Ian headed towards the Fairy Forest with the wizards in tow.
Kira and Maria would eventually learn magic, so they needed training to get familiar with mysteries.
"Fairies... they're capricious creatures," Mani cackled like a witch.
Honestly, hmm. It was a laugh that made Ian embarrassed to introduce her as a colleague.
Would she try to throw the fairies into a boiling cauldron as soon as she saw them?
"... Why that expression?"
"It's nothing."
"You! You just had an impertinent thought!"
She was quite a perceptive old lady.
"The Fairy Forest..."
Kira moved with an expression full of anticipation.
Ian, who was watching, beca quite curious.
He hadn't noticed before. Did Kira like fairies?
"Hehe. Kira seems excited," Maria whispered in a gentle voice, as if blowing wind into Ian's ear.
Ian felt a chill run down his spine...
"Don't blow in my ear..."
"Was that uncomfortable? Hehe. But this is a secret... I thought it'd be better if Kira didn't hear."
"A secret?"
Maria pressed her body against Ian as if clinging to his shoulder.
The soft sensation felt through his clothes.
Ian felt even more creeped out!
"No, step back and talk!"
"Hehe. You see, Kira is hoping she might be able to get so fairy silk from the fairy village."
"Fairy silk?"
Lucy and Belenka each had a bracelet and a hair tie made of fairy silk.
Since they treasured these items so much, Kira must have known about them.
Ian realized what Kira was expecting.
Since they were visiting a fabric factory(?) of sorts, she was hoping for fairy silk as a souvenir!
'What is this, a field trip...'
Ian found it absurd, but on the other hand, he understood Kira's wish.
For so unknown reason, won go crazy over accessories.
No, should he say they're obsessed?
Still for reasons he couldn't fathom, they wanted to buy at least one designer bag worth millions of won.
They were genuinely delighted by expensive and beautiful bracelets, necklaces, and rings.
Saying there's a woman in the world who hates jewels is like saying there's a man who hates transforming robots.
In other words, high-class accessories made of fairy silk...
Were the romance of dieval won!
It's no wonder only duchess-level ladies could wear clothes made of fairy silk.
'I should ask about it.'
Ian was receiving fairy silk as paynt for lending the power of Anor-lsil to the fairies.
He had been thinking of it as a kind of pension.
He had left the managent of the fairy silk to Lucy, so it seed like a good idea to ask her when he got back.
"Oh ho. This strange mystery... Could this be space-ti magic?"
"You know it well?"
Whether she had good eyes or not, Mani recognized the space-ti barrier surrounding the fairy village.
"You get used to it when you bump into those annoying bastards. Hehehe."
Ian nodded vigorously.
Everyone hates space-ti wizards, after all.
Ian lingered at the entrance of the fairy village.
If he had learned space-ti magic, he would have broken the barrier, but Ian hadn't learned it yet.
Soon, the Fairy Queen who noticed Ian's visit appeared.
"Ian!"
A small and cute fairy like a doll.
"Wow..."
"Oh my?"
Kira and Maria exclaid almost simultaneously.
That fairy is Tinker Bell-level cute!
If dolls modeled after fairies were produced, they could suck the marrow out of dieval parents raising girls.
"Have you been well?"
Ian exchanged greetings happily with the Fairy Queen.
As they were a kind of business partners, only pleasant words were exchanged.
The Fairy Queen welcod Ian, who had visited after a while.
"So. What brings you here?"
"There's sothing I'd like you to take a look at."
Ian introduced the blacksmith Sam to the Fairy Queen.
The poor pure-human blacksmith was too busy trembling to look straight at the Fairy Queen.
"I, I, I... that is..."
"This friend is a blacksmith. He says he can process a Hunter Stingray's tail. Could you perhaps evaluate his skills?"
"A blacksmith ans tal processing, right?"
As befitting a race skilled in handicrafts, the Fairy Queen quickly understood Ian's words.
It was the fairy race that made Ian's magic sword, Anor-lsil.
"Fairy techniques and human techniques are different. Fairies forge using the power of the sun and moon. We don't know how to refine tal with flas."
"I see."
"But we can watch to see if he makes a proper item."
This ant that while the process was different from humans so she couldn't advise, she could point out if he made mistakes along the way.
"But Ian. Why are you asking us to evaluate a human blacksmith's skills?"
"We need to make quite an important item."
Ian explained the situation in Talian domain.
The Fairy Queen exclaid in surprise:
"A dragon?!"
"Yes. It's been rampaging around. I heard rumors it got beaten sowhere... but it doesn't hurt to be prepared."
The Fairy Queen nodded at Ian's explanation.
If they were dealing with a dragon, they needed to make sothing reliable.
"If you accept, I'll make sure to pay you properly."
Ian intended to hand over jewels as paynt for their help.
But surprisingly, the Fairy Queen rejected Ian's offer.
"It's alright. Dragon hunting is important for the fairy race too. If Talian were to burn down, we couldn't face our ancestors."
"... Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Fairy Queen smiled brightly and said (Kira almost said 'Cute!' but covered her mouth):
"It's nothing. We're neighbors, aren't we?"
"Even among neighbors, there are those who share bread and those who share swords."
"Ah. Yes. Swords."
"?"
The Fairy Queen spoke with a rather serious expression.
"Ian. Please co into the village for a mont. I have sothing to tell you about the magic sword."
"What about the others..."
"Only Ian should co in."
The queen was firm.
There was no choice. Access to the village was connected to the safety of the fairies.
"We'll be fine, so hurry up and go."
Mani, who had hoped to maybe see the fairy village, spoke with a slightly disappointed voice.
"Take care, Ian."
"Take care."
Seeing the won waving, Ian felt a tiny bit sorry.
He wondered if he should bring back so souvenirs.
"Then I'll see you later."
Ian entered the fairy village alone.
---

The fairy village Ian revisited was still quiet and peaceful.
It looked like a village protected by a powerful barrier.
The Fairy Queen led Ian to the rune stone.
"Ian. When you visited our village before. You transferred so of Anor-lsil's power to this rune stone."
"That's right."
The technique the fairies used was a kind of nurology.
They adjusted the position of the rune stones based on precise calculations, placing them in locations to receive the power of the sky.
"Actually... the power of the rune stone keeps getting stronger."
"?"
"To the point where I wonder how this is possible."
'Ah,'
The Fairy Queen didn't know.
The fact that Ian had been gathering various materials to strengthen Anor-lsil.
'Co to think of it...'
Suddenly, Ian rembered Hrundal, the Ice Goddess.
Previously in Hrundal's palace, the goddess had inspected Ian's magic sword.
At that ti, she said 'Don't be too surprised if the magic sword becos strange'...
"I'm sorry for telling you so late."
"No. It's fine."
Ian lightly accepted the Fairy Queen's apology.
It was largely Ian's fault for wandering all over the Empire.
"We've borrowed much more power than we initially contracted for."
The Fairy Queen spoke calmly.
"So... we'll provide you with additional fairy silk."
The Fairy Queen showed Ian several pieces of fabric.
Made by fairies, they were only handkerchief-sized, but they were clearly luxurious and beautiful fabrics.
"To be honest, more power is being supplied than before."
"More than before?"
Ian was slightly surprised.
The power of Anor-lsil must have grown stronger.
"It's an unnecessary amount for our village's level."
"Then..."
"If we readjust the rune stone, we can make your magic sword even stronger."
She ant to send all the wasted power back to Ian.
This was welco news from Ian's perspective.
"Let's do it right away."
The Fairy Queen called a technician to readjust the rune stone.
"Oh! Ian! Why don't you try so [calculations] after a while?"
"Ahem! Hmm!"
Ian didn't refuse the technician's suggestion.
After fully enjoying the fairies' nurology, they finished adjusting the rune stone.
"Hm?"
As soon as the adjustnt was complete, there was a response.
The tip of Anor-lsil began to tremble!
[... Who's making a fuss?]
[... D-Don't say anything.]
"?"
Ian was taken aback by the sudden voices.
These were voices that Ian, as a wizard, couldn't fail to recognize.
This was... the whisper of mysteries!
Ian looked around.
The form of the mystery was nowhere to be seen.
Except for.
The magic sword Anor-lsil.
"Your Majesty. I can hear voices here?"
"... Voices?"
The Fairy Queen didn't know the Maronius language. Fairies were a race born with magic.
Instead, she noticed the change in Anor-lsil.
"I think the mysteries of the sun and moon might be speaking to you, Lord Ian."
Powerful mysteries touching the sky.
Considering the source of Anor-lsil's power, it wasn't that strange.
[You there!]
That's when it happened.
[Found you! I wondered who was so impudently calling ! It was you! Insolent human!]
It wasn't a misunderstanding.
The voice was definitely coming from Anor-lsil.
Ian shouted in surprise:
"Wow! Ego sword!"
[???]
Anor-lsil was bewildered.
