From the shredded remains of Tyrant Dragon Rex, something shiny… the core stone was picked up by the giant Filolial Queen before she turned to face us.
“Sorry for the wait~!”
“…”
Yup, her voice itself is different, but she spoke in exactly the same manner as Filo. Any and all divinity that had been there a moment ago was just completely blown away.
“Big Filolial…?”
“Rather, it’s a giant Filo.”
“Hmm~?” The giant Filolial is looking at us while tilting her head. “Umm. Fitoria’s name is Fitoria.”
… No doubt about it. Her personality was almost exactly the same as Filo’s.
After the self-introductions, Fitoria took us to the Filolial Sanctuary.
I wondered if she would look exactly like Filo in her human form, but as expected, she looked different.
Their color was already different to begin with. However, they both wore the same dopey expression on their faces.
“So? What do you want from us?”
“Ummm, first of all, tell me what the current heroes have been doing~” I can’t feel any tension behind her words.
I explained why we were being chased by the Tyrant Dragon Rex, and why we were being chased under suspicion of kidnapping Melty. And I also talked about the relationship between the heroes.
After hearing everything… Fitoria replied with a sullen expression. “You know, Fitoria~ is told to bwooon the current heroes if they are doing something bad~ That’s why, fighting is a no no~!”
“What is a bwooon?”
“Hmm? Bwooon is Bwooon, you know~?”
“… Filo.”
“What~?”
They have the same personality, and are the same type of Filolial. Maybe she can understand the words of the Legendary Filolial.
“What is a bwooon?”
“Filo doesn’t know.”
“Isn’t she the same type as you!?”
Don’t use terms you can’t decipher! It was the same with magic, you said baaam back then, didn’t you!?
I got irritated, so I turned my attention to Raphtalia.
“Um… I don’t know.”
“Haaah…”
“Naofumi, leave it to me.” Melty raised her hand and took on the task.
Right. She was able to become friends with Filo. If it’s Melty, she might be able to do it.
“I’m counting on you.”
“Yeah. Um… Fitoria-san.”
“Call Fitoria, Fitoria~”
“Ah, yes. Fitoria-chan.”
“What~?”
“What is Bwooon? Please give me more details.”
“Okay, Mel-tan!”
“Hrmph…” Filo watches the exchange between Melty and Fitoria with a sullen expression.
“You know, bwooon is like fwoosh, then thud~ and then byoooon~!”
“What’s fwoosh? Also, is thud the sound of falling down?”
“You see, fwoosh is doing things like this to the heroes~” Fitoria horizontally cuts the air with her hand.
Seriously, is fwoosh just a sound effect? It’s not like I can’t understand her logic, but I can’t understand what she’s talking about without a proper explanation!
“Yeah. The thud part is correct~”
“What is byoooon?”
“You know~ When there’s no Waves, the world will go booom if Fitoria doesn’t fwoosh the heroes~! But when there’s no Waves, and Fitoria byoooons the heroes, it’ll─”
Yes. It’s already dark, but there’s no telling how long they’re going to take. It seems boring to just watch them in silence.
After that, Melty began to ask Fitoria questions little by little, just like when talking to Filo.
“Let’s see. Fitoria-chan seems to be saying that if the Four Holy Heroes are quarreling with each other, they’ll have to die for the sake of the world, so a new set of four can get summoned in their place.”
“Wow, what a barbaric thing to say with such a light-heated tone.”
“By the way, Naofumi, why are you cooking?”
“You made me wait too long.”
It took a considerable amount of time for Melty to translate Fitoria’s words. Meanwhile, I was getting bored and hungry, so I started cooking.
“So if the heroes do something bad, they’ll get bwoooned, right?”
“Right, right. In that case, I’d better prepare a feast for this child.”
It sounds like she’s going to do something dangerous, but if she’s the same as Filo on the inside, she should be weak against food.
She’s been glancing at my direction since a while ago, after all.
“Yay~”
Fitoria received food from me and devoured it together with Filo.
“Well then, shall we continue talking?”
“Hmm~? What were we talking about again~?”
“…”
Has… she completely forgotten?
After that, I explained what Melty was talking about, but in the end, Fitoria still couldn’t remember.
And so….
“Why are you even following me!?”
“Eeeh~?”
“Mmmph! Mel-chan is Filo’s friend!”
For some reason… Fitoria accompanied us. Well, an extremely strong Filolial is like having a thousand soldiers, but…
“Eeh~? But Mel-tan is Fitoria’s friend?”
“Filo is also Mel-chan’s friend!”
“Ahaha… Naofumi, help me…”
However, now it’s as though Filo has doubled, and it’s getting too damn noisy! Even Melty is getting tired!

Conclusion: We don’t need two Filos.
