Chapter 317 – ?Work – Weekend in Magicka Realm
The long-awaited weekend has arrived and Venus can go on the outing of her dreams.
Cruel to say, Agrippa’s memory was never wrong.
Venus, who spent most of his childhood in a detached palace and had to live in an academy by the time puberty came, was able to come to a place he had never been to for the first time in his life her.
“Princess, lady. We have arrived at Magicka Kingdom.”
“Thank you, Mr. Ceres. You’ve done a great job since the academy.”
His blue-haired Mana she exuded a grown-up air and bowed her head to Ceres, who was far below her.
Holding Venus ‘hand her, she naturally hoped that Venus would also greet Ceres.
“…Ceres won’t follow me anyway?”
“But you couldn’t rest on the weekend and came with us! Venus!”
“……Ceres doesn’t rest on weekends…?”
At Venus’ words to her, Mana looked shocked, but Ceres gave her a grown-up smile.
“I’m fine. Madam. Just being able to support the beautiful princess by her side makes me feel great happiness.”
Ceres, who touched the hairpin Jupiter had gifted him to position him well, knelt down and opened the door of the carriage.
“Today, don’t worry about me and have fun with Mana-sama. Princess. Of course, I’m going to stand in the back.”
At Ceres’ words, Venus nodded and pulled Mana’s hand her to signify that she should go outside.
“Yes, then let’s get off Venus!”
It was a pity that Arisa was gone, but he had a lot to learn and know about Arisa, who was scheduled to become a count in the future.
“Whoa…”
Ceres, who had a motherly smile on her face, cautiously followed the two young girls as they jumped off the carriage.
“…The Magicka Kingdom has changed a lot too.”
After spitting out words that conveyed various emotions, Ceres looked around.
The place where the princess’ carriage was parked was the capital of Magicka Kingdom, and it was near the huge castle where her queen lived.
She could have entered the castle, but she decided to walk slowly from here because Mana, who invited her here, wanted to show Venus the streets of her kingdom her.
“Aren’t you Mana?”
Greeting Mana and Venus, who had just got off the carriage, were knights of the Magicka Kingdom with sparkling armor and white wings on their backs.
“Oh, hello Mr. Guilford. How was your day?”
“Haha, of course. Thanks to the queen, my legs are healthy too.”
The knight smiled with a good smile, greeted her once, and then stepped back as if it were okay to go to Mana.
“Hmm… I’ve studied hard about the Magicka Kingdom…”
Venus coughed lightly, at least Mana’s mother didn’t know what she was doing, so she didn’t want to stand there stupidly.
Although she may not be able to speak about magic as fluently as Arisa, she wanted to be evaluated as a girl who would have no shortage as the heir to rule the empire where the sun never sets in the future.
“Is it true that Madolce Magicka is your mother and the queen of this kingdom, Magicka Kingdom?”
“Yeah, right! You remember me well! Venus?”
“Sir, I’m sure you only remember this. I heard that your mother did a lot of innovative research and was of great help to the empire. In particular, the use of magic tools using magic stones is something you would never have dreamed of without your mother. It’s a story…”
Venus struggled to tell the story she had heard from Ceres.
Does this seem like enough common sense? Wanting to, she glanced at Ceres.
“…”
Ceres praised Venus with a nod of her head without her words her.
“Hey, isn’t Venus smart as well?”
“How could that be… I’m not as smart as Arisa and I can’t use magic as well as Mana.”
“But Venus is stronger than me. Can’t we win even if we fight the knights over there?”
Mana pointed her finger at the knights standing near a fountain spouting water with beautiful lights.
Their number was quite large, and the man on the podium was shouting something loudly, but Venus couldn’t hear it.
The only thing that caught my eye was the fact that I was an ‘adult’.
“What… I don’t know if I can win…”
“My mother said that everyone has one thing they are good at. Just like I am good at using magic, Venus is good at something.”
“Umm… But first of all, since I’m a girl, isn’t it a bit strange to be praised for being good at using power?”
“How popular is Hailey sunbaenim!”
At Mana’s words her, Venus nodded her head while thinking that that’s not the case.
The two continued to walk through the bustling capital of the Magicka Kingdom with bright smiles.
“Whoa…”
Venus, who was still young, was unfamiliar with everything he saw.
“Mana, mana. What on earth are the shops over there selling?”
“It’s a place that sells various magic tools. Shall I show you one?”
Mana took Venus’ hand her and entered her shop without hesitation.
Inside was a woman wearing a witch’s hat, and she smiled as if she recognized the face of Mana, who in the distant future would rule this country.
“Oh, isn’t it, Mana-sama? Welcome. There are many new magic tools created this time.”
“Hello. We’ll look around for a while and then go.”
As soon as Mana spoke her words of her, she took Venus by the hand as she looked around and began to show her merchandise her.
“This magical tool can continuously create sparks by flicking your fingers. And this one can be attached to clothes and washed cleanly by rubbing.”
“Oh… It must be quite convenient for Ceres to use it.”
“Yes! And the magic tools here are…”
Seeing Mana excitedly lifting them up one by one and explaining them, Ceres smiled lightly.
‘Actually, it’s not very efficient, so it’s probably something only adventurers use…”
If you rub a magic tool the size of a coin with your thumb, you can really clean your clothes, but you can’t continue to use it.
She had to continuously consume her mana of her, and even if her mana of her was infinite, there was a limit to the number of times the magic tool itself could be used per day.
While Ceres was thinking about that, Mana and Venus grabbed a strange object and lifted it up.
“…Ah, Princess.”
“Huh? Ceres, what’s wrong with you?”
“That’s… It’s a tool used to massage the shoulders.”
Speaking in a very urgent and urgent voice, Ceres glanced at the woman standing at the counter.
“Of course~ When it comes to massaging your shoulders, there is nothing like that magic tool.”
“Then I’ll have to give Mama one as a present.”
“…Ah, the empress…”
Rolling her eyes slightly to the side, Ceres thought about what to do with this, then gave up.
“I think you’ll be delighted.”
Since Ceres answered like this, Venus grabbed the magic tool and handed it to Ceres, saying that she would of course buy it as a gift.
“Ah! That’s right. Venus! There’s a store across here full of super cute animals! Do you want to go?”
“Yes! Let’s go!”
Venus answered with an excited voice and ran out with Mana.
Just as Mana had said, there were many kinds of animals in the white fenced shop.
Strangely enough, they all had wings on their backs, but of course there were cats and dogs, as well as sheep that looked fluffy even from afar, and small dragons that looked like they would one day look great.
“…There are a lot of pretty strange animals.”
Venus, who usually stains her dress easily, began to do something that forced Ceres to sigh as she just came out of the store today.
He opened the white fence, went inside with Mana, and began hugging the winged animals.
“Haa…Princess…”
Mana’s clothes were beginning to get dirty as well, so Ceres, who had just come out of her shop, gave up drying her two young ladies.
It was too difficult for Venus and Mana, who had just started puberty, to see, hug, and pet animals overflowing with cuteness.
“Ceres! Ceres! Look at this! This guy! Doesn’t he look like a dragon from a children’s book?”
“…Ah…. I think it’s pretty big to be called a hatchling…”
The dragon with blue scales rubbed its body on the palms of Mana and Venus and trembled with aegyo.
“And look at the sheep here too! They look as warm as the winter clothes Ceres wears for me.”
Venus laughed and grabbed the sheep’s wool and wiggled it playfully.
“If Venus grabs it like that, it will break.”
Mana laughed and stopped Venus, and Ceres laughed innocently at that cute figure.
For a long time, the two of them hugged the adorable animals with both hands and played with each other rubbing their cheeks.
“Whoa… I can’t buy that cute hatchling with my pocket money…”
“You can’t have pets at the academy. Princess.”
“Still! Wouldn’t it be okay if I released it to my room in the imperial palace?”
Then, who will give the rice? Seriously, Ceres wanted to say, but today was a day to play, but he just smiled.
“Later, when I grow up, I will… Ah, mana! Is that the boat you were talking about the other day?”
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s an airship that my mother is building. You said it’s a ship that can fly!”
The ship made of steel Mana pointed at with her finger she looked like it would be amazing just to float on the water, so Venus couldn’t help but open her mouth wide in surprise.
“To think that such a huge block of iron can fly in the sky, the Magical Sciences of the Magicka Kingdom are quite amazing…”
There were so many people clinging to the huge iron block that it was difficult for Venus to estimate the number.
The appearance with white wings reminded me of an angel that might appear in a children’s book.
“Venus, we’re all here.”
Mana gently pulls Venus ‘hand her, and she points to a huge castle floating in the sky.
“Ohh… Hearing it through rumors and seeing it with my own eyes are different as expected. You really have a strange appearance.”
The castle floating high in the sky was not comparable to the imperial palace where Venus was born, but it was very beautiful.
It was quite large, and above all, it was floating in the air, so I felt like a castle in a children’s book.
Several chains were visible on the ground, like strings used to keep balloons from blowing away, but Venus didn’t pay attention.
“You’ve come from far. Princess.”
Venus turned her eyes to the warm voice coming from far away.
There stood Mana’s mother her, Queen Madolce, and quite a few people stood behind her.
From a woman wearing a maid outfit like Ceres to a knight wearing heavy-looking armor.
There were really diverse people standing, but they had one thing in common.
They all had white wings on their backs.
“Ah.. Keuhum! .. Keuhum!”
Seeing the place where Queen Madolce approached her in an instant, Venus hurriedly clears her throat.
It was the first time she had met the ruler of the kingdom outside of the imperial palace, so Venus was quite nervous.
“…I came here today as a friend of Mana. There is no need to think of me as the heir to the Empire where the sun never sets.”
“Hehe, as rumored, you are polite. Princess. Haona, as the queen of Magicka Kingdom, how dare I call someone who will rule the empire in the future?”
Ma Dolce bows her head, bows her gracefully, and points her hand behind her.
“Should we finish the story in the castle? Princess? Mana. Good job.”
“Venus must be very hungry. I promised not to snack on the wagon!”
As she approached Madolce with a happy smile and saw Mana lightly hugging her, Venus made an awkward smile for a moment.
Envious of his ordinary mother and daughter her, Venus spent absolutely little time with Agrippa.
He was not a fool who tried to receive the love he did not receive from Ceres, so he couldn’t help but feel envy when he saw the ordinary mother and daughter.
Because the unquenched thirst always remained in the princess’s heart her.
“Huh, yes. Did you prepare a hot cake that Mana likes? It’s sprinkled with sweet syrup… It won’t be a problem even for the princess to eat.”
“Ha, hotcakes…”
Swallowing her saliva, Venus looks at Ceres.
Keres knew how to make hotcakes, of course, but she couldn’t always serve sweet desserts.
“Today is the weekend. Princess, enjoy your meal.”
After receiving permission, Venus smiled and nodded his head.
“Come on, let’s go inside. The castle I live in is floating in the sky as you can see, but there is a secret stairway to get there.”
Madolce smiled and said, then she stroked Mana’s head and turned her body to her.
-Tak!
I heard someone snapping their fingers.
“…Ugh.”
At that moment, blue flames erupted from the staff held in Madolche’s right hand her.
“Ugh… Ah…”
“Ugh… Ugh…”
At that moment, painful breathing was heard from the mouths of the winged servants.
“Tch…! That’s why inferior humans can’t help it…!”
Among those complaining in distress, there was also a case of sharpening the heart-shaped tail on the hip of her and hiding it under the skirt of her.
One or two of the many workers who were clinging to the huge block of iron staggered and even fell to the ground.
“Mom…!”
“Ummm, that’s fine. My daughter… I think the cane needs some work.”
Madolce took one look at Venus, smiled, and started climbing up the magical stairs.
Mana was eagerly climbing the stairs following Ma Dolce, and Venus held out her leg her with the same thought.
“Princess.”
“Huh? Did you call Ceres?”
The moment Venus turned his head to look at Ceres, Ceres reached out and grabbed the princess’s tiny shoulders and turned her away.
“It looks like it will rain.”
“Don’t say anything strange that it’s raining while the sun is shining! Ah…Are you sick? Menstruation?”
“… An imperial princess should always look beautiful. Why don’t she go back to the carriage and change her clothes to her?”
“Wouldn’t Mana wait? And huh…?! Ummm! Don’t pet me! Anyone who sees it will think I’m a 10-year-old!”
With a mixed expression, Ceres lowered his hand and gently stroked Venus’ hairpin.
─Kurrureung kwaang!
As if familiar with the sound of the sky ripping, Ceres covered Venus’ ears with both hands.
