Finley was rarely embarrassed, and now, he was so ashamed that he was about to dig deep three meters into the ground just to hide from these people, especially Bello, who knew that he had been lying to Ainsley about being a fairy.
Finley could only smile sheepishly and nodded at the two adults in front of him.
"Hi, I'm sorry to disturb you guys. I also need to go to the headquarters for some issues, so I also want to gather my family's forces at Pandora Island."
"Maybe my father will be able to explain to all of you about his business with the world union."
But for now, Finley didn't want to tell anyone the reason why he also had to go to Pandora Island and go to the world union's headquarters with the group.
Elliana and Bello were not that interested in other people's secrets anyway, so they stopped asking and just focused on their own business.
It was actually Ainsley who took this chance to talk to Finley because there would still be several more minutes until they arrived at the transit island to go to Pandora Island.
Maybe because Ainsley felt that they would have no time to discuss this trivial thing after they all went to the headquarters, so the baby tried to discuss the issue right now on the boat.
The baby silently looked at the boy, who was already half a head taller than her and looked more mature than before despite being only ten years old at most.
The boy didn't look like a child anymore, and somehow, he had already shown signs of maturity between a child and a teenager.
Ainsley was silent for a few seconds before she spoke to the boy in a soft voice full of questioning intent.
"Why did you lie to me about being a fairy?"
Ainsley never addressed this issue back on the island, and she might not even care about the lie or might even forgot about the lie and only recall the strange things after the demons were all teleported back.
Still, Ainsley felt that it was so mean to lie to a child full of fantasy like this.
Ainsley admitted that when she had just transmigrated to this world, she still knew too little, which was why it was easy for the boy to fool her around.
But after seeing a real fairy with her own eyes, Ainsley didn't care much about the lie being exposed, and she was actually not that disappointed.
Anyway, many children were naughty, and it was normal to fool around with friends, right?
Maybe Finley wanted to be close to her back then, so he used such a method to become her friend.
Finley, who was assumed to be a real child, would cry tears and blood if he knew about it.
Fortunately, Finley didn't know, but because he didn't know, he thought that Ainsley was disappointed with him.
Even if he knew that Ainsley's real soul might not be a child, and he himself was also an adult in the past life, Finley still felt extremely guilty for the lie he made up casually back then.
He did think of having fun teasing Ainsley, but he didn't have any malicious intent.
If anything, it was so cute to see Ainsley adoring himself when he was a 'fairy', which was why he even made up several other lies and camouflage so as not to be exposed.
Now that the lie was exposed somehow, Finley could only sigh.
To be honest, even if Finley met Ainsley in his 'fairy' appearance as a student of Elton Academy, it was still possible to fool around by saying that he studied in this academy as a royal fairy, which was not a bad excuse.
However, maybe Ainsley already realized something was wrong or perhaps after she became a hell demon, she was more sensitive to the breath of various races.
Finley smelled like a human being, which was why Ainsley had already begun to doubt his identity as a 'fairy'.
Long short story, Ainsley had discovered the lie, and now, Finley didn't bother to quibble and just lowered his head while speaking in a voice full of apologies.
"I'm sorry...I know I'm wrong. I...I lied to you back then just to tease you, but I didn't expect the lie to get bigger and bigger. I don't want you to discover the lie and become disappointed in me, so I use various means to cover up the lie..."
Finley thought that as a child, anyone would be disappointed if they knew their fantasy race friend was actually just a human being, but Ainsley should not be a child inside, so now, Finley was a bit more courageous to admit his lie.
Of course, he knew that Ainsley would still be disappointed in him, and there was a chance that she would not want to be his friend anymore, but Finley was ready to accept all consequences.
Anyway, they were going to face off against a strong enemy, so whether they could still stay alive as friends was also questionable.
Ainsley listened to Finley's apology and explanation with a slight smile on her face, and to her surprise, she didn't feel that made towards the little boy who dared to fool her.
Maybe it was because she thought Finley was a real child, so it was more acceptable to fool around like that.
Well, if the lie was exposed before the tragedy with the abyss demons, Ainsley felt that she would be angrier than now.
But now that they had more important things to consider than just that silly lie, Ainsley generously forgave the fake little fairy.
