## Dialogue

### Star Savior's Arrival (救星主の到着)

 ???: Heeere!! Aqua Aura!!
 Aqua Aura: !!!!
 Tinctura: Oh my... that looks severely painful...
The person who had just given Aqua Aura a very sharp punch was hugging her tightly the next moment.
???: Don't worry too much... If you do it again, I will give you more than just a fist.
Aqua Aura: Yes... I'm sorry, Turquoise.
This person is Turquoise. One of Aqua Aura's important family members, and is the leader of **Embryon**. I feel that I understood their current interaction very well.
Seraphinite: I... I'm b-back home, t-teacher Aventurine.
 Aventurine: Welcome back, Seraphinite. I see that you're not injured anywhere.
Aventurine: Your breathing is imbalanced. Are you so afraid of being scolded?
Seraphinite: Hyyii...
 Tourmaline: Master Aventurine. Please, hear me out. Seraphinite did not act on her own...
Aventurine: Don't be so desperate, Tourmaline. Wouldn't it be sad if the visitors I saw there would misunderstood me as a very unreasonable leader?
Aventurine: The person who has a strong and mysterious light, you, are you afraid of me?
Well, I'd say I'm scared.
Aventurine: You, you are very honest with yourself. I'm a little shocked though. Sigh...
Tinctura: So you are Aventurine. Is it possible that you can observe the flow of **starlight**?
Aventurine: The techniques I have learned as a healer involves identifying and correcting the flow of light from the stars. but...
Aventurine: Unfortunately, it is unlikely that I will be able to correct your broken flow because of my lack of skill. Please forgive me, Master Tinctura of the Regalia.
Tinctura: No need to worry. I don't want to force you. Thank you for the quick look, Aventurine.
Teacher Aventurine from **Elixseed**. Similarly, in this current exchange, I realized that she was no ordinary person. She was able to identify Tinctura's true nature instantly.
Aventurine: Oh. You actually bought into it. I merely received a report in advance, so I already knew beforehand.
Eh?
 Carnelian: Orally! From me! I have reported this on the dot!
 Zircon: Carnelian, you didn't... say anything extra did you?
Carnelian: ...
Zircon: Oh that's it! You're gonna...
 ???: Oopsy daisy... If you two want a duel, you'll have to do it later. Isn't this a shameful display from **Knights Carbuncle** to put up a commotion in front of our guests?
Zircon: Dame Black Opal?!
Carnelian: I told our seneschal all I know, and so on...
Black Opal: Ahahahaha, please excuse us.
Black Opal: So, you are the wandering **Star Savior** I've heard about? I'm Black Opal. I'm taking care of them.
I had the intuition that the kindly-sounding woman who talked to me, was probably the most powerful and radiant **jewelia** on the scene. It seems that her title of seneschal is not a leader still.
Tinctura: I'm feeling an air of hostility from you. Are you testing us?
Tinctura: Isn't it heartless of you if you still want to be rude to **Master**?
Black Opal: This doesn't feel like a threat, it's just a big fuss after all. What a bother... Right, Red Jasper?
 Red Jasper: Thaat's right, Opaopa. Nelineli is still determined, but this person is really the **Star Savior**. He's not our enemy by now~
Black Opal: However... Even if this is true, I'm still very bothered.
Aventurine: After all, it's the advent of the legendary **Star Savior**. Thank you, yes goodbye, but you're not welcome. Even though you surely have a lot of detailed stories...
Seraphinite: You're still doubting **Master**!?
Aqua Aura: That's terrible! If it weren't for master, everyone might have been killed by **Zolne** and turned into their seedbeds!!
Turquoise: Calm down, Aqua Aura. I know that. I can't thank them enough.
Turquoise: But apart from that, we have a responsibility to protect this town. For the sake of our roles as **jewel princesses**, it is impossible to involve the humans living together with us to be in danger. Am I right?
Aqua Aura: You mean...
Don't worry.
Turquoise: Thank you, **Master**. Putting that aside, you are a very kind person.
Black Opal: Well then, at least we should hear out what you have to say.
Tinctura: Then, I'll be the only representative. The **Star Savior**, who has just awakened, only knows information that I've given him personally. Isn't it a hassle if we're simply repeating the same thing?
Tinctura: I am also exhausted by the continuous use of force. So, I request that the Knights and the others would at least take responsibility and take care of him in case something happens to him, right?
Black Opal: Fine, though it's troublesome. Have the others be detained for now.
Carnelian: Wait, seneschal!?
Tourmaline: In that case, I will be responsible for keeping you all well at the clinic. I can treat you there, and you can rest in bed.
Zircon: I am his guardian! I also have responsibility!
Black Opal: I wonder why you all are willing to help. If you were a **Star Savior** who abandoned the **Regalia** and escaped, it wouldn't have mattered much... right?
Aventurine: Please follow me, Master Tinctura.
*\*Scene change\**
Zircon: I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable.
Tourmaline: We don't doubt that you are a real **Star Savior** who saved us directly, but from a different standpoint, there are some people who cannot convince themselves by the reports of others.
Zircon: No one is as stubborn as Carnelian, so I think if you have the time to explain to them properly, I'm sure they'll understand.
Aqua Aura: But, Tinctura's attitude is pretty pushy, right? Isn't it likely that she'll break them first before you do?
Seraphinite: Well... I believe so, Miss Aqua Aura.
Red Jasper: Yahoo~ Me here. Me has brought along our Master Regalia.
Tinctura: I am so angry that I'm pouting, but I'm here now.
Zircon: Wait, what?! It's already over!?
Red Jasper: The situation has changed a little. Everyone who can fight have all jumped out~
Zircon: What, you don't mean...
Red Jasper: Yes... it seems a **Zoldemic** outbreak has started near this region.
Tourmaline: No way!? There were no signs of...
Tourmaline was flailing around nervously. Even so, what is a **Zoldemic**? Seraphinite explained it to me.
Seraphinite: Zoldemic is a phenomenon in which a large amount of **Zolne** occurs in a very short time. If there is no prompt action taken, the entire area will be completely corrupted.
Seraphinite: Teacher Aventurine is accustomed to dealing with **Zoldemics**. If you leave it to her, it should be safe... but I want to say, I'm actually worried.
There are early symptoms to identify a **Zoldemic**, and by noticing them, **jewel princesses** was able to take the initiative. However, as Tourmaline pointed out, there were no warning signs this time.
Tourmaline: It would be nice if it's not too late...
As if to make her anxiety a reality. From the direction of the entrance to the town, a scream of help was heard.

### Star Savior's Delivery (救星主の出前)

 Tourmaline: That is why we can't leave this town...
Those who protect the town by defeating the **Zolne** are absolutely necessary. However, without knowing what's happening beforehand, it could lead to the point of no return.
I realized what I should do now.
 Tinctura: Then, let's see what we do. If the preceding ones are in a predicament, there is nothing but the power of the **Star Savior's** light to save them.
After affirming that, Tinctura gave me a mischievous smile. As she has said, it's about my time to shine.
Zircon: But then, Carnelian would accuse us again, as we're disobeying orders to put you under watch.
This is not the case!
Tourmaline: Certainly... that may the only best way.
Tourmaline: As a doctor, I will hold responsibility for allowing you guys to "escape". So, please save this town from [Zoldemic]. **Master**!
We nodded in earnest.

### Tinctura's Ambition (ティンクトゥラの野望)

Thanks to that, We could come to this place without being stopped by other knights. She also manages the battle with **Zolne** that we came across along the way, and she is showing work that seems to take tremendous effort.
 Red Jasper:　Different situations for different locations. If Opaopa or Nelineli were in a pinch, and I didn't help them, it would be too pitiful.
Red Jasper, with a grin, was an unmistakable knight.
Another thing that was unexpected. Is that Tinctura is taking the initiative.
It's true that **Zoldemic** is a case that can't be left alone, but despite receiving undesirable hostility from them, she's still kind enough to be a little worried about them and is willing to help.
 Tinctura: Of course, we're not returning back just because we helped them. We will be leaving the town immediately when this is over. We will go to the next destination after we've settled this crisis.
Aqua Aura: Wait, wouldn't that means we're just fleeing and running away!?
Seraphinite: That's not something Master will do, right!?
Tinctura: Disrespectful. It is merely a follow-up after fulfilling our required duty. I don’t have any problems.
But you're running out of accountability, that.
Tinctura: It's a waste of time to interact with hostile people that doesn't understand us. Besides, even if they do, they are all just middle management, and they must report to their upper management before they can permit our departure.
Uh... I feel like you should take a break.
Aqua Aura: But who said that? Turquoise isn't above allowing us to leave so she's out of the question, and I feel like Black Opal will just give us a pass because she hates hassles.
Tinctura: Black Opal seemed like she would. However, the problem is with her assistant.
*\*scene change*
 ???: Please work exactly like this... Um, Seneschal!?
*\*scene change*
Red Jasper: Yeah, that's not so easy. Working behind Opaopa's whatever-ness is thanks to our Marshal, Marshal Morganite. The operations of the Order is actually moving smoothly thanks to that person.
I wonder if there was talent behind the throne. It's easy to imagine that the freedom-loving, lenient Red Jasper, who properly calls by her real name, would be someone that shouldn't be angered at all costs.
Whatever it is, the first priority is to stop the **Zoldemic**. We'll decide the rest after that. Let's do this.

### Covert Support (こっそり援護)

The **jewel princesses**, with Black Opal and Turquoise as the lead, are leading the rest on a fierce engagement the **Zolne** , the intensity of the battle seems to overflow from the cave. It's in a state of war where nobody even notices our arrival.
 Aqua Aura: Looks like we're able to clear this mess...
 Seraphinite: Alright, Aqua Aura!
Tinctura: Even so, I can only output the bare minimum. While you sweep away and defeat the **Zolne**, **Star Savior** will cover you with his light. Once we have the window of opportunity, I'll unleash my **Regalia Burst**.
Tinctura: That's our strategy, what do you think?
Let's go with it.
Aqua Aura: Yes, master!

### Extra Company (ついてけたオマケ)

Tinctura shouted, holding on the **light** that I radiated. Regalia Burst - A radiance that embodies the **Wrath of the Star** eradicated all the **Zolne** that were flooding the **knights**.
Tinctura: Uuuooooooh!
 Black Opal: What the heck!? This tremendous forced swept me right off breathless!?
 Turquoise: The one who can cause such a miracle, I'm sure it's the legendary...
Turquoise: **Star Savior**? Whaaaaat???
 Aventurine: Please continue on to wherever you're running towards, we'll handle things here.
Black Opal: Ahahahaha! As expected of **Star Savior**. I'm so overwhelmed by what's going on that all I can do is laugh.
Black Opal: However, it is true that you have saved us all from the predicament - Knights of the Order! Be one and destroy the parent host at once and stop the **Zoldemic**!!
*\*metal clash noises\**
 Seraphinite: Ah, I've did it... I've did it... will teacher Aventurine still be mad at me this time!?
 Aqua Aura: Don't give up, Seraphinite.
Tinctura: Fufufu, now that's what I call a runaway.
 Red Jasper: So it was true all along, that force absolutely crushed me.
Tinctura: ...
Red Jasper: ...Hm?
Tinctura: Wha, why are you following us!?
Okaaay...
Tinctura: What a blunder...
Red Jasper: You don't have to be so depressed. Me has no intention of disturbing you all. Me is only following you for a while.
Seraphinite: Is that okay? Won't you get scolded later?
Red Jasper: Me is used to people getting angry at me, so me will just say sorry later♪
Red Jasper: And if me stick to you all like this, Opaopa wouldn't be after me, right?
Aqua Aura: Perhaps that's your intent from the very beginning...
Red Jasper: Hm, what about it? Maybe me just wanted a break?
Yeah, no use wasting more time arguing. With Red Jasper accompanying, we rush ahead. The destination we're running to is the **light spring**, which is just ahead.

### Meeting the Maid (メイドさんの遭遇)

**Starlight**, which is the vitality of all things, is delivered to the earth all over the world through a network called a **light vein**, which originates from the **Great Star Spirit** sleeping underneath the earth.
When such a **light vein** passes underground through a water source, the light of the stars is imbued with the pure water, and it converts into a mysterious spirit water full of vitality. What springs up on the ground will be called a **light spring**.
 Tinctura: Despite the name **light spring**, it also applies to any similar sources of water. There are alternative sources, from small ones like literal springs, to large ones that connect to the sea, and even hot springs.
 Seraphinite: Ooh, a hot spring... I would like to go to the hot spring someday.
These **light springs** have become an important source of supply for the **jewel princesses** to restore their exhausted starlight. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the remaining lifeline now that the light from the earth has faded due to the influence of **Zolne**.
Therefore, it is said that each light spring has a guardian to set them up as a sacred place and is kept protected. It seems that Tinctura was going to collect information from the guardians here. This was the initial reason why she feels there was no need to go to the town.
Tinctura: In the first place, starlight is our preferred sustenance, as we can act as long as we constantly obtain replenishment from the light of the stars. Lack of normal sustenance doesn't really affect us at all.
 Aqua Aura: That may be true, but food is also important! Even if I can work without problems I still feel hungry, and it doesn't feel good going hungry!
Seraphinite: Our studies have shown that eating lessens starlight depletion. Even if it is a short period, I cannot tolerate a long journey without food as a healer.
In other words, you all wouldn't die without eating food, but it's definitely better to eat. Even if there is no problems in terms of physical function, it is not good for your mental health. So it seems.
Tinctura: Mmmmmh... **Master** said too much. Don't tell them, but I did secretly went shopping myself.
Tinctura reluctantly admitted to me.
*\*scenery change\**
Speaking of which... the place where I first slept was a **light spring**, but if it's so precious, why is it okay to leave that place alone?
Seraphinite: The source you're sleeping on is rather special. The amount of **starlight** content in that source is extremely high, and it is a level where it's toxic for normal **jewel princesses** to consume.
That's a bit of a surprise. It reminded me that I am not normal.
Tinctura: That's not a downer story. The total amount of starlight that I possess in the first place is beyond readable levels. In the case of an ordinary **light spring**, the supply is unable to keep up with my smallest demands.
Moreover, that **light spring** was my cradle. It is a sanctuary specially prepared for the advent of the **Star Savior**. It means that not a single **Zolne** can even approach, let alone touch it.
Aqua Aura: However, it was attacked, those guys. They kept trying to disturb **Master's** awakening all the time.
Just as Aqua Aura said. **Zolne** have been persistently attacking me. The two were surprised to find me for the first time.
I suddenly realised... What if the **Zolne** are still aiming for me? So the cause of the **Zoldemic** that suddenly hit the town was...
 Red Jasper: Hm? Someone's running towards us desperately on the opposite end.
 ???: Uuuuh... hurry hurry hurry... I have to go back-!
Her costume is covered with cute, flickering white fluffs. Her teary eyes are bouncing off her big breasts. She is sliding around something that looks like a big mop across the ground for some reason.
Seraphinite: Maid... a maid is sprinting over here!
Aqua Aura: Why!?
Red Jasper: No matter how you look at it, it's because of the things that are chasing her from behind!
Zolne: Grawargh!
We must help the maid!
Red Jasper: Affirmative!

### Master S.O.S. (ご主人さまSOS)

 Seraphinite: Are you alright?
???: Yes, I was scared and ran away desperately. As you can see, it's safe now.
Citrine: Oh, my name is Citrine. As you can see, I'm a maid without any luck.
Immediately I knew that she was a maid and she was a jewel princess. However, I was in a state of confusion because the two words were not connected properly with just an equal sign.

 Aqua Aura: Just maybe, but she could be serving a **jewel princess** from a noble house. It's not uncommon for **jewel princesses** to hire each other in big cities.
Aqua Aura: Lapis Lazuli also said that it is also natural for mercenary jewel princesses to work as human subordinates.
When I heard the story of Aqua Aura, I realized that I was showing prejudice. Unknowingly, I assumed **jewel princesses** have been determined to be of higher rank than compared to human beings. But, it seems I was mistaken.
Human beings and **jewel princesses** coexist and respect each other. There is no species superiority or inferiority, and as long as both sides agreed, it would be natural for one to employ the other and vice versa.
While I was pondering about that, the maid, Citrine, began telling everyone why she was in a panic.
Oh, yes! I would like to ask if it's not inconvenient for you, but are you people under **Knights Carbuncle**?
 Red Jasper: Hmm, Me is not sure~?
 Tinctura: ...
Seraphinite: Not everyone, only Red Jasper is a knight.
Citrine: If that's the case, please help my master!
According to Citrine, she and her master have been traveling in a group of three people when they were asked by the third member to be their escort.
Citrine: However, just as we're about to reach our destination, the **Zolne** suddenly flooded in! The master ordered me to call for help!
Aqua Aura: So why didn't you escape together?
Citrine: What we were heading for was the **light spring**. It seems that there is something that **Zolne** are aiming for... My master is still fighting there because she has to stay and protect the **light spring**!
Tinctura: So that's it... This cannot be ignored.
We will help your master!
Citrine: E, eeh...?! But... is that okay?
Seraphinite: Our destination is also the **light spring**, it doesn't matter either way.
Aqua Aura: Let's hurry back and save your master!
Red Jasper: It's a pity, but if that's the case, I can't help right now. Me will return and request support from the **Knights** instead. You guys were the ones who have ran away from us, isn't that right?
Citrine: You're running away??
Tinctura: We'll explain later, let's hurry!

### Master and Barrier Guardian (ご主人さまと【結界守】)

 Seraphinite: I have to say, you're really special. Ordinary maids are not so active.
 Citrine: Yes, that's right. I had special training. We are thoroughly trained as maids, from morning to night, so that we can take care of our masters and also protect themselves.
Citrine: Top... My master is too strong, so the maid is useless.
 Tinctura: Then... You are a maid who bloomed from the **Garden**, right?
Citrine: How did you know... I'm scared.
Seraphinite: What do you mean, why does that name sound meaningful to you?
Tinctura: I'll explain later! Move your legs now!
 Aqua Aura: I saw it! Over there...Someone is stopping the swam of **Zolne**!
 ???: Sorya! Not enough! Here we go!!
*\*metal slashing and clashing\**
Does she even need help at all?
Citrine: No such thing! No matter how strong my master is, if they keep attacking via numbers, she will not be able to protect it... See!
Zolne: Gyuurgh!
 ???: ...uuuuuu~!
Seraphinite: That is... Isn't that **Barrier guardian** Moonstone?
Aqua Aura: She's been to senior Tourmaline's clinic before. I remember that she was prescribing lots of medicine so she wouldn't get sick during the long trip.
**Barrier guardian**... Does that mean that it is that person's job to stop the invasion of **Zolne** from entering that huge barrier?
Citrine: Please help her, everyone! Even if my master is good, Miss Moonstone will not be able to keep up as it is!
Seraphinite: Yes, got it!

### Hungry Moonstone (腹ぺこムーンストーン)

???: Zank you veery much, helpahs♪ I hope my maid didn't bother ya?
 Citrine: I took care of myself, please introduce yourself properly!
Topazos?: Oui ouui! My name eez Topas... Topazos. I am ze daughtah of ze ruthless nobleman, who becomeming a prodigal wanderah and neglected 'er house.
Citrine: Oh, I already told you to.... Why couldn't you address...
Citilyn's lament seems to be a fact, not a joke. It is true that various **jewel princesses** have their various quirks.
 Tinctura: Topazos, it is a quirky name, as if...
Topazos?: Dat eez right. Eet's a pseudonyme yaaah.
 Aqua Aura: Eh-?!
Topazos?: My real namee is too fameux, dat as soon as I say eet, peeple would flock aroun'. Eet's would cause embarassment, aaand my maid would zart cryin, soo I 'ave to pass weeth eh pseudonym. Eez affreuse.
Personally I don't think the pseudonym has any meaning when its obvious who she is, but we'll pretend that we don't know her real name, out of respect.
Tinctura: ...It's alright, I won't prod further on your identity.
Topazos?: Eeeeh? Since we got to know eeach othah, let us get along and be friends, oui ouui?
Aqua Aura: Hahaha... In a different sense from Black Opal, you have your own strong air of presence yourself.
Topazos?: Fufu~. Black Opal eesh le connaissance of mine, heh.
Aqua Aura: Ah, but surely not that deep of an acquaintance? However, what I'm trying to say is...
Tinctura: Shut up already, Aqua Aura! The more you speak, the more you're going to hit my nerves.
Aqua Aura: Wawawa! I'm sorry!?
Topazos?: No need to be so deefensive. Weren't ya ze ones who fought side by side together weeth me?
Tinctura: ...
Topazos?: Hey ey, Ceetreene. Help me clear ze misunderstanding~
Citrine: That's because master says only messy things. Reap what you sow. Master started this.
Topazos?: Tohoho. I had an interestin' 'ncounter, so I was ze hoping zat dis might be a mariage merveilleux.
As Tinctura have said, and I know she's an alert person. However, I seem to think that this Topazos is just weird and is curious to know more about us.
I do want to know about her now, so I can understand her. But I can't argue back as I was told that it was one of her tricks to make me think so.
Zolne: Gurrrooogo!
Topazos?: Oopsie, eet looks like zere are still survivahs. Nawt gud, but eez okay if we just leave er zere? I'm worried about Moonstone more.
Moonstone seems to be the name of the barrier guardian.
Citrine: She had been keeping that big barrier up all the time. I'm sure she's exhausted and sick. As a maid, I have to hurry back and take care of her!
Aqua Aura: This looks bad, you better hurry up!
Seraphinite: If you need a healer, can I accompany you?
Citrine: Don't worry. What shes need now isn't recovery, but rather... she wants food.
Seraphinite: Huh???
Shortly after Citrine's strange statement. The newly appearing **Zolne** attacked us.

### Protect the Light Spring (【光泉】を守り抜け)

 Aqua Aura: I can't see... Please, help me...
 Seraphinite: This is... I'm barely standing...
Topazos?: I'm reeally zorry, but I want to see ze power of ze **Star Savior** team.
 Tinctura: ...!?
Topazos?: Don't leave such a scary face. Eet's force majeure. Zere were rumors from ze town spread by ze **Chevaliers Escarboucle**, I heard it, so I wonder if ze will 'appen ageen.
Aqua Aura: Carnelian... Must be her...
Seraphinite: What troublesome...
Topazos?: Zat~ Eez ~ Whyyy~ Ya dun be so cautious? I just want to get along with ya guys? I want to cherish chance encountahs♪
Tinctura: So, will you... reveal your real name now?
Topazos?: Hmm... Ees eet okay if I reveal myself already? I dun know. Eet feels cool becoz it leeves mystère behind. Quelle peine~
Tinctura: Grrrr...
Zolne: Gaaarooooo!!
Topazos?: Apparently, looks like le parentes is in zis cave. Did eet ran out of numbahs and decide to directly destroy ze **light spring**? Aaw, eesn't eet a little bad zhat eets expected?
Tinctura: Where on earth is the **spring guardian** here!? She's not even picking this up! She is neglecting her duties!
Topazos?: Le gardienne of zis place, has eh strange body constitution. Ze **jewel princess** that can't attack without ze moonlit night... you zould know her.
Tinctura: So it's her? ...Well then, there's no choice. But we cannot afford to wait for her to wake up.
Topazos?: If zat eez case, then we have no choice but to stop eet ourselves. We'll have to work hard enough for les tribulations!!
Can you stand up, Seraphinite?
Seraphinite: Master's light... it will guide us.
Aqua Aura: We will always stand up for master, Always!!
Topazos?: Mhm. Au après, zats amazin'. Ze legendary **Star Savior**. I might want to believe it. From eh standpoint, I can't say eet openly, but...
???: **Star Savior**, I'm proud to fight alongside ya light.
Topaz: My name eez Topaz - **La Trinite** Topaz! Alright zen, allons-y♪

 Aqua Aura: Hahaha, it makes sense...... I mean your name already obviously spoilered...
 Tinctura: So why didn't you name yourself in the beginning?
 Topaz: Eef I did, zat would be booring♪
Tinctura: Huh?
Topaz: I feel, zat eh chance encounter ees romantique♪ I can even say zat I am traveling for zat purpose♪
Topaz: An unexpected encountah♪ Mysterious edge♪ Eh variety of zhings combined♪ Eh ridiculously interesting mariage is born! I wannah see zat moment♪
Topaz: **Trinity** - Zat's one of those connections. Eet happened zat I could meet like-minded friends with eet. It's said that I am eh **hero**, but zat's eet.
Tinctura: And for that reason, you are very proud of yourself?
Topaz: Itza pride for ze three of us. I will cherish eet, and when I can use eet, I use eet firmly.
Topaz: Zat's why you can use eet as well♪ When ze **Chevaliers Escarboucle** arrive, Ze Topaz can then funnel les doléances directly from ya to zem, and zey will change zere minds a lot♪
Ahahahaha...
Topaz: By ze way... I'm worried about leaving Citrine alone. I won't be back fer now♪
Topaz: La lune ees about to rise... Pass my regards to ze **Light Spring** guardian! It will be eh nostalgic reunion for ze **Regalia**. I will not disturb ya further, so... prends・ton・temps・cher.
Should we also leave you alone too? When I asked that, Tinctura shook her head. Rather, she pleaded us to stay with her.
She had spent a long amount of time on her deep sleep, it must be a heavy burden for her,as she must still had memories of this back then.
Eventually, the moon began to shine in the night sky. A beautiful **jewel princess** appeared in the reflection on the surface of the spring.
She described her as a character where no enemies can rival her under the moonlit night, but she cannot exert her power satisfactorily under the sun. She is an old friend of Tinctura.
Tinctura: It's been a long time... Aquamarine.
 Aqumarine: It's just like old times, Master Tinctura.
