[Haijin] Kiss the Fairy Feather

"Yes! It's more natural than just inviting one person. It's best to bring your important friend with you!"

"Eh?" Harlequin was taken aback for a moment, and said in embarrassment, "This...I'm afraid it won't work..."

"why?"

"He...he can't come..."

"Can't come?" Meliodas and Elizabeth exchanged a puzzled look, and then asked, "Is it a netizen who lives elsewhere?" After much deliberation, there is no other possibility.Neither of them could see which classmate or friend Harlequin was getting close to.

"no……"

Harlequin's denial made the duo even more curious.

Meliodas asked, "Who else is there?"

"..."

Harlequin didn't know how to explain it, but he thought that he was the one who troubled the captain and Lady Elizabeth with something, and if he continued to cover up, he was really sorry for the two of them.

So he decided to tell the truth.

"When I was very young... once we mentioned a friend to you, and you said that we were dreaming."

Harlequin's answer surprised both of them.

"You, you mean, that friend you saw in your dream..."

"Hmm...that's not a dream." Harlequin thought for a while, then corrected, "It's not an ordinary dream. He told us that it was a place called the capital of the dead."

"The capital of the dead?!" The two couldn't help exclaiming in unison.

"Eh? Do you know that place?"

"Ah, well, let's just say it." Meliodas replied ambiguously, "So you mean that your friend is dead?"

"……Um……"

Meliodas and Elizabeth exchanged glances again.

Elizabeth asked: "Can you tell us his name?"

"His name is Heilbram."

"What kind of person is he?"

"Short yellow-green hair, pointy ears, and beautiful wings. Because he said he was a fairy."

"I see..." Meliodas nodded slowly.

"That...about the capital of the dead..."

Harlequin wanted to ask more about the capital of the dead, but was interrupted by Meliodas: "We will discuss this question later. The important thing now is the birthday party the day after tomorrow, right? If your friend can't come, it's fine." There is a way, but Elizabeth and I will also invite some old friends to your party, okay?"

"Of course!" Harlequin nodded quickly.Even though it was his birthday, the group leader and Lady Elizabeth would be busy preparing for the party, how could he refuse!

"Who does Master Meliodas want to invite?" Instead, Elizabeth asked in confusion.It seems that there are only a few of their friends who are still alive, right?Among them, there are only three who have something to do with the Fairy King.

"Don't be busy, let's continue." Meliodas motioned to Elizabeth with his eyes, and then he went back and said, "Then is how to propose a breakup... If you want me to tell you, let's talk about it before the birthday party is over. !"

"Eh? But is this okay?" Harlequin expressed uneasiness at the bold suggestion made by the head of the group.

"That's good!" Meliodas was very excited for some reason, "Your birthday is April Fool's Day, a day when you won't be blamed even if you lie, and everything you say is hard to distinguish between true and false. Embarrassing. If the other party doesn't believe it, you just need to emphasize that you are telling the truth, and then let her digest it by herself!"

...Should I say that it is the head of the group, Jiang, or the old spicy?But is this too harsh?

As if seeing Harlequin's hesitation, Meliodas darkened his face and said, "Since we have already decided in our hearts, we must be so cruel. Useless sympathy is just an irresponsible self It's just satisfaction. Or, are you worried that people will gossip if you do this? Is the person you value not as important as not wanting to be gossiped?"

"Of, of course not!" Harlequin immediately denied it when the leader said so.

"Then what are you afraid of? My best friend, but for his important person, even I can make up my mind to kill him!" Meliodas said and shrugged, "Well, I don't know him anyway. Your girlfriend, compared with her, of course considers a method that is more beneficial to you, if you can't bear it, you can think of other methods yourself. "

...Indeed, no matter what the way of breaking up is, it has to be digested by the other party.The group leader's starting point is also completely understandable... It is really inappropriate for him to care about whether this idea is good or not, even though he raised the question himself and hoped for someone to help him with an idea.

So Harlequin nodded and accepted the proposal.

"Very good!" Meliodas clapped his hands again, "Then the problem will be solved! Come and eat quickly, it's almost cold. After going back, I have to plan what to prepare for the party the day after tomorrow. Jin, I'll leave the task of purchasing the goods to you, no problem?"

"Good, good!"

When they returned home after dinner, the three of them got together again to discuss the preparations for the party and recorded everything they needed. On the way, Harlequin also received a condolence call from his girlfriend, Meliodas He pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, but Elizabeth pulled his ears away.

Fortunately, the girl was not feeling well in Harlequin, so she didn't drag him to chat for too long. She just said that she was looking forward to the party the day after tomorrow, and asked him to rest early today, so she hung up the phone, so that Harlequin didn't know what mood to talk to the girl. embarrassment.

After the family meeting, it was getting late, and the three of them said good night to each other and went back to their room.

When only herself and Lord Meliodas were left in the room, Elizabeth asked, "Master Meliodas, who do you want to invite to the party?"

"Marlene will definitely come. She just said two days ago that she will come tomorrow." Speaking of this, Meliodas made a short pause and said, "By the way, you can ask her where Ben is. .”

"...Do you want to call Mr. Ban to come?"

"Ah... it's almost time to tell him."

"But Lord Jin and that Heilbram..."

Meliodas buried his head in Elizabeth's chest, hugged her slender waist, and said in a muffled voice, "It's hard for me too, Elizabeth..."

☆、Chapter Twelve of the Present World

Harlequin, who returned to his room, almost couldn't wait to summon Heilbram, and immediately lay down on the bed and fell asleep.After successfully entering the City of the Dead, he first gave Heilbram a long hug.

"Sure enough, we still like your scent the most... what is it?" Harlequin buried his face in Heilbram's shoulder, sniffing intoxicated.

"Eh? Wh, what's the smell?" Harlequin's breath made Helbram's neck itchy, but he couldn't dodge too exaggeratedly, so he could only let the other party hold him stiffly, and stammered, "Y-Is it me? I'm a sunflower fairy, so it should be the scent of sunflowers..."

"Sunflower Fairy?"

"Yes, yes! Every fairy has a different scent. Nao is the same, so there is nothing strange..."

"We are the same?" Harlequin repeated Heilbram's words again, let go of his hand and looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean we are the same?"

"Ah..." Heilbram scratched the back of his head apologetically, "Did I forget to mention it? Nai is also a fairy, so Nai also smells like flowers."

"We?" Harlequin raised his arm and sniffed it, and said in confusion, "There is nothing..." Finally, he shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no! The important thing is, we, we are also elves?! "

"Well, it's not just an ordinary goblin." Helbram was satisfied with Harlequin's dumbfounded look, and said proudly, "But he's the king of the goblin clan!"

"king?!"

"Yes, my Fairy King." Heilbram smiled warmly.

Harlequin's face darkened, and he said in disappointment: "That's not us now, it's us a long time ago. Now we are just ordinary human beings."

What kind of goblin, what kind of goblin king, he has no real feeling at all.Even the fact that Heilbram, who has been with him for many years, is actually a fairy, was only found out today.

For him, goblins and the like simply exist in fairy tales.Even if I was a fairy a long time ago, it has nothing to do with my current self.

"It's not like that." Helbram took Harlequin's hand and said seriously, "Na in this life does possess the magical power of the elves. If it wasn't like that, in the car accident when Nai was young, I don’t have enough magical power to protect him, but he’s very comprehensive.” Seeing that Harlequin still had an expression of disbelief, the elf boy smiled and whispered “Symbolism”.

Harlequin only felt his feet lighten, and his eye level suddenly rose, so startled that he couldn't help but yelled.

"It won't fall, don't panic, just hold on to the puppet." Heilbram put his hand on Harlequin's waist to help him stabilize his figure, "Don't worry about your feet, just imagine that you can do it without stepping on anything Floating in the air like a fish in water."

Harlequin swallowed, took a deep breath, and tried to hook his feet up, move to the right, and rise again.The body is really like being in water... No, the pressure of water is much greater than that of air!

"It's amazing... This is really amazing, Heilbram!" Harlequin was very excited.In the past, he also had the experience of flying around in his dreams, but he was completely out of control in his dreams. The feeling of wanting to stop and being unable to stand, was actually not a good feeling.

But this kind of flight, there is no discomfort at all!

Soon, instead of being pulled, Harlequin was pulling Heilbram and flying around.

Really... Is it worthy of being the former Fairy King?Adaptability is so strong that it is terrifying!

...Although he can only fly with the help of "synchronization" now, his speed is really not ordinary fast, and Heilbram feels that he can hardly hold back.

"Slow down, slow down, Harlequin!"

He remembered that they once had a match. Harlequin, who didn't even know what a match was at the time, asked him what was the point of such a match, but at the same time won him by an overwhelming advantage. It was really dumbfounding.

Just when he was lost in memory, in a moment of distraction, Harlequin's hand was suddenly pulled from his hand.

With a scream, he saw Harlequin falling rapidly to the ground.

"Harlequin—!" Heilbram was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, and hurriedly rushed towards Harlequin at the fastest speed, seeing that the opponent was about to fall to the ground, and he left The opponent was still quite a distance away, and Heilbram was very anxious.Although they are only spirit bodies here, their senses are real.Harlequin is a living person, and if he falls like this, he doesn't know what the consequences will be!How could I be so careless?Why didn't you hold on tight? !If something happens to Harlequin because of this...

Heilbram didn't dare to think about it.

Just as tears blurred his vision, he saw Harlequin open his arms towards him, and he threw himself into his arms like this, and after being hugged tightly, he fell to the ground, rolled several times, and got wet. Covered with blades of grass.

"...so, so heavy..." Harlequin, who was pressed tightly under his body, couldn't help but groaned.

Heilbram, who was absent-minded, moved away from his friend in a daze, not knowing what happened for a moment.

"Phew - I really scared us to death." Harlequin sat up and moved his chest.

"I... I'm going to be scared to death, alright!" Helbram, who had regained his composure, roared angrily, and then went up and down to check whether Harlequin was injured.

"We're fine...it's you, we thought you were going to hit the ground seeing you rushing over at such a fast speed!"

That's why he picked himself up like that to buffer the momentum?

...Eh, wait?Is such a thing possible? !

Before Heilbram could think about what was going on, Harlequin had already given the answer.

He stood up and said excitedly, "Look!"

Then Heilbram was surprised to find that Harlequin's feet left the ground and floated lightly.

"Nai, nai, nai..." He pointed at his friend and struggled to come up with a complete sentence, "How did you do it?!"

"Eh? We just did as you said..." Harlequin's expression told Heilbram that he didn't quite know what was going on, "It was just when I fell, because I was too scared, I subconsciously imagined what Heilbram said, and then I felt like I could float..."

...Is it because there are only spirit bodies?If the body is the shell and the soul is the essence, without the wrapping of the shell, the magic power emitted by the spirit body may be even stronger.

"Ha——" Heilbram sighed, "I'm so scared to death...but this guy is really amazing..."

"But, is it really possible to fall to death in this kind of place? We here are just spirit bodies, right?"

"Of course!" Heilbram couldn't help roaring, "Even if it is a spirit body, it is closely connected with Nai's body! Nai should have heard of the example of dying in a dream, right?"

"Well……"

"Anyway, it's fine..." Heilbram said.Although it is a bit regretful that the chance to hold Harlequin's hand all the time, which seemed natural, is gone so soon, but I am also sincerely happy for him. Does this mean that he is close to recovering the magic power of the Fairy King? What about a step?

"Then, in reality, can we fly like this?!" But Harlequin asked again with anticipation.

"This... I can't say for sure." Heilbram said, "However, it is not allowed to make any dangerous moves in reality!"

"We...we know..." Harlequin said weakly, "But here, we can keep flying, right?"

"Aren't you just flying now? I can't bear to come down!" Heilbram laughed.

"Because this is really great! Goblins are so powerful!" Harlequin excitedly made a 360-degree turn in the air, "Hey, Heilbram, you know? Want to fly! In order to be able to fly, they invented hot air balloons, airplanes, and later rockets, spaceships, and even outer space! However, those who can only use cumbersome tools, humans still cannot fly Get up. Even if you go to outer space and lose the shackles of gravity, other things will also lose weight, and it looks like you have to work hard to drink saliva. But the goblin can do what humans dream of so easily!"

Heilbram laughed and said, "It's really strange to hear such words from Nai, who is the king of elves! I used to have a 'human' in one bite!"

Harlequin's smile suddenly became bitter: "...But we are not some fairy king..."

In Heilbram's eyes, what is really important is the self from long ago, right?The present self is just a stranger who knows nothing and is the most familiar...

"I'm sorry...we don't know anything about the past..."

"Why do you have to apologize?" Heilbram said hastily, "There will be more time to talk to Nai slowly! By the way... I will take Nai to a place! Come!" In order to cheer up his friend, Heilbram Ram took Harlequin's hand again, and led him to fly in the direction of the giant cherry tree.

☆、Chapter Thirteen

13. Chapter Thirteen

"Where are we going? Under that big tree?" The feeling of the cool wind blowing on his face was so comfortable, Harlequin's mood improved a lot, and he asked expectantly.

"Do you care about that tree?" Helbram, who was flying ahead, turned around and asked.

"Well... I'm a little concerned. When I saw it before, because it was shrouded in fog, I wondered what the pink thing was. But no matter how close we got to it, it was still as far away, like hanging It was the same as the moon. Later, its shape became a little clearer, and it seemed to be a huge pink cauliflower, so I became more curious..."

"Cauliflower?!" Heilbram exclaimed in disbelief, and then laughed exaggeratedly, "Hahahaha! Nai actually sees the sacred tree as a cauliflower!!"

"God tree?"

"That's the name of that tree!"

"So it's called the Divine Tree..."

"Yes, yes!" Heilbram's laughter didn't stop, causing him to convulse, "However, unfortunately, the tree I saw was just a background in the distance. That's all."

Background?No wonder... No wonder I have been walking for so long, but I haven't been able to get close to that piece of pink.

"The magic power of the real sacred tree is too strong, and I can't reproduce the existence of higher power than my own." Heilbram explained, "The sacred tree and the fairy king are the patron saints who protect the forest of the fairy king and the entire fairy family. , without one of them, the forest is not safe.”

"'Fairy King Forest'? Is that the name of this forest?"

"That's right! Of course, it refers to the real Forest of the Fairy King. This place is just an illusion!" Heilbram said relaxedly, pointing to the ground not far ahead, and said, "We are here!"

Before their eyes was a small jungle of mushrooms with huge caps.They landed on one of the mushrooms, and the touch under their feet was very soft, like stepping on a thin silk blanket.

"This is the place where we come to play most often!" Heilbram said, "Not only is there delicious water, delicious mushrooms, but the sun is also very good. Nai, I like lying here and basking in the sun the most. It's time for a nap!"

Hearing what Heilbram said, Harlequin tried to lie down.

"Really...it's soft and warm, and it smells a little fragrant...it's so comfortable!" Harlequin couldn't help rolling on it.

"Really?" Heilbram also lay down, put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes comfortably, and crossed his legs.

"But it's so strange... Shouldn't mushrooms be shade-loving? The mushrooms here are not only warmed by the sun, but they can also grow so big..."

"Because it's not a mushroom, it's a mushroom-like plant." Heilbram explained, "However, this is a plant that only exists in the Fairy King's Forest, so it's normal if you don't know it."

"Eh—" Harlequin exclaimed, "what's it called?"

"We call it the 'fungus mother bed'. Come with me." Heilbram said, got up and flew to the ground.

Harlequin also flew down and followed Heilbram to the bottom of the "cap".The huge and thick canopy completely blocks the sun, making it very cold and humid underneath, and there are many delicious-looking small mushrooms growing on the trunk.

"It's like the big mushroom carrying many small mushrooms, plus the big mushroom provides a good environment for the growth of the small mushrooms, so it's called the 'mother bed', how, it fits the name?" Heilbram laughed, At this moment, a mushroom has been picked from the top, and I ate it happily, and I finished one in two or three bites, and I also sucked the powder on my fingers.

Eh?Just eat like this?

Harlequin stared blankly at Heilbram and took another one to eat in satisfaction, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it delicious?"

"Of course!"

So Harlequin also picked one and bit it down.The plump juice, plus the sweet and refreshing taste, are mushrooms so delicious when eaten raw? !

In the blink of an eye, three mushrooms entered Harlequin's stomach.

Heilbram looked at him with a smile, and when he had eaten another one, he greeted, "Come here!"

They came to another "mushroom bed" under the canopy. Heilbram picked a different-looking small mushroom and gave it to Harlequin, saying, "Try this again?"

Harlequin took a bite, this time the mushrooms tasted glutinous and a little salty, very delicious.

It's incredible!

"Not bad! Try this again?"

Heilbram took Harlequin to taste several more mushrooms, and finally came to a nearby stream.

"Drink the water too?"

Harlequin squatted down as promised, took a sip of water with his hand.

"... Delicious!"

"right!"

"Hmm! I've never drank such delicious water! How should I put it... It's just water, but it has just the right amount of sweetness. It's cold and delicious!"

"Of course! This is the water of the Fairy King's Forest!" Helbram proudly crossed his hips.

Huh……?But isn't this forest an illusion created by Heilbram?Why can everything here be eaten and tasted?Harlequin thought.

... Well, these are not important, whether it is a dream or an illusion, the fact is that he can really feel everything here, if he wants to describe it, it is like Harry Potter who has just entered the magical world, full of novelty And be pleasantly surprised!

What's more, it's still with the person I like... This kind of satisfaction is even more doubled!

Thinking of this, Harlequin couldn't wait to ask, "Is there anything else interesting?"

"There are a lot of fun places, but it's time to rest today."

"Eh—?! But it's still early, isn't it?"

"I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, so of course I have to make up for it." Heilbram said seriously, seeing Harlequin pouting and wanting to refute, he cut off the conversation and said, "Although it's not right...but I don't know. I also said that staying here for too long will affect my normal rest, so..."

Having said that... But Harlequin still wants to spend more time with Heilbram, even if it's just for a while...

"By the way!" He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked, "You said... Although our physical body is lying on the bed, our spiritual body has not fallen asleep here, so if we don't come back all night, it is equivalent to staying up all night, and we have not gained true love. Is that what you mean by rest?"

"That's it!"

"What if we sleep here?"

"Huh?" Heilbram couldn't help being taken aback by saying this.

"Let's sleep here, so we can get rest! The body is already lying on the bed, so there will be no problem!"

"But, after all, this is the capital of the dead, if you stay here for a long time..."

"No, no! The next morning we wake up and go back, can't we? If we sleep late, Heilbram will wake us up!"

"Harlequin..."

Watched by his best friend with expectant and pleading eyes, Heilbram's thoughts seemed to return to the distant past.

——It's really... I'm being lazy again.

——It doesn't matter, it's so peaceful anyway, just take a nap and rest for a while!You see the sun is so good today, you should have a warm sleep under the sun at this time!

——Yes!But if I fish here, I will be taught a lesson!He will definitely be pointed at by that old goblin Gerald and scolded, "What have you done as Lord Harlequin's assistant!" and so on!

——Sorry, sorry~ How about you come and sleep together?

——I don’t want to, it’s better to go shopping than to sleep.Do you want to come together?

— we don't want it.

——Okay then, I’ll sleep here, I’ll go outside to play occasionally, no one will stop anyone, how about a tie?

—…Remember to come back early to wake us up.

Heilbram felt his vision blur again.

"Helbram, what's wrong with you?" Harlequin saw the tears in his eyes, and reached out to touch his face, but Heilbram grabbed his wrist.

"Then sleep here, sleep at ease, I will wake you up occasionally, don't go anywhere..."

"……it is good."

The two returned to the soft and warm umbrella top and lay down side by side.Harlequin was fantasizing that it would be nice if he could get closer, but Heilbram had already opened his arms and invited him to sleep on it.

"Is it cold on my body?" He asked softly.

Harlequin shook his head and slipped into Helbram's arms.

If your body is cold or something, just warm yourself up.he thinks.

Harlequin feels reassured by the close proximity of roses, which more than makes up for the cold touch.

"Heilbram really smells good..." He couldn't help whispering.

"Na, naa..." Heilbram twitched in bewilderment, "It's really..."

"What?" Harlequin looked at Heilbram in puzzlement, but saw that the other party avoided his gaze as if he had been electrocuted, and even his earlobes were red. He became more and more surprised, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Heilbram hesitated for a long time before explaining bluntly: "Uh...actually...that..." He swallowed, and said, "Yes...for the elves, it's better to praise other elves. The smell is very good, yes, it means wanting sex..."

"Eh?!" Harlequin jumped up from Helbram's arms in shock, and apologized again and again, "Yes, I'm sorry! We, we don't know about that...we're not..."

"I know. If you don't know, there's nothing you can do..."

It's just that if he doesn't tell the other party quickly, if he encounters this situation again, he can't guarantee how he will react!

"Okay, go to sleep." He pulled Harlequin into his arms again, hugged him gently, and said, "Good night."

"Well... good night, Heilbram."

☆、Chapter [-] of Dream Legend

Heilbram was several decades older than Harlequin, and was born when the third generation of Fairy King Dahlia was alive.

Fairies are a very long-lived but very fragile race. They have powerful magic power and a body that will not get sick or rot even after death, but their hand-to-hand combat ability is almost zero, and they are easy to die from overwork.Therefore, it is supposed to be the longest-lived fairy king in the fairy clan, as if under some kind of curse, none of them can live beyond [-] years old, like a flash in the pan, when their life is going to glory, the curtain comes to an end.

Heilbram got acquainted with three generations of Fairy Kings by accident.At that time, he was keen on exploring, so by chance, he bumped into the dahlia who was fishing... oh no, it was a dahlia taking a nap.

The goblins are lazy by nature, content with their destiny, hate disputes, and hate troublesome things. Unfortunately, as a goblin king, many things have to be taken care of even if they don't want to.

"Ah, I'm so exhausted...I just want to lie in the flowers and sleep in the sun, what broken agreements, what broken documents, all go to hell!"

After confirming that Heilbram would not tell that workaholic Gerald about his laziness, the dahlia began to roll around among the flowers in an extremely inconspicuous manner.

...It's really hard to imagine that this guy is the noble and elegant fairy king in their eyes...

"Hey, kid, what's your name?"

"Helbram."

"Oh yes, Heilbram. How did you come here? This is a treasure I found with great difficulty... If even a child like you can find it easily... Then I have to consider finding another place to hide It's... umm."

"I just came here for adventure, and generally no one will find it, don't worry." Heilbram said honestly.

"Adventure?" Dahlia jumped up in shock as if she had heard such a terrible word, and raised the little Heilbram to look up and down, "Are you really a child of a goblin? Could it be that you got in somewhere? Human?!"

Fairies had no wings or pointed ears when they were young. Except for the unique fragrance of flowers and the wide difference in body shape, their appearance is actually no different from that of human children.

"Of course I'm an elf, otherwise how could I fly!" Heilbram replied speechlessly.

Dahlia sniffed the smell of Heilbram, and then nodded knowingly: "Mmm... Rose. You are a fairy. But fairies who like to explore are too rare. I was shocked and thought it was a human." The child broke in. Well, this is the edge of the forest after all."

"Does Lady Dahlia hate humans too?" Heilbram asked.

"Eh? Why do you ask that?"

"Elves and humans are obviously not hostile races, but most elves hate humans."

"Probably because human beings are greedy and cunning, and they look bad." Dahlia replied casually, laying her hands on the back of her head and lying back, "Well, I don't have any prejudice against human beings. On the contrary, human beings are not immutable like fairies. I find it quite interesting.”

"Eh?!" Heilbram asked in surprise, "Master Dahlia likes humans?!"

"I can't say I like it, but I don't hate it either." Dahlia said, "It's a fact to be careful about human beings, but it's also a fact that not all human beings are bad people."

"How do you tell if it's good or bad?"

"..." Dahlia, who was about to take a nap, became a little impatient, and waved her hand, "How do I know...Okay, I'm going to sleep! The kids are going to play elsewhere...Ah, don't tell Gerald I am here!"

Thus ended their first conversation.

When I saw Dahlia again, it was after Heilbram was selected by the sacred tree to be the alternate assistant of the next Fairy King, and was taken to meet the Fairy King by the current assistant.

"I didn't expect you to be the candidate, um...what's your name?" Dahlia smiled with interest.

"Helbram."

"Oh yes, Heilbram."

"You know each other?" Gerald wondered.

"I met once." Dahlia replied, "I would like to have a good chat with him if possible."

After Dahlia sent Gerald away, she told Heilbram that the next Fairy King has actually been decided, because his time is running out.

Just to prevent commotion, the selection of the Fairy King is not public, only the current Fairy King and the current assistant know.When the current Fairy King died, the so-called ceremony to choose the next Fairy King was only on the surface. In fact, before that, Shenshu had already chosen the next Fairy King.

"Why are you telling me this?" Heilbram asked strangely.Even though he was selected as an alternate, it does not mean that he will take office with the next Fairy King.

Dahlia asked, "Do you want to be this assistant?"

Heilbram was silent.

Dahlia said again: "Just tell the truth."

So Heilbram replied: "I don't understand why Shenshu chooses me as a backup at all. I have neither experience nor interest in assisting the Fairy King, and I don't have the awareness like Lord Gerald."

"That's right...the divine tree...it's really a just and cruel existence. It decides the life of others regardless of one's own wishes." Dahlia said quietly, "But, after hearing your answer, I suddenly Now I understand a little bit why the sacred tree chose you."

"Why?" Heilbram asked.

"Gerald is a competent assistant. As the assistant of two successive kings, she taught me a lot and helped me a lot... But she will never understand what kind of country I really want The goblin is too static, and it has been like this for thousands of years. I don’t know if it’s good or not, but I know that I don’t love this place as much as I thought. I’m not sick or hurt, but I’m tired. Maybe, not It's not that I'm running out of time, it's that I'm letting myself run out of time."

"...Do you want to die?" Heilbram asked.

Dahlia didn't answer, but just said to herself: "...I don't understand why a guy like me who is lazy, irresponsible, and just wants to sleep under the sun every day is chosen by the sacred tree to be Fairy King. But now I just want to return to the flowers..." He closed his eyes, felt the fragrance of the flowers brought by the wind, and showed an expression of enjoyment.

If you don't want to be an assistant, don't force yourself to be one.You just need to support your Fairy King in your own way... Rather than being an assistant who can tell you what to do, I think the Fairy King wants someone by his side who can understand his thoughts...

After saying what she wanted to say without authorization, Dahlia drove Helbram away as rudely as the first time.

A few days later, Fairy King Zhisen announced the name of the next Fairy King.
