Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Author: Aspiring to become a Type-Moon powerhouse

Introduction:

A dream of encountering a blonde princess changes Fujimaru Ritsuka.

That was a girl who called herself "Star Brain: Archetype: Earth".

When she woke up from the dream, Fujimaru Ritsuka found herself transformed into her likeness.

Bearing this extraordinary and unique encounter and destiny, the girl fatefully became the Master of Chaldea.

Grand Temple of Time

"Step back, Mashu, let me do it."

The blonde girl, resembling a humanoid missile, faced the Demon King who wanted to rewind to the beginning of Earth, tearing the ground of the Grand Temple of Time apart with a single claw.

Her body began to slowly transform into starlight, her shimmering form facing the despair of human evil.

"Let me crush your trampling of human will, Goetia!"

Chapter 1 The Girl Who Became a Planetary Dream

What am I doing?

It's like a dream world.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's consciousness floated in a world radiating a pale blue halo, where aimless dark clouds drifted slowly across the sky, and a huge full moon rose from the horizon.

This is where?

The enchanting fragrance that wafts towards you brings a gentle, tranquil glow to your heart. In this fairyland-like world, you see a castle.

Yes, it's a castle.

A Gothic castle stands before you, its spires piercing the clouds. Mysterious vines climb the walls, emitting a faint blue glow that perfectly complements the surrounding dreamlike atmosphere.

Humanity is extinct. The voice rang out, attracting the attention of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Such humorous and strange tales are often mentioned, but Fujimaru Ritsuka has never believed in the idea of ​​human extinction.

The sudden sound beside her made Fujimaru Ritsuka almost laugh; it was as absurd as hearing the Mayan prophecy of the 2012 apocalypse.

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head.

Do you think this is a fantasy? Well, after all, humans are indeed such creatures—impoverished in mind, weak in body, and utterly vulnerable in the face of the great power of nature.

Her long golden hair swayed slowly in the darkness, her pure white gauze dress was wrapped with blue ribbons, and her cool gaze was fixed on Ritsuka Fujiman, as calm as the moonlight.

princess.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka first saw this girl, she felt as if she had seen a real princess.

She was noble and elegant, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

Beautiful, yet cruel, stories of beautiful princesses from fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White floated through Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind, but no matter how she compared them, none could compare to the light and ethereal blonde girl with red eyes.

"Who are you—?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked.

“I have no name. You can think of me as a natural phenomenon, or a spirit of nature,” the girl replied.

“No name…” Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted her teeth.

"What's wrong?" the blonde girl asked.

"It's nothing. I probably can't understand nature spirits and such... but it's really pitiful that they don't have names."

"Pity me?"

"Yes." Fujimaru Ritsuka did not look away, but looked at the other person with a frank gaze.

"I can't understand it. A name is just a label. Why should I, a unique individual, be pitied?"

"No, a name is not just a label, but also represents the parents' expectations for their offspring and what kind of people they hope they will become."

Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up a bouquet of flowers from the ground and handed it to the blonde girl: "Just like the pollen contained in each of these flowers, they will carry the hopes of the flowers and drift on the wind to their own destination."

""

The blonde girl seemed lost in thought.

"Pollen is the male gamete of a plant, while the flower is the sexual organ. Your analogy is incorrect."

""

Her serious answer left Fujimaru Ritsuka stunned for a moment, instantly shattering the dreamlike atmosphere.

This is so embarrassing.

However, the blonde girl in front of her didn't realize that she was ruining the atmosphere. Instead, she closed her eyes and began to think seriously.

Fujimaru Ritsuka sensed that she seemed to be genuinely contemplating the issue of sexual energy.

"The expectations our ancestors had for their descendants... Human, what do you think my name should be?"

She quickly grasped the concept of a "name" and then asked Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“Princess,” Fujimaru Ritsuka answered without hesitation.

Indeed, the word "Hime" instantly popped into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind, so she answered without hesitation.

"Hmm... Princess, I see. In your eyes, I am like a sheltered young lady, and that impression is indeed correct, as I have been here for quite some time." The princess expressed her understanding and agreement with the other party's words.

"My true identity is the Star Brain... one of the Primal Ones who possesses the power of Gaia, which is similar to the Ultimate One."

"Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. I have heard of UltraMan, though," Fujimaru Ritsuka said after thinking for a moment, puzzled.

To my shame, when the word "Gaia" is mentioned, the first image that comes to Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind is a red giant of light falling from the sky, which comes from the tokusatsu films she often watched in TV dramas when she was a child.

“UltraMan, what is that?” the blonde princess asked.

"Ah, actually it's a tokusatsu film... It tells the story of how the Earth's will bestows light upon humanity, transforming them into giants to protect the Earth. I'll tell you about it if I have the chance."

"It's too much trouble, I'd rather do it myself."

The blonde princess raised her smooth, snow-white arm and gently brushed it across Fujimaru Ritsuka's forehead, leaving behind a delicate fragrance.

"?" Fujimaru Ritsuka felt the lingering warmth of the blonde princess's hand on her forehead.

What exactly did she do?

At this moment, the princess seems to be browsing through the memories in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.

Humans really dare to dream. The Giant of Light, a strange Earth consciousness, will help humanity?

The conflict between the ocean, the environment, and humanity

A struggle between beings of light.

Together, they will face the evolution brought about by the Destruction Entity and fight against the star invaders from outer space.

However, isn't humanity's perception of Earth's will somewhat violent? That kind of slamming and throwing might be considered rather inelegant.

Or does merging with humans cause one to become irritable?

And then there's the final will of humanity and the planet, transformed into light that coalesces anew—it's all so beautiful, like a fairy tale.

Golden-haired Princess initially found it incomprehensible how the planet's will could protect humanity, and what the point of such actions was.

It's utterly incomprehensible and nonsensical logic.

They are merely weak creatures living on the surface of the planet's skin; their life and death have nothing to do with the planet itself.

But in the end...

She felt a pang of regret for the fallen humans; seeing everyone struggling to face the final battle, she also hoped that humanity could defeat the immense evil.

I hope to see that intriguing brilliance again, so that my once calm and undisturbed heart will be stirred by the sight of a stone thrown into it.

So she came to a conclusion.

Humans are strange, just like the person in front of me, very strange.

But incredibly, she developed a slight interest in humans.

The union of a planet's will with humanity was, to her, a complete fantasy.

But... perhaps she could give it a try? She had never understood humans before, nor had she seen many. Perhaps now was a good time to give it a shot. If she could really succeed, would her surroundings, her thoughts, her will... be different from before? That would certainly be worth a try.

Through the eyes of the people before us, we can understand real humanity and develop a deeply empathetic heart.

"Then give it a try."

The blonde princess closed her eyes and made a decision.

"Try?"

"Well, it's decided."

The primordial elf spoke in a simple yet unquestionable tone, as if it were all a matter of course: "This is the inner sea of ​​a star woven from dreams and fairy tales, where the human culture you speak of does not exist. However, since it is the culture and customs of the current surface-level intelligent life forms, it is still necessary to understand them. Well, for this—offer me your life, consciousness, and body as tribute."

She decided to try to emulate the so-called "Ultraman Gaia" and attach her star breath to the humans in front of her.

This will change the characteristics of the humans in front of us.

At the same time, it also allows her to experience the cultural diversity of the human world and the shining brilliance of indomitable will through the people in front of her.

She gently touched Fujimaru Ritsuka's forehead, her elegant body merging into Fujimaru Ritsuka's body like a ball of light.

"what happened?"

""

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt warmth throughout her body.

It was as if I was enveloped in a soft light.

As the princess merged with her, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt as if her consciousness had been swept up in a gentle storm.

A variety of wonderful sensations intertwined within my body, making me feel both light and heavy, as if I were carrying the weight of two souls.

Then, this dreamlike blue-purple world began to slowly disappear, and the entire space collapsed as if it had been deconstructed.

This wonderful feeling lasted only a moment.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's foot slipped, as if she had missed a step on the stairs and fallen into an endless abyss.

The dreamlike consciousness plunged into endless darkness, from which even light could not escape.

This is normal; Fujimaru Ritsuka always dreams of strange scenes and places.

For example, medieval plains, ancient battlefields, a wild world, fairytale castles... this dream is no different from any other dream.

There's absolutely no need to worry, because dreaming about these things while sleeping is very common.

This is how it's been for many years.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was used to having these kinds of incredible dreams.

"Ah~~ha!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up from her sleep.

Wiping the sweat from his head caused by the dream, he habitually stretched and relaxed his body.

Recalling the dream that seemed both fantastical and real, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing. Who would actually take a sleeping princess seriously? It was merely a figment of the subconscious mind. However, on the other hand, it was indeed too tragic for a "princess" to be unable to leave her castle, to lack her own name and freedom.

Fujimaru Ritsuka had the idea of ​​bringing the other person out, but at the same time, she felt an unprecedented sense of regret.

After all, that doesn't seem to be a real person.

How could the Earth possibly have consciousness? And even if it did, how could it possibly come to see an ordinary young student like myself?

It was identified as a teenage fantasy, like Rikka Takanashi in the anime, immersing herself in the world of the Evil Eye.

But after waking up, you still have to face one challenge after another that life throws at you, such as studying, working, dating, and so on. Not everyone can have a future like a winner in life. You really have to work hard yourself.

— Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived at the washroom.

Washing up and taking a morning shower in the student dormitory are tasks that must be completed before going to school at 8 a.m.

Facing the mirror in front of the sink, Fujimaru Ritsuka habitually picked up her toothbrush and then looked up.
