The first day of training my friends to prepare for the temptation of fairies. I seriously thought again that it would be better to go in alone.

Arthur spent more time sprawled on the ground than up, Frey’s movements to grab me weren’t as sharp as usual, Fabi was so absent-mindedly staring at me that she tended to forget what she was supposed to do, and even Carl was holding me back. Because I couldn’t look into the eyes properly, I repeatedly missed the movements.

Joey, who came to see us after Erginus’ teaching, was not much different from other idiots.

Her face was so red that even a fan could not cover it, and she could not even use magic properly in front of the fairy dance.

It’s obvious that if they go into the forest in this condition, it will be a mess. This is more of a hindrance than a real help!

I was doubtful that these poor people would get better after practicing for a few days, but my friends proved my doubts wrong with each passing day.

By the second day, he was able to look me in the eyes as if it was natural. On the third day, I was able to move as usual. On the fourth day, he was able to respond to the fairy’s dance and at the same time completely maintain the energy that was attracted to the armor’s function.

In particular, it was Arthur who showed the biggest change. At first, Heojeop stumbled every time I touched him, but after four days, he started to respond calmly even when I suddenly poked him.

Of course, it seemed like there was a limit to how much I could endure if I kept playing pranks, but that’s the same for other kids.

‘is that so? I think it’s still a bit clumsy.’

I was relieved after hearing my grandfather’s assurance and told my friends to rest before entering the forest.

Because you have to be in optimal condition when you go in there.

While we were preparing to enter the forest, those gathered near the fairy forest were preparing at a rapid pace.

Erginus taught Joy and succeeded in completely installing magic using Patran’s magic unit.

Other units were also neatly lined up in pre-determined positions.

The clergy of the church, led by Pavy, prepared for the worst with the sacred relics provided by the Count Artea family.

Dawn of the 6th day, when everything was ready. My friends and I gathered around dawn and headed toward the fairy forest again.

“The black energy seems to have become stronger than before.”

“3 What the prince feels is probably right. Because I think so too.”

“Is this the aftermath of the Fairy Queen waking up from her sleep?”

The fairy forest was becoming a much more terrible place than when we first entered.

The tree, which had dried out and twisted into a bizarre shape, could hardly be called an earthly plant.

During the long drought, the energy of evil spirits continued to flow from the cracked earth.

A creature made of black things has an appearance that could never have been created in evolution.

And those who had the appearance of a fairy, even if only slightly, have now become such that they can no longer be called fairies.

– #%@!

These people circling around us, making voices that could not be understood by human perception, caused us physiological discomfort.

The good news was that, apart from being contaminated by the energy of evil spirits, they retained the perception of fairies. The fairies still did not oppose us.

“You can’t just feel safe. everyone. Erginus said it wouldn’t be surprising if the characteristics of a fairy disappeared at some point.”

However, we never let down our guard.

This is because Joy, who learned a lot from Erginus, consistently gave warnings.

Moving our feet without stopping, we were able to reach the vicinity of the barrier faster than last time, but we could not actually see the sun rising in the sky.

The evil spirit flowing out from within the barrier was covering the forest and turning it black.

“The outside of the barrier looks like this, so what does it look like inside?”

“That’s right. I think it would be really fun.”

“You are the only one who finds this fun. Fray Kent.”

While Joey was working to enter the barrier, Arthur and Frey bickered as usual.

After hearing the story from the side, I told my grandfather what I was thinking.

‘I think he’ll be very fine.’

The energy in this forest is now completely under the control of the Fairy Queen. It is clear that otherwise it would make no sense for us not to be attacked.

The Fairy Queen defeats the will of evil spirits and moves even the energy outside the barrier as she wishes.

It would be more correct to say that within one’s own domain, one can even handle the power contained in this energy as if it were his or her own.

“Everyone. Get ready.”

As I raised my head following Joey’s voice, I saw that a door had appeared to go inside.

“There were no mistakes, right? Idiot?”

“…I think it won’t matter if there is. Lucy. The being beyond here welcomes us in.”

The moment I heard Joy’s story that, rather than being interrupted while fixing the barrier, she was instead given authority over it, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Doesn’t that mean we have to consider the possibility that it’s a trap?”

“It will be okay. Incompetent prince. The Chicken Coop Queen, who is not worthy of her age and is still dreaming, does not have the intelligence to do so.”

If the Fairy Queen had regained her senses enough to think about the trap, there was no way the barrier would be intact.

She is still dreaming. That’s why we want to invite those of us who have passed the fairy standard into it.

“Now you won’t say you’re scared and want to run away, right?”

I stood up, stretched, grabbed my shield and mace, and looked at my colleagues.

“If I was going to run away, I wouldn’t have gone through any trouble.”

Arthur shrugged and drew his sword.

“Why are you running away? It must be full of fun things.”

Frey tilted his head as if he didn’t understand my question.

“If this is the path you take, I will gladly go even if it ends in hell.”

Faby placed such heavy words on my shoulder along with a soft smile.

“Where will the lady’s escort go?”

He placed his hand on the sheath of the sword as if it was no big deal.

“Do I have the right to run away?”

I think there will be “. Idiot? You are now a magic tool. There are no human rights!”

“Then why did you ask?”

“If you say it’s scary, I’m going to laugh at you.”

After hearing my answer, Joey giggled and took a seat behind me.

I grinned at how strangely trustworthy those friends were, took a deep breath, and turned my gaze toward the door.

“Then, let’s go make fun of the musty-smelling chicken coop queen.”

As a tanker, the moment you stand in the lead and cross the gate, the surrounding scenery changes.

Colors that had been stained with darkness gain color again. The sky, a mixture of blue and white, is clear enough to remind you of a spring day.

If you look down slightly, you can see trees colored in dark green. The trees were so lush that they covered the sky, but not so much that they even blocked the sun, and they were so beautiful that it made me think that this is the beauty of nature.

If you look down the tree again, you can see butterflies flying here and there.

You can see small animals sticking their heads out from under the bushes and running away.

I see a deer running at high speed, stopping for a moment to look at me, and then leaving again.

You can see flowers blooming in various colors.

I see fairies hiding behind the flower petals, quietly looking at me.

“…what the hell is this.”

“How can such a beautiful place exist under the darkness.”

“I’ve never heard of this.”

“Chii. It’s boring.”

“Keep your nerves alert. This is enemy territory.”

Carl urges the friends who are speechless at the sight of a scene far beyond their imagination.

In times like this, it is convenient to have a driver who is familiar with the actual situation next to you. Because he sets the mood without me having to say anything.

“Lady. What do you think?”

“It’s as expected. It’s obvious that the chicken coop queen has mold on her brain as well.”

The last time I entered the dungeon created by the dark evil spirit at the Burrow Estate, I had to wander around looking for a glimpse of reality in the scenery of the mansion.

It will still be the same now as it was then.

The sights we see with our eyes are all lies presented by the power of evil spirits.

The scenery beyond the senses was no less terrible than the outside.

“Lucy. Then shall we overcome the power of the evil spirit?”

“I know you want to be active, but I’m a little frustrated right now. Idiot. It’s not time yet.”

We must not mistake our goals. We are not here to fight the Fairy Queen.

Our intention is to enter the heart of the forest and release the evil spirit of darkness so that he can devour all the energy of this place.

So there is no need to disturb the Fairy Queen’s dreams. Rather, even if we know the reality, we must match the queen’s dream.

Because I feel more comfortable playing the role of a clown than dealing with an enemy called the Queen.

My friends who heard my story quickly understood the situation and put down their weapons.

“It’s easy to be a clown.”

“That’s right. This is what we have been doing for a long time in social circles.”

“It’s a shame, but I’m confident in this.”

“I will try to keep up with you all.”

As I was watching them confidently conversing, a thought suddenly occurred to me and I turned my gaze to the side.

As if it was only natural, Frey, who was sitting next to me, caught my gaze and tilted his head.

“Why?”

“Stupid prosecutor. Can’t you do anything?”

“Why should I do that?”

“Hmm. You can’t do it? okay. That’s exactly the level of an idiot prosecutor. I can’t help it. I’m a fool for expecting something like you.”

“No! you can do it! I can do it perfectly!”

When I saw Frey’s eyes change as soon as I gently scratched him, I raised my head and promised to play with him when I was done.

Then I saw my friends looking at me with subtle eyes.

“What is it? You bastards.”

“Me. that. Lady.”

“Ugh. Lucy. that is. So.”

“Say it directly. Lucy Aln. Is that what you want to say?”

What Arthur, who was carrying the gun, frowned, was absolutely right.

hmm. Mmm. Uhmmm. Is that so!?

I may not know it after what happened, but now no matter what I do, it will only be negative!

good! Let’s just shut up! Anyway, as long as I keep my mouth shut, I’m super beautiful!

When I closed my mouth and raised the corner of my mouth to show that I understood what he meant, my friends quickly turned their heads and started clearing their throats.

What.

What else are you dissatisfied with?

Isn’t this what you’re supposed to do?

– hey! you guys!

– hi!

– They are really cool people!

The moment I frowned and was about to ask a question, the fairies hiding behind the flowers came out all at once and started talking to us.

– The queen will take you with her for a long time!

– The queen is calling!

– The ultimate glory!

– We have to go quickly!

Tsk. Should I just wait quietly in the back for now?
