I saw a dream.
In that world, everything was saved.
No fighting between humans, beastkins and demons.
In every country, everyone laughed and lived in joy without worrying while supporting one another every day.
One day, I was summoned into this world due to an accident during one of Leticia’s magic experiments.
So, in order to return to my original world, I decided to go on a journey with Leticia.
Naturally, at first, we were always at each other’s throats, quarreling, cursing at each other and getting along.
And naturally fell in love.
No hero, no demon lord.
No one needed to be sacrificed. Or have to be someone else’s sacrifice.
It was undoubtedly a kind world to me.
The moment I woke up, the lingering sensation like an aftertaste……, was very unpleasant.
It was too kind, too indulgent*, at this point, I couldn’t even accept it as one of my fantasy daydreams. (TLN: sweet, lukewarm, rainbows and sunshine)
But, I am sure it is fine that way. It has to be that way.
I will not change, not until I have completed my revenge.
I can’t have anyone get in my way afterall.
Because I am going to advance forward, pushing through this boiling muddy tar.
「……No particular changes today too, huh」
Going through the information I received from Chuusuke, I sighed alone in the inn.
The situation at the battlefront with the demons.
The battle continues, and it seems that the 『Explosive Flame Demonkin, Ardirius』 is also rampaging all over.
「Now that the information of Ardirius rampaging about is out, Leticia should be heading towards that direction……, naturally, Lilia too will leave this town」
After confirming those rumors spreading within the dungeon, I came out in this way.
As soon as I returned to this world, I encountered Leticia.
If I am to deal with Lilia, I need to pull Leticia apart from Lilia.
So, the moment I got the information that Leon was coming to this town to replenish supplies and forces, I decided to target Leon first. To that end, I set the bottom-line of the training in the dungeon to when the information concerning Ardirius spreads around town.
If the rumor of Ardirius’s whereabouts were to be leaked, Leticia would follow it and leave this town.
I can’t directly spy on Leticia who is practically a cheat on anything involving magic powers, but she should already be out of town by the time the rumors spread.
I can fully prepare for Leon.
(That being said, but since I also have to take care of Lilia now that Leticia is busy with Ardirius, I don’t have much leeway……)
The preparations are proceeding smoothly.
With the help of Surakichi, the stage is being put together nicely.
Just a little bit until everything is set.
「……For the final thrust, it’s got to be this fellow」
Fuu, as the Spirit Sword emerges and materialized, I held it on my palm.
What I had in my hand was the 【Induction Blade of Genus Metamorphose】.
The small Spirit Sword had thick blades like a somewhat large knife on both sides of the handle.
However, there was no metallic shine on the blade, and it had a translucent material texture, like animal claws.
The inside of the blade is hollow.
And, in one side of the blade, something with a mysterious color than cannot be distinguished as a particular color is packed within. Also similarly, the handle on that side and the ornamental part of the blade changes its shade every few seconds.
It was in contrast to the opposite monochrome shade of the empty blade.
Once again confirming the decency of the finishing touches by the Spirit Sword, I undo the composition and have it returned within me.
I threw my body and collapsed into my bed on my back.
「if you’re dead-set that fairies are important, then so be it」
【Induction Blade of Genus Metamorphose】 is a blade that is not suited for battle.
Even if the blade is not as bad as a wooden sword, it lacks sharpness, and because of its small size it cannot be used as a blunt weapon.
Handling will be a problem if it is to be used as a concealed weapon.
Also, the ability that this Spirit Sword possesses doesn’t yield immediate effect, nor is it one whose impact would appear during combat.
This Spirit Sword possesses only one ability.
It transforms the opponent’s race* to another. However, it would take half a month. (TLN: Species/ kind/ genus)
Even if it is activated during battle, it won’t take effect immediately.
Moreover, it only the race changes. It cannot erase the skills that have been carved into the soul.
「In that case, you too join in so I can erase you」
Regarding the promotion to S-rank conversation in the guild.
Leon will definitely show up there. He will show up to come test my strength.
By doing that, I would have met the requirement to activate this Spirit Sword.
This is because to activate the 【Induction Blade of Genus Metamorphose】, the opponent’s magic power is necessary.
「Together with the fairies which you are so keen on protecting」
Leon, I will transform your race to that of the fairies.
And then, after you have transformed into a fairy…….
「Kuhaa, kuhahaha, kuhahahahahahahaha!!」
Ah, I can’t wait.
That moment your face distorts in agony.
No matter what happens, I already decided to kill you, and that is already set in stone, but I just can’t help but wonder what you will choose at the end so much that I can’t help it.
「Hahahaha, hahaha, …………Fuuuuuuuuuu」
Because that day is fast approaching to the T-.
☆
We were flying through the bright forest like usual.
The shining sunlight filtering through the trees is very pleasant, and we fairies are on our daily routine stroll.
「Oh oh? But didn’t you take a nap throughout the whole of yesterday?」
「Nah, yesterday, there was a huge binge eating contest. I ate a lot of meat」
「No no, you mean you were made to eat a lot of meat right? In the end your stomach was so bloated it was so hilarious」
「The nap contest was yesterday’s, day before yesterday’s day before yesterday’s, yesterday」
「That’s right, afterall, didn’t we all agree that the skin of a fluffy dog is better than that of a napping human. The skin of the human was no good at all」
「「「That’s right, the human was no good」」」
Thinking in that manner, so the stroll isn’t a daily routine, then starting tomorrow, strolling is the daily routine.
At such a time, I heard a loud clattering noise.
A sound that doesn’t originate from the forest, a sound that monsters don’t make, a sound that is made when a new toy waltz in.
「Here comes a new toy!」「Here comes a new toy!」「Here comes a new toy!」
Between all of us that are present there, three of us including me raised our hands.
「Let’s have a nap?」「Let’s play tag?」「No, it’s hide and seek?」「Let’s have lunch?」
It seems the rest were not interested, and instead were focusing their attention on something else.
Just like with the bunch of hum ans from a while back, because we picked them in large quantities, it seems they have gotten fairly bored.
It seems I have also gotten bored? Seems so seems so, Hmm, as expected humans will make for an interesting toy! I mean, they are such big fools afterall!!
Been met with a surprise attack, and after being manipulated to do a lot of things and then return to sanity, I can slurp some very nice emotions.
「Let’s go let’s go!」「Should we go with just us?」「Get them get them」
One, two go-! Mar~ch!
Three-man* cell including me, we fly in the air weaving through the trees that grew up absorbing plenty of magic power. Although it was unnecessary, I also tried to imitate fluttering my wings. (Three-fairy xD)
「Found them!」「Found them!」「Found them!」
Looking down from on top if the trees, we saw the human walking with great difficulty through our forest.
A toy that is wearing a tattered cloak, carrying a big bag.
For some time now, toys like this have wandered into our forest. They come to pick medicinal plants that have absorbed plenty of magic power while growing.
Huh? But something seems odd? It seems different from the usual?
『My cute little boys. You may do whatever you want however you please. Afterall we are protecting* this world. Where Sacred Shining Trees grow, is our paradise. Our flower garden. Play however you like, to your heart’s content』
Suddenly, I remembered the words that the Lady Queen said.
Because I am a little more outstanding than the rest, I often have conversations with the Lady Queen.
During musical performances that I demonstrate using a musical instrument created from living humans, she pats my head while saying 『You have an outstanding taste』, I was able to get a tiny bit of the Lady Queen’ Blessing.
Since then, I have been devotedly playing with humans. So today, as usual, I have come to play with the human, but.
I wonder why, I wonder why, I wonder why?
I am getting a strange vibe. Even though I want to play, I don’t feel like playing, I wonder why?
