To become a king and a magician

It was a beam of light that came from an unknown place, as if it appeared suddenly, as if it appeared without warning. In that instant, I, who was utterly worthless, saw the light; I, who was utterly empty, saw the light.

I saw the most dazzling light.

I saw the most beautiful light.

Then, the emptiness within me gave rise to desire, and the attraction to the light gave rise to desire.

I want to see that light again.

I want to see that light again.

For the first time since its birth, for the first time in ten thousand years.

The empty corpse (self) gave rise to intellect (desire).

Therefore, the decaying body came to life, the dormant body awoke, and sent out a [call] to the outside world, a [call] to that light.

All I need is that light, that's all I need. I don't need anything else, as long as I can see that light again.

I would do anything to let myself, who has no desires and no value, see that extremely beautiful starlight again.

That's what I think.

Then...

"Snapped!"

He had been calling out to himself for countless years in the dark swamp.

I, who have waited for countless years in a world that is empty.

Without warning, just like 3,600 years ago, I suddenly saw it again without any preparation.

"Light......"

The dragon fairy, as beautiful as the aurora borealis, opened her eyes in Natsukawa Torato's arms, like a newborn baby, and awkwardly uttered these words.

It is light.

It was that sudden light that illuminated her world 3,600 years ago.

"beauty......"

As if yearning, its hands seemed to reach out to grasp the light, its body to embrace it. The dragon fairy stretched out its hands as far as it could towards the radiance in its eyes, its body slowly moving closer.

finally--

"Well!"

My lips felt a slightly cool sensation.

Natsukawa Tora, who had just pulled the Dragon Fairy out of the swamp, was stunned when he saw the girl suddenly hug him tightly and then forcefully kiss him.

"Mmm~~~~ Pop!"

He forcefully pulled the girl off him, who seemed glued to him, and lifted her up with one hand: "W-What's going on? You just suddenly kissed me..."

"like!"

The Dragon Fairy stared at Natsukawa Torato and said this.

"Light! I love it!"

"Aha?"

Natsukawa Torato pointed to himself: "Hikari... you mean me?"

The dragon fairy nodded forcefully, with tremendous force, "Yes! Light! Beautiful! I like it!"

"..."

Isn't there something wrong with this orchid?

Is this what the newly fished orchid looks like?

(No, that's not right. Originally, Yaolan was rescued by Aurora about a thousand years later. If I rescued her a thousand years earlier... then Yaolan is premature now?)

In terms of appearance, it is not much different from the demon orchid that Natsukawa Torama knows, but it seems that its language function has not been fully evolved, or it may not have learned human language yet.

No, compared to that, Yao Lan's attitude towards me is the strangest!

"Melushin, you—"

"Melushin?" The dragon fairy tilted her head cutely. "Me? Melushin? My name?"

"Ah...uh...um...yes, your name is Melusin."

(I forgot to mention, she didn't have a name when she was first pulled out of the water; Melusin was the name Aurora gave her...)

"Melushin, Melushin, Melushin..."

Holding Natsukawa Torama in his arms, Meluxin repeated her name over and over again, then revealed a smile that could melt Natsukawa Torama's heart: "I like this name, Meluxin, it's the name you gave me, thank you, beautiful light, I like you the most."

"......"

To put it bluntly, Natsukawa Tora is a scumbag, a super scumbag who's been cheating on nearly twenty women.

But even he was now being so openly expressed with love by a girl whose mind and body were no different from a loli...

(If my family found out, I'd definitely be sentenced to death, right?)

Although he won't die.

"By the way... does 'beautiful light' refer to me? Why do you call me that? Do you know me?"

"Yes! I've known you for three thousand six hundred years! I know you are a beautiful star! For these three thousand six hundred years, I have been looking forward to seeing you again, and I have been calling for your arrival!"

Three thousand six hundred years ago, the light of the star...

(Could it be the Holy Sword? But 3,600 years ago... Could it be that when Morgan performed the spirit transfer, it affected not only Ash but also this place?)

Judging from the situation, this is the only explanation we can come up with; there are no other explanations.

(I'll discuss this with Ash later.)

Looking at Melisin hanging on his hand, Natsukawa Torama said, "Melisin, could you take it off my hand first? It's a little heavy... Also, my name is [Natsukawa Torama], not [Beautiful Light].

"Natsukawa Tora. Hmm, got it."

Jumping off Natsukawa Tora's hand, Melosin took his hand and said, "I like you, Natsukawa Tora."

"..."

It's over.

I don't know why, although I don't know why, but now Xia Chuanhu feels that he... may be about to embark on a path of carnage.

(Melsen is so cute.)

43. Lovers and wives are different species.

Just as Natsukawa Tora pulled Melousin out of the swamp.

On the Mirror Clan's side.

Led by several fairies, Ash met the patriarch of the Mirror Clan, Einzel, again after a hundred years.

"It's been a century, my savior."

Einser, still looking like a young girl, bowed deeply to Ash in greeting.

Among the six fairy clans, Eincel is the only clan chief who would bow to Ash in this way. This is also because the Mirror Clan, like the Rain Clan which has already been destroyed, is a clan that is willing to acknowledge the sins of its ancestors. The Mirror Clan, from top to bottom, holds pure respect for Ash who came to ask them to atone for their sins.

"Has your visit to our city this time also been for the sake of the [prophecy]?"

Ash nodded: "Yes, thank you for your help this time, Einser."

"—Tell me where the next calamity will occur."

The location and time of the calamity.

This is why the clan of Qin came to Jing.

Although Ash would awaken before the calamity occurred, it wasn't that she sensed the calamity, but rather that she could feel a premonition, like some kind of intuition. Even during her slumber, Ash could vaguely sense the impending calamity.

However, he could only sense it; he didn't know where or when the calamity would occur.

That's why we need to rely on the prophecy of the Mirror Clan Chief.

This was a secret agreement reached between Ash and Einser a thousand years ago, unknown to the other five clans, not even to Tetrot and Hector.

After all, if word got out that the Mirror Clan was providing assistance to the fairies of Paradise, the Mirror Clan would inevitably become the enemy of most of the fairies on the island of Britain, suffering the same fate as the Rain Clan.

Therefore, contact with Einstein is one of Ash's biggest secrets.

"I understand, please wait a moment."

After accepting Ash's request as always, Einser closed his eyes, sat quietly and entered into meditation, and devoted himself to thinking about the future of the calamity.

Based on past experience, calamities usually occur within five to ten years, which is a relatively long time for ordinary humans, but to fairies, this amount of time makes no difference.

Einstein's prophecy did not last long; he opened his eyes again just seconds later.

"Six years later. The location is Lentinion."

"Lentinion?"

Ash frowned: "Why that of all places?"

For the Fairy Kingdom and Ash, Lentinion is a very important place.

You must know that this place is crucial to whether humans and fairies can live in peace, and it is an important location that determines whether Britain's future can be saved.

Why is it that disasters happen in that particular place?

"I don't know about that. The prophecy didn't give such detailed results, which is always the case. You should have known that already."

"Yes, of course I know."

The cause of the calamity is the curse of Kornunos beneath the Great Hollow. Its location is completely random and has no discernible pattern. Its appearance in Lentinion this time can only be described as bad luck.

"Thank you, Einser. With six more years, I can prepare for the calamity as I always have."

“No need for thanks, Savior. This is merely our insignificant act of atonement,” Einser said sincerely. “If it can help you, that would be all I could do.”

"However, I think this calamity will be the easiest to resolve in history, after all, Britain now has two saviors."
