"...I understand. I'll let you go this time...but don't do it again."

Klar's gaze finally softened and she said.

"No matter what your purpose is in deciding to save people at that time, you must at least pay attention to your own safety. Saving others is something that only the strong can do, and the weak don't even have the ability to protect themselves... Do you understand?"

The dragon fairy looked dimly at the innocent boy and said.

"So... am I considered a strong person?"

The boy asked, looking at the dragon fairy.

"No, you are not strong yet. If you were strong, you would be able to wipe out those Moss even without my help."

"Then I obviously also..."

The boy wanted to refute, but he noticed Klar's suddenly serious look, so he swallowed the second half of his sentence.

"Okay, you go back first."

The dragon fairy glanced at the boy and said.

"Aren't Melusin and Clare going back?"

"...No, I still have something to say to Klar."

"Is that so? Then I'll leave first... Please don't quarrel."

The boy always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right, and couldn't help but say something before leaving.

The boy jumped down the wall by the steps, and the atmosphere between Kral and the Dragon Fairy grew cold.

"Aurora, she just asked you to take care of him, right? Why did you bring him out here?"

The Dragon Fairy's tone suddenly turned cold.

"So-called care is not simply raising him. Not to mention that the idiot is not a human, but a fairy. Teaching him the ability to survive is also what I should do."

Klar didn't want to argue with her, and after all, this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been brought out.

"But in the end, this is indeed my responsibility, and I will pay attention to it... As for you, this is the first time I've seen you care so much about someone other than Lady Aurora."

"It's just the so-called sympathy. Don't think too much about it. Although he is a child who is hard not to like, he is nothing compared to Aurora."

"...That's it."

Klar didn't even notice that there was something strange in his tone that he couldn't even hear.

Pseudo-Act 8 ~ Frustration

The tenth day in Salisbury ended in a turmoil.

Neither Klar nor Melusin came to see him in the afternoon or evening.

However, he was also very clear that if they came to him at this time, it would most likely be to settle accounts.

The boy continued reading until Salisbury outside the window also fell asleep as the night deepened.

"Well……"

When the boy opened his eyes, it was already the next day. The bright sunshine shone into the room through the sunny windows. When the boy propped himself up, he could see the gorgeous dim sky outside the window.

Then I got up and got dressed as usual.

Although he possesses the same outstanding and powerful magic as fairies, the boy finds that he seems to be more similar to humans.

Getting used to things and behaviors that goblins might not care about.

He simply combed his long black hair, tied it into a neat ponytail and threw it behind him.

And then today's life begins.

Although Klar and Melusin haven't come to see him yet, they must be very busy and won't focus on him all day long, so it depends on him now.

I worked hard to learn the knowledge in the book, hoping that after I learned it, I could help Meilushin...

The boy thought so, well, but if that's the case, Klar's share cannot be left out. Klar has always been taking care of himself. Although she always looks unforgiving with words, she is really a good fairy.

"Wow..."

The book was opened with a delicate sound. The book in his hand was a detailed explanation of horticultural plants. However, for the fairies, growing plants was not difficult. Even transplanting them could be done with magic power just by moving their fingers. Therefore, such books were at most considered interesting by the fairies and were preserved.

It just so happened that he was not a goblin like ordinary goblins, and the methods and approaches in the book also made him feel novel. Just as he turned the last two pages of the book, two broken branches fell on the table.

"Ok?"

The young man was slightly stunned. Looking at the broken branches covered with thorns, he suddenly had the idea of ​​planting them.

He asked for two potted plants and shoveled some soil from the garden. Then the boy planted the two broken branches in the soil, watered them, and finally dripped a little of his own blood on them.

Because the book says that fairies, because of their abundant magic power, can often play a role similar to that of nutrient solution.

Then he placed the two pots of broken branches on the windowsill and let them bathe in the sun.

"Dong dong."

Just then, there was a familiar knock on the door.

"Is that Meilushin? Please come in."

As the young man's words rang out, the dragon fairy pushed the door open and walked in.

"How do you know it was me?"

The dragon fairy with white hair and golden eyes couldn't help but ask.

"Because Melusin and Klar's knocks and footsteps are different, it's hard to tell them apart."

The boy turned around and said innocently.

"I see...what are you doing? Planting flowers?"

"Well, it seems to be hidden in this book. I'll try to see if I can grow anything."

The boy had a gentle smile on his face: "If what I grow is flowers, I will give them to you."

In response, the Dragon Fairy smiled helplessly: "Really, this kind of surprise should only be told when you decide to give it to me, right?"

"Um...is that so?"

The young boy, who had not known much about the ways of the world, was thinking about it.

"Of course. Although it's a good thing to stay innocent like this, if you want to protect yourself and others, you can't stay innocent like this."

The Dragon Fairy said this half jokingly, half seriously.

"Um……"

The boy didn't understand what the Dragon Fairy meant, and just nodded slightly.

"But if you want to continue learning, I do have something to teach you. Do you want to learn?"

"Yes, as long as Meilushin is willing to teach me."

"Haha... then let's get started."

…………

“Ah, it’s still so complicated.”

The young man, feeling dizzy, couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that you are not particularly suitable for this. It doesn't matter. Just remember a little bit and it will be enough. Next time, I will teach you in a different way."

"Um……"

The tired boy responded.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"Yeah...see you tomorrow."

"Hmm...By the way, why didn't Klar come today?"

At dusk, the young man whispered softly.

…………

"……cooking?"

The boy who got up early rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at another new book he had opened.

"Cooking food? It sounds good. Although eating is a very optional activity for fairies."

"I wonder if Meilushin will like it..."

The boy thought about it and decided that he should give it a try.

"What? Borrow the kitchen?"

The guards of the cathedral looked at the young man in front of them strangely. Ever since he moved into the cathedral, he had basically been busy. He would borrow some strange things from them from time to time. Two days ago, he even asked them for a pair of flower pots.

"Um... is this difficult to do?"

"No, even the kitchen in the cathedral is not often used. The only kitchen that can be used is the one that supplies human soldiers like me. If I want to borrow more, I need to ask Lord Kral."

"Klar?"

The boy was stunned. He remembered that Klar had told him that she was very busy and would probably ignore his request which was completely out of her control. She also told him to stay in the room honestly, not to run around, and not to cause trouble for her.

"Huh, I knew you couldn't take a break."

A familiar pleasant voice sounded in his ears. The boy looked subconsciously, but did not see the figure of the cherry-winged fairy.

"Klar?"

"Don't shout. I'm not by your side now. This is one of the Wind Clan's talents, Wind Communication... I won't waste any more time. Just use whatever you want. The soldiers won't make things difficult for you."

Klar's voice came with a breeze, and as the wind died down, her voice became weaker and weaker.

"Wait, is Klar busy? Why yesterday…"

The boy wanted to ask some other questions, but it was obvious that Klar could no longer hear him.

"...I see. Since Lord Kral has given his approval, please follow me."

The guards led him out of the main corridor of the cathedral. Under the dome made of gorgeous glass, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, well, you are really a happy person."

"me?"

"Of course. Many fairies have wanted to establish a relationship with Lord Klar but were rejected and warned. As far as I can remember, you are the first person to get so close to Lord Klar!"

The guard also opened up his chatterbox, and not only did he control his volume the whole time, he kept talking.

"Yeah?"

The boy was lost in thought, and murmured subconsciously.

"Mrs. Klar, she is indeed a very good fairy."

"Whether it's treating fairies or humans, Lord Klar is always so serious. He manages us humans strictly, but at the same time gives us the greatest convenience possible... Ahem, although all this is based on the freedom that Lady Aurora has granted us, how can a small person like us ever see Lady Aurora..."

The human guards' voices were extremely low, and even in this empty corridor, only the young man accompanying them could barely hear them.

"So it's been rumored recently... that Master Kral has raised a fairy that looks like a human in the cathedral... and wants her to be his husband."

"Eh? Then the fairy in the rumor should be——"

The boy's expression became a little strange. How could the relationship between him and Klar be spread like this?

"Huh? Why do you look so weird? I thought you had heard about this rumor a long time ago... Don't tell anyone else I said it."

But I don’t even know your name...

The young man complained silently in his heart and couldn't help but said: "This rumor is too outrageous...Klar and I are obviously just friends...that's all."

"...?"

Well, even he himself doesn’t have much confidence.

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. If I really meant that... then it should be... Meilushin..."
