Princess In Another World: New Story
59
It's a sunny morning in the library.
“Ari, this book wants to be put where?”
“Ahh, let me just put.”
“Alright, oh yes. I'll make tea what do you want?”
“Ya, please.”
“Alright, prince how about you?”
“If not troublesome.”
“Good.” Iona's gone.
“Your relationship went well, when yesterday you were in trouble.”
“That's right, whereas yesterday the princess looked very upset, lo. Vice-commander , what exactly did you tell the princess to make her like that?”
“Nothing, just expressing my selfishness.”
“Heeee, I understand.” (Lucy)
“What do you understand.”
“Lucy, what do you understand?” (Male)
“Yes, I might as well say that in other circumstances. But because my wish beat that.”
“Ehh, why did you just say that. Let's say, I'm curious.”
“Ari, can I say?”
“If that is true, please just.”
“Then, what Ari said was..” He said it, everything I said to Iona yesterday.
“S-fucking you!!”
“Hahaha, it turns out to be true.”
“Wah, I did not expect the deputy commander of such a person.”
“Hey, stop looking at me like that. How else, I don't want others to see it like that.”
“You monopolize the princess for yourself, what a selfish.”
“She's my wife, so no problem.”
“Yes yes, I understand. If my circumstances were not like yesterday maybe I would also do the same.”
“Eh, you too?”
“Of course, where might I be willing to let others see your body even if it's just a little. Till death I won't allow it.”
“Heeee, your final sentence is out. Look, she's up to such embarrassment.”
“A-I want to help daughter.” Ria's gone.
“Haaa, she's ashamed of what I said. She went. Looks like he's still not ready with that perverted phrase you said.”
“Who said my expression was perverted. I said it with love.”
“Yes yes, I understand.”
Long enough after that.
“Haaa, morning tea is the best.”
“Oh yes Ari, yesterday where did you go?” (Lucy)
“Huh?”
“Truely, yesterday when you went from that cafe where were you?” (Lion)
“Ahhh, I met someone last night.”
“Someone?”
“Lucy, Iona, you know’ about the story of the legendary creature.”
“Legendous creatures?” (Male)
“Ria, haven't you read it yet? I told you, lo.” (Lucy)
“I read it, it's just that I'm a little confused by the story.”
“Yes, if you don't understand it doesn't matter. I'm talking about someone menenai that creature.”
“Then, what information do you get?”
“The name of the legendary creature is Leiava, the creature first appeared 5000 years ago.” I told them everything I heard from Homura.
When you finish explaining.
“B-isn't that very impossible to beat.” (Lion)
“Ya, but it is not impossible.”
“Because of the first hero attack there was a deep scar on Leiava's body, even so the place of the wound was not found.”
“Therefore, if the wound is successfully found then victory can be obtained. But before that, a strong alliance is needed.”
“So you've rounded your throat.”
“Yes, the real enemy we have to fight is not those demons, but rather Leiava. Therefore, whatever happens I must make an alliance with the demons and change the course of this war into saving the world from Leiava's attack, not the demons.”
“Can you do it?”
“Hah, don't underestimate me. I'll do everything I can to make it work, look and look forward to.”
“Iya yes, I look forward to it.”
“Haaa, I'll go first.”
“I'm coming.” (Lion)
“Good. Lucy, if there's anything tell me.”
“Ahh, yes. I also happen to want to go back to Thorwn because there is something I want to do. Ria, come.”
“Good.”
“Hmmm, so the rest there are only those 3, yes.”
“They 3 are home, lo.”
“Eh? Really?”
“You have set their lock location to arrive at Guil’kan kingdom when used.”
“So, yes. I just remembered, but why did they come home?”
“Yes, we'll just stay here for the next few days. So they chose to come back, besides that it's been a while since they didn't come home so it's possible that they missed their parents.”
“Hmmm, true also.”
“Ya, you could say this is also as a holiday for them.”
“Iya. Then we're leaving. Give my regards to the squad leaders and others.”
“Ya.”
I instantly moved to the place of the dragon king Homura.
“Wah, your boy is coming again. What was? And you also brought your wife.” Homura was still in his dragon form.
“Yes, she said she wanted to come along so I took her.”
“So. Ahhh, briefly. I want to finish my work for a while, you guys go inside.”
“Ya.”
Inside.
“Place is good.”
“Yes, that's how I felt when I first came here.”
A few minutes after that.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Homura came with his human form. “Haaaa, so what do you two want to talk about?”
“Not us, but only me. I want to ask, is it possible that the transfer of war conditions changed its direction?”
“Hmmm, you intend to move the target that should be attacked, like that.”
“Ya.”
“That's possible, but with some conditions.”
“Some conditions?”
“First, the opponent being a diversion is stronger than the opponent being diverted. Then all the alliance parties agreed to it and most importantly, the transferred alliance could be part of the assault alliance.”
“For the first condition may have been fulfilled, the demon lord is nothing against Leiava, just think of it as the first point. But there are still 2 points left.”
“Approval from alliance side, yes.”
“If they agree, then there is only 1 point left, if all conditions can be met the war diversion can be done.”
“So inevitably I have to go to the Drawf continent and also the HalfHuman continent, yes to ask for approval.”
“This is just a suggestion from me, before doing that you should make an alliance with the demon lord's side first. I'm sure if you explain it properly he'll understand, besides the demon lord is not actually a bad person. He only acted wickedly in order to fulfill his role as the demon lord.”
“Yes, I also understand that.”
“Wait, you seem to know the demon king?” (Lion)
“Sure, besides that he was my student first. It's been 700 years since he first learned from me. I taught her many things, but because of her role she became like that.”
“Eh, the demon lord is your disciple?”
“Yes, what are you two surprised for? I am a dragon who has lived for more than 5000 years, my experience is far more compared to other living things. Don't underestimate my title as a dragon king.”
“Eh?!! Dragon king?!”
“Eh? Your husband hasn't said it?”
“Ari, do you know? Why didn't you say it?”
“Ahahaha, I forgot.”
“King, dragon one of the creatures considered sacred in this world.”
“Hahaha, miss your compliment is overrated. Now I'm just an old dragon who likes to relax and spend time with useless things. I also have long forgotten that nickname.”
“Oh yes, I heard that if many dragons fly in the sky it means that the ritual has already begun, yes.”
“Huh? A ritual? What ritual?”
“Ari, you didn't read it, yeah. It is already in the book.”
“Eh? Which book?”
“Book I gave you before.”
“Eh? You gave me a book?”
“Yes, don't-don't you forget to read it.”
“Ya, possibility.” I don't remember when or where.
“The ritual I mean is a ritual where male and female dragons fly to find a mate.”
“Hmmm, so.”
“Before I had not noticed it, but when I remembered it the reason why many dragons fly at the same time was because of this.”
“Wah miss, it turns out you also know this.”
“Yes, I also read books about the dragon race. Even so I did not know that there would be a festival held when the ritual began.”
“Hahaha, this year quite a lot of young dragons get a partner.”
“Eh, don't-don't when I met you yesterday.”
“Yes, I was watching them all from below while looking at whether the hero castle had arrived or not.”
“So.”
“This ritual is a sacred thing and is very much awaited by the teenage dragons, they will show their ability to captivate their hearts. That sounds very romantic, they are fighting for what they want to get.”
“Hahaha, that's right.”
“Oh yes, dragon king where is your wife?”
“Ahh, I have no wife. Because of my very old age I have lost my desire for it, even so I still accept people who want to talk or talk to me a lot with open arms. Besides I really appreciate people who want to know something.”
“So.”
“Experience is the most powerful weapon in war, and knowledge is the weapon to form a great empire, then wisdom is the weapon to make leadership run perfectly. I've been doing that for 5000 years, so I know it.”
“Ari, it's about Dravin.”
“True also.”
“Dragon king, we have a dragon in our kingdom which we named Dravin.”
“Dragon?”
“Actually a few years ago there were some dragons that attacked our kingdom, we killed one of them and paralyzed the other then the rest fled.”
“Hmmm, so.”
“Then the one we disabled somehow became tame on us, and until now the dragon has always helped us.”
“So, yes. That means you guys are already considered a family by him.”
“Family?”
“You know, only people who are respected and have relationships with dragons can ride dragons. Other people can ride it, but it must be with the person that the dragon regards as family.”
“So.”
“Then, anyone who has been able to ride the dragon?”
“I, my husband, then prince Lucy.”
“Ahh, the young man who prostrated yesterday at the cafe.”
“Ya.”
“That is very rare, at most dragons will only allow 2 people who can ride it, but up to 3 people may be dragons that are unique.”
“A unique dragon?”
“Yes, there are a few possible things that could happen. The dragon is a dragon that is different from other dragons, or arguably a special dragon. Then, the dragon was one of the heroes' pets.”
“Dragon special? What does it mean?”
“Ahhh, the dragon that was given the title by the dragon king. There are only a few dragons that I have given special titles to, so it is likely that they are dragons that I have given special titles to, but it is not a possibility that they are actually dragons that are nurtured by heroes. Hmmm, if not mistaken first one of the heroes asked baby dragons to be made a pet.”
“Eh? Asking? What given?”
“Yes, after consideration and also some other things they were granted that permission. Besides that hero really likes dragons, he said that all dragons are cute and funny. When I heard it, I laughed. A creature that is known as a holy creature and also has authority and is mighty and also wise is said to be cute and funny. It's obvious it's become a very funny thing.”
“Eh, what happened to that? Is that weird?”
“Yes, it's already obviously weird.”
“But, I don't think so. The first time I saw Dravin for the first time it was also creepy, but when I got to know her she turned out to be cute and cute. I think Dravin looks more like a pet than a dragon.”
“Iona, are you sure to say that?”
“Iya, besides Dravin’an no biting.”
“I was curious how you looked when you saw Dravin.”
“Hahahaha, you treated a dragon as a pet. It's been a long time since I've felt anything like this, it's made me feel young again. Miss, do you want to keep a dragon?”
“Eh, what can? But, I was confused what to feed him later. Besides, I never saw what Dravin was eating so I didn't know what the dragon needed to eat, and again the baby dragon. Besides I think keeping a dragon will be very troublesome and will also be troublesome, I am not used to having to feel something.”
“So, very unfortunate. Then, that's all you want to talk about.”
“If I may ask you again, I would like to ask you about the demon lord. What kind of person he is.”
Long enough after that.
We returned to the sky palace.
Rest room.
“Haaaa, this place now belongs to just the two of us.”
“But, it feels lonely.”
“Yes, there are usually many people here but at this time in this house there are only two of us, this does feel very quiet.”
“Ari, want to shower together?”
“Hmm, alright.” There's no one else here, so no one's gonna bother you.
In the underground bath.
“Haaa, it's been a long time since I've been here.” I soaked quietly and peacefully, feeling relaxed and also relaxed I felt at this moment. “It feels very comfortable.”
“Iya, that's right. It's like a secret place for both of us, hehe.”
“Huh? Ari, what's wrong? Why do you see me like that?”
“Hmmm, you're getting fat, huh?”
“Eh? H-really? M-maybe, after all I've been eating a lot lately.”
“So.”
“You don't like?”
“Not really, besides as long as it doesn't bother you I won't get in the way. But, if you're already uncomfortable I'll ban it.”
“So. Ari, if I get fat would you still love me?”
“Haaaa, no matter what your circumstances I will still love you.”
“So, then do whatever your circumstances I will always love you.”
I approached Iona's chest and kissed her forehead. “I will leave something precious to me to you.”
“Huh? A-what?”
“When the time comes, you can return it to me.”
“Eh, what is it? What did you give me?”
“Reclassic. Haaaa, it feels very comfortable here.”
“Mooo, don't make me curious.”
Long enough after that, in the break room.
“Hoaaaam, after a shower is indeed the most delicious is sleep.”
“Ari, I want to return to the palace for a while.”
“Huh? What's up?”
“I want to make a report on dad.”
“So. Oh yes, I also have business in the headquarters and there is also something I want to talk about with the king.”
“Then let's go.”
“Ya.”
Diistane.
Nightfall.
“Ari, what do you want to talk to dad about?”
“Hmmm, just something small. But once the trouble at headquarters is over, you solve your problem first I'll pick you up in your room when it's done.”
“Good.”
We parted.
At the special headquarters.
“Vice commander.” (Lisa)
“Lysia, Rine, Sofia, how are things here when me and the others are not around?”
“Everything is fine no problem. Oh yeah, what about the vice commander and also the princess? Why are you back?”
“There are some things I want to do, you don't need to think.”
“So.”
“If you are tired you can take a leave first, do not force yourself after all this is not your job.”
“Thanks for the attention.”
“Hmmm, are there any difficulties while doing the task?”
“No, besides prince Lucy always help us to do difficult tasks.”
“So. Looks like it's okay here. I'll go see the squad leaders.”
“Good.”
Training venues.
“Deputy commander, you are back.” Grild yan saw me coming straight for me. “What's the problem?”
“No, I just want to see you guys.”
“So.”
“Where else?”
“Laren, Famus, and Dirk are currently in another kingdom.”
“Huh? Another kingdom? Why?”
“Deputy commander Lucy gave the order to train the troops in the works, he said to strengthen the power when fighting the demon king.”
“Hmmm, I doubt that they will be able to do the exercises given by the team leader.”
“If for that, prince Lucy said that if you give light training that can make life expectancy higher, then, in addition, he also said that this army is the main weapon if until this force spreads then there will be bad things that happen later.”
“He already knows, yes. Yes I wouldn't be surprised. Then why are you still here? Aren't you coming?”
“I'm in charge of protecting the kingdom, if all the squad leaders go deputy commander Lucy says that this kingdom can easily be destroyed, and again the most important command is the deputy commander is not currently here therefore I am here now to guard the kingdom.”
“Like that, at least I've understood.
“Then, deputy commander, why are you back? Is your job done?”
“No, still not. I came back just to check it out.”
“Like it.”
“Because things are fine here I don't have to worry anymore, it seems like an order from Lucy could be useful. Oh yeah, I'll tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“The order you guys have to prioritize is I, Lucy, after that it's just Iona. When Lucy and I are absent, Iona's orders are absolute, and when I don't have Lucy's orders are absolute.”
“Good, I get it. I'll tell that to others.”
“Ya.” Lucy's intelligence is beneath me while Iona's intelligence is below Lucy's, giving her a last place for her isn't a bad thing, it prevents her from making unreasonable orders. As long as there are people who can think calmly I will choose him as a substitute, then for the Iona case I hope he can learn from me and Lucy. As much as possible I don't want to make him do something that troubles himself, maybe that's one of the reasons I'm giving him the last position.
Palaces.
“Ari, you're back. Is your business at headquarters done?” I met Iona right at the entrance of the throne room.
“Already, how about you is it done?”
“Iya. Oh yeah, there's someone else inside. I don't think this is the right time to see Dad.”
I smile. “Iona, the one I want to meet is the king not my in-law.”
“Huh?”
I went inside, inside there were quite a number of people and some new people that I had not seen before.
‘New ministerial fund, yes.’ It was my first thought when I saw them, the prime minister and the old higher-ups had been replaced yes I hope they will not do anything stupid like the previous higher-ups.
I go straight to the king, generally people will pay their respects when they see him. But in my case it was different, not because I was his son-in-law but something different.
“Show your respectful attitude when meeting the king.”
King ignored. “Ari, what's up? Why are you interrupting our conversation?”
“Your highness, I want to give you something important.”
“An important thing?”
I explained about Leiava even though all of them here seemed to be in disbelief, but after I combined it with the frequent earthquake incidents and also some other detailed explanations they were finally able to accept it.
“Creatures that lived in the past, yes. What are you going to do now, my son?” (King)
“War diversion.”
“War transition? I've heard of it, but no one has ever done it.” (??) The guest next to me spoke up.
“Ari, can you explain to others about war diversion?”
“Hmmm, war intinyasaat already determined against an enemy, but if there is a stronger enemy and endanger then a war diversion can be done. I already talked about it with the dragon king.”
“A-what? Dragon king? You mean dragon king Homura?!” (??)
“Y-yes. Ehhh, who are you?” He knew.
“I, I am one of the messengers of the kingdom of Guil. My name is Rie.”
“Hmmm, so.”
“Then, have you met the dragon king?”
“Yes, I can't tell you more details. But for sure the war diversion must be done.”
“You've found a way?” (King)
“Iya, I've got the instructions to do it. I can immediately complete the conditions for war diversion as soon as possible.”
“Alright, I'll allow it.”
“Thanks.” To be honest I do not need permission, other than that the movement and the alliance I made using my own name has nothing to do with this kingdom. “Daddy, if anything happens to me. I hope you can replace me to take care of Iona.”
“What did you say?”
“War this time is not like a regular battle, if against the demons there is still a chance to win. But the one who will be the opponent this time is a creature sent directly by the goddess. I thought there would be a lot of casualties, not a possibility that one of them was me. Therefore I order like that, this is your son-in-law's request.” After saying that I left.
Out.
“Ari, what are you talking about?”
“Hmmm, not an important thing. Oh yeah, want to take a walk before returning?”
“But here it's night.”
“Hmmm, true also.” Because of the difference in places, the time here was different from where the sky palace was. I held her hand. “At least, night walks are also no problem.”
We take a walk at night.
“Hmmm, Iona do you have any place of recommendation?”
“I? Nothing, you asked me anyway I thought you'd found it.”
“Eh, it's no Risa-oneesama.”
“Where?”
“Itu.” I pointed to a cafe.
“That's where Risa's usually relax, how about we go there too.”
“Bby.”
A few moments later.
“Wah, Iona, Ari, what do you guys do nights here?” (Risa)
“We plan to take a little walk, and accidentally see you. So we came to see you, after all it's been a while we didn't see you.”
“True also.”
“Ahh, daughter, Ari, what are the future kings and queens doing here?” (Rui)
“I am not a future king, I am only a worker.”
“Ehh, who?”
“Iona, she is Rui, her friend Risa-oneesama.”
“So, I'm Touji Iona, greetings. I'm not a princess anymore either.”
“Haaaaa.” I just took a deep breath hearing him say that.
“You chose to use your husband's name?” (Rui)
“What is weird?”
“No, but doesn't that mean you're not part of the kingdom anymore.”
“Not so, since Iona is the only princess of Thorwn kingdom, she remains a princess at least until the heir of the kingdom is born.” (Risa)
“So. Ahh, what do you two want to order?”
“Air white only.”
“If you're a princess?”
“I warm tea.”
“Then so good, wait a minute.”
“Ya.” Rui left.
“You two are back, is everything going smoothly?”
“Iya, we are back because at this time the sky palace is re-watered its fuel.”
“Refilling fuel?”
“Yes, the sky palace stops being worshiped by dragons and will not move for the next few days, so during that time we do not have busyness.”
“Ya, although when moving we do not have busyness.” (Lion)
“So. Dragon valley, yes.”
A few minutes after that.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, the order is already coming.” Rui put the order we requested.
“Ari, are you sure you only drink water?”
“Yes, I need so as not to dehydrate and my body fluids are met, this is enough.”
“So. Emmm, this tastes good.”
“Tea used is the best tea for special people.”
“Thanks.”
“Ahh, I'll go there's still a lot of work to do.”
“Ya.” (Risa) Rui's gone. “A quiet night. Ari, Iona, are you guys dating?”
“Y-yes, that's how it is. Maybe you could say want to go around before returning, properly’an Ari.”
“Iya.”
“So... In addition, lately there have been frequent earthquakes.”
“Risa-oneesama, how often is the frequency of earthquakes?”
“Eh, frek, what?”
“I mean Ari, how often earthquakes occur and how big the impact, like that. Ari, do not use words that are difficult to understand.”
“You understand it.”
“I'm always with you, so I've heard a lot of strange phrases you mentioned.”
“If it is, sometimes in 1 day there are 2 to 3 times earthquakes occur. And the damage experienced is also not so big, at least the existing building none collapsed due to the earthquake that occurred.”
“2 to 3 times per day, yes.”
“Yes, but sometimes there is no earthquake. If the earthquake is too frequent, in the next few days there will be no more earthquakes, but after a few days missed the earthquake will appear again.”
“Hmmm, so. Looks like the time is near.”
“Ari, do you know anything?”
“Risa-oneesama, do you know about the story of the legendary creature that destroyed this world in ancient times?”
“That's a fairy tale I've read, though it's not so well understood. In addition, the story is too short and also difficult to understand, especially in the use of the language.”
“So, so I can assume you know about that legendary creature. Actually, most likely this frequent earthquake is the result of the creature.”
“Eh, is that right? How big is that creature that can cause a disaster like this?”
“If I explain the magnitude, he is very big, and tall. The creature was named Leiava.” When I said like that Risa looked so surprised.
“Leiava? Did I not hear wrong?”
“Yes, you are not wrong with me, his name is Leiava.”
“Kak Risa, do you know anything?”
“Monster who has great power, and can also destroy a kingdom with just one run.”
“Yes, I can imagine that. But, great power?”
“Iya, supposedly he said in ancient times exactly 5000 years ago. Leiava was once worshipped as one of the creatures sent directly by the god and considered as a great creature. Because of this Leiava has a very great power that is able to protect anyone, grant any request, and can also convey a message directly to the god.”
“So.” This is something I just learned, the dragon king did not explain this. But at least what was conveyed by Risa as well as the dragon king Homura had in common. “Can you tell me what power Leiava has?”
“Nobody knows, most of which are told that Leiava can duplicate himself other than that ability no one knows what other abilities the great creature has.”
“Once, yes.” The explanation of Leiava's strength was very few, with such a thing if not to think of a mature plan then there was a high chance that the battle against Leiava would become very, very difficult compared to fighting against the demon lord.
There is no explanation more than this about Leiava, you could say that at this time I am experiencing a lack of information. ‘It's troublesome.’ The less information I get I can't imagine the state of the battlefield, and most importantly I can't count how many casualties will fall. This is the most difficult thing, against an enemy that is impossible to defeat with only a little information.
