Green people who can grow plants.

Yes, Ray said, and the fairy who was listening over Arla's shoulder showed obvious surprise.

(Can you do this?

Ray had expectations about how such a fairy would look, but at the same time questions such as why the fairy showed interest in such a situation.

If it was an elf, not a fairy, it lived in nature, so I could be convinced even if I was interested in green people with the ability to grow plants.

But fairies and elves are very different.

... At least Ray had such an image.

Nevertheless, although it was only an image of Ray, there was also no denying the possibility that the elves and fairies were in fact close.

"Don't you think we can walk over each other? I think you're interested in green people, too."

"It's..."

In Ray's words, the fairy gives a look like it's gone.

You thought we had failed for being spotted on our own thoughts.

... In fact, Ray thought that if we poke around it, we could do something about it, so that decision is never wrong.

"What do you say? If you keep doing this, you're gonna get a lot of damage, too, right?

That can be said to be a half-direct threat.

The fairy also sees the Rays and understands that the threat is never great.

A fairy is definitely a magically good species.

But it's never good in terms of direct combat power.

It doesn't mean you're not aggressive at all, and you can definitely defeat them normally against the opponents around there.

But now in front of the fairies are rays, Elaine, Arla and Seto, gathered of powerful people - which is not necessarily the case at present in relation to the additions - among the guilds, those who fall into the category of the strong.

Among other things, two and one other than Ara can be said to be even better chosen among the strong.

In front of such opponents, I didn't think fairies could fight and win, either.

If this is not a place like Gilm, but a more normal... not a border, it could have been difficult for an adventurer to beat a fairy against him.

Most of all, what the fairies asked for was a story in the Trent Forest, which was created because the Trent Forest is a frontier.

More than that, I guess it's a natural consequence that the fairies are in this place.

"What do we do?

To Ray urging him to reply, the fairy thinks a little...... eventually opens his mouth.

"Okay. I'll let the chief know. I'm not the only one who can decide about us."

"Okay, okay."

While convinced by the fairy's words, Ray gives a slightly surprising look.

Given the fairy's character, anything is appropriate... and that's what I thought it wouldn't be strange to decide somehow.

In fact, it was no surprise that fairies such as the fairies Ray encountered on the Seremouth Plains and the fairies that he had managed to capture earlier in this Trent forest decided about his future with things like atmosphere.

(I mean, it's not that only the chief I met on the Seremouth Plains is special, but that some fairies are usually smart... Is that why you have a common sense guy?

If I knew Ray well, it wouldn't have been strange to have complex thoughts about being praised for being so commonsense by Ray... fortunately, this fairy has only just met Ray and dating him is never a long time.

"Well, I'm going to ask you a few questions, so just wait here"

When told to do so, the fairy disappears with a circle of scaly powder like the fairy Ray encountered earlier.

I saw it earlier, but I guess if you still look at it up close like this, the fairy's ability to metastasize means that you can also metastasize for quite a long distance.

(Like the dragonias of the seven-colored scales, it seems that they can only be transferred nearby)

There is no certainty whatsoever.

Maybe they moved to places like tree branches and bushes nearby and flew straight to where their chief was, but given what the confident fairy looked like earlier, it seemed somewhat different.

Of course, it doesn't seem that way for any reason, it's because it's almost half-baked.

"So, Ray. What are we gonna do now? You wanna wait here for that fairy to come back?

To Elaine's words, Ray ponders for a few seconds before nodding.

"Right. If we don't get out of here, we won't be able to make contact with that fairy when she gets back.... What's more troublesome is that you can negotiate at the whim of a fairy, and the response may be slightly altered by the absence of us"

As for Ray, who knows the whim of a fairy, it's no surprise that the next moment he says something like 'I knew it, I knew it'.

Of course, it wasn't like there was anything I thought was going on about such a fairy, but still, given the current situation, you should keep in mind.

"Shall we take a break, then? Dear Elaine, Lord Ray, would you like to prepare some tea?

They tell me I'm going to rest, and Ara says it that way.

If you try it Ara, you have the impression that resting is drinking tea.

Of course, that's only what I can say because this is the place right now, and I don't say that when I'm moving as a Knights.

... In the first place, Ara is more than the head of Elaine's Knights Escort. Normally, she doesn't imitate that Knights Commander makes tea for others when he acts as a Knights.

"The tea... considering the smell, shouldn't it be stopped? Now, though."

Subtly unconvincing, just Ray's words imitating things like eating baked udon that smells like sauce burning in Trent's woods.

Black tea also gives aroma to the surrounding area, but compared to such tea, baked udon is definitely above in terms of the intensity of the smell.

"Really? Well, let's give up tea."

Earla whines in a sorry way.

Try Ara, I guess there was something closer to Ningro's hobby than brewing tea against beloved Elaine is a job......

But I guess that's how you understood that given the current situation, it's not the kind of situation that I can say the least.

"In the meantime, suppose we still eat this and wait a lot?

Tell him so, Ray gives it to Elaine and Arla when he takes out the cold fruit from the mistering...... the fruit with a flavour and texture close to the pear.

For Ray, pear is an impression of autumn fruit.

In that sense, I guess it's not seasonally right now in the middle of summer...... what Ray has is only a fruit similar to a pear, not a pear.

Not to mention the fact that pears are autumn fruits is only an impression of Ray.

Nothing. Even if I ate pears other than autumn, that wasn't particularly reprehensible.

"Thanks"

"I'll have it."

Elaine and Arla say thank you to Ray and then cling to the cold fruit.

Luminous texture with plenty of moisture and sweetness.

Influenced by the cold, the fruit moistens Elaine and Ara, it and Seto's throat.

Of course, not only Elaine and the others, but Ray was eating the fruit as well.

"It's delicious."

Smudging and grunting Arla.

In fact, the words were of the same opinion to other facets.

That's why Ray, who took the fruit out, also loosens his cheeks to its delicacy.

Wait for the fairy...... thats what could be a huge disturbance rocking the guilm in some cases, but the Rays don't look particularly nervous.

I guess it's because I've been through the same turmoil before.

"Still, you're a fairy.... How far do you think you can hide this from me?

"Normally, it wouldn't be possible first. In the first place, it will come out necessary to inform Father at the moment when he is known to me, and then others will know the circumstances, and the information will flow naturally to the Kings as well.... unfortunately."

Among those who belong to the aristocracy, in fact, there are those who are the hands of the Kings.

Or someone close to a royalist nobleman.

... Or if only pride is the nobility of the high nobility, the nobility of the kings will speak light if they incite a little.

In order not to do so, the Duke of Kelp needs to stop the fairy information at his place.

"If I ask my father, he'll be able to stop the information to some extent... but that's only a matter of time, too, right?

"I guess."

The Trent Forest thing...... Birth towers, lakes, and underground spaces and fairies with whispers.

Little is known about these matters yet, but still much is known about the Lizardmans.

That spread to drunken pimps and adventurers in the tavern as bragging, or to sleep stories after holding a whore in a whorehouse.

Other than that, information-gathering is taking place in various locations.

Beyond that, it would not be such a distant story for aristocratic nobles and kings to be able to obtain information about the towers and lakes of birth.

As for the whispers and fairies in the underground space, there are really limited people who know, so there would be no such thing as information being known so easily.

"Anyway, I'd better solve one of the fairy cases as soon as I can before strange rumors spread... this isn't all something I can do at my discretion"

If this were not a fairy, but a kind of monster that would do harm to others, Ray would have been able to use such means as extermination without having to struggle so far.

But Hate and his opponent are fairies. It is intelligent and capable of communicating with the Rays.

Beyond that, I definitely should have talked about it in negotiations rather than imitating things like destroying it in a detour.

"Besides, fairies have their own culture. In that sense, you'd be better off making a good deal."

"Unique culture, huh?... Well, given all that intelligence, I guess that's natural too"

Two that Ray met in Trent Forest...... no, three, including a fairy who escaped the moment he first saw Ray's face, but those fairies had a strong self and a high intelligence.

It's no stranger to have your own culture than it is.

... the only difficulty is that it doesn't stop the prank, even though it has intelligence and its own culture?

Such a prank that sometimes you might even take your life.

Not to mention, from what Ray sees, fairies set up pranks regardless of who they're dealing with.

That's not just who you're dealing with here like Ray and Elaine... it's also against people like Dusker.

On top of that, it's not hard to imagine how hard it is to handle a fairy because he plays a prank that could take his life.

"Anyway, I hope you're all right if you can.... what do you think of that area?

"Ah? They found me."

Ray was in the direction of his voice, the fairy earlier.

If that fairy had just returned, there would have been nothing particularly wrong with it.

... However, if I saw that I had some kind of plant seed in my hand, I couldn't be more alert to it.

"What's that seed? Didn't you go talk to the chief?

"Haha. Yeah, I heard you, of course. This is... a little tea eye I guess"

"... so? What kind of seed is that?

Ray asks the fairy who tries to delude him in exactly the same tone as he did a few seconds ago.

The fairy manages to escape the pursuit...... inadvertently throws the seed nowhere.

"Ah."

I guess it was for unexpected behavior. Surprising voices leak out of Ara's mouth in unexpected ways.

"Hey, what the hell are you going to do?

"Haha. I don't know what you're talking about. More than that, see. They told me to negotiate, so take me to your chief's place."

You don't want to be pursued for much longer, the fairy tells me so, while trying not to make me say anything more about the earlier species.

As far as Ray is concerned, I'm extra interested in the seeds.

(What the hell was that? I'm in a hurry to see it, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't something)

Shall I pursue it further here?

That's what I thought, Ray, but the fairy opens her mouth to control it.

"Yeah, well, you haven't introduced yourself yet. I'm Nielsen. Nice to meet you."

If it only looked like it, the expression blossoming grin gave her the adorable grin she deserved, and that's what the fairy told her.
