Volume 2 Chapter 48 Request from the Fairy
The one I helped was the first prince of the Fairy Kingdom.
And the fairy Lilinne, whom I met in the Forbidden Archive of the Sage Emperor, was a princess.
A few dozen minutes later.
In the reception room of the Demon Lord's country.
'Sister, please return to the palace. Everyone is worried.'
Prince Reiss was sitting on the sofa in front of me.
'No wayyyy!'
Lilinne stubbornly shook her head.
Apparently, Lilinne had run away from the palace thousands of years ago and met the Sage Emperor Anti while wandering around.
"Thousands of years... that's incredible."
'For us fairies, it"s just a moment.'
I see, fairies are said to be nearly immortal.
They must have a different perspective on time than we do.
'Sister is the next Fairy Queen, but she just won't listen...'
"So it's a matriarchal state. Just go home."
'I refusesss! I have been strictly ordered to serve Sir Zeke over Sir Antiii! So I can't go home!'
It didn't seem like she was being told that strictly...
"It's fine, you can go home."
'N-no way! That's cruel! I will serve you until I die!'
She just wants to stay here because she has royal duties to attend to if she goes back home...
Just then.
'Big brother!'
A little puppy came running towards me.
"Haku, what's wrong?"
This child is the Divine Beast Haku.
For some reason, I am taking care of her.
A little blue dragon also flew over.
'Are you done with work? Let's play!'
'...play?'
Both of them climbed onto my shoulder and snuggled up to me.
"Sorry, not yet."
''Aww...''
"I'll play with you later. Go play over there for now."
''Okay!''
They jumped down and went off to play.
'......'
Reiss was watching this scene in astonishment.
"Is something wrong?"
'Sir Zeke, was that... Could it have been a Divine Beast?'
"Yeah. So what?"
'Unbelievable...! For a Divine Beast to trust someone this much... That's incredible!'
Prince Reiss looks at me with sparkling eyes.
"Is that really such a big deal?"
'Of course! It's unheard of for a human to talk so familiarly with one like that!'
'Haha! See? Sir Zeke is amazing! After all, even the Sage Emperor recognizes his strength!'
Wahaha!
Lilinne puffs out her chest with pride.
Meanwhile, Reiss, hearing this, speaks seriously.
'Demon Lord, I have a request to make.'
"A request? What is it?"
'In truth, our country is currently dealing with a troublesome issue. Even with the combined efforts of the fairies, we've been unable to resolve it. But with your power, perhaps...'
They seemed to be in some kind of trouble.
"Alright, I'll take it on."
'W-What!? You'll accept it before even hearing the details?'
"When someone's in trouble, it's only natural to help. I'll hear the specifics on the way there."
'Oh...! How truly wonderful... Demon Lord is such a noble-hearted individual...'
As Reiss sniffs and cries, I hand him a handkerchief.
"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"
'We need your help dealing with... a certain Divine Beast that is wreaking havoc on our country.'
