Part 5
When they returned to the village and told the islanders about the alien beast, they were stunned.
“What did you say? The eruption of Mount Aurea was the work of a beast from another planet…!”
“B-but we don’t have the strength to fight this alien beast…”
The sudden revelation of the truth left the crowd stunned.
In the midst of it all, Lexia raised her voice.
“Don’t worry, leave it to us!”
“T-to you girls…!”
“Yes, that’s right. After all, we saved three countries!”
“W-what?”
“Such a sweet little girl, you can’t possibly be…!”
Giselle opened her mouth to the islanders, who reacted naturally.
“What Lexia-san and the others are saying is true. Lexia-san and the others defeated Kaiser Fang in the jungle ruins.”
“Eeeehhhhhhh!?”
A loud sound came from the crowd.
“That Kaiser Fang? How in the world did you…!”
“No one has ever gone into that jungle and come out alive before!”
Receiving a look of astonishment, Lexia reaches into her pocket.
“We went into those jungle ruins and came out alive… Here’s the proof!”
What was pulled out was a necklace of large gems and pearls.
The islanders opened their eyes.
“T-this is…!”
“I’ve never seen jewelry like this…!”
“The ruins were filled with treasure stolen by pirates. This is only a small part of it.”
“There is a cave in the cliffs to the west that leads to the ruins. You can take a boat there if you wish.”
“Please let us help you protect this island!”
“E-eehhhhh…!”
“T-that’s amazing, what is it…!”
The islanders’ eyes rolled as they looked at the treasure Lexia had given them.
“B-but, is it okay… it was originally stolen from somewhere by pirates, right?”
“Ara, all the countries back then were destroyed. If this treasure is found here, it will become a source of strife among the nations. It is best to use it for the good of the island.”
The people looked at each other and bowed deeply before Lexia and the others.
“Oh, now we can keep Halwa in its natural beauty without being threatened by other countries…”
“And we can feed the children of the island with good food!”
“Thanks for the help, girls…!”
“Fufu, that’s great. Leave the alien beast to us! We’ll take care of it in no time!”
Lexia and the others waved to the grateful islanders and left the village.
The islanders looked at their dainty backs and muttered in dismay.
“But how could those cute girls have conquered not only the dangerous jungle, but also the ruins and defeated Kaiser Fang…!”
“And to reveal the existence of an alien beast… they might actually be able to defeat the beast and stop the eruption…”
“Then Giselle won’t have to be sacrificed either…! Oh, thank goodness…!”
“Maybe those girls are the saviors sent by the heavens…”
Unaware that they were being looked upon with such gratitude and respect, Lexia and the others headed for the beach in high spirits.
“Well, the battle will take place in the evening when the alien beast appears! Until then, let’s have fun and keep our energy up!”

As the sun shone in the middle of the sky, the four of them changed into their swimsuits and came back to the beach.
“We had a lot of fun in the sea yesterday, so let’s just relax and have fun on the beach today!”
Lying on canvas-covered beach chairs under a parasol, Lexia stretched out comfortably.
“Hahh, it’s great, isn’t it? I wish I could stay like this forever! Forget all the official business that’s piling up… ugh…”
“Lexia-san, would you like some fruit juice? The villagers brought us some a while ago.”
“Drink!”
“Fufu! Yes, here you go.”
Giselle cut out a hard fruit and handed it to Lexia.
She used a straw to drink the liquid inside.
“Mmm, it’s delicious! It’s slightly sweet and easy to drink! It’s strange to find liquid in such a big, hard fruit… Oh yes, that’s right! Now that I have it, I must try it! Hey Giselle, can I have some more of that fruit?”
“Yes, we have plenty, take as many as you like.”
Lexia took the new fruit and started to rummage through her luggage.
“? What are you doing, Lexia-san?”
“Oh, nothing, don’t worry!”
Lexia said and continued working on something.
Tito, on the other hand, was building a sand castle.
“Hmm, it’s difficult…”
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, Luna-san.”
When she realized, Luna was looking at her curiously.
“I want to make a good home for these children, but I can’t seem to get it right…”
Tiny crabs gathered at Tito’s feet.
They fidgeted around Tito, moving their claws around her.
Luna crossed her arms as she looked at the pile of sand Tito had made.
“Hmm. Is this different from making a snow hut?”
“Yes, the sand doesn’t harden easily…”
“Giselle might know how to do it.”
“What is it, you two?”
Just as they were talking, Giselle came over.
She smiled as she heard Tito’s story.
“Then… ‘O sand, form a little castle’!”
Giselle manipulated the sand and quickly created a magnificent castle.
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
The crabs were delighted as they entered and left the small castle.
“No matter how many times I see it, it’s still a mysterious power. Can you build a full-sized castle by any chance?”
“I’ve never done it before, but I think I could probably do it. Shall we give it a try?”
Giselle placed her hand on the beach and focused her attention.
The sand around her began to glow blue from the spirit art.
And then…
“O sand, become a giant castle!”
The sand began to move all at once.
And in an instant, a giant castle was formed.
“Eeeehhhh!”
“T-this is amazing…!”
“I-I didn’t think it could go this far either…”
They looked up at the huge tower and were horrified.
When they looked inside, they found that even the furniture and furnishings had been recreated.
“I-it’s amazing…! There are even vases and sofas!”
“It’s strong enough. Maybe it’s really livable?”
They looked at the building for a while, admiring it.
“Thank you, it’s all taken care of now.”
Giselle called into the sand, and instantly, the castle collapsed and returned to its original sandy beach.
Luna murmurs in admiration.
“Once again, you have amazing powers. The village chief told me that the more the spirit art is loved by nature, the stronger it becomes…”
“Giselle-san is very much loved by nature, isn’t she!”
Giselle beamed with joy.
At that moment, there was a small growling sound.
Tito held her stomach, and turned bright red.
“Awawawa!? Sorry, I got hungry after playing…!”
“Fufu. We also got some fruit earlier, so let’s all eat together.”
