At Saralegui's castle..
Our little Yuu-chan is still sitting in bed, unable to move around to his heart's content. And there is still the human king beside him—staring, comprehending some thoughts about the kid that is actually with him at the moment.
This kid really looks like Yuuri. The hair, and the eyes..
But when the king stared at the clothes, he starts thinking all over again. The only thing that could be a possible reason or explanation for the kid's appearance is he is a relative of Yuuri, or the Great Sage.
"Sara-chan?" The kid's voice was the thing that brought him back to reality. His little conversation with his logical self took longer than it should be. When Yuu-chan noticed that his blonde friend is quiet, the kid turned to him and found the Sara looking at him.. Staring actually.
"W-What is it?"
"Is Sara-chan okay?" a worried look started to appear on the kid's cute little face.
Sara smiled. Ah, there had been no one who made him think that his name is such a beautiful melody to say. Even if there is s 'chan' of course.
"Yes." The king paused for a moment to think before looking back again at the child. He smiled rather sweetly. "Didn't I promised Yuu-chan that I will tour him in my castle? Hmm?"
Hearing this the kid began to giggle, and immediately moved out of the bed. "Yay!!!"
Reaching his hand to the kid, "Let's go?"
"um!"
Walking at the corridor of the castle, Sara remembered a thing. He turned to the kid and smiled. "Where do you want to go?"
Yuu-chan thought about the question for about… uhmm.. 3 seconds. Then turned again to the human king.
"Anywhere." And 'Anywhere' is the hardest place to find or think of. But before the king could think of a place, he heard the kid's voice once more.
"Is there a place where Sara-chan likes most?"
After hearing the question, he finally thought about the 'anywhere' place. It is the only place inside his castle that makes him fell relaxed, aside from his room of course. It is the place where he stays most of the time when he was a kid. The garden. Without word, he led both of them to the garden.
"Wow!" the kid could only utter such surprised and glad expression. Of course who wouldn't? With such a huge place filled with beautiful flowers that are obviously well taken care of, anyone would be amazed. It's like a paradise.
"Do you like it?"
"Hai!"
While the two are having fun, Beryes on the other side is just staying hidden somewhere guarding his beloved king. And it amazed him to no end that the king that he knew ever since it was a kid could have fun. He was also surprised that his king brought the kid to the garden, which he loved the most. The kid was really something after all.
Yuuri continues on his stroll at the garden with Sara holding his hand. *guys, guys.. Calm down. I know you wanted to shoot Sara dead right now. Don't worry I'll leave him to you after this. You can do whatever you like to him +grins+*
---------
Rushed footsteps are heard through out the corridors of the castle. Obviously someone is looking for a certain person. Beryes felt a presence rushing towards them, he readied his weapons in case of worst scenario but when he felt that it was only one of their soldiers, he immediately put them back and waited for the person to arrive.
"Beryes-sama!" A soldier came running towards Sara's most loyal retainer.
"What is it?"
"A report just came in! A Mazoku ship is approaching to the docks!"
The report was even heard by the king in the garden. Beryes showed himself and looking at his king, waiting for any orders.
"Allow them." Saralegui stood up from sitting on the ground. "And prepare to greet them."
"Hai!" The soldier acknowledged the order and spread the new to the people inside the castle.
"Your Majesty."
Instead of answering Beryes, Sara turned to the kid and crouched until their eye level is the same. He smiled. "Looks like Yuu-chan is really something special after all."
"Eh?" Not fully understanding the words, the kid still gave his reply. "Sara-chan is special too! Nee?"
To his retainer's amazement, Saralegui just laughed.
---------
Back to the ship of Shin Makoku…
Yuuri's loyal subjects are just waiting for the signal that will come from Small Shimaron. It's not that easy to just enter a human country after all. If they really meant no harm, they should still wait for the order that they can land on the country. No one can just barge in and declare that they are just getting something back from a human country can't they? They are pretty sure that the guards that are assigned at the sea already saw them. And they also gave a message that they will arrive at Small Shimaron.
Every person's anticipation was cut by a noise coming from the storage room. It sounded like something exploded.
"Check that out!"
"I'll go with them." Conrad followed the soldier that Gwendal just ordered.
Arriving at the storage room, the two soldiers opened the door with alert eyes, anticipating something unexpected.
"Maa." A woman's voice was heard.
Looking at the scene of the crime, they found one barrel was destroyed, spilling the water inside it on the wooden floor. And there is a figure sitting at the spilled water. The said person was also soaking wet, and you would think that he just got out of a pond.
"Who are you?!" the soldier that was with Conrad automatically acted. Preparing to sue the intruder in their ship but Conrad raised his hand to stop him. The soldier looked at his higher official and found Conrad, looking surprised. Maybe he knew the woman.
"Con..rad?" the woman called out.
Were they acquaintances? Obviously, the two knew each other. but the question is how did the woman got inside the ship? They are sailing, and there's no way that you could enter the ship unless you entered before they began their trip. And there was no one that looks like the woman when they inspected the ship before sailing. How?
"Tell the others about this. Have them come here, especially His Highness." Conrad ordered. The soldier left and went back to the room where Gwendal and the others are obviously waiting.
--------
Conrad is taking his time!" Wolfram blurted out. A few minutes have passed and the guy that volunteered to check out the sound they heard is not yet there. Usually it would only take about five minutes to check things out but, fifteen minutes have already passed and there's still no report about the incident.
"Should I follow them, Your Excellency?" Yozak suggested. But before anyone could say a word, the soldier that was with Conrad a few minutes ago came back rushing.
"What's the matter? Where is Conrad?"
All are waiting for the answer.
"His Excellency wants the others to check the situation! Especially His Highness!"
"Huh?" the teen was surprised. What could have happened for him to check things out? The name 'Shinou' crossed his mind. He sighed. I hope that this does not have any concerns with you. "Alright."
Together with the others the group went to the storage room. Before even entering the room, they heard voices. It made them more alert than they were, thinking that there were intruders in the ship. Why would Conrad have a conversation with an intruder anyways?
"Weller-kyou?" Murata called out.
"Your Highness."
"Ara, Ken-chan?" a woman's voice said.
Woman's voice. A voice that he really knows.
"Ma..ma..-san?" He wasn't so sure. The storage room is dark, and he could only recognize Conrad's figure I the dark. But he can't be wrong. The voice resembles his friend's mother. Hamano Jennifer or known as Shibuya Miko.
Hearing the Sage saying those words, all of their attention drifted on the two.
"Hahaue?"
"Miko?"
The two went out of the dark, and out of the storage room. Upon entering the light, The other figure was revealed. A woman wearing a house-dress soaking wet with water. It was none other than the Maou's mother.
"Your Highness? Your Excellency?" Of course the other people like Yozak, and Hube haven't met their king's mother. They were left at the castle doing things when Conrad, Gwendal, Wolfram, and Günter—Which is left at the castle managing things while they are going to Small Shimaron. And for sure he is wailing right now for not having the chance to go with the team.— visited Earth in search for the last forbidden box.
"It's really, Ken-chan!" Miko hugged the teen.
"You're soaking wet, Mama-san. You should change first, you might catch a cold." Murata smiled at the woman, and then looked back to Conrad.
The soldier nodded. Understanding what the Sage meant. "Saa, Miko-san you should change first."
"Ah..Hai." They could continue the talking later, and besides it's really cold. It feels like they are sailing on the sea.
Conrad led the woman to a room and went back to the group. He heard Wolfram asked. "why is Hahaue here? How did he get in this ship? We're in the middle of the sea, right?"
"Calm down, Wolfram."
"I Have good guess." Everyone looked at Murata, and noticed the sudden change of mood. The sage's head hung low, as he was shaking violently. "That. Guy.." They all instinctively gulped as they saw the murderous aura from the teen filling the whole room.
"Your..High…ness??"
The conversation was interrupted when someone came in. it was none other than the Maou's mother. Finally dressed up.
Let the interrogation begin!
"Mama-san, what happened before you found your self here?" All gazes darted at the sage. He was asking rather calmly. Opposite of his mood a few seconds ago.
"Well.. I remember that I was cleaning the tub and filling it with water, but when I got my hand in, I suddenly cannot pull it out. Instead it pulled me in the water. And the next thing I knew is at the storage room." She looked at every person in the room. No doubt, the are Mazoku. "Ken-chan, where is this place?"
"Ah. You see mama-san, when you are in the water you got transported in this world."
"You mean, this is Yuu-chan's kingdom?!" She roamed her gazed in the room. "It's unique isn't it?"
Murata smiled awkwardly. "Not exactly. But this is the other world, mama-san."
"We are inside the ship, Miko-san." It was Conrad who explained. He noticed their sage is having a hard time picking what things to say to the Maou's mother. Of all the time in the world, she was transported in their world when things are very complicated for them. And there they are doubting if they could tell everything to the woman.
"You're traveling?" Miko's eyes sparkled with great delight. Not only she got the chance to visit her son's kingdom, but she can get to explore at the other world.
"Something like that." Everyone sweatdropped. They felt what is coming next. *drumrolls*
"Where's, Yuu-chan?" There you have it.
"We are going to get Shibuya, mama-san. I mean.. pick him up. He stayed on another place because of a… ah… meeting with the other country's king. Right. Meeting." Murata laughed nervously.
"Sou na no? Then, I'll go with you." The woman happily said while clapping her hands. She really enjoys this kinds of things, but unable to notice the different kind of atmosphere that is circling between them.
The sage glanced at Gwendal's side, silently saying to be considerate. They have no choice but to let here in, right?
"Geika." Conrad called out. Aside from himself, only Gwendal, and Wolfram are the only ones that can go with the conversation. Hube and Yozak remained quiet while listening, and at the same time waiting for the three to finally introduce the new comer.
"My bad. I forgot to introduce you to each other." Murata glanced on the Maou's mother. "You still haven't met them right, Mama-san?"
"Maa. I can't remember seeing them the last time you visited." Miko's eyes lit in excitement. "Who are they, Ken-chan?"
"This is Geigen Hube Brischella[1], and Yozak Grie. They are also Shibuya's subjects, Mama-san." Murata turned to the woman. "This is Shibuya Miko, Shibuya's mother."
"I'm pleased to meet you!" Accustomed to Japanese culture, given fact. She bowed on the two men.
"We are honored to meet you." Both men replied, showing off great respect to the woman that raised their king to be such a *cough* *cough* great man.
"So, that's it!—" But before the teen could say any more words a soldier came in and reported.
"what is it?"
"Small Shimaron finally sent a letter. We are now given the authorization to land our ship!"
Hearing this, Gwendal immediately ordered the preparation.
----------
Notes:
[1] I used the English style of pronouncing names here guys. Firstname-Secondname*If any*-Surname. But as for Miko-san, I used the Japanese way for her, Surname-Firstname. The reason's quite obvious right? She's a Japanese.
And also.. For the name calling, I'd still use Hube, and Yozak.. hehe..
