Chapter 122 – The Last Fairy
“Will we meet again?”
“We will meet again.”
“Again, just like now······.”
“It will be so. It will be so.”
&
The night after the meeting.
Uther and Cordelia lay face down on the floor, looking down at a large map.
“The locations of the fairies discovered so far are as follows… so there’s a high possibility that the last fairies, the water fairies, are here.”
Uder marked the locations of the fairies one by one on the map.
The Fall Fairies and Winter Fairies we met in the North.
Wild fairies met in the wild land.
In the royal capital, I met the Summer Fairies, and in the southern Eternal Forest, I met the Spring Fairies.
“Breeze fairies and fire fairies.”
In the Shadow Forest, I met Elune’s friends, the Breeze Fairies.
Encountered fire fairies at the tomb of Garius.
Seven out of eight.
All that remains now are the water fairies, the last fairies.
As if he was retracing his journey, Uder marked the places he had met the fairies one by one on the map, and moved his hand one last time.
It was a place that was created by combining knowledge about Hero Chronicles 2 and information heard from the fairies I had met.
“Eastern Empire.”
“That’s why it’s a place I haven’t been able to go until now.”
The eastern part of the empire was currently occupied by the Chancellor’s army and his demon followers from the East.
Fortunately, however, the valley where the water fairies were supposed to be was within the area secured by the Holy Cross Guardians and the Royal Army.
“It’s deep in the forest, so no one will care.”
“The last fairy······.”
Cordelia, who was muttering softly with her chin resting on her hand, looked back towards the northern part of the empire – the place where she had first met the fairies.
It’s been less than two years, a short time if you will.
But it was a really strange feeling.
It feels like an old memory, but also like it happened just yesterday.
Is it because I recalled a lot of memories from my past life, or is that what memories are?
“I never imagined I would be singing Little Star there.”
As Uther spoke with a snicker, Cordelia blushed slightly and pouted her lips.
“Tch, how do you remember what song Cordelia sang in Heroes Chronicles 2? It’s weird to be the one who remembers.”
Hero Chronicles 2 almost completely covered the Pleiades stories, but it wasn’t completely perfect.
Slight differences in detail.
It’s like Cordelia’s song that Cordelia herself doesn’t know.
“Do you remember that time? When we did a play together.”
“Yeah, I remember.”
The story of the Great Wizard and the Fairy Queen performing in front of the Winter Fairies.
It’s been done so many times now that it seems pretty plausible, but at the time it was incredibly awkward.
“Why are you laughing like that?”
“No, just.”
I remember the fairies who used to be angry and tell me to kiss them.
Uder, who giggled, then pointed with his hand to the place where he had met the wild fairies.
“I remember this too.”
“Did you have fun acquiring the items?”
“That’s true, but don’t you remember what you said when you caught the devil?”
“uh?”
When Cordelia tilted her head, Uther clicked his tongue and lightly tapped Cordelia on the forehead before saying,
“I told you that since you don’t have legs, the devil won’t be able to threaten your legs anymore. Oh my goodness. I really thought you were the devil. I can still remember the look on the Fairy Queen’s face.”
That face is completely absent-minded.
As Uther continued to giggle, Cordelia puffed out her cheeks and kicked Uther’s butt while lying down.
“I hate you, I hate you!”
“You are cute.”
Yuder, who chuckled again while holding his chin, pointed to the royal road.
“It was fun even then.”
“Are you talking about the night pool?”
“Oh, night pool.”
“But Yuder.”
“huh?”
“So who did you end up going with?”
In a previous life.
On Earth, not the Pleiades.
Which year – no, who did you go to the night pool with?
When Cordelia asked with a bright smile, Uther answered with a flinch before he knew it.
“Oh, no. It was work, right? I just went with my colleagues for work. Security mission?”
“Because of work?”
“Oh, because of work.”
As Uther said with a hahaha, Cordelia only smiled with her lips.
“That’s strange? You said you only heard stories about it back then, but never actually been there?”
He was clearly smiling, but his eyes weren’t smiling.
I felt like beads of sweat were running down my back.
“Oh, that’s right. That’s right. I guess my memory back then was a bit faulty. That’s right. As I searched for my past life memories, my memories became clearer.”
“Ah… I see. The world’s Yuder misremembered. He remembered what the soil was like, but he didn’t remember whether he went to the night pool or not. I see. That could happen.”
Uder swallowed dry saliva and quickly moved his fingers. He kept shaking, but he succeeded in reaching the Forest of Eternity.
“Wow! Our princess did a great job here, didn’t she?”
Because I was able to summon the Spring Fairies in an instant, which no other elf had been able to summon during the battle, and quickly obtain what I wanted.
“The chocolate blackmail. And what a creative way to blackmail. I couldn’t help but be impressed.”
“It’s like being an old man to talk nonsense.”
“Ugh.”
Yuder, who was hit in the most unexpected place, tried to answer with a calm expression.
“No, but I was in my 20s after all······.”
Although it was very late in the game.
But Cordelia laughed excitedly at Uther’s excuse, then said coldly.
“When my cousin came back from the military, everyone called him ‘uncle.’”
I was speechless at the perfect logic.
Uther just grimaced, and Cordelia laughed out loud and pinched Uther’s cheek as she spoke.
“What, we’re the same age now?”
I have experienced many past lives.
As Cordelia giggled, Uther looked at her with cold eyes and said.
“I’m going to scold you later.”
“huh?”
“I’m going to give you a proper scolding later.”
At Uther’s declaration of war(?), Cordelia laughed awkwardly and pointed towards the Empire as if trying to change the subject.
“The Breeze Fairies were nice too. They were gentle too.”
“Because we’ve become very accustomed to fairies.”
At first, I didn’t know how to deal with him, so I would feel discouraged every time we met, but not anymore.
“The fire fairies were a bit strange, weren’t they?”
“Because the fairy wasn’t like a fairy.”
Moreover, what the Fire Fairy Queen said.
Perhaps she had some memories of her past life before meeting Uther himself.
“Ha… Now there’s really only one left. Somehow it doesn’t feel real.”
As Cordelia spoke, placing her cheek on the map, Uther nodded as well.
Memories of destruction repeated over and over again.
Even the one I remember the most, Yuder, couldn’t remember everything.
I only had a few fragments of my shattered memories.
Meet the last Fairy Queen and complete the protection of the Fairy King.
We advance towards the final battlefield together.
This time, to achieve a perfect happy ending.
Uther looked back at Cordelia.
I unconsciously caressed her cheek and thought.
Once I left Red Gate the next morning, there was no stopping me.
No one could guarantee how the schedule would proceed.
So today was the last day.
“It’s not the end.”
Cordelia said.
He said again, gently holding Yuder’s hand that was on his cheek.
“It will continue. It will never be the last. We will make it happen.”
Uther nodded. He pressed his lips to Cordelia’s forehead and cheek, then naturally pushed her to the side and made her lie down.
“I love you, Cordelia.”
“I love you too.”
No matter how many times I told it, I was still shy and embarrassed.
My heart was always pounding.
So Uther laughed. He grabbed Cordelia’s wrist and squeezed it, whispering mischievously.
“It’s time to get married now.”
“You really look like an old man- Huh?”
Uther, who had gently bitten Cordelia’s ear, didn’t stop there.
As he had promised, he scolded Cordelia.
&
The next morning.
Cordelia, who had barely slept, glared at Uther with cold eyes, and Uther smiled broadly and said.
“Was that okay?”
Instead of answering, Cordelia kicked Uther in the butt, and Uther giggled again and looked back at the desk.
A love letter, sealed and placed on top of a pretty envelope.
Now, it’s something I’d regret not leaving behind when I go somewhere.
“Can’t I see what it says?”
“Oh, no. I won’t show you.”
Cordelia spoke firmly, then excitedly put on her cloak and picked up Moonlight.
“Stop trembling and go. You’ll get in trouble if you use clairvoyance?”
Uther, who was about to open his mouth to Cordelia’s sharp remark, smiled slyly and said.
“Well, I guess I’ll show you someday, right?”
“Because I saw what you did.”
It was truly Cordelia-like to be excited all the way to the end. So Uther happily hugged Cordelia’s waist and then hugged her tightly.
“Then shall we set off now?”
“Okay, let’s go.”
To the plain answer, Yuder replied plainly.
He pressed his lips to Cordelia’s forehead and kicked open the window.
A black gale sweeps across the empire.
Melissa, who had been quietly watching the scene, spoke in a displeased voice.
[But by the way, I always wonder, why don’t you ride Phantom Steed? Even if it’s during the day, it’s not like you can’t ride it.]
[Don’t you already know the answer?]
Belencia clicked her tongue as she said that, but her face was smiling.
&
Uther and Cordelia’s journey went smoothly.
I wasn’t in that much of a hurry because I had to catch up with Landius and Lucas anyway.
Run during the day, get plenty of rest at night.
The third night after departure.
Arriving at the valley, Uther and Cordelia took off their clothes in a hurry.
There was nothing to be embarrassed about since I was already wearing the swimsuit I bought at the royal palace.
The season is early autumn.
Because of this, the night air was quite chilly, but it did not affect Uther and Cordelia at all, who had been protected by various protections.
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that these two people were invincible.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No, because I like abs.”
As Cordelia licked her lips and spoke, Uther giggled and placed his hand on Cordelia’s stomach.
“I like it too.”
“joy.”
As always, Cordelia was excited, but she didn’t slap Yuder’s hand away. Instead, she grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the valley.
Two moons in the sky and the calm water. The sound of insects in the grass carried by the wind.
Uther and Cordelia slowly entered the water, starting from the tips of their toes. They held each other in their arms and sang the promised song.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star.”
“It looks beautiful.”
Lightly, one phrase at a time.
And then immediately after, Uther and Cordelia each reached out and grabbed each other’s hands.
Chomp chomp!
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
The water fairies caught in the hands of Uther and Cordelia blinked their large eyes, and the two immediately took the next step.
The captured fairies were each given a piece of chocolate to eat.
“Ahh, ahhh?”
“Amazing!”
As expected, the fire fairies were strange.
Uther and Cordelia, who were talking with their eyes, looked back at the fairies who were absorbed in chocolate and those who gathered one by one and showed curiosity.
He spoke with a dark smile to the little lambs who had already fallen into the clutches of the devil.
“Let’s go play at night.”
With your queen.
The smiles of Uther and Cordelia were so captivating, there was no refusal for the fairies who were completely immersed in the magic of chocolate.
A valley in early autumn, with only ten days left until the coming of the Archangel.
Uther and Cordelia face the final Fairy Queen.
