Legend

Ray, who had concluded negotiations with Dusker, was returning to the Trent Forest.

As far as the souvenirs requested by Nielsen are concerned, they are currently housed inside Ray's Mystering.

I don't mind Ray either...

(More than I can get to where the fairies live, in the end Nielsen needs to carry his own souvenirs, okay?

It should be noted that the souvenirs in Mystering are not the only souvenirs that Dusker has prepared for us.

Nielsen wants it even as he leaves the Lords' Hall and travels around the city of Gilm, and he has insisted that this is what he wants.

I guess Dusker, who anticipated this neighborhood in advance and imitated things like giving Ray a few gold coins, is still a man who can.

Most importantly, I suppose Dusker has also given away the gold coins lightly because he thinks that if this negotiation is wrapped up, he will have an income that is nowhere near a few gold coins.

Either way, Ray managed to hold Nielsen back trying to jump out of the dragon robe, while asking Elaine and Arla to buy what Nielsen wanted one after another.

That's really a lot of stuff already.

From sweetness like baked confectionery and fruit to a little trinket.

...... what did you think, to even buy pots like you would use for cooking.

Naturally, it's not the kind of pot that fairies like Nielsen use, it's the pot that humans normally use.

If I tried it on Ray, I wondered why I would buy such a pot, but I also don't have the option to bother buying it if you want Nielsen.

Ray saw it on TV when he was in Japan, reminds me of the sight of a cat in a pot, and maybe a fairy is also a habit of getting in a pot? I thought...... for now, keep that quiet.

"So, which way do I go? There's more to guiding Nielsen than knowing where the fairies live."

"I know.... this way. I can't really take you to the last place, though."

Nielsen, out of the dragon robe, looks just a little sorry.

It is now almost evening and so on, but still the heat of the sun falling during the day remains in the woods, and it is still hot.

Of course, it's a little cooler than outside the Trento Forest.

Still, it's still true that it's hotter than being in a dragon robe, and I guess that wasn't funny to Nielsen.

"What kind of life is a fairy? I don't think it would be that inconvenient if you could make a magic item."

Ray told me from Nielsen that the magic items that fairies make take a lot of time to make one.

Beyond that, even if there were magic items that would make life more convenient, I could have predicted that there would not be that many.

In fact, Nielsen has a subtle look at Ray's words.

What was there seemed to those who watched it, as it showed that Ray's predictions were never wrong.

"Don't think hard, you're definitely enjoying your life. It's not a bad life in that sense."

"... so if I hadn't played a prank on someone else, there would have been nothing wrong with this one, even over here."

Ray squeaks like a smudge as he progresses through the Trent Forest.

If the fairies hadn't imitated the ones who work in the Trent Forest playing pranks, it would have taken longer for the Rays to realize the fairies existed.

Anyway, if you're not playing games, you don't have to walk through Trent's woods, because then when Ray came back from the world where the Centaurs were, you never encountered him.

That way, fairies could still imitate things like living on their own.

"I can't."

Nielsen assures Ray's words so lightly that there is no more.

"As I said during the negotiations, pranks for fairies are like inscriptions in instincts. It's not very much, but you can't just snort when you're told not to play games."

I assure you that Nielsen is confident for some reason.

Is that what Ray is like, in that way? I think.

... If this were any different behavior, I guess Ray would have never questioned it so far either, but somethin 'is a prank.

From my own experience, I really don't think it's strange to stop if you tell me to.

(No, well, I didn't imitate people's lives when I played pranks or anything)

Reminds me of all the pranks I went to when I was a little girl in Japan.

If I recall in this situation now, there were many of those pranks that I thought were probably malicious too, but still nothing that could have killed people.

Because of that experience, I guess there are some things I think about the act of fairy pranks.

"It's not that I'm somehow not convinced... well, that's fine around here. It's been quite a while since I walked into Trent's woods, but can I still move on?

"Right. You can go a little further."

That's how Ray and Nielsen are talking, and Elaine accidentally pinches her mouth.

"Apparently, they don't think so."

With that word, Elaine's hand moves quickly.

Then I accidentally grabbed something that flew in.

It was the fruit that was thrown.

It's not just fruit either, very stiff skin...... no, that's fruit wrapped in something that can no longer be called shell.

In autumn the shell was a fruit that would be able to come off and eat itself inside, but in the immature present state it has the same hardness as the stones around it, and being thrown this way is no different than being thrown stones.

Elaine grabbed the fruit quickly.

... and Ray could easily imagine who did this.

"Nielsen, your people are here. If you don't tell me to stop the prank, I'm gonna have to deal with this one, too?

"I know. Wait a minute."

When told so, Nielsen creates a circle of fairies in Ray's hands to disappear.

buddy...... I guess you're explaining the situation to the person who flew the fruit to Elaine, but I thought so...

"Oh, me too."

Ray, who sees that the same fruit that Elaine took was thrown at herself, takes the fruit.

Not very much, but it was a rate that I don't think the fairy threw...... it's not hard to avoid if you're an average person or someone with some strength.

Naturally, Ray wasn't that hard of a story to take it on, either, beyond being above average in terms of strength again.

"Ara... Needless to say"

Ray, who took the fruit, pranked Elaine and herself...... in a way she attacked him, so she said so, deciding that Ara would be dangerous again, but Ara was taking the fruit with such concern for Ray.

Although hidden by faces like Elaine and Ray, Ara is also a fine man from the public.

That's to such an extent that even adventurers who come together in the Guild can't win so easily.

That's why Ray can't be particularly surprised to see such a sight,

And finally, throwing fruit at Ara, nothing new happens.

(Apparently, Nielsen was able to convince you safely.... you didn't have to imitate it like you would attack from over here)

I guess the metastatic Nielsen explained the situation and stopped the fairies.

I'm relieved by that, and eventually Nielsen flies over the tree branch.

It disappeared in the metastasis, but it's flying in the sky for some reason to come back.

Ray opens his mouth, even as he questions Nielsen's conduct like that.

"So? What happened in the end? We talked about not being able to get to where Nielsen lives... but naturally you carry all the stuff you bought at Gilm from here, right?

"... Huh?

Nielsen shouts surprise at Ray's words.

But soon the face tightens to despair.

Naturally. Anything Nielsen purchases in Guilm will be in good quantity, including food.

If this were a human being, he would be able to imitate something like carry it somehow, but it's impossible to carry it with a little body of fairies first.

But if it is not allowed to bring Ray closer to where the fairies live, it will naturally be Nielsen who carries the luggage.

(I bought Nielsen's luggage, but it doesn't mean Nielsen has to take it all. There are other fairies out there, so I can do things like have them take it... should)

That was Ray thinking he wouldn't have to worry about it for now, but if the fairies were asked if they would listen to Nielsen's request, that would be another story.

With a hand other than Nielsen, I can carry it.

In terms of being able to make that decision, Ray will stop thinking about it for now.

That's why I thought it would be troublesome if we thought deeply here.

"Well, we can't go inside any more, 'cause we're leaving the luggage we kept here. I know it's okay because it's near where the fairies live, but watch out for monsters that might come attracted to the smell of cooking."

Some of the things Nielsen bought at Gilm include skewering.

Meat cooked with sauce gives the area an appetite-stimulating aroma, but that means attracting animals and monsters in places like this.

Still, there's more likely to be some kind of junction tied up than the fairies live in, so I decide that I should just get inside that junction and take out my luggage.

"Huh? Oh, hey... Ray, if you wait a minute!

"If they say so, I can't go any further, can I? Then Nielsen will have to take what's going on. Besides, it's not just Nielsen, you can handle it if you bring the other fairies, too, right?

"That's true... but..."

"What? What's wrong?

And when Nielsen is moaning, he inadvertently hears such a voice.

Ray, who turned his gaze to those who spoke, saw a fairy the size of Nielsen.

However, unlike Nielsen, I really knew where... a fairy with a relaxed atmosphere.

The fairy, who was creating an atmosphere that didn't look like a prankster fairy, looks at Nielsen and then strangely at the Rays.

"Nielsen, why are people here?

The way you ask that doesn't look particularly angry that the Rays are here.

That's how I've been asking because I'm purely questioning you.

"Rabinara... it's unusual for you to come out here"

To Nielsen's slightly shuddered voice, the fairy known as Rabinara opens her mouth with a grin: 'Hahaha'.

"I was flying around in a bit of a mood swing. So I found Nielsen."

"... yes"

It was Nielsen who had something to say, but he decided it was useless to say anything against Rabinara, and that's all he said after all...

"Gru?"

It was Seto watching such an exchange, but accidentally turning back with his throat ringing.

An enemy for a moment? I thought so too, Ray, but there's no such thing as hostility to Seto.

I mean, it wasn't the enemy that came.

Ray didn't think the person he came to was the enemy because he believed in Seto's senses.

"What's up?

"He seems to be a customer again. Nevertheless, as far as Seto's condition is concerned, there seems to be no such thing as hostility.... Anastasia?

It was Anastasia that Ray came up with imagining someone who would appear on this occasion in this situation.

But as the signs approach, I decide not.

Because the number of signs was not one or two, but more than ten.

If this is two, it would be Anastasia and Fana, and if it's four, there would be a deer riding with those two.

But the number of signs approaching is quite high… given that, it's definitely not the Anastasia and the others.

So if Seto wasn't on guard, and he wasn't an enemy, Ray couldn't tell what kind of opponent he was.

And... Eventually, it was the wolves that Ray also recognized who showed up out of the bush.
