Novel Full Chapter 1093: Fated Decision
“What a surprise to actually meet the moon princess in reality…”
Mini Bubble Gum said in a lowered voice to Canary who sat beside her. They gazed at Erin who sat on the sofa with a gentle smile and sized them up curiously. Canary nodded with an odd expression before letting out a sigh. Erin had rescued both of them who were in the train that was falling off the tracks. Thereafter, she brought them, along with the train, to the border of the Americas Region, before transforming back to her human form in front of their very eyes. This baffled Canary and Mini Bubble Gum. They were veteran players. Back then, even though it wasn’t Starlight that had killed the moon princess, they knew what Erin looked like. Even Mini Bubble Gum, whose thoughts other people couldn’t keep up with, didn’t treat this young lady as a player who ‘cosplayed’ as the moon princess. After all, the enormous dragon form definitely wasn’t an illusion!
But what surprised both of them was that this moon princess seemed to be really familiar with them. Not only did she call out their names, but she also requested help from them to bring her to a safe place to lay low temporarily. Although they didn’t know what was going on exactly and why the murdered moon princess in the game would suddenly show up here, they eventually accepted her request. No matter what, it was impossible to refuse this powerful being. Moreover, Mini Bubble Gum and Canary didn’t receive answers to the doubts in their heads yet because they just couldn’t figure out where this moon princess came from. Even if this were in the game, they didn’t have many interactions with the moon princess in the past. But now, the moon princess seemed friendly and kind toward them, which left them scratching their heads.
Fortunately, the clash earlier happened in the core of the region and the outside wasn’t impacted. That was why Mini Bubble Gum and Canary managed to find a hotel to settle down temporarily. At this moment, they finally had the mood to discuss matters with the moon princess.
“Yeah…”
Canary nodded upon hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s lament. But in terms of appearance, Canary seemed much calmer than Mini Bubble Gum. Shortly after, she turned around to grab a few cans of beverages from the fridge, before bringing them to Erin, who was seated on the living room sofa and sizing up the monitor curiously.
“Your Highness Erin, please have a drink.”
“Oh. Thanks, Canary.”
The voice transmitting into her head was as clear as crystal and Canary was used to it by now. Even though she was somewhat baffled from the start, Erin and them quickly realized that if Erin spoke using her mouth, they couldn’t understand her at all as though she was speaking the language of a heavenly book. Therefore, speaking through spiritual communication would make things faster and more convenient.
Taking the can of cola from Canary, Erin shook it slightly, before placing it by her ear curiously. This object seemed like some sort of a vessel to store water, but how exactly should she open it? At this thought, Erin puckered her brows and scanned every part of it. She reached out for the ring-pull with her fingers and in the sound of a ‘click’, the sealed can opened and for some unknown reason, the excited Mini Bubble Gum who was observing Erin’s actions curled her lips boringly after witnessing her reaction.
“Really… no fun at all…”
“What a peculiar drink.”
Taking a sip of the cola, Erin cocked her head and savored the unique taste of the carbonated beverage. She narrowed her eyes comfortably.
“Hmm… this is interesting. I like it a lot.”
“I’m glad you do, Your Highness Erin.”
Even though Canary and Mini Bubble Gum didn’t know how to face this princess who came out of nowhere, they decided to treat her like a character of the game. Besides, based on the current situation, this princess didn’t seem to be any different from her character in the game. Be it personality or whatnot, she was exactly the same as the popular moon princess.
“By the way… where exactly is this place?”
After Erin finished tasting this peculiar beverage, she casually asked the question that was hidden deep inside her mind.
“I thought this is the Chaos Beings’ nest, but it just doesn’t seem like it. It is also apparent that strict rules and regulations exist here. However, I can still sense the presence of Chaos…”
“Erm…”
Canary and Mini Bubble Gum exchanged complicated looks with each other. Of course, they understood what Erin meant, but… Chaos Beings? Didn’t they only show up after the collapse of the Country of Darkness?
“About that… How did you get here, Your Highness Erin?”
“I was on my way to the Void Territory and was ambushed by Chaos Beings. I thought I had defeated them, but never did I expect the last remaining Chaos Being to cast a mysterious spatial spell that sucked me in. When I returned to my senses, I found myself here.”
Erin said, spread her arms apart helplessly.
“Besides, I was attacked again after arriving here, so I thought this must definitely be the Chaos Beings’ nest. Also, I detected the presences of several Chaos Beings here, which was why I decided to eliminate them all. But in the end, I was faced with unimaginable resistance.”
“Resistance, huh… By the way, are you feeling alright, Your Highness?”
At this moment, Mini Bubble Gum seemed to recall something. She sized up the young lady curiously and asked. Erin’s human form was as beautiful as she was in the game. Not only that, but the elegant and gorgeous long dress was also spotless and didn’t seem like it was just involved in several battles.
Facing her doubt, Erin shook her head.
“I’m fine, but the final retaliation from them startled me. I didn’t expect them to be so powerful. But it isn’t too difficult for me to resist that sort of attack. For some reason, I found myself in good shape here. There doesn’t seem to be any issues…”
“…”
Mini Bubble Gum’s and Canary’s expressions instantly became amused. Of course, they knew the reason behind it. Erin was known as the moon princess who absorbed power from the moon. Her strength would increase according to the shape of the moon and now, they were currently standing on the moon… which could be considered her home turf.
But the fact that nuclear warheads failed to hurt her one bit let both of them have a deeper understanding that this moon princess was no pushover.
“So then, what plans do you have, Your Highness?”
Canary and Mini Bubble Gum exchanged looks and asked. Even though they had learned most of the causes and effects… it still shouldn’t be something for them to get involved in.
“Hmm…”
Upon hearing their question, Erin closed her eyes, pondered for a few moments, and said, “Those escaped Chaos Beings should still be around here somewhere. I will try to find and destroy them all and see if I can head back. No matter what, I can’t stand idly by and watch them bring disaster to the world. Besides, since those people have joined forces with Chaos and became their lackeys, destroying them is the only way. Of course, if it doesn’t work, I can only wait for rescue here. Perhaps His Majesty Rhode and the rest will come up with some ideas…”
“I see… hmm? W-Wait! Rhode?!”
The two young ladies were surprised. They lifted their heads quickly, gazing at Erin in bafflement. They had a headache earlier from listening to her words and thought of stopping her since they were aware of the laws in this world. Although Chaos and Order couldn’t coexist together in the Dragon Soul Continent, this was a different world, after all… If they allowed the moon princess to destroy the entire Americas Region, who knew what conflicts would happen on Earth. But it was somewhat too late at this point.
But shortly after, they heard a name that immediately made them throw this thought to the back of their heads.
“Are you talking about Leader?”
“Leader? Come to think of it, it does seem like that’s how you have refer to His Majesty Rhode…”
“W-Wait!”
The always calm and steady Canary uncharacteristically whipped out her phone, tapped the screen, and an illusory image appeared in midair. The person who they couldn’t be more familiar with appeared before them.
“Is this the person you’re referring to?”
“Hmm… yes, that’s His Majesty Rhode alright.”
Upon hearing Canary’s question, Erin nodded with absolute certainty. But she was apparently more interested in the strange object called a ‘phone’ in her hand. Shortly after, she shifted her gaze toward the two young ladies.
“By the way, this is indeed sort of weird. Both of you should know who His Majesty Rhode is, but… hmmm. I’m not too sure what’s going on. In the Dragon Soul Continent, you two are always following him around, aren’t you? That was why I was surprised when I saw both of you here. But now… it seems so strange. Your appearances and scents are exactly the same and yet, you no longer possess that powerful strength. What’s going on?”
“Ahhhh, so Leader went to the Dragon Soul Continent and brought us there with him? Hold on, what is going on? Big Sister!”
Upon hearing Erin’s answer, Mini Bubble Gum went out of control. She hugged her head and pondered hard, but couldn’t figure out exactly what happened. On the other hand, Canary knitted her brows and thought about it for a while. Then, she asked, “Your Highness Erin, has Rhode… always been a person of your world?”
“Come to think of it… it is still a mystery regarding His Majesty Rhode’s background that even our Country of Darkness is only aware that he showed up all of a sudden in the Munn Kingdom a year ago…”
“I see!”
Suddenly, Mini Bubble Gum clenched her fists in excitement and jumped to her feet.
“Big Sister, Leader has transmigrated! Yes, he must have transmigrated! Huh? But we didn’t transmigrate… no-no-no, there must be a problem somewhere! Yes… I’ve decided!”
Mini Bubble Gum yelled and as though making a firm resolution, she clapped her palms together, lifted her head, and gazed at Erin.
“Your Highness Erin, let us stay by your side. I want to see what exactly is going on!”
“Huh?”
Canary was speechless.
