1. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.1
192 linesA small island off western Britannia, Albanes.
This small town, bathed in warm sunlight year-round, has recently been buzzing with some unsettling rumors.
Mom, why can't we go into the forest?
I wanna play with my friends too!
Because there's... a witch living in the forest right now.
The village chief is keeping an eye on things, so be patient just a little longer.
A witch...?
Yeah. A very scary witch.
If you run into her... you might never make it back to the village.
Are you sure you're okay with that?
Then... I'll wait.
I don't wanna never see you and Dad again!
The witch in the forest.
They say if you meet her, you'll never return.
But...
Rumors tended to swell in directions no one wanted, the farther they rode the wind.
A princess and her bodyguard knight falling in love... a retired soldier's triumphant rebellion...
It's all the same story.
These pigs' imagination...
Morgan chewed her jerky and grumbled.
When she reached for the next piece, her hand cut through empty air.
...
Ah... I don't wanna go out...
But this is the fun part, and it feels wrong without jerky...
Aaaah!!!
That voice... a human?
Morgan smiled, as if she'd just had a brilliant idea.
The plan was simple.
Save some humans in danger, then squeeze meat out of them as a reward.
No matter how stupid these pigs are, they can't just ignore their lifesaver...
She'd be able to make jerky in bulk.
I was getting so sick of hunting every time...
This means I won't have to leave the house for a while, huh?
A troll... why is it in a place like this...!
A kid, huh...
Even better.
There's no way a parent would pretend not to notice the one who saved their child, right?
Thank you, miss!
I've never seen magic that amazing in my life!
Heh-heh. The forest is dangerous, so hurry home.
Okay! I will. Witch lady!
See you again next time!
A few days later, Morgan met the girl again.
It's been a while, miss!
I brought you something to thank you for last time!
You didn't have to... Huh?
But the girl's parents were nowhere to be seen.
Don't tell me... you came alone?
Yep! I wanted to give it to you right away, so I came as soon as I woke up!
The girl pressed a single flower into Morgan's hand.
Pretty, right? It's a flower called Lathea that blooms in our village.
If you put it in stew, it's super delicious!
I see... is that so.
Morgan gave her staff a light wave, and sent the girl out of the forest.
What a dud.
No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look tasty... What's so great about it...?
I really can't understand humans.
Miss! It's been a while!
I brought flowers again today!
...
Did you already forget what I told you yesterday?
Go home.
Unless you want those bears over there to eat you.
Huh? It's not dangerous at all, though?
You can just protect me, miss.
From that day on, the girl came to see Morgan every day.
Just like always, she'd give Morgan a flower, then take a walk through the forest with a bright smile.
...Well. Once a day is fine, I guess.
At first, Morgan avoided her, but little by little, she started playing along with the girl's pranks.
Miss. Did you try eating the flowers I gave you?
...No matter how I think about it, it's not to my taste.
So you don't need to bring them anymore.
Huh? That can't be right.
Miss... you put them in stew, right?
If you eat it plain, of course it won't taste good!
You have to simmer it with meat for a long time!
...Too much work.
Why do I have to cook?
I'm a fairy. I can live just fine on a single piece of jerky with no...
Excuses!
That has nothing to do with cooking!
But it's a hassle...
Hmm...
Then I'll make it for you myself!
You just thought, A kid like you can cook?
...!
Hehe. No need to be so surprised.
Now I can tell what you're thinking just by looking at your face!
What a scary kid...
Hmm... Your house probably doesn't have any ingredients, does it?
Then I'll bring the ingredients!
See you tomorrow, miss!
Miss! Look, does this suit me?
...
Why all of a sudden... are you going on an adventure?
There are plenty of people besides you who can protect the Empire.
And those people...
They're not worth you throwing your life away to save.
...
Hehe. Actually, me... I was chosen by the Holy Sword.
...!
The Holy Sword is a really important thing, so it can't just change owners whenever it wants.
I don't want to leave my hometown...
And I don't want to be separated from you, miss...
But if I'm the only one who endures, I can save everyone!
That's... reason enough to try.
Don't worry, miss!
I'm your one and only disciple, right?
I'll finish it quick and come back. And I can spread your name while I'm at it!
...Hmph. Can't be helped.
Huh? W-Wait, did the sky just change?!
Now, this is your last lesson.
Before you leave the village, master this spell perfectly.
This is... spatial transfer magic.
Before, you said... humans could never learn it with human mana...
Ordinary humans can't.
But you... you're this Fairy Queen's disciple.
For a disciple of the Fairy Queen, nothing is impossible.
Ugh... Do I really have to learn it?
I only glanced at it and... it already looks way too hard...
There's no such thing as an easy path in this world!
Holy Sword hero or village nobody, once you die, that's the end!
If you've got time to whine, start already!
Waaah! I-I'm sorry, Master! I'll work hard, I swear!
...
Well, I knew it would come to this.
When everything you see is new, and everything you experience gets boring so easily.
That girl... she probably wanted to become a hero too, like other humans.
And so Morgan regained her peaceful daily life.
No more having to drag herself out for walks, or humor a child's whims.
But...
Morgan began walking through the forest again, as usual.
...
...
...
Ten years later, somewhere in eastern Britannia.
...
Seriously... she never learns, all the way to the end.
I told you.
These foolish pigs... aren't worth you protecting with your life.
Morgan lifted the helmet slightly, then closed her disciple's eyes.
But even if I ask again... you'll answer the same way.
Miss. Even so, I... I still want to do my best.
There are bad people sometimes... but not all humans are like that.
...
I'll be watching.
Whether the humans you want so badly to protect... are actually worth it.
...So it's you.
The stupid pigs who dared to lay a hand on my disciple.
You can't stop... the ordained end.
O cursed clan born of the primal fairy's malice.
Repent for your foolishness... and accept salvation.
...You'd better brace yourselves.
Because soon... you'll be begging for death with your own hands.
Welcome! What can I get you?
...A bowl of chicken stew.
Coming right up!
Wait. Take this first.
Morgan set the flower she'd kept tucked away onto the table.
This is... a Lathea flower!
If anything, I should be the one asking. Are you sure I can accept something this precious?
Even if I keep it... it's useless to me.
You can have all the leftovers.
Just make me the best dish you can.
Yes! Please wait just a moment!
Soon, the chicken stew arrived.
Here you go. Eat up before it gets cold!
Huh? That can't be...
I'm sorry... It's been a while since I used this ingredient, so I'm not used to it...
If you'd like, I can make it again.
Don't worry. I'm just talking to myself.
After finishing the stew, Morgan stood up.
Her footsteps, vanishing beyond the Veil of Stars, looked endlessly heavy.
2. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.3
76 linesPlease... please...!
Decades later, in a small pub in a back alley.
A young girl pressed her hands together and prayed with all her might.
At the end of her gaze, slimes of every color were racing toward the finish line.
Blue... just a little more!
Hey, Red! You got first last time! Why are you dead last now?!
Clarisse's bet was on the Dark Slime.
A ruler of the field that hadn't dropped below third place in the last five races.
This time too, it took third.
Just hold it there... I don't even have money to buy stew anymore!!!
But as if mocking her desperation,
the true star of the show appeared.
W-What...?! Why's it acting like that all of a sudden?!
That's it, Red! Show me what you've got!
And just like that, the Red Slime went berserk and shot straight to first.
Boom!!!
With a casual flick of Morgan's hand, the Red Slime transformed into a goblin.
W-What the...?! It wasn't a slime, it was a goblin!
Give me my money back!!!
Wow. You totally saved me!
Pulling a filthy trick like that in a sacred slime race!
If it weren't for you, I would've starved again today.
...
I-I have no idea what you're talking about...
I'm Clarisse, master of slime racing!
I've got nothing to do with the Hero...
Of course those stupid pigs wouldn't notice, but...
you can't fool my eyes.
Haven't you heard it screaming this whole time?
From that scabbard hanging at your waist.
...
...So it was you, the one who kept following me.
I thought the Empire sent an assassin... so I didn't know whether to call that good news or not.
...It's about time you answered me.
Why is a Hero like you rolling around in a back alley like this?
Just like it looks.
I have no reason to save the world, so I'm simply not saving it.
That's all.
Why?
For the owner of the Holy Sword to save the world... that's not a choice. It's an obligation.
Even if you're a stupid pig, you can't possibly not know that, can you?
...That's just what you think.
If you want to save the world that badly, then go do it yourself.
Can't even the Fairy Queen do that?
I wanted to.
But without the Holy Sword, I can't find the place where the God of Destruction is sealed.
...
All I need... is the Holy Sword.
And believe me, I don't want to work with humans either.
Especially not someone who can stare the end of the world in the face... and still gamble like it's nothing.
What?
I don't want to travel with an auntie like you, either.
A-An auntie...?
If you want to seal the God of Destruction, handle it yourself.
Whether the world ends or not, it has nothing to do with me.
Or kill me right here and go find a new Hero.
That's how you fairies do it, isn't it?
Clarisse shoved her chair back and stood up.
Morgana picked up the spoon Clarisse had been using and began chanting.
3. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.4
39 linesClarisse... I'm sorry.
Forgive us... for placing the heaviest responsibility in the world on you, while you're still so young.
You'll face countless trials ahead.
There will definitely be times you want to give up.
But remember this.
Even if everyone doubts you...
Clarisse. You are my proud daughter.
Burn it all!
They're no longer the Hero's family!
They're traitors who betrayed the Empire!
...
What... have I been fighting for?
To become the Empire's loyal hunting dog?
Or... to protect those filthy beasts?
Clarisse collapsed right where she stood.
Mother... please answer me.
Why... was I chosen by the Holy Sword?
Even with this Holy Sword everyone envies...
I still couldn't protect the family I love... so why me?! Why!!!
Clarisse's scream vanished beyond the flames along with the ashes.
...
I'm sorry, Luna.
I... I'm too late, aren't I?
Don't worry. I'll never... leave your side again.
Until then... rest peacefully.
I'll... keep waiting.
...
Parents executed for treason... the surviving sister left unconscious from the shock of that day...
Someone who chased justice being crushed by reality... that's nothing unusual.
...
No reason to save the world, huh...
Then I'll just make one for you myself.
Clarisse. This is bad!
No time to mope!
That fairy you ran into earlier... is heading to your house!
Luna's in danger!
...!
4. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.5
68 linesIn the end, you're... just like the Empire.
For your own world...
you think it's fine to trample someone else's world without mercy... that arrogance...
It's enough to make me sick.
...?
You thought taking my sister hostage... would make me obey you?
If you really thought that, I'm sorry.
I've been through that trick so many times, it doesn't work on me at all.
Fine... It wouldn't be bad to check your skill while I have the chance.
One piece of advice, though...
You should fire your informant right away.
With news this slow... do you really think you can respond to an ambush?
Holy Sword Excalibur... it really is as incredible as the rumors say.
You're the first one who's ever held out against me this long.
...
Why... why won't anyone just leave me alone.
I didn't... want to be chosen by the Holy Sword.
I only wanted... to protect my precious family.
Am I asking for too much?
Why, just because I'm the Hero...
Just because I was chosen by the Holy Sword!!!
Do I have to give up everything...
Answer me.
Answer me, Fairy Queen!!!
The justice you pursue... the world you claim to protect!
Why do I...
Why can't my family... be together...
...
Ugh. This is why you don't take in black-haired pigs.
It's only been three hundred years...
and you've already forgotten every last one of this Fairy Queen's exploits.
What...?
Don't you dare mock the Fairy Queen's name.
A hostage? I've never even thought of that.
If I was going to do something that annoying...
it'd be much easier to wipe this vast city off the map.
Then... why did you come all the way here.
Rolling around like idiots for someone else, sacrificing yourselves...
That's what you humans love, isn't it?
So I just made one.
Someone you'll have to protect with your life for the rest of it.
If you're curious, go check for yourself.
Explaining any more would just make my jaw hurt.
Sister!!!
Luna...?
Just now... a pretty fairy told me.
How hard you've been trying... for me.
Thank you... for not giving up on me, sister.
I'm so happy I can see you... being amazing again!
So? Do you feel a little more like saving the world now?
I wanted to see what you could do.
It was a little disappointing, but... you barely pass.
...
Fine! I lost.
I'll grant your shameless, pushy request.
But don't get the wrong idea!
I'm not cooperating because I want to save the world, like you said...
I'm doing it for Luna's future.
5. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.7
69 linesSo... where are we going now?
To find your companions.
Even if you're the owner of the Holy Sword, with your current skill, you're nowhere near good enough.
At this rate, you'll die before you even face the God of Destruction.
Yeah, yeah. Sorry for being such a pathetic Hero!
I'm just dying to see what kind of incredible companions you're gonna bring me!
Whatever you're imagining, it'll be even more than that.
Because from here on... we're going to find the legendary Holy Grail.
I finally found the spirit of the Holy Grail, Eva.
To think she'd be hiding in a cramped place like this...
...
This time it's a fairy...
Sorry, but go back.
I have no intention of handing this Holy Grail over to anyone.
...
The God of Destruction's revival is close.
To reach the sealed place, I need your power.
As the spirit of the Holy Grail, you don't have a reason more important than the world's fate, do you?
I do.
There's... a place I have to return to.
Until I find a way to get there, I can't hand over the Grail.
Huh...? Don't tell me... you want me to fight?
That's... the spell you used on me before, isn't it?
Peeking into someone else's memories... what a nasty hobby.
Not a Fairy Queen, a Demon Queen...
...If you want, I can show you an even cooler spell.
For example... a spell that can turn you into an orc...
Have a safe trip, love ya!
Clarisse quietly drew her sword and charged at Eva.
(This memory is unstable, but... I can tell at a glance.)
(This place isn't Britannia. It's a space from another world.)
(Heh. Heh! Looks like I can offer a better deal than I thought.)
Surprised.
To think the spirit guarding the Holy Grail... is a human who crossed between worlds.
...
If I can offer you one piece of advice... don't cling to futile hope.
Even if you borrow the Holy Grail's power, that kind of miracle won't happen.
...
Then how... am I supposed to live from now on?
Dozens of times a day... those memories come back.
I know the me in those memories is already dead... but the feelings still remain.
But what's even scarier is...
even those aching feelings... are slowly fading away.
Yeah. It'd be hard to endure with a clear mind.
Still, you're lucky.
Because I happen to know how.
...! Really?!
I can open the Gate even now.
The problem is... finding the exact coordinates in the vast sea of stars.
Even as the Fairy Queen, it's impossible to do in a short time.
It could take decades... and if you're unlucky, it could take hundreds of years.
But I can be sure of at least two things.
That for me, the Fairy Queen, nothing is impossible...
and that the world will be destroyed before we ever find it.
Heh. Heh! Glad you catch on quickly.
But you'd better keep your promise.
If you fail... I'll curse you with everything I've got.
No matter if you're the Fairy Queen, you can't escape the Holy Grail's curse.
Yeah. I'll remember.
...
How is that anything like a Fairy Queen...
No matter how I look at it, she's obviously the bad guy...
6. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.10
52 lines...There's something I'm curious about.
...I was wondering that too.
Morgan le Fay. You were once famed as Oberon's reincarnation, but...
at some point you vanished to avoid humans.
So much time has passed that barely anyone even remembers that name anymore.
Why did you change your mind?
I got curious about something.
About what?
You're shameless... You peeked into other people's past whenever you wanted.
And who was it that got help from that shameless fairy... again?
...
And I've got something I'm curious about too.
...?
Even if the times have improved...
I don't think it's a good idea to put yourself on full display like that.
What is it?
I-It's a boring story...
Huh?
I lost my armor betting it on a race, okay?!
A-And this isn't underwear!
It's a groundbreaking product that does the full job of clothing with just a single thin cloth!
Then... why don't you just buy another suit of armor?
No, absolutely not.
Then I'd be admitting I lost.
I haven't lost yet!
I'm just... a little short on funds... so I retreated for now, that's all!
...
...
...
7. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.11
47 linesHehe... perfect timing.
Disappearing without a word means...
Whichever fairy finds her first wins.
Don't tell me... you're going to kidnap the Saintess too?
Human bodies are fragile... they die so easily, right?
It can't hurt to have a backup plan, just in case.
So you're not denying the kidnapping part...
So how are we going to find her?
If the whole city searched and still couldn't find her...
That means she's hiding on purpose.
Hah. Hah! Have you forgotten who I am already?
I even tracked down that hopeless hero addicted to gambling...
This will be a breeze.
And so the three set out to find the missing Saintess.
......
Don't tell me... you were just confident for no reason?
Even the great Fairy Queen can't do everything, huh?
Sure, sure. That happens!
Clarisse. I'd recommend you stop there...
Are you looking for Lueira?
...?
I think I know where she might be.
Follow me.
...This is suspicious.
Still, it doesn't seem like she's lying.
What do you think, Morgan? Should we follow for now?
......
Sure. Of course you can.
Eva, let's leave that smug fairy and follow her.
At this rate, it'll be night before we know it.
......
8. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.12
86 linesIn the past... this was an ordinary village.
But sadly, it got caught up in a dragon's power struggle.
Lueira used her power to strike back against a venomous dragon's ambush, but...
Lueira was still a young dragon, and couldn't control her own power.
As a result... innocent people were harmed.
This devastation... was done by the Saintess?
Humans, afraid of the dragon's power, began to attack Lueira.
But I knew that in the end... it would only lead to another tragedy.
So I took Lueira in and cared for her.
So that she could control her power,
and further, so that she could use it to save others.
......
Because I discovered... that this village was my homeland.
......!
The guilt of destroying your parents' homeland with your own hands.
As that overlapped with memories of the past, she ended up making this choice.
Everything... is my fault.
I should've kept it secret for life...!
That's... impossible.
Lueira's curse is so strong she can't undo it even with her own will.
With a dazzling light, the village began to return to its original form.
But you... suddenly turned into a kid.
Because I turned the village's time back into the past.
Of course it would affect me too.
I'll be back to normal soon.
......Mm?
Lueira!
Lueira... calm down.
I'll explain everything...
Hmm... this isn't getting through.
Clarisse. Go calm her down.
I can't use magic right now.
Why did you... wake me up?
I'm... someone who brings misfortune.
No matter how much I atone... my sin won't disappear...
Thud.
Ow!
Lueira!
The old woman threw down her cane and hugged Lueira tightly.
I'm sorry...
Because I kept hiding it... you ended up making this choice...!
......
sniff...
Mother... why did you take me in?
To you, I'm... nothing but an unforgivable monster... so why...?
If I'd left you, you would've come to hate humans.
Someone has to break the chain of hatred. If not, the tragic history of dragons and humans will repeat.
So I chose the path of forgiving you.
And I've never regretted that choice... not even once.
......!
Lueira. No matter what anyone says... you're my proud daughter.
So now... move forward.
You don't... have to be bound by the past anymore.
It's fine. We didn't help for free, after all.
.....?
From now on... we're setting out on a journey to stop the resurrection of the God of Destruction.
As Britannia's Saintess, you can't just pretend you didn't see it, can you?
9. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.15
35 linesFive years later, the central Labyrinth of Britannia.
After defeating Flame Emperor Agnes, the hero party set out to find the path to the Abyss.
Lueira... can I get one more bowl, please.
Huh? You're done already?
I didn't take it.
That drumstick was already reserved for me.
If I had to explain... it simply returned to its owner.
That's what taking it is!
It's not like I can read your mind...
How was I supposed to know about meat you decided on in your head?!
Then you should've learned when I said I'd teach you.
Why do you hate magic so much?
It's so convenient and easy.
Morgan. You can't take other people's food.
I'm a fairy, you know?
Nice try, but that wordplay won't work!
We're companions.
It's a lot more fun to eat together than to eat alone.
......
...Fine.
Lueira. Could I... ask for one more bowl too?
Of course! As much as you want!
And so the journey was racing toward its destination.
Filled with everyone's hopes,
for Britannia's tomorrow.
10. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.19
93 linesAll right, it's finally the final battle.
......
Even now, you're bragging about yourself?
Maybe you're fine since you're the Fairy Queen, but I...!
......
If you were an ordinary human, you would've given up long ago, even with the Holy Sword.
You can be proud.
All right, from here on, it's your stage.
With your own hands...
You'll seize Britannia's future.
We did it!
Seriously. My companions were so strong I didn't even get to use the Holy Sword.
......
Morgan. Now the world is... safe, right?
Yeah. The God of Destruction has been completely eradicated.
Congratulations on becoming heroes who saved the world.
...Hehe.
Like you said, it doesn't feel like much.
I just... want to hug Luna with all my strength...
and rest comfortably at home.
......
For the first time, we agree.
Me too. Eating Lueira's stew... quietly watching the night sky...
Slice.
Huh...?
......
Foolish mortals...
With your dull struggle, you cannot stop me...
Worship me. And despair.
A brilliant civilization will be buried in the earth and vanish...
Everything... shall fall to ruin!!!
Lueira.
Thank you for always protecting us.
Without you, I... wouldn't have made it this far.
The party would've fallen apart long ago.
We have so many weird people in our party, right?
Of course I'm normal, though!
Clarisse...!
You... don't have to... sacrifice yourself...
Let's go back first... it's not too late to think of a way...!
Heh! So it really is a crisis.
I think this is... the first time in five years I've seen you lie.
......
Can't you hear me... telling you to stop?
You said you didn't want to learn magic.
So why... now...!
Because every miracle started with your magic.
......!
Like you said, I hated magic.
That blessing the Gods gave humans... ironically stole everything precious from me.
My parents were killed by an imperial mage...
The companions I went adventuring with died at the hands of heretics.
I couldn't understand it.
Why give us this kind of power, just to make us fight each other?
But... after meeting you, I changed my mind.
The reason Luna came back to my side...
The reason we could gather like this... was all thanks to your magic.
So I wanted to learn at least one thing too.
Magic that could protect my companions.
Clarisse...
Pfft! Looking at that empty expression...
It was worth holding it in and learning.
......
Thank you for everything, Fairy Queen.
Take care of Luna... for me.
11. Memories of the Fairy Queen Ep.20
83 linesS-Stop hitting me!
Aren't you the Fairy Queen?
You should be attacking the Death Dragon, why are you hitting me?!
Humans... you? Why?
When a new kingdom appears... a new king appears too...
And those new kings... come trying to kill me, saying they're the strongest in the world...!
S-Sob...! I'm not some goblin... why do they only do this to me?!
......
That's... kind of shocking.
The legendary Dragon Lord... is actually this big a coward.
S-So... I called my kin.
If we smash it before they come... then that annoying stuff won't happen, right?
......
S-So... could you just go back now...?
I... I'm not interested in fairies...
If we just deal with one kingdom... I promise I'll live quietly again...
Huh? What is it...?
The Kingdom of Britannia.
Give your blessing to Pendragon, the king of that kingdom you're worried about.
Make it strong enough to pass down even to his children.
Then the kingdom will worship you as its guardian deity.
Give my blessing to a human...?
That's ridiculous!
D-Do you think this is like some priest's blessing?!
The Red Dragon's Blessing can only be given to someone acknowledged by I, Karishara...
...Then we have no choice.
Even if all your scales get ripped off, will you be able to say the same?
...O-Okay.
I don't know why you look after humans, but...
I'll give the blessing, so... hurry up and go back!
Scene transition
Morgan. Did you hear that?
Luna... founded her own kingdom.
When we first met, Luna was a child who didn't know anything... Humans really do grow up fast.
Because Luna wants to... restore her sister's honor.
Even now... it makes me so angry.
It's true we couldn't fully stop the God of Destruction's curse, but...
Clarisse gave her life... and saved the world.
Humans are just that kind of species.
Stupid pigs who only see the world the way that's convenient for them.
If it weren't for Clarisse...
It wouldn't have ended with just one continent's humans being wiped out.
But... she is also the hero who saved the world.
......
Are you two... going to be okay?
I can't really say this, since I'm the one who dragged you in, but this is a fight with no end in sight.
You could die of old age while waiting...
Or something could happen to your memories.

Everyone, see you later.
Yes! Everyone... let's meet again tomorrow morning.
