Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Nebula Kingdom 2/3
In a room with minimal lighting, there are three voices exchanging words. "Zeeta has already started the action, "toward a female-voiced silhouette. This silhouette had long hair with a ribbon.
"I knew. Isn't this thrilling?" ask another silhouette of the same sex. This woman has long hair.
"I don't care what you're going to do to her regardless of your relationship with that selfless Man!" exclaiming silhouette with a man's voice. "But make sure that he is pressured to make him want to destroy this world!
"This world .. shouldn't be in the hands of such a Man!"
"Hey hey...." The silhouette of the long haired woman spoke. "Don't forget that you're human, too.... Ah, I forgot.... You are an EX-human! Ahahaha!"
"Kkhkh.... Goddamnit!" it was like throwing magic at the woman.
"Ahahaha, stop stop stop. An ex-human like you whose consciousness is only based on dreams, and no longer even has a real body, will not be able to do anything to me or him!
"Remember, the reason we shake hands with you is simply because our purpose is unidirectional. But I need to emphasize. Even though our goals are unidirectional, it doesn't mean we have the same ending!
"With your power being able to control Phantasmal and turn him into a Hollow, it is proof that you are human from the ancient centuries. You are one of the humans who was once able to clean up the ancient runes, and live in a world with Giant, Dragon, Fairy, Yggdrasil, and others, and all the stories that have been told by those who are still alive today.
"So far we have followed your request, but do not be stubborn. You know what my powers are, don't you?"
"The boy doesn't know himself...!"
Speech from The Man ignites the emotion of The Woman is burning hot. "You're the one who needs to know yourself!" exclaim the woman, "look at your abilities that Zeeta has thwarted twice! He has even tracked you down!
"If you continue to act like a great pretender with thoughts like 'I was a human in the ancient ages, I'm stronger than you', I'll make sure our help is broken, then mourn your fate forever!"

"Yggdrasil's growing location, you say?!" Alicia surprised. The same reaction was also given by other nobles.
"I say it's just a possibility" Luna replied, "for sure, whether it's wrong or right, I don't think it's wrong for Zeeta to do anything else there."
"Hmmm.... Apart from Aurora's political relationship with Nebula which is only a neighboring kingdom," said Alicia, "Nebula is a new kingdom born from the union of two kingdoms, Gala and Southern Flare...."
"Ra-Queen, you know about that?!" Klutzie.
"Yes. The nineteenth queen once showed me a picture of your parents' wedding.
"Ah, so...."
"Klutzie, you may have noticed, but what Zeeta wants to do to you is indeed the Princess' personal wish. But I did plan to do something about Nebula.
"Based on your story at the time, from any point of view, there is a mastermind behind all this. Whether Suzy or not, I'm sure danger is waiting for you there. That's why, I can't let the two nobles of the royal family leave without bodyguards. Take the Crescent Void with you, after that, as Queen I can allow you to leave officially."
Zeeta seemed to dissolve in his mind. Moments later, he said what was inside his head. "No, Queen. I think they should stay here."
"Oh?"
"As you said, judging from any point of view, there is a mastermind still hiding. If the Crescent Void went with me, Aurora's defense would decrease drastically.
"It doesn't mean that I don't believe in the main nobles and magic creatures that are here, but the Crescent Void is undoubtedly the foremost stronghold of this kingdom of Hollows.
"I hope you can still let us go, because we've been with the two Spirits of Yggdrasil."
After weighing a lot of things, Alicia decided on "Your mother. In that case, Marchioness, immediately prepare the vehicle for—"
"Ah, no need. We already have it."
"Eh?" Klutzie did not understand what Zeeta was saying.

After the participants of the meeting came out of the throne room, Zeeta who came out later immediately pulled Klutzie behind a pillar to speak for four eyes.
"How long can you maintain your joining form with Siren?" ask Zeeta whispering.
Zeeta was silent and again dissolved in his mind. "No, I'll say it later. I went to the Grand Duchess's residence first. Wait for me in the town square!" Zeeta immediately ran away from Klutzie who was still asked.

Ashley returns to her home with Zeeta. They rushed towards Ashley's study to do something. As soon as they arrived, Zeeta immediately took out many empty jars that would later be filled with magic grains.
"What?! Lucy was there?!" peekik Ashley shocked.
"Shhhhh!! No yelling!
"Please, Master, there's a chance he's waiting for this opportunity to do something to me.
"But this is not yet the deadline he gave me. Even though he was there, he might have other plans behind his pocket.
"Thinking from how her habits are, she is a cunning woman, but that doesn't mean that cunning is insurmountable.
"I met Morgan last night who was Arthur's father. He warned me not to come because there was someone he said was impossible for me and the Prince to defeat."
"Huh-huh?! Why is something this important you just told me to—"
"Let me talk until it's over, Master!
"To be honest I don't really want the power to be able to read the minds of others that are hard to control, but.... Morgan doesn't want to fool us anymore.
"His lips are still trash as usual, but he may have learned from his life.
"I can't bring my friends into danger that I don't even know about. Lucy is in this situation. He's luring us to weaken Aurora."
"But...what's the purpose of doing this?"
Zeeta stopped filling her jars with her beads of color magic. "Did Master not know Lucy's past...?"
"N-no...."
"But Master knows who Lucy is...?"
"Y-yes, she is your ancestor, Marianna Aurora...."
"W-did Alexandrita's ancestors not tell you about Marianna...?"
"I don't know, but as far as I can tell, there's no such thing as an inheritance record that tells a story about him or a hereditary story."
"Gu... Teacher lied, didn't he?"
"W-what do you mean? Why are you putting your face on...?"
"Ughs.... I can't believe this. What can I do, listen carefully, Master...."
......................
After telling a flashback about Lucy, Ashley comes to understand why Zeeta puts on a face that indirectly depicts her inexhaustible heartwarming why she doesn't know about that important history. He also understands why Lucy lured Zeeta and Klutzie to Nebula. He could have wanted something on the palace's basement, the place where Lucy—a.k.a Marianna— brings together Elves and Humans. The underground floors had not even been thoroughly explored because he and Zeeta had not had a chance.
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything that important" Ashley said.
"It's okay. After all, this was rarely known even to nobles. I think that, since Lucy, Audrey, and Erina were in the same age, the two Alexandritas told their descendants about the bitterness...."
"Alright, then, what am I supposed to do with this much magic jar?"
Zeeta had completed his plan on the magic jar, which was round twenty pieces.
"The way it works is the same as what you used to do or mom did. Throw, sow, or pour. Of these twenty jars, they are all the ultimate magic to bind, destroy, or hint at what to do to crush a Hollow.
"Crescent Void will probably be preoccupied with other problems, so use this for you or your soldiers. Each jar is enough to be used on three to four Hollows.
"Teachers may not need it, but it never hurts to have a back-up plan if the worst-case scenario happens."
"Worst case scenario...? What do you mean...?"
"Well... Teachers know, it is.... That's when me and the Prince couldn't beat that guy, and couldn't go home...."
