When the rooftop turned back to normal, Ryouta felt relieved after seeing that.

“Thank you, Momoka-sama. Then, you are probably in a state of shock when we suddenly approach you and ask about joining us. Our deepest apologies for that.” Ryouta bowed his head. “But we still would like to ask you to join us for the sake of this world.”

“I still can't understand...”

“You probably not... for now,” he replied. “Let me introduce myself, then. I am Tho—”

“He is Ryouta. Ryouta Masato!” Shirayuki butted in to prevent Ryouta from telling his real identity.

“I mean, I am Ryouta Masato, god of moon, wisdom and scriptures, will serve you in protecting this world against those who will cause destruction. Momoka-sama, I would wish for you to take part in being one of Grimoires,” he introduced.

“I made him keep his real name but it's like blowing his cover when he said he's a god. Hayss...”

“What a funny introduction. Ryouta, huh?” Momoka commented with a laugh.

“He's really funny. I also felt that when he introduced himself to me,” Shirayuki agreed.

“Well, setting that aside, Momoka-sama, bearer of Queen Ella's will, what is your response?” Ryouta tried to change back the topic.

“Queen Ella... so that's real.” Momoka's knees gave in, much to Shirayuki's worry.

“Hey, are you okay?” She rushed towards her place and helped her sit properly.

“That memory was real, after all.” She seemed in deep pain while saying those.

“What's the problem?” Shirayuki asked but Momoka was starting to feel weak.

“She is probably still in a state of shock since she remembered those memories. As expected because of Queen Ella's last memories,” Ryouta explained.

“What is it, Ryouta? What happened?” Shirayuki wondered.

“Queen Ella has a creation magic, similar to the Godmother who helped her at the prince's ball. During the invasion, she tried to protect her people by creating a large magic barrier, draining her strength and preventing her to move from her position. Then, a single arrow shot through her by Rumpelstiltskin, cancelling the barrier. The next thing she saw was the rain of arrows directing her place and the evacuating people. Because of her so much kindness and love to her people, Queen Ella used the last strength she has to protect her people but failed to protect herself as hundreds of arrows fell into her,” Ryouta shared.

“When I saw those memories, I felt the pain too but it didn't bother me. Her sadness and emotional pain affected me more,” Momoka said to them as her voice weakened.

“It looked like the resonance between you and Queen Ella were strong. Given that you can feel the presence of other people like you,” he deduced.

“Wait, Ryouta. Something is wrong. She didn't take any damage from me but she looked like losing her consciousness,” Shirayuki said making him approach them.

“What time is it?” he asked and Shirayuki immediately looked at her phone.

“Almost 12:30 in the afternoon.”

“I forgot. She probably lost a great amount of energy from fighting you. I will explain everything later. Let's bring her to the school clinic first to let her take some rest.” Ryouta carried her and Shirayuki followed them.

They were inside the school clinic and the school nurse left them to stay for Momoka. Shirayuki felt worried about her state as she was holding her hand.

“Ryouta, what do you mean earlier? About losing energy?” she asked.

“It's about her weakness. Maybe, it was too early but let me tell you that each one of you has a weakness you need to watch out for. For now, focus on your training and making Momoka-sama understand our situation.”

“Okay. I also remember that Sakurada-san is the daughter of an influential family in this city,” she mentioned. “Sakurada family, huh? The owner of one of the export and trading companies in the country. Also, they owned different art buildings and foundations,” she explained.

Then, Momoka started to regain consciousness so Shirayuki stood and asked for her state. She finally woke up and got confused about what happened.

“Sakurada-san, you feel okay now? You fainted earlier because you used much of your power,” Shirayuki reminded her.

“Ah, that is the case.” She tried to sit down so Shirayuki helped her. “Actually, I'm still feeling dizzy but I know you want to tell me what is going on.”

Shirayuki signed Ryouta to tell her everything. He just sighed and turned to Momoka and started talking about what was going on.

Ryouta started to tell about her memories, the history of Fairyland to be exact. Then, he explained about the situation of this world and their power that was needed to defend this world.

“I see. So that's what happened. By the way, Arima-san, why did you decide to accept that responsibility? ” Momoka wondered.

“I couldn't tell her that I felt guilty when I dream of that memory.”

“Tell her, Shirayuki-chan, so you can help her to decide,” Ryouta insisted.

“Ahh! This stupid god.  How can I be so direct when she looks so pure? My heart won't be able to take it.”

“Well, I'm really doubting if it's the will that will control me to accept my fate or it's my own will to accept my fate,” she shared with them.

“Sakurada-san, you don't need to think hard about it.” Shirayuki smiled at her. “Her will or your will. That's not the choices you need to choose. Are you doing it for yourself or are you doing it for your loved ones. Listen to your heart. No one can dictate it except you, even the strong will of others.” Momoka got enlightened by her words.

“What a word from someone who just felt guilty,” Ryouta whispered.

“Shut up, Ryouta!”

Momoka laughed which confused Shirayuki but she just laughed together with her.

“It looks like it is fun to be with the two of you,” she commented which amazed Shirayuki again when she saw her bright smile.

“Let me call you Momoka-nee-san,” she asked.

“Huh? Why? It sounds embarrassing.”

“Then, how about Momoka-sama.”

“No. Still embarrassing.”

“Then, Momoka-san?”

“Too formal when we're just the same in age.”

“Then, Momo-chan.” Momoka blushed hearing those. “Oho, you can call me with my first name.”

“Then... Shira... Shirayuki... Shirayuki-chan.”

She felt a bang in her chest.

“So cute,” she praised.
