“found.”
It’s been ten minutes since we moved forward in search of Fairy’s habitat.
In a cluster of unknown purple flowers in full bloom, we found a fairy emitting a bright light and immediately lowered our posture.
The fairy, which has wings similar to those of a butterfly, sprinkles mysteriously colored powder every time it flaps its wings. The identity of the powder is pollen.
I don’t know why, but Fairy really likes flowers.
So, they usually chose places where many flowers bloomed as their nests, but because they used flower fields as their nests, their wings were always covered in pollen.
That powder is said to be a trace of a fairy and is considered a symbol of good luck and is sold at a high price.
Of course, it was just on Fairy’s body, and since the pollen itself had no effect, it had no effect.
“… It’s pretty. Now that I think about killing him, I feel a little guilty.”
“If you knew the nature of those guys, you wouldn’t say things like that, right?”
People often make the mistake of thinking that they look like something out of a fairy tale, but contrary to what they seem, fairies have a very nasty temperament.
He uses magic to force beings weaker than himself into jumping off cliffs or lakesides.
He pretended to be friendly to adventurers he came across and lured them in, sending them to the habitat of dangerous monsters.
“… Why do you do that?”
“I’m just kidding.”
There is no good will, but there is also no malice.
Just as a child tears off a dragonfly’s wing or tramples an ant for fun, fairies kill humans for fun.
I know it’s ridiculous to impose human morality on an outsider, but by my standards, it seemed bad quality even though there was no malicious intent.
“How about it? Has the guilt faded a bit now?”
“… Uh, just think of it as a cute devil.”
“What a cute devil… .”
It was such an appropriate metaphor that I burst out laughing a little without realizing it.
“Then let’s begin.”
“Yes.”
Activating a skill and killing any sign of sight, Sarah placed a night lark on top of her head and crawled forward through the flower field to stand behind Fairy.
It would be okay for Sera to snipe Fairy from behind like this, but considering that she cannot be defeated in one go or the attack misses, it is not possible.
Since Fairy freely uses advanced magic, her magic has a wide range, so even if she throws a moderate amount of magic, it will still reach Sera.
Of course, since Sarah was given various defensive magic, she will not die from a single magic hit, but we cannot be optimistic.
I stood up, brushed off the dust and pollen from my body, and caught his attention with a rock cannon.
The rock cannon was placed in a completely wrong place, but it was enough to attract Fairy’s attention.
Fairy tilted her head and turned around, looked at me, and smiled an eerie smile that sent goosebumps all over her body.
It was a smile that seemed to say he had found a new toy.
[Hehehe!! Let’s play! Let’s play!!]
Fairy’s head was raised with both hands raised high as if holding up the sky, and a compressed flame that had gathered all the surrounding heat began to flutter in the form of a sphere.
“Baby… ! Summon intermediate level demons.”
I immediately responded by summoning a demonic beast, and a sphere of flame condensed to the limit flew in a parabolic curve.
Almost immediately upon impact, the sphere of flame that gave off an intense light did not explode and disappeared as if it had never been there in the first place.
Mac (貘) eating yam.
This animal, which looks like a baby elephant’s head attached to a hairy rhinoceros-like body, eats magic.
Of course, there is a limit to the amount you can eat, and if you exceed that limit, the absorbed magic explodes in your body, leading to death, but this time, there was no need to worry about that.
“Bound of the Earth.”
The tree trunk rising from the ground surrounds Mac’s body.
“The flower of absorption.”
Immediately after activating a new spell again, blue flowers instantly begin to bloom from the tree trunk surrounding Mac’s body.
Absorbing Flower is a magic that makes a flower bloom by absorbing mana from the body of a target bound by earth bindings.
No matter how much magic Mac absorbed, it was safe to assume that Mac would not self-destruct since it could be removed immediately with this magic.
Fairy, whether aware of this or not, lashed out and threw her magic even more fiercely.
However, each time, a new flower bloomed, and no matter how much magic was used, Mac’s limits were never reached.
[Not funny!!! Not funny!!!]
When the evil Fairy points her hand forward to cast magic once again.
A night lark flew like an arrow from behind and pierced the fairy’s neck with its magically strengthened beak.
Fairy, who had been pierced through the neck, staggered like a hit helicopter, spinning several times in the air before crashing to the ground.
Sera and I immediately got up, waited enough time for Fairy to die, and then went to the spot where Fairy fell.
Unfortunately, the tail broke when it fell to the ground, so it could not be used as a race conversion item.
“This… .”
“It looks like it fell from a bit high. It’s okay, there’s still plenty of habitat.”
After that, we moved to another location and repeated the same thing as before.
Later, as if Sarah had gotten used to it, she found the Fairy before me and skillfully crawled forward, moving behind the Fairy and sending a signal to me.
Three days passed and Sarah reached level 30 and mine reached level 37.
-bang!!
With the sound of the 32nd fairy’s head flying off, we finally obtained the fairy’s tail.
******
“… Hey, are you really eating this?”
After obtaining the fairy tail, we returned to the model garden and had a small celebration party with special food that could only be tasted here.
Even Sarah, the daughter of a noble family, looked at the bonfire with anxious eyes, as if she was unfamiliar with this kind of food.
“It’s okay! This is different from how it looks, but it’s really delicious!!”
“… Is that really true?”
Perhaps because they lived not only in Sera but also in the Udo grassland, they did not seem to welcome this delicacy full of the blessings of the forest.
When the meat was properly cooked, I commanded the fire spirit to lower the intensity of the fire and handed the two best-cooked fairy skewers to the two people.
However, the two people only glanced at each other and did not take the fairy skewer, as if telling them to take it first.
“… This is really delicious.”
I bit into the Fairy’s body and ate the entire skewer in an instant, amazed by the taste.
Fairy lived on sweet fruits and honey made by bees, so the sweetness seeped deep into her flesh and bones, making the sweetness truly special.
Moreover, the meat was so soft that it melted like snow the moment it touched the tongue, and the bones were so crispy that it felt like chewing on batter.
“I worked hard to make it, but if you don’t want to eat it, I won’t force you… .”
When they lowered their heads and pretended to be pitiful, both of them picked up the skewers one by one with a confused expression, as if their conscience had pricked them.
“… No, I didn’t say I wouldn’t eat it.”
“Seeing your sincerity, I will let you eat one.”
Operation successful.
The two people who bit into the fairy skewers quickly emptied the entire skewer with a look of confusion on their faces and then dropped the empty skewer.
“… Why is this so delicious?”
“… This is ridiculous.”
“Hee hee! Look! Did I say it was delicious?”
The two people seemed to think that once or twice was no different, and from then on, they started eating fairy skewers without hesitation.
The giant wasps also noticed and ate the fairy skewers I threw to them, and they all made a fuss, saying they were delicious.
“But felt. How did you end up eating Fairy? Normally I wouldn’t even think about eating it. Have you ever been that hungry?”
“Are you hungry? I just ate this because I was curious about what the effect would be if I cooked it and ate it?”
“… What?”
“There are fruits in the world like yata fruit that temporarily increase your strength when eaten.”
Just like that, I only tried cooking Fairy because I wanted to see if it would have a special effect.
There was a cooking system in the original game, but fairies could not be used as cooking ingredients, so I tried cooking them thinking it was new content.
Unfortunately, Fairy meat had no special effects, but that didn’t mean there was no harvest.
“Thanks to that experiment, you learned that fairy meat is very delicious, right?”
“… You’ve never eaten human flesh, right?”
“Sera, what on earth do you think of me that you say like that?”
Human flesh was not tested because it could be used as a cooking ingredient in the original game.
Even if that weren’t the case, he would never have touched human flesh.
maybe.
When we ran out of fairy skewers, after a small banquet, we got up and prepared to obtain the next goal, the Insect Queen’s Scepter.
Actually, even though it was preparation, it wasn’t a big deal.
Because Wu was a martial artist, there was no need to spend time preparing weapons, and since my sword was nothing more than a decoration, there was no need to prepare it either.
“I’m sorry Sarah, but please stay here and wait.”
“… Yes, with my current skills, it will only be a hindrance in the dungeon.”
After giving words of comfort to Sarah, I walked to Woo’s side, and Sarah’s intense gaze, as if telling me that I was lonely, was fixed on the back of my head.
When I tried to look back one last time, Woo grabbed my shoulder and urged me to go.
“… Milk boy.”
Trying not to notice the low voice coming from behind, I approached Hornet one last time before leaving.
[…] Felt.]
“Are you mentally prepared?”
[It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel anything now. However, I have no intention of refusing my duty as Felt’s servant and as the queen in charge of a kingdom. and… .]
While Wu nodded that it was a good answer, Hornet slowly turned his head and looked at Miella, whose race had changed to a fairy.
“Wow~!! master!! This body is the best!! Now you can say goodbye to the worry of being stepped on to death or drowned in raindrops!!”
Miella seemed to like her new body so much that she even cheered and flew around.
Her compatriots were so happy to have turned from a simple bee to a fairy that their smiles never faded.
[…] When I look at that guy, I feel a little foolish for worrying.]
“Yes, I think positively. Wouldn’t it be nice for you to become stronger?”
[…] yes. Then, Felt, I will wait here and wish you good luck.]
