The Book Of Flowers
Eggs
So then...
-- Miralius, that night at Vainzel's ---
The point is, I was a little embarrassed when Julius and Alorry reprimanded us there earlier
I mean, I'm crying...
It even sounds pretty loud...
Ahem!
"Now we forget that we've been rebuked, okay?"
Verdea and Veskal just nodded with reddened faces, while my five friends plus Zaphir gathered there
Also...
"When did Edwin get in here?" Luna asked
"Since I invited him. I'm not feeling good because we left it in the meeting room earlier..." Verdea answered nervously
Edwin only smiled widely, while everyone except Verdea showed an unhappy face
Well, even if he's right, we still can't believe him. Even if his body was indeed not affixed to black magic at all
He remains Rosalia's subordinate
"Hello!" Cyth was suddenly heard coming into my house. "I see your lights are still on, so I intend - OH MY God?!!!"
Holy hooch!
He dropped the fruits he brought to the floor, which surprised us as well
"Slow down your voice or if my parents wake up...!!"
Cyth apologized to me in silence as he and Erin were helped by Ivor starting to reassemble all the fruit
"I'm just surprised to see that person inside here." he then said.
"If what you're talking about is Edwin, I'm just as surprised. But Verdea always made me reject myself"
"I told you I wasn't good enough to let him get left behind, was it...?"
Still son...
"I'll just stay here until the selection of the new higher-ups is complete" Edwin said
"Stay unconvincing because you are the enemy" Cyth replied
"Think as you please. I'm human too, so I need a vacation, right?"
"Not expected either?" the voice came from beside Verdea
And standing behind her chair, we could see Claudia who was busy chewing on the wine she picked up from the floor. He casually greeted us after being discovered, then jumped from behind the chair until he sat down next to Verdea who was a little out of the way for fear of being hit by it
"I'm hungry after helping lady Eleanor do the experiment" she said again
"Then it was a coincidence" his voice this time came from Eleanor, assisted by Albert into this house
I don't know why they all got together. I'm not sure if anyone invited them
If I recall, only we who went to Orion earlier should have gathered here. I don't know why these extras showed up and filled my house
Huh... Just leave...
"Your experiment is a little rough, Miss Eleanor. We have to redesign it a bit so that failure doesn't happen again" Ordelia suddenly spoke up
"I have no problem with that proposal. I was honored that someone who understood us was willing to help" Eleanor replied while sitting next to Veskal with Albert
Ordelia smiled and got that response. It was the first time I saw him so excited other than when I heard about my presence
"And I don't think you're going home without a gift" Cyth interrupted, then pretended to throw his face away
"We're just in his castle area, captain. There was no time for us to go to the shopping area without the help of the Fae" Veskal replied
"Stay, I want something from Orion~ For example..."
"Grab" Erin continued. "I'd like to try to get their jewels again"
"Ah yes! The pearl is really very pretty~!" Cyth added, before starting to laugh at himself due to the shadows in his head
Hmphc... I couldn't follow their conversation because I was tired
I know they're here to open the conversation and make sure we're happy, but I really just want to take a break to prepare for this
Anyways
...!
...
Anyways...
"Zaphir" I said
Making sure that everyone was still busy with each other, he moved first after saying goodbye to his son in a whisper
Luna looked at me, then nodded in understanding. The sign made me wake up, so everyone started to shut up when they saw us both coming out
"They have business" Luna explained and sounded faint, as we had already started to go out to look for a place that was not noisy and a little far away
...
"I'm sure you'd like to talk about giving us the queen of Orion"
Next to the tree he said to me, whereupon I immediately replied with a nod
'That's not going to happen when you get it in Orion later', that's what he said
And Alorry was quite right. I can't refuse a gift from him— which Zaphir now holds after he took that thing out of his pocket
It was like a giant plant seed, about the size of my hand. And I can tell you, she has a strange complexion, especially with this gray color
But it's not just a seed
"It's an egg"
Eggs from something...
...
...
...
'The eggs have unique components. Dirty mana belongs to the incarnation of demons.The flesh of some monsters. And most importantly...'
"The pollen belongs to the Fae, who are from the Father directly"
Alorry doesn't know the details, but...
We're understand. I understand—especially when I have this thing in my hand now
Things that feel light, but also heavy. There's something in it that makes this egg shell squirm like a caterpillar
"The creature inside the egg seems to be still in the metamorphosis phase. Also, I have never heard of a Chimera that could come from the Fae" Zaphir commented
"That's because we've never seen Fae become an experimental material, Zaphir" I replied
Zaphir shook his head in disapproval. "Trust me Oberon. Man in ancient times was far more vile" he said later
Hm...
But, again they made a Chimera. I'm confused why they're doing all this
Not only humans, now Fae was also a victim of this abomination. In the next moment, I will not be surprised if there is an Elf who becomes the next ingredient
None of this made sense from the beginning. Why the Chimera...?
What do they want to do by creating and releasing all those creatures to create chaos...?
If the culprit is Rosalia, I'm sure there's a bigger picture than just the concept of chaos. And I'm not sure the black magicians on the western island of Goeitias have the resources to be able to make many Chimeras at once
The culprit is only one. And that means Rosalia might be involved, even if it's not the mastermind behind it
"Send Amelia to spy out the whereabouts of Eloy Crux and Yuriel Grandier. Report to me about it as soon as possible and as much as possible"
Only they are the prime suspects
Zaphir nodded in agreement, then looked back at the egg in my hand
The egg squirmed again, even making me quite surprised. Spontaneously I tried to pet her, and somehow she felt attached to the index finger I touched to her body
"He seems to be reacting because you are an Oberon" Zaphir said
"most likely. But he still has the blood of the devil"
I just hope he doesn't go wild like a Chimera who can't have common sense. If he has Fae's blood, I might be able to train him well enough
I hope so
"Well... Looks like I'll have a pet..."
"It seems so, Oberon"
Just drop it now...
"And also, you must remember the promise of your duel to my son. I'm sure he's been expecting that since we got back"
"Ughs. No need to remind...!"
Luna will give me back pain for 3 days after this...
Looks like I should have a little no restraint when fighting him later...
"Ah. You should also tell this information to all the officials. Have a nice day because my day certainly isn't"
Zaphir took the time to laugh at my words. "Ready to understand" he added as he giggled
