----------
Back to the castle…
Everyone was inside of Yuuri's room, all having serious and worried faces for their king.
"Heika!!!!" Günter is having his overreacting drama as usual. He was beside Yuuri's bed kneeling and having his face covered with both hands. Making it look like there's a really tragic thing that happened.
"Father, you don't have to worry that much to His Majesty. He just fainted from using his Maryoku too much." Gisela assured everyone that nothing Yuuri's condition is stable and there's nothing to be worried about. The kid's condition is just normal, using a high-level majutsu in his current state would really exhaust him especially that he was only a kid at that time. After making an assurance she excused herself and left the room after.
"It would be better if we leave His Majesty Yuuri and let him rest. He might wake up if we stay here making noises." Gwendal suggested. Everybody agreed and left the room silently.
Just after Yuuri's room was abandoned by his retainers a small figure was able to sneak in when the door was opened. No one noticed the presence of the little thing that came.
"So this is Yuuri. It's really true that he was reverted back into a kid." The figure says. Looking at the kid that was peacefully sleeping in the bed.
The little thing was startled when he heard the door of the room opened and someone came inside. Thinking that it was one of the members of The Round Table he immediately hided himself under the bed. It would not do any good if the members from the round table aside from Gwendal Von Voltaire and Günter Von Christ sees him there. It would surely create a great rumor to the whole country. Knowing that He is alive and still existing.
"What are you planning to do again?" A familiar voice spoke. "Shinou?"
When he heard his name he already knew who entered the room. It was the reincarnation of the Great Sage, Murata Ken. "So, it's only you." He revealed himself to the teen.
"I felt your presence here inside the castle. Knowing that you won't do any good, I decided to look for you." Murata paused for a while and spoke again. " And this is where I found you." He looks at the tiny figure with great suspicion in his eyes. "What are you up to now?"
"That's being rude My Great Sage, I only visited the Maou that I chose. I heard that there's something interesting that is going on in this castle." Shinou even smiled at the young lad.
"As you can see Shibuya was accidentally turned into a kid by Von Kabernikof-kyou's invention. We are still waiting for her to find a way to return Shibuya into his original form."
"So it would take a while before he could return to normal, in that case." Shinou unconsciously said. And it only made The Great Sage's suspicions grow.
"So you're really up to something."
Shinou was supposed to say something, but the two noticed that the kid is stirring back to life. Yuuri's gazes fell at the two persons in the room.
"You're awake Shibuya?" Murata came closer to the bed to check the kid.
Instead of answering the child eagerly moved away from the bed and approached the thing that caught his attention.
"Shibuya?"
The child is now staring at the little figure of Shinou intently. Thinking of what kind of creature it is.
"Fairy?" The kid mumbled.
"That's not it, Shibuya. He is not a fairy. He's just.. ah… e to.." The young lad couldn't find any right description that they could call Shinou. If he would let the kid think that the first king was really a fairy it might be bad. The last time kids thought that Shinou was a fairy led into a disaster. An ancient weapon that lurks within the deepest part of the castle was discovered and it nearly destroyed the country.
Yuuri stared at the teen, obviously waiting for an answer.
"Ahmm… just an ordinary friend" He doubt that Yuuri would believe that reason. To his surprised, the kid actually believed it.
"You have a friend that is as little as a fairy, onii-chan?" the kid was smiling as he looked at The Sage.
Whew! That was close! "Right." The young lad carried the kid and made him lie again in bed. He noticed that the kid was still pale and tired. "You should sleep more. You still look bad."
"Oi, what do you mean by regarding me as 'just a friend'? I'm the first—" Shinou's word's when, Murata held him like a doll and carried him and leave the room.
"Shibuya. It would be better to rest for you to regain your energy. Be a good kid and don't do anything okay?" Yuuri answered with a nod and started dozing off again.
"Spare him from your pranks, Shinou. Shibuya is not in the condition for that now." The sage sighed. "Geez, this really makes me look like a babysitter. First is you, and now, Shibuya. The kings of this country are always troublesome. They always make things hard for their subjects." Murata commented.
Shinou just shrugged. And never dared contest the Sage's comment. It would only lead into further discussions and in the end, he knew that the Sage would win. It was always like that, he can never win against him. That's why he choose this man to be his strategist. Not even him could defeat his sage.
----------
Gisela once more checked on Yuuri. She was surprised to discovered that the kid is still sleeping soundly. She noticed that the kid's face was a bit red than the last time he checked upon him. When she touched Yuuri's forehead when he discovered that the kid has a little fever. She left the room to get some medicines.
After Gisela left, the kid woke up and left the bed. He was able to get out of his room and roam once again in the castle. When Gisela returned and discovered that Yuuri is missing again, she hurriedly went to Gwendal and report the matter. The green-haired lady found Gwendal together with the other members of the Ten Noble families at the castle grounds. She was about to approach the crowd when he saw the missing kid at the other castle corridor.
"Heika!!" The entire crowd turned their attention to the one who just shouted.
"What's the matter Gisela?" Günter asks. He obviously knew that something just happened again to their king when he heard the word 'heika'.
"Yuuri Heika should be immediately brought back to his room. It would not do any good for his health if he stays outside"
"Isn't His Majesty inside his room?" Von Rochefort asked.
"He was able to leave the room when I was going to get some medicine for him. There's His Majesty!" Gisela pointed at Yuuri's direction.
Delchias is about to reach the kid's place when it suddenly run away from him, laughing. The kid thought that they are playing again.
"Heika, you need to take your medicine and rest." Günter's turn to persuade the kid. The entire group that is once quiet is once more having a hard time catching the kid that is happily running around despite of his slight fever.
The chasing extended inside the castle. None of the adults were able to catch Yuuri.
The kid is still running around energetically when he bumped into a person that he didn't notice. It was Annissina that is holding another weird helmet that has almost the same color with the thing that transformed Yuuri into a kid. The re-haired lady dropped the helmet accidentally and it fell exactly at the top of Yuuri's head.
Gwendal's face went pale when he saw the helmet at the kid's head.
"Minna-san, what are you doing here, running around at the castle?" Annissina didn't bothered the magical device that fell from her hands and greeted the crowd.
Everybody's face went as pale as Gwendal's face when they saw the helmet glowed. They were about to remove it from the kid's head when it exploded. Smoke filled the corridors. When it finally disappeared they saw their King that is back to normal, sitting on the floor.
"Heika!' everyone sighed in relief that there are no other weird thing that happened again.
"Oh!" Yuuri was surprised to see His subjects sitting at the floor looking tired. "What did I missed? Did something happened?" the young lad asked the crowd smiling innocently. It seems like he didn't remember what happened.
Everyone fell onto the floor due to tiredness.
Annissina is smiling beside Yuuri. "My experiment is a success."
