episode_0555

The fairies didn’t know why, when, or how they woke up. Just as they did not know why flower buds bloomed on their own in spring, they also did not know why they woke up from what should have been an eternal sleep.

-I wanted to sleep more.

– Because the dream was happy.

– The dream was happier.

– Lots of nice flowers.

– Lots of fun stuff!

However, one thing that could be confirmed was that they were clearly fairies.

Even if the beautiful appearance it once had is gone. Even if I lost my voice that naturally blended with the spring breeze. Even if I no longer receive the love of nature. They were still mischievous fairies, showing off the beautiful sights of dreams.

“I see.”

Fabi, who summarized the fairies’ arbitrary story as if she was familiar with it, shook her head and smiled again.

“Then it’s a different question.”

However, the fairies’ attitude was different from before. In front of Fabi’s bright smile, the cooperative appearance disappeared everywhere and everyone folded their arms resembling bugs.

– Now it’s our turn to talk!

– that’s right! Take turns asking questions!

– Are you a genius?

– I’m a genius?!

“That’s right. It wasn’t polite. Fairies, everyone. Please ask me anything.”

– Why did you come to the forest?

– Nothing fun here!

– It’s boring and dark.

– that’s right. It’s too dark.

Faby thought for a moment among the chattering fairies and complaining about the forest, then opened her mouth with a bright smile.

“I came to see you all.”

– we?

– Us?

– why?

“Do you need a reason to come see something you like?”

It was a sloppy remark that would have made most people frown, wondering if they were talking nonsense, but Faby’s answer worked well for the weak-brained fairy.

The fairies’ laughter, which was more horrifying than the sound made when scraping iron, proved him.

– good?

– Is it good?

– Is it good?

– Then let’s play!

-What do you want to do?

– what should we do?

-What should we play?

However, what they liked was not the optimal choice.

‘Please speak.’

…The surprise attack that hit us just now was a joke?

If it had been other kids, wouldn’t it have been an attack that would have killed them instantly?

This is what happens when a being with great power loses its brain.

‘I roughly understood it.’

I pulled back Fabi’s shoulder, who was having trouble answering. The gaze of the fairies pouring down from the tree was not pretty.

I heard you like pretty things, but aren’t you just looking at appearances like a stupid fox? From my point of view, it is rather fortunate.

If things that looked more disgusting than bugs followed me around like a pervert, I would have got goosebumps all over my body.

“Is there anything special about this game that you guys who are dumber than goblins can play? It’s like playing tag.”

– We’re not stupid!

– We know more!

– Isn’t it fun to play tag?

– It’s fun, though.

– hey!

– Anyway, I hate it! Something else!

You can tell just by looking at the atmosphere. It’s not that I don’t want to play tag, it’s that I just don’t like the idea of what I suggested because it seems obnoxious.

“Hmm♡ You’re not confident?♡”

So I smiled as if showing off.

“Aren’t you scared because it’s obvious that you’ll lose to a subject you’ve spent your whole life living in a forest that would make even the devils of hell vomit?♡ Wow♡ That’s a bug-like idea♡”

– Absolutely not!

– it’s annoying!

– I do not like you!

– On the topic of little kids!

“You can do it if you’re confident, right?♡ You’re not going to lose to a kid like me anyway, right?♡ Right?♡ Huh?♡”

– Win!

– I won’t lose to someone like you!

– Come on!

The fairies fell for my provocation very easily and dispersed here and there, swearing like kindergarteners would.

that’s interesting. When I first met him, he looked so strange that I thought he would attack me at any time.

Contrary to expectations, they were idiots below the level of children, so it was easy to deal with them.

“Did you defeat the fairies with this?”

“Yes. I worked for an incompetent prince who could only watch from behind. I’m so happy to see you talking nonsense.”

“I’m sorry about that.”

We passed the area where the fairy was blocking until just a moment ago, and soon arrived at the destination we were aiming for.

Near the barrier that sealed the fairy forest. The energy of the evil spirit can be seen swirling beyond the barrier created by Erginus.

The energy that had lost its owner a long time ago and was repeatedly eroding according to the orders he left behind looked as bizarre as the approaching darkness that was eating up the sunset.

“Are you interfering there?”

“…Erginus said that there will be no danger even if you touch the barrier. So it will be okay.”

Joey spoke as if he was promising himself, but his hands were actually shaking. Even I, who am used to facing the energy of evil spirits, feel uncomfortable.

It is clear what it would look like from the perspective of Joy, who has no divinity whatsoever.

If I leave it like that, I think I’ll definitely make a mistake. How can I reassure you?

ah. there is.

“Lucy?”

I answered Joy’s answer with a smile and held her hand with both hands.

And I prayed for her.

I was used to praying because I prayed to the God of Heojeop every morning to increase my minor abilities.

What’s the big deal about prayer?

Just give me a quick compliment to God for praying to him. Thank you once again. Talk about what you want. Just say thank you again and you’re done.

A proper priest would make this incredibly refined and noble, but even though I am an apostle of the main god, I am half a priest.

Roughly speaking, the great Lord. Please take good care of my friend. If you don’t do it right, I won’t pray from tomorrow. That should be enough.

After finishing the prayer, I opened my eyes, and I saw Joey’s eyes looking at me blankly, I saw Fabi barely holding back her tears, I saw Frey with strange eyes, I saw Carl shaking his head as if it was just me, and I saw Arthur quickly turning his head. It seemed.

Why is he saying that again?

I tilted my head, and after a while, I took my gaze away from him, who didn’t even think about tilting his head, and looked at Joy again.

“I’ve done this for you, so you won’t be foolish. Idiot.”

“Who do you think you are? I’m a genius wizard who learned from you?”

“Hmm. Really?”

Joy’s hands were still shaking slightly, but her eyes were different. She no longer avoided the darkness within the barrier.

“3Prince. Can you help me draw the magic circle?”

“What should I do?”

Joey, who was already well beyond the student level, completed the magic circle in an instant with Arthur’s help.

“Phew. Let’s get started.”

As she let out a long breath and breathed magic power into the magic circle, numerous pictures appeared around her.

The magic in the air had a more abstract appearance than the magic I knew, but strangely enough, the meaning contained in it was clearer.

I know little about magic, but this one is different. I don’t know why, but I feel like I know what each magic circle means.

Joy’s right side is communication. What is right next to Sotong is silence. block. silence. control. and.

“…Huh?”

It was amazing that I could see Joy’s magic, which I barely understood, and as I was concentrating, the surrounding scenery suddenly turned black.

‘grandfather.’

The fact that I don’t get an answer means that my mind has been hijacked by someone else.

This is fucked.

My current resistance to magic is far beyond that of a decent knight.

There is also a blessing from the stupid fox. Because there is also a divinity that is always surrounding us. Even if I lose my mind, I rarely feel so helpless.

So, the person who invited me to this place is someone who is of a different level from the person I am now. Someone who should be underground or in the sky, not on the ground. Or someone who is infinitely close to him.

“Hello.”

The moment a voice rings in my ear, the world that had been stained with darkness regains light.

Dry land. A tree that has rotted and turned into a bizarre shape. The scent of mold passes by your nose. Not the darkness of dawn, but the darkness of a cave.

“The Lord gives love.”

As I scanned the surroundings and turned my head to the back, I saw a woman sitting on a tree stump.

Her face was divided into several parts. The area around the forehead is transparent black, as if it has been consumed by darkness. The right side is wrinkled like a grandmother. And the remaining part is its original appearance.

“I’m sorry for inviting you in this way. But please understand that I had no other option than this.”

I knew her. To be precise, I knew her from the past.

A man who laments his incompetence and uses every means at his disposal to protect the forest, but is even willing to throw his life away for a girl.

“The introduction was late. I am the one who was once called the Queen of Fairies. And now he has become so helpless that he cannot even distinguish between dreams and reality.”

The woman blushed when she heard the word “chicken coop.”

“ unconsciousness? Self-conscious? Powder? It’s probably something like that, so please be comfortable with it. The Fairy Queen, who cannot wake up from her happy dream, will not remember this conversation.”

It was a powder of

…Powder? What is that?

The woman in front of me opened her eyes wide, probably because she saw the doubt on my face, then smiled for a while and let out a loose voice.

“The Fairy Queen is closer to a god than a living creature. It is common for the mental body to disperse when its mind is unstable.”

“There’s a lot of useless knowledge. Chicken house lady. If I ferment it until it smells musty, will it improve my hair?”

“…Yes?”
