Chapter 23 (1/2)

Melby’s preparations for the journey finished in no time

She doesn’t need any food since she lives by absorbing s either

In addition to that, not only does she have a Dimensional Stash, but also if it coe with [Diic] anyti

On the way back we jue with Melby’s [Diic]

It’s awfully convenient, but to be able to ic], first Melby has to leave a Gate in this world

Even if I say it’s a Gate, it’s apparently an invisible mana marker of sorts

Also,from Gate to Gate, in other words, from somewhere in this world to somewhere else in this world is not possible

You can only jue, then fro (when e to this world), you can only use the same Gate you used to arrive

For exae and use that to juh the Riverette Village Gate (although you can leave through the 「Exit」 of Fairy Village which leads to the limestone cave behind the waterfall)

Therefore, e like Riverette Village → Fairy Village → A different Gate is not possible

Well, even then it’s an awfully convenient ic

By the way, my appearance returned to its for barely 8-month-old)

“…Ed, you really were a child, huh”

A bit rew round with surprise

When I was just thinking that the way she displayed her surprise is a bit too weak,

“Well, if you live for a thousand years you get to see all kinds of people”, she said

“Also, Master is about a thousand ti than you”

M that Status I can’t really deny it

As it was dawning in the village, I walked in a way so people wouldn’t notice e chief’s house

“――Don’t move!”

Suddenly, someone called out to me from behind

I turned back with unease

I knew frorim expression on her face

“Get away froar-kun!”

“Huh……?”

Mo near my shoulders

She can see her!?

When she saw Melby, she hurriedly put on an intense expression

“When I suddenly woke up at dawn, Edgar-kun was nowhere to be seen I thoughtperson’s case, so I woke up the village chief and had hilad the culprit was found before that”

“Please wait, Mom! Melby is not at fault here!”

“…really?”

“Really! I’ve become friends with her!”

Mo expression

“I don’t know if you will believe me, but it’s true”

Melby said this to her

Maybe they heardand surrounding us at a distance

The villagers are holding spades, sickles, and hoes in their hands

“I heard fro child’s case in this village It was a coincidence that our Fairy Circle was found near the scene of the crime In the first place, fairies can’t harm people”

The villagers start talking a Melby’s words

Since the villagers can see her, that means Melby decided to show herself, it seems

Since I could see her fro I don’t knohen she did it

“Is that true…?” “Of course it’s a lie” “But, they say fairies can’t lie” “Maybe that’s also a lie” ……

The villagers reaction was filled with doubt

There are no concepts in this world such as a scientific investigation or innocent until proven guilty, huh

Moreover, there some said,

“――Fairies are servants of the devil! Fairies came to eat us!”

A ed felloith an unkempt beard and red face yelled with a hand-axe in one of his hands

This one is probably the woodcutter from the spokesperson’s story

“We can also hide our appearance ――Like this”

Apparently Melby hid her appearance for a moment

The villagers are stirring

“However, as you can see I’ myself If we really abducted the child, then I wouldn’t do such a thing”

The villagers were looking at each other after hearing Melby’s words

It see her

“――Melby-oneechan!”

Suddenly a voice cut in

Rushi+ng out froirl

Weell, she’s that one The one that defended the fairies in the village chief’s house

Her name was… yes, Aino-chan

“Oh, you are…”

“It’s Aino! When I got lost before Big Sister saved me!”

“Right, that’s hoas You got bigger since I last saw you”

Melby flew over to near Aino-chan’s head and affectionately patted her head
