Chapter 1280: Sixth Star ②

Chapter 1280 – Sixth Star ②

At the request of Spica, the Spirit of the Blue Crystal Flower, Isis decided to have a chat using the table and chairs in the room.

The conversation was still mainly about Spica, but due to their mutual personalities, the conversation proceeded peacefully.

[……I see…… Spica…… travels around a lot huh.]

[Right. I was traveling around aimlessly. It was right after I moved to see the snowy landscape for the first time when Isis-san found me.]

After listening to Spica’s story, Isis realized that her assumption was correct. In other words, Spica has never manifested as a Spirit in the past and has always remained in her flower.

The Blue Crystal Flower itself is a flower that possesses magic power, so her existence has gone unnoticed by anyone.

But then, there was also the question of why she really came out into the open this time. The reason was apparently that she wanted to talk to Isis, but why did Spica, who presumably had never had such a thought in tens of thousands of years, come up with the idea of wanting to talk to Isis this time……

To Isis, who had such thoughts in mind, Spica told her with a smile.

[Isis-san, can I ask you a question?]

[……Unnn…… What is it?]

[Isis-san, do you like Blue Crystal Flowers?]

Hearing Spica’s words, Isis had a hunch that this was a very important question.

It was for Isis and Spica…… It was so much so that it will be a major factor in the future for both of them…… but there’s no clear-cut right answer to this question. That is why Isis decided to express what she honestly felt.

[……I didn’t have any particular feelings about them before…… but…… Blue Crystal Flowers had been involved…… in my very precious and happy memories…… and since then…… it has become my favorite flower.]

[I see…… Fufu, it kinda feels weird. Hearing you say that you love Blue Crystal Flowers somehow makes me happy.]

After hearing Isis’ response, Spica gave a smile of genuine joy and gazed at Isis with very gentle eyes.

Just like that, a few seconds of silence passed…… before Spica muttered.

[……As I thought, this would be the case.]

[……Unnn?]

[I have traveled to many places and seen many landscapes. There have been places that I moved away from because I didn’t like it there, and there have been places that I stayed in because I liked the place. But somehow…… This place is just a little bit different.]

[……Different?]

[I wonder why? It’s hard to explain, but this place is different from the places I’ve liked on my previous trips…… It’s a place that makes me feel warm and comfortable, like “Ahh, I like this place”. And even though I had felt this way before, I didn’t know why I’m feeling this way this time…… but now, I understand.]

After saying this, Spica gets up from her chair and moves to the potted Blue Crystal Flower that is her main body, and continues in a voice filled with various thoughts.

[……I really think I’ve been aware of this for a long time. But even though my body and mind were thinking this way, I couldn’t put it into words, and I may not have understood it in my head yet. But now, after talking with Isis-san, I’m finally convinced.]

[………………..]

[I’m sure…… all these times…… “I’ve been traveling to get to this place”…… I’m convinced of it.]

Spica gently stroked the Blue Crystal Flower and muttered to herself.

[Ahh, I see…… I’ve finally found “the place where I can put down my roots”……]

With these words, Spica closed her eyes. While Spica had the appearance and atmosphere as if she was reflecting on her long journey, Isis said nothing and quietly waited for her next words.

Spica’s eyes were closed for a while, but when she opened them…… she looked back to Isis with a bright smile on her face.

[……And so…… “Isis-sama”…… Would you accept a Spirit as a subordinate?]

Seeing Spica saying that in a slightly joking manner, seemingly caught up in the moment, Isis smiled and responded.

[……Unnn…… You’re greatly welcomed…… I will be in your care…… Spica.]

[Yes~~]

And thus, the Spirit of the mysterious blue flower, also known as the Travel Flower, who had been traveling around the world, decided that Isis’ home would be the place where she would put down her roots…… And the being who later came to be known as the Death King’s executives, Pleiades, gathered under Isis.

Also, this was a digression from the story…… In addition to the unprecedented Ten-Tailed Mystic Silver, this was a rare Spirit, an unidentified Peak Count-rank that has manifested itself without being given power by Lillywood, and upon discovery of her existence, which neither she nor Lillywood had known until now, Alice was greatly troubled.

And so, along with her despair, several white gold coins would disappear from Kaito’s wallet.

Serious-senpai : [I see…… It was a system where if Alice suffers from a stomach ache, the damage would be transferred to Kaito’s wallet, not Alice’s stomach……]

T/N: It seemed like many people already got used to Pleiades, so I will just keep it here in the WN. If the LN were to continue even after the Day of Miracles (whose existence was hinted at, as LN refers to the Afterstory as “Part 2”), I would just use Six Stars there, just like how Shallow Vernal is referred to as Creator God instead of God of Creation in the LN.
