Several days after I changed the way I addressed the second princess to 'Melty', we have been making considerable progress in the opposite direction of Silt Welt, and all thanks to Firo.Setting that aside...Recently, we have been encountering a lot of wild Philo Rial. [1]At night, their calls remind me of howling wolves in the distance, and it is very annoying, especially in the middle of the night.'Is there a Philo Rial habitat around here?' I wondered while trying to sleep. It was midnight then, and I was sleeping when suddenly-???: ""Gua~!""Naofumi: "Firo, shut up."Firo: "It's not Firo."That was fairly close to us though, so if it wasn't Firo then what was it?Are there more wild Philo Rials nearby?Raphtalia: "Umm......Naofumi-sama? I just heard a lot of Philo Rial cries."I notice another cry, and this one is quite near.Naofumi: "Thanks for reminding me. Firo, do you know how many there are?"Firo: "I don't know."Naofumi: "Are they far off?"Firo: "Well, they are coming."Naofumi: "What?"Raphtalia: "What?"We look at Firo with strained expressions.Naofumi: "Be cautious."Firo: "Everyone said they are coming to meet with Firo."Naofumi: "Are they speaking to you with this cry!?"Firo: "Yep."She nodded. I felt uneasy at the large amount of Philo Rial cries that could be heard.Slowly, all the bushes around us start rustling, and the tall silhouettes of Philo Rials become visible."What the hell is going on!?"Melty: "Waa......There are so many Philo Rial!"Melty's eyes start to shine as she watches the Philo Rial.Naofumi: "Umm, Melty. Listen well because I'll teach you something important."Melty: "What is it?"Naofumi: "Philo Rials eat everything. Firo and I may be alright, but if these wild Philo Rial attack, you and Raphtalia will be eaten."Melty: "What are you saying Naofumi. Philo Rials are gentle demons. There is no way they would do something like that."It's hard to keep a straight face after all that.Naofumi: "Shit...... I won't get to the neighboring country to meet the queen anytime soon, if joke-like developments with wild demons are going to constantly happen."The next thing I know, the Philo Rial stop hiding and in a moment surround us.There are way too many to count.A bunch of the Philo Rial eyes are glowing in the darkness too.There are Philo Rial as far as the eye can see.What on earth is happening?Maybe this is a territorial despute between Philo Rial?But Firo shouldn't be able to understand the concept of territory.Firo could be recognized as an extremely high ranked Philo Rial; 'Did they come thinking that she is a danger?However, since Firo didn't give us a warning cry, this may be different.Or rather...... Did they come to scout Firo into their group?There is a possibility that that is what's happening.Alright, let's go with that.Naofumi: "Firo, I hope you find happiness with these guys."Raphtalia: "What are you saying suddenly, Naofumi-sama!?"Melty: "Firo-chan is going to leave!?"Naofumi: "We can't help it. These guys came to pick up Firo."Melty: "Really!?"Firo: "Separating from Master? No~!"'Firo, don't you understand the situation?''It's already too late. If we don't give up Firo here, we'll be mobbed by a large amount of Philo Rials.'Naofumi: "Do your best for us, and for these guys. Firo."'After this situation is solved, I'll have to go buy a new Philo Rial. I hope the next one won't be so annoying.'Firo: "No~!"While we were bantering."""Gua~!"""THe group of Philo Rial just divided into two like that one scene from Moses and the Red Sea.'What the hell?'"Gua~!"From the divide, one Philo Rial walks leisurely towards us. It is also pulling some luxurious carriage....... There are jewels fitted onto that carriage.'I think I've seen some of those jewels before......Where was it?'I suddenly look at the shield.There is a jewel that looks the same as those on the carriage."""Gua!"""A group of Philo Rials salute and bowed towards the Philo Rial that is pulling the carriage.Rattlerattle, the Philo Rial pulling the carriage stops before us.Firo: "Wow...... that is cool. I'm jealous!"Firo's eyes are sparkling as she watches the carriage.'I hate it. It's such an upstart carriage.''If I had the choice, I'd rather not ride something like that.'"Gua!"The rope that connected the Philo Rial with the wagon came off and it stepped forward.Another Philo Rial walked up to the rear.Naofumi: "What's that? What's going to happen?""Gueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"When the Philo Rial surrounding the carriage calls out, the surrounding plants start glowing green and wind arises.Melty: "Ah......did they put up a barrier!?"Naofumi: "Barrier?"Melty's voice is full of surprise.Melty: "Yes. Naofumi, doesn't it look brighter? From a distance all you would see is fog."I pay more attention to the group of Philo Rial.There doesn't seem to be anything like a dense fog.Melty: "This is a high-class sanctuary type barrier."Naofumi: "What's that?"Melty: "There exists a Forest of Illusion, and according to legends, the equipment of the old era heroes are said to be kept there; However, the fog of magic stopsall who approach."Naofumi: "You know quite a lot."Melty: "Mother likes stories about the Forest of Illusion. This fog also resembles the one described in the stories. I'm surprised."'What does that mean? We can't escape from here even if we run?'Melty: "Will you be able to return if you enter the fog?......We seem to have set foot inside the sanctuary of Philo Rial."Melty seems totally entranced.That reminds me, this fellow loves Philo Rial. Isn't this like a dream come true?Naofumi: "Now's not the time for this!"While we were talking, the plants' shine had increased until it's became as bright as day.'What on earth is happening?'The Philo Rial that pulled the carriage starts to swell up, up the point where it's just a black silhouette.Huge......The silhouette swells flabbily. There is probably a big chance that Firo will end up like that.At first it had the appearance of a normal Philo Rial, but now it's 6 meters tall.And...... it stops expanding when it reaches 9 meters. This figure is the same as Firo's demon form.The same as Philo Rial · Queen (Temporary) [2]Melty: "Wow~......Big."I mutter, and Melty looks like she cannot contain her excitement.Compared to Firo's colour which is light pink and white, that Philo Rial · Queen is white and azure.The big difference now was a wing-like crown on top of it's head, something that Firo didn't have.Philo Rial Queen: "Kueeeeeeeee!"With just its voice, The vibrations could be felt to the bones.Firo: "Yes. Yes. I understand."Firo nods a few times and turns to us.Firo: "Umm, you see. It seems visiting in human form is impolite, or so she says."Firo translates the words that the queen said.'Oh, is it natural that you can communicate since you are from the same race?'Firo: "She says that because there is an ancient pledge and oath, I cannot speak with people easily. I hope you understand."Naofumi: "......Well, that's fine. But what business do you have with us?"Philo Rial Queen: "Kueeeeeee!"Firo: "She says this. First let's have some self-introduction. I am the Queen of the Philo Rial. My old name is Fitoria."Melty: "Fitoria!? That's the name of the Philo Rial from the legends."
Meltly yells with an expression full of astonishment.
Firo: "Are you by any chance the Hero of the Shield? She says."
Naofumi: "Ah, yeah......"
Firo: "She says, I apologize for the sudden visit. I have some little business here."
Naofumi: "Wh-what would that be?"
By then, I had a pain in my neck from looking up at the big Philo Rial.
Fitora: "Kueee"
Firo: "Eh......No~"
Firo gives her a dirty look. What are they talking about?
Fitora: "Kueee!"
Firo: "Really!? All right. I understand."
Naofumi: "What did you talk about?"
Firo: "Umm you see. She wants to know Firo's ability , and she seems to want to fight Firo."
Naofumi: "Just Firo?"
Fitoria nods at my question.
Firo: "You see. I think we will have a good fight."
Naofumi: "Are you going to avoid killing each other?"
Fitoria nodded again.
'Although I was busy trying to meet the queen...... A different queen shows up.'
Naofumi: "......Isn't it fine then?"
Fitora: "Kueeeee"
Firo: "She says, thank you for listening to my request, Hero of the Shield."
'What a troublesome conversation. You should talk from the start if you are capable of it.'
The Philo Rials surrounding us started to back up when Fitoria expanded her wings.
Fitora: "Kueeeeǃ"
Firo: "She says, the Hero's party should fall back too."
Naofumi:"Okay, okay."
Raphtalia, Melty, and I went to the edge of the circle made by the Philo Rial.
Fitora: "Kueeeeeee!"
Firo: "Here I go~"
Firo returns to her demon form and charges at Fitoria.
