Chapter Forty-Nine: In the World of the Stars
Blue, green, pink......
The sight that slowly descends from the aperture and appears in the eyes of the brown-haired girl after passing through the magic circle opened by the Star Spirit Maid is made up of various strange shapes and colorful buildings. X
On both sides of the gate engraved with the word 'star' in front of you, crystal clear crystals sparkle and coral-like branches are intricately surrounded.
As far as the eye can see, the large and small spheres linked together float under the purple star curtain, and the rising phantom bubbles refract the streamer, bringing infinite reverie.
This is the world where the stars live.
Astral Realm.
……
(…… It's beautiful, indeed...... )
(I'd love to see Mebis too...... )
Staying in the center of the magic array with emotion, she looked at the figure that was 'sleeping' in the sphere beside her, and the girl who shook her head regained her spirits.
Sad moments, enough have been experienced in this month.
Finally got permission to stay in this world temporarily through Balus, and he had to settle Mebis quickly, and then go back to find a solution to his lack of magic.
You must know that the Fairy Ball that has been successfully unleashed with the help of the magic of the Sirius Tree can last for an infinite amount of time, let alone decades.
That's why Zela thought of the Astral Spirit Realm, a world where the speed of time is different from the human realm.
One day here is equivalent to three months in the human world.
As long as Mebis was left here, she would have plenty of time to find a solution to her problem.
That's what the brunette girl was going to do.
However, this idea, after the appearance of a certain king, deviated again......
……
************************************************************************************************************************
“…… That one...... Balug, haven't you arrived yet......"
Urging the wheelchair to move through the galaxy-intertwined passages, the brunette girl rubbing her bare arms again asked the question she had asked several times.
In order to enter the astral realm, you must wear the clothes that are unique to this place, and Zela knows this......
And she's tried not to care about these inconsequential 'little things', but......
Why is the dress on Mebis an ordinary dress, but the clothes on her body look like a dancing girl?!
Fortunately, most of the astral spirits in the astral realm are non-humanoid creatures, and I haven't seen any other astral spirits until now......
(This guy...... It can't be intentional, right...... )
At this moment, it was as if the 'minds' were connected, and when she turned half her head to look at Zela's restrained appearance, the Star Spirit Maid smiled 'hey'.
“……”
This unprecedented 'experience' and 'challenge' had to make someone resist the urge to make a move, and constantly reassure themselves that it was all for Mebis......
Perhaps, this is the Star Spirit Maiden's way of helping her master relieve his depression.
Of course, excluding these, the most likely thing is that this maid with no lower limit of shame wants to be 'punished'......
……
"Here we are, master."
Standing in the center of a large circular altar, the maid who had stopped moved out of the way.
(Is it finally there...... )
Slightly relieved, it's good that no one else sees him like this, so hurry up and put Mebis up......
"Here, it's between the Star Spirit King's meeting."
(Oh, here you are...... )
(…… )
(…… Well? )
Seems to have heard some strange name?
“…… Wait a minute! Baluge! Isn't this where you live in the Astral Realm?! ”
"No, master."
I really didn't hesitate to answer directly...... What about placing Mebis on the star where you live?!
"For the king said, I want to see you."
“!”
As if knowing Zela's doubts, the Star Spirit Maid quickly explained the reason.
(…… Star Spirit King...... Want to see me? )
Before Zela could think further about the meaning, the huge figure had already appeared under the starry sky along with the small white Milky Way.
With his hands crossed in front of his chest, the strangely shaped king, with a beard growing from his nose and a star on his forehead, opened his mouth in a thick, slow tone.
"You're finally ...... Here we are, our ...... Friend. ”
"From Balugue...... After hearing about you, I have been ...... since I was down I want to meet you. ”
"After all...... You're the first one who wants to stay in the Star Spirit Realm...... Mankind. ”
“……”
That's what happened......
Hearing the bearded uncle in front of him say this, Zela knew probably why.
I thought that I wanted to see her at this time because the other party regretted and didn't want them to stay, it was really a false alarm......
The reason why the Star Spirit King wanted to see her was probably because the gap between the flow speed of the Star Spirit Realm and the Human Realm was too large, so when they stayed in the Star Spirit Realm for a while, it might have been a long, long time since they returned to the Human Realm.
In addition, the base number of Star Spirit Wizards is already small, not to mention those who are willing to abandon everything that remains in the Star Spirit Realm.
And Zela is also quite curious about what Baluge thinks of herself, judging by the tone of the Star Spirit King, it shouldn't be bad, right?
……
“…… Thank you for allowing us to stay in the Star Spirit Realm, Star Spirit King. ”
"During this time, I may have to bother more."
Coming back to her senses from the sudden appearance of the Star Spirit King, although it was a king in front of her, the brown-haired girl raised her head and greeted her without humility or arrogance.
Since the other party calls her a friend, it is said that the star spirits still recognize her.
Don't go overboard and get along with each other as friends.
"Hmm...... Bagatelle...... A ......"
"Little friend's friend's business...... We've heard of it......"
"If you don't mind...... Can you show Crookes...... Can you help......"
“!”
It seems that he really has a lot of understanding, and for the pain that poisoned Zela, the Star Spirit King did not hesitate to help him in his words.
Southern Cross Star Spirit Crookes, who is in charge of the knowledge of the Star Spirit Realm and the Human Realm, and manages the Star Spirit Library, can be said to be the most knowledgeable old man in the Star Spirit Realm.
Even if the body structure of human beings is different from that of the star spirits, with the old man's knowledge, he may be able to give a lot of advice!
“…… Thank you! Star Spirit King! ”
"Hey!"
Facing Zela's sudden thanks, Uncle Beard also grinned.
What a nice guy.
But there can be such a perfect result......
You must have done a lot of work......
Thank you, Balusko......
……
I don't know if it's Zela's delusion, it's the first time she's ......
I saw the face of the Star Spirit Maid blushing.
……
************************************************************************************************************************
"Uh-huh......"
“……”
"Uh-huh......"
“……”
"Whirring ......"
The bubbles on his nose grew larger and smaller with his breathing, and this old man who was summoned by the Star Spirit King was in this state from the beginning.
Are you sure he's thinking, not sleeping?
asked Uncle Beard with such suspicious eyes, and the latter's head seemed to be faintly dripping with a cold sweat.
Fortunately, this old man finally didn't let the king of their family lose face, and when the bubbles blown by the snoring sound went through the thirtieth cycle, he finally woke up with a 'snap'.
"Hmmm......"
"There's no way...... I don't know much about human diseases...... This thing...... Sorry. ”
"Really......"
With a wry smile, the answer she had waited for so long made Zela's body retract back into her chair again, her shoulders hanging weakly.
Sure enough, it is very disappointing to have expectations but not get the desired results.
But I still want to thank the other party for their help.
"It's okay...... Excuse me, old man Crewe. ”
Gently stroking the golden orb, the feather-eared girl is peacefully 'sleeping' here.
“……”
"Uh-huh......"
Snoring in place again, the Southern Cross Spirit who didn't leave for some reason woke up quickly this time.
However, the words he said afterwards made everyone doubt their ears.
"Uh-huh...... I can't see anything of this human girl whose time has stopped, but your friend ...... King."
"Maybe it's closer to 'death' than this......"
“……”
“!!!” r
