lbys preparations for the journey finished in no ti.
On the way back we jumped straight to the vicinity of Riverette Village with lbys [Dinsion Magic].
Its awfully convenient, but to be able to move with [Dinsion Magic], first lby has to leave a Gate in this world.
Even if I say its a Gate, its apparently an invisible mana marker of sorts.
Also, moving from Gate to Gate, in other words, from sowhere in this world to sowhere else in this world is not possible.
You can only jump from this world back to Fairy Village, then from Fairy Village back to this world, and also, when returning (when moving from Fairy Village to this world), you can only use the sa Gate you used to arrive.
For example, if you leave a Gate at the outskirts of Riverette Village and use that to jump to the Fairy Village, then you can only go back through the Riverette Village Gate (although you can leave through the Exit of Fairy Village which leads to the listone cave behind the waterfall).
Therefore, moving to a different place via Fairy Village like Riverette Village Fairy Village A different Gate is not possible.
Well, even then its an awfully convenient magic.
By the way, my appearance returned to its forr 3 years-old-like state (the contents being barely 8-month-old).
..Ed, you really were a child, huh.
A bit more familiarly acting lbys eyes grew round with surprise.
When I was just thinking that the way she displayed her surprise is a bit too weak,
Well, if you live for a thousand years you get to see all kinds of people., she said.
Also, Master is about a thousand tis more amazing than you.
Mm, well, after seeing that Status I cant really deny it.
As it was dawning in the village, I walked in a way so people wouldnt notice , and tried to get back to the village chiefs house.
Dont move!
Suddenly, soone called out to from behind.
I turned back with unease.
I knew from her voice, but there was Julia-kaasan with a grim expression on her face.
Get away from Edgar-kun!
Huh?
Mom said that while glaring at lby the fairy flying near my shoulders.
She can see her!?
When she saw lby, she hurriedly put on an intense expression.
When I suddenly woke up at dawn, Edgar-kun was nowhere to be seen. I thought maybe I was overthinking it, but there was that missing persons case, so I woke up the village chief and had him put together a search party. But, Im glad the culprit was found before that.
Please wait, Mom! lby is not at fault here!
..really?
Really! Ive beco friends with her!
Mom is inspecting both of us with a still very doubting expression.
I dont know if you will believe , but its true.
lby said this to her.
Maybe they heard moms voice, but the villagers started gathering and surrounding us at a distance.
The villagers are holding spades, sickles, and hoes in their hands.
I heard from Ed that there is an ongoing missing childs case in this village. It was a coincidence that our Fairy Circle was found near the scene of the cri. In the first place, fairies cant harm people.
The villagers start talking among themselves after hearing lbys words.
Since the villagers can see her, that ans lby decided to show herself, it seems.
Since I could see her from the beginning I dont know when she did it.
Is that true.? Of course its a lie But, they say fairies cant lie Maybe thats also a lie
The villagers reaction was filled with doubt.
There are no concepts in this world such as ascientific investigation or innocent until proven guilty, huh.
Moreover, there so said,
Fairies are servants of the devil! Fairies ca to eat us!
A middle-aged fellow with an unkempt beard and red face yelled with a hand-axe in one of his hands.
This one is probably the woodcutter from the spokespersons story.
We can also hide our appearance. Like this.
Apparently lby hid her appearance for a mont.
The villagers are stirring.
However, as you can see Im showing myself. If we really abducted the child, then I wouldnt do such a thing.
The villagers were looking at each other after hearing lbys words.
It seems she was sowhat convincing, but they are still doubting her.
lby-oneechan!
Suddenly a voice cut in.
Rushing out from the row of villagers was a familiar little girl.
Weell, shes that one. The one that defended the fairies in the village chiefs house.
Her na was.. yes, Aino-chan.
Oh, you are..
Its Aino! When I got lost before Big Sister saved !
Right, thats how it was. You got bigger since I last saw you.
lby flew over to near Aino-chans head and affectionately patted her head.
Her appearance was like a big sister pampering her younger sister.
Huh, it looks like lby has a Big Sister personality even outside the Fairy Village.
Seeing how lby and Aino-chan looked at that ti the villagers lowered the spades, sickles, and hoes they were holding.
Hoy! Dont be deceived by the words of the fairy! Fairies are the servants of the devil, that must be it!
The woodcutter is shouting with a red face, but
.its more dangerous to believe the thingsyousay.
Saying that, the spokesperson appeared from within the group of villagers.
Hello there, cute Fairy-san. Welco to Riverette Village.
Ah, no, well. saying that Im cute..
He is just being diplomatic.
For the ti being I make a remark to the hands-on-her-face-squirming lby.
So, Fairy-dono. What business might you have in this village? Im sorry, but this village has a sowhat frenzied atmosphere currently, you see.
Ed deciphered the code we left behind and ca to play to the Fairy Village, so I ca to escort him back.
Ah, I wouldve liked if you didnt tell them that.
Although, there is no helping it since lby cant tell a lie.
Is that true? That kid is not even 3 years old.
Huh? But, the Divine Blessingmmmm!
I put my hands on lbys mouth, who was letting things slip one after the other.
(Wh-what?)
(Dont speak about my Status, please.)
(You are asking so difficult things. Got it. I will keep it in mind.)
As lby and I was speaking in a hush-hush,
lby-oneechan! Boyce-kun disappeared
A friend of yours?
Nn. Boyce-kun. He said he will give a beautiful stone for my birthday and went to the river.
I see.
lby nodded to the depressed looking Aino-chan with a grim expression.
Then,
Village chief
Nah, Im not the village chief, you know? Im just the villages spokesperson.
I dont care which. I will also help with the search for that Boyce-kun.
That would a great help, but. is that alright?
Its the perfect chance to lift everyones doubts.. and also, fairies are the allies of children. But, before that
Of all the places, lby started flying to that woodcutter.
Woodcutter-san
Do-dont co near ! You wicked fairy!
You, you are possessed by sothing?
Wh-, what..?
Lalala.
Suddenly lby closed her eyes and started singing.
That singing continued on for about aminute.
Sweet and gentle, it was a singing that warms peoples hearts.
The woodcutter started staggering, then he leaned against the wall of a nearby private house.. did he fall asleep?
Wh-, what was that about?
The spokesperson asked.
This was a [Fairys Song] that has the effect of calming peoples hearts.It caught my eye since the beginning, but it seems this woodcutter-san was under a spell that affects the mind.Thankfully, it wasnt that strong of a spell, so I managed to cancel it with the Song of Tranquility..
What the-!
Maybe its the effect of the song, but it seems lbys words were easily accepted by the villagers.
Wait a mont.
Saying that, lby returned to the outskirts of the village.
She must be going where the Gate is.
After a few minutes of waiting
Sorry for the wait.
Sorry for the wait~!
lby ca back with a few other fairies.
Every one of them is soone I t at yesterdays party.
The twin fairiesSecel and Secela is also here.
We will search the forest by us fairies. We will start with the upstream part of the river, so can I ask the people of the village to take care of the downstream part?
Yea-, yeah.of course.
The spokesperson nodded with a dumbfounded expression.
Even if Riverette Village is near the Fairy Village, its the first ti they saw such a gathering of fairies.
Then, thats how it is. Lets start!
Perhaps its the effect of the [Leadership] skill, she said that as she took charge of things before anyone noticed.
