If Hiiro recalled correctly, when he had previously co to Beast Capital: Passion half a year ago, he was able to enter the Kings Tree, where the Beast King lives, through a series of unexpected events. During that ti, he had t a lone, young girl while exploring the place on his own.
Her chestnut hair ran down to her waist, and a blue ribbon, which was large enough to be called her trademark, rested upon her head. Although she couldnt be said to be trendously beautiful, her attractive, large, almond-shaped eyes and near-transparent white skin gave off the feeling that she would grow up to beco a beauty in the future.
She had communicated with him by writing on sothing that looked like a board. It seed that she had lost her voice due to an illness that afflicted her in her childhood.
Although it honestly had nothing to do with Hiiro, he rembered that, sohow, seeing her expression made him irritated. She was living for soone elses sake. That was sothing that would normally be said to be magnificent.
If she herself had fully desired to live in such a manner, he wouldnt have thought anything about it. However, deep in her eyes, he could detect traces of resignation and bitterness concealed.
And then, when she turned her smile towards him, he noticed that she was faking it, and found it annoying. Although it truly was just a simple whim, he, without thinking about it, restored her voice using Word Magic.
He had a feeling that it was sothing that he had to do, but at the sa ti, he also truly did feel that he wanted to see her real smile.
After healing her, he realized the significance of his actions and thus, after forbidding her to speak of him, quickly left the country. Had he remained there that ti, it would have certainly beco troubleso for him.
Of course, he had not encountered her after that event. Rather, he had honestly forgotten about that incident until she appeared in front of him just now.
She was wearing a similar blue ribbon to the one she wore the first ti he had t her.
Hi-Hiiro-sama.Hiiro-samaaaaaaaaaaa! (Mimir)
She ca running at him with full force, completely unlike a princess. He intended to avoid the incoming body blow, as he expected it would have considerable power, but
..Hm? (Hiiro)
He found his clothes being gripped by soone.
C-Chibi Usagi! (Hiiro)
It was Rarashik. Her lips relaxed into an amused grin, and said-
Its a mans job to shut up and accept a womans hug, isnt it? (Rarashik)
What are..gufu! (Hiiro)
He could have avoided it in ti if his clothes had not been gripped, but as he was unable to do so, he was tackled by the blue ribbon girl, Mimir. The impact of her blow wasnt sothing that could be called a re hug.
Of course, she did not have the intention to attack Hiiro. It seed that she was so overjoyed, she simply wished to embrace him.
Hiiro-samaaaa! (Mimir)
She rubbed her small head against his chest as her face broke into a smile. Seeing such a scene, everyone beca dumbfounded, except for the grinning Leowald and Rarashik.
Mi-Mimir-sama! Please separate from that person! He is an enemy! (Barid)
Although Barid gave Mimir a warning, it seed to not have reached her, as she raised her face and looked at Hiiro.
FinallyI was finally able to et Hiiro-sama. (Mimir)
Ugh..I got it, I got it already, so hurry up and get off of ! (Hiiro)
As he said that, she tightened her embrace even more.
I dont wanna! Youre gonna go off sowhere again, arent you? (Mimiru)
Hah? What are you saying. (Hiiro)
Gahahaha! Hiiro, no matter what you say to Mimir right now, its useless! That child has inherited my stubbornness after all! (Leowald)
Having felt that he saw sothing rare, Leowald let out a hearty laugh. Even if she was displeased with his words, Mimir gave a sour look and stubbornly held on to Hiiro, expressing her strong desire to continue holding him.
Seeing such a Mimir, Hiiro let out a shallow sigh and swiftly wrote the character Untouchable.
Suka!
All of sudden, Mimir, who had been clinging to Hiiro, passed through his body.
EEeeeh!? (Mimir)
Not only Mimir, but also the rest of the people in the room were so surprised that their jaws dropped.
Hiiro turned back towards Leowald as if nothing had happened. Mimir gave a blank stare as she once again stretched out her hand in an attempt to touch him, but-
Suka!
As expected, she couldnt touch him. Even though Hiiro was standing right in front of her, it was as if he were an untouchable hologram.
Too bad, Blue Ribbon. (Hiiro)
Uuuu~ Hiiro-sama! (Mimir)
Mimir, who inflated her cheeks with displeasure, stretched out her hand over and over again without giving up. However, it was as if she were trying to catch a cloud, as she felt no solid response.
Hohou, so that is your magic, Hiiro. (Leowald)
Did it serve as a good reference, Beast King? (Hiiro)
The two of them exchanged glances while faintly smiling at each other.
Fufu, still, I was quite surprised to find out that Mimir had a side like this. (Leowald)
Ah!..U-Uhm..Im sorry for my discourtesy, Otou-sama! (Mimir)
After coming back to her senses, Mimir fixed her appearance as she hung her head in sha.
Its alright, it just goes to show how much you like Hiiro, eh? (Leowald)
Mimirs face flushed a bright red and it seed as though steam would start erupting from her head.
For you, who is usually more mature than anyone else, to lose your composure to this extent.you really are interesting after all, Hiiro. (Leowald)
I dont really get it, but it seems (Hiiro)
Hiiro gazed at Mimirs face. Having suddenly been stared at, Mimirs heart thumped as she blushed even more.
It seems like you have beco a bit better at smiling compared to before. (Hiiro)
Upon hearing Hiiros words, her eyes widened as she grinned and-
Yes! (Mimir)
-answered energetically. It seed that she was no longer lying to herself. Hiiro once again thought to himself that it had been worth it to take the ti to cure her.
However, Mimir, how did you know that Hiiro had co here? We hadnt really been spreading the word about it, but (Leowald)
At Leowalds question, Mimir said, You see.. while glancing at Rarashik. Following her gaze, they saw that a white figure had appeared on top of Rarashiks head without anyone realizing it.
Hiiro had seen that figure before. According to Rarashik, the white figure was a Spirit. Hiiro recalled that Rarashik had said its na was Yuki-chan. Its appearance was like that of a snow rabbit made by children on a snowy days.
.. Chibi Usagi, dont tell you.. (Hiiro)
Nahahaha! Exactly! As soon as we ca here, I sent Yuki-chan over to Mimir-sama. Naturally, it was to inform her about your visit, youngster. (Rarashik)
Is that true, Mimir? (Leowald)
When Leowald asked her, Mimir clearly nodded in affirmation.
Yes. Although Yuki-chan cant talk, I had her write the words using ice. (Mimir)
I see. So she beca aware of my presence thanks to Yuki informing her.aning that when she ca running at full speed and hugged , that was, naturally, Rarashiks aim from the start.
Youve really done it now, oi.. (Hiiro)
Nahaha, its revenge for earlier. (Rarashik)
As he thought, the root of this offense was her grudge from him one-upping her at her ho. Rather than feeling angry over her unwillingness to let anything go, Hiiro was more shocked as he let out a sigh.
B-By the way Otou-sama, why is Hiiro-sama here? Based on what Muir-chan told , Hiiro-sama was, umstanding on the Evilas side of the battlefield. (Mimir)
Her face darkened with anxiety.
He seems to have co here to talk to about sothing. (Leowald)
A talk..with Otou-sama? (Mimir)
Umu. Mimir, its fine if you stay here, but dont get in the way, understood? (Leowald)
Y-Yes! Thank you very much, Otou-sama! (Mimir)
After saying that, she bowed. Then, although Leowald had thought that she would move away from her current position, for so reason, she remained standing beside Hiiro.
Mimir? (Leowald)
What is it, Otou-sama? (Mimir)
I-Iya, why dont you co over here? (Leowald)
I cannot do that. (Mimir)
W-Why? (Leowald)
This place is good. (Mimir)
She said that with an awfully brilliant smile.
Otou-sama said that its fine if I stay here. (Mimir)
U-umu (Leowald)
Everyone else did, indeed, hear that.
That is why Mimir will not part from Hiiro-samas side. (Mimir)
Seeing her declare that so distinctly, Leowald judged that even if he said anything else, she would stubbornly refuse to listen. Therefore, he didnt pursue the matter any further.
I guess that its alright. Incidentally Hiiro, what do you plan to do after this? (Leowald)
Ha? (Hiiro)
After speaking with . (Leowald)
I was thinking of having soone guide to the duelling location, but do I have your consent for that? (Hiiro)
I dont particularly mind, but even if we didnt guide you there, you said that it wouldnt be a problem, right? (Leowald)
I guess so. Thats why I figured it would be fine either way. So, frankly speaking, I dont have anymore business to take care of here (Hiiro)
In other words, you plan on going back? (Leowald)
Yeah. (Hiiro)
At that mont, Mimir gazed at him sadly. Even though she had finally t him once more..it was likely difficult for her to separate from him again.
Youre not going to go et with Arnold and Muir? (Leowald)
Yeah, Ive already asked Chibi Usagi, but it seems like itd be better not to et them right now. I will set aside our joyous reunion for now. (Hiiro)
.. I see. (Leowald)
Leowald folded his arms and faintly groaned as if he was in deep thought. Hiiro ignored him as he began to focus magic into his fingertips. The people who saw his actions were convinced that he was planning to leave the place.
It was quite enjoyable. (Hiiro)
And, just as he was about to write the characters,
Well, wait. (Leowald)
At Leowalds words, Hiiro twitched and stopped moving.
.What? (Hiiro)
Theres no need to rush like that. Just take your ti here. (Leowald)
Mimir, who had been making an uneasy expression, suddenly brightened and stared at Leowald.
I refuse. There is no reason for stay here. (Hiiro)
At Hiiros words, Mimir instantly beca depressed.
Hou, I see. Even if we have prepared so entertainnt in order to welco you? (Leowald)
Hiiro twitched as he heard those words.
entertainnt, you say? (Hiiro)
Yeah. (Leowald)
Ill at least ask. What might that include? (Hiiro)
Feeling that he had captured Hiiros attention, Leowalds face relaxed.
Actually, yesterday we were able to get our hands on soAqua Hound at.. (Leowald)
Ill be troubling you for a while. (Hiiro)
Hiiro could never forget the na Aqua Hound at. The reason being that, after coming to this world, it was the at dish that had left the greatest impression on him.
Honestly speaking, he had felt that he wanted to eat that at once more. That at contained a deliciousness that seed like it could make you lt with pleasure.
Ohh, I see, I see! (Leowald)
Leowald did a small fist pump and winked at Mimir. Indeed, he had intentionally made Hiiro stay for Mimirs sake. He was a typical doting parent.
Mimir smiled like a blooming flower as she gazed at Hiiros face.
Hiiro-sama, until the promised entertainnt is prepared, please talk with Mimir! (Mimir)
How troubleso. (Hiiro)
Hau! (Mimir)
Seeing her drop her shoulders as if she had received a large shock, Leowald said-
I apologize Hiiro, but please do as Mimir wants. In exchange, we will prepare a satisfying al for you. (Leowald)
.. It cant be helped. (Hiiro)
Hiiro released the effect of Untouchable.
Lead the way, Blue Ribbon. (Hiiro)
Hiiro-sama..yes! This way please! (Mimir)
As she said so, the both of them left the room.
