Chapter 19 (2/2)

“But, after a while others started saying what if it was the work of fairies I thought it was idiotic, but as sonore it So to decide it once and for all ent looking in the forest”

Then, in the forest, the thing that looked like so and a picture that was supposedly drawn by fairies has been left there

“Different from the one, the woodcutter found?”

I asked without thinking

“It was a different one For one, it was half a year ago when the woodcutter said that he saw fairies There is no way a pattern drawn on the ground can last that long”

“Where is, that pattern?”

“Deep in the forest, upstreaht the Lord would want to see it so we fenced it off”

‘It creeps everyone out, so no one goes near’ the spokesperson said

“Upstream…”

“It means the upper part of the river”

No, I knohat it means

If there is a fence then I would be able to find it without a guide

While I was thinking that, Julia-kaasan also asked the spokesperson so

“You didn’t pay attention to what the woodcutter-san was saying before, so why did it change after?”

“It was the innkeeper that started saying it that time Don’t know if it was before or after that traveler stayed here”

“Traveler?”

“He said he was co fro one night he said he’s heading to the capital He shared stories about foreign countries, so everyone had a good time”

“Fhnn……?”

Mo her head

I try doing the sa to see

All I see is a sooty beam

That ti space suddenly opened

“――The fairies didn’t do anything wrong!!”

Shouting that, an around 5 years old child ca in

“H-hey, Aino! You are in front of the guests!”

Fro spokesperson, she is probably his daughter

Not reseirl

She looks older than h

“Fairy-san saved me when I was lost and in trouble!”

“Are you still saying that? You had a fever that time What you saas most likely a hallucination”

“No way! It was a blond spirally haired fairy-san! She was very kind!”

‘Ueeee’, Aino-chan started crying

Taking a sidelong glance at the flustered spokesperson, Julia-kaasan tries to pacify Aino-chan

Maybe Aino-chan got tired fro, she fell asleep near the fireplace

“I’m sorry, madam”

“It’s okay She is very charirls at home so I’m envious”

The 3 children of Alfred-tousan’s former wife are all men and I’m also a man

If we say 4 then it feels like a lot, but we are nobles and mom’s own child is only me, so one may yet be born in the future

“It looks like Aino-chan is worried about Boyce-kun”

Aah, I see how it is

I think it’s a bit precocious, but they must’ve been close friends

“All right! Let me do my best too!”

“Huh, madam?”

“Even if I don’t look like it, I’m an ex A-rank adventurer”

‘Ahem’, mom exclaimed

There the village chief, who only watched over the discussion with the spokesperson, cut in suddenly

“We have heard e can’t prepare a fitting reward for an A-rank adventurer?”

“It’s okay~ This is Al-kun’s doht?”

“I-, I see……”

While looking perplexed, the village chief gave an acknowledging response

If it’s an A-rank then perhaps, is probably what he is thinking, but the Julia-kaasan in front of hi like that

It’s unknohether e chief or not

“Edgar-kun, wait here in the house, okay?”

Saying that she set out at once to gather infore

………

What will I do, you ask?

Of course, staying patiently at the village chief’s house is not even an option

After I lost consciousness by doing theand ht up

Only one thing was on my mind

Fairies!

Wanna see!
