SS #38 2 years later, each one’s day
#1 The cat, the wind, and the knight
A mountain lodge located on the border of the Argon Empire and the Wild Lands.
The mountain lodge, located in the middle of a snowy field where white snow was falling heavily and the surrounding area was covered in white, looked like a lighthouse in the dark night sea.
And there was one figure who was moving diligently like a small boat heading towards that one and only light.
Small body.
White breath leaking out with every step I take.
The leather clothes and cloak were so thick that it was impossible to tell the gender, let alone the face.
Inyoung, who had been slowly but steadily advancing on the snowy field where her feet sank deeply, finally arrived at the mountain lodge and roughly opened the door.
“Haa! Shit! We finally got here!”
In-young opened the door, letting out the exclamation she had learned from her dear master, and as soon as she entered the lodge with the snowballs falling like corn, she declared, and the woman who had been sitting clinging to the fireplace in front of her suddenly burst into anger.
“Close the door! The cold wind is coming in!”
Even the slight breeze that came in for a moment made Inyoung frown as she hugged herself as if she was cold.
“If you’re cold, put on some clothes! You’re naked and saying it’s cold!”
“I’m not naked. It’s our traditional clothing. I’m covering up what needs to be covered. I’m just closing the door!”
A slender beauty with long, blue hair – Inyoung – Kirara grumbled as she closed the door again, resonating with the anger that had burst out from the Red Wind.
The red wind was second to none, and the amount of snow that had come in in a short period of time was considerable.
“You’ve worked hard, come over here and drink something hot.”
“There’s no one better than Sarah. She’s more cultured than anyone else.”
Kirara closed the door, took off her cloak, and approached the fireplace with a smile. Sarah, who had been sitting across from Red Wind, gave up the seat she had been sitting in and poured cocoa into a wooden cup.
“Cat, why are you so late?”
“Can’t you see the snowstorm? Next time, we really need to change the meeting place.”
Kirara let out a sigh that was closer to exhaustion than annoyance, as if she had really had a hard time, and drank the cocoa that Sarah had offered her.
“Haa… … I can live now. Thank you, Sarah.”
As Kirara’s tail swished on its own, Sarah smiled and sat down after picking up the cloak and outerwear that Kirara had taken off.
“Then shall we begin this meeting?”
“That’s good.”
“great.”
As Red Wind and Kirara agreed, Sarah smiled again and clapped her hands together with a loud clap.
“Well, then, me first. The empire is at peace. His Majesty the Emperor is planning to take his fifth empress next month, and all the royal descendants are in good health.”
When hearing Sarah’s story, Kira was reminded of the boy emperor who used to chase after his beloved master, shouting, “Angel! Angel!”
He was a little kid, smaller than Kirara herself, but now he has grown up and has five wives.
‘Is this what it means to feel the difference in generations?’
While Kirara smiled without realizing it, Sarah continued talking in a quiet voice.
“Leon is doing well, too. These days, he goes fishing with Tristan and Gwen, and he seems to be having a lot of fun. Tristan seems to be better with a bow than a sword, but he definitely has talent. Gwen really likes to embroider. Tristan wants to be a knight himself, but Gwen doesn’t… … Leon and I think we shouldn’t force him to become a knight.”
The story began with the current situation of Leon, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and continued with the stories of his children.
“Then I’ll do it next. The Wild Lands are peaceful. There are some minor disputes between tribes, but that’s normal. It’s strange that there aren’t any. Sun Song is still healthy. The children are healthy, and Wind Song wants to go sightseeing in the islands. Can Sarah help?”
“Yes, of course. Bring not only the wind song, but also the sky song and the night song.”
“Thank you. I’ll prepare for the trip when I get back.”
The conversation between the wife of the Imperial Guard Captain and the wife of the Chieftain of the Wild Lands always began with the current state of affairs in the Empire and the Wild Lands, but the meat of the conversation was always their respective family histories.
This is because, from the beginning, this gathering was more of a social gathering than a grand information exchange meeting.
A social gathering created by Kirara and Sara, who became close friends while traveling at the end of the disaster war that occurred over ten years ago, and Red Song happened to join them.
‘I’m gathering all the supporting characters from the novel together and giving them an update! Something like… … something… … I have a strange feeling about that, but anyway.’
Kirara, who had erased the strange thoughts that had momentarily crossed her mind, shrugged her shoulders in front of the two people who were naturally looking back at her and said.
“The Holy Land is also safe. Our Cordelia Order, which serves our master, is also growing rapidly.”
“That’s good. Then what about you, Kirara?”
“Me?”
“Yeah, Kirara. You still don’t have anyone to meet?”
As Kirara pursed her lips at Sarah’s subtle question, Red Wind snorted and said.
“Huh, that’s impossible. She’s an old maid cat. Cats can’t do something as special as giving birth to many children like me and increasing the power of the tribe.”
Red Wind, who had six children with Sun Song, spoke confidently with his chest wide open.
In the wild lands, having many children was a virtue, and a mother who could bear many children was great.
That’s why Red Wind was able to look down on Kirara to his heart’s content.
This cat had never met anyone, let alone given birth to a child.
“Tch, don’t show off. Didn’t Sister Kaisa give birth to many more children than you?”
Caesar Hresvelg.
A heroine of the kingdom who is revered by some factions as the incarnation of the goddess of fertility.
“Ugh… … Me too, me too, I’ll do better. I’ll work hard together with the sun song.”
“… … I think the conversation is getting a little weird.”
And why did we suddenly start talking about Kaisa when we were talking about Kirara in the first place?
Sarah smiled bitterly and changed the subject to another story.
“How is your missionary work? What are your current duties?”
Kirara was a bishop of the Cordelia Church, but he was also a leading missionary who spread the word about Cordelia’s excellence.
The reason she, who originally stayed in the Holy Kingdom, came to this distant empire to hold a meeting was because she often came to the empire for missionary work.
“The Empire has already had many members of the religious order, so I’m worried that we should start advancing to the East… … Overall, as I said at the beginning, things are going smoothly. And as for missions… … I recently completed an important mission.”
“important?”
“Yes, very important. I received a lot of compliments from the master.”
Kirara, who spoke with her chest puffed out as if she was bragging, smiled brightly as she watched the red wind reacting to Cordelia’s compliments and then began to tell her story.
“It’s about the Demon Kingdom. We finally… …found a survivor.”
Magellan of the Magic Kingdom.
A country of high elves that flourished long ago, but now even the remains of the royal capital have disappeared.
Sarah and Red Wind were already familiar with the story that the Cordelia Order was looking for Magellan’s survivors.
Why was the Cordelia Order looking for Magellan’s survivors?
What are you going to do to find survivors?
Sarah and Red Wind perked up their ears and focused on the story, while Kirara continued the story with a warm face.
#2 Re: Fairy Challenge
The night Kirara, Red Wind, and Sarah continue their meeting.
In the capital, where it was still afternoon due to the time difference, another meeting was taking place.
“The time for revenge has finally come.”
An outdoor bath with steam rising from it.
With a stunning view overlooking the beautiful palace behind her, the red-haired girl in a red bikini clenched her fists and fired up her spirit.
That’s no wonder, because more than a decade ago, at this very place, the girl’s two mothers – Scarlett Hresvelg and Kaisha Hresvelg – suffered terrible humiliation.
“Please watch over us, mothers.”
Regina thought as she saw Vivian praying with her hands clasped tightly together.
‘Aren’t you both alive?’
He told me to have fun and gave me some pocket money and a packed lunch.
Anyway, today’s Vivian was so pretty that even Regina, who was also a woman, would feel her heart flutter.
The bikini swimsuit that covered her body that was more mature than her peers went perfectly with Vivian’s white jade skin, and the proud yet confident face beneath her red hair looked especially pretty today.
And her silky, flowing red hair was truly breathtaking.
Vivian Hresvelg.
14 years old.
The girl clenched her fists, swallowed hard, and took nervous steps.
And get it all the way to the top of your head.
Singing while running your hands through your damp hair with warm water.
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star~ You shine so beautifully~”
It was a beautiful voice and a great song.
Vivian’s appearance, soaking wet, was so beautiful that it would not be out of place in the angel pictorial book published monthly by the Cordelia Church.
but.
‘It’s not coming out.’
That’s right.
The fairy that was supposed to appear when a beauty got it and sang did not appear.
“Oh, why?”
Vivian, who had just finished Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, said, trembling as if she was really angry.
It seemed as if tears would fall from her reddened eyes at any moment.
But Vivian was Vivian.
Instead of really breaking out into tears and ruining the mood, she washed her face thoroughly and let out an angry voice.
“Wow! How high are your eyes?!”
Vivian grumbled and left the bathroom, repeating the same words the red-haired beauty had said a dozen years ago.
“It’s Regina’s turn next.”
“Huh? Me? Uh… Can’t I just not do it?”
“What do you mean we’re not doing it? We all agreed to do it once. Why are you saying I’m the only one being fooled?”
‘No, I can go in and come out. Wouldn’t that be more annoying?’
If it had been normal, Regina would have just said it without thinking, but seeing Vivian’s face on the verge of tears, she couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.
‘That, and it might not really come out.’
Regina, wearing a white one-piece swimsuit, swallowed hard and looked back at the curtain standing in the distance – or more accurately, at the large boy sitting beyond it.
“Regina?”
“Oh, okay. I’ll try.”
Regina, who had gotten up awkwardly, took a deep breath and slapped her cheek with a loud sound to focus her mind.
Regina Bayer.
15 years old.
“Let’s go!”
She shouted clearly and got it right away, and called out to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star just like Vivian had done.
and.
“That’s why I said I wouldn’t do it!”
Vivian felt relieved and angry at Regina’s cries, which made her sad.
‘Why are the fairies so sharp-eyed! Our Regina is so cute and pretty!’
Vivian, with her sisterly nature showing, glared at the poor bathroom and then led Regina, who was still crying, out of the bathroom.
“Okay, then next is… … .”
The last person in this place.
The black-haired girl who had been sitting where Vivian and Regina had turned to nodded slightly and stood up from her seat.
Yuria August Bayer.
13 years old.
Dressed in a pink one-piece swimsuit, she walked confidently instead of nervously like Vivian or Regina.
And the moment her toes touched the bathtub.
“Wow! She’s really pretty!”
“Would you like to play with us?”
“Come play with us. Okay?”
Dozens of fairies appeared as if they had been waiting and raised their voices at the same time.
“I haven’t heard the song yet, but I can tell. It’s going to be really good.”
“What are they?”
“They’re pretty too. Should we play together?”
Vivian clenched her fists again and groaned at the fairies’ words while Regina pouted her lips.
In fact, if you look at just their looks, these two people were more than enough to summon fairies.
If it were any other day, the two of them would have been able to summon the fairies.
But today was a very special day, and so the fairies’ already high eyes were raised to the sky.
“Let’s go see the queens.”
“Yeah yeah, your queens!”
Sometimes once a year, sometimes once every two years.
And really, sometimes it’s once every ten years.
Finally, the day of the Fairy Queens’ tournament, which is held at any time, as befits fairies.
Since the fairies in the Holy Kingdom popped out every time they took a bath, Yuria already knew that it was the day of the competition and looked back at Vivian and Regina as if asking what they were going to do. Instead of answering right away, the two girls looked back at the boys waiting beyond the curtain.
If we were going out to play, we should have gone together.
“I’ll bring it.”
Yuria nodded to Vivian’s words, and responded appropriately to the fairies who had begun to chatter again, while looking down at the bathroom – or more precisely, towards the city center of the royal capital.
Thinking about going out to play, I suddenly remembered – no, it was because I kept thinking about the two people who had been bothering me the whole time I was going to the bathhouse.
‘Well, if it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing I can do.’
I didn’t really have any expectations for the two of them to meet in the first place.
Yuria shook off her thoughts with a shrug and smiled brightly at the sight of Eugene walking timidly out from behind the curtain.
#3 A retired mercenary angel and a writer/swordsman
That’s when Yuria took Eugene’s hand and entered the bathroom, feeling shy.
In a fancy cafe located in the heart of the city, two people who seemed to have no connection at all – a blonde beauty and a white-haired beauty, to be exact – were facing each other.
