Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Entry in Spirit Queen palace

Scene: Inside the palace of Fairy Land, where Precious, Fin, Pluto (Fairy King), and his trusted aides are present.

Precious: I came here to merge your kingdom with my city and create a grand kingdom together.

Pluto: Secret Sky, huh? Yes, I've heard of that city.

Hino: Lord Pluto, that's the same city located in the Moonhunt Jungle.

Precious: Greenland Jungle.

Hino: Yes yes, that's the one — Greenland Jungle.

(Note: Hino is the leader of Fairy Land's army.)

Pluto: Yes, I've heard. It's said to be a fine city with many powerful beings living there.

But... this feels strange. Why would they send a child for such an important task?

What kind of foolish king would do that?

Precious: First of all, don't call me a kid. My name is Precious.

Second, let's do a test — if I pass, you'll merge your kingdom with Secret Sky. If I lose, Secret Sky becomes yours.

Pluto: And if you lose?

Precious: Then Secret Sky is yours, fair deal?

Pluto: This proposal should've come from your king, not a child. But fine.

Let's see if you're even ready to fight.

Precious: Absolutely.

Pluto: Here's one of my personal guards — Gokon. He's the weakest among them. Defeat him.

Precious: I'd rather fight your strongest.

Hino: Gokon, he's mocking you!

Gokon: I know! Lord Pluto, shall I finish him off now?

Pluto: Hold on — are you implying you want to fight me?

Precious: Yep. Either you or all your personal guards at once.

Pluto: Isn't that a bit much? Fine, but don't complain later.

Scene: Pluto returns to his throne and gestures to his five personal guards.

Pluto: These are my strongest allies. I call them my Five Fingers. Can you defeat them, little boy?

You are quite cute, so don't worry — I won't let them kill you.

Scene: The Five Fingers wear matching dark blue outfits with white flower patterns. Their names are:

Hino, Gokon, Sakhi, Merta, Tutana.

Scene: The fight begins. It's a close-combat fight — punches and kicks fly.

Scene: As soon as the fight begins, before anyone can react, Precious knocks them all down instantly.

None of them can even stand up again. He wins with ease.

Scene: Fin, Pluto, and everyone else present are shocked.

Fin: What just happened, Precious!?

Precious: They lost… too weak for me.

I thought they'd last at least 5 seconds. But nope — they didn't even put up a fight.

Pluto: What kind of power is this? How can such a being even exist?

A child from Secret Sky is this powerful!?

Precious: Oh no, no…

Pluto: T-then… who are you really?

Precious: I am the Lord of Secret Sky. I created that city.

Everyone believes a Goblin King rules Secret Sky — and I let them believe that.

But the truth is: I brought each and every member of that city there myself.

Fin: !!! W-W-Wait a minute…

So I wasn't talking to a king… but a Lord!? I made a Lord my friend!?

Precious: Didn't I tell you earlier, Fin?

Oh right… I forgot.

Pluto: Hmm… so that's the truth. The Lord of Secret Sky came to personally offer me this proposal.

Precious: Hmm. So what have you decided, Pluto?

Pluto: Just one question. Precious, do you have any parents?

Precious: No. Why?

Pluto: I'll agree to your proposal if… you accept me as your father.

Precious: Okay, no problem.

Fin: So quick to agree!?

Precious: What's the big deal?

Pluto: Very well. Then this kingdom is ready to join Secret Sky.

Let's head toward Secret Sky now.

Precious: Uhh… you are already in Secret Sky.

Scene: Everyone is confused and slightly shocked by what Precious just said.

Scene: A soldier arrives and says:

Soldier: Lord Pluto! Something strange just happened to our kingdom.

We've been transported to another place!

Precious: Told you.

Anyway, I have to meet the Spirit Queen next — Fin, are you coming?

Fin: Of course. Though I wanted to explore this place a bit more… but oh well.

Scene: Precious and Fin leave while everyone remains in confusion and shock.

Scene: Precious is flying through the sky, Fin sitting on his shoulder.

Fin: You can fly too? That's interesting.

Precious: I could've teleported us, but I wasn't sure if it would work safely with you.

Kail: Something feels off…

Precious: What is it, Kail?

Kail: I don't know… there's a strange disturbance in the air.

Precious: Everything seems fine to me.

Fin: Wait, Precious.

Scene: Precious stops and asks:

Precious: What is it, Fin?

Fin: I'm sorry… but I have to go.

Precious: Where?

Fin: Someone is summoning me… from another world.

Precious: What!?

Kail: A summon — meaning someone is using magical power to call forth a fairy.

And this time, the fairy being summoned… is Fin.

Precious: Can't you refuse?

Fin: They haven't summoned me yet. But I can feel it coming.

High-level fairies, spirits, and top demons often sense summoning before it happens.

Precious: I see…

Fin: I'm sorry, Precious. Maybe our journey ends here…

Precious: Fin… no matter where you go, we'll always be friends.

If you ever need my help, just think of me. I might be late — but I'll come.

Fin: Hmm… Bye, Precious. T_T

Scene: Fin vanishes from his shoulder.

Precious: She's gone.

Kail, later… give me more info on that summon.

Kail: Hmm… okay.

Precious: I'm alone now, so no point flying. I'll just teleport directly.

Scene 2: Precious teleports and appears in front of a large, ancient tree.

Precious: Where am I?

Kail: That big tree — it's the Spirit Tree.

It's the gateway to the Spirit Kingdom.

Precious: Amazing. But I won't make something like this in my kingdom.

It would be troublesome for people to enter.

Kail: I agree.

Scene: Precious enters the tree and vanishes.

Scene 2: He appears in a completely different place — an open area with a small, beautiful village.

Scene 3: Spirit Kingdom guards surround him.

Guard 1: Who are you? What are you doing here?

Guard 2: Captain Fijin, I think he's a spy here to report to the humans.

Guard 3: Let's confirm first. Kid — what's your name?

Precious: My name is Precious. I came to meet your Queen.

Fijin: Why do you want to meet our Queen?

Precious: Have you heard of Secret Sky City?

Fijin: No.

Guard 2: Captain, it's a newly built city. It has powerful beings — dragons and shapeshifters.

The king is supposedly a goblin named Rental.

Fijin: Ohh…

Precious: That's right. And now… how about introducing yourselves?

Fijin: I'm Fijin, captain of the team guarding this entry.

With me are two guards — we make up the full entry team.

Guard 2: My name is Taju, entry guard.

Guard 3: I'm Birju, entry guard.

Precious: So… can I go now?

Fijin: Since you want to meet the Queen, we'll take you — but as a prisoner.

Precious: Huh…

Kail: Precious, it's okay. If you can meet her without a fight, just go with it.

Precious: Alright then. But treating a kid like this isn't right.

I'm from Secret Sky City.

Birju: We don't care where you're from. Just walk quietly.

Scene: Birju takes Precious toward the Spirit Queen.

Fijin and Taju stay behind to guard the entry.

Scene: Inside the palace, Precious is brought in front of the Spirit Queen, sitting on her throne.

Two secretaries stand behind her, and two guards stand below the throne.

Scene: Precious is brought in with his hands tied.

Scene: The Spirit Queen notices him, quickly stands up, rushes over, unties his hands, and says:

Spirit Queen (Shanti): Who tied up such an adorable child!?

Who's the monster that did this? Tell me, I'll punish them!

Birju: Forgive me, Queen. I thought he was a spy.

I didn't know you knew him!

Shanti: I don't know him. But he's so cute, I just couldn't help myself!

How could anyone treat him like that!?

Precious: No, I came here with a purpose.

Shanti: What purpose? Tell me — I'm Shanti, Queen of this land.

Precious: I came from Secret Sky City.

I'm here to propose a merger — to unite your kingdom with Secret Sky.

Shanti: So the city sent a child to do this? Well, my answer is no.

Precious: But why? It would benefit both of us.

Shanti: Because we don't trust outsiders.
