Chapter 1036

#Side Story 5. Bluebird in Pursuit of Happiness (4)

* * *

….

Bridge of El Dorado.

The space, which was originally mostly quiet, was now immersed in a slightly different silence than usual.

Limondo with a dumbfounded expression.

Even spirits that have hardened like scrap metal.

As if he couldn’t believe his own ears.

Or as if he doesn’t want to understand.

A space where a face or an emoticon appears as if it doesn’t know what it just heard.

However, among them, there was a certain person who was most bewildered by this situation.

“uh? “Yes?”

Like a fairy with a missing screw.

Or like a broken doll.

I blinked several times, saying something that didn’t make sense.

After a while, the Fairy Queen finally came to her senses and took a deep breath.

And then he smiled and smiled.

“I’m sorry, daughter. I guess my hearing has gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. “Can you repeat what you just said?”

A kind smile.

soft voice.

Even a gentle atmosphere.

That sight was so warm and reassuring that it made anyone feel at ease.

Yuna-kyung answered energetically.

“I asked the team leader to accept my mother as his bride.”

“yes……?”

…The problem was that the answer was so absurd.

For a long time, I thought of a question mark above my head as to why I heard the same nonsense twice.

It was as if he realized late that he had not heard wrong.

The Fairy Queen, who was causing an earthquake in her pupils, moved her lips for a while as if she didn’t know what to say, and finally opened her mouth to speak.

“Uh, well… First of all, did your daughter become the swordsman’s bride?”

“Oh right. I was recognized as the team leader’s bride! So please congratulate me.”

“Of course, it’s something to congratulate…”

“Plus, the fairy mom will be the team leader’s bride, so there’s twice as much to celebrate!”

“What do you mean by that?!?!”

I tried to calm the confusion somehow through normal conversation.

After hearing what Yuna-kyung said with a bright smile, the Fairy Queen unconsciously felt herself becoming dizzy.

However, Yu Na-kyung continued speaking calmly and weakly.

“Oh, now that I think about it, I had a question. “What is the fairy wedding style?”

“The fairy tribe originally reproduced parthenogenetically, so there is no culture of weddings. Rather, what you just said….”

“Then I think it would be a good idea to wear a wedding dress to the wedding. What do you think?”

“Of course, I think your daughter’s wedding dress looks good on you, but…”

“Hehehe, don’t worry. “If mom wears a wedding dress, she will definitely be prettier than me.”

“No, that…”

“The problem is the officiant. Have you ever thought about it…”

Why?

It’s getting more and more intense.

Of course, the more you listen, the more you become confused.

When the Fairy Queen doesn’t know what to do with Yu Na-kyung’s actions, which proceed without even giving her a chance to speak properly.

Pow!

“Kkuek?!”

Yuna-kyung fell forward.

She was holding the back of her head and screaming as she jumped up and screamed.

“Ugh, what are you doing to my beloved bride! “Team leader, I didn’t see it that way, but he was an abusive husband!”

“It’s because I did something that deserved it. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about to the Fairy Queen?!”

“That’s bullshit, I’m serious!”

“How can you say such crazy things and then be serious?”

Limon shouted loudly.

The Fairy Queen is the first absolute being who has protected humanity since the golden age.

Even he is one of the few people I respect.

He came to her hoping to get permission to marry her, but she was saying crazy things that even Catherine wouldn’t say, so he couldn’t help but be angry.

But right after that.

Limon paused.

“It can’t be helped! “This is the only way to save my fairy sister… no, my mother!”

“….”

“What do you mean, daughter?”

Yuna-kyung spoke in a calm voice to the Fairy Queen, who finally came to her senses and opened her eyes wide.

“…Actually, I knew that too. “From the moment she passed on half of her wings to me, my mother became terminally ill.”

It was natural.

It was thanks to the power contained in the wings of the Fairy King that the Fairy Queen was able to transform from an ordinary human being into a fairy race and live until now.

It was impossible to continue surviving by giving only half of the wings.

And although it was to help Limon, Yuna-kyung felt guilty about receiving her wings.

“So, for the past 20 years, I kept wondering if there was a way to save my mother… and thanks to the team leader, I finally found a way.”

“…Are you really saying to make the Fairy Queen a star fairy as well?”

“That was one of the ways I thought about it. “It’s impossible now.”

Yuna-kyung shook her head.

The reason she was able to become a star fairy was because she received star power from Limon over the years.

Considering the Fairy Queen’s current state, there was a greater possibility that she would lose her life before being reborn as a Star Fairy.

What’s even worse is that Plato’s carving knife, which Limon needs to grant star power, was damaged in the fight with the Sword Demon and has not been repaired yet.

But fortunately, that wasn’t the only method Yuna-kyung prepared.

“The best method I found was the magic that the team leader used to save his student sister!”

“…Are you sure you mean ‘the prince’s kiss’?”

“yes.”

Although the probability of success is low, once successful, it is a miraculous magic that can save even a dying patient.

Kyung Yuna had a serious expression as she spoke about the magic that Cyr improved upon and saved even Anastasia, who was supposed to be dead.

“Of course, that alone is not enough. “Magic is by no means omnipotent.”

“….”

“So I created a new magic.”

Even if she was taught by the Sorcerer Queen, she had an innate magical talent that rose to the level of a great witch in just a few years.

Squeeze out all that talent.

Over 20 years of time.

A magic of his own invention.

Yuna-kyung said.

“The magic ‘Fairy Kiss’ resonates and amplifies our fairy power.”

It is a magic inspired by the resonance of dragon psionics.

It was a magic that she was able to create because Yuna Kyung had more opportunities to encounter dragon psionics than any other witch and even gained star power that transcended providence.

“The problem is that this magic has limitations.”

“….”

“One is that it needs the power of love because it was created based on the prince’s kiss, and the other is….”

“It is true that dragon psionics and star power must be added for it to be truly effective. “Are you going to do it?”

“yes. “I may be a witch, but in order to create such miraculous magic with my abilities, I had no choice but to borrow other powers.”

“…That’s why you asked me to make the Fairy Queen your bride.”

“The only person who meets all the conditions is the team leader.”

Limon had a complicated expression.

The fact that Yuna-kyung had some basis for saying something crazy out of nowhere.

More than anything, the truth that she had been worrying about this alone for the past 20 years without his knowledge disturbed him.

And I wasn’t the only one whose mind became complicated.

“I appreciate your consideration, daughter, but you don’t have to. “I have already enjoyed more than enough life and there is nothing left to spare.”

quietly.

The Fairy Queen smiled.

Although he was very embarrassed at first, he was very happy about Yu Na-kyung’s concern and consideration for him.

Of course, I had no intention of accepting that consideration.

From the Golden Age to now.

For her, who has lived for a long time even by the standards of fairies, let alone humanity, even death is not an object of fear, but only an opportunity for rest.

“-lie.”

“yes?”

“Don’t lie! No matter how long someone has lived, there is no way that anyone would be happy to die!”

That was why.

The reason why the Fairy Queen had no choice but to look embarrassed again when Yuna-kyung shouted out loud.

And Yuna-kyung asked her in a questioning manner.

“More than anything, fairy sister, have you ever been truly happy?”

“Happiness?”

“Have you ever had the pleasure of breaking away from your duties and responsibilities as a fairy queen and doing something you truly wanted to do?”

“Of course…”

the Fairy Queen tried to say.

Of course there is.

However, there was one reason why she had no choice but to blurt out her words.

‘…was it there?’

Because I didn’t remember.

To protect humanity.

To prepare for the constellation.

Also, for the resurrection of the fairy race.

Have you ever had a time when you enjoyed something different in your life, which you have worked tirelessly for over tens of thousands of years?

The only enjoyable thing was watching Limon’s actions, and that was ultimately something he started to do to lend his strength as a protector of humanity.

Yu Na-kyung continued speaking as if the Fairy Queen’s attitude was the answer in itself.

“It’s over now.”

“You lived for all those years only for humanity.”

“But as soon as you are relieved of your duties, you die without ever enjoying peace? “I don’t understand that!”

Clenched fist.

A cry filled with injustice.

A face full of resentment.

She ended her sentence with all her emotions intact.

“My fairy sister, no, my mom deserves to be happy now!”

“Ah…”

At her cry.

The Fairy Queen groaned.

Because I finally realized it.

How selfish was his last request to her to be his adoptive daughter because of his regret of not having children.

For Yuna-kyung, who was hungry for family affection as an orphan, how much of a pain it would be to lose her family.

…I thought I had no regrets in life, but I actually realized how many regrets I had.

It was Limon who spoke on behalf of the Fairy Queen, who was at a loss for words.

“Na-kyung, I understand how you feel, but… there is a critical problem with using that method.”

“What’s the problem?”

“To use the magic you created, you need the power of true love.”

Limon had a complicated expression.

The Fairy Queen was clearly someone he admired, but if you asked him if he loved him, he could only shake his head.

However, in response to Limon’s point, Yuna-kyung spoke without any hesitation.

“You don’t need to worry about that. “In this magic, true love doesn’t have to be a two-way street.”

“What does that mean?”

“It’s simple.”

In the first place, the prince’s kiss, the prototype of a fairy’s kiss, is a magic completed by the prince’s one-sided love.

He explains that the opposite is also true.

Yuna-kyung spoke clearly.

“It means that my mom likes the team leader very much.”

“…yes?”

That moment.

The Fairy Queen, who had a heartbroken face just a moment ago, looked dumbfounded again at Yu Na-kyung’s explosive remarks.

And only after a while did he suddenly come to his senses and open his mouth.

“Now wait a minute. “Daughter, what do you mean by that?”

“What do you mean? Mom, you said this the first time you saw the team leader, right? “You must be a long-time fan.”

“Hey, your daughter? It’s true that I like swordplay, but that’s just pure fandom. “It’s not love.”

“What’s different?”

“yes?”

“Fanship is ultimately a type of unrequited love.”

“….”

“Honestly, if you get a marriage proposal from someone you’ve been crushing on, you’d usually be so happy that you would accept it, right?”

“No, but that’s…”

The Fairy Queen, who was suddenly forced into love, didn’t know what to do.

But Yuna-kyung did not stop.

The Fairy Queen likes Limon.

He simply revealed, without hesitation, the reason he could assert and the reason he knew for sure.

“Besides, mom, you even said that it doesn’t matter if you have an affair as long as the team leader is your partner.”

“Daughter, what are you saying in front of your son-in-law?!?!”
