Gisha (thinking): He's done for...
Rental (thinking): He has no idea who he messed with.
Priya (thinking): There's no saving people like him.
Sewa (thinking): Lord Precious, grant him a quick death.
Pluto (thinking): Of all things… this was the one thing he shouldn't have done!
Shanti (thinking): No one can save him now.
Grass (thinking): He doesn't even realize what he just did...
Scene: The room is silent. Backtion, Dinsh, and the other humans are confused — why isn't anyone reacting?
Dinsh: So? Have you all given up?
Backtion: Why are you just standing there, King Pluto?! That's your son!
Queen Shanti, he's in danger!
King Rental — if this continues, not just your kingdom, mine will be doomed too!
DO SOMETHING!
Dinsh: No one can do anything, King Backtion.
They've all accepted it.
Besides, these monsters aren't even worthy of a city like this.
Precious: This knife… is bothering me.
Scene: Precious grabs the knife with two fingers, then tosses it toward the wall.
The wall breaks, and the knife shatters.
Precious: That's not how you behave when you're a guest, is it, Mom?
Shanti: That's right, Precious. This is very bad behavior.
Precious: There must be punishment for this.
Dinsh: What is this kid babbling about?
He thinks he can defeat me—?
Scene: Precious punches Dinsh in the stomach.
Dinsh flies across the room and crashes into a wall.
Dinsh: W-w-what was THAT!?
Backtion: Such strength…!
Precious: For this mistake, you'll lose your life today.
Dinsh: H-ha… If I die, then… the Shin Kingdom will attack this place...
Because there won't be any king left… h-hehe…
Precious: You don't need to worry about that.
Honestly, the fact you even survived one of my punches is impressive.
Now… say goodbye to that body of yours.
Scene: Precious lands another punch, right on Dinsh's face.
Dinsh dies instantly.
Precious: I told you one punch would be enough.
A weak human like you surviving two punches from me — that's the real surprise.
Scene: All the humans are shocked, speechless at what just happened.
K. Kizu: Lord Dinsh is… dead!?
Shal (thinking): This is impossible!
That child killed Lord Dinsh!
But wasn't Lord Dinsh the one who killed that boy long ago!?
Are they… both the same person?
No, that can't be. That boy was in a village far from here.
And this child is the son of the Spirit Queen and Fairy King.
That one was human…
No! It doesn't make sense!
Did I… kill the wrong child?
Or did I miss something?
What is happening!?
Shal: WHO ARE YOU?! Who is this boy REALLY?! Tell me!
Gisha: This is our Lord Precious.
The one who created Greenland, the one who built Secret Sky.
We're all here because Lord Precious brought us.
Shanti: Lord Precious is the true creator, the true ruler, the true LORD of this land!
Scene: All humans — SHOCKED.
R. Kizu: So this child… isn't really your son?
Pluto: No. We are just parents in name only.
We wanted to become his parents.
Backtion: Then where… did this child come from?
Priya: We can't tell you that.
Grass: And we won't.
Rental: Alright, everyone calm down.
Precious: Wait. The work isn't over yet, Rental.
Rental: Yes, Lord Precious?
Gisha: What's left, Lord Precious? Shall we resume the meeting?
Scene: Precious stands beside Dinsh's corpse, staring at it.
Scene: He raises his hand — a white light rises from Dinsh's body.
A magic circle appears and vanishes along with the light.
Precious: Now it's done.
Let's continue.
Scene: Everyone is shocked.
Scene: Dinsh comes back to life, but not as a king — as a servant.
Precious: From now on, he is Priya's servant.
Priya: But why?
Precious: If you don't want a gift, I'll take it back.
Priya: A gift from Lord Precious? Then I accept it.
Precious: His new name is Dodo.
Dodo: Hmm…
Gisha: So let's continue the meeting.
Scene: Everyone returns to their seats.
This time, Precious sits where Rental was earlier, with Gisha standing behind him.
Rental takes Dinsh's old seat.
Precious: So Rental already explained the army plan.
Do you have any objections?
Backtion: As I said before, I have no issues.
Precious: Then let's end the meeting here.
R. Kizu: Wait! Lord Precious!
Precious: Yes? Speak.
R. Kizu: I agree King Dinsh betrayed us.
But you can't just leave the Shin Kingdom without a ruler.
Without a king, things will spiral out of control.
You need to do something.
Precious: Hmm… I did say I'd take care of it, didn't I?
But now that I think about it…
I only have monsters around me.
Humans might not accept them as rulers...
Gisha: Lord Precious, a few days ago a hero group came here.
Precious: Hero?
Priya: They're not real heroes — only heroes in name.
Gisha: Yes, but they could be useful.
Precious: Explain properly.
Gisha: When you went to the Spirit Kingdom and Fairy Land,
a group of humans escaped the jungle monsters and made it here.
They're still here.
Their leader's name is Yuki — she's strong and capable.
We can make her the new King of the Shin Kingdom.
Precious: I don't have a problem. Do you, R. Kizu?
R. Kizu: None at all, Lord Precious.
Precious: Then the meeting officially ends here.
Scene: Everyone leaves the meeting room.
Only Precious, Gisha, Priya, Shanti, and Pluto remain.
Gisha: Lord Precious — what was all that!?
Precious: What do you mean?
Priya: Weren't you not going to attend the meeting?
Precious: Yeah… but I got bored, so I came.
And good thing I did, right?
Shanti: But… what about your identity!?
You've been revealed!
Precious: So what?
Pluto: If you were going to come, you should've told us.
We'd have prepared properly!
Precious: Okay, okay… sorry!
By the way — Yuki must never learn anything about me.
Or anyone else — not even Rental or my "Mom and Dad."
Let everyone know — this must remain a secret.
Gisha: Yes, Lord Precious.
Precious: One last thing — I'm leaving tomorrow.
Going back to Bees Village.
Shanti: But why?
Precious: Because now there are enough people here to handle everything.
Gisha: Even so…
Priya: Then… when will you return?
Precious (thinking): Even I don't know that…
Pluto: Tell us! When will you come back!?
Precious: Ten years from today!!
Haah… hooh… ugh, I said it out loud.
Oh well. I'll figure it out later...
Scene: Okay…
Precious: Respect!
