Chapter 428 – Side Story – Flower Magical Girl (2)
The Kingdom of Vale, which was rebuilt from destruction, has four royal families.
Justitia, the eldest and first princess, Keren, the second and first prince, Eila, the fourth and second princess, and Flora, the youngest.
Except for these four, there was no remaining royal family member using the surname Bale.
The previous generation’s strategy of having many children paid off. It wasn’t my intention, I just really liked Geumseul.
The fact that there were only four royal families left in a country was, in other words, like saying that every time a problem arose with one person, the country was 25% closer to destruction.
And now, one of those precious royals, Aila Veil, was withering away and dying in real time.
“Aila! They say there was a problem at construction site number 7!”
“Aila! It is said that a large demon has appeared on the southern road!”
“Aila!”
“Aila!”
…
“There is too much work!!”
Bang!
Aila slammed her fist on the table. The dishes hit the table and made a small noise.
Her behavior and behavior made it difficult to think of her as a noble princess, but no one pointed that out.
Now it’s meal time. It was also a dinner where all four siblings gathered together just once a day.
Even though the beautiful princess was so busy that her face was covered in deep dark circles, it was the only time she could relax without thinking about work.
The only people present are the siblings. Thanks to this, Aila was able to express her emotions without worrying about others.
In any case, Justitia would have said something to maintain at least some dignity, but today she didn’t say anything.
Honestly, I agreed.
Both Justitia and Keren were having a hard time with 24 hours a day.
The one who could afford it was Flora.
Even though he’s busy taking care of Flora, he doesn’t give her anything to do… It wasn’t like that. It might have been like that in the past, but if it was like that now, Flora herself would have puffed out her cheeks.
Flora’s job was to stabilize public sentiment. Now that security and simple paperwork have been added, her workload is not much different from that of her siblings.
However, it was a leisure that came about thanks to Flora’s personality, which treated the work of going outside more like rest than tiring work.
“Sister Aila. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Hey, it’s okay. “She is a great help, even just with the police work that Flora does.”
Aila smiled and waved her hand at Flora’s worried suggestion.
She didn’t mean to be considerate of Flora. Even though the people sent by the Lexis Empire were helping with security work, a country that entrusted the security of its capital to the military of another country could not have been a proper country.
In the meantime, there was no need to elaborate on how helpful Flora’s work was, as she was able to clearly show with just one person, ‘We are protecting our country.’
So there was no need for Flora to step forward and do more work. It was more of a problem if it interfered with his original work while doing other work.
“Still, is there anything else? “I want to be helpful too.”
“Hmm. Even if you say that. Flora, what would you do… Ah.”
Suddenly, something appeared in Aila’s mind.
“Flora. Do you still have it? That… What about magical girls?”
“This?”
Flora took out the magic staff she always carried – Ruby. Other items from the magical girl set were carefully stored in the room.
“What did they say the effect was?”
“Well, first of all, the magic becomes stronger, you can fly, and the damage you receive is consumed with magic power instead…”
The effects of the magical girl set were enormous.
Aila was lost in her thoughts as she listened to the effects Flora was reciting.
Flora is strong.
To some extent, she is strong enough to compete for first or second place in the current Vale Kingdom.
It was partly because she was the previous royal knight commander and because all the strong people died in the war, but it was purely because Flora was strong.
She was clearly the weakest of her siblings, as she was the youngest, when she was separated at the risk of death, but when they met again, she became surprisingly strong, and it is said that she came with the hero party to capture the Demon King. It was absurd.
She felt like asking what kind of trip she had been on to become so strong, but she put it off until later.
Anyway, the important thing is that Flora is strong.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to use it in a different place?
“Flora. Would you like to try patrol work?”
“Patrol work?”
Flora tilted her head at what Aila said. Justitia guessed what that meant and spoke sternly.
“Aila? “You’re not trying to make our youngest do something dangerous, are you?”
“No, sister. Do you really think I would ask Flora to do something dangerous? And you know it too. “Now he’s stronger than I.”
What Aila said was true.
Simply considering her capabilities as a wizard, Flora has not yet reached Justitia’s level. However, when it comes to overall strength, choosing to use the right magic at the right time, Flora was superior.
“That’s right. Sister Justy. I’m fine!”
Flora also joined in on Aila’s words.
Due to her strong will to help her siblings, Justitia also gave in.
“Good. Instead, be sure to report to me what specifically you want me to do.”
“Of course.”
After receiving Justitia’s permission, Eila talked about various things with Flora and slowly came up with an estimate.
◆
Return to the castle once every three days.
Report whenever there is a battle above a certain level.
Thoroughly check consumables before each departure.
And so on, after many promises that seemed half-worrying about a child left by the water, the magical girl Flora, no, Flower, was finally able to begin her activities.
The main activity is to fly in the sky and patrol, and if you see a problem, go and intervene. Occasionally, if there is a den of thieves designated by Eila, you fly and attack it.
The scope of the activity extended to the entire Vale Kingdom, so it was an activity that could be called tactical flora.
So, when the number of demons and thieves that Flora had burned exceeded double digits, rumors about the magical girl slowly began to spread.
She’s a magical girl who wears pink, fluttery clothes and beats up bad guys.
“Sister Aila! “I’m back!”
One day, after becoming accustomed to her magical girl activities, Flora flew in through the open window of the royal castle and said with a bright smile.
“Look at this! “Did I receive something like this?”
Flora held out the paper in her hand. Something was written on the paper in crooked letters.
“Huh? “Give me a moment.”
Ayla took the paper Flora held out to her and glanced at it. Fortunately, it was a letter written with a pure heart by a very young child.
Becoming famous didn’t always have positive effects. It was just a possibility since she knew that well, but it seems like she was worried for no reason this time.
Ayla said after returning her letter to Flora.
“Flora. “There is a place you must go this time.”
“Where should I go? Are you a thief? “I’ll burn it right away!”
“No, no. Just listen. Don’t try to burn it right away…”
“Huh? “Aren’t you going to burn it?”
“I will burn it, but I will burn it.”
It was heartbreaking for Aila to see Flora’s deep anger towards her thief. Now that she is Eila, she knows roughly what she went through while she was separated from Flora.
Whether from personal feelings or from the perspective of running a kingdom. She had plenty of reasons to burn the bandits.
But this time she was difficult to approach so lightly.
“This band of thieves is very suspicious.”
“Is it suspicious? “You mean it’s big?”
“No. It’s not that big. Rather, the scale itself is rather small. But… There is talk of kidnapping people and even buying slaves.”
“A group of thieves? “You’re buying slaves, not selling them?”
“Okay. And it’s not like I’m actually buying food.”
People consume resources just by being alive. No matter how much you starve, there is a limit.
However, while gathering a lot of people, they do not seek food separately. In other words, it meant that he was doing something that didn’t matter even if he died.
“… Is it a sacrifice?”
“I think so.”
The two sisters looked at each other seriously and nodded.
I didn’t know what they were planning, but it was clear that it was something unusual.
“So what you’re going to do this time is not fighting directly. “If we fight, we will send the army.”
“Army? “Aren’t you busy there?”
“I’m busy. But the reason the military is busy is that they are busy dealing with these things.”
“Yes… Is it. So what should I do?”
“We support the army when it fights… Just scout from the sky until we arrive. That’s enough.”
Flora was a little dissatisfied, but he knew it was dangerous, so he agreed.
“Go in and rest today. “I’ll leave right away tomorrow.”
“Okay. See you tomorrow.”
Since we had already gone on patrol once today, Flora was a little tired. He was late too.
Flora calmly went to her room.
And early the next morning, we set off for the destination that Aila had told us about.
