"Ray, did the fairy... let him get away?

Elaine sees Ray approaching us and asks that with some surprise.

No way, because I didn't think Ray would do something like let the fairy get away with it.

"Oh. I did think I captured you with this hand. It was like an illusion, disappearing from the palm of my hand"

"Wasn't that, in fact, an illusion? I hear fairies are good at magic. I wonder if it's strange that Lord Ray used magic, too."

To Ara's words, Ray shook his neck to the side.

"No, it's not an illusion. I definitely felt a touch on the fairy blade with my palm.... Well, if the magic the fairies use is such as to mislead them to the touch, it's good luck."

"... what do you think? Though I think it's a good enough possibility. What do you think of Lady Elaine?

"I've heard of such magic. But when they say if a normal fairy can use such magic... that's a subtle place. I know fairies are good at magic."

It was Elaine who shows how troubled she is, but I think Ray is less likely to be.

At any rate, fairies make it a top priority to do pranks.

For such a fairy, magic that creates illusions... if it also becomes an illusion that even has a touch rather than just an illusion, there will be no magic that is so convenient to use for pranks.

Nevertheless, as Ray, I have the feeling that the feeling I grabbed is not an illusion or anything, but a real one.

Above all, it's gone now, but even the scales of light were actually on the palms.

Given that, the fairies still only seem real.

And when the fairy disappeared in his palm more than he was a real fairy...

"Have you ever heard of fairies with metastatic abilities, not illusions?

"... the ability to metastasize? There's talk of fairy rings, fairy circles that use what's called fairy circles to transfer, but that's just a gag, isn't it?

That's what Elaine says in reaction to the word metastatic ability, but Ray gives the word a more agreeable look.

That's it... that's when they really got away with a situation where they could have captured the fairy if they had even a moment more time.

If they still told me I had the ability to metastasize, there was something I could be convinced of.

(Fairy Circle...... that's a word I remember hearing in something)

Words like Fairy Circle out of Elaine's mouth sound familiar and I think a little...... eventually I remember.

(Right. You were in Japan. I think we were talking about mushrooms and sticky fungus.... I don't even know why mushrooms and sticky fungus became known as Fairy Circles)

In fact, a fairy circle is also referred to as a fungus wheel, referring to the phenomenon of mushrooms growing in circles on the ground.

I guess that became known as Fairy Circle because of inheritance and gaga.

Ray sounded familiar with the word Fairy Circle because he saw such a feature on TV.

"But... it was a little surprising that the fairy had the ability to metastasize, and now it's more important to make contact with the fairy"

The ability to metastasize means a lot.

That would be obvious if we looked at the dragonias of the seven-colored scales that Ray fought in different worlds.

Even if it was a short-range metastasis, it was a nasty opponent.

If you can transfer long distances enough to disappear from what you can see, the fairy matters one step... no, it's not surprising to think that the bunk or third steps have gone up.

Above all, if we can figure out that metastasis capability and the Rays can metastasize it, it makes a lot of sense.

… In fact, the Bestian Empire has successfully developed items for transfer as a magic item, but there are many constraints, although it is there that can only be transferred.

(Even if it's impossible to develop a magic item, if you can at least be friendly with a fairy, you might cooperate with me in its ability to transfer.... Given the fairy's character, it seems a lot harder)

Having metastatic abilities doesn't change my personality as a fairy prank lover.

It would be very dangerous to ask Ningro such a fairy to transfer more than just do it fine, even if it is a dying prank.

If that's what you did poorly, you could suddenly be thrown out a hundred meters above, even though you can't scaffold the air like Ray did.

Normally, that would be the same as killing an opponent and not included in the scope of the prank.

But... in the case of fairies, they still usually imitate that as a prank.

From one incident on the Seremus Plains, Ray understood it better than anyone else on this scene.

"Anyway, I could confirm that there was a fairy. So is Ara, huh?

When Elaine turns her gaze to Ara, she nods back, of course.

"I listened to Ray and believed that there was a fairy, but by actually seeing it with my own eyes, it was huge that I could definitely confirm its appearance.... don't you?

"It's, well"

To Elaine's words, Ray returns so with dissatisfaction.

Elaine and the others had never seen the fairies, but Ray was sure they existed.

Even if Elaine were told that what she saw was a harvest, more than that, if she was honestly convinced, that would be no.

"I hear fairies prefer pranks. It's subtle if I can say a prank against Ray...... but if that prank fails anyway, how do you think the fairy will come out next? I think I'm going to hang on to Ray again because I failed once"

"That's possible.... The question is, do we just have one next time they set us up, or do we bring some other guys? Which one do you think?

"I don't know that much about fairies either, so I can't say which. But... as far as Ray and I were talking a little bit, I felt like I was coming back."

Buh, buh, buh.

That's what Ray's like to Elaine, who tells Ray as she remembers the fairy she escaped? And I doubt it.

I don't think it would be stranger to come here with more fairies to gather their strength than it was to be caught by me.

(Nevertheless, if there are many fairies coming, it will mean more chances of catching them. … but when you have the ability to metastasize, is it pointless to catch things like that? Because I need to talk to you before I catch you... if you're willing to listen to this one)

Given the fairy's character, I don't think Ray would honestly listen to that, at least if he called out to want to talk.

To be honest, if you capture it, but you run away with the metastasis, that's what you can't hit your hands with.

"When a fairy has the ability to metastasize, it's very troublesome."

"Mm-hmm. If Ray wanted to capture it, he couldn't capture it, but if he wanted to metastasize it, he could metastasize it right away."

Even in this respect, it is very different from the magic items developed by the Bestian Empire.

If you can transfer to wherever you want when you want, it's practically impossible to capture them.

"When you do, you still need to talk to me without getting mad at me for pranking you"

"... is that all there is"

Ara's suggestion was natural.

But it's harder for Ray not to get mad at me for playing such a prank.

... but if that's all I have, I'll have to take that method.

"When you do, will you look for the fairy again? … well, before that"

Darrawolf's body, which apparently fell from a pretty high position, was supposed to be pretty bad.

Although it did not adhere to the rays, the ground and the trees that grow around it are adhered to blood and brain fragments, and the head is almost shapeless.

Nevertheless, the body needed to be taken more than the demon stone had yet to be removed and the body could not be left intact.

Softly touch the corpse and store it in the mysterious, with an uncomfortable look on his face.

Though the head is the only one damaged, the gut would be ruptured and the bones crushed more than it was dropped from considerable altitude.

Dismantling such a body is not very interesting to Ray either.

Still, I had to do it myself, more than ask someone.

(Oh, but all I want is the Demon Stone... and do you have anything to ask of the less ranked adventurers in the Guild? I don't know where this Darrawolf crusade proof site is, but you can eat meat and stuff normally, and there's nothing else you can't sell)

Ray doesn't need the kind of Darrawolf material because all he needs for Warcraft is Demon Stone.

Darrawolf is a rank D monster and a low rank - only by Guild standards - and that material would not be rare, either, than it is a monster.

If this is some rare material, Ray also worked hard to strip it off.

"Darrawolf's body is fine, then the question is how do we find the fairy again?"

"After all, can't we just walk around Trent's Forest like before and wait for the fairy to set up a prank? … As earlier, Seto may be able to detect the fairy's location."

"Right.... Seto, I depend on your five senses to find the fairy. Please."

"Gru!"

To Ray's word, leave it to me! and a ringing ceto.

Even in Ceto, finding the existence of a fairy was something I absolutely wanted to do.

... Somehow, I tried to hit Darrawolf's body by falling toward Seto's favorite Ray.

Such an opponent is not acceptable to Seto at all.

You understand how Seto is, Ray strokes Seto's head to calm him down.

"Relax. I don't want to kill that fairy, I just want to capture her.... More importantly, I want to know what's going on over there. On top of that, I want to set up a system of cooperation. More than that, I want you to avoid killing... as much as you can, unless we're in danger."

"...... grrr......"

To Ray's words, Seto rings his throat.

I was unhappy, but if Ray was going to say it, I guess that's what he thought.

We need to stress him out somewhere.

With that in mind, Ray starts riding on Seto's back again with Elaine and the others on Trent's Forest.

"Hey, fairy. Come out. I want to talk."

Ray calls out to his surroundings, thinking it would be better than not to do it... but naturally, there's no way the fairies are going to show up.

Whatever you say in this situation, you understand that the fairy cannot respond to it.

But...... I needed to do that more than have anything else to do with this in the present situation.

"With that said...... Ray. What will Lord Dusker do if he finds a fairy?

"I guess you're going to have a friendly relationship"

"Hmm, still? But... if that story spreads around, I'm sorry.

"Not anymore."

It was Ray who would give that back to Elaine's words, but in fact the extent of it was now more of a story.

Regardless of Trent's Forest, the Lizardmans and Green People who have been transferring there. Plus a birth tower or a lake.

In the underground space of the Trento Forest, Whisp also connects us to different worlds with Centaur and Dragonias.

Even one of these will undoubtedly be a major disturbance if anyone but Dusker finds out.

... That's enough to worry Dasker about not knowing how long he can keep one of these things hidden.

That's why I just added a fairy case there now, and it's not like I care that much.

(Though, considering this way, all those things are happening around this Trent forest, right?... the metastasis relationship is done by Whisp, so it's not weird to wake up around Trent Forest, but whatever you think of one of the fairies)

Where in the Trent woods have fairies gathered?

The fairy Ray saw earlier was a completely different fairy than the one he saw yesterday.

I mean, there are at least two fairies in this Trent forest...... no, they're more likely to be in bulk if Ray's expecting them.

Was this forest of Trento attracted to its peculiarities, just because it was so special?

Though I think so... in the end, I couldn't convince myself of the neighborhood, and I was looking for fairies with Elaine, Ara, and Seto.
