Campione! - Volume 20 - Chapter Pr2

Prologue 

A robust large man whose body was wrapped in sultan outfit. 

That was the outside appearance of fairy king Al Shaitan. A turban was wrapped on his head, and on top of his long sleeved gown was a long vest that reached until his kneed being put on. 

A splendid beard was growing on his face, his appearance wasn’t that much different from a middle-aged male. 

(That was if the sharply pointed ears and bright red skin color that looked like fire were excluded though.) 

Just before the start of devil king civil war, there was a dialogue between this king of genie tribe that had its root from the Middle East and John Pluto Smith. 

The genie palace that was built in a desert oasis. 

Both of them were facing each other at the terrace that was established by the window there.

「Be very careful with the corridor of the witch Aisha.」 

Al Shaitan spoke seriously. 

He possessed dignity that was fitting for someone who was considered as the leader of the twelve fairy kings.

「Even you are already aware of the dreadfulness of the chaos that is brought about by that. The watchman of history has his mind troubled for many years……」

「True. I have been told several times by the sir watchman himself. But」 

Smith easily warded off the warning. 

「Just because of that doesn’t mean that I must not take risk! Fortunately, I am familiar with dealing against any chaos whatsoever.」

「Truly a speech that is very like you, masked godslayer-dono.」 

Al Shaitan nodded solemnly.

「Then go. I too will advance my preparation to be ready for that time. I will also arrange for the aforementioned thing right away and entrust it to you.」

「It will be helpful if I can have you do that for me.」

「Huh! The destination that corridor will connect to――will be the past or somewhere in the fairy realm without exception. If that the case then something can be done! Rather……」 

The trouble will be fewer if the way it works is the reverse, stop sc――! 

Al Shaitan swallowed back the rash remark in order to maintain his dignity. Imagining that, Smith smiled behind his mask. 

If the leader of fairy kings was like this, then surely the persuasion to the other kings were also going swimmingly.

「By the way」 

Smith changed the topic.

「Can I ask you to introduce the lady over there any time now?」

「But of course. After all I ask her to come here today with that intention! She wish to talk with you……with the personage who is a godslayer but also a fairy king, by all means. That is what the princess is saying.」

In a slight distance, there was a person that was present in this dialogue between two fairy kings. Actually this person was a unique woman. Her body was wearing was a twelve-layered ceremonial kimono――an outfit that was worn by noble daughter of ancient Japan, with her long hair having a splendid flaxen color. Her eyes were the color of transparent glass. 

Her amazing beauty was somewhat exotic, the engraving of her face was also deep. 

The woman had been silent all this time while listening to the exchange between Smith and Al Shaitan.

「This is our first time meeting, o Rakshasa raja.」 

The mysterious noble daughter made a faint smile and greeted gracefully. 

That bearing and sublimity obviously showed that she wasn’t someone ordinary. Anyone could easily guessed that she was an owner of status that was nearly fairy king class.

「I am called as the princess of glass! I’m also a relative that is extremely close with King Rama.」 

Smith murmured「Hou」after hearing the introduction that came from the intermediacy of a fairy king.

「What kind of business that kind of woman have with me?」

「Should I give my assistance to your honored person too, or not……I believe that in order to ascertain that too# I wish to receive the chance of talking with your majesty by any means.

」

「’Too’ you said# that means?」

「I, already give my support to a Rakshasa raja the same like your majesty――to Kusanagi Godou-sama.」

「That’s a nostalgic name! He is a man who is also my old friend.」 

Smith nodded toward the faintly smiling princess.「Naturally# that’s about the case of『King of the End』?」

「Correct. I have a belief. The one who should face the last battle against the crown prince……against Prince Rama# is ought to be Kusanagi-sama.」 

She was the reincarnation of the goddess who was the wife of the hero Rama. 

The meeting with the princess who was living a secluded life at Astral world while being a Divine Ancestor. The content of what they talked here became something that Smith recalled back several times. 

He recalled it back before the start of the devil king civil war too, and after the civil war started too――!
