This passage is filled with intense emotions and a clash of personalities, particularly between the protagonist (Lucy) and the skeleton, as well as references to magical elents and the mysteries surrounding the “fairy dance” and past conflicts.
Here's the translation of the text you provided:
The skeleton's eyes were empty, yet strangely, heat could be felt within that darkness.
Overwheld by the atmosphere, as if the deep emotions from the past were seeping out, I forgot my earlier excitent and faced the skeleton.
“Answer . How do you know about the fairy’s dance?”
His tone was serious, entirely different from the one he used when arguing with my grandfather.
A sharp voice, as though no small joke would be tolerated.
What is it about the fairy's dance that has made the skeleton this desperate?
I don’t really know. The only thing I know about the fairy forest is that the skeleton put it into an eternal slumber. What happened in between, I don't know.
That’s the story of the heroes, not Soul Academy’s tale.
While I was choosing my words, my grandfather gave advice.
He told to lie.
My grandfather must know that the fairy's dance I perford with Ganshu has nothing to do with what the skeleton is asking. After all, he watched the scene when I underwent the trial.
Yet, my grandfather still told to lie, clearing the enthusiasm from his voice.
I’m not very sharp, but when it gets to this point, I can naturally guess what’s going on.
The story related to the fairy’s forest is probably sothing tragic, sothing endlessly close to sorrow.
“Why did that history nerd show it to ?”
“…Ganshu showed you the fairy’s forest?”
The skeleton paused for a mont when it heard my mockery but soon realized who I was talking about.
“Why?”
“Do I need to know the little brat's thoughts? Why? Do you think I care about that annoying little history geek?”
The convenience of divine intent is such that when a prophecy is sent from the heavens to the earth, it leaves plenty of room for interpretation, and so too do their decrees. If you say you don't understand their intent, they can't argue back.
Well, what can I do? I don't know.
“Calm down. You antisocial virgin wizard. If you keep ranting like that, who would want to be friends with you? Even if soone tried, they’d run away in fear.”
I tried to shift the topic by slightly riling him up, but the skeleton didn’t react to my impudent tone.
It was as if my teasing was all just lies.
“Do you know what’s happened to the fairy’s forest?”
“It's the place where the creepy, trembling, evil god devoured it? Why ask? Didn’t you seal it away, virgin wizard? Did your mory get fried or sothing?”
“Yes. That’s where I sealed it. A place where the sins of a miserable wizard, who chose the world over the corrupted forest, remain. The fact that Ganshu showed it to you, his apostle, clearly has so intent behind it!”
“Really?”
“Doesn’t seem like it.”
I didn’t think Ganshu had such foresight.
That little weirdo probably just chose a tricky place to annoy .
“The darkness on this land makes saving that place impossible. Why? Why is it so?”
“Didn’t that little coward get beaten and run off?”
“…What?”
“Like a coward, he tried to bother with his creepy little plans, but I crushed him. How did such a pathetic person even get called a god? Oh, I see. Does being a god an you’re a god, no matter how trashy you are?”
I didn’t completely defeat the dark evil god. To erase his existence, I’d need to break the seal beneath the dungeon.
But I did destroy most of the power that the dark evil god possessed.
The evil god sacrificed everything to eliminate , his apostle, and even in that situation, he was proven to be nothing but weak.
By now, he’s probably just ntally celebrating in the seal.
“Can you tell more about that story?”
The skeleton, pushing his skull closer, made uncomfortable, but his voice held an unspoken desperation that I couldn’t dismiss.
Hmm. How should I explain this?
Even if I manage to distort things with my "ssgaki" skill, I don’t think I can explain this in a way that makes sense.
Plus, if I keep babbling, the only one who’ll understand will be the rotten .
After a mont of hesitation, I gave up on explaining and asked the skeleton to briefly lift the seal so I could bring in Feiby.
“Are you talking about the day I fought the dark evil god? If so, it’s better for Lady to explain that.”
“I don’t feel like it.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll do my best to explain the lady’s devotion.”
Feiby, who had often preached to others at the church, was a great storyteller.
If there was a pretty lady on a video site talking like this, I’m sure it would have millions of views.
But, Feiby, don't you think the story’s a bit exaggerated?
In the story, I’m not a "ssgaki" anymore, but a figure out of a myth!
I’m not that noble! Please, tone it down a bit!
Unable to bear Feiby’s praises, I covered my flushed face with both hands, but it didn’t matter. Feiby continued to tell her exaggerated version of the story to the skeleton.
“Lady caused a miracle with the power of the god, and the city that was overtaken by darkness has returned to its original state.”
“That’s impossible.”
“It’s true. Erginus. I heard from the people at the church that it’s beco even more sacred than before.”
“…Really?”
“I swear to the god.”
When Feiby smiled gently and nodded, Erginus slowly turned his head to look at .
I don’t know what he’s expecting, but I’m a completely different person from the one in the story. If you expect sothing from , all you’ll get is rejection.
“Lucy Arlen. Was that your na?”
“Are you calling a brat even though you rember my na? Why? Was it too embarrassing to say a girl’s na?”
“The miracle in the city. Can it be expanded to a broader area?”
Are you talking about the evil god’s energy being removed?
It’s not impossible.
If I take so holy relics from Isabel Artea, it should be more than doable.
Both Feiby and I have grown so much since then.
I nodded without saying anything, and the skeleton clenched his teeth before slowly nodding.
“You’re an academy student, right?”
“So?”
“When the break begins, will you co find ? I’d like to make a deal. If you agree to help , I’ll tell you about the things the real one hid. Even after I took his mories, the real one continued to act, so there may be inaccuracies, but I can guarantee that everything will be valuable.”
The proposal from the skeleton was a type I had never seen in a ga.
Though the skeleton inherits Erginus’ mories, he has never shared information about it.
So this proposal from the skeleton clearly shows how desperate he is.
But regardless of his desperation, his offer isn’t that appealing to .
I probably know more about where Erginus hid his things than this skeleton does.
Of course, I know more than the skeleton buried under the desert.
But…
‘Grandfather, this offer from the skeleton. It’s related to the fairy forest, right?’
‘Is it dangerous?’
Though my grandfather advised against it, I didn’t listen to him.
The fairy forest is a place I couldn’t visit in the ga.
It’s a cursed realm I’ve never stepped into—a hell whose nature I don’t even know.
What could be more alluring than that?
I smiled and walked up to the skeleton, who was waiting for to speak, and struck him on the shin.
No matter how much of a great mage he was, it seed like he couldn’t react to an unexpected attack, and he stumbled, putting us on the sa level.
“I don’t care what the great virgin mage left behind. Even if I find sothing, I don’t want to touch it. It’ll sll like an old widower’s stuff.”
“You can’t belittle those things like that! They’re not just things!”
“You clueless virgin mage. You know nothing about won and act like a fool in front of them. You couldn’t do anything on your own, so you’re groveling in front of a girl. How did soone like you get the title of a god?”
“…Yeah.”
“If that’s the case, stop babbling and help. That idiot is bound to ss things up again.”
I trust in Feiby’s abilities.
And I also trust that she won’t be able to get out of her current situation.
If I leave her to handle it on her own, she’ll probably end up blushing and failing spectacularly.
I didn’t want to see my friend cry in regret, so I asked the skeleton to help her.
He paused for a mont before quietly asking .
“...Do you know what I would ask of you?”
“Roughly?”
“Do you know it’s dangerous?”
“Dangerous? Oh, enduring the sll of that chicken coop lady is a bit much. I’ll admit that.”
“But would you really help with just this small thing?”
“Look, virgin wizard. I think you’re mistaken, but I’m not interested in your stinky desires. I’m just doing what I want to do. So don’t get delusional. There’s nothing more disgusting than a loser chuckling to himself.”
I finished speaking as I tapped the skeleton’s forehead, stepping back and grabbing my mace again.
As I prepared to further solidify the clues I gathered from the fairy’s dance, the skeleton suddenly burst out laughing after a while.
After a few monts, he stopped laughing and stood up, looking at with a voice filled with amusent.
“I suppose I can’t doubt the great god’s foresight.”
...What?
What’s he saying all of a sudden?
Did he awaken so hidden taste in himself after being beaten?
If another pervert shows up, that would be troubleso!
“Fairy fox! Attack!”
“…Huh?! Why!? Why!? I was just giving a complint, why are you scared?!”
“Lucy, don’t forget to reward later.”
“Ahhh! Don’t co near ! Don’t co near !”
Well, thank goodness. Judging by his reaction, it seems like his preferences haven’t changed.
“Please don’t co near eee!”
