“Whoo… We almost got caught.
Cedric wiped away his cold sweat and muttered to himself.
Jake said.
“I think we need to get out of here now, how can we find the way?”
“For now, I don’t know how.”
He shrugged his shoulders with a gloomy expression that wasn’t like Cedric.
But right away, Alice suggested a way.
“I have a good idea.”
“What?”
“I will call the fairy. Ask him to take us where we want to be.”
Cedric looked like he was saying, ‘What do you mean?’ and Jake asked, puzzled.
“What do you mean, Alice?”
I was equally perplexed.
Alice didn’t say that she became a fairy summoner to anyone but me.
But when she’s talking about fairies like this, is she trying to reveal the secret to Cedric and Jake too?
So my expectation was correct.
“……Everyone knows that I couldn’t become a fairy summoner, but actually I summoned a fairy a while ago.”
“What? Is that real?”
“A fairy?”
Cedric’s eyes and mouth went wide open in surprise.
Jake also had an expression of surprise.
“Yes. Actually, I didn’t summon it with my own strength, I got a lot of help from Miss Emir.”
All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes turned to me.
I was embarrassed and let out an awkward laugh.
“No… it wasn’t a great thing. Haha. I just brought you some fruit.”
“No, not at all! I have completely changed since that day thanks to Miss Emir.”
However, Alice vehemently denied my words, and sent bright eyes of thanks while holding my hands together.
At the same time, as if Cedric had a question about my words, she asked.
“You brought her some fruit? What fruit?”
“…that. Well, there’s something called a cursed fruit. That was it.”
I pondered on whether to say this or not, and then answered vaguely.
Then Cedric was astonished.
“What? Cursed? Cursed Fruit? Did you give her what I know?”
“…well, what Sir Cedric knows is probably true. It’s a very ugly-looking thing.”
“Gasp.”
Cedric looked sick.
Then he asked again in a slightly trembling voice.
“…Well then, what did you do with that to summon a fairy? Did you draw a magic circle with the fruit in front? Probably not, or you drank juice from it… Ugh.”
Cedric groaned as if he was going to vomit just imagining it.
Just then, Alice answered.
“It wasn’t juice, I chewed it whole. It’s okay, because it didn’t taste like something I couldn’t eat at all. It was a bit bitter, but I got better after eating the candy Miss Emir gave me.”
Saying that, Alice said ‘Hehehe’ and smiled at me.
Cedric, who was shivering, seemed to be a little curious about Alice’s attitude, which seemed to think it was nothing.
“…If I eat it, will I be able to become a summoner?”
“No! Never!”
I stopped in front of Cedric as if jumping out in surprise and shouted a little.
Cedric flinched at the sudden appearance of my face right in front of him.
“You surprised me. Why can’t I?”
“Well, the fruit is only effective when eaten by someone with a fairy summoner’s bloodline! If Sir Cedric eats it, it will just be for nothing.”
“Sheesh, I know, damn it, I was just asking to see if I could get my strength up if I ate it.”
No, at the age of 7, you should eat healthy food!
There seemed to be a sincere regret in Cedric’s excuse.
At that moment, Alice carefully opened her mouth to everyone.
“By the way, Sir Cedric, Sir Jake. Please don’t tell anyone that I summoned a fairy. To my family too. Please.”
It was a desperate voice.
I nodded my head vigorously, indicating that I agree with Alice’s words.
“Everyone, please do as Alice said. We are all close friends who go to the same kindergarten, so we have to protect our close friends’ loyalty.”
Loyalty, and friendship!
Those two words seemed to provoke something in Cedric.
Soon, Cedric answered with a solemn expression on his face.
“Yes, you have to protect your loyalty as a close friend. I promise.”
“Yes, I promise.”
I helped make the promise by pulling Alice and Cedric’s hands and holding them together.
Jake nodded too.
“I keep secrets.”
“Thank you, Jake.”
Eventually, the promise of secrecy was over, and Alice summoned the fairy.
“Wow!”
“……!”
When a light suddenly appeared in the air, Cedric and Jake, who blinked for a moment as if dazzled, stared at Abish with an amazed look.
“What did you call me for? Oh, is this the palace where banquets are held?”
Abish looked around and mumbled, “Why isn’t there anyone in the garden attached to the palace?”
The content of his self-talk seemed to be something like, ‘How can you leave our Alice in such a desolate place!’ He looked like some granddaughter-fool.
“Fairy King, we are lost. Please find the way…”
Alice pleaded with Abish in her poor voice.
Soon, Abish’s face was dyed with compassion.
“How could you possibly get lost? Yes, this body must find a way. Where is your destination?”
“Destination? Where were we going?”
Alice looked at me and asked, as if she hadn’t thought of it.
“Well, I think we were going to go back to the princess’s room.”
“Yes, Fairy King. As Miss Emir said. Please send us to the princess’s room.”
“Alright.”
