The queen of the fairies, Sylph. Rigel had learned that there was a figure like him, yet this was the first time he had seen his figure directly.
"So, you're the fairy queen..." Mumbles Rigel.
She is a beautiful woman who is five years older than Rigel. Her hair was light green with a beautiful and slim body. He was wearing leaf green clothes whose color was as clean as his hair and eyes. The butterfly wings on her back are beautiful. From the tip of his hair to his feet only display beauty as if he is the beauty itself.
Rigel was slightly stunned before the figure that described the meaning of beauty itself. Feeling too long staring at the Fairy Queen, Rigel finally came to his senses and returned to reality. Right now he is in a much different place than before.
The forest is greener and more alive than ever. Fireflies were flying around, this was the first time Rigel had seen this animal in his entire life. Although it was night time, it almost felt like daylight because Rigel could clearly see the scenery around.
"... Where's me?" ask Rigel to the Fairy Queen who is just smiling.
"I'm sorry I brought you here so suddenly... Welcome to the territory of the Elves, Spirit Fores." Said the Fairy Queen while stretching her hands as if she wanted to hug.
Rigel ignored his friendly treatment and asked, "What do you want from me? I'm not sure you kidnapped me just to show off about this place." Rigel said coldly.
"I brought you here to talk about something important that no one else should hear, Hero Creator, Amatsumi Rigel." The Fairy Queen said, the smile on her lips is still forming and her eyes are softening.
"To talk?" Rigel muttered confusedly, "What do you want to talk to me about?" Continue with cold.
Rigel's mood is not good, so he will be angry if this conversation is not useful and does not make him interested. The Fairy Queen understood that Rigel was angry so she cursed him. The smile on the Fairy Queen's lips disappeared and she entered serious mode
"I will work with you to defeat Tortoise." His word.
Rigel did not suspect that the Fairy Queen wanted cooperation with him in this case. As Rigel recalled, he should not be helping humanity in any way, including the later Ragnarok war.
"... I'll listen to your proposal, Fairy." Rigel said seriously.
The Fairy Queen begins with a story that Lucifer told. Rigel just silently listened to find out if what Lucifer told him was the truth or not. So far the story is exactly the same, except when the story goes into the part of Lucifer that disrupts the seal. The Fairy Queen was a little angry when the story reached it, it could be heard clearly from her voice.
"... So anyway. The point is, you want to work with me to break the seal and save the girl?" Ask Rigel.
"so. Thank goodness you understood quickly." Said the Fairy Queen.
"Well, I understand the outline. I want to ask you a few things first, can't I?" Ask Rigel.
The Queen smiled to signify that she had no problem with Rigel asking her many things about this.
"Why are you asking for my help? there are many other heroes besides me and also, can't you save her yourself?" Ask Rigel.
"Of the twelve heroes, I thought you were the only one to rely on. Indeed, the heroes of Spear and Shield are quite believable, yet I still doubt them due to the limitations imposed by their Divine weapons. Then, I can't attack Tortoise because of my vow not to injure the Spirits and Elves." Said the Fairy Queen.
"So you chose me because I'm the only one who has no restrictions for not having a holy weapon." Rigel looked at the Fairy Queen suspiciously, "Very suspicious, that's an absurd answer to me." Rigel.
"Another reason I chose you is because of your right hand." Said the Fairy Queen.
Rigel was a little surprised yet he pretended not to know the intent of the Fairy Queen.
"What do you mean?" Ask Rigel.
Rigel was surprised to hear that. Although it was not the hand of a God, it was true that it was the gift of a God. Where did he know this? Even Rigel never told anyone that.
"I can feel it clearly, the powerful and mysterious energy in your right hand that keeps getting stronger with time. Even though you're a hero, you're also a human being. I've never seen this kind of energy even among the heroes of previous generations. What more if not the power of the gods? take it easy, I'm not going to expose it to anyone." Said the Fairy Queen.
So he was just speculating because he hadn't seen the energy in Rigel's right hand yet. At first, she thought that the Fairy Queen knew something about this. Although slightly disappointed, Rigel was also grateful that the Fairy Queen knew nothing more than that.
"Well, whatever you want to consider it any hand. We go back to the topic. Why do you want to save the woman in the story?" Ask Rigel.
"Because he's a precious person to me." The Queen of Elves said sadly.
Someone who got the love of the Fairy Queen. Rigel didn't know if this was related or not. But...
"Can I find out who that girl is?" Ask Rigel.
"She is, *#*#*"
The wind blew as the Fairy Queen answered the question she asked. Rigel did not expect it, really did not expect it. I don't think this has anything to do with him. Now there were more reasons not to refuse cooperation with the Fairy Queen.
"... I see, I understand. Then what kind of help do you want to give me?" Ask Rigel.
"I'll give you all my help, but I can't do it if you ask me to hurt Tortoise. I can only help you from behind." Said the Fairy Queen.
Rigel held her hair and pulled it slowly. He was thinking, what good payment would it be if he accepted this cooperation. After some time of thinking, Rigel knew what he had to do.
"Well, how about this. I will accept working with you, in exchange I want you to take this as an unpaid debt of gratitude to me. I'll ask him when the time comes and of course, you should be behind me as long as Tortoise hasn't been defeated." Rigel said, with a smile on his lips.
Seeing Rigel's bold smile, the Fairy Queen was slightly surprised but returned Rigel's smile with a smile.
"You are an interesting and courageous man... All right, I'll take it." Said the Fairy Queen with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Then we agree." Rigel said as he extended his hand.
The Fairy Queen accepted Rigel's handshake as a formality. In this way the cooperation between Rigel and the Fairy Queen has been agreed.
"In that case, I will return you to your place immediately. Just call me when the time comes for you to face Tortoise." Said the Fairy Queen while forming a green light in her hand.
The light shone brightly like before and swallowed Rigel into it. As the light fades, Rigel returns to where he was.
"Hmm, all right.. Now, let's go back to the Region and do something about this." Rigel murmured, talking to himself.
He needed some time, before intervening to face Tortoise. After all, other heroes didn't want to cooperate with him so Rigel would let them deal with him.
"For now, I have to find Ozaru and return to Ruberios to pick up Asoka and Merial and then return to the Region." Rigel murmured, staring at his fake left palm.
Rigel clenched his fists and strengthened his resolve. For now, Rigel will be silent and watch how other heroes battle with Tortoise.
