[Eon's POV: ]

-Chirp, chirpy, chirp.

-Koo-hooo~!

-Buzzzzzz-zzzzzzu.

-Buzzz! Buzzz!

[< "Yes yes mister bee. But we aren't trying to steal your house. We got permission from the lord tree so it is fine, right?" >]

-Buzzzzzzzzz!

[< "Yes I understand but we will leave in a bit anyway so just for a little bit? Please?" >]

-Buzzz!

[< "No, no. There is no need to hinder the queen. We will probably have a chance to greet her in the future anyway. As for now, this should be a good gift for her, right?" >]

I took out a special blue flower from my storage space and handed it to the big honeybee that hovered before the two of us.

It was morning and the sun was already halfway up on the horizon. 

The birds were chirping, clouds were being driven with the winds through the high sky, the area was filled with nature's natural energies, and as the two of us sat on this high branch of the ancient tree, the bees were getting disturbed by our presence.

This area was part of their house and even though we were guests of their patron, we were hindering their work, and they couldn't accept it.

This was their house and we were specifically blocking their path that leads to the flower area of the tree where they collect their lifeline-like nectar.

We were on a pretty lower branch of the ancient tree but just like the ancient willow I met in the past, this ancient tree also housed innumerable creatures, colonies, and families of some pretty rare creatures.

'And these blue honeybees are one of those rare creatures.'

Thirty centimeters to a meter in height, and with a bit longer wingspan with their silver wings, the bees were intelligent creatures unlike the normal honeybees and they were special too, so not just anything was enough to please them.

-Buzzzzzzzzz…!

[< "The guests of the great tree wouldn't be just some normal beings, right? And this is a sincere gift to the queen from us. We would love to hear if the queen likes it before we depart from here." >]

-Buzzz-zzz! 

-BUZZZZZZ!

And as soon as I said that in their unique tongue, the bigger soldier leading the group of ten workers hurriedly took the crystal blue flower from my hand and ran away upwards to their home.

It was a rare flower and something their kind was innately attracted to: Felix Azure. I know the queen would love it so we were alright for now.

And this strange fiancée of mine was still sleeping after all that commotion so I didn't want to wake her up and move from there.

[[ *She looks happy though.* ]]

'She is happy. In fact, she is probably dreaming some wrong things about how the past night could have been, or how things would go after we get our own place after today.'

[[ *Haha. She is quite something, master.* ]]

'She is Rein after all. The dumb fun Rein.'

"Mmmm…"

And after a while, with new rays of sun gracing us, her eyelids shook and she slowly opened her eyes while looking up at me with her beautiful eyes and with an immediate smile on her pretty face.

Haaa, she was hot...

'The sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and still, most of the audience is always asleep. And here is a moon, weakening up with those gentle rays of the raising sun, smiling just as beautifully as the solis, not for the asleep audience but for me. For only me…'

"Morning darling." She lifted her head from my lap, came closer, and kissed me gently like the sunlight greeting a tender flower petal.

"Morning to you too." I greeted her back the same way, probably a bit more roughly than her.

"Haha, oyy? Hahaha, Eon!" 

"We don't have any Eon here, miss."

"What-Kay! Hahaha, Hey, cut it!"

-Buzzzz…

"Alright."

So I let her go and she stood up and looked at the new being she was seeing for the first time.

-Buzzz.

This new being wasn't looking at her for the first time though, so it landed on the branch and bowed down at her, unlike our previous greeting.

"He came back earlier than I expected. Rein this-"

"Cute."

"What…?"

"Cute!!!"

She ran forward, picked the big bee that was as big as some big stuffed doll, and hugged it while avoiding its sharp claws and that metallic sting at its end.

From any general point of view, this creature would most certainly seem weirdly intimidating and dangerous with those big eyes, that vivid color, and those sharp claw-like feet. But as always, this creature was cute for this lady of mine.

-Buzzzzzz…!

But the bee didn't like her embrace and tried pushing her back, however, Rein continued her warm embrace and even kissed the bee on his metallic face.

'Just as I thought.'

There was a blush on the blue face of the honeybee and even the new smaller bee that came after that big one couldn't escape from her embrace.

So she now stood there with two big bees in her hand, all happy and cheerful this early in the morning, with a delighted smile on her face.

Seeing her like that was even more delightful for me so I didn't disturb her and the bees also just stayed with her, having fun probably similar to how they have while being around their queen.

'Her naturally high natural energy and affinity make her similar to those colony leaders and it's some of the most attractive things about her.'

She was practically holding a (Yellow) and an (Orange) ranked creature right now. And in normal circumstances, these bees would have already tried their best to kill the one that hindered them but with her, they were as calm as perfectly tamed beasts.

It looked nice and though it seemed like she would just hug them for the entire day, she let them go pretty soon.

-Buzzzzzz…

And as soon as she left them, the bees had a sad expression that clearly said they wanted more.

"No little cuties. We have to go now you see. Our inauguration ceremony will start soon." She patted their big heads and gave them a little forehead kiss as she walked back to me and gave me one too.

"Can I take that little one?" She asked with genuine eyes that screamed she wanted the little bee that was a unique blue shade from the big one but, even before I answered her, the solder bee came back to its senses and sternly shook his head.

"You can't have her dear. That one is a Kayria." I petted her head and nodded at the solder bee with a smile.

"What's that?" She asked and looked at the little honey bee with a light blue body, white stripes, and big black eyes that surely looked somewhat chibi and cute.

"She is one of the rare ones that serve the queen directly. You can think of her as the queen's favorite. Only a few are born every decade in a [Cerulean apis] colony."

I patted her shoulder and the little honeybee buzzed, hovered around her as if telling her to not be sad, and then from its somewhat pouch-like space, it took out a bottle that seemed like made of glass but definitely was a product of natural skill, and handed it to her.

-Buzzz! Buzzzzzzzzz~!

[< "Oh? The queen was happy with the gift? She said she would also love to meet us when the time comes? 

We are truly honored and would surely visit when the time comes but until then, we would be grateful if she allows us to stay here on occasion." >]

-Buzzzzzz~! 

[< "Really? She said that? It is flattering but I will humbly accept that. Oh right. Please tell her that we are honored to receive such a precious gift… actually, just a thank you wouldn't suffice.

Please give her this too." >]

I took out a small wooden box from my storage space and handed it to the little bee.

And as the bee held it with her big claw-like hands, the confused look on her face made Rein even more excited than before.

-Buzzzzzz?

[< "Well, the queen will know when she sees it. Please tell her we apologize we couldn't visit her now, and also that we probably won't be able to do so for a few days but please try to reassure her that we will undoubtedly come to see her." >]

-Buzzzzzz~! Buzzz!

[< "Yes. I can tell she is a great person." >]

-Buzzz~.

I gave her a small respectful bow and Rein did the same. And then the soldier bee bowed towards both of us as both of them slowly flew away and I grabbed her hand.

"Let's go." I smiled at her and she looked at me with a distinct frown on her face as she used her shadow travel skill and we reappeared on the ground.

"You devilish bastard. What do you want with those cute bees?" She was asking that with a serious look in her eyes but I just laughed at my adorable fiancée who knew me too well at this point.

"Well, something important I would say?" My answer was obviously vague but she got the answer she asked the question for.

"You fucking bastard. I will cut your limbs if you hurt these bees." 

The look in her eyes was genuine and I had no doubt she was strong enough to do what she had said just now. And she was mentally strong too so it could have been a very possible outcome if I ever had any thoughts of hurting those useful creatures.

"You silly. Why would I do that?" I smiled and she carefully looked at me as if trying to scan and find out if I was telling the truth or not.

As a matter of fact though, I would do my best to protect them. They were just that much useful creatures.

There was no need to hurt them, but it was very important to have a good relationship with them and their queen. It would help us in many of our future tasks and even during our time in the academy.

"Ok…" she nodded when she saw nothing wrong with me, my face, my behavior, my soul, the micro-movements of my heart and muscles, and the flow of Mana around me. She was at the very least sure that I didn't mean those 'adorable' bees any harm.

"Hmmm. So? What will I get from this?" She asked while maintaining her serious face and I answered casually.

It was a very expected question from my lovely fiancée after all.

"You, my dear, will get your own Kayria. Possibly a younger one than we just saw."

My answer was full of confidence so her eyes immediately became big like an excited cat and she shouted, "Are they cuter?!".

That was just the question I thought she would shout and my answer to that was also something I had prepared with great caution.

"Yup. Big claws, a body that might look like it is furry but actually is sharper than fine katanas, and with eyes bigger than their older forms, they are some of the creepiest creatures so, yes. They are the epitome of cuteness from your dictionary."

"Yesssss~! I will happily allow your devious plan then~!"

She hugged me and out of nowhere, a waterfall fell on us?

-Shwaaaaaa…

And it was cold water.

"What the fuck?"

That was strangely unexpected but the one who did that was hiding just before us.

"Hello? At least come here and apologize."

I looked to the other side and after glaring at that place for a while, a certain girl, a certain girl that had gotten famous since yesterday, the captain of Carla's house, turned off her hiding skill and came out with an embarrassed expression.

There was a strange-looking book in her hand that attracted my attention but before that…

"Me, I, no common language."

"Talk in any language you are comfortable with, girl. And have some confidence. How are you going to lead those bunch of people with that attitude."

"I-I! I apologize!" 

"Wow. Now that is unexpected." It really was more unexpected than the grimoire that she was holding.

'Actually… what the heck!?'

"I didn't know the Xivinikini tribe still existed?!"

This was quite a surprise for me. Rein didn't understand my surprise but it was really a big deal.

We were talking about one of the oldest human tribes here and their native language that this girl had just spoken that easily so this was really surprising for me who was still uncertain about the [Genesis]. 

'Maybe she…'

I wasn't sure and I was hoping what I was thinking was true but hope was sometimes a bitch so I hurriedly calmed myself, took a small breath, and looked at the girl that was now looking at us with a surprised expression and wide eyes.

This was probably going to be difficult but I had to give it a shot. I had to, because this new thing… it was something I wanted to know with all my heart.
