[South Forest of the Celeste Kingdom]

Upon seeing Asagi descending from the sky with a group of angels surrounding her on guard, the survivors on the otherhand which consisted of 18 males,15 females, and 7 children which is all in all about 10 family, was then at awe towards their appearance which could be describe as mythical

Under the question that Asagi had posed on the survivors, the leading male that is most likely at its 30's on the other hand, which seemed to be an ill equipped adventurer with a ragged sword and leather armor, then bravely confronted Asagi and replied to her question

"Who... who are you people? Are you the bird folks? Beastmen? Why are you in the territory of the humans?"

Hearing his reply, Asagi then tilted her head in confusion for a little bit, before turning her gaze towards her own companions

Afterwards she then seemed to realize that the person infront of her must have mistaken her and her own group to be a flock of bird folks seemingly intruding the human territory's airspace

Upon realizing that Asagi then clapped her hand together knowingly as she quickly fixed the misunderstanding between her and the survivors

"Ah! You must think of us as some kind of beastmen which is categorized as bird folks right? After all it can't be helped seemingly you guys noticing our wings"

Hearing her answer the brave adventurer like person then seemed confused for a moment before clearing something up

"Think? Are you saying your not bird folks? Dont joke around! Only the bird folks are the species that have wings protruding at their backs, in fact many of them even possesses white wings like yours... well maybe not pure white, but its still white"

Hearing that information, Asagi then seemed to have understood that the bird folks have people who had white wings like them, even thought not common, its still part of their categorization

With that Asagi simply nodded at the person's conjecture as she replied

"Well clearly you've mistaken our race, were not bird folks which is categorized inside the beastmen circle, instead were completely different both in level of species and status... our race are angels not bird folks... it would really help if you guys kept that in mind"

Upon hearing that not only was the person who confronted Asagi was dumbfounded and surprised, but even the other people in the survivors group were also surprised by what Asagi had said

After all just like what Anna and Lloyd had declared, the angel race is nothing but pure myths and fantasy towards them, since not one of its people had actually saw an angel before

Due to that experience and added to the fact that there wasn't much proof of their existence, the angels were then regarded as mythical or made up fantasy like creatures which is only told to children so that they would behave properly

But as if to break the awkward silence around everyone in the vicinity, Gabriel then immediately called out to Asagi

"Your majesty! Its still unknown if the surface is safe, thus with that notion I advise that you should continue your chat with the survivors back in the castle"

At that Asagi nodded gently as if understanding Gabriel's worries and actioned everyone to depart back to the castle

Alongside that Asagi then faced the survivors as she said

"Its not safe here on the surface, so I advise everyone to come with us so that we can bring you to a safe place, after that we will have a proper talk about the subsequent events"

Hearing her suggestion everyone of the survivors then looked at each other in worry as they hesitated whether to take the helping hand of Asagi and her group or not

But upon seeing that the person that bravely talked to Asagi then asked

"Your taking us somewhere? How can we even trust you?"

With that question, it was then clear to everyone especially towards Asagi that they still have some kindof trust issue which prevented the other party to completely feel safe around them

Due to that Asagi adjusted her voice as she replied

"I know that you can't trust us yet! But we really need to go since this place isn't safe, better yet we also have some of the survivors from the seaside town with us in our place"

Upon hearing the word survivors of the seaside town, everyone on the other group of survivors was then shocked as they can't believe that there were still survivors aside from them

But since Asagi had told them of the possible survivors of their hometown, some of them then seemingly wanted to come along

With that Asagi then gave a final push so that everyone of the survivors would listen to her

"We can assure you that we will keep you safe! If that is not enough then you guys can kill me if I ever lied"

At that notion Gabriel naturally heard such words which causes him to react, but before he could refute back, Asagi had already raised her hand to silence him

Of course the other angel's were also alarmed by her claim, nevertheless they stayed silent upon noticing that Asagi had silenced Gabriel by a mere hand signal

Reaching out her hand Asagi then stated

"So will you trust us?"

Faced upon such a tenacious person, the adventurer like person then gave up upon seeing their side's situation and agreeingly agreed to Asagi's notion

Seeing him agree to her words, Asagi then commanded Michael through telepathy to send more angels down to the surface to fetch all of the survivors

After all Asagi did notice that the other group had exceeded their sides number, thus making it inconvenient for her

Soon after Michael then brought additional 20 more angels with him, as they carried all of the survivors back towards their castle in the sky

Just like that all of the survivors had then experienced the sensation of flying in the air as they were brought above the clouds

Whats more they were completely shocked to see a kingdom hidden with magic among the sea of clouds

Such a view was completely like a fantasy fairyland, with that they were then completely speechless by the sight of the kingdom until they arrived at the castle's front door and was led to the wide throne room

[Azure Kingdom, Sky Castle]

After arriving back at the castle, everyone of the survivors on the other hand was completely at awe at the presence of the white castle

In fact they were truly surprised by this mythically like castle that can only exist on myths and stories

For them just being able to see and experience going to this place, was like a distant dream for every children

The supposedly fictional race like angels were actually real and the supposedly fictional paradise also exist hidden from every people on the surface, if one were to ask them about their current feeling on this moment, all they could only say was totally impossible

With that like a stunned tourist, the group of survivors then slowly observed the interior of the throne room as Asagi herself seated at the throne chair, seemingly telling everyone that she was the ruler of such a paradise land

"Well we've arrived! Welcome to my territory, the Azure Kingdom... so if do tell... whats your impression of this place?"

As she asked that seemingly wanting some review from the group of survivors, the very person who confronted her on the surface on the other hand then stuttered for a bit as he slowly regained his composure

While looking in amazement in his surroundings, the adventurer like person then asked

"This is your castle? Your territory? This whole kingdom?"

Upon hearing that Asagi then replied

"Yes! Yes! And yes!"

"B-But how? Why has no one has ever discovered this place? I mean it is so big! How could it possibly just hid among the clouds that easily?"

At that question Asagi stuttered for a bit as she gave a wry smile at the current moment

After all she can't just tell them that she was actually from another world and this castle is something she just bought in a game, such an excuse was totally nonsense towards such people

In fact it wouldn't be strange if they would think of her as delusional if she ever spouted those words

Different from earth, this world doesn't seem to have knowledge of other worlds, cause of their meager imagination in the current era

Unlike the modern people who could imagine something impossible in just a snap, the people on this place on the other hand is completely differ from it, which is most likely due to their current culture and such

With that in her thoughts, Asagi then told them a reasonable explanation which is due to her magic

"The reason whybthis place hasn't been discovered yet by the humans on the surface is because this place is in a constant movement"

"Huh?"

Infront of the bewildered people, Asagi then further explained

"Basically this kingdom is in constant movement, which means it is moving from one place to another due to the power core at the very bottom of this kingdom, with that we can travel to different lands in different location without leaving our territory at all"

"...."

"Currently we are located right on top of the forest wherein we've found your group, but tomorrow or a few days later, we may be on a different location by then"

Upon hearing that the group of survivors was stunned for a second by Asagi's words, when she suddenly told them some more of the reason why they are hidden well

"Following that i also used my magic to completely turn my whole kingdom invisible from any naked eye below, in other words we are completely in stealth mode up here"

"By enveloping the whole kingdom into a dome, I was then able to hide it from any being that existed in this world, adding to the fact that I also applied illusion magic on top of its invisibility, we are literally look like a pack of huge clouds from outside of the invisibility cloaking dome"

"As for the magic residue... well only high level mages could see and recognize my illusion clearly"

With all of that answered the survivors were once again stunned as they couldn't utter another word on Asagi's explanation

Due to that the whole throne room was once again drowned on utter silence

Soon after the group of survivors then finally noticed the twins that were beside Gabriel as they realized that they seemed out of place from all of the angels around

With that the adventurer like person then muttered

"Are they the... survivors?"

Upon hearing that question, the twins then immediately hid behind Gabriel as Asagi replied

"Yes! They are the remaining survivors back at the seaside town, in fact it might be better to say that they were left behind in that monster infested area"

Hearing the word left behind, the adventurer like guy couldn't help but grimaced at that fact, as he realized the horrible experience that the twins must have experienced during their stay in the monster infested town

But upon seeing that the twins was literally safe and healthy under the protection of the angels around them, the adventurer like guy then slowly came forward as he knelt on both knee and begged Asagi

"My name is Darius! A veteran adventurer... seeing the twins well being, it seems like you people can be trusted..."

"So please! I beg you let us stay in this place, we have nowhere else to go, there are no nearby town nor village, safety is also out of the question, I can't protect everyone alone... so please I ask of you, will you please let us stay here"

Hearing Darius words, Asagi was then stunned for a bit before she had regained her composure, nevertheless that still didn't change the fact that she will make them her citizens as part of her plan to prosper her kingdom
