Lesson 8: The Fairy's Destiny
Fairy hometown.
It was a fantasy place where all the fairies lived before they were born. Nature spreads around a giant tree, the Divine Tree, and it uses a number of flowing rivers as waterways.
Walking along the river, two girls approached Miel.
I see it, sir!
Awwww!
Sticking to her legs, she raised her face from a knee height and looked at Miel.
"Um......"
Miel is having trouble responding. She is now responsible for guiding us, the Saviors, to the Fairyland.
But after a while, the girls' mothers bowed their heads and took it back.
The children were unfortunate to be taken away, but the two mothers saw that Miel was in the middle of an important task.
"I'm sorry. Let's play together next time."
Yeah!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Two girls are waving their hands hard.
The mother was desperately bowing her head, and the women who were watching the situation of their mother and daughter were smiling at the sight of something smiling. Unlike his rough tone, Miel was familiar with the residents of Fairyland.
Yeah?
I noticed it when I saw the idle sight.
"... is there only a woman?"
I naturally noticed something from my mouth.
Miel and the two gatekeepers who appeared on her behalf were also women, as was Alba, who was like an elder. I looked around, but all I could see was a woman, and I couldn't find a man at all.
Is there only a female fairy?
"That's right. The majority of the flesh is made up of magic, and it is no different from humans except that it is long-lived." But there's a special way to be born. "
A fairy is born with the blessing of a god tree.
One day, a small tree nut fell on the ground, and the fairy who picked it up was given the role of a mother. It has nothing to do with the fairies. Still, they loved themselves as their children.
The Elves were closer, considering that they had a long life. However, the elves do not stop just because aging is slow. However, the fairy quietly took her breath when her lifespan came while keeping her youthful figure.
"My father is not in Fairyland."
That's why you're wary of me, the only man in the party.
I didn't have the feeling that I was afraid of that.
"I've never seen a man before."
“Yeah. Someone got lost, by the way.”
Their presence was precious to the fairy.
"This town is completely isolated from the outside world."
The supplies needed to survive, such as food, are not troubled by the presence of forests.
Entertainment is rarely lost, and information such as knowledge and technology can be obtained on a regular basis.
A closed world.
Fairyland was a world worthy of being called that.
“You don't think I'm going out there?”
How did you do that?
"That's..."
This time, Miel and the others were able to go outside the fairy village as gatekeepers. However, it is only because of the miracle of the divine tree that the world was connected to the world.
Of course, there was a fairy who tried to go outside the fairy village in the past.
"Every fairy lives near a god tree." I've never heard of Atai, but maybe somebody's still alive, far away from the tree. ”
Thinking like that, I left my hometown and went on a journey.
But I never heard what happened to Miel after that.
"The fairy has no choice but to live near the god tree." That's why the presence of people who come from the outside is precious. "
Just listening to the story makes me excited.
The fairy lifestyle is only visible from here. You can hear footsteps rushing by as you gaze at them in a calm way.
Miel-sama!
A girl in her late teens carrying a cage. I almost had the illusion that I was a human, but there was a translucent feather on the girl's back, and I could tell from the quality of my magic that she was a fairy.
"Good luck with your crusade. I can't fight, but I've picked some medicinal herbs to help.”
The girl's cage was packed with medicinal herbs.
"What...! Did you even go out of town?!"
“It's okay, I'll be out in the morning, and I'll only be back by evening.”
"Even so, my hometown is still in danger." What are you going to do if something happens! "
"I-I 'm sorry..."
A girl drifted by scolding.
But I soon realized we were behind Miel.
"A man...? Who are these people?"
Girls are not the only ones. The fairy in my hometown has been watching me for a long time, but among them, I was a male.
"Saviors invited from the outside."
"Are these the ones you like! Please help us.”
When you join hands and offer prayers, you enter your own house holding a cage. If herbs are going to have a big effect, I'd better mix them up. There must be work for that.
Crusade, huh. That's what's bothering you.
Yeah.
He wanted a gatekeeper, someone stronger than them.
Then their problems will naturally be limited.
"The gatekeeper... was in trouble because some of the fairies were stronger than the powerful warrior Miel." That's why you wanted someone stronger. "
"Correct"
I knew they were looking for pure combat prowess.
However, since I did not know the information about the opponent, I did not relax my vigilance while being guided to the hometown.
What bothered me was that I couldn't find the Enemy. It's definitely attracting attention, but I can't find anything hostile in it.
So, who are the enemies?
If we don't find it in Sylvia, it's hard to find it.
But I didn't have to find out from the beginning. The fact that a crusade was necessary was known to ordinary people and girls alike. The enemy is already well known and the entire race is in danger.
"It would be helpful if you could tell me when the sun goes down."
"I know what you guys are capable of. Therefore, I can predict that they will not struggle."
"They..."
"It's faster to show them than to explain them in words. That's why I've been waiting."
The sun sets and the forest begins to dye red.
- Batan!
- Batan!
- Batan!
Immediately after that, the doors and windows of the township were closed at the same time, making a loud noise.
"What, what!?"
Noel was surprised at the sound she didn't expect at all.
Each one is a small sound, but if it echoes simultaneously, it is large enough to surprise people.
"The fairy is very cooperative." That's why everyone follows the rules. "
If there is an attack, evacuate the building.
Normal behavior, but difficult for hundreds of people to carry out.
"I want to ask the Saviors to eliminate the [enemy]." The enemy appears only in the evening when the sun is setting. "
The timing didn't seem to be wrong, and you can hear crawling sounds like rustling.
