Legend

"I'm sorry."

"Wow!

It was Arla who found a fairy waving from a tree branch, but there was nothing for the Rays to see the tree branch.

Arla was upset by that situation, but screams at the voices she overheard in her ear.

... It's not strange to be surprised by that adorable voice if only the usual Ara knows, such a scream.

Nevertheless, I don't know why Ara suddenly screamed like that just for the Rays on Seto.

"What's up?

"That, Lord Ray, Lady Elaine... in fact, on my shoulder..."

To Ara's words, Elaine turns back, who could not but was in front of Ara.

At the end of those Elaine's gaze, she saw a fairy standing on Ara's shoulder.

Though the fairy, the first person Elaine saw...... the appearance is completely different from the fairy who almost got caught by Ray and transferred away.

Above and beyond that, it was definitely another individual.

(If you haven't transformed, but)

Ara also knows as a being who comes out with stories like gaga and inheritance about fairies.

This is only the second time I've seen it in person, but even the first time I saw it, I showed surprise behavior, like moving out of Ray's hand and running away.

It was an unmistakable fact that even if the fairies were transforming into another fairy than they were shown such a sight, they would be surprised but convinced.

That's why I'm not sure Ara is really another individual earlier, either, if the presence currently in front of her.

"Fairy!?

Elaine reacts to Ara's words and at the same time Ray reacts quickly again.

From the state he was on Seto's back, he quickly jumped to the ground, pointing that gaze at Ara.

Then, as Ara said, there is a fairy figure on his shoulder.

Now is a good time.

I was Ray trying to secure the fairy while I thought so...

"Wait a minute, please"

That's what the fairy on Arla's shoulder speaks out before Ray goes into action.

"Don't try to catch me in such a hurry, I won't run away. That, if you see us talking like this on purpose, you'll soon find out, won't you?

To the words, Ray wonders what to do.

Normally, you'd be dumber to believe a fairy's words like that.

The prank that the first fairy I met went to was a little too spicy to call it a prank, so I'd rather not be alarmed about it.

... but at the same time it is also true that the fairies at the end of Ray's gaze are friendly, unlike the fairies of earlier times.

I don't see how they imitate things like having a sudden deadly prank without question, even if it's less.

"Are you a fairy?

To Ray's words to ask again, those questioned still say as if they were frightened as they stood over Ara's shoulder.

"What else does it look like? Could I look like a monster or something?

"... I don't know"

In the current lay, it is true that a fairy is close to a half-monster.

That's why when counting numbers, it's not something like one or two, because we're counting one or two.

Now anyway, it's very different compared to treating a Lizardman like a sub who didn't make much sense until before and counted as one or two properly.

The neighborhood also probably has something to do with Lizardman being forced to transfer by Whisp and coming to the Trent Forest of their own volition.

Above all, although it was difficult for the Lizardmans to communicate their intentions at first, if they could do that, they would understand Ray's words well and take common sense action.

... with some exceptions.

Gaga or Zaza?

Zozo, who now follows Ray, also initially imitated things like challenging the battle.

Nevertheless, if the fairy is told she looks like a monster against her face, it can't be as funny as it deserves...

"Mm-hmm. Hey, aren't you really treating us like monsters the way you say it now?

"Even if they say so. This is the second time I've seen a fairy in the first place, and the first time I've been imitated like directing an undead over here on the Seremouth Plains, and this one's about to get hit over the head with a monster's body over here. You want me to recognize someone like that as not a monster?

That was an honest thought for Ray, but at the same time gives him a disgruntled look when he says he'd have trouble getting mad at me for that if he tried it on a fairy.

"That being said, it's our raison d 'être to prank, so we can't help it. Pranks are inscribed on instinct."

"... throw away that existential significance, instinct,"

He looks fed up and Ray tells him so.

The prank that fairies do is not very acceptable if you try to be the one who gets hit.

If this is at least what you really deserve to call a prank, then you could still be convinced... Hate and the fairies prank if you try to lay... No, if you try to be someone who plays a prank instead of just lay, it's a substitute that's not very much but can't be expressed by the word prank.

That's why Ray said this, but while he does, he decides that fairies won't be the first to stop the prank or anything.

Whatever you say in the current situation, the fairy on Ara's shoulder won't even be going to hear the words.

"Bu bu! Take away the fairy's raison d 'être!

That's how I see fairies protesting and unconsciously think they're adorable... I guess that's the troublesome place for fairies.

(Speaking of which, have you ever seen or read that animal children are adorable or something to survive? If that's what you mean, is this the same reason why fairy looks and acts like this?

Even so, Ray opens his mouth to the fairy.

"With your pranks, this one could be devastated. That could be the worst thing that could happen to you, right?

"If you say so, I don't know."

I guess it's this ease, or the kind of words that don't think ahead, that make you seem like a fairy in a way.

Of course, it's not very funny as a prank.

Nevertheless, as the fairy herself said earlier, prank for the fairy is close to instinctive behavior.

No matter how much Ray tells you, you won't be able to imitate things like stopping pranks first.

While understanding that from the fairy's appearance, Ray stops while he tries to say something more to such a fairy.

You can be thoroughly dissatisfied with the fairies here, but imitating them like that just upsets the fairies.

If so, I needed to talk to the fairy now, before I could do that.

Ray walks around the Trent woods with Elaine only to make contact with the fairy… to ask what he came here for.

"Well, anyway about that neighborhood... don't even prank like this. That you came all the way out in front of us, you had something to do, didn't you?

"What can I do for you... um, I heard you tried to catch one of our guys, so I thought I'd see what kind of people they were"

"... I see"

It was Ray who told him that like he was scared, but given the fairy's character, it was also convincing.

But did the fairy get dissatisfied with how Ray looked like that or wave dissatisfied over Ara's shoulder?

"Hey, I'm here to see how you're doing, so can I be a little surprised? We basically don't show up in front of people."

"That's to keep you from finding yourself playing a prank, isn't it?

"Ugh..."

Was Ray's words true, fairies get stuck in words?

Most importantly, if you play pranks that often, can there be more fairy sightings? Though Ray was slightly questionable.

"Whatever that is, why did you come to this forest... the Trent Forest?

"Huh? 'Cause it felt good about magic, and the atmosphere felt good to us somehow."

It felt good, somehow, good.

They were all ambiguous expressions, but I was also convinced of such expressions if I thought they were about fairies.

Only, it seemed to Ray that a fairy would follow his sensibilities.

"So you're saying the Trent Forest is cozy?

"That's right."

To Ray's words, a fairy who snorts so lightly.

... To be honest, Ray is a little confused that I didn't expect him to snort so lightly.

While confused, I could have predicted that a good number of fairies would be coming to the Trent Forest from the words of this fairy.

"Let me ask you something, how long have you been in the Trent Forest?... If I could, it would be helpful if there wasn't too much."

"One drink."

"... no, tell me the exact number"

"One drink."

It was Ray asking again, but the only thing that came out of the fairy's mouth was still the word one drink.

Can't you count the numbers? I thought so, but Ray also understands that fairies are highly intelligent.

Beyond that, it was easy to predict that there would be a good reason not to give the exact number.

"The numbers are good for now. Does the cozy nature of Trent's forest mean you're willing to live here?

"Um, I don't know. I haven't decided on that area yet... but I think it'll probably be like that. This forest, is it Trent's forest? It's really comfortable."

"... right"

In a way, the worst anticipation has been in the wrong shape.

Nevertheless, this forest of Trent is once owned by the lord of Gilm, Dusker.

But given the fairy's character, what's wrong with this place because it's someone's private property? There will be no way I care about things like that at all.

That's why this situation was the closest thing to the worst for Ray.

"Currently, we... our people are cutting down this Trent forest tree... precisely. I suppose that will eventually also cut down where the fairies are..."

"Hmmm.... if you can do it, why don't you?

The words showed that if we were going to cut trees where we were, we would resist, and that was how we behaved.

Bad news is, as far as Ray knows, all the fairies can use magic.

It's not that you can use preliminary magic, it's that you use powerful magic.

Ray doesn't even know exactly how many fairies there are.

But given that the fairy in front of me was serving a glass and a mouthful, I'm pretty sure there's probably quite a few of them.

... Although there are actually only a few of them, I could never deny the possibility that they are deceptive.

(Nevertheless, if the fairy really cares about it, it's hard to deal with it even over here. somehow metastasis capability...... it also has a higher performance metastasis capability than the seven-color scaly dragonias had)

The metastatic ability of the dragonias of the seven colored scales that Ray fought for was very troublesome for those who fought.

However, the distance that could be transferred was very short and could not be imitated such as disappearing from Ray's sight.

But fairies aren't.

At least not least, the fairy Ray encountered before lunch is transferring from Ray to an invisible location in a single transfer.

(Well, this is in the woods, so I can't deny the possibility that I simply moved from here to an invisible place)

The place we fought Dragonias was underground space.

That is the vast space, created by the Queen in the spiritual magic of the earth.

Because it was so vast a space, there was almost no place for it to hide.

Compared to such a place, it is in Trent Forest that the Rays are currently present.

It is also a place where the scavengers have not yet logged at all.

Beyond that, it was the countless places to hide that existed.

If a fairy escaped from Ray's hand with a transfer using a circle of fairies, hidden in nearby tree branches and bushes, it would have been difficult to find even the Rays.

Beyond that, as Ray, I needed to find out exactly how well the fairies had the ability to metastasize.

"Neither do we want to imitate that from the beginning. But this Trento forest tree is an absolute necessity now that we're working on an extra building in the city a little further away from here, Gilm…"

"So you're telling us to leave?

"I won't say that. But don't we need to walk over more than each other has business in this Trent forest? There are people over here who can encourage the growth of plants called green people.... What do you say?

In the words of Ray, the fairy gave an interesting expression to the words of those who could encourage the growth of plants.
