[Right, we were released because of the holy water that Liel gave us]
Sudar and Johnny flew in front of Teacher Teto’s nose.
“Released?”
Teacher Teto paused for a moment and looked at the Merket, Sudar, and Johnny alternately.
“It’s from the Merket you gave her.”
Cardin drove a huge wedge into Teacher Teto, who was confused by Sudar and Johnny. Elvin added an explanation to Teacher Teto, who seemed stunned.
“They are fairies. Until now, they were stuck in a flower called Merket and couldn’t come out.”
“Did you say fairy? The fairies were trapped in the Merket.…?”
Teacher Teto’s eyes grew wider than before. Sudar and Johnny laughed loudly because Teacher Teto’s reaction was funny.
“Yes, and I don’t know why, but the princess has been hearing the voices of fairies for a long time and has been looking for a way to break the curse.”
Teacher Teto’s eyes reached me at Elvin’s words.
“Then the princess has been hearing the voices of the fairies from the beginning?”
“Yes, I heard it when I first saw it in the lab.”
“That’s why you asked if the Merket could speak…….”
Teacher Teto seemed to recall the day I first visited the lab.
Teacher Teto, who quickly understood the situation with his extraordinary head, raised a different question.
“But how come only the princess could hear their voice?”
I was also curious about that.
Why only I could hear a voice that no one could hear.
[Liel is different from other humans]
[That’s right. I can feel a completely different energy from the humans I’ve seen before]
Said Sudar and Johnny, landing on my head.
Teacher Teto, who was listening to the two, opened his mouth as he swept his chin.
“If it’s energy… Maybe you’re talking about the power that the princess has.”
It was a plausible inference. I have power beyond the immutable laws of the world.
[I can feel the opposite energy from the bad energy that kept us in flowers]
[That’s right! Even if you go to that land, Liel will not be dragged away and will not change.]
Cardin, who was still listening to Sudar and Johnny, opened his mouth.
“Isn’t it only you fairies who are dragged and changed?”
After hearing Cardin’s words, Sudar and Johnny were silent for a while.
All I could see was a small chunk of light, but I had the feeling that if they had a head they would be tilting their head to the fullest.
[Human beings can be dragged and changed! You didn’t know?]
[Animal friends, too]
“What?”
I was the one who tilted my head to the answer of the two, which seemed to be a natural fact.
“People and animals’ change?”
Didn’t you say that only fairies like Sudar and Johnny are caught in the energy of the northern land and trapped in flowers?
[Yes! We’re trapped in flowers but living creatures turn black]
[they became huge and black. They screamed loudly.….]
As Sudar and Johnny continued, there was a sense of silence in the room.
“Don’t tell me… does it change like this?”
Teacher Teto drew something on a paper with an urgent touch and showed it to Sudar and Johnny.
[Oh, right! It’s the same!]
[Wow, it’s amazing]]
Surprised by Teacher Teto’s painting skills, Sudar and Johnny made a continuous sound of admiration.
But no one in the room hastily opened their mouths.
The paper in Teacher Teto’s hand fell to the floor. The paper with the ballroom on it finally landed on the floor.
“Please take a good look again. Well, do people and animals really change like this when they’re caught in that bad energy?”
Teacher Teto’s voice trembled violently when he picked up the paper that fell on the floor.
[Really. While we were trapped in flowers, we didn’t see many humans, but we saw animals get caught and change like that!]
Teacher Teto dropped his hand weakly at Sudar’s confident voice.
I was also briefly taken aback by the words of Sudar and Johnny. That’s because no one has ever discovered where and how the ballroom reproduces. Even in the novel, the origin of the ballroom was never mentioned, so the fact that Sudar told us now came as a big shock.
So, all the ballrooms they killed were people and animals.
Everyone in the room looked serious with their mouths shut as if they had realized the fact.
“The northern mountain range, where the ballroom appears, has been closed to the public for more than 300 years. If what they say is true, the ballrooms we’ve seen so far are mostly animals that turned into beasts.”
Cardin said, tapping regularly on the handle of the chair.
“The way this troublesome thing can be killed is by using both magical and holy powers at the same time and the way this thing is born is also unusual.”
“We need to tighten restrictions on mountain ranges.”
Elvin said with a worried look.
“Let it be so. I don’t think there’s a crazy person who wants to go in even if we tighten our access restrictions.”
It was fortunate that no one would move their feet to the northern mountain range unless they went to die on their own.
“Then we should say that most of the mutations that will happen in the future are caused by animals.”
Teacher Teto was thinking about something.
“Then why don’t we put a checkpoint near the northern mountain range?”
Teacher Teto hypothesized that if animals were blocked from entering and leaving the northern mountain range, the number of ballrooms could be reduced.
Cardin nodded quietly and said he would talk to Grandpa Mejihos soon.
This is because an extensive barrier to enclose a vast mountain range was not something that could be easily done.
“By the way, if the method succeeds, there will be much less northern suppression every few years.”
Elvin said to Cardin with a hint of delight. Cardin also echoed Elvin’s words.
Ballroom, which does not die without magic and holy power, grows in two years at the earliest. Of the many who have been sent to the Northern Expedition to fight, the number of people who have lost their lives has also not been small.
Now that they know how the ballroom is born, they could expect that there would be less loss of innocent lives.
[Ugh…]
[Phew…]
At that time, Sudar and Johnny, who were flying around the room, fell helplessly to the floor.
“Sudar! Johnny!”
Sitting down, I jumped up and ran to the place where Sudar and Johnny fell.
Then, I gently swept the two beams of light lying on the floor in my hand.
“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? Are you sick?”
I was worried when their light suddenly became weaker than before.
If the fairies got sick, there was no way to treat them.
[Ugh… Liel. It’s because we’re out of energy.]
[This isn’t our original appearance.]
Sudar and Johnny continued in a remarkably exhausted voice.
The reason why everyone in the room can see Sudar and Johnny is because they used their power to look like that.
[This is how much power we have left. We can’t go back to our original appearance.]
“If you don’t use your strength now, will you be okay again?”
[Well…]
The light from Sudar and Johnny’s body flickered faintly.
[We are the beings that need to share and gain strength while roaming around nature. We haven’t gained strength for so long; it seems like we’ve reached the limit…]
“Then what should I do? Is there anything I can do to help you?”
Sudar and Johnny grinned at my worried question.
[Liel’s face is funny…. Don’t do it because it’s ugly.]
[Don’t worry]
Sudar and Johnny, who were hanging weakly in my hands, slowly floated themselves in the air.
[We have to leave here to regain our strength.]
The two said they had to wander around nature for a very long time to restore their lost strength to its original state.
And they had a responsibility to spread the word to other fairies so that there would be no fairies like themselves that go to the northern mountains and get caught and trapped in flowers.
“Then…… I have to leave now.”
I immediately understood what the two of them were saying, but I couldn’t help but be confused by the sudden breakup.
It was a parting that came too soon. Sudar and Johnny are happy that they were released from the curse.
[I’ll be back after gaining some strength. I promise!]
[The promise that Liel made last time. Let’s do that.]
Said Sudar and Johnny, clinging to my right thumb and little finger, respectively.
I guess they remembered that people hang their fingers when they make promises.
“Phew… yes, promise.”
I shook my right hand gently up and down with a small burst of laughter.
[Then, we’ll be back….]
After saying goodbye by saying goodbye to me, Sudar and Johnny flew to the window.
They didn’t go right away, but stopped by the window, it seemed like they were looking back at me
“Hurry up and come back!”
I took a deep breath and laughed as brightly as I could.
Only then did the two lump of light that remained by the window fly high into the real sky and disappear soon.
I hung from the window and looked up at the blue sky.
It was disappointing to think that I could no longer hear the noise that I hear every day, but I was not sad.
I don’t know when it will be, but there will be a time when they will come back from a long trip.
“P, Princess. Don’t be too sad……. That, if there is an encounter, there will be a parting someday, no. not this.”
From behind came the voice of Elvin, who was heard.
Grasping the window sill tightly and looking up at the sky, I had no idea what I look like now.
I turned around and got back to my seat.
Three pairs of eyes were carefully following my movements.
What should I say, I managed to endure the fact that I was about to laugh because I felt restless with different eyes?
“Are you okay?”
This time it was Cardin.
As I sat still without saying anything, Cardin’s awkward touch touched my shoulder.
He looked worried and cautious that tears might come out of my eyes if he touched me.
