The queen of fairies slowly opens her eyes and laughs, intoxicated by the scent of flowers flowing in from around her.

– Queen!

– You are beautiful today too!

– I brought you flowers!

As soon as the queen opens her eyes, the fairies who have been waiting for it come to her, boasting about the flowers they each brought and claiming that they are superior to each other.

The queen, who was accustomed to such complaints, was comforting the fairies by saying that they were all beautiful, but tilted her head when she heard a commotion coming from afar.

“Have guests come from outside?”

– yes! Lots of cool people!

– Everyone is so amazing!

– that’s right! amazing!

Seeing the fairies praising them like this, the guests from outside are probably people who are very close to heroes.

Now that I think about it, I recently heard that a group of warriors were coming to this place from another forest. Could it be that the heroes chosen by the great Lord themselves have come here?

“Everyone. I’m just asking out of curiosity, but are you playing a prank on them?”

– yes!

– Nothing works!

– Everyone tried their best, but they failed!

– What would happen if we just did a little more?

The Fairy Queen, who felt the corners of her lips trembling, gave words of praise to the fairies who asked her if she had done well, then hurriedly headed to the place where the commotion was occurring.

Those people are heroes whom the Great Lord allowed to enter the Fairy Forest! You must never cause trouble to them!

The Fairy Queen ran at a desperate speed that made her wonder if she had ever run this fast before. Soon, she found a group of warriors caught up in the fairies’ pranks.

“…You have to be this noble to be chosen by the Lord Himself.”

The praise that flows from the Fairy Queen’s mouth, along with her awe, flows out of the dream and spreads throughout the forest filled with darkness.

However, there is no one anywhere in the forest who can listen to the queen’s sleep talk.

The fairies who were engulfed in darkness lost their senses a long time ago, the lives that were supposed to form the forest cannot even sprout buds on the withered earth, and the energy of the evil spirit that filled the barrier only obeys the new master. .

“…”

The call that comes with the Queen’s happy smile cannot reach anyone.

To the great archmage who heard her last words. Even to the little boy who suddenly appeared and risked his life to fight for her.

“I…”

Her tossing and turning, as she repeats the happy dream she must have had hundreds or thousands of times, becomes more and more intense as time goes by.

The fairies, who had lost their senses and were completely subordinate to the queen, had a hunch as they watched the tossing and turning.

The fact that the queen’s dream will soon come to an end.

“Damn. Was it a defeat that I personally approached the vicinity of the barrier?”

When Erginus relayed the story he heard to the Fairy Queen, or more precisely, to the piece in the chicken coop, Erginus let out a curse.

“If the fragment wakes up and intervenes in the forest, it is only a matter of time before she wakes up. There is no time to relax.”

“Then shouldn’t we just attack the forest as soon as the magic is ready?”

When Benedick, who was listening to the story with Erginus, asked a question, Erginus shook his head.

“I also want to do that, but there are prerequisites before that. We must enter there and concentrate the energy of the evil spirit before the barrier collapses. Otherwise, the energy of the dark evil spirit will spread throughout the world.”

Isn’t it okay to just do “? How many Mencius are gathered here? That’s it.”

“The problem is that if unauthorized people enter the barrier, there is a high probability that the Fairy Queen will wake up.”

If someone who is not welcome enters the barrier, the Fairy Queen will wake up from her sleep due to the discomfort.

Then, the Fairy Queen, who has been cultivating her strength in the forest for a long time, will personally destroy the unstable barrier, and her existence will become a disaster and spread throughout the world.

“Does permission refer to the people Lucy was looking for yesterday and today?”

“Accurate.”

“…That means that those who can go in there have been there today. I guess it’s just Lucy and her friends.”

“Originally, I was planning on following along myself, but I guess I can’t do that now that I found out that my presence was disturbing the queen’s sleep.”

Benedick and Erginus’ eyes turn to me. There was anxiety in Erginus’ eyes.

We’re not sure if we can pull off the most important part of the plan on our own.

On the contrary, paradoxically, what was in Benedick’s eyes was worry and faith.

I wonder if my friends and I will be okay, but on the other hand, I think that if it were me, I would definitely achieve a miracle. Perhaps it is because in the past, I witnessed myself performing a miracle with my own eyes.

“Lucy Arlen.”

“Why?”

“Is it possible?”

After pondering for a while, Erginus asked a question that made me laugh without realizing it.

Is it possible? Is this something you want to ask in this situation?

“I knew that Jintta Wizard had a lack of sense of reality, but I didn’t expect his mind to be this empty. Is now the time to say things like that?”

“I know that the situation is not favorable. But.”

under. This guy really talks a lot. Was it like this even when you were a warrior’s companion? If that were the case, I think I would really want to grind my chin every day.

As I was about to ask my grandfather a question, I remembered that I had just given him the worst punishment for being a stupid fox.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have postponed the punishment a little later. It’s unfortunate, but I have no choice but to take care of it myself.

I approached Erginus with a look of frustration on my face and, ignoring his questioning face, stuck my fist into his solar plexus.

“Meaningless. Anyway, my body is a mimic… ugh!?”

Erginus rolled around on the floor miserably, as if he had not expected to be hit by a fist full of divinity.

“Didn’t I say that in a cute voice? Don’t ask, but ask. Erginus, I guess you’re such an idiot that you can’t even remember things that happened not long ago?”

Sitting on the chair among the magicians, I tapped his trembling head and urged him to answer.

“You damn kid!”

“Yes. yes. I’m a damn kid. You are such a fool that you should bow to that damn kid.”

Erginus, who had closed his mouth again at the sarcastic voice, soon raised his head as if he had made up his mind.

“…The Queen’s Piece said there was a lot of time left, right?”

“If we believe what the brain-rotten chicken house lady says, it’s barely a week?”

“In that case, let’s assume that the preparation period will be about 5 days and that the decision will be made on the 6th day. Benedick Alln. When will military deployment be completed?”

“The convocation is almost over, so it can be completely organized in about three days.”

“Please prepare it immediately. Because this side will do its best as well.”

I laughed at Erginus, who was pretending to be cool while crawling on the floor as a girl’s ride, and after picking up the old man who was talking about what to do after being beaten by a stupid fox, I called my friends together.

“Joy was called to Lord Erginus. They say there are a lot of things to learn as attributes.”

After checking on everyone except Joey, who would have to stay up all night learning magic, I took off my outer clothing and demonstrated my new armor.

“F. Young-ae. why. Why such manly armor!?”

Fabi’s face turned red and she quickly covered her nose with one hand and turned her head.

“What are you thinking! Lucy Aln! Put on your outerwear quickly!”

Arthur, who was looking at me blankly for a moment, got scared and covered his eyes with his hands.

“In the end, you chose this armor.”

Carl, who had seen this armor several times, touched his forehead.

“It’s a cool armor, but I think it’s too easy to cut.”

Frey expressed his dissatisfaction with the armor solely from the perspective of practicality.

I knew there would be complaints from the moment I put this armor on.

Nevertheless, the reason I wore armor that did not look like this during practice was because it was absolutely necessary.

“Sloppy perverts. Even at times like this, you can only think dirty thoughts? It’s really terrible that I have to take these guys with me as my colleagues.”

“ and. indeed! You must have some intention! Right! Otherwise, there would be no way for you to wear such ridiculous armor!”

“Reason? What is it?”

“It’s training. If you don’t want to be possessed by the bugs in the forest, you have to get used to them.”

If my prediction is correct, the dungeon presented to me by the Fairy Queen’s fragment will be a miniature version of what will unfold within the barrier.

It’s been stuck in there for hundreds of years, and there’s no way it could have created anything other than that.

If you imagine how much creativity the sculpture of a guy who just slept like a loser in life would have, there is a high possibility that the answer I came up with would be right.

So, you have to prepare for the fairy’s temptation. Otherwise, you might get possessed by the fairy’s dance and do some stupid things.

“No matter what the insects trapped in the barrier show, they are no prettier than me, right? So, if you get used to me, you won’t be able to look at me with pitiful eyes even if those bugs run amok.”

The effectiveness of the fairy dance was fully confirmed in the last confrontation with the 1st Knights.

If you can withstand the charm that even the kingdom’s elite cannot withstand, you will never fall victim to the fairies’ pranks.

“I’ll give you lots of rewards, so be happy and step on them. Poor guys.”

When I spoke with a playful smile, four people, no, three people except Arthur, who still had his head down, nodded slowly.

Oh, why is he acting like such a slob again? One o’clock is urgent.

Annoyed, I walked quickly and made eye contact with Arthur, who lowered his head.

Reddened face. Blood dripping from between the hand covering the mouth. Eyes that have nowhere to go.

“Hmm.”

It’s difficult. I haven’t even started working properly yet and this is happening. I can’t help it. Should I prescribe some extreme medication?

“Perverted♡ Disgusting♡”

I tried to provoke him so that I couldn’t even think about anything else, but my choice wasn’t right.

Arthur, who was looking at me with a grin, stumbled and soon fell backwards.
