I walk towards the hall of the castle with hasten strides.
A week has passed now…
The Astlan Castle feels a little empty. Might it be because of the on-going revitalization of the center continent?
That must be it. Violetta has taken command of all the forces here and Ishtal is the only one working now for the papers.
Ashfon Astlan Lionheart is still not here, my adoptive brother. Violetta told me that he is still in a coma but soon, he will awaken.
I think I am really not cut out for a frilly dress but even so, I am forced to wear one if I ever show my face to the mass. As the alleged sister of Fonfon, I am to be the representative for the mass to see in absence of the king.
I understand that but mannerism and etiquette aside, I don’t have much knack for gatherings.
Currently, the Elven Kingdom, the Land of Greenwoods, and Dwarven Kingdom, The Mountain Range of Metal, are still in an unmovable state because both nations are pointing swords at each other’s throat.
The Beast Kingdom, The Thousand Island, are participating with transport with their ships and assisting with supplies, mostly for food. King Folga also announced that soon, he will step down from the throne and someone has to take over.
The Dragon Kingdom, The Valley of the Ancients are undergoing reformation and rebuilding of its own nation for the reason they have lost their emperor. Currently, they are seeking companionship with the fairies as they are doing everything they can to stand up again.
The Rainforest of Healing, the land where the Fairies reside and where Senya’s mansion can be found is as peaceful as ever. Since they had the most minimal damage from the Double Crisis which consists of the flooding and falling, they started helping cleansing the Center Continent.
Lastly, the Demon Kingdom, the Land of Magic Gathering, has entered transactions with the Beast Kingdom and Dragon Kingdom for resources to recover from the famine. They have also gained access to build their city in the center continent when the cleansing finishes.
Everyone is so busy…
Casablanca and Hibiscus returned to their mother. That’s what needed to happen after all. The two then started studying about politics and became even more open-minded of everything. They even started doing diplomatic works.
Higanbana…though still a little worn-out, started prying on the matters of economic resources of her Kingdom with her mother’s backing and started making Contract and deals under the approval of King Folga.
Gria Hellbeing is busy reconstructing and reorganizing the Devil Kingdom’s council and removed all unneeded people. With his wife’s help, they also started transporting construction materials again to the center continent and enriching the lives of their people. It seems they plan to expand their territory through Priscilla’s permission.
Diyu informed me that Cattleya will be staying with Priscilla as she still can get over the fact that Susanoo is still missing and nowhere to be found. Diyu on the other hand also started diplomatic relations to bring food resources to her own kingdom as the people need to eat something.

They are slowly bouncing back from their past tragedies.
Topaz and Mimi are currently at Senya’s place. It was Senya who suggested it since Topaz is a rare case because she is a devil and her existence alone may cause mayhem. Mimi is bound with Topaz not because she wanted but because Topaz won’t let her go anywhere.
The two seems to be so attached to each other.
Merissa and her crew disappeared. The last thing I heard of them is that they are sailing the seas of the Beast Kingdom. Though they are still a merry bunch and such, they seem to ransack some places.
Pr’thcor and the ancient dragons started digging the Lost Capital Hujinn from the ground. It seems that they want to raise a new flag for the glory of the dragons, however, they are being strictly supervised by Priscilla.
Mito, Rose, Mana, Dreg, and Ruri, the remains of the heroes, are now staying with Senya too as her mansion is an ideal place to stay for now. Shouko, on the other hand, is temporarily staying here at Astlan Castle.
Ichirou is now traveling places together with Hasu in search for the one who took Shouko’s soul. The matter about it is still not yet fixed. Not to mention, as soon as everything was settled, Hydrangea and Dylan disappeared without a trace.
Report said that some of the Order of Arcana also helped in destroying the meteors all around the places. However, since then, I haven’t heard anything from Nil or any of them.
But, I am certain that we broke the curse of Revision.
We prevented Erestivatria from crashing on this planet.
As I look out of the window, the red moon that used to be bright and round has now a huge blown part, as if it turned into a crescent moon.
It was done by power unimaginable to anyone…
“Nirvana Ascension…”
I muttered the words that triggered an event where another Divine was birthed from my power. It was an entity that was able to do that to the red moon, devastating power that pushed it back so hard that it destroyed most of it.
I have vague memories after that and last of what I saw me and Alstroe, we were falling…
Revision will not occur anymore. The heavy feeling in my chest was blown away and now, I feel like we have reached something, a checkpoint.
Yes…a checkpoint…
Because as long as Nil still keeps secret from me, I am still unsatisfied and there’s a matter between him and me.
Anyway…I can’t believe that we reached that kind of power…a power that enabled Alstroe to destroy Erestivatria, a power that let her defeat the Devil Joker in an instant, and power undefeated by Arcana magic.
All of it feels like they happened in a flash but a little hazy…
No matter…
Right now, I march towards my room.
Ah, I’m already here…
I face the door and heave a huge sigh as if I am preparing my heart. I put my hand on the doorknob and slowly turn it…
Right in that very instant, a girl inside my room instantly smile as bright as day.
She immediately drops the book she was reading and run towards me with small stride.
The girl who is smaller than me, a girl who looks like seven years old…
With a silver hair and pretty yellow eyes with bright and happy personality, she happily run towards me with arms outstretched for a hug.
“Asagao!~”
“Oooff!”
She jumps right into my bosom and I caught her with my arms to support her weight.
“Please don’t do that…”
“Eeeeh?”
“Alstroe…you just turned smaller but that doesn’t mean you have to act like seven years old, you know.”
“But I really like it! I love it when you catch me like that! Ehehehe!~”
Ahhh…so cute…
Yeah…
One more problem is that…
Alstroe shrunk and became smaller than me…she became younger… a bite-size Alstroemeria…
I don’t know what caused it…but…I like it!
“Carry me!”
“Geez…I ought to spoil you because I turned you like that?”
“Yes!”
Without any resistance, I carried Alstroe in my arms and wrestle her in the bed as I throw her there!
I started tickling her!
“Ah! Not there! Ahahaha! Asagao! No! Ahahahaha!”
“Take that! And that!”
It was really fun.
But…
I just wish…
This fun time never ends…
I just hope…
Because in the back of my mind, I know that there is something I needed to do. That there is something I needed to know.
That there’s something between me and Nil that needs to end…
