Arcana Legend

Kagura's Plan

"In return I will seek the fire of the phoenix to free all the citizens frozen by your century's ice magic."

"You said it like you blamed everything on me."

"I didn't mean it that way."

Kagura interrupted their conversation.

"Well, well, it looks like the goal has already been determined. Then next we'll look for that phoenix flame, right?"

"Yes, Kagura. But the problem is I don't know where the phoenix fire is."

"I know everything, because my arcana is the arcana of knowledge. So then... "

"Hasn't it been discovered that your arcana is a time arcana?"

"Well, fine, I get it. I have traveled the world almost entirely. So, I have a lot of experience."

"So do you know what I'm going to do?"

"Wait for Ziruko, before that I have a question for you."

"Please ask."

"What do you think your point of view is, the emperor, what kind of person?"

"You could say Emperor Luis was a good man. But he was bound by a covenant. He's doing this like he's forced to do something."

"If that were the case, I'm sure next time you won't think that way anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Out there the 11 other emperors were even worse than Emperor Luis."

"Your words are like trying to trick me into changing the way I look."

"You think it's too narrow. You only think about positive things. Sometimes we have to think about the negative as well. If it keeps on like that you'll never get ahead."

"You're advising me?"

"Hmmm .. alright now I will ask again. Do you still want to become an emperor?"

"Of course."

"Then after becoming emperor what will you do?"

"I will make peace in the whole world. There is no such thing as discrimination."

"Now I ask what are the requirements of becoming an emperor?"

"The first way is to become the heir to the throne. Second by bringing down the empire. The third was recognized by the D Empire. Arc." -."

"Then did you get into one of those criteria?"

"All I can do is maybe just find a way to be recognized by Imperium D. Arc." -."

"So stupid! it was the hardest way to become an emperor. Remember this even if you are already an emperor, but you cannot rule all the worlds. You cannot have authority like Imperium D. Arc." -."

"Then what should I do?"

"Don't you know the answer? Don't pretend to be stupid!"

"You mean invasion?"

"Truely, that's the only effective way."

"But, such a way could lead to a coup someday."

"You can't make a deal. And also we can take advantage of the opportunity in narrowness."

"What do you mean?"

"Right now in the Ming Empire there is a massive coup. If you become a mediator, you can be recognized as an emperor. Since one condition is certain to become an emperor, you only need the trust of the people. So far you can be trusted by many people. So, in conclusion our next destination is the Ming Empire."

"Ming Empire? but, is there a phoenix fire?"

"Because of that before we go to the Ming Empire. We will stop by a small island between the Rossweild Empire and the Ming Empire. The island is called Gwongseun. Neutral home without any empire. There is also a Fenghuang legend that is said to have originated in the Ming Empire. That fenghuang could be a phoenix. We have to go there to make sure."

"Alright means it's decided. First of all we will go to Gwongseun after that we return here and then go to the Ming Empire."

"But wait a minute."

"Tomorrow will not be like today."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe tomorrow the imperial army has arrived here. If that happens there will be no tomorrow for us."

"Then have you prepared the solution?"

"Of course I have prepared the solution. The most effective way is to leave Elena here alone."

Elena who heard this immediately protested to Kagura.

"Why did you leave me here alone, you arrogant woman."

"Calm down, stupid woman. I'll explain why. First, you have to perform as if you never knew Ziruko."

"Why should I do that, arrogant woman?!"

"I'll explain it so you shut up! if your cipher succeeds, we'll make a profit. We can communicate with each other through pigeons to explain each other's condition. This is to prepare for Ziruko's return to this place. It is not funny that Ziruko came here and was suddenly surrounded by imperial soldiers. The second was to protect the people who turned into ice sculptures. You have to make sure they are okay. Your nickname as the 'Ice Queen' isn't just a nickname, is it?"

"Alright I'll do that. But, wouldn't it be that if we attacked the Rossweild Empire now it would be finished sooner?"

"If you want to be finished quickly, in the sense of death. Just attack it alone."

"That's not what I mean, isn't it that if our forces are combined we can win?"

"If the imperial opponent alone could still win. However, what if the empire gets reinforcements from other kingdoms. Even though it is strong if we are outnumbered too much, we will definitely lose. We can't be that close. In the Ming Empire we will also gather an army to attack this empire."

"All right, I'll believe in your plan."

"Lili hasn't come back here yet, has she?" ask Ziruko to Elena.

"Yes, he hasn't come yet."

"Because it's your duty to become one, you have to explain what happened and our plan to Lili, after which you have to look after Lili so that she's okay."

"That's not a task, you idiot!"

"It's like that."

Meanwhile, Irina looks confused by the explanation from Kagura. Momo and Mizu are still activating their light mode.

"Wait around! why should I get involved with this?!" irina asked in confusion.

"You are here brave you have betrayed the empire" replied Kagura.

"I have no intention of doing that."

"If you want, just go home to the empire alone."

"I could have been killed."

"That's you know, right? so now you just follow what we're doing."

"At least you are all women. I'm a little relieved."

"Keep me what do you think?!" ziruko.

"You I assume don't exist. If there is you there is a man and that means the situation here is not safe. It's not dangerous if a woman walks with a man."

"Then we were on a date together, right?"

"Forget that!"

"You guys dating?!?!" elena asked with a confused and angry face.

"We were just eating" replied Ziruko and Irina.

"He's forgotten it."

Momo who had not spoken before finally asked a question.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to ask you a question. You guys have been talking about this for a long time, but we're going to Gwongseun Island using what?" ask Momo.

"I'm also confused about it" Mizu added.

"I forgot the important thing" Kagura said with a slightly worried face.
