Chapter 1281: Sixth Star ③
After receiving Spica as a new subordinate, Isis immediately introduced her to the other subordinates.
[And so, I will be in your care from now on.]
[Ahh, it’s a pleasure to meet you…… but well, we aren’t exactly a unified group.]
[The Undead Head-dono that uses weapons as a medium, me, who is a Witch, but mainly fights physically, an Insectoid Demon that makes use of Six Sword Style, a Necromancer from the Black Forest, a Ten-Tailed Mystic Silver, and now, the Spirit of a Blue Crystal Flower…… Hahaha, we certainly weren’t unified, but it’s nice that we all have our individualities.]
Just as Iris said, Isis’ subordinates actually don’t have anything they’re similar in. Their camp is more like the Underworld King’s camp, as what they have in common is that they were all attracted by Isis’ personality.
[Well, there’s already the corpse woman who really stinks of suspicion, so your addition doesn’t really feel out of place.]
[I don’t think that anyone would be more rotten than a muscleheaded roach will come, so unity won’t be a problem.]
[……Huh?]
[……Ahh?]
Even though their group had no uniformity, clearly speaking, the girls are compatible with each other. After all, they all share the same fondness for Isis and naturally get along well with each other.
Perhaps, that is why Spica felt warmth in the atmosphere of this castle.
[Kyuuu!]
[Fufufu, I’m in your care~~]
Seeing her subordinates happily talking with each other after the self-introductions, Isis really seemed to be happy from the bottom of her heart.
To her, the scene before her is one like in her dreams…… Just like the time when she and the other members lived together with Kuromueina, a close and warm family.
Feeling that it was truly a blessing to have met such people, at the same time, she resolved that she wouldn’t be ashamed to be their King.
Immediately after that, Isis sensed the presence of Teleportation Magic, and after notifying the others, she headed for the entrance of the castle. freew ebnove l.com
When she arrived at the entrance of the castle, she found the somewhat disconcerted Lillywood.
“I- Isis, is that Spirit of the Blue Crystal Flower you mentioned in your message true!?”
[……Unnn…… There’s no mistaking it…… Moreover…… I think she’s quite an old Spirit.]
“I- Is that so…… For there to actually be a Spirit residing in the Blue Crystal Flower…… Can I talk to her?”
[……I think it’s alright…… but…… she’s talking to everyone right now…… so wait a bit.]
Lillywood’s reason for visiting is simple. It was because of a hummingbird sent by Isis…… talking about how the Spirit of the Blue Crystal Flower joined her ranks.
The existence of a Spirit that she, the King of Spirits, is unaware of, and furthermore, the Spirit of the Blue Crystal Flower, which she recognized…… no, in which she was convinced was not inhabited by a Spirit, it was truly a situation that came out of the blue, as she hurriedly adjusted her schedule to come to visit Isis.
Just like that, Lillywood was taken to the reception room. A little later, Spica, who had been called by Isis, came and spoke with her, and she was convinced that she was definitely the Spirit of the Blue Crystal Flower.
“…… There really is no mistake. Still, I was surprised. As far as our conversation and your magic power are concerned…… You seemed to be a Spirit that has manifested even before Camilia. You may be the oldest Flower Spirit in existence.”
[Huh, is that so?]
“However, a question still remains. When I received the position of being one of the Six Kings, I should have used a special magic to call out to all the Spirits throughout the Demon Realm……”
[Ahh~~ I did hear you call. Well, I wasn’t really interested, so I ignored it.]
“……I- I see.”
Lillywood’s shoulders slumped slightly at Spica’s carefree words, but at the same time, a thought popped into her head that she had been dismissing until now.
“Even so, it’s hard to imagine that there are other beings that haven’t manifested for tens of thousands of years, but since there’s you as a precedent, it’s possible that there are other faunas that we have recognized as having no Spirits which may actually have Spirits in them. Perhaps, we should reexamine the others for this possibility.”
[……There may be other Spirits…… who didn’t respond to Lillywood’s call…… due to various circumstances…… Besides…… Even if they don’t have Spirit dwelling in them at the moment…… There’s a possibility…… that a Spirit would dwell in them later.]
“I suppose that’s true. It was hasty to assume that Spirits wouldn’t dwell in them. This is a good chance to change my mind about this…… Nevertheless, Isis…… That’s a good look you have on your face.”
[……Unnn? ……You…… think so?]
After nodding her head at Isis’ words, Lillywood told Isis with a kind smile on her face. She is a good friend of Isis and has been watching over Isis for a long time now.
That’s why she could really sense what changes occur in Isis.
“……You are very different from the woman you once were. The you right now attract others just being the way you are.I feel that you’re gaining an atmosphere around your group unlike others…… an atmosphere that was only as such because it’s you.”
[……You…… think so? ……That would kinda…… make me happy.]
[Yes, Isis-sama is undoubtedly a fascinating person. She’s the King we’re proud of after all~~]
“Fufu, I suppose so.”
Having a beloved lover and subordinates…… people she could call her family, Lillywood looked at Isis, who had begun to grow up a great deal as a King, with a truly happy expression on her face.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [I guess she’s been around Isis all those times she had a stormy temper, and that’s why her changes were really visible to Lillywood.]
? ? ? : [You’re right. In fact, Isis-san is mentally growing more and more. Somehow, you could feel that she’s getting stronger.]
