"Tonellico, what a beautiful name, it sounds like the pure white world tree in the sky."
"Really……"
After hearing these familiar words, Tonelli fell silent. Those fragmented memories came to mind again, and her whole body became gloomy, like flowers that had lost their color, dry and pale.
"How about eating some berries? If you are in a bad mood, eating something sweet can make you feel better. After all, sweetness can enhance happiness, make people feel happy, and can get rid of sadness faster."
Looking at the purple berries handed to him, Tonelli couldn't help but raise his head curiously and stared at the white-haired young man in front of him.
Her favorite thing to eat is this kind of berry, not only her, but also the other fairies of the Rain Clan. There are a lot of these berries in the forest. It can be said that they can be seen everywhere, but they are extremely delicious.
"Thanks……"
She did not take the berries immediately because she suddenly realized a problem - there seemed to be something wrong with her fairy eyes, and she was unable to see through the heart of the young man named Mikael in front of her.
Fairy Eyes are the innate power of fairies. It is similar to the [Devil Eyes], but more accurately it should be called racial talent. It not only has the ability to see whether others are lying, whether there is malice in their hearts, and the true thoughts in their hearts.
, and can also see through deeper existences such as cause and effect.
Of course, not every fairy can possess that level of fairy eyes, but for Toneliko, who comes from the Inner Sea of Stars, her fairy eyes are the most powerful kind.
However, it seemed that the most powerful fairy eyes had lost their due effect. No matter how hard she tried to look, she could only see chaos on the young man in front of her, as if shrouded in a thick mist that could not be dispelled. She could not see anything at all.
to what is in his heart.
Tonelli couldn't help but look at the goblin hiding behind the tree trunk not far away, and "saw" her inner voice. He tried other goblins again, only to find that his goblin eyes had not lost their ability, but they just couldn't.
Just see through the young man in front of me.
After discovering this result, she couldn't help but feel relieved, but at the same time she also felt a touch of regret.
"What's the matter, don't you like these berries?"
Mikael's voice brought her back from her daze. She unexpectedly found that the distance between them was so close, and she could even see her slightly panicked look reflected in those clear blue eyes.
Just looking at those eyes makes my heart feel peaceful inexplicably.
"No, I like it very much, Mr. Mikael..."
Tonellico waved her hands repeatedly and quickly took two steps back to widen the distance between them. For some reason, when Mikael came closer, she instinctively wanted to pick up her cane and hit him with it.
"Just call me Mikael. But I really recommend this berry of yours. Not only is it easy to find, but it also tastes great, without that bitter taste."
Seeing that the girl in front of him still looked slightly hesitant and wary, Mikael couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that the fairies of the Star Inland Sea are indeed different from other creatures. His affinity-increasing magic
The formula didn't work at all.
She seems to have a high resistance to abnormalities, and is completely immune to both [Charm] and [Suggestion]. She can only rely solely on her acting skills to portray a warm-hearted, sunny, and positive kind-hearted person.
——As for why it takes so much trouble?
After looking through the girl's memories, combined with speculation about the world called "The Lost Belt", Mikael easily came up with an answer. This girl named "Toneliko" is most likely...
The existence of the "protagonist" of this Lost Belt.
Following the "protagonist" will help you better understand this world called the Lost Belt and understand the arrangements of the alien god.
Of course, the bigger reason is that I estimate that I will spend a long time here. This process is boring and boring. It may be more interesting to follow the "protagonist", and beautiful girls are very eye-catching. Watching them every day is good for physical and mental health.
.
However, playing the role of a good-hearted person is a bit difficult for me, so I just want to hone my acting skills.
………
Tonellico picked up a berry and took a bite. He felt the familiar sweet juice explode on the tip of his tongue. His floating mood unexpectedly stabilized. Even the sadness was diluted. He was once happy.
The memory came to mind again.
[Maybe this is what he calls happiness? 】
While eating the berries, she was also secretly looking at Mikael. This was the first time she met someone who had the fairy eyes disabled, and although he looked like a fairy, he also had a very awkward sense of disobedience.
My body also inexplicably wants to stay away from him, seemingly out of... fear?
Why should I be afraid of him?
"The fairies of the four tribes - Wind, Earth, Fang, and Wing - left Orkney yesterday and returned to their own territory, so you don't have to worry about your safety for the time being, but they still haven't given up looking for you. I suggest
It's better to stay in this forest for a while."
"Eh - you already know?!"
Hearing Mikael's words, Tonellico suddenly felt a little guilty. She originally thought Mikael didn't know her identity.
"I already knew it when I rescued you three days ago. In fact, it was easy to deduce it, but I could only barely save you."
Mikael spread his hands and pretended to be helpless and said, "Although I am an excellent traveler, I am no match for the combined power of the four goblin clans, especially the Fang Clan, which is the best at fighting."
"I actually fainted for three days..."
"Of course, you were so seriously injured, your magic power was overdrawn, and even the fairy patterns were somewhat damaged. It was beyond my expectation that you only woke up after being unconscious for three days. I thought you would need more
I’ve been sleeping for a while.”
"So Orkney...how is it going now?"
After hesitating for a moment, although he already had the answer, Tonelli still had a little fantasy in his heart. Maybe the patriarch and the others had successfully escaped, maybe they were waiting for him in the shelter of the forest, maybe...
…
But Mikael's words ruthlessly shattered the last bit of fantasy in her heart.
"Orkney has become a ruin, and all the fairies of the Rain Clan have been exterminated. The fairies of the four tribes searched carefully several times and killed all the fairies of the Rain Clan found."
"Everyone...was killed?"
"No one survived."
"I want to go back to Orkney to see it."
Tonellico's voice was very soft, like catkins fluttering in the wind. The sweetness was instantly driven away, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.
