The day of the operation’s conclusion. After Lucy and her group entered the forest at dawn. Mueller looked at the forest from the front line with glaring eyes.

Not only was he in a position to lead several forest owners, but he was also one of the oldest forest owners, and he remembered how beautiful the fairy forest was in the past.

That’s why, looking at the rotted forest, I had greater worries than others.

The power of the Fairy Queen is great.

In the past, when she was awake, the queen’s power reached all the forests of the world.

So if this plan fails, all forests on earth will be in danger.

I feel like I want to jump in there myself.

‘Ahaha. A dirty dog covered in dirt can’t go into the house, right? Just wait miserably outside. Because that suits you who smells like an animal.’

Meurer remembered the face of the child who had received great help in the past and was to be helped again this time, and sighed as he held his face in his large hands.

She is someone who can work miracles.

He is closer to a myth than anyone else in this world.

So, I think it’s okay to trust it, but I can’t help but feel uneasy in a corner of my heart.

“Murler.”

Murer, who returned to reality after hearing Lina’s voice, retracted his protruding nails and turned his head to the side.

“What’s going on?”

“Can you contact those staying in other forests now?”

“Anywhere not far away will do.”

“Please keep in touch every hour. When something goes wrong, the first place it happens is in the forest.”

Murer nodded and asked to contact the other forest owners, then looked at the forest again.

“Murler. Do you know the time when that forest was beautiful?”

“Yes. The age of myth was a time when forests were more beautiful than ever.”

This is not a story simply limited to the fairy forest. In that era when gods and humans played together, nature was prosperous incomparably with today.

It was because various gods had a positive influence on the forest.

This was because much more magic resided in nature than in modern times.

This is because fairies stand by nature and lend a caring hand.

“What kind of person was the Fairy Queen? Even if you ask Lucy, she just says it’s a chicken coop.”

“Chicken coop? What expression is that?”

“I think it probably means a woman who smells like a chicken coop.”

“…That person? Didn’t I know something was wrong?”

Even in the age of myth, he was the owner of the forest and a mighty wolf, but he was not a person who could win the favor of the fairies.

The fairies said, ‘It looks so scary!’ ‘I think I’m going to get eaten!’ ‘I hate it!’ Did you say that?

In any case, he had no grounds for disqualification other than outward appearance, and was given the opportunity to meet her through the favor of the Fairy Queen.

“What I felt when I first saw the Fairy Queen was innocence.”

“You mean it was white?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. hmm. Why aren’t there people among humans who fight fiercely over words? One of the topics they fight about is where evil begins.”

Some say that something that was full of goodness at birth turns black as it goes through life, while others say that something that was full of evil from birth learns discipline in the world.

From the perspective of Mueller, the owner of the forest, it seems like they are just talking about pointless things, but there is something good about hearing their arguments. At times like this, you can borrow their words.

“The Fairy Queen is someone who is born pure and lives forever pure. There is no element of the subversive expression ‘chicken coop’ involved.”

They are different from fairies who live pure lives because they are born pure and never become polluted.

The Fairy Queen is a being who knows the world and yet remains pure.

How much awe Murer felt when he realized this fact.

It was a story that had no meaning now that that person had been immersed in darkness, but Murer still had not forgotten that emotion.

“I’m not curious about that, I just want to ask about your appearance.”

Meurer, recalling the distant past, spoke excitedly, but the answer he received from Lina was bitter. okay. You have been such a beast since long ago.

“…Of all the lives on earth I have seen, there is no one more beautiful than him.”

“More than Lucy?”

“You mean the daughter of the Alln family? hmm. Mmm.”

It’s difficult because I’ve never compared the other person’s appearance. All I can say is that they are both beautiful.

Seeing that there was no response from Muror even after a long time, Lina smiled and opened her mouth.

“It is done. We will meet soon, so I will evaluate it then.”

“Do you really think you will be able to meet that person again? The Fairy Queen who has been consumed by the energy of evil spirits for hundreds of years?”

“Of course.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Lucy is a fool who can’t bear not to save the unfortunate.”

Murer, who secretly turned his eyes to Lina’s words filled with affection, smiled when he saw her sparkling eyes.

Did the child who thought of everything in the world as valuable or not now have personal feelings?

It’s a good thing. Is this also because there is a child who is loved by the Lord?

…Of course, Lina’s attitude towards Lucy Alln is somewhat, or rather, quite excessive, but she will learn to control herself over time.

I’m still clumsy.

I’m just clumsy, right?

You wouldn’t do something like that even if you knew you would be hated, right?

I hope I’m not mistaken in the good direction.

“Murler.”

“Hmm?! ah. I didn’t think anything of it. What I was particularly suspicious of was.”

“What are you talking about? Over there.”

Myuler turned his head following Lina’s finger and confirmed that something was wrong with the fairy forest barrier.

The energy is flowing from within. Are the fairy queen’s dreams being interrupted?

“Go and tell the knights. The time for war has arrived.”

“I have already contacted you. Because I’m competent.”

“That’s right.”

“I am so capable, but I also know that Murer thought I was a pervert.”

“…Is there any evidence that I thought that way?”

“No, but I don’t think I can lie to Murer, who is very conscientious.”

Lina had a mischievous smile that resembled someone else’s, but to Meurer, that smile felt more frightening than playful. The sense of intimidation on his lips was completely different.

“I hope you bring me another gift next time.”

“If you are talking about jewelry. under. okay. I’ll do my best.”

“Lord Erginus!”

“I know. Get ready.”

Erginus, who felt the black energy flowing from the forest, finished his meditation and went outside.

The forest, which was ominous and quiet like a graveyard, can be seen shaking. The Fairy Queen’s dreams are being interrupted.

“Queen. He said he asked the piece to kill him, right?”

Erginus knows too. That is the easiest and most realistic way.

“But. If it was going to be solved that way, we wouldn’t have waited hundreds of years.”

Choosing that option at the end is enough.

Until that happens, I’ll have to do everything I can. This is not something I would say as someone who has left everything like a burden to future children.

“Please hope a miracle happens.”

Erginus raised a prayer to the sky, which had not been done even in the era of mythology, and headed to the place where the wizards of Patran were.

It was time to prepare for war.

*

– Hey. The queen is as pretty as I know!

– huh! It is more fragrant than any other flower!

– I always want to be by the queen’s side!

– I want to keep seeing the Queen smile!

Joey bit his lip as he watched the fairies continuously praising the queen, like Faby chattering about Lucy.

Is it because I learned how to deal with hallucinations from Erginus? I can see the ugliness hidden behind their gorgeous appearances.

Behind the seemingly bright smile, an expressionless doll’s face is hidden.

Ugliness is hidden behind the innocent voices of children.

The refreshing forest is actually shrouded in darkness, and none of the life that lives here is real.

no. In the first place, life itself does not exist.

The forest that died hundreds of years ago has become hell and is only imprisoning the dead.

…There’s no way other people aren’t feeling this at all.

There is no need to mention Lucy. Fabi also possesses the divinity of the main god. Young Anna Kent and Professor Karl must be feeling a sense of discomfort as they are martial artists who have reached a certain level.

It seems like the 3rd prince is also feeling uncomfortable in some way. When that person is in a bad mood, he applies excessive force to his molars.

Everyone feels out of place.

Still, I’m laughing along with the fairy’s story.

I’m not the only one holding on to something that makes me vomit.

Phew. are you okay. You’re used to acting calm in any situation.

In the past, I had a hard time managing my facial expressions every time an accident happened because of Lucy in my social circle!

Compared to that, this is nothing. huh.

Joy, who was laughing and following behind her friends, soon stopped when she felt energy coming from inside.

It’s not just horrible or disgusting.

The energy lurking within is the evil spirit itself.

A darker and more disturbing energy resides within me than the dragon sent as a proxy by the evil spirit during the attack on the Academy.

Is there a fairy queen over there?

“Joy.”

Just as Joey was swallowing his saliva, Arthur spoke up next to him.

Joey, who somehow managed to overcome the fact that he was a little startled and almost heard Sarah, tried to remain calm and waited for Arthur’s words.

“As you know, we must not give Lucy Alln a chance to speak out. I don’t know what will happen.”

“I know it well. 3 Prince.”

Now, Lucy is keeping quiet after listening to her friends’ advice, but no one with her thought that Lucy would remain quiet until the end.

If she had been a calm person, Lucy’s reputation would not have suffered a setback.

“The saintess takes the lead in the conversation and we support from behind.”

“I think that would be better. Because the fairies show the greatest favor to Fabi.”

“Even though I am lacking, I will do my best.”

Those who felt the Fairy Queen’s energy each said something and had a meeting to come up with a solution.

“Hello. Everyone.”

All of that became meaningless the moment the Fairy Queen appeared.

“It’s been a while since I saw you as a customer.”

A being that seems to have gathered all the darkness engraved in the night sky.

Something so black that you can’t even see what’s lurking inside.

Erginus said that the Fairy Queen is a being infinitely close to godhood, right?

You were right. Because this black person in front of me is infinitely closer to an evil spirit.

“Nice to meet you. I am the fairy queen. She is the mother of all fairies that exist in this world.”

The Fairy Queen smiled brightly, but Joey couldn’t see her smile.

The darkness lurking inside her obscured everything, making it difficult to even properly understand what was being said, let alone laugh.

Joey wasn’t the only one like this. Everyone here was feeling similar emotions.

The darkness that the current Fairy Queen embraces is so terrible that it touches the essential darkness of life.

This is a being from the mythical era. The great evil that the heroes faced.

It’s definitely threatening.

It’s on a different level from the monsters I met in the dungeon.

Even the dragon we saw during the Academy attack wouldn’t be able to reach this level.

scared.

I’m afraid.

I want to run away.

I want to get down on my knees and beg for my life.

I want to cry.

I’d rather bite my tongue than stand in front of something this horrible.

“Not…”

But anyway. You can’t stand back forever and leave everything to Lucy.

I came this far because I wanted to stand next to my friend.

Joey blocked Lucy, who was about to step forward as if she had been waiting, and used magic to semi-forcibly calm her trembling hands, then bowed her head in front of the Fairy Queen.

“Hello. The owner of all purity in the world, the one who is pure and blue. My name is Joy Patran, the only daughter of the Patran Duke family, one of the five dukes of the Kingdom of Soladdin, and a disciple of the great Archmage Erginus.”

“…of Erginus. Disciple?”

“Yes. Queen.”

I have come to speak to the Queen in accordance with the wishes of my noble teacher.
