On the island of Karna, in the deepest part of the Temple of the Moon, a white dragon was shrouded in a purple magic array, writhing its body a little cramped.

In front of her, a brown-haired girl was holding her breath and starlight, similar to magic.

As the ancient incantations of the "Polyan" recited in her mouth became more and more complete, the "Star Codex" in the girl's hand also began to emit a silver-purple light.

The vast amount of moon magic began to spill out of the magic circle, creating a frosty barrier around the dragon.

The "Moon Drop" used by the Moon Shrine Maiden not only has the effect of removing magic, but also has a purifying effect.

Zela guesses that the reason why Jelf was unable to give Erin a complete 'human form' in the original world line was because he was unable to purify the 'dragon power' contained in the dragon's body.

So what we need to do now is to suppress, or purify, the 'dragon seed' in Erin's body while removing the side effects of the "dragon slaying magic".

It's just that the body that is completely dragonized means that the 'Dragon Seed' has taken root and sprouted, and it is not so simple to uproot it......

Whether she can hold on or not is up to her......

……

"Ahhh——!!!!hhh

“……”

The howls of pain had not stopped since the magic circle was activated, and the miserable dragon roar also made Zela's brow furrowed, worried about whether Erin would be able to support the pain that seemed to have shattered the bones of her body while she was conscious.

If you can't stay awake and recover your body, the effect will only be half the effect.

“…… Please...... Finish! ”

"I can...... Hold on! ”

“……！”

Intermittent supplications came from where the dragon was, and though weak, he could clearly feel the joy and relief contained in the words, and the will that continues to this day.

“…… Changes in the body...... I can...... Feel it! ”

"Four hundred years...... Four hundred...... It's been a year! ”

"To this extent...... Ahh——!!hhh ”

“……”

Nodding slightly, the realization conveyed by Erin did not need to be said more.

Sometimes, only this persistence cannot be given up.

Zela agrees with this.

……

That night, the screams of the mysterious dragon that descended on the island of Karna never stopped.

The effects of the transformed dragon's body tormented her soul all the time.

But for a woman who has been mocked by fate, it was all worth it.

After a long 'wait', the Scarlet Celestial Maiden finally had no despair and was redeemed in the moonlight.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

“…… Whining...... Mankind!! It's a human body......!! ”

"I finally ...... Human......"

Prostrated on the edge of a forested lake, the crimson-haired woman burst into tears and embraced her new body.

The change in temperature, the pain of the wound, the real sensation of touch...... After 400 years, she finally regained what she had lost.

“…… I have purified the 'Dragon Seed' in your body, but the 'Dragon Power' is still reserved for you, and you can still use the 'Holy Dragon Slaying Magic' in the future, and there will be no more danger of dragonization. ”

Seeing Erin's true feelings, Zela also smiled with relief.

And she estimated that Erin's physical body should also absorb the dragon's system, and it was very simple to live as long as the dragon species.

However, whether to choose the 'immortal species' or the 'ordinary person' depends on his own decision.

"Thank you...... Thank you...... Thank you so much!! ”

Hanging her head towards Zela, Erin really didn't know how to thank the girl in front of her.

When she herself feels abandoned by the whole world, someone will come to save her......

It was only with great difficulty that the mother-to-be's excitement stabilized, and the brown-haired girl had the opportunity to talk to her about other topics.

“…… Erin, do you have any plans for the next place? ”

At first, I just didn't want her to join Jelf's camp.

Now it seems that there should be no problem.

"Going to ...... Is that ......."

All this time, she didn't seem to think about it.

It's just that before that, there is one thing that must be done.

"I want to ...... Give birth to this child first......"

With a maternal smile on her face, without her crazy obsession, she can finally open her mind as a mother.

(Child...... Yes...... Is it Elusa...... ）

"Speaking of which, have you already decided on your child's name?"

"Not yet...... If you can, how about you pick it up? ”

"Forehead ......"

Scratching her face, she really didn't have this experience.

But it didn't matter, she knew who the child was.

"That ......"

"Let's call Elusa!"

"Huh? Do you think it's going to be a girl? ”

"Huh...... Perhaps, I have a hunch. ”

Looking at the face similar to that of the future fairy queen, Zela smiled mysteriously.

……

Yes, Elusa.

Elusa Belcellion.

New life, new life.

Also, a new future.

As for what the future holds, that's another story.

Because here, someone's "dream" ...... It's time to wake up, too......

……

************************************************************************************************************************

"Hmm......"

In the holy land of "Fairy Tail", under the ancient tree of the wolf on "Sirius Island", a girl's eyelids twitched slightly with her eyes closed.

On August 777, after curing Layla, who was suffering from a lack of mana, with the "Great Sins of Nirvana" and the "Psalm of Life", she returned to the "Star Spirit Realm" and used it again on a certain hair-eared girl.

Although the effect has reached expectations, Mebis, whose vitality has been replenished, still hasn't woken up for some reason, perhaps, it's not enough to unlock this 'lock'.

But the vitality was indeed restored, at least proving that the girl's efforts were not in vain.

However, even her magic power was close to overdraft, so she had to come to this "Sirius Tree" with the effect of restoring magic to rest for a while.

"Looks like you're well-rested, Lord Zela."

As if she had been waiting for a long time, and as if she had just arrived, the crimson-haired woman with a strangely shaped hat chuckled and stood in front of the brown-haired girl with a white and black-spotted antler wand.

"Erin......"

“…… That's why you can just call me by my first name or something......"

After so many years, although the two are more like companions and friends when they get along, this woman has never forgotten the kindness of turning from a dragon back to a human, and she considers herself a subordinate of the girl who gave her a new life.

"Forget it...... How's it going, have people found it? ”

Rubbing her eyes, Zela remembered that she had asked her to go to the Western Continent before she fell asleep, and now that she had returned, she would sleep like this...... Looks like I've been sleeping for a long time......

"Well, it's called Brantish, right? She is indeed a very talented little girl. ”

Thinking back to the journey that brought the little girl back, Erin's expression was very 'happy'.

"That's good......"

"By the way, is there anything about the guy who played the Emperor Game in the 'Arubarez Empire'?"

Accustomed to the occasional 'blackening' of the other party, Zela asked softly about the changes that had taken place during this time.

"You mean Emperor Sprith? Hehe, that majesty has been busy sorting out internal affairs recently, and I heard that there is still something to choose from the "Twelve Saints of Shield", so I secretly went to participate in a few qualifiers under my name, and there is nothing that can catch my eye. ”

Shrugging her shoulders, Erin looked very disdainful of the strength of the Western Continent.

With her strength, it is not surprising that she would have such a judgment.

"Yes, I'm already picking out the Twelve Saints......"

Smiling meaningfully, the girl who had straightened her clothes got up from under the tree.

"So...... It's time for us to prepare, too......"

……

In the deepest part of Sirius Island, a huge diamond-shaped crystal shimmered with colorful starlight suspended in the air.

Underneath it, countless magic crystals, large and small, continued to provide magical power, intertwined and intertwined, weaving a shape similar to a bedding.

Like.

- "Cradle".
