Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Sacrifice Is Not Always Bad
The moon is adorning the night today. Accompanied by millions of stars and gentle singing from the air, a man who had recently expressed his love for the idol was pensive in his mind. He feels Luna has a point and should not they—nearest friend Zeeta—consider Luna's speech lightly.
Danny realized that Zeeta's words before he went to talk to the nobles, raising an invisible farewell flag. In retrospect, this is not the first time Zeeta has been like this. He felt like he wanted to get away from the one he loved and sacrifice himself so they could keep smiling. That is what happiness means to him.
Yet....
Danny can't stay quiet. The girl has not answered her feelings! If the girl was indeed about to intend to leave this magical world, then—!

Danny runs after Luna who is about to return to Zeeta's side, and luck is on his side. Without further ado, the man who became strong for the sake of someone he loved then asked, "Is there a way for me to save Zeeta?!"
Luna who had been wide-eyed, slowly smiled. "Basic ... Humans are very difficult to understand. But that's the good side of you! Of course there is and this is not something that you—"
"I. Want to. Zeetas. Blissfully.
"This final battle will determine everything, won't it? Then, if he did intend to end it all with his own life, I would be selfish and push him back here."
Seeing the seriousness of this man, immediately made Luna convinced. "alright. Take out your holy weapons."

The next morning, Zeeta, who was already on good-bye with her family, departed quietly for Grandtopia. He was picked up by Aria and immediately resumed yesterday's pending talks. No one bothered them—because he, Zeeta, and Ozy— were in the cave where the Giant was moving his soul to his current Human body. The concept of time here is much slower than outside—after Ozy wrote Rune Dagaz. It is also the only place separated from the roots of the Chronos tree, so neither Reina nor Hugo could peek at them.
"So?" aria asked as she left her waist, "what, the hell, exactly do you want to ask?"
"It may not be important, but... Ozy...why are you alone on this Earth a stone mossy Giant, while the other Giant is similar to Humans?"
"Ah." Aria seemed to have just realized it. He then glanced at Ozy.
"I've seen a lot of history from my ancestors. Does this have anything to do with you and Jeanne who are giants on the side of Humans?"
"No, it's just part of the plan" Ozy replied, "the plan of Jeanne, to be precise."
"Plan?" Aria and Zeeta are both curious.
"You know that Yggdrasil has been clairvoyant about you, right?" Ozy glanced at Zeeta and immediately answered with a nod. "Yggdrasil had exposed it to all the creatures that were on Earth at that time and almost all the Giants really wanted to exterminate the Humans back then.
"That's it, the first Ragnarok.
"Jeanne and I are part of Aesir's group of mistresses, whose role is to guide you or if it is impossible, we will kill you with Rune. No matter how powerful your magic is, humans won't be able to use runes. But look now, ha ha ha!"
Zeeta smiled a little. "Who is this lady of Aesir? Does he have anything to do with Jormungand?"
"Yes and no." Ozy then elaborated on the division of territory based on the "Seasons" of the Giants.
"Hey hey...." Aria clutches Ozy's wrist. "Why didn't you tell us earlier?! Yes, maybe Aesir is your leader and powerful, but this is GALDURHEIM, you know!
"Is our battle with them worth it?!"
Zeeta seems to think hard, until finally getting an idea. "Jormungand I'll beat it." He said it with confidence.
"HUH?!?!?!" Aria sewot's. "ARE YOU CRAZY?! You have a more important role than—"
"Marianna and my other ancestors promised to help me."
Zeeta's speech was then responded to gasp by two of his magical creature colleagues.
"What I'm more worried about is not the Giant or the Dragon army. I'm sure you guys can handle them, even more so we have an additional ally from the bottom of the sea, right?
"What I'm worried about is the other me. He called himself able to write twenty-four runes. I know best how dangerous this strong me is to wear runes."
"Bas stupid." Ozy looked down on his student.
"O-Ozy?!" Aria was shocked by his clumsiness.
"You still have something stronger than Rune and I know it best! After all, the ring was not a mere decoration!"
Zeeta. "Aahaha! Really, I'm a fool!
"Once again I was afraid of myself. Maa—"
"There's nothing wrong with being afraid of you" Ozy said.
"Eh?"
"The other you have betrayed the trust of his precious friends, have thrown away his humanity, and thrown away everything. I understand why you're scared.
"However....
"Since long ago, you've always had the courage that no one else has - to sacrifice yourself for the happiness of another.
"Not every time it is a negative side of you, but it is also able to bring you to this point, right?
"To see your mother and father, for the safety and smiles of your friends, for the people, and for the world.
"I have some ideas about what you're going to do in your battle, but I believe you can win against it!"
Zeeta soon had tears. He hugged his teacher, saying, "Thank you, Ozy, really!"
Aria did not want to be left behind in this sweet moment, so she decided to change her form into her High Elf form, then embraced Zeeta. "We will win, no matter what!"
Zeeta, who felt a faintness from her left arm, felt strange. He knows what the chewy taste that touches his skin comes from, but if so, who...? Aria's? But, Aria, right....
Zeeta then opened her eyes wide and immediately screamed loudly so shocked she with the figure of Aria at this time. "A-a-ada perverted woman—"
"Who are you calling perverted?!" Aria immediately hit Zeeta on the head before she could finish her sentence.
"Ehhh?! W-what-what the fuck...?! I just found out!"
"Huhum...." Aria poses all sorts of things. "How do you feel? This is my true form, you know. Ouch, right?"
"uhm!" Zeeta nodded steadily. "It's worth Ozy liking you, you look mesu— too"
Aria blushed as red as a tomato and immediately screamed, "Zeetaaaaaaa!!!"
Ozy who became a spectator could only smile at this "peaceful" scene.
"Hehehe...." Zeeta tidied up her dusty clothes after being hit by the ground after Aria's previous blow. "I will visit Titania with Brother Serina and thank her."
"Alright," Ozy replied, "but not for too long. You still have to meet the Ancient Spirit first."
"Just calm! I didn't forget about that.
"Ozy, Aria, I'm so grateful to have you by my side! I wish we could always be together!" Zeeta says it while walking backwards to get out while waving a hand.
Ozy and Aria reply with, "Yes!" simultaneously, and also the same wave. They also smile.
"I will definitely win this, Ozy," muttered Aria.
"Let's get a meeting with the other Elves. Even if we can convince him, I don't know if we can actually stop the Giant and Dragon army."
"We also have to take Elbrecht and Myra."
"You're right. The world can't be borne alone by him, we have to help him!"
"Uhm!"
