1 『Back to the Iceaglaze Kingdom』
"Your majesty, we have finished setting up the preparations to launch the attack when it show itself again, please give us the order to start"
The Queen raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Preparation? Why go to such extents? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Huh?" The servant girl froze in place. "I appreciate you being worried about me, your majesty, I'm truly honored."
The servant girl adjusted her glasses and put her soft blue hair behind her ear.
"Your majesty, I thought it would be necessary to make preparations since we will be going against her. Please think about it. Other kingdoms are already making their move and if we just stay like this, we would be labeled as lazy."
The Queen sighed and rest her head on her hand.
"We? Who is we? When I was talking about getting ready, I was talking about you."
The servant girl tilted her head, a questioned look clearly visible on her.
"Your majesty, are you trying to say that I will be the one carrying this out? alone? Your majesty, your ability to make jokes even in serious situations is truly impressive!" She laughed awkwardly, hoping this wasn't true.
The Queen laughed along with her. "I should praise my servant for being able the understand her master in a instant!"
They both laughed.
Her glasses fell down. "Y-your majesty! You really are serious?..." She was hoping it was just a joke but it turns out to be true. Despite being terrified she gulped down and forced a smile on her face.
The Queen nodded two time with a smile. "Yes, you heard me right. I'm assigning you to a mission to take her out"
The servant asked again even though the answer have been said many times already. "A- alone?"
"Correct"
"Your majesty, I wouldn't mind going with a larger force b-but... Me– alone? Isn't it-"
The Queen narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharpened, along with her tone."Obedience. A servant must have absolute obedience to their master and must fulfill their wishes no matter what. Have you forgotten about that, my servant?" she straightened up and said "Also remember, this is a order, you can not refuse."
The servant girl picked her glasses up and put it back on. "Yes, I deeply apologize for questioning your decisions, your majesty" NOOO!!! Going alone to fight the goddess?! Going on this mission would mean suicide! I get it! I'm a bit strong but that's too much for a servant! My Queen, your beautiful face sometimes makes me forgot just how cruel your orders can be! She gulped.
The Queen look out of the window, staring at the rough snowstorm happening outside the kingdom. "Don't disappoint me, Elan"
Elan (the servant girl) nodded. "I... Yes, your majesty" NOOOOOO!!! I can't believe I agreed to it! But there's that... if I don't, I will be punished! Oh.. my queen! Just how cruel can you be?! her fingers are trembling, but she clutched her fist, no matter how big the matter is she have to fulfill the queen's wishes.
"I will try my best to live up to your expectations"
Elan left the room. The large door of the throne room closes after she left.
The Queen muttered. "Kehehehe... sorry, my servant!"
2 『The Demon Nation— The Demon King's Kingdom, a kingdom in the deep part of hell』
A large kingdom in the deepest depth of hell, its walls were made from lavlock, a special type of blocks made by using magic on the scorching hot lava and turning it into a solid state like a block but still keeping the properties of lava.
Because of the walls made with lavlock The Demon King's Kingdom has the highest defenses so there aren't a lot of people willing trying to attack the kingdom.
The lavlock's color consists of deep scarlet, yellow and black like obsidian.
There is a large skull with three horns, two on the sides and on in from. It is the place where the royalty stays but there isn't any buildings under the skull but instead it was made in the skull.
There are lights coming from the surface of the skull.
[to the demon king's throne]
There is a large demon sitting on their throne. He is the demon king, duhh. Right now he is in his half demon half human hybrid form for unknown reasons.
His hair is a shade of scarlet darker than blood, his irises are burning red with black pupils, he isn't wearing anything for top except for the shoulder plates and chest plates made from the scales of red dragons (the third highest ranked dragons) but he's wearing long pants, at least the demon king has some dignity.
He is shaking the wine glass in his hand with the face of someone who is amused.
"So, you've appeared yet again, huh? I thought you were gone for good but I was wronged. Heh... You are full of surprises, Orsolba"
He took a sip.
"Tch... This taste horrible"
He threw the glass away, it broke as soon as it make contact with the floor. The ten thousand years old wine in the glass, which he found horrible, spilled on the floor.
He snapped his fingers and the wine evaporated instantly.
"You have found a vessel, haven't you Orsolba?! There is no other ways for you to come back unless you found yourself a vessel." He cracked his neck. "Have you started to make your move, Orsolba Albus?"
The demon king stood up. "Show yourself again and I, The Demon King, Kevin, The Ruler of The Demon Nation! Shall greet both you and your vessel personally!"
3 In the endless sea of white clouds a large island stood right above it. The land large enough to build a kingdom on it.
『The Angelmens' Nation— The Skaflio Kingdom. A kingdom built on a large floating land』
The Queen of Skaflio is the only one making this island float, using her magic to lift this island far from the earth below but not leaving the atmosphere. Thereby, living without the worries of not having oxygen to breath.
The Angelmen, the winged race, people borned with wings and with the ability of flight, the people of this race have learned to fly before even walking, making flight as easy as breathing for them.
A white building, protected by wall of magical clouds. The royal palace of the Queen. It stood tall, as high as the mountains, it was wide. The palace alone covers twenty five percent of the floating island.
The Queen of Skaflio sat peacefully in her throne, her golden hair, her extremely white skin— whiter than the clouds and her six wings made her incomparably beautiful, her beauty would be on the same caliber as the Ice Queen, she has a gold crown big enough for her head to go through it, she is using it to cover her eyes, as a blindfold? She is wearing a robe, just enough to cover her chest and her bottom.
The golden light breaks through from the glass above, showering her with the bright sunlight. She flapped her wings, it was strong enough to send winds that can easily destroy buildings, since the walls has her magic infused within them not even the advanced type of magic can break them.
"That foul stench of unpleasant mana."
She folded her wings back.
"She must have found herself a vessel. But does she thinks a vessel is enough?"
She lifted her crown up and tilted it to 40 degree, exposing one eye while still cover other.
She opened her eye, just staring at her golden eye is enough to make your brain think you're looking at the sun.
She has eyes which were different from others, her irises were much larger than an average person's irises, her white X shaped pupils were rotating endlessly in a slow and steady motion
By opening her eye, the amount of mana in the air— mostly in the sky, has went up by alot, the pressure of her mana causes earthquakes and seas to rage on earth. The sheer pressure of her mana has warped and distorted the space around the island. The spaces itself twisted, bended, took entirely different forms and caused some spaces to entirely disappear.
Many eyes appeared all across the island— on trees, on buildings, on the floor and some were floating in the air. Each individual eyeballs looking at different directions, the eyeballs were queen's. She has been watching over everything from above, it was invisible before but after she opened her eyes it took the form of her eyeballs.
"What would she possible do with a vessel... Ask them to free her body? Has she lost all her shame and pride?"
The sky is turning into a mess.
"I should stop"
She put her crown back down, putting the mess she has started to an end— The eyes which were everywhere disappeared in an instant. The bended and twisted spaces begun to go back to their original forms, the earthquake weakened, the waves calmed and stopped completely. It took a long time for everything to go back to normal.
She flapped her wings a few times and folded them back "I will let you play with your vessel for a while, Orsolba. But don't think I will let you have your ways as you like."
She... went back to sleep.
4 Annette placed a basket full of bread on the wooden table. It smells like bread because it's bread...
Annette looked at Orange, then to Alice who was sitting across him, Alice has calmed down and Annette can no longer threat any dangerous intent coming from her.
She turned to Orange once again. He is relieved but still trembling from the previous incident.
[Annette]: "Orange, have you already explained what happened to her?"
[Orange]: "Y... Yeah, I have." His face is pale like he just saw a ghost or something. He voice is shaking.
[Alice]: "You should've told me sooner..." She pouts. "I'm sorry okay?... Please don't be like that anymore!"
[Orange]: "Yeah, right! Do you expect me to be calm after almost having it cut off! No! No I can't!"
Annette sighed, and sat down in the middle.
After arguing for a while Orange turned to Annette. She was wearing a new set of bakery attire.
[Orange]: "Hey, Anne. Did you change into a new set?"
Annette nodded.
[Annette]: "Yeah, I had to. It was all dirty because of all those thugs."
Orange nodded. After everything she has gone through, it's common sense she would change into something clean but a bakery attire again?
[Orange]: "I have a question"
[Annette]: "Ask right away!" She responded energetically.
Orange wasn't surprised anymore, he is already used to Alice's enthusiasm so it wouldn't be surprising if her cousins acts as energetically as her.
[Orange]: "I know you are a baker but do you really need to be wearing it on the street?"
Annette placed her finger on her head and started thinking hard for an answer Orange might like. It's a cute action.
Haha! Too bad Anne... I'm used to Alice's cuteness so this level of performance won't be enough!
[Annette]: "Let's see... Since I was young I've only gotten bakery attire as my everyday clothes because my parents wanted me to become a baker like them and pass on their so-called 'legacy'. I thought it wouldn't be much of a problem so I just play along with it. Do you know? The bakery attire covers the curves on my body which are better than big sis's-"
Alice shoots a sharp glare at Annette. [Alice]: "We don't need to know that"
As the little interaction between two cousins unfolded before him, he thought. Even the cute and friendly Alice can be scary sometimes... So cuteee! Wait- no! Not cute at all! She is scary!
Annette continued on with her answer. [Annette]: "Ahem... As I was saying. It also give me some sense of protection and privacy, also it's really comfortable!" She was smiling cheerfully as she was explaining. "The only downside is that it can be really hot in that part of the year!"
Orange nodded once again. He seems satisfied with the answer. Wait, any answers should be fine. Why is she explaining everything like this is some interview...
[Orange]: "Oh, I guess it's really convenient"
[Annette]: "It is!"
Alice was sitting there listening to the whole conversation, she was being polite trying not to interrupt something. Annette noticed this and thought she was feeling left out.
[Annette]: "Big sis, sorry for being clingy with your boyfriend! I was trying to mess with you and I hope it doesn't ruin your relationship or anything!"
Alice face reddened when she heard "boyfriend". She wasn't expecting to be teased this way.
[Alice]: "B-b-b-boyfriend?! N-no it's-"
Orange stepped in the conversation in an attempt to clear things up. Yeah, Alice and him are close, many would assume they were dating or whatever but they are only friends and Orange is comfortable with it.
[Orange] "Anne, you see... Me and Alice, we aren't-"
Alice spoke, cutting his sentence off, she is holding her red face, there are steams coming out from her head, she is embarrassed but seems to enjoy the thought of being a couple.
[Alice]: "Orange? My boyfriend? That doesn't sound so bad... Ahehehe... I wouldn't mind if you ask me out on a date right now, although we are already on one, ahehehe..." She is lost in her own thoughts, she doesn't even realize what she is saying anymore.
Annette nodded. [Annette]: "Ohhh! I see! You guys are already on a date! That explains why you were so mad when I was clinging on to him! I'm really sorry big sis!"
Orange sighed deeply. He hold his hand and look up, praying once again.
[Orange]: "Oh sweet world, I wouldn't complain if an earthquake strikes right now-"
The ground begun to shake violently, the sound of glass breaking, people screaming and the distant yet close rumbling of building collapsing and bricks falling down can be heard from all directions.
The two girls shut their eyes and holds each other close, Alice covering Annette with her body. Both of them were calm about it in this situation, because they knew panicking won't do good. They can be smart some time.
Orange hold onto the table. A sweat broke down from him as he look around.
[Orange]:"Wh- what?! This can't be real... I WAS ONLY JOKING!"
