44. You Just Need Some Training

Lin Ke’s “invitation” this time was a “feast at Hongmen,” orchestrated under the guidance of the true head of her family—the Blood Fairy, Yaser Rose. However, the outcome of this “candlelit dinner” didn’t require Ke Fei Er and Ni Lu to worry; after slightly “scaring” this somewhat arrogant fairy Rose, I managed to have my meal without a hitch, and then…

Brought Rose back to Ke Fei Er and Ni Lu.

There was no helping it; after all, this bear-like midget’s true identity had already become clear, right? I had to give the two real big shots an explanation.

After returning to my room, Lin Ke found an excuse to slip away, saying she needed to “calm down.” At this moment, while I was safely meeting with Ke Fei Er and Ni Lu alongside Rose, I explained to the following Rose under the visibly relieved expressions of the two big shots.

“What I promised you just now is a done deal; I’m very sincere on my end as well.”

I had briefly explained Rose’s identity as a fairy, her purpose this time, and my subsequent handling methods to the two women. Even if it was an “exchange,” we couldn’t keep things hidden.

“You can call me a pretty boy all you want, but you better listen carefully to their identities!”

As the cousin of the Queen of the Great Yīng Empire, Ke Fei’er’s power is probably something I don’t need to explain; Rose should “understand what needs to be understood.” And Nilu, well, she is the queen of those fairies from Rodma, which makes her the natural enemy of an ordinary fairy like Rose! Then, heh heh… although it’s a bit embarrassing to say, those two really do listen to me, this “pretty boy.”

We initially kept our identities from Rose to “stay low-key” and avoid danger. Whether Rose is arrogant or confrontational, I could treat it as “ignorance is bliss.” But now that I’ve clearly revealed our identities to her, if this bear-like midget continues to act all high and mighty, she’s going to face some consequences. Especially now that she wanted “my blood” but her plan has failed, Ke Fei’er and Nilu won’t be swayed by her cuteness anymore.

“Our identities are pretty much these.”

After saying that, I looked at Rose.

However, this midget fairy really seems to have stayed in the “beginner village” for too long, as she showed no interest in Ke Fei’er and Nilu’s identities at all.

“Royalty, then a queen… isn’t that just nobility? I was one too~”

Rose crossed her arms nonchalantly, “As for whatever fairy master or whatever, I’ve never even heard of it. I’m just here to negotiate terms with you, so don’t try to scare me with that stuff~”

Not long ago, she was “scared” by me, and now her attitude has become arrogant again. However, her arrogance isn’t without reason, as the script clearly tells me: Rose actually had the capital to be this arrogant in the past.

[The former master of the Blood Fairy was a noble white-haired elf. After the white-haired elf lineage disappeared, she established herself as a queen in the Meri United Kingdom, relying on fairy powers to sustain her magical energy.]

The content in the script is astonishing: this fairy is actually related to the era of the white-haired elves!? Although I had my suspicions upon seeing Rose’s fairy form and the “white hair and long ears” trait, I never expected it to be true.

It seems that this fairy before me is not just a little midget; she might also need a tag of “old hag” added on.

With the content and hidden truths in the script, I didn’t have time to think too much. Given Rose’s current display of identity and her “I may be weak, but my demeanor must be noble” arrogance, I doubt she would admit it honestly. The only way to deal with this troublesome fairy is to stop maintaining any “low profile” and instead let her witness the absolute power gap firsthand, leaving her “dumbfounded.”

“Mr. Oujili De, this fairy…”

“Don’t ask anything; how was I supposed to know that the fairy Ke Fei’er found in the Meri United Kingdom would turn out like this?”

I sighed; this fairy is even more troublesome than that idiot Ikusis!

“There’s no helping it, Nilu.”

Glancing at Rose, who seemed quite proud of her identity, Nilu understood my thoughts.

“Yes.”

In the next moment, Nilu nodded and, rather helplessly, murmured, “Come out, fairies, you handle this fairy business.”

In an instant, colorful lights flew out from Nilu, and even Ke Fei’er’s ice fairy, Alsas, joined in the fun. As these colorful, uniquely skilled fairies appeared before Rose in their fairy forms, the smug expression she had just moments ago froze in place.

This is the result of our more self-disciplined fairies not bringing their true forms along. If those more dangerous fairies showed up here, that little brat Rose would probably be scared stiff, right?

“You… you guys…”

She’s probably never seen so many fairies gathered together to serve a single master in her life; Rose was so frightened that her voice was stuttering. But being arrogant comes with a price, and these fairies are not as easy to talk to as I am.

Before long, she was surrounded by fairies from all sides, up and down, left and right, front and back, much like a cocky elementary school student being cornered by a group of older students demanding money.

“Hey? Are you that so-called ‘Blood Fairy’ we’ve never even heard of?”

“You’re pretty arrogant, but you don’t seem that strong, huh~”

“Where’s your ability? Show us your fairy powers and make the big fire laugh~ By the way, your ability isn’t just pretending to be impressive, is it?”

The fairies tugged at Rose’s hair and poked her body; this bear-like midget didn’t dare act tough anymore, her voice turning into a weak whimper.

“I… my ability is to replenish my own magic power, and… and to create servants…”

“Doesn’t sound that great~ You dare to spout nonsense in front of our master with just that ability? You’re quite brave~”

“You… you guys… don’t go too far!”

Rose’s voice trembled with a hint of tears, completely at a loss from being bullied. The fairies were just trying to scare her a bit, to let her know our strength, and that was enough; I didn’t want to be the bad guy.

However, just as I was about to call off the fairies and tell them to stop picking on Rose, the little midget shouted out with a quivering voice, leaving me stunned!

“I… I’m not afraid! I’m a fairy who has served the White-Haired Elf! My bloodline is noble! If it weren’t for the fact that my master is gone, I wouldn’t be afraid of you ragtag bunch!”

Earlier, Rose had mentioned her connection to the “White-Haired Elf,” and in this moment, her words deepened the narrative significantly!

【The Blood Fairy knows about the White-Haired Elf’s bloodline!】

The “death script” brought to me by the White-Haired Elf has always been what I wanted to investigate and resolve; it’s also the “main storyline” that Kephiel and Nilu are pursuing. The recent revelation clearly indicates that this fairy knows quite a bit!

The main storyline is right here, embodied in this fairy!

Before I could even think about what to do, Nilu had already taken action!

As she approached, all the fairies retreated from around Rose. However, before Rose could even breathe a sigh of relief and switch back to her noble and arrogant tone, Nilu was already in front of her, bending down and squinting slightly.

“Rose, you seem to… know a lot.”

“Hmph~ Of course! My identity as a fairy is quite noble!”

With that proud demeanor, you really do embody the idea of “always maintaining nobility,” don’t you?

Well, now I can’t even help you out of this one; you’re on your own now~

“So why don’t you hurry up and let your ragtag fairies…”

“Since my identity is noble, I must surely know about the ‘White-Haired Fairy,’ right?”

Before Rose could finish her sentence, Nilu was already in motion.

“Ignis, tie her up and take her away. ‘Your Majesty,’ this is a rare opportunity; please allow me to ‘interrogate’ and ‘train’ this ‘wild fairy’ who doesn’t understand her place~ Please come to my room later to see the results~”
