In the star spirit world, on the small planet where the Virgo star spirits live.
In front of the huge star crystal wrapped in a golden sphere, a girl dressed as a village girl was leaning on the harp, plucking the strings on her fingertips and immersing herself in her performance.
"...That is an absolutely unbreakable bond~"
"...Singing for you~"
"...Show a smile~"
"..."
The melodious sound of the piano mixed with the soft singing floats across the starry sky, washing the hearts of the listeners.
Since this 'sleeping' girl was entrusted to the owner here, singing can be heard from the center basically every week.
A certain maid star spirit has been doing her best to fulfill her contractor's request.
"...Thank you for today too, Lila."
When the song ended, the pink-haired maid who stood quietly waiting for the song to end tilted her head slightly and looked gratefully at her fellow protoss who had been invited by her.
The sound of Lyra is said to have the effect of soothing people's hearts and soothing their souls.
Although Baluge doesn't know if it will be useful to the master's friends, it doesn't matter if it gives it a try.
"No no~ I'm very happy to be able to help like this, Lila~"
The Lyra girl who was swaying her hands quickly and singing happily just now also squinted her eyes and smiled with great satisfaction.
However, the lack of any reaction from the 'audience' made the expressive girl immediately look sad.
"Sigh... It's been so long, and this little lady still hasn't made any progress..."
"And Miss Baruge, your contractor is also..."
Half a year ago, the news that the King of the Star Spirit World met with a girl from the human world had already spread to the ears of most Star Spirits.
After all, that was the first time that a being who was not a protoss entered this world.
I heard that to this day, the human girl is still in the star spirit world, and many star spirits want to see her...
"..."
"...Ah! Sorry! Lila said the wrong thing..."
Realizing that her words made the maid next to her also feel depressed, the Lyra girl apologized hastily and awkwardly.
"……It doesn't matter."
"The contract between me and the master is still there."
"In that case, it is my duty to do what I was asked to do before the master comes back."
"Otherwise, you won't be punished by your master."
"Forehead……"
What she wants to say is probably the reward...
She automatically replaced the strange words in the ballo song, and Lila, who had a performance to perform later, also picked up her harp again.
"Well then~ Lila will leave first today~see you next week~"
"Well, I'll be asking you to do it next week, Lila."
"Hi hi~"
With a crisp farewell sound, the other party waved his right hand vigorously and disappeared under the starlight.
"..."
(...according to the human world...it has been half a year...)
(Owner……)
Watching her companions go away, the Celestial Spirit Maid once again set her sights on the depths of the starry sky.
That is the place with the densest spiritual energy in the star spirit world.
There are rumors that it is the source of the power of the protoss, and there are also rumors that it is the birthplace and first place of the protoss.
Regardless of the authenticity of these rumors, this place is indeed as the Star Spirit King said, it is a place surrounded by white mist and no one will disturb it.
The light star bubbles float above the spring water with a faint flash of light, disappearing and reappearing, as if they never stop.
Today, the calm, mirror-like center of the spring once again rippled, and began to spread very regularly...
…
"Huh...huh..."
Deep in the gray space of consciousness, the brown-haired girl was holding her chest with one hand and supporting her body with her own magic props with the other. She took the time to adjust her breathing and be wary of the place engulfed by the big explosion just now.
This is already the battle between "them" for who knows how many times.
Ever since she was sent here by the Celestial Spirit King that day, she was 'pulled' into this space as she tried to deeply control the power within her body.
Here, you can't feel the passage of time or pain.
Some are just "spiritual" and "soul" fatigue.
And, the "self" standing in front of me...
…
(No way...)
After recalling all the efforts she had exerted in this space of consciousness, Zella could no longer even make a wry smile.
The smoke generated by the explosion has gradually dissipated, but the figure who came out of it still maintained an unhurried pace and moved towards her location.
The jet-black wings, the inorganic expression, the black and white spiritual clothing, the star-colored book in his hand, and the gray flames coming out of his feet.
There is no doubt that she was the "Demon King" after being reversed on Tenrou Island.
But compared to that time, the current "Demon King Zera" is like a body that acts based on instinct.
(...Either defeat "her" and gain everything, or be swallowed by "her" and lose everything...)
(What a simple and annoying multiple-choice question...)
But the problem is that in this space, neither the magic of "Sin" nor the power of "other worlds" can be used now.
The only thing that can be used is the power that belongs to 'Zera'.
So after losing the power of the "anti-spiritual crystal", what is left for her...
While Zella was fighting a desperate battle with "himself", other changes occurred unknowingly in the center of the lake in "Star Fountain".
What was originally just a small ripple has now gradually expanded into a whirlpool, and the trend is getting worse.
This strange situation also made a certain old man from the Star Spirit who paid attention to this place every day become worried again.
"King! Is it really okay to look like this?!"
All sleepiness was wiped out by the scene in front of him, and Crooks, the Southern Cross Star Spirit, looked anxiously at the huge figure beside him.
Even though "Star Fountain" has a purifying effect, its real effect is far more than that.
If something really goes wrong, it will definitely be a disaster for the "Star Spirit World".
"Well……"
"It seems... our friend seems to have encountered a little 'trouble'..."
Staring at the abnormality in front of him, the Star Spirit King's beard began to tremble up and down.
But then, he seemed to notice something from the breath emanating from the spring water, and he opened his mouth boldly to activate the magic power of the galaxy.
Countless stars began to fall from the sky, and a meteor shower began where the "Star Fountain" was located.
The surface of the lake seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost at this moment.
"Stars, the time has come..."
"For our friends, light the way forward!" (To be continued)
