Chapter 158 (1/2)

Karrrk!

Hiiing!

Reina opened her eyes as soon as she heard loud sounds.

‘Uhm, what’s that noise? Where have we come again?’

Wondering while seeing a strange scenery, she looked surprised as she discovered the strange beings which were flying over her head.

They were very colorful with shades of red, blue, yellow and many more. They were of the size of a clenched human fist, and their appearances were different.

The blue one resembled a three-tailed baby bird. The red one resembled a flaming lizard, and the yellow one was similar to a baby mole.

It was strange as hell, but seeing the small and cute beings in an unknown place, Reina’s heart felt a lot at ease.

The baby animals, which had never seen a human before went around Reina, talking among themselves.

“Wah! This is a very strange being!”

“Of course, this is a creature called a human.”

“Human?”

“They are a very inferior-race that lives on Middle-Earth with which our contact has been cut off thousands of years ago. You’re seeing it for the first time?”

“Ung, first time. But how come you know about them?”

“I saw a drawing of them in the book that I found in Hertes’ library.”

As the Red lizard kept asking, the blue bird kept on answering.

“But I feel a very warm and familiar energy form this human being.”

“Oh! Humans opened their eyes! All of you, get away!”

The yellow mole shouted making the other five little things run away, thinking they were in danger.

But they didn’t go away completely.

As they weren’t able to overcome their curiosity about humans, they watched them from afar.

The blue boy who resembled a baby bird, pretending to be a good boy, asked Reina.

“Who are you? And, this is a place where humans can’t enter, so how did you come in?”

It was almost like that baby bird was singing.

Strangely, Reina could understand what the bird was saying.

She looked around for a while and then replied,

“I am Reina. I also don’t know how I came here.”

Clearly there were sky, sun, forest and river, and fields too.

However, the world she was seeing was different from the world she came.

It was as if someone had drawn a picture on the white page of a sketchbook, all colorful, countless beings flying around.

“What is this place?”

Reina asked the blue baby boy bird, who kicked his tongue.

“I guess you really are a stupid race. You came here not knowing where you stepped into?”

“I just opened the door to the Spirit World as the fairies requested…!”

Reina, who didn’t complete her answer, seemed surprised. She realized then where she had gone to.

“This, don’t tell me, this…!” Reina stuttered.

“Right, just as you have said, this is the Spirit World. A long time ago, there was a gate humans could use to go here in Middle-Earth, but this is the Spirit World.”

“Ahh, the ceremony was a success.”

Reina was very distracted by the light and the explosions of magic circles that happened during the ritual.

However, it seemed like a good thing had happened. Fortunately, the ritual was successful.

“Then, are you guys the spirits who are living here?” Reina asked.

“Obviously. This body is that of a Sylph—the ones who race through the sky.”

The blue kid or Sylph chuckled.
