital and the Palace of their pride have been destroyed and ravaged by the rampage of the Devil (Demon) to make it impossible to live in. There are so many soldiers to their citizens who lost their lives and not a few of them who have lost hope in their homeland and choose to evacuate to the next Kingdom.
The four Great Generals who had been their main protectors had now also been reduced to leaving only one of them.
And the worst thing is that their Queen and their Third Prince have lost their lives in this war. Well, although technically their Queen is still alive despite being tormented in my Dungeon, they don't need to know that.
Fortunately their First Prince and his Wife and children are safe because it turns out when the Capital is attacked they are all on vacation on the beach in the city that I manage. While the Second Prince and their three Princesses were also in a safe state because from the beginning they had taken refuge in the Drakon Kingdom.
Losing his Wife, Son, Palace, Capital, General, as well as his soldiers and citizens, the King of the Narsist Kingdom should now be in a state of decline due to the chaotic conditions of his Kingdom.
Right, Should!
If what I read from the forum is true, then, so somehow King Narsist Kingdom now with a passionate spirit began to devise a plan to rebuild the Palace and its capital in a much more strategic place with a much more magnificent and elegant appearance.
Thanks to the strength he had, none of the rest of his subordinates were able or even dared to defy his decision.
And with the reason to help the Father, the First Prince and the Second Prince were now beside King Narsist Kingdom to help him rebuild their beloved Kingdom.
Really, there were a lot of things that happened when I was unconscious.
I wish I could go back there to see it with my own eyes. It's just, my only access to get there, aka my VR tool is now being confiscated by Mama.
The reason is what else if not "You're still sick, so don't play the game first!".
Fuck that! After all, he said Mama hated magic, but why return to the world there and gelud the same Devil (Demon) and had created a sword that was said to be equivalent to an artifact of a Kingdom?!
At least teach me how to make such an artifact!
"Come, Young Miss, open her mouth again... Aaaa"
Anyway after I was able to return to the world there, the first thing I did after taking care of my territory was to try to make my own most powerful artifact mandraguna!
I saw on the forum that Mary was there too when Mama created the artifact. If Mama doesn't want to teach, then I just have to ask Mary to show me.
Speaking of artifacts, how far has the «Awakening» process been on Crown of the Monarch, huh? The last I checked was still at 2%. But, after this battle the value must have skyrocketed a long time considering I used it so crazily that it made me end up being like this.
I also wonder how much my appearance has changed because of it.
Last time I got a tattoo all over my body, I didn't know it was now.
Looking at myself, I don't see anything changing. I guess I can only find out when I'm back there.
I guess there's not much I can do right now.
Taking the television remote lying on the edge of the mattress, I pressed it.
The first show in the play is a story about a rich man who cheated on his wife with a woman he met at work. Move, next is the boxing event. Move, children's cartoon show. Move, soap opera stepmom. Moving away...
After many times searching for interesting shows, I finally ended up watching the news show during the day.
"Young Miss, her mouth... Aaaa"
Today's news features alert info on wild animals that have entered populated areas. Not only in rural areas, even these animals also get to the middle of the big city.
No one knows where these animals came from.
Some suspect they came from a zoo that ran away, but none of the zoos claimed their animals had escaped. Some say they come from a pet shop or someone's pet who ran away, it's just that wild animals that are caught on camera are included in large dogs such as wolves and even other wild animals such as lions and bears.
Wait, does this country have an endemic bear species?
"Our viewers, this time we'll be showing amateur footage of a bear caught on camera wandering through a narrow alley in the XXX area"
In accordance with the words of the host, the screen changed to show an amateur recording that seemed to be taken from the second floor of a house.
"Oh, the bear is big too"
Can be seen a bear of two to three meters with shiny black hair is running around and trying to chase residents who scream fear will be pounced on by a person
ferocious bear.
Eventually, the bear stopped after the fire department came along with the police to catch the bear.
It was seen that they had set up a large net and several police officers were seen coming while carrying some kind of stun gun in their hands.
Realizing that he was surrounded, the bear frantically entered one of the houses by breaking down the door with his large body and the footage ended there.
"According to the latest news, the bear managed to escape and until now its existence is still in search of by the authorities. About where the bear came from, the police who worked with the animal protection agency are also still investigating it..."
Finished watching the news, many questions popped up inside my head.
The first was the terrified expression that the bear showed. Although it is natural that animals will panic and become stressed when they are suddenly in an area that is unfamiliar to them, it is just an expression
the bear still seemed unnatural to me.
Moreover, the bear's reaction when he realized he was surrounded.
In such a narrow space, the choice that a wild animal would take would usually be to advance through or if they had the ability to climb, then no doubt they would directly ascend to the top
the roof of the house and run away from there.
And as long as no fool leaves the door wide open, there is little chance for the wild animal to escape into the house. Even if they managed to get in though, as long as the back door was also not wide open, then they would only end up making themselves cornered which would greatly facilitate the arrest process.
However, not only did the bear manage to enter the house by force, but the fact that he managed to escape proved that he knew that the house had a back door which could
become his escape route.
The more I think about it, the stranger it feels like the behavior of that bear.
"Young Miss... Aaaaaa"
The next news is news about supernatural phenomena that began to be found and recorded by cameras.
"Lately, there are often videos in the community that show young people who are able to create fire from their palms or move the earth they are burning. It's just a digital effect
merely, or did supernatural phenomena such as magic or espers really exist?"
The screen then showed a video of a group of young men, one of whom was a child with red hair who was in a remote and dark area throwing a fireball from his palm. The fireball he fired hit the pre-prepared glass bottles and managed to smash them to pieces.
There was a sound of admiration and laughter that broke out when the red-haired child managed to fire a fireball from his palm. No doubt the child began to be praised by his other friends until someone asked to be taught.
Then the news began to play a video of a young girl treating a wounded person with her palm emitting a bright light.
The people watching the girl immediately praised her to the point that some called her a holy maiden or even a child of god.
"You must be kidding me, right?!"
Although the host said that this incident is being researched by experts about its authenticity, but I know very well that what they just turned it was something very real and not
a video edit.
And if I were to connect it to the bear earlier, then it's obvious what's really going on.
Without delaying any longer I immediately threw away the blanket that covered my body and tried to get up from my bed.
"Wait a minute, where is Young Miss going?"
Putting back the bowl of porridge that he had been holding, the Princess tried to stop myself from trying to get out of bed.
"I want to go see Papa, I have something to talk about!"
"Young Miss don't be rash! Young Miss should still rest, if there is anything Young Miss would like to say to the Great Lord let me just deliver it"
"No need! Let me talk to him myself"
Trying to get out of bed, just a step I took I fell hard on the floor.
"Young Miss!"
Without heeding the worried cries of the Princess, I then created a walking stick out of wood to help my legs which felt weak. Using the stick, I walked out of the room while being helped by the Princess who kept me from falling again.
Although I had to work hard, in the end I managed to meet Papa who was currently busy relaxing with Mama at the dinner table.
Seeing me walk with difficulty, of course, made Mama worried.
"Jeez Malika! Why are you here!? You're gonna have to rest a lot!"
Putting aside Mama who came up to me, I immediately shouted "See the news!" to Papa who fortunately immediately understood and immediately turned on the television in the dining room.
Fortunately not much time had passed so the news was still on the topic of the youths who were able to use magic in the real world. Even the news now shows an interview with one of the young men who he said was able to control the wind at will.
"So you said you got this power from the game?"
Asked the reporter who was interviewing the young man who was now displaying an arrogant smile that looked annoying.
Faithful to his smile, the young man arrogantly showed off his skills.
"of course! After playing a game called Freedom 2 for half a year I am now able to do this!"
Spreading out both of his hands, a vortex of wind was created with the young man as the center. "Yeah!" shouted the reporter who was surprised by the absurd incident that happened right before his eyes.
Not only the reporter, even the surrounding residents who were just passing by were shocked by the action that the young man did.
Seeing this news, just suddenly made Mama immediately glare at Papa with her sharp eyes.
"Darling, did you find out about this?"
"Of course, don't you know for yourself that watching magical activities in this world is one of my jobs?"
"Then why did you let the boy show off in public! Will this not cause panic in the community!"
"I really want to, just you think how many people are playing that game?"
That's absolutely right.
If the case is the same as Canary, then it is easy for Papa to take care of it and prevent it from being known to the public. However, if all Freedom 2 game players awaken their magic power simultaneously, then it is impossible for a Papa to dampen their enthusiasm especially in today's where showing off to social media for the slightest thing is common.
Realizing that the world will realize that magic is real, a desperate expression is clearly drawn on Mama's face.
"Then what are you going to do? Let them just like that?"
"Of course not! I've ordered my subordinates to prevent the central government from taking any rash action. This way I can at least prevent events like the Witch hunt from happening"
"Although the central government is successfully dealt with, but what will you do to the general public! You know how stupid they are and how scared they are of the unknown!"
"That's inevitable. That's why I also plan to trap the central government to create a special agency that will take care of this matter. Of course I am the one who will be
the leader of the institution. For the general public, just pray that no one acts anarchist and pray also to those children so that none of them allow themselves to be caught just like that"
"But the anarchist act is unlikely to happen!"
In the midst of my two argumentative parents, I who had sat at the dinner table because I could no longer stand could only watch them in silence.
Seeing that there was an apple on the table, I picked it up and immediately bit it.
Yup, there's no taste.
"Young Miss, let's finish the porridge... Aaaa"
...? Damn waitress, where did you take that damn porridge!
