[Due to the effects of the [Revered Figure] Title, you have acquired 20% of these Title effects even without equipping them.]
Ooh, this is insanely interesting- but wait a second am I the only one that has it?! What?!
Ah… W-Well, whatever, I just have to… get used to it, just like the other insane things already happening in my life.
It is nothing much when you put that into perspective.
Aside from that, I also got a new Equipment, an amazing new Crown… I guess I can replace the already existing one with this new one. It looks way more fancier. I have barely really cared much about my own equipment while playing for a while, but maybe I could set in motion a plan to make something new, I am still wearing a few items that were still there at the beginning.
And-
Ding!
[Player Planta] has completed a [World’s Chapter] of the [Chronicles of the World, Volume 3], [Chapter 7: The Fairy Queen’s Regrets]!]
W-Wait, there’s more things?!
[The World rapidly advances; the threat of the Dark Demon King of Miasma is slowly reseeding!]
[Player Planta] has dealt direct damage to the Dark Demon King of Miasma!]
[The Dark Demon King of Miasma has lost 20% of its total HP!]
[The Dark Demon King screams in agony!]
[A new [World’s Chapter] has begun!]
Hold up, are we really going to do this again?!
“Last time I did this, I dealt 10% of his HP, but now 20%?! How many HP does he has left?!”
I was panicking, as everyone around me also saw the announcement.
“This again?” Titan asked in surprise.
“Wow, what’s with this?” Achlys wondered.
“Ah! I am a Player now?! I can see some weird imagery everywhere! I-Is this what a Player is being all about?” Nieve wondered curiously.
Indeed, everybody seemed to have seen it, I have really just done it again without even realizing! Is the World Boss premade so it can only be defeated correctly by completing special quests that “move the world forward” or something?!
“P-Planta, this is honestly pretty amazing.” Said Titan.
“Yeah…” Achlys praised me as well.
“A-Anyways, let’s just not think about it for now, I really don’t want to… Can’t we evolve now though?” I wondered.
“Oh yeah, we can, but evolving in this place seems a bit weird, maybe we should go back to the Fairy Kingdom and do it in there where it is more comfortable.” Said Titan.
“Why? Does it take time?” Asked Achlys.
“A bit, usually a few minutes, according to what I’ve researched.” Said Titan.
“Huh, I see… Well, let’s get going then, Planta!” Rita ran to my side and hugged me from behind.
“You really make good friends of Titania over there! She must be madly in love with you now!” She giggled.
“L-Love?! Rita I don’t swing that way, geez!” I sighed while blushing a bit.
“Well, it is said that Queen Titania was in love with Hero Lucious in the past. But she was never able to truly confess her feelings to him.” Sighed Nieve. “I am a fairly young Fairy so that’s what I’ve heard from the oldest ones.”
“Hm, I do recall that our former lord was also in love with her. But he always said that she was someone unreachable…” Sighed Sporegon. “He said that she was someone that had lived too long to care for a young man such as him.”
“Oh… Now that I hear that I can only get sadder…” I sighed.
Lucious was… well, we had to defeat his reanimated body, which was another event that helped us dealing damage at the World Boss. I remember that when he was defeated, he felt at peace and passed away just fine… I suppose the chance for him to ever have shared his feelings with the Queen are long gone.
Ugh, I wish I could had done something now… It makes me sad when these endings happen in novels, where both predestined end up not together due to the cruel twists of fate.
“Well, I am sure that the soul of your former lord is resting in peace now, Sporegon.” Nieve said with a smile.
“Hm, I do agree to that, Lady Nieve.” Said Sporegon. “Our Lady has sent him to the afterworld at peace. It is one of the reasons why we follow her, we saw him before being revived as summons after all.”
“How interesting… You guys should really talk more with the Queen, maybe you could share more anecdotes about Lucious to her.” Said Nieve. “I am sure that you would help her smile from time to time.”
“Hmm…” Hunter muttered. “I guess we could try.”
“She seems indeed quite unreachable to us. Our Lady is very special so it is easy for her to get closer to such a great figure as her.” Said Alice.
“But for us she’s quite… intimidating in presence.” Sighed Magius. ．
“Oh, come on! Queen Titania is an incredibly nice person, don’t be shy.” Nieve said.
As everyone talked cheerfully, we slowly made our way back to the surface.
I gave a last look at the cave where the Snake Queen perished, as I felt slightly sad.
“Thank you… For giving me a last chance to say my goodbyes to Titania…”
Suddenly, I heard a voice resonated within the cave.
“Eh? Who…?”
However, nothing else could be heard after that.
Was that Saphee?
I hope she can rest in peace…
