Opening, a Star Cup

"It's a fairy tale that's farther than the sea... so far away - there's a beautiful princess somewhere."

"She has blonde hair that the moon would envy."

"Bright eyes that make the stars pale. A voice that would put even a bird to shame. Her beauty is known across the seven continents."

"Men from all over the world came to propose to the princess one after another. Needless to say, gold and silver treasures, the princess also received more than a hundred territories, thousands of castles, and tens of thousands of servants."

"But the princess is not satisfied at all."

【—I want something more beautiful and precious. 】

So more men sent unique treasures.Needless to say, the unique love vow in the world.

The princess even received the only secret treasure in the world, a unparalleled fetish in the sky.

But the princess was still not satisfied.No matter how beautiful it is, it is not as beautiful as the princess.

No matter what kind of love, it is a matter of course for the princess.No matter what kind of treasure, the princess already has it.

—There is no other treasure in this world that can amaze the princess.

Even so, the princess still said this:

【Come here—is there any more wonderful treasures? 】

——And so came a certain day.A prince came to the princess.The prince was unlike any man the princess had ever seen.

He was young and strong, but poorly dressed.It didn't look like he was carrying any treasure on his body.

But the prince offered the [little treasure] and said:

"I want to present a treasure that the princess has never seen before."

See what the prince offered—the most beautiful treasure in the world.The princess couldn't help admiring it...and then made a vow of love to the prince.

that treasure is

……

"—This is it, this is [true love]!" [She] closed the book forcefully and shouted.

In this way, [she] fell into a long sleep in pursuit of [true love].

Waiting for the day when the man who holds the [little treasure] in the fairy tale will appear. ——But he never thought about the imminent consequences of sleeping.

—What she was reading was indeed Fairy Tales.

However, the story of her who fell asleep in pursuit of a fairy tale is not "Fairy Tale".

That is a section of "Historical Facts" that is farther than the sea and so stupid that no one can help laughing.

……

"Since Her Royal Highness fell into a deep sleep, this world has become like this. The sky has been completely enveloped by the 'water spirit', and the bright red has thus turned into blue." Plum said in a low voice.

"No one knows why the queen fell into a deep sleep. They can only understand that all of this was caused by her--that kind of 'water spirit', I am afraid that only the sea dwelling species that are most beloved by the ocean can possess...da Everyone says so."

"We panicked at the beginning, and even tried to open the barrier by threatening those sea-dwelling species..."

"After all, no one wants to be trapped in an underwater city for the rest of their lives...but your current relationship doesn't look 'bad'." Kong took the words and asked with a concentrated smile.

"If the problem can be solved by force, of course it couldn't be easier... But ah! This is the sea!" Plum's eyes flashed slightly.

"The sea-dwelling species with a large amount of 'water essence' in its body, you should be able to feel the allure of men! Even as a girl, I... sometimes-"

"No, not at all." Blank said in unison, while showing strange eyes.

Kong knew why, he was not attracted.

He doesn't have a 'spirit' in his body, looking at the sea dwellers, they are just a group of good-looking girls, and he doesn't feel the allure of beauties causing harm to the country and the people at all.

"...!!" Plum.

... She stared wide open, speechless for a moment.

Are there really people who will not be tempted by sea dwellers even in the sea? !

Plum shook his head, but kept talking.

"Anyway, the Da family worked hard together for a long time, but they did not wake up the sleeping queen. Gradually, many people gave up and began to establish their own forces in Oceania. Among them, because of strength and quantity, we vampires are considered here The strongest party other than the sea-dwelling species."

"Because I heard that there were outsiders [intruders], I was curious, so I took over the task of arresting you for them." Plum said pitifully.

She suddenly felt that she was too miserable...

It should have been a foolproof situation, right?

The outsider trapped by the 'sixfold spell'...should be easily captured by her, right? !That's not a tricky thing.

but……

——Who knew that what was trapped in the cage was not a rabbit, but a beast that could break through the cage?

And according to Plum, if she guessed right, this is where the queen slept in the first place.

It is said that this small world is the world in the queen's "dream".

Da experts compare the sky outside Oceande to the "cage" made by the queen's beautiful dream, and this small world where the queen is sleeping is called "dream within a dream", the "inner world" of the second dream.
