Dusk was about to complete its task today after a day of shining on the Earth and replacing itself with the moon.
“Thank you for the hard work!” shouting many people at the same time, who raised each other's drinks. Some are alcoholic, some are not. Of the many people, there are Gerda, Serina, Titania, and the young people who previously worked on “project to rebuild the village”.
In that place—new houses that have been created with magic—they are celebrating the success of the project. This house was designed by the village youth as a shop.
“Yahh, I didn't think everything would go this fast!” after Gerda said it, she drank her ale. “Pwaaahh! Favors!”
“Are you okay, brother? Your previous body was very pale, you know.” asked Titania worried.
“Ah, uh. My mana has started to fill up again. Sorry for worrying you.” Gerda ruffled Titania's hair.
“Alright, then I'm back with my friends first. Drugs, Brother Gerda!” Titania waved her hand.
“Dadaah~” Gerda also returned a wave of her hand, along with a smile.
Moments later, Reid approached Gerda. “One more time I say thank you, Miss. Not only have you saved this village, you have even done this all for us.”
“Thank you to Serina. My mana is hardly enough, different from his. Most jobs that require a large mana, are done by him.”
Reid smiles. “I'll do. Enjoy your drink.”
“Ouu!” Gerda smiled broadly. Reid also lifted his leg from before him. When she wanted to take another sip of her alcohol, Reina made a telepath with her.
Reid thanked Serina. The second of the three Volten Sisters sisters, Reid replied with a smile. He also said, “I'm just helping Gerda. To be honest, I'm still skeptical of you guys, even today.
“But, seeing that you are all in each other's trusses and not letting Gerda do it all, that's reason enough for me to help you.
“Changing the river flow to flow into your village, making irrigation channels, adding houses, also making plantations. For a Gerda, it is not an easy task to do for one day only, because cleaning is not as easy as imagined.
“I was also quite surprised by the two Elves who since yesterday seemed mute, helped us.”
Reid was silent for a moment. “May I sit next to you, Miss Elf?”
Serina smiled. “Of course. I allow you to call my name, Reid.”
“Thank you very much.” Reid then sat down. “If you can be honest, Miss. until you come to save us, I think we're done. I don't mind, but at the same time I can't take it.
“There are many things that are a mystery to me, about aunt Jeanne, and other things. If we finish that day, either my soul can calm down or not.
“But, after hearing all the information this morning, we also had no idea that the world was actually being threatened by a war of magic.
“We are very grateful you are willing to do this all for us, but ... we who can not clean, and if in times of urgency can only rely on Tanny .....” Reid clutched his hand.
Serina who looked at the face of her interlocutor, gulped her renjie juice first. “If that magic war really happened, then go to the Elf Forest. It's northwest of here. Take this with you, if the Elves there doubt you.” Serina took out a jade-like stone whose middle had been eroded— turning it into a wheel. The stone is black.
“What is this..?”
“Take this as my trust in you. If you show them this, I'm sure they'll let you in. Of course, explain your situation to them.”
A cry was about to trickle down from Reid.
“Hey, hey, come on, don't cry just because of this!”
“So-soalanya... you guys really ... what can we do to be able to reply you guys...? We don't have anything..!”
Serina smiled. “Live.”
“Eh?”
“You can repay us by continuing to live and not wasting our efforts wasted due to your death. You understand?”
A smile immediately fell on Reid's face. “Good, Miss Serina!”
But, not long after, the two of them heard Gerda's scream. “What did you say?! Zeeta ... in the Land of Death?!”
Serina dropped the cup—makes it break immediately. His gaze was also empty suddenly, the entire store was instantly silent.
[In the meantime, in the Seiryuu Empire.].
The Dark Lord is following Asteria—The Star Witch—after being stopped to attack Carlou.
“If all I hear from you is nonsense,” said the Dark Lord, “I will kill you soon.”
Asteria smiled wryly. “Come on, you told me and my brother to kill Zeeta, but you who are impatient, want to kill me?”
“I can eliminate that naive girl easily, without convoluted like you!”
“More important than that..” Asteria diverted the conversation. “Should I tell you, the words of the stars are only a possibility. At least that, only time will tell. But, based on my experience since being born in this world, stars never miss.
“He will always slide straight, at one point of possibility that you want to read.
“But in this case, the star saw your destiny, and told me to convey it to you.”
The two arrived at a traditional eastern room with tatami floors.
“Oh star, let me see his destiny, and convey it as you wish,” Asteria said, as she chanted.
Shortly thereafter, the room suddenly, from under the feet of Asteria, changed dimensions—bringing the two down to billions of stars. They stood on the water reflecting their shadows. Asteria realized at that time, the Dark Lord had no shadow, but the water only reflected a puff of black smoke, which made her frown for a moment.
“Then what? Am I just told to be quiet without doing what—“
“Please wait,” exchange Asteria, “and look ahead.”
Following Asteria's words, the Judge looked ahead. Later then....
“What the fuck?! A joke?!”
“Remember what I've said, stars always straight glide at what you want to read.”
“I thought, I should kill that kid right away!
“Keep me out of here!”
The Star Witch fell silent.
“You didn't hear me? Get me out of here!”
“Zeeta.” The Darkness Ruler gasped as she called it that way. “I do not understand and do not want to know what you have experienced in your world, but....
“Until the end of your life, your existence is always denied, huh?”
Asteria gave a grin at the end of her speech.
Of course it triggers high emotions in the interlocutor. “YOU THINK YOU CAN MESS WITH ME?” a purplish black aura burst out from his body. Just because of that alone, the dimension they were in right now, immediately cracked, and broke.
Asteria could only be dumbstruck, unable to believe what she saw.
“Since my arrival here, I have always been serious about what I want to achieve. If you as my tool don't work well, then it's only natural that I fix you, right?”
“Oh shit...”.
At the same time... Arata, who is in a dojo, feels his younger brother Ki reduced drastically, but suddenly rises again. He who was training, immediately finished it and ran towards his sister.
Arata ran from hallway to hallway, right towards Ki his sister came from. His run was also not as fast as an ordinary human, but so fast, as if he was flying above the ground.
“HITOMI!” yelling Arata, while sliding the door in the room where Ki his sister felt. He soon grew up as soon as he saw her. “You...? Zeeta Aurora...?! What did you do to my sister?!”
The ruler of Darkness smiled widely and horribly. “You hate what I've done, don't you?
“Then come with me and I will return your sister as usual.”
“What ... have you done to Hitomi?! Answer me!!”
“I just made him unable to refuse my request. Your sister is a witch who can control the stars, ‘ right? If you refuse my request, I can destroy this empire with the destructiveness of its power.”
“You...! How dare you...! Didn't you yourself say you wouldn't knock on our door, so you wouldn't bother us?!”
The Dark Lord smiled more and more.
“Therefore you must obey me, Cursed Crown Prince.
“Kkhhh...!” Arata gripped his two hands until his palm was bleeding.
But then....
“Do not have to do that, Mr. Arata.” A classic waiter—opposed to his space model—approached the two of them with his leisure.
“You...? My sister's servant, Xennaville.?”
“That man is not the Zeeta you saw in Aurora. He had decayed into his heart, and there was no need to be saved. That man only brings destruction, wherever he goes.
“Please go from here and release Nonaku, Zeeta.”
“You think a Yggdrasil Spirit like you can command me?! Kneel, dammit!”
‘Fwiii... BWOAAM!’
Xennaville was forced to kiss Land— just as he did Carlou, to his surprise.
“You have no right at all to reject me. Do as I tell you, you'll be safe!
“Arata. Aurora will soon be attacked, follow that line.”
“A-what?! Emperor Zero had never issued any orders like that!”
“Who said it was from Seiryuu? They are a part of the past, who hates Aurora. Don't have much to say, just look at yourself with your cleverness. Remember what I hold here with you. If you're not serious either, just like your sister..”.
“Cih!” Arata had to do it. He immediately lifted his foot from there.
“How can, a human like you ... be able to have this much power..?!”.
“For what did I expose all that to you?!”
‘DHUUAAAMM!’
Xennaville was thrown backwards at a great distance.
“Zeeta Zeeta Zeeta...!” The Ruler of Darkness gripped his own face with his left hand. “I won't let you live!”
“Who are you talking to ... Gerda..?” asked Serina, who was trembling. “What do you mean Zeeta is in the Land of Death?!”
“Sst!” Gerda told Serina to shut up first, then covered her ears. “Uhm. Uhm. Alright.... Really-really?!
“But, I still can't leave this village!
“....
“Good. I'll tell Serina. Thank you for telling me, Reina.”
Gerda's frantic and sweaty gaze, turning the fun show at the tavern shattered instantly.
“Kak Gerda...? You're okay..?” Titania's worried.
“Serina, we have to talk. Both.” Though not intending, Gerda ignored Titania, also making her even more anxious.
“Good!”
Looking in silence at the departure of the two, Reidpun muttered. “It seems like this is not the time to have fun....
“All! Pack your important things immediately! We'll evacuate!”
“Eh? What do you mean?” ask one young man, “weren't we just finishing his village?”
“I understand that, but just follow me until we get to his camp. Hurry up. We are overwhelmed by time. Women, help the children.”
Everything was immediately serious-faced and then immediately executed Reid's orders.
In the tomb area, Gerda told all that Reina had told Serina. About the condition of Zeeta, members Mintia, Jourgan, and Aurora who will soon be attacked by Hollow troops.
“I can't leave this village. Seiryuu will definitely be back and you know that too. Therefore, you alone used to return to Aurora. Your powers are more useful than mine.” Gerda explained at length.
“You are alone, facing those who definitely have the power of Dragons?! Do you want to die?!”
“Of course not. My brother is also being cornered, as his current opponent is the Former Seed Yggdrasil five hundred years ago. How can someone seem to win?
“But it won't stop me. I've decided to protect and save this village. This is already part of my responsibility.”
“If you're worried about them, I've told Reid to go to the Elf Forest to evacuate. You don't need—“
“This is their home. Please, Serina. I'm sure you understand my reasons. Your powers are more useful against Hollows who are there with Lloyd and Mintia.”
Suddenly, they saw the moon that when they came out was blue, the mighty light was blocked by the letters of the giant Perthro Rune.
Serina has a serious face. “Ppromise me! Even if you lose a limb, stay alive!”
Gerda smile. “Thank you. Now, go!”
After that Serina teleported. Shortly after his departure....
‘BWAAMMM!’
The ground around the village courtyard was like an explosion.
“Have arrived, huh? Alright... time to get serious!”
