"It really was that guy's doing! (Shakart)"
"Your Majesty, since the floating island is headed straight for us, it means His Majesty the King and the others have failed to stop it. We must hurry! (Elder A)"
"Yes, Your Majesty! (Elder One)"
"In that case, we can only proceed with the backup plan!"
Hearing the elders' conversation with the queen, Black Meow Meow instantly calmed down.
"Nadi!"
"At your service!"
"Gather everyone at the central plaza immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Guards!"
"At your service!"
"Notify Noya and the Royal Guard Corps to stand by at the border immediately!"
"Yes!"
After Nadi and the guard left, Her Majesty the queen turned around and said with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, Sherry. I'm afraid there's no time to help you unravel the doubts in your heart!"
"It's all right!"
"How can it be all right? If Sherry regains her magic power, she can not only support Wendy, but also help Aunt Shakart and the others fight the floating island! (Happy, frantic with anxiety)"
"Happy, what your friend wants to know isn't how to restore her magic power!"
"Huh???"
"Buzz!"
Seeing the white wings emerge behind Byakko, the astonishment on Blue Meow Meow's face deepened.
"Sherry, you... you..."
"If I'm not mistaken, her magic power should have returned not long after you two reunited."
"Really?"
"That's right!"
"Then..."
"Haven't I told you? You've never understood yourself!"
At those words, Blue Meow Meow's expression instantly darkened.
"Hm?!"
The moment Happy looked up, Her Majesty the queen, who was rubbing his head, said gently, "This has nothing to do with Happy. It's between Sherry and me, so there's no need for you to be upset."
"Really?"
"Mhm!"
"Do you still have time to waste here?"
The instant those words fell, Byakko had already vanished through the palace
