Volume 6, Chapter 3 - The Wild Boar's Piglet and the Fibre Material
A few days have passed since defeating Thorn Token together with Cloude. He continued to persistently inquire about the mucus issue but I dodged the topic every time.
Also, the information on the Thorn Tokens had been gradually gathered.
There wasn't much difference between the parasitised weak mobs and boss mobs as Thorn Tokens. However, some Thorn Tokens that parasitised mobs with certain characteristics were very strong.
"Yeah, they aren't something you can battle one after another. Haa, the inside of the store is wonderful."
"Isn't it. Here, tea."
"Thank you, Kyouko-san.
After being through a lot I ran out of energy and didn't leave the 【Atelier】 for even a step and was mixing potions, as well as crafting accessories.
"Hey, hey! Make me something too! I'm bored you know!"
"Eeeh, it can't be helped then…"
After such exchange, I have made a composite bracelet out of leftover leather and melted down iron equipment, but rather than of the size for a fairy's wrist, it had turned into something that was worn like a belt.
Some other time, when I frantically swung the hammer in front of the furnace, the sight of the Mischievous Fairy who had brought the snacks in and was crunching them soundly, had annoyed me greatly.
"Heyy, don't you have some other sweets?? I'm tired of these?."
"Certainly, no wonder you got tired of butter cookies, but your demands are too luxurious. Geez."
Ryui and Zakuro aren't complaining at all, I thought, when I turned towards the two, they looked away slightly. No way, so they were tired of them.
"Haa, let's stop eating butter cookies for now then. But, I'm not making anything else."
"Why! I was looking forward to human snacks!"
"No, today there's a tea party with Cloude and the others, so you can eat some in there, there's no need for me to make any."
"What! Then, fine!"
When I said so, the Mischievous Fairy went "pyuu" and bolted out through the window towards the field. Seeing that, Kyouko-san the NPC chuckled cutely, but personally, I'd like more peace to calm down in.
"Hello, Yun-kun. It seems quite fun."
"Emily-san. Since you've come, it's about Metallic Thread, right?"
"Yes, so it is. Well, let's talk talk about it leisurely, Yun-kun, how are you?"
The Water Fairy riding on Emily-san's shoulder took off in order to take a look at the plants on the field, Emily-san saw her off with a smile.
"How nice. Emily-san's Water Fairy is so quiet. Mine is complaining all the time 'I'm bored', 'I want this' 'I want that', like a kid."
"Mine isn't so. 'It's dark', 'dull', 'I want more plants'. She says."
Emily-san received a cup of tea from Kyouko-san, took a sip and heaved a sigh.
Since the conversation seemed like a talk of two mothers, I burst into laughter quietly.
"So it's like that on your side too."
"Everyone in the surroundings is at mercy of the fairies. They try to match them, understanding them better is constructive."
"Mmm, it feels like it's too late for me to do that. I've been quite cold to her."
"If Yun-kun is being cold to her, then most of the players would have treated her much worse."
"Really?"
"That's right. If you really was to be hated, she would respond to you mechanically without any expressions, like a noh mask. Compared to that, I think your Mischievous Fairy is really expressive."
When I looked outside the window, the Mischievous Fairy created a breeze which swayed the herbs in the field and formed waves in small grass. Emily-san's Water Fairy had moistened the ground by spreading water mist in the air, which resulted with a rainbow.
The Wisteria Peach Tree in the back of the field and the rainbow, as I watched the two fairies dance in that scenery a smile had naturally spilled on my mouth.
"The flowers are beautiful aren't they. It's worth clearing that hard raid quest."
"Yeah. It's great to spend time leisurely by that tree, brushing Ryui and Zakuro."
"Since my own Wisteria Peach Tree won't grow to this size in the plant pot I got from Yun-kun, I'm envious."
Saying so, she sipped the tea again and to her mouth, she raised one of the butter cookies the Mischievous Fairy was tired of.
A brisk crispy sound reached my ears accompanied by pleasant silence.
However, in the middle of it, just for a moment a shadow appeared on Emily-san's face.
"I kind of feel a gaze on us, don't you?"
"Hm? Not really."
"You see. Ever since I put down the plant pot with Wisteria Peach Tree I've been feeling a line of sight on me. It wasn't the malicious kind, the Water Fairy too, said that it's a good gaze, that a good kid has come."
"Hmm. I wonder what is it? A guardian spirit? A fantastical existence?"
I tilted my head, wondering, but from what I could recall I hardly felt any gazes on me before.
Even when there were, at most it were people peeking in through the 【Atelier】's and checking up how's the store.
When I told that to Emily-san, "Yun-kun, whether about the gazes or your own evaluation you're really dense
