While Meru was watching the two playing together, a knock was hear from the door. Then the voice of the great knight commander was heard.

「Princess Forna, his majesty, king Mondol wants to see you」

「Eh? Wha, what should I do Meru?」

Probably not wanting to show how she normally acts in front of Arena, she immediately stood up. But then Arena who noticed that Mondol was outside the door smiled,

「Ojii-chan?」

「That voice, Arena!!」

「Eh, My King!?」

Hearing Arena's voice, Mondol went in the room without listening to anyone calling out to him。Arena who was humanized and was wearing a robe, stood up and immediately hugged Mondol. Forna and Meru were stunned by the sudden turn of events not knowing how to react.

「Ah, Yoshi Yoshi. You came again to visit Arena. I only wanted to confirm since I've heard that you came to play, are you alone today? What about Aidle and La Veil?」

「None, Only me!!」

「Hohou, Is that so, I see」

The dignity of a king immediately vanished as he changed his face to that of a sloppy old man pampering his grandchild while patting Arena's head. Seeing that, Forna regained her consciousness and fixed her posture.

「Hmm, Nn! King Mondol. What have you come here for today?」

「Muh? Ah Forna-dono. Sorry I got a bit too distracted. I was thinking of having a meeting in regards to the reestablishment of the Beastman Country. Was I a bother in some way?」

Forna's expression was indeed kind of dissatisfied just as Mondol have said, and that was because her play time with Arena was disturbed. But competing with Arena was certainly hard.

「We were playing!! Want to join us, Ojii-chan?」

「Is that so. Then Forna-dono, may I also join you?」

「Eh!? Eh...Um......That is...」

Still confused about what to do, Arena interrupted and told her, who was still puzzled in regards to the King's proposal.

「Forna... It's more fun to play with everyone, you know?......Is it no good?」[TL: Arena Killer Move: Arena Pleading]

「Got it, it's fine!!」

First will be a match between the Mondol and Forna. Arena in her fairy form went down on the board to move around the board as she teaches them what to do. The two people quietly listen to her while smiling.

「......Ah right. Actually, I know of the event that happened during the night」

「Ku! ......Eh, Is, is that so」

It was understandable for Forna to panic a bit regarding that. However, no matter how skilled they are at hiding, it was just plain impossible to conceal such a huge dragon from the people in the castle, so it was quite imaginable what would happen if the king didn't know about it before then it would have caused quite a panic.

「Well, I can't really blame you for acting like that. But, you have been with us for a few years now. And I know that in those years, you did your best to behave properly. It was a shame though, that you still continued harboring hate towards us humans. I know that it must have been something quite hard for a young girl like you to experience」

「About that......I understand that I really shouldn't hate humans as a whole, and to me, some of them might even have become an important friend. By no means......did I consider not being happy about this」
