Chapter 2: About the Subordinates
Fiona of the Clear Stream. The true identity of the Water Fairy Princess is a girl who has just become a first-year high school student this year.
Sayuki Kannazuki had been attracting attention since the beginning of school.
With her glossy long black hair and a delicate figure that looked like it might break if embraced, combined with her modest personality, she was the object of admiration for the boys as a rare, pure and beautiful girl of this day and age.
“Hey, Kannazuki.”
“Yes? Is something the matter?”
“We’re going to karaoke with some classmates today. Want to come?”
“I’m sorry. I have some errands to run…”
After school, as Sayuki was preparing to go home, a popular handsome guy from the soccer club approached her.
Contrary to others’ perception of her, Sayuki has a stubborn and strong-willed side. She politely declined while being vague to avoid conflict, and quickly headed home.
She usually declines invitations as she doesn’t have close friends in class.
In fact, she hardly has any friends at all.
The only ones she could call friends were Akane Yuuki, Moe Asahi, her senior Eiko Kutani, and the fairy she met when she was in elementary school.
Sayuki’s father is the CEO of a nationwide department store chain.
Thanks to this, her family was wealthy, but there were always many people trying to get close to her father for their own benefit. This is probably why Sayuki was introverted from a young age.
She thought that people who approached her and classmates who called themselves friends were only interested in her family’s money. This cynical child one day encountered a mysterious light that had slipped into the garden.
That was Liza, the fairy of moonlight. A girl small enough to fit in the palm of her hand, who came from somewhere else.
“I am Liza, the fairy of moonlight. What’s your name?”
[I’m Sayuki Kannazuki.]
“You look very lonely. What’s wrong?”
[I’m… always alone.]
Her parents were busy. She had no friends. During long holidays, she always stayed cooped up at home.
“Then let’s be friends.”
[…Is that okay?]
A mysterious creature she had never seen before. But she didn’t feel scared.
Liza was the only one who had reached out to her.

They had been together for many years, but when Sayuki was in her second year of middle school, an evil organization calling itself Delnkeim Spiritual Society began its invasion of Japan.
At first, Liza tried to leave the house immediately.
“They are terrifying. They are those who trample over all enemies and move forward…”
Delnkeim , she said, had no qualms about capturing and selling fairies in the past. The invasion of Japan was no joke, and if left unchecked, it would likely lead to a tragic end.
The police and Self-Defense Forces responded but couldn’t stop the mysterious beings. At this rate, Japan would be in big trouble. Wouldn’t Liza be captured too?
[Hey Liza, what should I do?]
“I am a moonlight fairy. I can give you my blessing. But you don’t need to fight.”
Although Sayuki had long been without friends, her heart was kind. She also had a goodness that couldn’t ignore others suffering.
However, she didn’t think about becoming a hero of justice.
A fist thrust out to help someone would surely hurt someone else too. Even if the feelings were pure at first, there might come a time when one becomes drunk with power. It might sound good to call her a heroine who fights while hesitating, but in reality, there would surely be lives lost because of slight hesitations.
The reason she decided to fight, to stop Delnkeim , wasn’t out of humanitarianism or a sense of justice.
Liza was troubled, she looked sad. Sayuki Kannazuki’s motive was very simple.
[If there’s anything I can do, I want to do it. I don’t want to see my friend scared.]
Liza, the moonlight fairy, was worried about Delnkeim ‘s attack.
So she had to help. For the sake of her first friend who had reached out to her when she was a child curled up in loneliness.
This is how Sayuki Kannazuki chose the path of fighting Delnkeim as Fiona of the Clear Stream.
By that time, it wasn’t just for her friend anymore. Unable to abandon crying children before her eyes, she was moving forward with her own heart.
And now, as a first-year high school student, Sayuki is feeling perplexed once again.
It’s about a man called Harvied… who claims to be the deputy executive of Delnkeim .
“He was a normal human.”
She had had opportunities to fight Delnkeim ‘s combat personnel before.
However, they were equipped with special masks, making their expressions invisible. Although she had been fighting since middle school, this was the first time she had directly conversed with a person from Delnkeim .
Harvied was surprisingly handsome, and at first glance, he gave an extremely cold impression. However, when talking about his friends, he showed a warm smile. He probably wasn’t the typical villain who mocks others.
At the same time, Sayuki intuitively understood.
There was something slightly off about the way that man looked at the Fairies. It seemed like he had some kind of scheme.
“…It will be difficult for Akane to fight.”
Akane Yuuki… Eres of the Pure Flame is a kind girl, so she’ll surely hesitate to raise her fist against Harvied. Moe Hana’s Lurun, who originally has an aversion to fighting, is the same.
So Sayuki makes a decision.
If she ever encounters that man again, the one to defeat him will be—
