Chapter 908 – Guides

000

The road leading up to the huge tent that was introduced as a castle by the fairy couple was longer than I thought.

To the naked eye, it didn’t seem that far away, but the space seemed to have been compressed, like a piece of paper folded into several layers.

As I got closer to the castle, I couldn’t feel the sense of getting closer, only the surrounding scenery changed.

“Now, wait… Time… Let’s take a break…”

It was Lila who first raised a tired voice.

She probably didn’t have that much stamina to walk using Kuon’s body, but she spoke as if she was somehow tired.

She must have been having trouble breathing, so she placed both hands under her chest.

Does she also feel heavy?

＂Lila…? … Hot!?”

And, when Kuon, who entered Amelia’s body, examines her Lyla, she too has a surprised face and approaches her wearing her own body, placing her hand on her shoulder and holding her face. It was blushing.

＂Cleon, just a moment… Can you wait for a minute?＂

“Huh? Ah, ah… I understand. I’ve been walking for about 30 minutes since I talked to the fairies earlier. Let’s take a little rest.”

After hearing Cleon’s answer, Cuon took Lila and carefully returned to the back of the tent next to her.

“Wait, where are you going?”

＂Well, it will come soon!＂

Cleon looked strangely at the two people who left without answering.

“Well, anyway, it’s not getting any closer. Not that huge tent… But the Fairy King’s castle…”

Then, as if it wasn’t just Lila who was tired, Sasha also carefully lowered her butt to the ground and sat down.

If she were the original Lila, she wouldn’t have laid anything on the dirt floor, but she was like Sasha, and she had no hesitation. As soon as she heard her say that she was resting, she sat down and started resting.

“Is Amelia okay?”

“Yes. I’m fine. Is it because of Cleon’s trained body?”

As Amelia looked at her own body, Cleon was scratching her head.

[Wow. Cleon, he looks like he doesn’t hate it.]

[I feel like I’m a little excited because my body is being praised by a girl~]

At the sound of the two swords coming from his waist, Cleon cleared his throat.

“Whoa… But you two are in big trouble.”

At that time, Sasha seemed to have relaxed a little, and she turned to Amelia and Cleon and spoke.

“… Huh? “The two of us?”

＂Why?＂

“To? But… You both are in bodies of a different gender than your original bodies, right? Mr. Cleon is in my body, and Amelia is in Mr. Cleon’s body… Even if it’s okay right now, when it’s time to go to the bathroom…”

After hearing those words, Cleon was silent for a moment, and Amelia blushed as if she had never thought of it before.

“Now, wait a minute! Is Sasha okay?! “Ugh, what should I say to Cleon…”

“Yes? I’m fine. I have already shown everything to Mr. Cleon. Hehe. “

＂Everything!?＂

“Wait a minute, Sasha! That expression may cause a bit of misunderstanding!”

When Cleon also raised her voice in embarrassment, Sasha had no choice but to tilt her head.

For her part, no matter where she showed Cleon, there was nothing that was too embarrassing.

＂Hey, over there! Cleon! If something like that happens, I’ll close my eyes!”

“No… It’s okay… Don’t worry about it.”

Well, let’s ask Lila to erase that part of her memory…

Thinking like that, while there was an awkward silence between the three, the two people who had disappeared behind the tent to rest came back.

＂Sorry, didn’t you wait?’

Lila returned with her face still red, and Kuon with a somewhat annoyed expression.

What on earth happens behind the tent?

“Oh, was it okay? Mr. Kuon’s bra. “

＂Sasha!?＂

When Sasha asked with her innocent face, Kuon let out her scream in surprise.

And, Lila would blush even more.

＂Hey, over there. Sasha? What is that…”

When Amelia is embarrassed and asks Sasha, Sasha calmly answers Amelia’s question.

“Ah. Ms. Kuon’s bra hooks often come undone… Ms. Kuon very casually fixes them when no one is looking, but sometimes when the hook gets broken, she just leaves it like that…”

Ah, is that so? Since Lila isn’t as big as Kuon, she’s not used to reattaching the hook, so she was holding on to what was falling…

Tadadat! And Kuon runs over and covers Sasha’s mouth.

“Sasha? There’s no need to say everything like that, right? Got it?!”

＂Bbbbw… Bbbbwb…＂

“For a moment! Kuon! Not only did you cover her mouth, you covered her nose as well! Sasha is having trouble breathing!”

If the group was making a fuss on the side of the road like that, they couldn’t help but attract the attention of passing fairies.

Amelia blushes as the fairies pass by and giggle.

＂Hey, over there. Everyone has people’s eyes on them, so it’s okay to make too much noise…”

“Ha… I’m worried whether we’ll be able to reach the castle safely like this…”

When Cleon sighed, Amelia nodded her head in agreement.

After walking for another 30 minutes, we finally arrived at a huge tent called the Fairy King’s Castle.

As it looked from a distance, it was truly gorgeous and huge, and when seen up close, it was truly the size of a castle.

However, the scene seen inside was no different from the outside, it was a huge circus itself.

In the center of the circular auditorium, circus ropes, flaming rings for animals to pass through, and clowns seemed to be preparing for a performance.

＂… This is a castle? No matter how you look at it, it’s just a huge circus tent.”

After Lila made such a cold tackle without realizing it, the other party members also nodded to her.

“… How can I find a king or noble here?”

The other circus members are working hard at their jobs, and since the number is well over 100, Cleon is wondering if he should investigate again-

“Ah! For a moment! We’re still preparing for the performance right now, so you can’t just come in!”

There was a fairy who stopped the group from entering the tent.

However, unlike the other fairies I had seen so far, there was a small human being the size of a human hand, with wings like a butterfly, and wearing a suit sized to fit his body.

“Wow! It’s a fairy!”

Sasha raises her voice like that without realizing it.

＂You saw it on your way here…＂

And Lila tackled him once again.

＂Huh? Guests. “Maybe a human?”

“That’s right. I came in about an hour ago through Fairy Circle.”

When Cleon answers the fairy’s question, the little fairy nods as if she understands.

“Wha-hey, was that something like that? So then you didn’t come to see the circus, but you came to look for a noble or a king to find a way back?”

‘Are you just calling me ‘King’… Are you close to the Fairy King?’

Cleon nodded his head while thinking so, and the fairy twirled in the air as if she knew, then spun around once, placed her hand on her chest, and bowed politely.

＂Welcome! To the city of fairy scents, ‘Gringpus’! I am the guide of this great circus, ‘Pas’. We usually sell tickets here, but when humans come looking for nobles or kings, we are in charge of guiding them.”

“Are they really in this tent?”

When Cleon asks a question, Paz flies in front of them and directs their gaze.

It’s as if they were asking us to take a look inside the tent.

“Of course. To be exact… They are the main characters of this circus, but right now they are taking a break for the next performance. Follow me! I’ll guide you to where they are.”

＂Ah… Please. ＂

Cleon nodded at Paz’s words, and Paz took the lead and moved forward, flying in accordance with the speed of the group’s steps.

The group, who were a little curious about where they were heading, were able to see that if they went through the central circular performance hall from the entrance, there was an exit that could go beyond the tent.

‘Indeed. Is it a waiting room over there preparing for a performance?

＂The guidance is kinder than I expected. Fairies here.”

Lila whispers in the ear of Cleon, who was walking while thinking.

Cleon also nodded his head, thinking he agreed.

Well, I encountered a few problems on the way here, so I guess I can’t do it if the fairies aren’t so friendly…

It must have been quite difficult.

However, because the tent was large, it was quite a distance to go from the entrance to the exit.

The fairies passing by greeted us warmly, but some of the demons trapped in cages waiting for the performance to begin were growling and looking in this direction.

However, the only demons I could see inside were ones I had never seen before.

A pig making a house out of straw inside a cage, a cat wearing strange shoes, a wolf dressed as an old woman, a giant grasshopper playing the violin…

＂Gyauugh…＂

And, Vivre makes a voice while looking at them.

＂It’s not a hassle to translate anymore.＂

＂Okay…＂

Cleon nodded his head as if he understood what Lila said.

“The demonic beasts here… Were they all captured from the human world?”

“Huh? No, no no The demon beasts here are all from Fairy Village. Anyway, wouldn’t it be so pitiful to capture it from the human world and use it as a spectacle? “I was taken to a place that wasn’t even my hometown.”

Cleon nodded at Paz’s words as if he understood why he could not see them in the human world.

“The Demonic Beasts’ performance is the most popular performance in our circus. If you want to see it before you go back, I’ll prepare a ticket for you.”

“Oh, no… We have separate work to do.”

I’m sorry, but I didn’t have time for that.

You have to find Nagi, you have to return your body to its original state, Vuvre, and even the water fairy.

“Okay? Well, then there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Paz nodded and understood Cleon’s words as if he didn’t want to ask too much.

So, after walking for a while, we were getting closer to the exit beyond the tent.

Cleon’s gaze shifted to a single magical beast seen from the corner of his eye.

There, I saw a sleeping demon trapped in a cage that was smaller than the other demon beasts.

That thing there is a white fox. It seemed to be a baby fox, but although its body was small, it was a beautiful fox whose entire body was white, with only the tip of its tail and the area around its eyes covered in slightly red fur.

When Cleon unconsciously stops and looks at the sleeping girl curled up without paying attention to the surrounding commotion, the group and Pas look at Cleon.

“What’s wrong, Cleon?”

“Oh, no… It’s nothing.”

Cleon was just worried because the atmosphere was a little different from the other demon beasts, but there was no particular reason to do so.

That’s why she suddenly came to her senses after hearing the group’s words and continued to move.

Finally, you pass through the exit of the huge tent.

Then, a feeling as if they had passed through a magic dimension door enveloped the entire group, and the scene before their eyes became completely different from the one just before.

＂This, this…＂

Suddenly, I felt like I had moved inside the tent into a magnificent castle somewhere.

Gorgeous carpets, and colorful torches lighting up the surroundings.

The decorated gold and silver treasures were so luxurious that no matter how wealthy you were, you wouldn’t be able to get them.

“This is the real fairy king’s castle. “

“Haha. Does it look like that? Both are last names, though. This is ‘old castle’. The one we passed through earlier is called ‘New Fairy Castle’.”

Paz said that and tried to move forward further.

But when you think about it, a puddle of water suddenly appeared on the carpet in front of the group.

Inside, something in the shape of a human slowly rose up, and the puddle itself changed into the shape of a human.

She was an elegant beauty, wearing a black-and-white maid’s uniform and looking quietly at us with a headband on top of her head.

Although she was not that tall, her hair was as clear as water, with water droplets falling gently from the ends.

Literally, the appearance of a fairy who is like the ‘incarnation of water’.

‘It is a water fairy.’

The government there was able to find out her identity.

＂Pas. You have brought guests.”

“That’s right, Ninianne. Because these humans, His Majesty the Fairy King and the nobles, seem to have business to attend to. I guided you this far.”

When her clear, yet slightly low voice rang out, just like her appearance, Paz nodded and answered.

Seeing as she is called ‘Nini Anne’, does she have a higher rank than Pas even though she is always wearing uniform?

＂Then, I will take charge from here on out. Pas, you go back to the entrance of the tent.”

“Yes, yes. I was already thinking of doing that. Then humans! Enough!”

At Ninianne’s command, Paz flew back to the tent, and even when he looked back, he could no longer be seen.

“… Welcome. To the castle of His Majesty the Fairy King.”

And, Ninianne’s voice is heard again.

She looks at her companions without revealing her emotions.

“His Majesty the Fairy King welcomes all humans who visit his castle.”

She seemed somewhat like a machine as she gave predetermined instructions to her group.
