"Cheers~~!!"
A waning moon hangs high in the sky.
Outside the bear's church, the enormous bonfire had already surpassed the height of the church not far away.
"Hahaha~~ This is an incredibly delicious sea monster!"
Loki sat down next to Nelly, tilting his head back as if waiting for something.
"It took me a lot of effort to catch it!"
Nelly, of course, was not one to spoil the fun, and immediately had Bazel put her on Loki's shoulder.
Raise your hand.
He stroked Loki's head as if he were stroking Bazel.
"Mmm, Loki-chan is amazing! I've never eaten food that Bazel made for me before."
"He was mischievous even as a child, it was really a headache."
"I wish Loki were my child, sigh..."
ε=（′0「*）））
Nelly sighed.
"I would be very happy if Loki were my child."
Loki scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly.
Bazel, standing nearby, ruthlessly interrupted: "Mom, this guy used to be the one who commanded—Pfft!"
Loki punched Bazel, sending him flying, and laughed, "Nothing, nothing. Big brother was just saying I was pitiful when I was little, right, big brother!"
"You little brat—"
Spitting out the bits of grass in his mouth, Bazel didn't hold it against Loki.
He understood why Loki valued his image in his mother's eyes so much.
The most important things are often understood better by those who don't have them than by those who do.
This maternal love is exactly what Loki once longed for but never had.
This is one of the reasons why he chose to bring Loki to meet his mother.
Bazel knew his mother's personality and hoped that her cheerfulness and optimism could influence Loki.
To "extract" him from the bloodthirsty and warlike nature of the ancient giants.
This was the last "strong medicine" he gave Loki in a short period of time.
During his childhood, Loki had Ida's help and love. After Ida disappeared, Bazel hoped that his mother could fill the void left by Ida.
To make up for the lack of love in Loki's soul.
Watching Loki carefully hold Nelly in his arms, the two of them swayed their heads and hummed a song together.
Bazel's lips curled up slightly.
"Bazaar, do you know this!"
After a few drinks, or perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, Xiong suddenly started dancing the Nika dance by the campfire.
My father once told me...
"Knock knock knock knock♪~"
"Knock knock knock knock♪~"
"Just keep dancing to this rhythm, just keep dancing to this rhythm————"
Recalling his father's face, which was already somewhat blurred in his memory, Xiong gritted his teeth and continued dancing.
Bazel lowered his head, not looking at the tears that Xiong was trying to hold back in his eyes.
"Then we can summon Nika, the warrior of liberation, and everyone's suffering will surely end!"
A lonely song rose from the campfire, and Loki whispered an apology to Nelly.
Stand up.
"Hey, bear!!"
The bear stopped dancing.
"The Nika Dance should be danced joyfully!"
"Like this!"
Loki raised his arms and legs and began to dance Nika's dance.
"We, the people of Elbaf, are devotees of the sun god Nika. I am a prince of the giants, and I know more about Nika than anyone else!!"
A follower of the sun god Nika?
Xiong was stunned, but when he saw that the other person's dance moves and rhythm were even more perfect than his own, his expression changed.
His smile was genuine and warm.
"That's right, Loki-san~"
"The Nika Dance is a dance to celebrate liberation, the happiest dance ever, hahaha! 'Dong dong dong dong♪~'"
"Knock knock knock knock♪~"
Bazel shook his head, raised his glass, and joined in the dance.
"Let me see, oh! So that's how you jump!"
"That's right, that's right, big brother, this is the Nika Dance, hahaha!" Loki's cheerful laughter carried far.
Gradually, jackals, tigers, and leopards emerged from the jungle.
Nelly, who was sitting and drinking, shook her head at Ginny: "They're not here to hunt, you see."
Ginny, gripping the wooden stick, watched the wild beasts nervously.
As the first wolf straightened up and began to dance like the bear and Loki, more and more animals joined in.
Loki raised his glass and laughed loudly, "That's right, that's right! The Nika Dance is a joyful dance that all creatures can dance! Everyone, let's dance together!"
The bear ran to the front, gave a shout, and began a new round of dancing.
oooooooo! !
One after another, the ferocious beasts emerged and followed behind the bear, raising their heads and howling.
Standing on its hind legs, it uses its forelimbs to make dance gestures unique to Nicol.
Hahaha~~
"This is really interesting! Count me in!"
Bazel nestled beside a tiger cub, his right hand raised high with a wine glass, his left hand clinging to the tiger's body as they danced the Nika Dance together.
"It seems like Bazel is very happy."
Nelly did not join the banquet; instead, she sat to the side, sipping her drink.
"Ginny, you should go and have fun too. It's a really fun party."
Ginny, who was sitting with her back to Nellie, shook her head, then suddenly turned around, revealing her cheeks stuffed with roasted meat.
"I don't have time! I want to eat meat!"
"This is incredibly rare sea king meat! I absolutely have to eat as much as I can!"
Nelly didn't try to persuade her further, but simply looked up at the starry sky through the smoke rising from the campfire.
"It's been a long time since it's been this lively. It seems that little Bazel really enjoys being a pirate."
"very good!"
"One more time!"
Aww!!
The waning moon disappeared, and the sun rose.
As the morning wind blew, the wild beasts, who had been raging all night, opened their eyes and walked into the jungle as if nothing had happened.
Only after all the beasts had disappeared did Bazel quietly open his eyes.
"Mom, aren't you asleep yet?"
"I'm used to it."
Nelly beckoned to Bazel and pulled him into her arms, just like when they were children.
"How about we go back to the palace with Mom today? Loki will be in the care of Bear and Ginny."
"You haven't seen Grandpa in a long time either. He's been asking why you haven't come back yet."
Bazel immediately nodded in agreement.
Then, he activated the Life Return technique to shrink his body muscles, and most of the white hair that was draped over his shoulders suddenly broke off.
It looks exactly like it did when it was still at the Navy Headquarters a few years ago.
"It's still familiar here. Let's go. It will take several hours to walk to the palace from here."
Bazel was the first to stand up and half-squat in front of his mother.
"What are you doing?" Nelly asked curiously.
"Let me carry you on my back, just like you carried me when we were little."
After his mother jumped onto his back, Bazel smiled and headed north toward the town.
"Let me tell you, Mom, this trip was incredibly profitable!"
"The Beasts Pirates are so funny, hahaha~"
Shortly after the mother and child left, Loki opened his eyes.
"Bear."
"You're awake too. Good morning, Loki."
The bear rubbed its eyes and got up.
"Is Mom some kind of special race? Why isn't she sleeping?"
"Are you referring to Lady Nelly?" Bear scratched his head. "She's just an ordinary human, right? She's always been perfectly normal, nothing special about her."
"Maybe he was too excited last night. After all, Bazel left here when he was 6 years old, so he should be 21 now, right?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Loki!"
The bear suddenly approached Loki, his face full of excitement.
"Ha~~~"
"Could you tell me more about Nika's story? I only heard a few stories from my father when I was a child and a slave!"
"I want to know more about Nika!"
Loki patted his chest confidently: "Oh! No problem, I'm a Nika expert!"
[Solvi Kingdom - Royal Palace]
The servants walking inside the palace were in a hurry.
"Have you heard? Lady Nelly seems to have brought the prince back!"
"I heard! I also heard that His Highness the Prince rushed here disheveled after hearing the news!"
"Shh! Lord Beccori is here!"
Ignoring the servants who greeted him, Beccori strode toward the depths of the palace with a gloomy face.
Ten minutes later—
boom--!
The door was kicked open forcefully.
"Hey, Uncle!"
"Hurry up and pass the throne to me! I, Beccori, am the rightful King of Solvi!"
"Nellie——Master."
Nelly glanced calmly at the man who barged in: "No manners whatsoever. Where's your etiquette, or have you started to think of yourself as a king?"
Becley glanced at the "skinny young man" sitting next to Nelly, unable to muster even the slightest smile.
"It's none of your business how I do things."
"Who knows about this bastard?!"
Bazel, who was standing next to the old king, suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Beccori, his steel-like fingers gripping the man's throat tightly.
"I don't like the tone of your voice, understand?"
Beccori struggled desperately with both hands, his face turning as red as a pig's liver.
"I am the future king of this kingdom."
"Get out, you disrespectful brat!"
