Chapter 709 – Day 80 – The Princess Will Reap What She Sows.
“Arisa…! Is there a reason why these stars will disappear?! Is it all just because the magic was broken…?”
“There’s no way the magic could just be released! I made that pocket watch in the first place so that it could work semi-permanently. And…!”
Arisa quickly approached the princess, grabbed her pocket watch around her neck with both hands, and began looking around.
“No matter where I look, it’s fine! This is fine?! It’s working properly now!”
“If it’s working properly, why did the seven stars disappear?! I gathered the stars correctly…!”
─Cow!!!
As the princess spoke, the floor rang loudly once again.
Since she couldn’t figure out where on earth these vibrations were coming from, the princess’s expression became anxious, and she looked at Arisa and Ceres with surprised eyes.
“Princess Venus… I think I know why the seven stars disappeared.”
“Ceres knows…?”
The princess came up with her heart full of hope and looked at Ceres with eyes full of expectation.
“It’s just a malfunction, right?”
“Oh, no, princess… This is…”
Ceres swallowed her saliva and looked at Arisa with her anxious eyes.
“S-No way… Ah, if you think about it calmly, I guess that’s really the only reason… Well, Venus has made an effort so far…”
“What are you so anxious about, Arisa…?”
“Well, I’m sorry, Princess. There is only one reason why the star disappeared.”
Ceres swallowed her saliva and held the princess’s hand.
“The breakthrough of destiny that the princess had gathered has disappeared.”
“Well, what on earth is that…”
“So. You saw it earlier. The future that Mr. Ceres showed you suddenly turned black, and you couldn’t see anything. Don’t you understand? Venus? It’s about time you noticed!”
The princess’s eyebrows fluttered at Arisa’s shout.
“Are you saying the future has changed? Why is this thing called the future changing all the time?!”
Arisa shakes her head from side to side, looking at the dumbfounded princess.
“That’s not it, Venus! You can’t think like that! It’s simple. You idiot!”
“You say it’s simple…?! The fateful breakthrough I worked so hard to collect has turned into something that has no meaning between these mountains and counties. Is it a simple problem?!”
She was a truly unfair princess, but Arisa had to speak up.
“What can you do? You idiot. What can you do! There is only one way! You can change your fate so easily! You did it!”
“… Poetry, are you talking about time travel?”
The princess, covered in cold sweat, points to herself.
“Huh, but! Arisa! Listen carefully! Time travel… You can’t change fate! No matter how much you change the past, the future will never change…! Ah, no! Ceres told me. !”
“Yes, that’s true. Time has continuity. Even if you go to the past and kill me, nothing will happen to me here…?”
Arisa gets tired of hearing the two’s words and laughs.
“What are you two talking about… Hedone, you know what I’m talking about, right?”
Hedone, who had not said anything until now, nods her head very slowly.
“Yes, I… I understand what Arisa’s point is. It’s a simple thing. I see.”
“Wow, it’s simple?”
Ceres and the princess were lost.
It was an inevitable reaction. For the two of them, time travel was a round trip.
“You don’t have to go back to the past that you changed.”
“What… What…?”
The princess opened her mouth wide and looked at Ceres.
“That…? That kind of ignorant…?”
“T-That’s not wrong. Yes, if a time traveler stays here forever, the past that that being changed will last forever as long as she remains here.”
─Cow!!!!
The princess raised her head.
I heard the sound of something shaking and collapsing somewhere.
“What on earth is this…”
Is the being that creates a vibration so loud that dust falls from the ceiling really is the time traveler that Arisa was talking about?
The princess did not want to check.
* * * * *
─Kwaaang!!!!
“Kyaaaaah!!!”
The screaming attendants ran out of the hallway and were running away with their hands raised.
“Ugh, wow…! Ah, huh…!”
The identity of the woman rolling around on the ground was Minerva. As soon as she heard that there was a commotion in her imperial palace, she came running non-stop even this late evening, but even though her opponent was strong, she was too strong.
“Cough… Cough…”
“Lord Minerva! Are you okay!”
“Everyone… Step back! Unless you want to die!”
Minerva gestures to the knights running toward her and quickly gets up from her seat.
The being that appeared through the thick dust rising in the hallway raised the corners of its mouth and smiled.
“Ah~ It’s not fun, really. What is this? Is it only Aunt Minerva? Are there any other ladies?”
“Cough… Where on earth did that happen…”
Minerva clicked her tongue and quickly aimed the rapier in her hand at her opponent.
“I don’t know who you are, but please stop saying such profanity!”
“Ah, as expected of you, you didn’t like me~? Well, I knew you would! The lady’s flattery was so obvious that it was completely boring~”
Her snorting opponent waves his paws up and down in one tempo and then lunges at Minerva in an instant.
“But…! Isn’t she a fool?! She competed with me once, so she knows?! She can’t win!”
In order to block the woman who was swinging her bright red weapon with a black blade, Minerva pulled her body back and swung her Ray Fear.
However, it was meaningless. Even though the opponent was strong, he was too strong. She had just done something more reckless than hitting a rock with an egg.
─Kang!
“Ugh… That sword again…?!”
Minerva had a hunch after noticing that her weapon was broken by her opponent’s attack again.
Die. She must die. Minerva, sensing that there was no way to avoid the huge weapon being swung at her, widened her eyes.
‘What the hell is this girl…? How can such monstrous power…?’
She dies a year without even being able to solve the mystery. The moment Minerva thought that, she cried!!! She heard a strange clanging sound.
“Minerva! Step back!”
Woe! Minerva was grabbed by her shoulders and thrown behind her. Ceres was there, and Ceres very skillfully picked up Minerva’s body and placed it gently on the floor.
“I told you! This is right! This was the only way to go!”
“So, Arisa!! Isn’t this absolutely a good thing?!”
The princess, who was aiming the huge weapon held in her right hand at her opponent, exhaled her breath.
“I don’t know who you are, but go back! You will not find the knowledge and wisdom you seek here!!!”
The rising dust storm disappeared, and the figure that had swung the weapon at Minerva was finally revealed.
“… Oh?”
Our eyes met. Is it okay to express it that way? The moment she saw her opponent’s face, the princess couldn’t express her hostile feelings properly.
“Ah~ ah~”
The other person, who was letting out a happy voice, was first holding huge ‘scissors’ in both hands. The woman holding those scissors in her hands was not as tall as the princess, but she was tall.
The golden hair flowed beautifully, and the style was so good that it reminded me of Hedone and the princess.
“Abama~ You’re there as expected~ Look! Look! Look at this!!!”
“Eh, eh…?”
The other person smiled brightly as if he had just gone on a picnic and walked towards the princess.
Around her neck was a pocket watch identical to the princess’s. She smiled brightly as she held it in her hand and shook it, as if showing off.
“Daddy~ Look at this. Minos fixed it so beautifully~ But as soon as she fixed it, she came to see her dad right away?”
“M-Minos…?”
The princess, with her eyebrows trembling, takes a step behind her.
“Well, who on earth are you?”
“Oh… You don’t recognize Minos, Abama?”
Minos pointed at herself with her finger. The young lady who introduced herself smiled brightly.
“You’re daddy’s daughter, right?”
“Stop saying strange things…!”
The princess instinctively swung her weapon at Minos, who was approaching her.
─Kyaang!!!
The princess is startled by the strange sound of metal.
Geek, Geek, Geek…!
Minos easily blocked the sword the princess held in her hand with a huge pair of scissors, and she even smiled brightly.
“Do you understand now, Dad?”
“Well, I know that you are my daughter… Oh, I know…”
The princess swallows her saliva and steps behind her.
She put down her sword that was aimed at Minos. The princess thinks calmly.
“Yes, Minos! My beloved daughter! She knows very well that you have come here.”
Arisa, who was standing behind the princess’s words, laughed as if she was dumbfounded.
“You… I was surprised when you appeared, even though I hadn’t seen you born yet. But please understand.”
“Ugh, it’s okay. It’s okay! Minos loves her dad dearly!”
The princess smiled as she looked at Minos, whose eyes were sparkling.
“Uh, yes… I heard that there was a commotion in Ceres’ room because you suddenly appeared…”
Heum, the princess noticed Minerva. She was a sign that she had no sin.
“For what reason…”
Before the princess could finish her words, Minos showed a happy expression that had her whole world, and hugged the princess’s waist and nuzzled her face into her arms.
“Daddy…”
“… I don’t know why you came here, but if you have any worries or problems you want to solve, I’ll listen.”
Minos, feeling her pat and gentle hand stroking her waist, whispers in the princess’s ear with a happy expression.
“I came here to clean up the ladies who annoy my dad every day. I have to remove the weeds, bit by bit, so that the pretty flowers in the garden can grow well, right?”
