Chapter 180: A Chance eting Under a Moonlit Night (2/3)
Moreover, while such existences are birthed by the thoughts and mana of people, both mana and thoughts are usually at their strongest at the mont of death; hence, there are tis when undead-type monsters (zombies and skeletons and the likes) are born too. That’s probably why this fairy doesn’t seem very keen on being associated with house haunting fairies.
“I’ll say it again, but I’m a ‘fairy’ born from the natural mana of the world. I was born at so forest sowhere.” [Resident Fairy]
“I see… I did hear about the existence of fairies, but I never thought I would actually get to et one in the flesh.” [Ryouma]
Still, the fairy she was talking about was a normal one.
Normal fairies which are supposed to be small, but this woman in front of looks no different from any other human woman. And as I talk to her like this, I get the impression that she’s very thoughtful.
Moreover, it’s very likely that the one who created this situation is none other than her… She said that she just ‘took up residence’ here, so she’s probably not contracted with anyone from this manor. If so, then she probably has a hypnotic power of so sort that allows her to manipulate people. Leading people astray does go perfectly well with the usual stereotype of fairies.
Considering that she’s able to assu the form of a human perfectly and even display intelligence, it should be safe to assu that she must be an advanced fairy variant.
“So, Fairy-san, exactly what kind of business do you have with ?” [Ryouma]
“Actually, I wasn’t really planning on showing myself to you, but… There’s sothing I wanted to ask you.” [Resident Fairy]
When I quietly waited for her to continue, the next words that ca out of her were ‘Is there anything bothering you?’
“Bothering ?” [Ryouma]
“It could be anything you’re troubled about. Really. Is there anything?” [Resident Fairy]
“Nothing in particular…” [Ryouma]
If I really had to say sothing, then I guess being suddenly asked if there’s sothing troubling is certainly troubling.
“I’m sure there must be sothing. You know such as regarding the difference in your life here compared to your life back on Earth.” [Resident Fairy]
“I’m actu— Wait. What did you say?” [Ryouma]
‘Earth’
This girl said that just now, didn’t she? No, there’s no mistaking it.
I don’t sense any threats, but with her saying that out of the blue like that, I can’t help but beco alert.
“What is it all of the sudden? Ahh…” [Resident Fairy]
For a mont, the fairy looked confused, but imdiately after, she seed to understand sothing.
“Co to think of it, I haven’t ntioned it, have I? I wasn’t planning on eting you in the first place, so I’d forgotten, but… Please excuse my lack of manners. My na is Yui. Written with the character ‘結’, which ans ‘to join’. A Japanese like yourself once ca to this world from Earth. Her na is Shiho, and I was her familiar.” [Yui]
“!?” [Ryouma]
Shiho Jamil… If I recall correctly, that’s the ancestor of the Jamil family, and the person who founded the monster taming technique. This fairy was her familiar? Now that she ntions it, although she doesn’t feel any different from the people of this country, there is a tinge of Japanese in her. Whether it’s her black hair, her black eyes, or her face.
I’m quite rattled since that ca out of nowhere, but there shouldn’t be any point in her lying to , right?
“Before Shiho passed, she asked two things. One was to protect her children and their descendants as much as I could. And the other was that if I ever happened upon another otherworlder, she wanted to help them.
Shiho was a kind girl. But she was also reckless, and because of that, she lived her ti in this world full of worries. That’s why she wanted to make it easier for the next Earthling to co to this world. So she told to do what I could for him. After all, fairies normally won’t die until after a century or two.
Oh, and by the way, since I knew Shiho, I knew imdiately that you were an Earthling as soon as I saw you.” [Yui]
“And that’s why you asked if there was sothing bothering ?” [Ryouma]
“Of course, I wasn’t actually planning on talking with you this much.” [Yui]
So it turns out that she really does possess so kind of hypnotic powers, as her original plan was just to invade my bed and use those powers to make my worries go away. The plan was for her to use the experience that she’s cultivated after living for so long to co up with a solution to whatever problems I had. If she could, anyway. And then she would share that solution with and leave any other mory apart from the solution itself hazy.
“You’re a human, but for so reason, my powers just wouldn’t work on you, so I had no choice but to show myself. I hear you otherworlders are bestowed powers by the gods. Is that the reason why my powers weren’t effective on you?” [Yui]
“Weren’t effective? Ah, no, I’m sorry but that one’s my fault. I have a constitution that makes it really hard for ntal attacks to work on .” [Ryouma]
“…I see.” [Yui]
