43.

The next day.

Chris and his group went to find the unicorn’s relatives.

The unicorn’s relatives seemed to live near a small spring in the Forest of Dreams.

-Heeeling!

The unicorn called to its relatives in its own language near the spring.

Soon, a unicorn with silvery white mane with a hint of pink appeared.

-Hehehe!

-Heeeling!

The two unicorns rubbed their horns and licked each other’s manes as if they were happy to see each other again after a long time.

It seemed as if Chris’s unicorn was asking for something.

The unicorn of the dream forest nodded willingly.

It seemed like things were going well.

-Hehehe!

But then suddenly, the cousin unicorn gave Chris a look of disapproval.

“Why is there something sharp in the way you look at me?”

“Lily and Riel are pure virgins, so it’s okay to take them to the Fairy King couple, but I don’t trust Chris, who is a man.”

It was unfair.

Because Chris was a pure cherry boy.

“I’m pure too! Believe me!”

Chris felt wronged.

‘Why do I, a pure person, have to be treated like this?’

A cousin unicorn approached Chris.

-Purrr.

The unicorn watched Chris closely and sniffed him to see if he smelled like a playboy.

“Ugh… !”

The unicorn put its nose near Chris’s groin and sniffed carefully.

And then he nodded with a slightly sad look.

“That’s great! My cousin Unicorn has acknowledged that Chris is Cherry Boy!”

Chris felt ashamed.

‘Is this why I became a summoner…?’

-Hehehe!

“The unicorn cousin will guide you to the dreamy giant tree where the fairy king couple lives.”

It seemed that, as usual, outsiders would never be able to approach because of the hallucinatory fog coming from the dreamy giant tree.

When a normal person tries to find the dreamy giant tree, they get tired of going around and around in circles because of the hallucinatory fog, and eventually end up going back to the entrance of the forest.

However, the unicorn tribe was not affected by the fog of illusion. That is why it was explained that if you just followed the unicorn, you could easily reach the dreamy giant tree.

Chris and his party followed their cousin the Unicorn through the Forest of Dreams.

As I was walking down the street, a giant spider suddenly appeared from between the trees.

-Profit!

The giant spider shot webs at Chris and his group.

“Whoa! What the heck?!”

-Hehehe!

What did the cousin unicorn say?

“I heard that the number of violent monsters has increased rapidly in the fortress!”

“Here too?”

What flashed through Chris’ mind was a black crystal.

Could it be that the worshippers of the demon god used the black crystals in this dream forest to make the monsters violent?

In any case, dealing with the monster that suddenly appeared was the most urgent task.

“Please give me a unicorn!”

-Heeeek!

The unicorn gathered magic power into its horn.

The unicorn’s horn, which was originally not that long, created a magical blade nearly a meter long.

“Hon Blade, Execute!”

The unicorn swung its magical horn and sharply cut through the webs spread by the giant spider.

-Keeek!

The giant spider howled.

He jumped up big and fell to the ground, crushing the unicorn.

Kuung!

The unicorn barely managed to avoid the attack, but the impact was so strong that it made a dent in the ground.

The unicorn was thrown far away by the impact.

“Unicorn, don’t back down, attack with Drill Tempest!”

Chris took up the summoning staff and sent his magic to the unicorn.

-Heeeling!

The unicorn’s horn absorbed Chris’s magic like a lightning rod.

Phage crackle!

A magical light of pink and purple enveloped the unicorn.

Tata-tat! The unicorn charged at the giant spider.

The magical power surrounding the unicorn began to spiral like a giant drill.

The unicorn became a single beam of light and pierced the giant spider.

-Keeek!

Parsisit.

The Giant Spider, who was pierced in the chest by the Unicorn, died instantly with a large hole in his chest.

The dead giant spider collapsed into a heap of ash.

“Those who offer their souls to the devil will not be able to remain in this world after death, but will fall into hell. They will not even leave behind a corpse, but will turn into ashes and disappear.”

Giving his soul to the Demon God meant that the Giant Spider was also under the control of the Black Crystal.

‘The hands of the worshippers who have drunk the water have reached out here as well.’

I had complicated feelings.

Even after defeating the Giant Spider, monsters such as Leaf Elk and Maple Ficent continued to block Chris and his party’s path.

Although the monsters weren’t that strong, Chris and his summons were very tired from moving through the forest while fighting them.

“Take a short break. I’ll use some healing magic on you. You’ll recover a lot from your fatigue.”

When an empty space appeared where no monsters were visible, Riel made a suggestion.

As Riel said, both Chris and the Unicorn and Ray were very tired, so it seemed like it would be a good idea to rest for a while.

“Healing Execution!”

Green magic flowed from Riel’s magic wand and enveloped Chris, Unicorn, and Ray’s bodies.

The minor wounds I got from fighting monsters have healed and my fatigue has also greatly improved.

Chris and his party rested in the open space for about 30 minutes before heading back to the dreamy giant tree.

Did it take about two hours?

The cousin unicorn cried, “Heeheeing.”

It seemed like we were almost at our destination.

“Huh?!”

The moment Chris took a step forward, the dark forest that had been covered in thick fog and obscured his view of his surroundings suddenly transformed into a landscape of a fragrant flower field under a clear sky.

And in the center of it all was a magnificent, large tree, a dreamy giant tree, called the Little World Tree.

“It seems like they created a space that is isolated from the surrounding environment with something like a unique barrier. That’s amazing magic.”

Ray also seemed impressed and muttered.

After walking for a while, two fairies with butterfly wings appeared from the sky.

It had a body with graceful, feminine curves, skin covered with keratin like an insect, and compound eyes with antennae.

It was as if a butterfly had transformed into a human.

Although it looked different from a human, it felt beautiful and noble.

The two fairies seemed to be guards protecting the dreamy giant tree, judging by the spears they held in their hands.

“What happened to the forest friend, the unicorn, in the dreamy giant tree? Who are the humans behind it?”

The fairy guard looked at Chris and his party behind the unicorn.

-Hehehe.

The unicorn cousins told them that the humans were pure virgins and had come to meet the Fairy King couple.

“What brings you here to meet the Fairy King and Queen?”

Chris briefly told the fairy guard that he was a summoner and that he was looking for a fairy summon.

“Hmm… You’re a summoner?”

The fairy guard seemed more interested in Chris’s status as a summoner than in his errands.

The fairy guard looked at Ray and the unicorn.

“It seems you have a powerful summoner as a friend. Wait a moment. I will ask the Fairy King and his wife for their opinion and come back.”

A fairy guard flew towards the dreamy tree.

Chris and his party sat on the stump of a nearby large tree as recommended by another guard and waited for permission to see the Fairy King and his wife.

Chris and his party waited for about 20 minutes, drinking the black tea the fairies had given them.

“The Fairy King and Queen have given their permission. Follow me.”

The guard came back and said.

Chris and his party followed the guards towards the dreamy giant tree.

“The Fairy King couple created a living space inside the dreamy giant tree and live there.”

I wondered if it was okay to just dig up a tree, which is the symbol of the forest, and make a house out of it, but it was a huge tree that was over 20 meters tall, so I didn’t think it would die or anything if I just dug it up a little.

There was a wooden door at the base of the dreamy giant tree.

When I opened the door and went inside the large tree, it didn’t seem much different from a normal wooden building.

There were windows inside the building and a lot of luminous moss, so it was well-lit.

Chris and his party followed the fairy guards to the audience room.

The interior of the audience room was narrow but splendidly decorated.

On two thrones made of wood sat the Fairy King Oberon and the Fairy Queen Titania.

They too had insect-like appearances, like the fairy guards.

“Are you a party of summoners? It’s nice to meet you.”

The Fairy Queen Titania greeted him kindly.

Chris and his party sat on wooden chairs that had been prepared in advance.

“I heard from the guard. You’re looking for a fairy summoner. Depending on the conditions, I can become your summoner.”

Titania, who comes out surprisingly big.

“Oh! Really?”

Chris’s expression brightened.

“I just wish you could solve the problem that is plaguing our fairies right now. I think it is a problem that you can solve if you are a powerful summoner.”

Of course, I thought there would be conditions.

Because nothing in this world is free.

“Tell me what’s going on.”

“Actually, our Fairy Tribe has not been on good terms with the Giant Spider Tribe for generations. But recently, the King Giant Spider, the king of the Giant Spider Tribe, has become ferocious and has been ordering his subordinates to attack the Fairy Tribe. As a result, the number of Fairy Tribes dying is increasing. What we want is for you, the Summoners, to deal with the King Giant Spider.”

‘King Giant Spider… Did the giant spider that attacked our group on the way to the dreamy tree also receive orders from its leader?’

Chris’s intuition seemed to indicate that the black crystal was also involved in the King Giant Spider’s transformation.

Aside from the Fairy Queen’s request, there was something Chris needed to investigate.

“Okay, I accept that condition.”
