A large castle located in the heart of the place where everything is frozen and extremely cold.......a place feared by those who live in the demon world as the land of death......that was the second dream of a lonely girl.
　The lord of the castle, the Death King, Isis Remnant, had left Crom'eina as king to become independent and had immediately asked her family, Chartia, to build the castle for her.

　He had prepared many rooms so that they wouldn't have to deal with a lot of people living in it, and even furnished it so that it would be ready for immediate use. A huge dining room with enough room for many people, a large bathhouse... It's true that her heart was full of dreams when this castle was first built.
　The dream of one day laughing in the crowded castle like she did when she spent time with her family at Cromieina's. However, that dream has been frozen like a castle built in the extreme cold.

　In one corner of that large residence, a stack of books overflowed. As usual, Isis was reading a book by herself. That's not to say that there aren't visitors to the castle, with close friends and family members who used to spend time with her, including her good friend Liliwood, coming to visit from time to time.
　But both Lillywood and Cromieina are usually busy and don't visit as often as they should. Recently, his beloved lover, Kaito, has begun to visit them often, but even so, he spends far more time alone.

　However, it was not so painful compared with before because it met with pleasant person and was saved, though I used to raise a sense of impatience in the time that was alone. It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends.
　There is no hurry in the current Isis and there is enough time to accept the current situation.
Is that why?　

''........Isis-sama, I have prepared a cup of tea for you, would you like one?''

　

''Well ... thank you ... I'm glad ...''

　After smiling happily at Iris' words, Isis waved her hand lightly and a table and chair appeared between them. Then, after confirming that Iris was seated on the chair, Iris prepared tea and sweets and placed them in front of Iris.

''........Iris too.......join me......''
'Yes. Then I will join you.
...yes!

　Since Iris had moved into the castle as her subordinate, Isis was in such a good mood that it was obvious from a sidelong glance. It even felt like the inside of the castle, which was empty and cold, became lively and warm just by adding just one more person.

''Is........Iris......training......going well?''
That said, I'm struggling with the art of building with concepts a bit and I'd appreciate your advice, if possible.
''Well it's a bit of a ... trick ...''

　Iris's presence reminded Isis of a dream she had almost forgotten. The dream she had drawn when she had just built this castle, her own home, warm and crowded with many people... she felt like she had taken a step forward in the soles she had almost forgotten.
　I am still alone. He knew that the matter of Iris was not accomplished by himself either, but thanks to Kaito and Chartier. Still, it was certainly ... a step in the right direction.
　A new hope dwelt in Isis's heart that this place would someday become a more crowded and enjoyable place........no, I'm sure I'll make it so.

　As Isis was thinking about this while answering Iris' question, she suddenly moved her gaze and saw a strange scene.






　There was a large table, and the figures of six unique women could be seen there.

''Yare yare, he's a guy with muscles packed to the brain, I don't think he'll be able to come up with a constructive opinion, but...''

　A woman in a robe with the appearance of a sorceress and a huge coffin propped up next to her chair shakes her head.

''Still, it's better than some reclusive, shady woman, though.
"...huh?
...Huh?

　A woman carrying six swords, three on each side of her waist and three on each side, with insect-like touches and wings, announced agitatedly and glared at the robed woman.

''Oh?　It looks like it's going to start again, I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble. I'll be happy if you can clean up until I finish my tea.''

　A woman in a white, pointy hat laughs merrily and pours out a cup of tea.

"Don't drink it, you couldn't help yourself...

　And Iris, who is the only one of the six who is familiar to Isis, muttered while putting her hand to her forehead in a dumbfounded manner.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's really a good thing that you're not bored with it. Are we on good terms or bad terms?

　The woman, who seems to be a spirit with a blue flower on her head like a hairpiece, which is memorable to Isis, tells her in a relaxed and unique tone.

It's okay for both of you to be the one to lead the fight. The loser should buy me some clothes in return. That's right, it's a punishment game.

　The two of them, laughing and bickering happily, are entwined with the smallest girl of the six, with ten silver tails, fox-like ears, and distinctive double teeth.

''Stand back, you evil fox!''
Nya-ha-ha, you can't do that. Well, let's get right to it.

　The beastman girl was about to interrupt the fight between the swordsman and the sorcerer, but in the middle of the fight, her ears stretched out as if she noticed something, and she turned away from them, waving her ten tails happily.
　The two who were arguing, the spirit, the witch who was drinking tea, and Iris who was holding her head in her hands all looked in the same direction as the beastman girl.

　And the six of them told her at exactly the same time with expressions of joy from the bottom of their hearts.

''Welcome back, Isis-sama.''

　With those words, the scene in Isis's eyes disappeared as if nothing had happened from the beginning.






''........Isis-sama?　How can I help you?
''Oh ... uh ... no ... it's nothing.
"Hmm?

　After smiling at Iris, who nodded her head curiously and told her it was nothing, Isis reached for her tea.
　Was what she just saw just now just a hallucination.......or was it a scene from the future, shown by the 'Piece of God's Power of the Other World' that dwells within her.......

　Only, somehow........although there was no reason or basis for it, Isis was certain. The scene he saw earlier - that it would one day become reality........








　Isis Remnant had been in the dark for a long time. If we can describe the pleasant person who dispelled her darkness and illuminated her with a warm light as the sun for her, then we can say that she was the moon as she began to shine in the darkness with that light.
　The moon rose in the dark night sky, and as if in succession... little by little, but steadily... the stars were also about to appear.


　A woman interrupted her mindless training for a moment's rest....


　A woman who had been holed up in a cave for a long time and went out on a whim....


　A spirit inhabiting a single blue flower that blooms in a desolate land........


　A demon resembling a fox stops suddenly as it runs across the snowfield with its silver tail fluttering....


　A witch in a white hat who spends nearly ten thousand years on a small, empty island........


　And Iris, who was outside the castle on her way to the bar at Kaito's house....


　Each of them were in different places, 'looking up at the moon in the night sky at exactly the same time'........or maybe it was inevitable.

　Because the dream that had been frozen is already moving - illuminated by the sun.
