Chapter 352: Kim Hyuna (2)

“It is natural that you cannot see them on the continent. The type of environment is very important for the fairies to live.”

“You mean the environment?”

“Yes. When our long-time ancestors were active, we heard that they were found all over the continent, but… At this time, you will not find us anywhere except the Kingdom of Eberia. Basically, fairies can only live in unpolluted forests.”

“Well, they’re like an extinct animal… They can only live in the top quality water area. You mean this?”

“Yes. That’s right, Park Deokgu. Those who have lost their place in life because of humans’ reckless development… are a little more… Ah. Sorry. I wasn’t trying to say this…”

“No. I can’t say you’re wrong.”

“As expected!”

“But Elena… I can’t think just like that. Unlike the elves, who are protected by the World Tree, nothing has been given to humans. Considering that all the resources necessary to build barriers and walls come from the forest, sacrifices would have been indispensable for human survival and development. Assuming the elves didn’t have a World Tree, things would be more interesting.”

“Ah.”

“The elves would have had to build barriers and build walls. There would be no continuous fruiting, so they might have needed some land to farm to sustain the large population. It would have been necessary to create a water channel for drinking water, and it would have changed a lot differently than now.”

“T-That’s reasonable.”

“Of course, nowadays, the boundaries are blurred whether it is simply for survival or to satisfy their own greed… If humans were given the same means as the World Tree, I think it could have been a little different from now. I think that’s very unfortunate. When the environment changes, many things change.”

“I see.”

“I think I talked about useless things too much.”

“No, Honorary Cardinal. I think you were telling from a slightly different perspective, so I think it helped to broaden my narrow perspective.”

“More importantly, now…”

“Yeah. We will be entering the fairy forest by now.”

“Have we arrived already?”

“Because we came running a full day. From now on, it’s a good place to get off because it’s a place where we can’t get in by a carriage. Jung Hayan, Sun Hee-young, I think it would be nice to get ready.”

“Okay.”

“…”

I could see the faces of Jung Hayan and Sun Hee-young, who nodded slightly.

‘They don’t seem to be in a good mood.’

Interestingly, Jung Hayan seemed to be less upset. Seeing that she didn’t explode even during the constant conversations with Elena, the proposal seemed to have worked.

Of course, it may have been decisive to think that she was now in charge of my health.

In contrast, Sun Hee-young had a slightly darker expression, and I think I could see why she was maintaining that expression.

‘Does she think her place was taken?’

In fact, Sun Hee-young was in the position of being my doctor before this false bum show.

Recently, many things happened that made her fall apart from me, and she seemed to be in an even worse mood because she was deprived of her job.

The series of processes of taking care of me was the only thing where she could be connected to me, so it wouldn’t be too much for her to make that face.

Of course, I don’t know if it’s still the same as before. It seemed that Sun Hee-young was showing interest in me without making it obvious, so I was consciously pushing her away. Seeing that she continued to maintain a dark face, it seemed that my plan was not very successful.

She’s just not extreme compared to Jung Hayan. I need to limit my actions considering she’s gotten a little weird. It was little by little, but I need to prevent her from having a mental breakdown.

As I smiled, she’s smiled slightly as if she cheered up a little. A very bright smile stood out. It’s something I’ve always thought, but certainly, her appearance is close to my ideal type. Of course, only the look.

As I got off the wagon while having useless thoughts, I could see the party members just starting to get off the other wagons, but in fact, this sight was unfamiliar.

Usually, we all rode large wagons together, but we divided the people as the road we took was hard for a large wagon to pass through. Of course, the horizon was way more worth it to watch than that scene.

“Wow…!” Jung Hayan exclaimed.

“It’s beautiful. It’s really beautiful. This place…”

Sun Hee-young expressed. Of course, my mouth opened, too.

When I first came to Eberia, my reaction had been the same, but the appearance of colored flowers that could not be seen on Earth was spectacular.

“Aren’t monsters living here?”

“Yes. This is also one of the areas protected by the World Tree. Of course, wild animals come in, but basically, it’s a place where even they don’t like to come… As I said before, the fairies are a little bit serious. Perhaps those without immunity were startled and left.”

“If possible, it would be better to go back quietly.”

“Okay.”

Even while I chatted for a while, the guild members unpacked their luggage and prepared to march. As Kim Hyunsung sent a signal, the formation was provided instantly. The elves were no different from us.

I realized that they were well-trained, but looking at it like this, I felt different again. Even in the wagon, the two formations were quite complementary, perhaps as if they had a separate conversation with Kim Hyunsung.

It didn’t feel like it was perfectly harmonized, but it looked like it was well mixed. It was definitely worth a nod.

I liked it more than anything else that she regarded my safety as more important than her being a healer. It didn’t seem to be very different from usual, but it was a good feeling of being cared for one way or another.

Anyway, the party began to march slowly. Of course, Kim Hyunsung was at the forefront, and I didn’t know if he had ever been here, but he was indeed busy guiding the people.

Of course, the steps we had taken were quite cautious, not because we felt that the situation was dangerous, but in order to avoid annoying situations. It was true that it was boring and difficult as we continued to move on.

After a long time, I resented my cursed stamina. After taking a sip of the stamina potion, I could see Elena looking at my frowning face.

“Honorary Cardinal, are you okay?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“If you are feeling tired, you must speak to me. Just as the body breaks when the soul is weakened, the opposite is possible. No, I think it would be better to bring it to the front rather than this.”

“No. It’s fine, Elena. In fact, it’s not that hard.”

“You don’t have to refuse. It’s getting darker, and everyone is getting tired… I think it would be nice to tell you.”

“It’s really okay, really.”

However, the rest had already been decided. As Jung Hayan tapped in front of her and began to convey her intentions, the news was delivered to Kim Hyunsung, who was instantly in the lead, and all the elves had begun unpacking to find a suitable ground.

It was getting dark. It was then that the light shimmered slightly in front of my eyes.

“Huh?”

“Oppa. Just now…”

“I saw it too, Hayan.”

It felt like a firefly. The only difference was that a small chatter was heard.

Basically, it was a language that even strangers who were equipped with translation magic could not understand. I was a little puzzled for a while. When I remembered what we had been talking about all day, I felt like I could see what was in front of me.

‘It’s a fairy.’

It looked similar to what you imagined—a dragonfly a little different from the palm of the hand with wings were constantly emitting tiny light.

It would be right to think that it looked like an elf rather than a human, and it looked very cute.

Strangely, it seemed that a lot of them were gathering near Jung Hayan, but considering that the place where they gathered is a forest where pure magical power was gathered, the scene gathering around her did not seem strange.

It was a very pure arrangement, so it attracted the fairies to the temple.

“Fortunately, they didn’t gather a lot.”

“Ah. This is not a lot?”

“Yes. The days are dark, and it seems to be rewarding to move quietly.”

There were enough by my standards, but to them, it wasn’t.

‘It’s pretty.’

In the meantime, the elves were familiar while setting up a camp, and it felt like they didn’t pay much attention to the fairies. On the contrary, most of the Blue Guild members were glancing at their surroundings.

I had seen many amazing things so far, but this would be the first time I’ve seen it, so it was understandable. Kim Ye-ri, who pretended that she didn’t like cute things, was completely absorbed.

Of course, some who had suffered from the pain they gave already existed.

They robbed the red mask Kim Chang-ryul always wore, and Park Deokgu became like a Christmas tree. Strangely, some of the fairies had begun throwing small rocks at Han Sora, but it didn’t seem painful. Instead, she looked quite shocked.

She, too, was a woman, so she seemed unhappy to be hated by those with cute faces.

She seemed to know why, but it was natural for her to pretend that it was nothing. I didn’t have to say anything about the others.

Returning to scholar mode, Hwang Jeong-yeon had her eyes wide open, and many fairies had begun pulling at her hair and taking her glasses.

Yoo Ahyoung’s appearance was, even more, a spectacle. Quite a few fairies were pulling her collar. There was even a guy trying to get through her shirt, so it didn’t need to be said that it was a pretty embarrassing scene to look at.

“Ahh!”

“Stop it. S-Stop now!”

Of course, Elena’s situation was no different. Some of the fairies were using her ears as if they were trampolines. Looking at the guys’ expressions jumping from her big ears, it seemed that they were not happy.

‘These guys are really annoying.’

Just in time, several had started rushing to me as well. They were not really harmful, but it felt really annoying.

“Can’t we do anything to stop them?”

“Ah… Yes. You can kick them out, but if you do, they will bring in more friends. Maybe it’s time for the kids to fall asleep soon, so they’ll be a little quiet after dinner. Until then…”

It was when Elena continued talking. Slowly, Kim Hyunsung began to approach. He also had many fairies attached to him, but he probably had something he wanted to say.

It was then that I realized that something had become strange. I was not mistaken. Kim Hyunsung’s body shape can be seen gradually changing.

I didn’t know if he noticed the weirdness either, but I could see his head down, looking down.

“Huh?”

It was a thin voice.

“This became annoying.”

His long hair was down to his shoulders.

I was able to realize that he was the first sacrifice to their pranks.

“Kiyoung-ssi. Don’t you feel anything uncomfortable?”

‘I’m the one who should be asking it.’

Looking at me was a woman who looked like she was in her late teens.

“Oppa… became a girl.” Kim Ye-ri mumbled in shock.
