Well, while I was circling around the entrance, it seems that my sister and the man with her had already left.
Hania held the part of her dress that was wet, as if trying to hide it, and stood there.
No one was trying to speak to her.
There was no one who would criticize the notorious Nier family's sister and use that as an opening to start a conversation.
"Why doesn't anyone lend a hand?"
"Ah, it's Nonna's fault. That trash is still technically the eldest daughter of the Romias family, and if you catch her eye, she's persistent and devious."
Wow, a low, unpleasant voice came from Stor, more so than when he was cursing Mimachi.
I don't know what kind of family the Romias family is, but it must be a high-ranking one. It seems like Stor is about to be kicked out or something.
The man with my sister...
"Do you know him?"
"......"
The silence seemed to say that she didn't even want to acknowledge him as an acquaintance.
"I hope you'll stop polluting the air soon. That's what I wish every time I see you."
Stor, you're scary!
In a light, almost cute voice, it sounded like he was cursing!
That means 'die,' right!?
While having such a conversation, Stor and I stood in front of her, drawing attention.
"Excuse me, Lady Hania Fulc."
Stor knelt on one knee and set me down.
The fire spirit, who had been hugging Hania as if to protect her, looked at us with shining eyes.
A strong guardian spirit!
I couldn't see it from the aisle side. Specialized in fire?
It was about the same size as Hania, and the dress design matched the spirit's!
Then, a young leaf-green spirit, enveloped in the king's magic, gently descended.
Several men in the audience changed their expressions and approached us.
Maybe they have magic eyes?
"Ah, the king's guardian spirit?"
The spirit narrowed its eyes and smiled, absorbing the king's magic and extending threads of magic from both hands.
"Eh? Do you have magic eyes too?"
"Yes, I'll fix the dress. The king, the king's spirit, says to use its power, right?"
One thread extended to my spider's abdomen, the other to the fire spirit.
While extending the leaf-green thread, the king's spirit looked at the fire spirit as if asking, "Is it okay?"
The fire spirit nodded vigorously.
"I am Yui. The maiden of the needle."
Stor handed me the needle he had been holding.
I threaded the leaf-green thread provided by the spider through the needle.
I condensed the magic into a thin, solid needle.
I threaded the thread, made from the spirit's power and the king's magic, through the needle.
Fire is not just for burning.
Fire, the sun, light
The power to nurture plants
The fire spirit accepted the green power and became even stronger.
Vines of young leaves grew and leaves flourished on the crimson dress.
As if to protect and cherish them.
Hehe, the current king, unlike Arjitt, is in love with Hania!
The stains and wet parts of the dress were absorbed by the green.
"Amazing, doing this simultaneously...!"
Yeah, I tried it for the first time. Since the design was the same, I managed to do it simultaneously.
The sewing was loose, and it was the skirt part of the dress, so I covered that too.
"Phew, completed."
"You must be the reincarnation of the first generation? Such wonderful protective sewing... it's like magic!"
No, I was an ordinary Japanese person in my previous life.
Her spirit hugged her happily, and she smiled softly.
Hania also returned a soft smile.
Wow!
Her smile was even more beautiful and cute than I imagined!
Everyone who saw it felt a heartwarming moment! I felt it too. Since I can see the spirit, the effect is doubled.
Moreover, that smile was directed at me.
"Thank you! And I'm sorry, can I ask you for a favor? I want to return the favor to them."
Hania somehow managed to produce a handful of magic and handed it to the spirit.
The spirit absorbed the magic and extended threads.
"In terms of quantity, one flower for the leaf-green spirit and one for the king... is that okay?"
"Ah!"
With lace weaving, a crimson flower
One bloomed on the chest of the leaf-green spirit, and one in Hania's hand.
"Beautiful."
"Yui-sama, here's a drink."
Somehow, Mimachi had appeared with a cup, in a first-class maid mode.
It was a drink like yuzu tea, good for the throat.
"The king and Arjitt-sama will be here soon, so let's go. Yui-sama, Hania-sama."
As Mimachi extended her hand to guide us towards the throne, the crowd naturally parted.
It was like magic.
We are the king's associates, right? That's how we deterred people who were about to call out to us.
Most people were apparently paying attention to us.
I could faintly hear, "First generation," "Reincarnation."
Huh? Don't they think she's the eldest daughter of the Nier family, who was abandoned?
My doubt must have shown on my face. Mimachi whispered, "Ah."
"Yui-sama's appearance and her skill in protective sewing are hard to associate with that person's bloodline."
"Indeed."
"?"
Stor agreed, and Hania tilted her head.
"Are you not the reincarnation of the first generation?"
"Yui-sama's guardian is Carlos Tiera Rodan, currently the maiden of the needle for Arjitt-sama. I am Mene Stor, Yui-sama's knight."
"Eh? Then..."
"Originally, Nier Yui? Ah, the reincarnation of the first generation is more convincing, isn't it? ☆"
I was an ordinary Japanese person in my previous life!
