Chapter 358 – Day 51 – Last Moments in Magicka Realm
“Princess! I think you can go this way!”
“Thank you! Ceres! Whoa! Hedone! Arisa! Are you okay! Ceres seems to have found a way out!”
Mana was on the back of the princess who had screamed loudly. Her body was already cooling down, but she was not important to the princess.
“Ha! That’s good! Seriously! It’s like a maze and I can’t figure out how to escape!”
“I thought that in the worst case, I would have to use the magic stone Diana found.”
Talking calmly, Hedone and Arisa quickly descended toward the stairs where Ceres was standing.
The princess also went down the stairs in the same way, but at an urgent moment Diana was nowhere to be seen.
“…Dina-sama…?”
An ominous expression, Ceres looked around her hastily and remembered Diana running opposite him and moving her legs hastily.
“Diana-sama! Are you inside! I found a way out!”
Ceres shouted at the half-open door, but Diana, who stood idly by in her room her, did not move at all.
Rather, she was slowly swallowing her saliva while holding a book with both of her hands.
“…This…”
The magic book made of sticky leather was the perfect size for Diana’s hand hers, and although she couldn’t read the large letters, she could understand what they meant.
“Diana-sama!!”
“Ooh, ooh, ooh..?!”
Eventually Ceres came into her room, grabbed her by the shoulders, and shook her. Diana made a funny noise and hid her magic book under her clothes.
“Diana-sama!
“Oh, oh, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Mr. Ceres, I’m really sorry! Venus? The other women?”
“Everyone has followed the princess down!”
“You came all this way because of me… Gee, I’m really sorry! Let’s go down quickly!”
Diana said with an awkward smile, then with her hands her perfectly crumpled the magic book into her clothes her, she hurried out the door.
“…Dina-sama…”
Seeing Diana with a worried expression on her face her, Ceres could not bear to speak because that was her status her, but she knew very well that her magic books her were dangerous.
“…It can’t be helped.”
Seeing the bookshelf with hundreds of sorcery books, Ceres rubbed the runestone to create a fireball and threw it away.
—Roaring fire!
Seeing the bookshelf emitting bright red flames, Ceres ran out the door to guide Diana without looking back.
It was the best thing a sensible maid could do.
* * * *
“Uhhhhh!!!”
“This, this is real!! What kind of idiot thought of this way!!!”
“Ba, stupid princess!!! Please let go of your hand!!!”
Three screaming girls were holding on to a boat made of wood.
The party, riding on a poorly made boat that fits the words ‘tongtongbae’ and ‘ferry’, was launched from a floating castle that had begun to fall and was flying in a parabolic arc.
The escape route Ceres guided was perfect, but the most important means of escape was missing, and Arisa and the princess tried their best to come up with an idea.
It was a problem to shoot the ferry like a cannonball, somehow get out of the floating castle, and at the last moment, Arisa’s flight magic to take care of it, but…
“Venus! 3 seconds! I’ll make you wings in 3 seconds…! Give strength to your arms!”
“Don’t worry about strength! Maybe it’s because you got out of the castle…! Your strength is springing up!”
The rumbling ferry can no longer withstand the force of gravity and fights! And fell to the ground with a sound.
Seeing that, Arisa closed her eyes tightly and made four huge wings on the back of the princess, and the princess opened her wide arms to hug Arisa and Hedone and flapped her wings desperately.
“Turn it off…!!!!!”
It was so ridiculous to move my legs back and forth nonstop as if I was walking in the sky, but I couldn’t help it.
Wealth Oh! In the meantime, Udangtangtang! The bricks that made up the room began to crumble with a sound, and at this point, they had already fallen into the huge pit Jupiter had created, creating fine dust.
“Princess! Give strength to your legs!”
“Venus!! You! You know we all die if we fall!?”
“In my arms right now! Did you know that Arirang, Hedone, Diana, and Ceres are being held in your arms? You’re saying that?!”
The legs of the princess, who was holding the four young ladies in her arms her, finally touched the ground.
Udang-tang-tang! There was nothing strange about falling down with a sound, but who was the princess? She was not a human, but a member of the royal family.
While feeling the pain that her leg bones were about to break, she was able to land on the ground without falling narrowly, demonstrating a sense of balance that was close to a feat.
“Ooh… Whoa… Ha, really… That’s awesome. I almost peed…”
Arisa jumped off her pole, wiping the sweat from her forehead to her.
“Whoa… You did a good job… Foolish princess.”
Hedone kissed her princess on the cheek and fell from her arms her.
“Thank you for your hard work, Venus, haha… If only I could use blood magic, Venus would have been less difficult.”
Diana gave her princess a thumbs up.
“Thank you for your hard work. Princess… Did your leg hurt?”
“Whoa… Don’t worry, even your ankles are fine.”
As the princess smiled and twirled her ankles, Ceres sighed and burst into laughter.
At the same time, Ceres knelt down in front of the princess and held out her hands her.
“…Ah.”
Realizing that her mana her was tied to her own back her for a moment, her joy at having escaped her her, her princess, with her expression unable to laugh or cry, very slowly moved her mana her and her hips her of to her two hers. Receiving her her hand, he held her in her arms.
“I won’t be able to carry her mana her on my back her forever.”
“…”
“Ceres, lay Mana in her room her. And Arisa, if you can, use her Mana’s body her as much as possible… Can you please? As soon as we arrive at the Imperial Palace, I want to ask Grace to hold a proper funeral.”
“I can do that much. Venus will never worry about anything.”
Arisa kissed the princess with a look of trust in her.
The princess, who finally put her mana on Ceres’ hands her, bowed to Ceres and Arisa by bowing to her waist her, meaning that she would do her favor her until the end.
“Venus is… Resting. You need to get your mind together.”
Only after hearing Arisa’s kind words did the princess press her slightly hazy head her with her hand and turn her body her to look at the huge pit.
“Really…”
Thinking that it was a lie that she had just been in the floating castle, the princess slowly walked forward.
“Bah, stupid princess!”
When Hedone saw that figure, she blacked out and grabbed her princess’s wrist her.
She could n’t necessarily say that, but it was because the expression on her princess ‘face made her look like someone about to commit suicide.
“Eh…? Why are you doing that, Hedone?”
“Oh, no. The princess’ expression is so strange.”
Haha! Now that I’ve been able to quietly see what Obama did with my own eyes, of course my expression gets weird.”
Even as the princess said that, she squeezed Hedone’s hand in reverse, pulled it, and pressed each other’s buttocks together.
“…Princess. Are you okay?”
Venus didn’t answer and shook his head from side to side.
“It looks like Mana is alive and she will talk to me right now. I… What the hell…”
The princess smiled awkwardly as she looked at Hedone, unable to bear her last words her.
“…You wanted to say that you don’t know why you came to Magicka Realm?”
Haha…”
“That’s right. If the perverted princess thinks so, everything in the Magicka Kingdom is useless.”
Even as Hedone said that, in her final moments she stroked the back of her hand, remembering the mana she called her sister her.
“But the princess. The emotions of her sister and Mr. Mana felt were amazing. She was an idiot. She was incredibly grateful for every minute and every second she spent with the princess and she felt happy.”
“Hedone did it…”
“Because I’m the younger sister and Mana-san is the older sister. She was able to share her memories of her in a similar way.”
I want to give the princess her hope her.
May her dear friend not be left in sorrow.
Hedone, who knew that feeling better than anyone else, put on the brightest expression possible.
“Mana, her sister’s only thought her was death. She went to the academy, and while she graduated and did various things, her sister and her only had one job.”
“… Are you talking about atonement?”
“That’s right. How can I atone? How can I be forgiven for the sins I committed as a child? Mana-sister had no choice but to come to a conclusion. I must die. I must die. Forgive my mother and the people of the Magicka Kingdom. You must die to receive it.”
Hedone, who saw the darkness of mana, grabbed the princess’s hands to the point of sweating and trimming them.
“Such an older sister … Shed tears when she heard that the foolish princess had appeared in her mansion. She said that she would finally be able to die.”
“But I didn’t kill Mana…”
“Yes, rather, the princess … She really spent 10 years in her mansion like an idiot. She had such a good time with her older sister that I thought. Thanks to her older sister. She could die with a very happy heart.”
“…But she didn’t die after all.”
When the princess spoke with a self-deprecating smile, Hedone shook her head.
“Fool princess. Mana-sister died 20 years ago, no, she already died 30 years ago.”
“…Still.”
“Because of Queen Madolce’s endless greed of her, she became a homunculus and woke up from her deathly sleep of her. A girl has been carrying the unbearable weight of sin for 10 years.”
After hearing Hedone’s words, the princess couldn’t say anything for a moment and quietly lowered her head.
“Do you know what life meant to my sister? It was a never-ending series of sins. Until I reported to His Majesty, Emperor Jupiter, I lived with the guilt of being born with a disability that prevented me from properly regenerating magic power. It was the only light in such a dark life.”
“……If Mana really thought that way… No, Mana would have thought that way.”
The princess, whose expression had mixed thoughts, began to open her eyes little by little as she stared at the huge pit in silence.
“Heh, Hedone! Now… Wait! Look over there! In the place where the floating castle sank…!”
“It’s a gift from Mana-sister. It’s beautiful, right?”
The pure white light that began to rise from the smashed ruins began to turn into a huge tree before I knew it.
As if the blessing the cursed and ruined Magicka Kingdom, the giant tree began to produce leaves that emitted a faint light.
Thanks to that, I began to think that the princess, who was standing quite far away, was really beautiful even when she saw it.
“…Was it created by Mana?”
“Yes, Mana-sister used Queen Madolche’s barrier to create that beautiful tree. From now on, many people will be able to live in Magicka Kingdom. Foolish princess.”
“……If that’s what Mana wants.”
The princess, who clenched her fists tightly, looked into Hedone’s eyes and nodded her head.
It was too painful to let go of her Mana, whom she met again after 10 years, but Mana himself faced her death her precious friend her more humbly than anyone else.
As someone who loved and cherished her, her princess decided to respect her her heart her.
“Are you finally done? Venus? You talked to Hedone for a long time.”
“What were you stealing from behind, Arisa…”
The princess, who had sniffled her tears or runny nose, hurriedly rubbed her face with her hand her, and at that cute figure, Hedone smiled and wiped her face her with her handkerchief her.
“No, well… There is such a thing as the worst case scenario. Mr. Hedone seems to have finished it quite well… Without any problems.”
“It’s okay not to worry. We were lucky enough to share our memories.”
“Um… Ah, yes! Hedone! Please explain!”
The princess thought it was strange that she explained her memories of her mana her in detail just before her trap her, and she poked Hedone’s chest with her fingers.
“How can you have such a thrilling relationship with Mana? I don’t even know why Hedone and Mana called each other younger sister.”
“Wow… Venus you… Wow… No matter how much you don’t know about magic, wouldn’t it be noticed if Hedone spoke so blatantly?”
“Sir, you don’t explain, how the hell do you know!”
Arisa, the hippopotamus the princess stomped her feet on, smiled and looked at Hedone as if she was dumbfounded.
“Ah…Princess.”
Hedone pointed his hand at his body his and smiled bitterly.
“My body was created by His Majesty Emperor Jupiter using the life creation magic that Queen Madolce was researching. My body was created with a magic almost similar to the magic that created Mana-san’s body.”
“…Abama… Of life creation… I heard about it at the engagement ceremony, but he really uses Hedone magic… Really…?”
The princess was so embarrassed that she couldn’t say anything and she couldn’t help but look at Arisa and Hedone several times.
