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

The softly shining crystals once again gave off a brilliant brilliance.

The morning dawned.

Then the Ruinongs appeared one by one.

The Ruinongs who gathered in an orderly manner began to do gymnastics, stretching their short limbs.

Like a girl group that has been practicing their choreography for a long time, their posture was perfectly aligned.

one two three four.

Two, two, three, four.

“Hwaam… !”

“Hmmnya, umnya.”

The Ruinongs who came out of the hut were still in a half-asleep state.

I saw Ruinong dozing off.

There was even Louison waving his arms while snoring.

Ruinong was a sleepy fairy who slept a lot in the morning, but no one missed the gymnastics. Even though I was in a half-asleep state, I continued to do gymnastics, shaking my arms and legs.

“Haam! I couldn’t sleep a wink because I was waiting for Ethan all night. It’s all because of Ethan.”

A girl with light green hair clung to the leg like a cicada.

Do you think you are an exception?

Lue repeatedly dozed off while hanging on her legs.

“What should I do… ! They’re so cute, the colorful little ones in paradise!”

“… … .”

Elizabeth stamped her feet at the sight of Ruinong exercising while stretching out their short limbs.

What on earth is so cute?

As a guardian who looked after a tomboy girl for a month, I didn’t feel any particular appreciation.

“Nyunnyomnyom!”

“Ugh, it’s cold!”

After finishing gymnastics, the Ruinongs headed straight to the area where icicles were growing.

I took a small icicle and put it in my mouth like candy.

The Ruinongs frowned at the coldness but sucked on the icicles until the end.

The red icicles are strawberry flavored.

The yellow icicles taste like lemons.

The green icicles taste like apples.

50 Ruinongs lined up and ate breakfast according to their tastes.

This would be natural for fairies living in paradise. However, to an outsider, it just looked like a group of starving gnats licking icicles.

“It’s so cold. Plus it’s not tasty.”

What on earth does the icicles that Ruinongs eat taste like?

Suddenly I got curious and put a large icicle in my mouth.

I licked it gently.

And he threw the icicle on the ground.

It tasted like sweet fruit, but that was it. Would you say it tastes worse than a cheap ice snack?

Lu also took an icicle and ate it, then threw it on the floor. As I traveled to numerous countries on the continent and enjoyed a variety of delicacies, I developed a high level of taste that could not be satisfied with things like icicles.

“Pretty princess!”

“Good morning, princess!”

When the routine was roughly over, the Ruinongs gathered around Elisabetta.

Goddess Broyan left.

However, the remnants of the goddess still flowed through Elisabetta.

Was he drawn to the remains of the Creator?

Or does he truly admire Elisabetta?

Maybe it’s both.

Elisabetta and Broyan are very similar, from their personalities to their appearances.

“Listen carefully. I will take you to the outside world.”

The beautiful princess with flowing blonde hair stretched out her hands and spoke excitedly. At the princess’s unexpected remark, the Ruinongs drew a round question mark with their hair.

The outside world… ?

At the unfamiliar word, puzzlement spread across the Ruinongs’ faces.

There were only five Ruinongs who had been to the outside world. The four Ruinongs, excluding Lue, only experienced the outside world for a moment.

For the Ruinongs who had never experienced the outside world, Elisabeta’s declaration was enough to arouse fear of the unknown.

Just as they are very wary of humans, they are naturally fearful of the outside world.

“Bo, I want to go!”

“Pi Ruinong, who is full of loyalty, will follow the princess!”

The four Ruinongs who had experienced the outside world first raised their hands.

A very sweet chocolate cake.

Thick candy flowing like a sweet harmony.

In just one day, I became a prisoner of sugar.

The conflict between the Ruinongs deepened at the sight of their friend jumping on the princess without the slightest hesitation. He looked very serious as he rolled his pebble-like sparkling eyes and pondered.

“Ugh… ! I want to go with the princess!”

“Yeah, but the outside world is still scary!”

Nervous anticipation and fear of the unknown collided.

Which one should I choose?

It was an extremely harsh choice for the Ruinongs.

There was no way the fairies who had lived in paradise for a long time would have ever thought about this. That’s why each of the little fairies hesitated, tying their heads.

“Everyone, listen carefully. I never abandon my faithful servants. No matter what difficulties you may face… I will protect my servants until the end. Because that is the duty of a member of the royal family who inherits a noble lineage.”

Elizabeth declared, placing her hand on her heart.

Noble pride and dignity overflowed.

The personality that emphasized duty inherited through bloodline reminded me of Ludmilla.

A determined voice suppressed the fear that was spreading like a plague. As if to prove it, the Louisans who were trembling in fear raised their hair and stared at Elisabetta.

‘The remnants of Broyan’s deity have been assimilated with Elisabeta. Since I haven’t officially received protection from Broyan, I won’t become a demon… It should never be overused.’

Broyan was the fairy goddess who created the Ruinongs, but from the perspective of humans who worshiped the Earth Mother as their sole deity, she was nothing more than an evil god.

It must not be known that the princess of the Valtaria Empire accepted the godhood of the Shinigami.

Elizabeth’s safety is at stake.

And the future of Ruinong going to the outside world depended on it.

I’ll have to tell you about that later.

I silently looked at the back of Elisabetta, who was leading numerous fairies.

* * *

As if struck by lightning, the castle of the Marquis of Hohenberg was enveloped in pure white brilliance.

Flash!

With an intense flash of light, a passage leading to paradise opened.

Afterwards, small fairies filled with colorful colors poured out.

“The ceiling is so blue!”

“Fool, that’s called the sky… !”

After escaping from the closed underground space of the valley and arriving in the outside world, the Ruinongs continued to look around with a strong desire to explore.

A blue sky that looks like paint has been scattered.

A courtyard decorated with a variety of beautiful flower buds.

And even the large, elegant mansion I had imagined while reading fairy tales.

It felt like I had arrived in another world.

Ruinong’s clear eyes were sparkling more than ever.

“How did the kids get into the courtyard?”

“That’s right. But what about the brilliance that sparkled just now… .”

The servants of the Hohenberg family could not help but be dumbfounded by the light that flashed for a moment. And he expressed his bewilderment at the sudden appearance of the Ruinongs.

Then, Edanant appeared belatedly and wiped away the anxiety of the users.

“It’s okay because the fairies invited us politely. You will now become a member of the Hohenberg family.”

“Are you talking about those kids…? ?”

He added that he would make all Ruinongs members of the family like Rue.

It’s such a sudden decision.

The employees shrugged their shoulders, showing disapproval.

However, there were no voices of opposition. The employees who truly trusted Edanant nodded with the feeling, ‘It’s the master’s decision, so it will work out somehow.’

“Sir, you came back earlier than expected.”

“Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to persuade.”

Ludmilla, who heard the news, hurriedly ran to greet Edanant.

Then Edenant answered in a bright voice and pointed at Elisabetta and Ruinong with his chin.

Ludmila breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her sister had returned safely.

“I guess it’s because you protected Elizaveta.”

“No, there was nothing particularly dangerous.”

An incident occurred in which the goddess who created the Ruinongs briefly became possessed by Elisabeta, but she did not bother to tell Ludmilla. It will only incite nervousness for no reason.

Only the remnants of the Godhead remained.

As time passes, Broyan’s divinity will gradually be depleted.

The problem is Elizabeth’s constitution to perfectly accept godhood.

Just as Broyan, who was in eternal sleep, was forcibly possessed by Elisabetta, other gods may also become attached to the body in the same way.

How can we prevent possession?

I needed to think about it for a moment.

“I’m not doubting your thoughts, but… What kind of help will Ruinong be of any help?”

“I will never disappoint you. Please watch Ruinong’s activities.”

Ludmilla asked, glancing at the Ruinongs who were jumping around like tomboys.

Will it really help the territory?

Aren’t they innocent fairies, no different from any other child?

It was natural to have such doubts.

Obviously, not only she, but also many other employees of the Marquis family would think that way.

Clear results were needed to resolve deep doubts. And in order for Ruinong to be recognized as a new race of the Valtaria Empire.
