The letter, as Kicho's brush set it down, read:

Kuroi Ookami-sama —

Your niece, the beloved Queen, and I were writing to you from the Yamato Shrine. We have been drawn into a series of events that has led to a direct confrontation with the demon lord Bel Vesperia, of the 9th Hell.

Bel has shown huge ambition to claim the mortal land. He tried once at our borderland of Droughtsburg, but was stopped by your niece.

Now he has fully revealed himself, and his hundred-thousand demon force, in central Yamato, and moves to claim the whole land.

Nobunaga-sama and Uesugi Kenshin-sama are holding the joint resistance against the demon army.

But there is a root cause of this problem that only the Queen and myself can deal with. We will be away for such a period of time—so the Gloucester Empire rests, as ever, on yours and Lysandra's shoulders.

Stay focused on dealing with Duke Brandy. I hope to bring you good news soon from our journey.

P.S. The remnant of Astonia has occupied Droughtsburg—and so we spotted your good friend the Grey Wizard returned and alive. The Queen's view is to leave them alone for now, unless bigger priorities are resolved.

P.S.2 The Queen said she loves you so much, and... she would bring you back a souvenir next time.

P.S.3 Lysandra... the Queen said... No.18 would be borrowed to you for a few more months. If she found him drained when returned, she would throw you into the sewer of the underground facility again. Humph.

— The Fairy Princess of Mino, Kicho.

At the third postscript Kicho's brush had slowed to a crawl, and she turned to give her sister a long, level look over the paper.

"Onee-san. This is a letter about a demonic invasion of a nation, and half of it is threats concerning Lysandra's treatment of a borrowed toy-boy."

"The priorities are in perfect order," said the Violet Witch serenely, taking another plum. "Wars end. Grudges are forever. Seal it."

Kicho exhaled through her nose, wrote Humph. with devastating calligraphic force, and set down the brush.
