Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

"Promise...you'll protect me? And I can use you as a model?"

"The second half hasn't been confirmed yet." Sieg ate another piece of apple pie, "But it's just like you said. Although the rebels have been basically wiped out by Miss Tina, I brought you up because you may be needed later."

"From now on, you will live on this ship. Although it is a bit lonely here, it is safe and guaranteed. I will also give you a separate room. You can paint as you like. If you go to other planets in the future, you can also go down to collect folk songs—"

Go to other planets to collect inspiration?

Hearing what Sieg said, Sarah suddenly felt a surge of strength from nowhere, and jumped over Tina who was sandwiched between them and pounced on Sieg: "Other planets... Can you take me to places like Mars and Jupiter? Can we go to planets in other galaxies?"

"Well, theoretically it's possible - besides, you should stand up first. Miss Tina has a bad temper. She will get angry if you hold her down like this."

"Who are you calling a bad-tempered person?"

Tina glared at Zieg and lifted Sarah off her body. "Get out of here, you cow. What did you eat to grow up?"

"Um...you are?"

"She is Miss Tina, her full name is [Gargantina]. Like me, she is an alien to you, and we were born on the same planet—"

[Ah~~~Ah~~~Well, sorry to interrupt.]

Just as Sieg was introducing Tina to Sarah, Em's voice suddenly sounded over the dining area radio.

[It's almost time for the next air raid to begin. Those of you who are eating, please be careful not to spill food on yourself.]

[Also, our Captain, the work of resurrecting Princess Crimson Lotus is almost finished, would you like to go take a look? ]

"Eh? Is it almost over?"

[After all, it's been several days. Next time, please don't bring back a corpse that looks like it's been dead for more than half a month. It's very troublesome to revive it.]

[The clothes and everything are ready. You or someone else should remember to go to the bathroom and get her out. I'm going to prepare for the airstrike. It was you who decided to start the war, so why am I in charge of both the airstrike and intelligence control?]

"Because... Miss Em, you really participated in a war before."

[*Interstellar swearing*! ]

[Think carefully about how to make up for the magic power you used up this time! ]

"It doesn't matter. Magic power is not a problem at all."

Zig took another bite of his apple pie.

"Didn't you say that? A very high-quality source of magic power is about to revive."

126. The Resurrection of the Red Lotus Princess

Stella felt like she was in the ocean.

The water-like touch enveloped every corner of her body, moisturizing every inch of her skin.

It may sound strange to say this, but Stella felt as if she had returned to before she was born, back to her mother's body.

But the weird thing is...

(Am I still alive?)

Stella remembered that she should have been dead.

She tried her best to challenge the man she always wanted to surpass, but in the end she was killed by him again because of her weakness.

To be honest, Stella had no complaints about her defeat and death. She believed that as a warrior and challenger, she had tried her best to realize her dream in the most regret-free way. Even if she failed to realize it completely in the end, she was already satisfied.

At the moment of facing her own death, Stella felt an unprecedented satisfaction.

But now——

(Am I really still alive?)

As this thought emerged in her sea of ​​consciousness, Stella tried to move her hands and feet.

"Wow..."

She felt the liquid flowing all over her body, and the warm and moist touch spread all over her body, making Stella so comfortable that she couldn't help but moan.

And at this moment, Stella suddenly felt a buoyancy acting on her back, gently pushing her in a direction probably upwards?

“Hua La La La~~~~”

The sound of water running sounded.

Stella could clearly feel a large amount of liquid flowing down her body. The warm and moist touch quickly faded away, and finally remained at a point where only her back could feel it, while her front seemed to be exposed in the air.

A slight strange feeling made Stella subconsciously want to open her eyes.

“…Hmm…”

With a muffled groan, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

What Princess Crimson Lotus saw was a dome covered with crystal water droplets, like the ceiling of a bathhouse.

“I… this is…”

Slowly raising her body, Stella glanced around - she was in a bathroom that looked even bigger than the one in the Famillion Palace. The reason why she could feel the wet warmth soaking through her body was because she was completely immersed in the bathtub.

By the way, the reason why she could sit on the water now was because a platform rose up in the bathtub, lifting her whole body up.

"clatter......"

Lifting her smooth and plump legs, Stella walked out of the bathtub, sat down at the nearby shampooing table, and looked at herself in the mirror.

What appeared in the mirror was a plump body without any flaws, perfect enough to be called the body of a goddess. Compared with the self in Stella's memory, her skin now seemed to be even better?

"...So, where is this place?"

Stella frowned in confusion.

If she remembered correctly, she was in the semi-finals of the Seven Star Swordsmanship Competition with Sieg before she lost consciousness, and she was defeated by Sieg again and killed by him. Half of her body was completely destroyed.

But now, Stella Famillion in the mirror was intact, without any trace of injury at all.

(What the hell is going on?)

Am I coming back from the dead?

(Is it the [dragon's vitality]?)

Stella knew that her ability was so strong that she could even heal fatal injuries as long as she had enough magic power. But she had no magic power left before she died, so it should be impossible for her to achieve a step further than "healing fatal injuries" and "resurrecting from the dead".

So what is she now——

"I say, how long are you going to stay in there?"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from outside the door not far away.

Stella quickly looked towards the closed door: "......Sieg?"

"Yes, it's me. Now that you're awake, come out. Your clothes have been left at the door. Remember to change when you come out. I'll wait for you outside."

"......"

Stella stood up and walked to the door. She fumbled with the touch screen on the wall for a while and then pressed it.

"Ka————"

The automatic door opened immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, Stella picked up a towel from the side and wrapped her body with it. She summoned the Feilong Sin Sword and walked out carefully.

After coming outside, what came into view was a room that looked like a gymnasium locker room. There was a basket on a chair not far away. Stella walked over and took a look.

[Your new clothes are of the right size. Please come out after you put them on]

There was a note like this on a pile of clothes.

It could be seen that it was Sieg's handwriting. After all, among the people Stella knew, Sieg's handwriting was one of the ugliest.

After hesitating for a while again, Stella sighed slightly and put on the new clothes in front of the mirror beside her.

(Hmm... the size is surprisingly suitable?)

Just like the message, the size of the clothes was perfect, making Stella wonder if it was tailored exactly to her body shape. Moreover, the texture of the clothes was better than any other fabric she knew. It was extremely light to wear and there was no problem with movement at all.

The only problem is that the clothes are silver-gray in color, which doesn't match her hair color.

After changing her clothes, Stella used her supernatural power to dry her hair while walking around the room. Finally, she stopped in front of another closed door and reached out to press the touch screen on the wall next to her.

"Ka————"

The automatic door opened, and Stella walked into the next room and saw Sieg sitting on a sofa.

Seeing her come out, Zieg closed the book in his hand and put it aside, smiling and saying, "Oh, you finally came out - how does it feel to be resurrected from the dead? Is it more unforgettable than the last time?"

"...From your tone, it seems like you resurrected me?"

"What else? Although I didn't contribute much, the ownership of all the things used to revive you belongs to me, so it's okay to say that I resurrected you."

Sieg stood up and said, "I know you have just been resurrected, so you must have a lot of questions to ask. Don't worry, I will answer them one by one later. Before that, I will take you to eat. It took more than four days to resurrect you. You must be starving, right?"

"Now that you mention it..."

Gu~~~~~!

Stella's stomach, which had not felt anything at first, suddenly made a loud noise.

"Uh...I'm definitely hungry."

"I knew it. Come with me. I have asked someone to prepare food for you. You will definitely be well fed."

127.Don't talk, I'm surprised

Under Sieg's guidance, Stella walked through the futuristic and sci-fi corridor of the Klingheed and came to the dining area.

After arriving here——

"------!"

Seeing the figure coming out of the kitchen, Stella's body trembled and shook violently several times: "That, that is... [Biyi]?!"

"Hmm? Here I come."

Edwards, who came out of the kitchen again with freshly baked cookies, saw the two of them and nodded with a smile: "The cookies are just baked, come and eat them."

"Well, I'll be right there, teacher - Miss Brunhilde. Is Stella's lunch ready?"

【Yes】

Pushing a food cart, Brunhilde came to the dining table and quickly placed ten full roasted dragon legs on the table. The unusually large portion made the table shake slightly.

Patting Stella on the shoulder, Zieg urged, "Okay, go eat."

"Oh... no!"

Shaking her head vigorously, Stella pointed at Edwards with a horrified face: "She...she...isn't she the [Biyi]! The [World's Most Vicious Criminal]! How could she be here? And you just called her...called her [Teacher]——?!"

"Yes, Miss Edelweiss was my swordsmanship teacher. Although it was only a few months ago, you know I was away training for several months, right?" Sieg sat down at the dining table. "The fake story is that I was tracking Akatsuki Academy at the time, but the truth is that I was already learning swordsmanship from Miss Edelweiss at that time - helping Akatsuki Academy was considered as the [tuition] for learning swordsmanship."

"you......"

"Don't be surprised for now. If you don't want to eat it, I will. These were originally my food reserves. I specially gave them to you this time. Don't forget it."

“I…I eat!”

Stella came to the opposite side of Sieg cautiously and sat down somewhat uneasily.

After sitting down, Stella discovered that there were two other people at the table besides Biyi.

"You are... Sarah Labdlily from Akatsuki Academy? The one who defeated Kurogane?"

"Ok?"

Sarah, who was eating cake in small bites, nodded slightly: "It's me... Hello, Princess Red Lotus, can I draw a portrait of you later?"

"Eh?"

"Never mind—then just eat and listen to me."

Sieg picked up the drink Brunhilde placed next to him and took a sip: "Actually, I am an alien to you."
