Yggdrasil is said to be a tree of world life that gives mana to all creatures on land. Whichever is necessary as one of the catalysts to manifest magic other than imagination, is already misunderstood by Humans where the source comes from.
A long time ago, Yggdrasil was guarded by many magical creatures such as Elves, Giants, and Dragons. Humans, wanting something from Yggdrasil thus causing a war between them and the magical creatures. To finish the war, Yggdrasil intervened on his own, "destroying" his body into fragments of Spirit into all layers of the world.
There are still many things that Humans do not know about the magical world they live in. For example, if Yggdrasil ever existed, why do so few of them know its history? Why didn't the Elves who lived close to them say anything about Yggdrasil? Actually what causes the moon earrings belonging to the royal family can bring the owner to see the history? Then, most importantly, if what Scarlet said about Zeeta would revive Yggdrasil, would it have anything to do with Queen Feline's prophecy saying Zeeta would destroy the world?
Will resurrecting Yggdrasil destroy the world itself, even though Yggdrasil is the tree of world life? Besides... will Zeeta really do it?
......................
Currently, Zeeta is being the center of the eyes of various people. Be it the innkeeper Neko's Inn as well as his employees, his twin cousin Gerda, and the customers. His long-sleeved shirt he folds up to the top of his elbow, he also wears an apron made from his magic.
In the presence of the current Zeeta, there are ingredients such as garlic, honey, two layers of beef, lettuce, rosemary, pepper, and various other spices. He will make the main food typical A n' Z, Roasted Honey Beef, ala Zeeta Aurora XXI.
"Zeez... Zeeta...?" call Gerda. He was made anxious after seeing the ingredients that Zeeta had prepared.
"Hmm? What's?" Zeeta started to turn on the stove.
"Do you believe you can do it yourself?"
"Yes, why?" Zeeta puts her magic in various places, such as beef and onions. Both are based on their magic. After the garlic is sliced thinly, the piece of onion drifts and goes into a frying pan that has been given cooking oil to saute with other spices, such as, the beef is sliced slightly to make room for the seasoning to soak in later.
"Since when?! When you make cookies, you need my help!"
"Ehehehe, of course you don't know, I'll always practice! Don't be surprised if I'm good, yeah!" with a confident smile, Zeeta continued cooking.
Like Zeeta when she saw Arthur cooking with his magic, Edward and Ella's eyes sparkled. They felt the prowess that kept coming out from Zeeta.
"It smells good!" hatch Ella.
All the customers there were also bewitched by the fragrant smell that invited their hunger.
"Hey, Brother Zeeta?" call Ella.
"What's up?" zeeta replied, smearing honey on beef that had been sauteed for a while with onions and other spices.
"Why is meat added to honey?"
"Oh? You curious?" After coating his flesh with honey, he bewitched the meat—with magic grains sown like salt, then roasted it.
Ella nodded many times while accompanied by her eyes that continued to sparkle.
"You better feel it for yourself, please,
"Ah, your name if not wrong... Ed and Ell?" ask Zeeta. They don't really know their names yet.
"Uhm, she's Ella" Edward replied as he pointed to his sister.
"And he's Edward" Ella replied, pointing to her brother.
"Well, then, wait with other customers. Ten minutes to eat is ready!"
"Baiiikk." They walked to an empty table.
......................
Then, after ten minutes the meat was roasted....
"Ta-dahh!" Zeeta serves her cooking.
At the table, serve two dishes with each a hot beef covered with honey and accompanied by two sheets of lettuce, and two layers of bread.
"Waaaahhh, looks good!" edward and Ella.
All the customers who saw it also again gulped. They could not bear the pleasant smell that kept leaking from his flesh.
"You can just eat it or make it like a sandwich, I recommend that you just taste it first, then eat it with a sandwich set."
Following Zeeta's recommendation, Edward and Ella cut off a small portion of his flesh. When they sliced it, they were surprised by how tender the meat was. "Good meal!" said Edward and Ella at the same time, then ate it.
Just one chew, they're wide-eyed. Can not stand the taste, they speed up the chew, then swallow it with great pleasure.
"Aaahh... Why is this so good...?" both are completely subdued by Zeeta's cooking.
With her smug smile, Zeeta explained the reason her cooking could be that delicious. "Huhuumm, of course it's delicious! Honey is useful to remove all the fat in the meat, make it softer, and intensify the enjoyment of spices that I use. Not only that, the honey was also useful as a sauce to accompany the savory taste of the meat!"
"Well, I know honey is beneficial, but I didn't know I could make it to the cooking stage like this!" said one customer.
"Well, Ed, Ella, now eat that with the bread!"
Impatient with the taste that was about to explode in their mouths, Edward and Ella immediately agreed with Zeeta's orders. After chewing it, they swerved back.
"Sweet and soft.." said Ella.
"Sweeping and crunchy.," said Edward.
"I want to finish it!" they say it at the same time.
"Uhm. Of course it's like that. If made like a sandwich, the honey that coats the meat is sucked into the bread, and the savory taste of the meat will settle, while the honey I apply after the meat is sauteed will be the essence of delicacy.
"In this way, your hunger will just fly away!" Zeeta throws her sweet smile.
"Waahh, the Princess is so great! I want to try it now!" customer A says.
"Me too!" yell customer B while raising hand.
"I'm also impatient!" then followed by another customer who is one vote with customers A and B.
"Zeeta.... When did she get this good at cooking? Is this also Uncle Arthur's recipe?" inner Gerda who looks deeply into Zeeta's cooking.
"Hmm? What's up, Gerda? Are you hungry too?" ask Zeeta. He noticed Gerda's gaze.
"Ti-ti-no! Mana mung—" Gerda's speech was interrupted by a familiar sound.
'Kruyuuukkk'
Gerda's starving stomach can not be invited to one with his words just now. The stomach prefers the pleasure of no two than selling expensive.
"Aahaha! Get Danny in here soon, we'll party!" exciting Zeeta.
Feeling no other choice while blushing red as a tomato, Gerda called her brother with great force.
Seeing that Gerda had gone upstairs, Zeeta called the innkeeper. "Ah, Master Owner!"
The innkeeper approached Zeeta and bowed his body slightly, then asked, "Yes, Your Majesty?"
"Because I told you I was going to party, the bill left it to me."
"A-are you sure, Your Majesty, without the Grand Duchess' approval?"
"Of course not good! I'll be angry!"
"Then...."
"I want to see everything in this kingdom smile. If only scolded for without permission to use money, it's just a pebble."
The owner smiled, he felt the sincerity of his Master Daughter. "Good!"
"Ah, since I need manpower and materials, please prepare immediately!"
"By pleasure, Your Majesty!"
......................
The atmosphere of Neko's Inn was so lively. While Recko and Grilda's nostrils have not been seen since Zeeta arrived, the customers who were staying there, seemed to be overjoyed by the "immediate way: the Princess's special cuisine!" that's.
As Edward and Ella are engrossed in the delicacy of a sandwich they've never tasted before, Zeeta helps the cooks, accompanied by Danny and Gerda.
Zeeta, who saw Marcus standing in a corner at the kitchen door, immediately approached him.
"Oh, Marcus! It seems that teacher Ashley already knows what I'm doing?" ask Zeeta. He smiled as if he had no faults.
"Let's go back, Your Majesty. Why do you have to do this all here, whereas in the Alexandrita residence, everything can be arranged?" ask Marcus.
"Ah, it's because of me and them...." Zeeta points to her twin cousin. "Don't know where Alexandrita's kitchen is and they're also having a fight with Mr. Lowen Levant, their father."
"Geeh?! Master and Young Miss of the Levant?!" Marcus recognized the faces of the children.
"Oh you know them?"
"Yes, I know."
Zeeta flips her body for a moment into the kitchen to tell her something, "ah, I leave it to you guys, yeah. You guys know how, right?" Zeeta leaves the kitchen, followed by Marcus.
"Ah, fine, Your Majesty! Thanks for the help!" exclaim the officers.
Different from the employees who thanked from the heart, Danny deeply regretted the departure of Zeeta. He did not accept the precious time spent with Zeeta just vanished. While Gerda, for the umpteenth time she had to feel annoyed at her brother, just because she did not like what Danny said when discussing Zeeta. A swelling in the head landed on Danny's head.
"Ouch! I'm your brother, you know!" scream Danny.
"No matter! Blame yourself for pissing me off!" reply Gerda.
......................
Zeeta and Marcus pick up a table, after a pair of customers give them a table after being sensitive to Zeeta is about to discuss something with an Alexandrita-spirited soldier.
After sitting down, Zeeta removes her apron and cleans some parts of her clothes affected by oil splashes and others, and tidies her disheveled hair after moving around, both when cooking for her twin cousins, or when he helps the innkeepers.
"I've often seen the Levant visit the Grand Duchess, before you come from the Southern Region."
"Oh.. that's it." Zeeta smile.
"Sir Zee!" Edward and Ella show off when they finish their sandwich and wave.
Zeeta returns the wave of their hand, while Marcus looks inside the Zeeta before him.
"I'm sorry for my guts, Your Majesty, but I don't think you look like an eight-year-old" Marcus said.
"Eh?" Zeeta turns her head to Marcus.
"You and your cousins are only two years different, yet you don't look the same age as them at all. If I'm to be honest, Your Majesty, you can, you know, be as innocent as they are."
"Lugu, yes...?" Zeeta recalled everything she had been through up to this second. "You know, Marcus? I am a very good boy, you know. I'm a coward too. I'm just like them. But, at the same time, I am also different.
"I was born as a Princess. I was born with the name Aurora XXI. I was also born with great magic. Does Marcus know how scared I am if I fail to do my duty and get everyone hurt by my magic?"
Marcus mute.
"I want to go back to a time where I only played with my friends and family in the village of Lazuli. But, if I do, I will make mom and a lot of people sad....
"I didn't want that to happen, so I decided to keep trying to be a good Princess and make everyone in the country smile.
"Here I am. This is Zeeta Aurora XXI. Does it incriminate you to accept it ... Marcus?"
Marcus speaks a thousand languages. The answer from Zeeta was completely unexpected by him. He would, in the least, hear such words from the eight-year-old Princess.
However, the Princess had suddenly fallen down from the chair along with a gasping breath and a deathly pale face.
"Tu-Mr Princess! You okay?" Marcus immediately holds Zeeta.
The customer and Edward and Ella looked worried.
"Where is this..danger! They're ruining .. nature!" zeeta. He tried even though his breathing was heavy and his consciousness seemed to want to fly from him.
"Nature?"
"Marcus, immediately evacuate the population. Don't ask me too much, I'm going to see teacher Ashley." After Zeeta stands alone, he approaches his twin cousin. "Sorry, have fun getting here first, yeah." Zeeta hugs the twins and teleports.
After Zeeta teleports, Marcus walks to the entrance. "You hear? We can't panic. Show yourself calmly. I'm gonna report this to Mr. Albert for the Glass Port."
The terrified-looking customers calmed down by adjusting their breaths.
"For the Princess!" said one customer. They also made one sound.
......................
[In the meantime, in the woods.].
Aria and Ozy—who were bathing under the flow of the waterfall, felt the horror that Zeeta felt.
With her body shaking violently after giggling with Ozy, Aria quickly asked, "Ozy.... It's so terrible, the nature is suddenly destroyed.... What is it that is approaching Aurora?"
Ozy put Aria by the side of the waterfall and replied, "Hollow." Ozy's face was very unfriendly. "Zeeta ... in .. danger!" Ozy quickly ran after Zeeta.
"He-hey! What is Hollow? Wait for me, I'm also—"
"No! This ... is very dangerous!" Ozy's impact made Aria fall. "Hollow ... is impossible to face .. anyone!" after saying that, Ozy quickly ran back.
"W-what's that...? I've never seen Ozy like that!" mummified Aria. "My feeling is not good, I should immediately return to the Great Magic Forest!" Aria changes her shape into an elf and flies in the opposite direction to Ozy.
......................
Zeeta has arrived before Ashley. When he arrived, the entire Levant and Ashley themselves had serious faces.
"Zeeta, you know what you have to do, right?" ask Ashley.
"Protect my people" Zeeta replied. Zeeta takes off her arms, and Edward and Ella immediately run to Agatha's arms with anxious faces.
"You're right. Even before we had time to install the sensors, we had the arrival of unfriendly guests. We and the other major nobles will try to face whoever comes here. You, with your power, do whatever it takes to protect your people!"
Zeeta is breathing. "Where is my father?" tanyakanya.
"Have been displaced."
"Alright, take care of your safety." Zeeta teleported back.
"Son Zeeta.. Don't force yourself!" inner Agatha.
At the same time, the red-eyed purplish-black creatures reached the final point, the Eastern Region, in the village of "Falls". There are still many people who have not had time to evacuate themselves over the sudden threat. Meanwhile, Porte herself, as the East Region's in charge was not present there after receiving Ashley's distress call.
"W-what the fuck are you guys?!" a man ran in tears after seeing the dead.
That purplish black figure—Hollow—continues to walk no matter what is before him. At a faster pace than the man before them, the man was "stamped" into their bodies. It didn't take long, the man died leaving behind only his skull and clothes. The people who stopped running, immediately panicked and ran scattering.
"Where is Mr Porte at a time like this?! Can't the crystal protect us?!" yell at one of them.
"There's no time to complain, immediately reveal yourself! I'll block them with my magic!" a man stood gallantly trying to block the Hollow.
"Village Chief, don't be rash! How could our magic work!" a man of them stopped.
"Nobody will know if you don't try! Princess Zeeta will definitely do this!" the Village Head. He prepared water magic in his palm.
"Aaahh, basic! If you die, let's die together!" the man prepared ice magic on his palm.
"Now!" The Village Chief slammed his palm on the ground, followed by the man.
After the water hit the Hollow, the ice immediately shut them in freezing. But alas, the black smoke that kept coming out like miasma from their bodies, made it easier for them to approach the human before him by devouring the magic.
"Heheh, this is the end." The village chief and the man drowned in smoke and became a skull.
In this magical world, magic doesn't work against Hollows. How can Zeeta protect his people from their threats? How did Ashley and her fellow nobles defeat the Hollow?
