“They did it!” Murasakiiro cried out, causing everyone else around her to cheer. “Now, all we have to do is teleport them back.”

After a while, Bridget, Midoricha, and Gurenji walked out of the portal and greeted everyone.

“Welcome back, you guys.” The Princess greeted.

“Good to see you again.” Benjamin and Sebastian greeted Bridget.

Bridget gasped upon seeing the two. “Whoa, what are you two doing here?”

“Well, it’s a long story...” Sebastian replied, scratching the back of his head.

“And we don’t have time for that,” Benjamin added.

“That’s right; we have to save the Queen!” Bridget exclaimed.

And so they worked together on getting the cure done. Bridget sprinkled in little bits of the red plant into the bowl. She had ground it up while the Pilkons had left to get the other ingredients.

They came back and plopped them into the bowl. Sebastian used a spoon to stir the concoction and a knife to chop them into little bits at the same time. Finally, Benjamin created fire under the bowl to boil the contents.

With the cure finished, Murasakiiro informed Bridget, who held the bowl, to place it beside the bed. Sebastian and Benjamin, meanwhile, picked the Queen up and gently dipped her into the container where the cure resided.

After following orders, they simmered down and waited for the Queen to show some change. The group heard coughing and groaning coming from the bowl.

“What?” A female voice questioned weakly.

Princess Murasakiiro gasped. “Oh, Mother, you’re alive!”

The Queen opened her beige-colored eyes and looked at her daughter, smiling with tears in her eyes.

“Oh, Murasakiiro, thank you, and I’m so sorry I made you worry.” The Queen replied.

She got out of the bowl and hugged her daughter while the others watched them with delight.

“You have these guys to thank for that,” Gurenji stated proudly. “They’re her Highness’ friends, and they’re the ones who got the cure for you.”

I see. The Queen thought for a moment before turning to the rest of the group, “In that case, thank you, everyone.”

“Don’t mention it.” Clause replied, looking away.

“You wanted to go to your world and save it, correct?”

That voice. Benjamin thought as he could have sworn he’d heard it somewhere before, recently, but where?

“Yes, but how did you know?” Sebastian asked.

“It’s rather complicated.” The peach Pilkon responded, “But never underestimate the powers of a Pilkon.”

“She is the Queen.” The Princess added rather proudly.

“So, if everyone is ready to go, then I shall fulfill your promises and”

“Hey, wait!” Benjamin interrupted.

“What is it, sir?”

“I... I would like you to summon some of our friends here if possible.”

“Sure thing. Who exactly do you have in mind?”

“Just two people... Isabelle and Nicholas.”

“All right, here I go.”
