Solo Swordmaster

#765 Because the time has come.

* * *

It was a strange sight.

A waterfall cascades down the surface of a building made of golden parts.

A floating train moves along a track made of entangled tree roots.

The petals that were scattered on the screen come out and run down the road.

An octopus spirit feeds the fish swimming in the canal, and a spider-like spirit picks fruits on the rooftop overgrown with fruit trees.

It is harmonious for being artificial.

Nature is mysterious.

Fantastic for inceragi.

A golden city where all kinds of buildings and natural environment are naturally harmonized.

The sight was so beautiful and so bizarre that it made me feel as if I was seeing a dream or a scene from another world.

No, in a sense it was an exact fact.

This is the world, but not the world.

It is the home of all spirits.

land of fairies.

Because that was the fairy kingdom of El Dorado.

In particular, in that it has maintained seclusion while being closed for the past 500 years, this place is literally a foreign country.

It was the most mysterious city in the world, free from royalties.

[…Whoa.]

In that sense, at this moment.

The procession through the middle of the city was indeed heterogeneous.

Especially in that one blue bird is looking around the city with the eyes shining brightest among the procession.

[I don’t think I’ll have any regrets even if I die…]

“Is it that good?”

[sure. This is the Fairy Kingdom. The Fairy Kingdom! It is the headquarters and headquarters of the Spirit Sentai!]

[Look over there! It’s the smelter used by the smelting spirit to make a new machine during the 12th ‘Ironman of Resurrection’!] [

Ah, there’s also a maintenance spirit from the 7th period!]

I was so excited.

Seeing Yuna-kyung flapping her wings on her shoulder, Limon smiled.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

The Fairy Kingdom is the first place even Limon has been to.

Even more so, for Yu Na-gyeong, a fan of the Spirit Sentai, this Eldorado must have been a tourist destination she wanted to visit even in her dreams.

‘Hmm.’

But at this very moment.

It was not this city that attracted Limon’s attention.

They were the beauties who moved their boat from the gates to this place.

‘I’ve heard of it from Shirg hag, but… it’s really beyond my imagination.’

Of course, it was not an evaluation of beauty.

What kind of beings are these beauties who resemble humans but are clearly different from humans?

I couldn’t take my eyes off them all the more because I could feel it through the sword master’s sensitive senses.

“…I know that the owner’s house is a woman, but why don’t you look at it in moderation?”

Is it because the gaze was too blatant?

Limon put on a strange expression at the words of the maid, who grabbed the wheelchair and shot at him sharply.

“Well, it seems like you’re the only one who cares about my gaze here, right?”

“You don’t really care about your master, do you? I’m just saying this out of concern for the ladies who will be offended by the master.”

“So that means you don’t have to worry about it.”

Whether you actually see it or not.

Limon murmurs as he sees the beauties who are silently devoting themselves to driving the boat.

When Charlotte looks at him like that, she makes an expression as if she is looking at the trash of the world.

The aqueduct has changed.

Chow.

[Huh?]

What kind of magic did he use?

The trail of the waterfall pouring from the building is bent.

While flowing water defies gravity and soars.

The boat continued to glide along the waterway created in the air.

Even in this golden city, towards the great tower at the very center half made of wood and half of machine.

Sigh.

The top floor of the tower opens.

Let the ship dock at the open dock.

Only then did the beauties who had been piloting the ship look back at Limon.

“We are here.”

“Follow the road as it is.”

“The palace where the queen is is at the end.”

“Please have a comfortable time.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Just like when I first saw him, he spoke quietly and nodded to the beauties who respectfully bowed their backs.

Limon winked at Charlotte who was behind him.

“What are you doing, you idiot? Let’s go.”

“Why don’t you just walk by yourself? I don’t need to camouflage anymore anyway.”

“Then I can’t pamper you.”

“…You really have a great personality, Master.”

Despite frowning on her arrogance, Charlotte eventually pushed Limon’s wheelchair.

Get off the boat like that.

leaving the pier behind.

At the end of a quiet walk along the road beside the babbling waterway.

The moment they arrived in front of a huge door made of gold filling a wide aisle.

Ugh.

A strange sound rings out.

The golden door opens softly.

What appeared was a lake with clear water.

The scenery of the lake, which is so wide that you can not see the end at the top of such a high tower, is so mysterious that it feels unrealistic.

But Limondo.

Charlotte too.

Yuna Kyungdo.

I couldn’t help but admire the scenery.

For there was something that caught their attention before this wide lake.

A strange throne made of vines and wires intertwined between the roots of a giant tree towering over the lake’s center.

sit on that throne

with a stick in hand.

in a thin dress.

eyes closed as if asleep.

A little too small to be a beauty, but too beautiful and noble to be a girl.

No, to be precise, that strange atmosphere made it impossible for others, even Limon, to take their eyes off her.

Squeak.

Could it be that he felt the presence?

Or is it because the time has come?

As if waking up from a long sleep, his eyelashes fluttered.

Slowly opening her eyelids, she captured their images in her eyes as deep and clear as a lake.

“welcome.”

Wings as thin as a butterfly.

Poisonous long pointed ears.

Even compared to the beauties who guided them to this place, a more beautiful and more heterogeneous existence.

As the owner of this fairy kingdom since the beginning of human civilization, he is the first absolute ruler in history who has ruled over all spirits.

An immortal who has lived longer than the gods.

The Fairy Queen looked at them and opened her pink lips.

“Adversaries of the stars who will fulfill our long-cherished wish.”

* * *

Gulp.

Yuna-kyung swallowed.

I’ve been teasing anyone with my beak so far.

The atmosphere of the Fairy Queen was so deep and mysterious that even she couldn’t speak easily.

Is it the same for Charlotte?

In silence with a hard face.

In the end, the first to speak was, of course, Limon, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

“Lemon Aspelder, the last disciple of the Sword Emperor, greets the noblest monarch in the world.”

[Heh?]

Yuna-kyung opened her beak wide.

Except for when he was disguising his identity, Limon had never been treated with respect in his life.

It was the first time I had ever seen him take such a polite attitude.

“Blue, you are blind. What are you doing without saying hello?”

[yes? Ah, greetings?]

“…”

After being urged by Limon, Yuna-kyung bowed her head on her shoulder, and Charlotte slightly lifted the hem of her maid uniform to greet them.

Looking at those three visitors.

The Fairy Queen gently shook her head.

“There is no need to be formal. You are not my people.”

“There is no reason to ignore the example.”

[…manager? Where did you get your head hurt?]

Limon neatly ignored what Yuna-kyung said with a bizarre expression.

Of course, if the Fairy Queen were just an ordinary absolute being, no matter how long she had lived, she wouldn’t have been so formal.

All the more because he calls Syr a granny and doesn’t hesitate to beat even the gods.

However, there was a crucial difference between the Fairy Queen and the other immortals.

It is…

“Be careful with your words, Blue. Because His Majesty is a person who deserves respect from all mankind.”

[Qualifications?]

“Yes.”

nodding slightly.

Everyone knows Limon.

However, he calmly pointed out a fact that is easy to forget because it is so obvious.

“Because you are the one who protected and cared for humanity, which would have been no wonder even if it went extinct in the distant past.”

After starting a religious war to gain more faith, the god who drove the world into chaos and was destroyed by the seven dragons.

Sir, who was called the Demon King and tried to conquer the world but failed and was sealed.

Although they were strong and lived a long time, they did not deserve Limon’s respect.

But the Fairy Queen was different.

In the past, the spirits of the golden age took care of mankind, but that grace was bestowed upon the spirits.

Nevertheless, the reason why their grace was able to reach all mankind was because of the Fairy Queen’s will.

In addition, after a long time passed, mankind became self-reliant and incarnations appeared.

Instead of arguing with the gods, she summoned the spirits to the fairy kingdom and descended from the position of the absolute on her own.

As a human, regardless of age or status, it was natural for Limon to pay homage to the Fairy Queen.

Rather, because of the delicate relationship with the Seven Dragons, it is only regretful that he is finally able to meet the Fairy Queen.

But right after that.

Limon had to make a subtle expression.

“Thank you for your words, but I also want you to be comfortable with the words. Especially you swordsman.”

“Are you uncomfortable with my respect?”

“Very good.”

“…”

Looking at Limon, who fell silent at the positive affirmation, the Fairy Queen smiled quietly.

And one more word.

“I am your fan.”

“Did you say fan…?”

“yes. Of all the human beings I have observed, there is no one as peculiar as you.”

“…”

“I still watch the video from time to time when he broke his boastful swordsmanship with his swordsmanship and even shaved off his mantle with his twin lust.”

“…do you have the video?”

“The spirit who was watching the place just took a picture and sent it to me.”

Limon, who had been silent at the unexpected words in many ways, opened his mouth with a sigh after a long time.

“If you are uncomfortable with my respect, I will speak more comfortably.”

“I still feel a bit distant…”

“But that doesn’t mean I can’t treat you like the grandmother next door.”

“Oh, that’s nice too.”

“…”

“Even if I look like this, I’m confident in playing the role of a fairy grandma who gives presents to good children.”

“….”

“In that sense, could you sign an autograph for me?”

That’s awesome.

Yuna-kyung thought sincerely.

It was the first time Limon had such an embarrassed expression.

Well, in the first place, it was also the first time someone treated Limon as a ‘good kid’.

The Fairy Queen, who finally got Limon’s autograph, smiled.

“Thank you for the autograph.”

“It is not something to be thanked for.”

“If you are respectful again, the fairy grandma will be sad…”

“…It’s not a big deal.”

I didn’t know that flatness could be so uncomfortable.

The fairy queen said lightly to Limon, who swallowed a sigh at the first experience in his long life.

“Anyway, I am very grateful to you, Limon.”

“You don’t have to worry about the cause of death… there isn’t.”

“Thank you for that, but more than that, thanks to you coming here, the ‘time’ has finally come.”

“…?”

what else do you mean

To Limon who is puzzled.

The Fairy Queen said calmly.

“You don’t have to think hard. It’s just time to tell you the whole truth, the protector of mankind.”

“…Is there a truth I need to know?”

“There are surprisingly many.”

slowly.

But without hesitation.

The Fairy Queen nodded and slightly lifted her head to stare into the air.

“The truth you must know to prevent future disasters from coming to this world.”

how long will it be

talking about this fact.

I could only give Plato a word.

I couldn’t even do that to others.

A story that could only be told to one being from the Golden Age until now.

The Fairy Queen finally spoke.

“But perhaps the most important of these are two.”

“…”

“One is what a constellation is.”

32 years ago.

suddenly appear in the world

A being that gives players strength.

constellation.

What is the identity and purpose of those who are more mysterious than God, and why he, the protector of mankind, should be wary of them.

“And another one…”

Excluding the constellations.

only you know

Limon must know.

The world’s most important secret.

The fairy queen opened her mouth with a subtle smile.

“What is the Seven Arcs you are guarding?”
