=================

The area where the saint’s party met the strange fairy who had escaped from the fairy paradise was an unexplored area in the north named ‘Valley of Frerasia’.

The old ruins of a fallen kingdom.

An unknown space always surrounded by thick fog.

Even though eons had passed, the fairies’ paradise still retained its mysteries. This is because Ruinong was the race that was born by creating infinite mysteries into living things.

The mere existence of the Ruinong race, born from mystery, was proof that the myth existed.

“It will take two more months to get to the Valley of Pracia… .”

I made a rant to my father, but there was no clear plan.

But how do I get there?

There is no way a train track could be laid in an unexplored area completely excluded from civilization.

He looked at Lue and asked for help.

Then Lue straightened her hair and showed a proud look.

“Ruinong is a great fairy! When four people come together, they can open the door to paradise!”

“Oh! Do you know how to use magic?”

“What would you do with that? If you just ask God for help, he will listen.”

“… … .”

If the one kid in the neighborhood who runs around sniffing snot like an idiot was naturally good at magic, wizards who have studied magic for half their lives would have jumped off the roof of the Magic Tower out of shame.

I don’t know how to use magic.

Instead, we simply use the mysterious power given to us by the Creator.

hmm.

It’s great to hear this.

I think I heard from a wise man that the magic created by wizards is nothing more than a power to imitate mysteries that have been lost over time.

“But wait… . Four people?”

“… … .”

I asked in a slurred voice.

Then Lue turned her head to the side, perhaps feeling embarrassed.

“Then that means you can’t do it! I need to throw away all the thick candies that have annoying names!”

“Hey! It’s not like there’s no way!”

I turned to throw away the thick candy piled up in my office on the ridge. Then Lue stretched out both hands and desperately grabbed the collar.

Is it difficult to reveal clearly?

It was a moment where the safety of the thick candies was at stake, but they seemed hesitant for a moment.

“Just send a ‘help signal’ to your friends in paradise!”

“… Help signal?”

what.

I think you’re making fun of me.

Or it’s a hastily made up lie.

However, Lue’s expression was quite serious, so I decided to trust her.

“Ugh, wait a minute… !”

He frowned and pressed his temples with both hands. It was a pose that seemed like a group of neighborhood children gathered together to play telepathy.

hmm.

I’m sure you’re making fun of me.

Conveying magic, which conveys a message to an opponent at an extremely long distance, requires a lot of preparation and effort, to the point where even excellent magicians find it difficult.

Of course, there is no way that ultra-long-distance transmission would be possible with such a stupid pose.

“Bliyon! Piyong! Yaaaa!!”

Lue, who had closed her eyes tightly, suddenly let out a scream.

Are you crazy?

The thick candy was important enough to make such a crazy imitation… .

I felt truly guilty at the thought of having driven my precious partner, who had followed me around like an alter ego for a month, into panic.

* * *

Three days after that,

A bunch of smart kids knocked on the gate of Yeongju Castle.

Girls with colorful hair like Lue were showing strong caution.

The guards guarding the castle gate reacted awkwardly and lowered their military flags.

“Hurry and give Lue back! There’s no use in turning away! As if I heard a help signal!”

“You’re definitely caught, right? This is why you shouldn’t go outside!”

It’s definitely true.

The girls were clearly ‘ruinong’.

Full kidneys.

Pointy ears. Eyes that shine like jewels.

And even a unique way of speaking that irritates people.

The guards, who immediately recognized that it was a mysterious fairy, took no notice of the commotion. The same was true for Lue, who was watching her friends from afar.

“These are Lue’s friends. Just let it pass.”

“Understood, Master Ethan.”

The little girls clenched their fists with cute hands and looked out for their surroundings.

He sighed and took the guards back.

“Pie! Tab! Did Naru and Lupa come all the way?”

There was a girl with light green hair. Wow-. I screamed and ran to my friends.

Then, the Ruinongs who raided the Marquis of Hohenberg quickly showed their anger.

“Stupid Rue! Hello!”

“How worried we were… ! Hue!!”

A heartwarming scene was created as I reunited with a friend who ran away from home many years ago. They even hugged each other while shedding tears.

It’s a special friendship.

no,

The Ruinongs looked like a family.

My friend, who had left suddenly, must have run to me in a panic, thinking he might be in trouble. Even though Ruinong was an oddball who left paradise on his own, the Ruinongs still regarded him as a precious family member.

“Keuhum. I’m sorry for interrupting such a touching moment… .”

“Human! It’s human! He is a big human!”

As I approached cautiously, the red-haired Ruinong blocked my path like a snarling cat.

And he extended his fist at me.

“I heard that humans are a bad race!”

“I heard that they are a race that captures Ruinongs who don’t listen by putting them in a sack!”

As a species that cut off connections with the outside world and chose a closed life, they were openly afraid of humans. During the time of isolation, you must have developed a fear of the outside world.

Won’t you be harmed?

Eyes as bright as jewels were full of fear.

If a third party were to witness the situation, they would view it as a villain seeking to kidnap an infant. It was truly fortunate that Ludmilla and Zebeline were absent.

“Not! Ethan is my best partner! Me and Ethan are incredibly famous in human society!”

Lue shouted as she stretched out her hands.

And he started talking about what he had experienced.

Daily life at the Hohenberg family.

And even his performance against evil villains in the imperial capital.

The Ruinongs showed interest in Jukmagou’s earnest appeal. They even applauded after hearing an anecdote about how a beautiful princess was saved by detecting an evil demon through its foul odor.

“Lue, you’re so amazing!”

“Did you really see the princess from the storybook?”

Vigilance faded.

A bright admiration arose on his behalf.

The Ruinongs who visited the Hohenberg family were guided straight to the reception room. The Ruinongs who witnessed the dazzling scenery of the Lord’s Castle had their eyes sparkling as if they were looking at a different world.

It seemed wary every time a new user appeared, but it followed Lue like a chick.

“Wow, what on earth is this?!”

“Very sweet smell… ! This is my first time smelling it!”

The chocolate cake topped with finely ground cookies threatened my sense of sight and smell.

The fairies who were shivering on the sofa greedily ate the cake.

His wary face melted as he felt the sweetness of the sweet taste he was experiencing for the first time.

I heard it from Lue.

When I lived in an isolated valley village, I lived by eating clear dew and frozen icicles.

Therefore, in order to show her the wonders of the outside world, I tried to win her favor by serving her chocolate cake, which Lue especially liked.

It was a very simple method, but it worked like a special medicine for the Ruinongs.

“Would you like more? There are so many.”

“Really-?!”

“Okay then! We are Lue’s friends, so we have to do at least this much.”

“Lue’s partner seems to be a good person, contrary to appearances!”

When the ravenous tea time of the bratty kids has reached a certain point,

He stated his business carefully.

“I want to go to your paradise hidden in the valley… Could you please invite me?”

Then, the Ruinongs with their mouths covered in chocolate blinked and tilted their heads. It was a completely unexpected reaction.

The paradise of fairies is a different space that declares eternal separation from the world.

Of course, there’s no way you can just accept it.

Didn’t they hide in the valley of Frerasia to protect the mysteries handed down in myth from the rapidly changing flow of time?

The Ruinong race, which had so far rejected change, would naturally reject the offer of a human who was almost completely unfamiliar to them.

“I’ll give you as many thick candies as you want.”

“Well, that… ! Isn’t that the thick candy I got?!”

Ignoring Lue’s cries, I watched the reactions of the Ruinongs.

Sigh-.

The table was sprinkled with thick candies neatly wrapped in wrappers.

Then the Ruinongs ate the thick candy. The kids, who were rolling it around in their mouths and savoring the sweet taste, soon began to open their eyes like cats experiencing churro for the first time.

* * *

When I told them that I was going to the fairyland of magic, Ludmilla and Zebeline couldn’t help but react with embarrassment.

The red dragon and the white dragon, who were looking at each other from the corner of their eyes, opened their mouths at the same time.

“Your… . You got a head injury during the battle. Unfortunately.”

“You need to develop faith. If you believe in Mother Earth, all diseases will be cured.”

Although it was a sincere remark, it received sympathy and pity from the princess and the saint.

Was the explanation insufficient?

So how should I explain ‘Paradise of the Fairies’?

Following my father, even Ludmilla and Zeveline treated me as a mental patient. It’s only natural to think it’s strange that a 23-year-old person is talking about the fairyland of magic.

“A human being dressed in white from hair to clothes!”

“Lue says that she is a very high saint!”

“But what is a saint… ?”

Girls with pockets full of thick candy came sneaking up like squirrels. Then, he showed strong interest in Zeveline, who was wearing a pure white robes.

They say that children are especially interested in young and pretty girls.

Jeveline, facing the innocent admiration, smiled brightly and waved at Ruinong and others.

The Ruinongs squealed in joy at that.

“Mrs.”

“She’s an ajumma.”

“Ajumma!”

Afterwards, the Ruinongs who looked at Ludmila giggled and expressed their feelings honestly.

this,

I’m being too honest because I’m afraid he might be a child… !

Ludmilla, who had heard the unpleasant insult, exuded a fierce intimidation with a stiff expression.

Then Ruinong, who was acting like a tomboy, trembled and hid behind me.

“The little ones here will open the passageway to paradise.”

“Then, the magic country you mentioned… .”

“It is a paradise for fairies where Ruinongs live.”

“This is absurd.”

Ludmilla and Zebeline, who learned the whole story, reacted in bewilderment.

When Ruinong gathers, the passage can be opened.

From now on, we are going to take the passage and head to the paradise of fairies.

The princess and saintess, who were staring at the cute girls, showed disapproval. If he suddenly goes missing like this, the Imperial Knights and the Holy Knights will definitely fall apart.

“Me! Then I’ll go!”

As Ludmilla and Zebeline hesitated to answer,

The Third Princess, who had been quietly eavesdropping on the conversation, intervened by waving her hand.

“Lisa! It is not a matter to be accepted so readily.”

“A paradise full of beautiful fairies… It looks like a lot of fun!”

Aside from me, the person with whom Lue had the closest relationship was Elisabetta.

Maybe you have a knack for parenting?

She boasted a maternal love that was not typical of Lopan’s villainous daughter.

Elisabetta, who carefully cared for Lue like a girl who loved dolls, also showed goodwill to the girls who visited the marquis’ territory.

“Opening the passage is very simple.”

“All you have to do is sing while asking God in your heart!”

Pie Ruinong. Tab Ruinong. Naru Ruinong. Rupa Ruinong.

The four girls reached out to each other.

The fairies facing each other in a circle held hands affectionately and began to spin around and sing in excited voices.
