I don’t know much about the fairies that exist at Soul Academy.

By the time the player entered the academy, the fairy’s name had already become an illusion.

There was almost no information I could get about the fairies, who do not appear in the game as monsters or allies, and even if they occasionally appear in flashbacks, they only provide limited information.

At best, the ending they faced was far from happy?

That’s why my eyes widened when I saw a quest window that directly mentioned the word fairy.

If you’re talking about a fairy’s dream, you’re talking about a fairy forest, right?

Fairies who were buried in the darkness a long time ago and fell into eternal sleep.

The place where the Fairy Queen, whom I encountered during Little Hickey’s ordeal, sleeps. When this world was a game, it was a place you couldn’t enter no matter what you did. Can you go in there!?

Can I really go to a dungeon I know nothing about? New event!

New skill! New NPC! New dungeon! New monsters and patterns! Relief from the scattered rice cakes!

Is this the DLC that never came out when I was behind the monitor?

Filled with anticipation, I lowered my gaze and tilted my head to look at the words written on the blue window.

[A long time ago, the Fairy Queen fell into a trap prepared by a dark evil spirit. The heroes tried to save her, but after many sacrifices, they had to admit failure. The wizard, who thought he could not achieve anything, sealed the fairy forest in eternal sleep with bitter failure in his heart. Even now, fairies are dreaming. A happy dream of flying through a green forest and smiling mischievously. How long will these people dream? Is the only ending left for these people to be having a happy dream and dying into the night? Is there no way for them to wake up from their dreams?]

[Please tell us your conclusion.]

[The rewards for this quest change depending on your achievements.]

…my conclusion?

What conclusion?

After rereading the quest, which seemed to be a loose collection of meaningful phrases, twice, I frowned and took a step back.

No, after all, isn’t this asking you to go to the fairy forest and solve the problem?

But why are you talking as if I should choose for myself?

So far, they have forced us to do things that are incredibly dangerous and disgusting enough to make us shudder, so why are they acting so coyly considerate this time?

If you think about it, it’s not much different from usual, but I’m still mad for no reason.

It’s like a cautionary note written underneath a toy. If anything happens, it’s not our responsibility. Those phrases are written in a lot of twists and turns.

What’s more frustrating is that I don’t have a choice whether I like this phrase or not.

How could the rotten water, hungry for new content, leave this unknown area alone?

shit! You gave me a crap! You all know that!

I knew I had no choice but to go, so no matter what happened, it wasn’t my fault, so I just let it go! Such a beggar!

I was trying to relieve the anger building up in my heart by banging on the bed when Erin, who had been sleeping at the head of the bed, slowly raised her head.

Then, he made eye contact with me, who was fluttering, and then quickly got up from his seat.

“Ah. miss! Are you awake!?”

“You won’t know it if you look at it?”

“How is your body? Is there anything strange? When you say you’re thirsty or hungry…”

“Sloppy Erin. Do you think it makes sense for a maid to press her master? Don’t yelp like a cat in heat and keep your mouth shut.”

“…I’m sorry.”

After calming Erin down, I rolled down the blue window and turned on the light in the room.

There’s still a while until morning, but that doesn’t mean I can’t sleep. Let’s hear what happened after I fell.

“That lady.”

“? Nya nya nya?”

“…Yes?”

“The cat was meowing again, so I answered in cat language. Come on, cat. Answer me.”

“Uh huh. that. What?”

“Phew. Do you do it because you tell it to? My cat was a dog?”

“nya… no. Not this. miss. Haven’t you grown a little taller?”

“Over there. You bitch. Please know that there are some things that no matter how much you should not touch. It’s true that I’m a kind, compassionate, and cute girl, but I’m not a pushover who openly accepts pranks, right?”

It’s true that I think well of Erin, but I can’t tolerate her torturing her hopes with her keys.

There’s no way I can be tall when the poor god is sitting in the sky.

That pedo bastard is a pervert who will make noises like ugh while getting his head stepped on by a girl.

There’s no way a guy like that would allow me to grow taller.

“No. This time your maid is right.”

The stupid fox that was sleeping under the window stretched with a voice and immediately jumped down the window.

“Lucy You have grown a little taller now. I can guarantee that I looked at you more closely than anyone else.”

I got goosebumps seeing a stupid fox confidently talking about things that only a sex offender would say, but other than that, what he said was trustworthy.

There is no way that a perverted fox who likes pretty things so much that he would even sell his soul would make a wrong judgment about my appearance.

I jumped out of bed and stood in front of the dressing table, just in case.

‘under. grandfather.’

‘Right?! Aren’t my eyes weird?! ‘You’ve grown up, right?!’

My height reflected in the mirror had clearly grown.

Some people might say that it is only a difference of a finger joint at most, but the meaning of this growth to me was special.

I thought I would never be able to grow taller as long as I had the Mesugaki skill.

I thought I would never be able to grow as long as the poor Pedo Jusin exercised his personality to the fullest!

I grew taller!

He grew taller!

what?

Why?

As the level of divinity increased, why did the height that did not change even when the body changed grow?

There must be some reason!?

Now my brain, which has become more intelligent and free from being called an idiot, soon came up with an answer.

miracle.

Miracle of purification!

That’s what made me grow taller!

It’s clear! Other than that, there is nothing else that can make me taller!

…what? But isn’t it a bit strange to think about it this way?

The reason my height doesn’t grow is a penalty to my Mesugaki skill.

And the one who gave me, that is, Lucy, the Mesugaki skill was a poor master.

The miracle of purification is ultimately the power to defeat evil, so why does it affect the Mesugaki skill?

Because it’s a miracle? Since the skill is so bad, does it cancel all penalties regardless of the enemy?

No, but if it’s right to eliminate the penalty, shouldn’t my tone of voice also change to normal?

Why is there no change in tone?

Is it not possible to completely eliminate the Mesugaki skill penalty with the power I have now?

…

eww. Head hurts.

I don’t know what’s going on because I can’t accurately demonstrate the skill’s mechanism.

Still, a few things are certain.

The miracle of purification is the means to save me from the Mesgaki skill!

And for perfect salvation, more and nobler divinity is needed than now!

Lastly, I now have achievements to raise my level to divinity!

[How long do fairies sleep?]

My answer to the question posed by Heojeop is simple.

The night is over.

Now all that’s left is to take the blankets away from the sleepyheads who were trying to sleep in the dark with their blankets covered over them.

Phew.

Hehehehe.

You gave me a poor job. You said I would pay rewards based on my achievements, right?

okay. I will prepare a very spectacular sight for you.

Even a petty scoundrel of Agra would be amazed by the scenery.

There won’t be any time to rest for some time. Things you need to prepare too. There are also many procedures to overcome. There are also several people needed to finish this job cleanly.

Because there are a lot of them.

ah. Of course, I have to solve the midterm exam before that, but this is no problem.

I’ve studied with Joy so far, and my intelligence has improved a lot, so why should I worry?

ruler! come! It’s midterms! I’ll show you that I can crush you without the help of the Dice God!

*

I stayed up all night making plans on paper, and when I saw the morning sun rise, I came out of the room.

The idea isn’t finished yet, but right now it’s more important to see my friends’ faces.

I’ve heard from Goofy Fox, Carl, and Erin that my friends are fine, but I still feel reassured when I see it with my own eyes.

More than anything, I need to let you know that I have grown a whopping 1.3 centimeters!

Feeling that the school uniform that had been tailored to fit my body was a little tight, I lifted my chin with a grin.

‘It’s noisy! What does an old man know about clothes? ‘Don’t ruin my mood, just stay still!’

As I was moving my feet while trying to ignore my grandfather’s scoffing, I tilted my head when I saw many students gathered in the middle of the academy square and making noise.

what? What is it that causes so many kids to gather and make noise since early in the morning? It seems like a notice has been posted.

Ugh. Even if you tiptoe, you can’t see because it’s blocked in front of you. Why is this guy so big and useless?

“Hey.”

When I voiced my frustration, the person standing in front of me turned his head with a frown. And as soon as he made eye contact with me, he got scared and took a step back.

“It’s a mess.”

“Yes. Yes!”

“Get out. Because it stinks.”

“Yes! I’m going out!”

Lucy’s hidden skill. Biting people was still effective.

I walked along the path that came naturally and arrived in front of the notice, and caught my eye on the notice that was newly posted today.

Hmm. Maybe it’s because I’ve grown taller, but it’s okay to raise my head less than before.

[Notice regarding academy leave of absence]

…A leave of absence?

[I feel great responsibility for the accident that occurred this time…]

[Reorganize internal facilities and supplement manpower…]

[This midterm exam will be postponed and will be held next semester…]

no. no. ruler. for a moment. Midterm exams are being postponed?!

So what happens to what I’ve studied so far?

What happens to all the effort I put in just for one midterm exam?
