. . . "Ah yes," Agatheina nodded. "They're your maids and lost memories of their previous selves?" "They were indeed the unfortunate victims of that world's curse," I said. "I don't know why or how it assimilated them so quickly but… I am also slowly helping them recover their memories. Though they seem so happy and fulfilled with their lives, that I don't really know what to think…" "Jonette has been quite worried about them lately," Alice said. "I guess she'll be happy to go right away if it means she can see her family members again. "I will call her for you, Kireina-sama." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂 "Thank you dear," I nodded. "Now… who else?" Aside from them, there were only two more people interested. "I would like to go," said Nanako. "That country you've described… it seems so similar to my own Country. It feels like the Records of that world must have influenced how it was built, and it might even be related to my own evolutions, the origin of my race, and even the myths and history of my Country." "I see, makes sense, Japan is full of mysteries and myths," I nodded. "Alright then… And…?" "Me! Me!" a fluffy tailed squirrel girl said, looking at me with hopeful, golden and orange-colored eyes. "I would love to go there as well for similar reasons to Nanako! My evolution, my name, and the origins of my power… they stem from the Records of Amaterasu. I would like to find for myself what's the origin of all of this." It was nobody else but Kaguya, the nine-tailed fluffy squirrel girl, and also a Dark Squirrel from the Grand Forest, she has a few other siblings too. "Alright! Sure thing Kaguya, no problem," I nodded. "Would you like to bring someone along?" "No… I'll go on my own," Nanako said. "Once I'm there, I'll contact you right away, Kireina-sama." "Yes, I'll bring my siblings! Kuraen and Yamiyo should be happy to go," Kaguya smiled with a nod. "Very well," I nodded. "We don't know what might be of them though, Kaguya, it isn't a guaranteed thing that they'll stay with you." "I know, but you'll help me find them, right?" she giggled. "Ah, well, of course," I nodded. "If you're ready then that's that… I'll begin preparations right away… Phew! That was a nice dinner, right everyone? I've decided to stay here for at least a few weeks, so let's make sure to enjoy the time we have. I was quite curious about this Academy; I may take a visit tomorrow." "Sounds like a good plan guu!" Rimuru said happily. "How about we go somewhere now?" "Let's go to the mall! I want to buy new clothes," Scarlet said. "I want ice cream," Nirah said. "I want to go to the beach!" Fafnir said. "It's better than the boring mall." "Nuh-huh, the mall is better because it has everything you could ever want," Scarlet said. "How about we go to the mall near the beach and then to the beach?" Ailine asked. "Yeah!" Vudia said. "Let's not fight over it, little siblings! We can do multiple things at once." "Okay then? Let's do that," I nodded. "Shall we?" At the end I went with my kids and a few of their mothers to that place. Of course, not everyone came, not everyone would be suddenly interested in sharing the same thing, and we were a gigantic group, so it was for the better. The Dark Moon Empire had grown so much too, and there were now a lot of streets everywhere, flying magic cars, giant buildings, and also a lot of parks that merged the Grand Forest's greenery with this urban city. "Mama, it's over here!" "Oh, I see." While we walked through the streets, and a lot of people stopped to look at us with surprise, Vudia pointed into the distance, there was indeed a beach there. How? Well, it was originally the Lake in the middle of the Grand Forest, which had grown immensely big through this entire time. It was now wide, and connected to the sea, so it was like a pocket of the ocean in here, the gate to the Aquaria Kingdom was also always open now, and people from the Kingdom came and went through floating highways that led there, and even tubes filled with flowing water. There was now a huge beach surrounding it, with many buildings, such as shops, malls, and even a beach park of sorts, where activities were done by the community daily. "See mama? It's pretty neat!" my cute mermaid daughter said, Belle. She had grown up quite a lot as well, alongside Vudia and Ailine, and she was now around their height, without counting her long fish-like tail, of dark purple and white scales. Her long hair waved, one half was blonde, and the other black. Her fairy wings had also grown quite big, similarly divided in color too. She was born with a very unique "Eclipsing" Affinity of Light and Darkness, which also affected her appearance. "We've been working on this for a while now," Adelle smiled, the beautiful queen of Aquaria, the former princess of this Kingdom which I had raised to become the Queen, and which I had married, conceiving our cute Belle. Her beautiful pink and golden eyes looked at me with her usual smugness, and her long, dazzling blonde hair divided into two short drill-shaped ponytails always made her look dazzling, especially with her long fish tail with white and golden scales. Today she was wearing a gorgeous white dress. "Do you like it, my wife? For a while that Aquarius has been quite separated from the Dark Moon Empire for quite a while," she said. "But with this, we are truly connected, and citizens can now move between cities all the time! It took quite a while to design everything, but Charlotte helped quite a lot. She's also a really great architect." "I'm quite pleased with the results, quite honestly! Well done, Adelle." . . .
