Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Accept What It Is and Love It
Hitomi Reiko was in the kingdom of Orsfangr when Arata was being preoccupied with imperial affairs and its privacy relations. "Tsk, that damn girl...!" hitomi, who is crossing hands. He uses long-range magic to talk to Riruko. He was also in the palace courtyard, waiting for the presence of someone important.
"If you're worried about that with your brother...." Xennaville. "Why did you leave him alone? You're the Princess who's more inclined to jump into action than sneaking around like this, Hitomi."
"And you also know that I've hated him ever since he talked bad things about the brother behind him. Even then he was a little boy! His mouth was completely unguarded, even though he was one of the important people's children in the empire!
"Well, even though his family had perished because of yesterday's events, anyway."
Xennaville glanced in silence at Hitomi's eyes.
"What's? You have a problem with my way of thinking or saying?"
"No. I just thought that you really loved your sister, yeah, Hitomi."
Hitomi frowned and looked straight at her Yggdrasil Spirit. "You've been monitoring and accepting me as your container long enough, Xennaville. Of course I love him. I won't let you get hurt by anyone anymore."
"Haw...." Xennaville took a deep breath. "When not so long ago you deliberately hostile the world for the sake of your ambition, but now you're soft. Is this because the stars have shown you something?"
Hitomi turned her body, then closed her eyes. "What I'm doing is a child's game compared to that girl, Xennaville. Somehow, Ragnarok must be won by Zeeta.
"I hope Orsfangr and Undine will help us."
"Of course we'll help, Princess Hitomi Reiko." A voice came from behind the two. She was the First Princess of Orsfangr Underwater Kingdom, Sugar Vazquez Orsfangr.
"Sugar Princess!" Hitomi welcomes Sugar by approaching her. "Pardon our sudden arrival and wreak havoc on the ocean. It seems that the sea monsters cannot accept my evil mana."
"What can I do. Because you're the one who planned to take the Soul Stone, right?"
"Uhm. What can I do, what else my plan is known to the Dragon Carlou and my father."
"Then, understand my father and brother's reluctance to look you in the eye, yes, Princess Hitomi." They shake hands, but Sugar deliberately grips him harder and harder.
Hitomi puts on a forced smile, understanding that this noble family is vengeful towards her.
Suddenly....
'JENRY!!'
The ocean rumbled, shaking its contents. Sugar and Hitomi also lost their balance.
"I understand how you feel, but we don't have time to think about some sort of grudge, Sugar Vazquez Orsfangr."
Hearing that voice, Sugar immediately shuddered in horror. He then turned his body to the source of the voice and immediately prostrated. "Ma.. forgive my boldness, Undine Ancient Spirit!"
Hitomi also bowed half her body.
Undine lifted the trident she was wearing to reprimand the two creatures who were about to fight. "Your. Well then, let's just leave Juggernaut and Marshall. As we wait for Cynthia who is uniting the voices of the sea monsters, say, Star Witch, what have you seen with the power of your prophecy to mention your deeds all this time, what took away many souls not only on land, but also the ocean, was just a 'kids' game'?"
Sugar frowned at hearing that. Then, with nothing to hide, Hitomi told her what she saw.

[In the meantime, at the same time.].
"At the end of the day we're alone, yeah, Riruko."
Riruko ignored Arata. He did not want the man he had hurt to see how fallen and regretful he was. His face was not worn, not only because of the crying that caused the swelling, but also the nasal water that he could not stop.
Even so, Arata did not care about it. He forced Riruko's face to return her gaze. He rubbed a cry on the cheek with both thumbs. Seeing Arata's face only inches with her and feeling the man's hands directly on her cheeks, Riruko blushed to her ears. At that time, instead of feeling disgusted or anything with the situation of the girl in front of him, Arata actually smiled while saying, "Since childhood, I have always loved you, Riruko!"
Riruko's red hue spread all over her face.
"I always see you from a distance. I know you always talk bad things about me and not that I feel painless seeing and hearing that people I love say that.
"I always thought, 'what's my fault with you until you're like this to me?'
"I didn't have any friends all this time, so I couldn't figure out what exactly I wanted. I was hurt by you, but I don't want to take you off. I have a promise to you and I want to make it happen before anyone else precedes me."
Riruko's dark blue eyes sparkled.
"I know you've always fought for your family. To realize the hope of your father, who wants to continue to be on the side of the emperor. Whatever you do, even if it makes you hate a lot of people. What else ... I've seen you, alone under the cherry tree, saying...."
Arata sat next to Riruko.
"'What's wrong with me? Since when have I been this bad guy? Is this because of my father's wishes, so I often can't keep my speech?
"But ... in this way, with me realizing my father's desire to become a geisha, I can be near Arata.'"
Riruko stared at the ground. She's ashamed. "Ka... if it's near me, why don't you greet me...?"
"'Grs! Still, why is that monster still alive, anyway? This was already the thirty-fifth trial! Ih, what a disgust!'
"Where might I approach you after saying that, right?"
Riruko immediately curled up. "Please punish me, Arata."
Arata meets the listless-faced Riruko. Her crying had stopped and she had already wiped the water on her nose.
"I was very happy with all your confession just now, but I also realized I had no right to accept any more of it. I've hurt you, all these years."
Arata. He recalled that his sister mentioned something about why Riruko always did this. Then, he immediately concluded a grin on his face.
Arata pulls Riruko's chin forcibly, then kisses her interlocutor's lips. Of course, it poked blood up on the girl, also forcing her to glare.
"Be my queen and love me wholeheartedly without vilifying myself anymore, Riruko! That is my punishment to you!"
"Pe-pe-pe-pe-embarrasser...?!" Riruko made sure her ears did not hear wrong. "Ke... why suddenly... a-I told you that I'm—"
"Didn't you love me?"
Riruko clenched her hands. "Te.. Of course, you fool!"
"Eh?" Arata sculpted when suddenly Riruko stood up.
"I always thought you were gone from my life forever and must have forgotten all about our relationship, let alone that promise!
"I said something bad behind your back so you could get mad at me and say something to me! I wanted to make sure if you had completely forgotten me or not, but in the process, I had already said too many bad things about you!
"I really don't deserve to have you anymore, Arata Akihiro!
"But!
"But listen to me!
"If I am like this, I love you too, Arata!
"Can you imagine how happy I am now?!
"To be your dream woman, I made sure I could change all my treatment and be able to deserve to stand next to you!
"However, as far as you know, Arata!"
"L-yes...?" Arata smiled broadly.
'CUPS!'
Riruko immediately kissed Arata's lips, even longer.
"I'm not letting you go!" even with a face as red as a tomato, Riruko plowed herself to say that.
Arata then gently holds Riruko's cheek. "I love you, Riruko." He smiled as he stroked his cheek with his thumb.
"I love you too, Arata!!" Riruko clenched tightly to the white-haired and red-eyed man. "Very much love you! Thank you for accepting this imperfect me!"
Arata replied to Riruko's response, saying, "Thank you for accepting a monster like me, Riruko...."
