It took some time for Rigel to discuss his strategy with Takumi. While in the discussion, Takumi just quietly listened and sometimes gave some good advice. So that their conversation smoothly without obstacles.
When Rigel and Takumi come out, he finds Tirith and the others. They were surrounded by many cute little fairies. Instead of being distracted, they seemed happy to play with the Elves, especially Tirith.
Rigel could only let out his smile, "Let's go back and bury Nanami..."
Hearing Rigel's words, the atmosphere became a little sad. Right said Rigel, anyway Nanami is a Hero who has fallen. He deserves a good funeral for his body. Without wasting any more time, Rigel and the others teleported away from Valhalla. The little Elves waved their hands cheerfully as Rigel prepared a teleportation.
"Teleport!"
The surrounding scenery started to change and they had returned to where the soldiers were. There are still a lot of things to do first and apparently, Nanami Cemetery will be carried out in the nearest place, Britannia.
Time goes by quickly. Rigel had ordered the Region army back into the country with the command of Ray and Fang. Merial and Asoka will join Rigel, the fact that Merial became a Hero is already known to Asoka. However, Rigel still did not intend to publish the news widely. Sure, for now. The trip to Britannia took one night, because it was too waste of time, Rigel decided to go using Teleport, with Merial and Asoka. For the record, Rigel had silenced Altucray and Tirith's mouth about Britannia already falling into his hands.
"Better we rest in this place, tonight." Rigel stared at the tall pillar of Britannia Castle.
"Yes... But before that we have to ask King Altucray for permission to stay." Asoka smiled and agreed to Rigel's suggestion.
Asoka still did not know that this palace already belonged to Rigel in the shadows. Well, secrecy is important, so Rigel has no intention of telling her any time soon.
"Yes... For now, let's go in, after all I'm a Hero and you're a Region King, so there's no way they're going to reject someone as important as us... Besides that..." Rigel glanced at Asoka and Merial slightly, "I'm sure Walther is there, it's good that you ask for her blessing, Asoka." Rigel walked into the castle.
"Restu? what do you mean Rigel?" Asoka did not understand, but Rigel kept going and did not intend to explain. On the other hand, Merial looked understanding and slightly blushed.
Deciding to let the two of them, Rigel went towards the Throne room. There he saw Walther and the other Britannian nobles were busy discussing something in the King's absence. He looked exhausted facing those greedy nobles. Rigel decided to walk up to them.
"Yeah... Looks like you're in trouble, Walther. Leaving this kingdom, just to see me... The foolish Princess is truly irresponsible..." Rigel smiled mockingly as he passed by other nobles, including Walther.
"Mr Rigel! Thank you for worrying about me and also, I'm really amazed by you being able to destroy Tortoise!" Walther cheers.
Rigel smiled and patted his shoulder and passed through it. Rigel sat on an empty chair that no one dared to sit on. That seat is the Throne of the King of Britannia. Rigel unceremoniously sat there and left the other Nobles dumbfounded.
"Ahh~, this chair is too loud and smells of soil. Well, at least I can rest my body."
"Fuck! how dare you occupy the King's Throne! even though you're a Hero, it's not appropriate for you to behave like this!" A Britannian Noble called for his complaint.
Rigel looked at the man like trash, "Who are you then? a lowly person who dared to insult the Hero who had defeated TWO doom monsters? Realize where you are, fool."
Rigel's words were enough to shake everyone in the room. The nobleman Rigel despised looked extremely furious with him.
"You! how dare you insult me! I am the head of the noble Ravenpoop—" His words were cut by Rigel.
"Huhuh? A ravenpoop? Hahahahaha, I didn't expect if there was a noble by the name of crow's excrement... It's quite entertaining, but your sass is unforgivable. I'll give you a little punishment..." Rigel rose from his throne and was quickly in front of the nobleman.
There was not a single person here who could keep up with Rigel's terrifying speed. Rigel patted the boyars on the shoulder, "Look at my eyes..."
The nobleman looked at Rigel's blue right eye. He was carried into his eyes and saw a bunch of hideous undead residing within his body.
"Hahahhh! ahaarrhhh!!" The nobleman was screaming hysterically for something. Rigel walked away, leaving the person in a Domain of Death scare.
His mood was bad, Rigel decided to go somewhere else and contact someone through special telepathy with a little spirit as his intermediary. Rigel headed for the royal garden which was slightly burned by the molotov cocktail he had thrown earlier.
"Sylph.it's me."
The little green spirit slowly shone brightly and let out the voice of the person Rigel wanted to talk to.
"Yes.. Here I am..." Reply with friendly.
"I want to make sure something with you. It's about the girl."
"Ahh~, I have now released him from that Ice Crystal prison." Sylph replied in a slightly carefree and sad voice.
"Is he okay?" Rigel asked curiously.
"If you ask like that, I'm not sure. His body was fine and he was still breathing. He will never wake up from his sleep." Sylph's voice looked sad and lonely.
"so yeah... I want to confirm one thing to you, is she really Priscilla?"
"... Yes, she really is the girl I consider my daughter and received the love blessing of the Fairy Queen..." Sylph replied in a slight daze.
"Oh, yeah... Then, I'll meet you after finishing some things here..." Rigel immediately disconnected his call and looked at the darkening sky.
He understood very well the reason Priscilla might not wake up from her sleep. That was because his soul was no longer with his body. Rigel had met his soul when he entered the Hell Labyrinth a moment ago. Well, Rigel didn't have time to ponder on her, he would think of a way to wake Priscilla back up.
"Well, now it's better for me to recover my body and prepare for the funeral tomorrow." Rigel speaks for himself.
Since he has nothing else to do and his body is still not fully recovered, Rigel decides to end the day by resting his body.
***
In the morning, the funeral of the Hero of Whip is being carried out. The remaining eleven Heroes lined up in front of Nanami's tomb. The funeral itself was attended by many people from all walks of life. There were people who were mourning his death, there were also people present just to see the Hero in person. The current weather was not supportive, it rained down and made the people present wet.
"Dead in a world that doesn't belong to us, it feels so sad, yes..." Rigel muttered and looked at the overcast sky.
"If you think about it again, there's a point... We come into this world without our will. And forced to fight and carry a great burden on our shoulders..." Petra agrees.
He was called without warning and fought with monsters, then fought at the end of the journey. For some people this kind of world may be fun, but not for some others.
"The fight ahead will be even harder, I hope none of us die again." Hazama called out his heart.
Rigel sneered, "Heh, I'm not sure about that... Well, at least we learned a lesson from Nanami's death not to underestimate the fight ahead..." Rigel turned around and walked away from the funeral.
The other heroes still remain in place and mourn Nanami's death. Perhaps this will be the second warning to mankind. That the fight ahead will not be easier and they must try hard to conquer the obstacles.
Rigel who had moved away from the funeral paused for a moment and stared at the burial place.
"It's no use lamenting people I don't even know very well... Now, I better go see Priscilla and do everything I can think of to wake her up..."
That way, without the need to waste any longer. Rigel teleported to the Fairy forest to meet his old comrade in arms..
