The spatial tunnel opened in the garden outside the Demon Lord's Castle, and a small sprite with fluttering transparent wings flew out of it.
"Hmm, this is the Great Jura Forest?"
As soon as Ramiris came out, she perceived her surroundings through magicules sensing.
The lingering magicules of Veldora in the air undoubtedly confirmed that her judgment was correct.
However,
"So, so many powerful magicules."
"How did this place become like this?"
As Ramiris's perception became more detailed, that terrifying aura almost turned the world depicted by her magicules senses into an incredibly vivid abstract painting.
"Huh?"
At the same time, Treyni, who had originally been playing a board game with Milim and the other two, immediately noticed Ramiris's aura.
The same went for Doris and Trya.
The three fairies, who had evolved from Dryads, instantly traced Ramiris's magicules in reverse.
"It's Lady Ramiris's aura!"
Ramiris was the Queen of all fairies and their mother.
When Treyni, Doris, and Trya were young, they had been raised by Ramiris before she lost her power and memories.
Even now, Treyni had not forgotten Ramiris's answer when she asked how she had been born.
She grew out of a potato.
Although it had just been a joke, Treyni took it seriously.
The nickname Potato Spirit and the meme about Potato Spirit loving potato chips came from this.
"Swish!"
With a slight thought, in the next moment, three sprout-like figures had already appeared around Ramiris.
"Whoa ah ah!!"
The three girls who suddenly appeared startled Ramiris, almost causing her to react defensively.
"It really is Lady Ramiris!"
Upon seeing Ramiris, Treyni felt an immense sense of familiarity.
Although she had now sworn allegiance to Rin, and her body and soul belonged to Rin.
However, this did not affect Treyni's respect for Ramiris.
After all, pledging allegiance to a monarch and showing filial piety to one's parents are two different concepts.
"Long time no see, Lady Ramiris."
"Welcome to the Monster Nation."
"I wonder if you have been well recently?"
The three girls greeted Ramiris one after another, making Ramiris feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.
To be honest, Ramiris was not actually very clear about Treyni's situation.
"Ah, I remember!"
Suddenly, Ramiris remembered the origin of Treyni and the others. "You are those Dryads from back then, right? Oh~ Looking at you now, it seems you're doing very well, which puts me at ease."
Ramiris put on an adult-like air, crossed her arms, and nodded repeatedly in an old-fashioned manner, seemingly very satisfied that the three girls had made a name for themselves in the Monster Nation.
"This is all thanks to Rin-sama."
"Yes, it's all thanks to that great one."
"But if Lady Ramiris has come, are you also joining the Monster Nation?"
"Huh?"
Ramiris was stunned. She really had come here to join.
But hearing it said by three juniors made her feel a little strange, as if she were losing face.
"Hahahaha..."
Seeing Ramiris's embarrassed expression, Guy laughed as he stepped out of the spatial tunnel.
"You, you must be Treyni, right?"
Guy greeted Treyni. She was also a high-ranking official in the Monster Nation, and he had seen her in the soul space of the Demon Lords' Council.
As for Trya and Doris, it was not Guy being arrogant, he simply truly did not recognize them.
"Yes, Lord Guy."
Treyni politely said, "Thank you for finding Lady Ramiris. We are endlessly grateful."
"Thank you for your help."
Trya and Doris also bowed to Guy.
"Hmph hmph~"
Ramiris thought, "How about it, aren't my children excellent?"
The performance of the three girls, as well as their current strength, made Ramiris feel proud.
Especially Treyni. Her magicules exceeded 3 million, and in terms of combat power alone, she was much stronger than Ramiris herself.
In a way, Treyni had already surpassed Ramiris.
Of course, Treyni still respected her Queen from the bottom of her heart, and even suggested acting as Ramiris's guide to take her to see Rin.
"Well, about that..."
Guy did not refuse, but looked at Ramiris. "What do you think?"
"No problem!"
Ramiris trusted Guy, and she also trusted her children. Elves and fairies are inherently pure-hearted beings.
Even if the latter were somewhat corrupted, it was only a transformation from pure spiritual lifeforms into semi-spiritual, semi-material lifeforms.
But in terms of thoughts and desires, there was no change at all.
Only the descendants later bred from fairies, such as the Earth Dwarf Race, Wind Elf Race, Fire Oni Race, and Water Sea Race, would transform into humans.
But even so, the aforementioned races still did not fall the way humans did, retaining, to varying degrees, the pure factors within their fairy bloodline.
"Hmm, I'll leave it to you all."
No sooner had Guy finished speaking than three more figures appeared nearby.
The newcomers were Rimuru and the others.
"Treyni, why did you suddenly run off?"
Rimuru said speechlessly, "Without you as the host, how can the tabletop role-playing game continue?"
"Ah, my apologies, my apologies."
Treyni put her hands together and playfully stuck out her tongue. "Because I sensed Lady Ramiris's aura, I really couldn't help myself, so..."
"Ramiris?!"
Milim also noticed Ramiris's presence at this moment and immediately darted over. "It really is you! Long time no see!"
"It's Milim..."
Ramiris, who had been somewhat suspicious, now that she saw Milim was also present, no longer had any worries in her heart.
As everyone knows, in this world, the only being who could make Milim so well-behaved, besides that legendary one, seemed to be no one else.
Even Star King Dragon from back then, having abandoned Milim early on, probably would not be able to gain that girl's acknowledgment.
"What, so it's you."
Veldora, however, was not very excited. His relationship with Ramiris could only be described as quite ordinary.
There was no helping it. The current Veldora was not yet the Veldora who would later read manga with Ramiris.
"V-Veldora?!!"
When Ramiris saw Veldora, she was so frightened that she immediately hid in Milim's hair. "You brute, sneaking up without a sound, how despicable!"
