“Hoohoohoo.”
As the Fairy Queen laughs, laughter follows her from all over the place.
Above the tree that has bloomed black leaves.
Above the utterly black flowers that do not allow even a single ray of light.
Under the earth that emits a sticky black color through the cracked gaps.
In the fierce wind that brushes past our skin and tries to leave a scar.

Each laughter flows out and fills the Queen’s dream.
“You are as rude as ever.”
I hold the shield shining with the divine power of the Lord and stiffen my body. All my senses tell me that the current situation has reached its worst.
I shout that I must escape from here immediately in order to survive.
I think so too. I doubt that there is a way to win against the Fairy Queen who is having a lucid dream.
There is no way to escape, so I cannot escape even if I want to.
“That’s amazing. How can you be so noisy even in the face of death? Are you still lacking in a sense of crisis? Should I push you a little further?”
With each step, I spread divinity across the land, blocking the tricks of the earth elves who were trying to scatter what we had prepared.
Then, I signaled to Faby, and she immediately created a sacred realm.
What is being created here now is not a simple sacred realm.
This is a place created by me, who received the power of the great god, and Faby, a priest who is one of the few in this continent when it comes to understanding divine magic.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this place, which has supplemented its meaning and achievements through all kinds of sacred objects, has reached the age of myth.
My thoughts seem to be right, as the darkness retreats from the light that started from us, and the laughter of the elves gradually fades away.
In the meantime, my colleagues who had been slightly distant joined me behind me.
“Even with such words and actions, are you still loved by the god?”
The Fairy Queen standing at the edge of the light put her hand on the sacred realm, and her skin burned and spread an unpleasant smell around her.
“Your inner self is truly noble.”
“Lucy.”
Joy’s voice is heard beyond the Fairy Queen, who is smiling as if she enjoys the pain and looking at the sight of her own flesh burning.
“Don’t turn your head and listen. I won’t be visible to the Fairy Queen right now.”
While I was wondering what nonsense she was talking about, I felt Joy’s presence was more faint than usual.
It was almost impossible to sense unless I was conscious of it. If Joy hadn’t spoken to me first, I wouldn’t have noticed her.
Joy never learned the art of stealth from Caria, so this must be an application of the power Erginus taught her.
“What the Queen is using now is the power of darkness. If the master of darkness descends here, she won’t be able to do anything.”
I agree with Joy. The queen revealed her true colors the moment I took out the seal.
Even for her who pretends to be relaxed, the release of the evil spirit's seal was uncomfortable.
"Please draw the queen's attention for a moment. I will adjust it so that the magic circle can take effect no matter where the seal is released."
Joy's tone, which was both determined and anxious, told me that the adjustment was hers alone.
Knowing Joy's foolishness better than anyone else, I had a feeling that a major problem would arise somewhere, but I decided to trust Joy and leave it to her.
Joy is trying her best right now. So you have to trust her. Even if something goes wrong, I can just compensate for it.
"Noble?♡ Me?♡ Puhahaha♡ How rotten of a woman are you to call a brat like me noble?♡ How shabby is the comparison group♡"
"If not, then why would the Lord protect you?" “No?♡ Look♡ A different beauty from the chicken coop lady with her fat, wrinkles, milk, and sagging ♡ Isn’t it natural for a pedophile, Gaeheojeopjusin, to like me?♡”
“Is that so?”
Despite my accusations, the Fairy Queen didn’t show much of a shake-up.
“It seems that you’ve changed a lot since I last saw you.”
Her eyes turned slightly fierce, but that’s all. Her madness, tinged with darkness, didn’t waver.
Ah. This really annoys me. The gap in class is so high that I can’t even identify weaknesses, and my sense of crisis and aesthetics have long since become meaningless because I’m screaming at the sights around me.
Is it your problem that provocations don’t work?
No, but my provocations worked well for other evil spirits.
What’s the problem? I don’t know where the problem is, so it’s really embarrassing!
‘Grandpa! Weakness! Hurry up!’
<...I’m sorry. I have hardly ever had a conversation with that person.>
‘Incompetent!’
Tsk. If even Grandpa Emong, who is a great warrior, is useless, then I guess I have no choice but to find out by going against him.
As I was thinking about what a knight of Aln would do with his shield raised, Arthur stepped forward and greeted me neatly.
“Excuse me for a moment, Queen of the Fairies. I.”
“You don’t have to tell me your name. It’s not worth remembering for you.”
“...I see. I understand. Then let’s get straight to the point. You want to play with us?”
“Why do you think so?”
“Of course, this is your dream.”
If it’s a dream, most things can be easily solved. The Queen of the Fairies herself said this.
However, she only took a step back and watched us, not showing any hostility like at first.
“That’s right. Excellent. Everyone praises!”
The forest was filled with applause following the Fairy Queen’s clapping. The applause, which was unison without any misalignment, stopped as soon as the Queen stopped her hand.
“That’s right. I’m a fairy too. I really want to play pranks. I want to laugh while watching you all struggle to survive.”
The corners of her lips, which were pulled up with a smirk, seemed to erase the word “innocence” from the world.
“You were so cute when you were so shocked and scared just now? I hope you continue to show good reactions in the future.”
The Fairy Queen grinned and held out her hand. Then, as if her hesitation just now had been a lie, the sacred realm collapsed and darkness encroached inside.
“Continue.”
Various types of fairies approached the place where the barrier collapsed. Those crawling on the ground with dozens of legs. Those flying in the sky with countless tiny wings. Those with huge eyes.
“Continue.”
Laughter was heard. Laughter overlapping laughter. Not only did the laughter fill my ears, but it also filled my head, my body, and my spirit.
“In the realm of the world.”
“That’s great. Playing along with pranks is my specialty.”
The voice that sticks to the air and clings to my body is cut off by the brightly shining golden sword energy.
“Young lady, you trained me so hard.”
“That’s great. I’m so happy that it’s a sturdy toy.”
“It won’t end with just being sturdy. It can’t be broken even if it wants to be broken by a prank like yours.”
The Fairy Queen raises the corners of her eyes at the confident voice of the sword that has suddenly taken its place in front of me.
“Why?”
“I’m serving someone more beautiful and noble than a fairy, so I wouldn’t be fooled by a corrupt person like you!”
“That’s funny. I’m glad I invited you, who is ambiguous, too.”
The moment the queen waved her finger, the once sturdy body of the sword suddenly swayed.
I can’t see what kind of attack he was under, but I can hear the small, anxious voice coming out of his mouth.
The sight of him denying something, apologizing to someone, making excuses, and trembling with his head held high, wondering what he was so afraid of.
“Ah. To be broken by his own innocence being denied. I thought he was strong, but he’s weak. I should have been careful.”
The Fairy Queen answered lightly, as if she were a cheap toy that had been broken, and turned her gaze back to us.
That was when the sword swung its sword, taking advantage of the gap in the Queen’s attention.
The Queen’s head, which I had ignored as a broken toy, clearly flew into the air, but as one head fell to the ground, a new head grew from her body.
The two faces simultaneously expressed their doubts.
“How?”
“Even if someone denies me, if you acknowledge me as a knight, that’s enough! That’s what a knight is!”
Even if others deny it, if you firmly believe it, it doesn’t matter. Right?
...Ah.
Ahhhh.
Ahhhhh!
‘Grandpa! The Fairy Queen and Erginus are definitely in love!’
<That’s right! Surprisingly, they were mutually exclusive!>
That’s why my provocation didn’t work!
My evaluation doesn’t matter to the Fairy Queen at all.
You might feel a little bad, but what does that matter?
The Fairy Queen is only one person! If I can be recognized by Erginus, that’s enough!
<In other words, that person’s weakness is his own love!>
‘I can target that part as much as I want!’
Hehe. Hehehe.
A pure lover who has only loved one person for a long, long time is definitely beautiful!
But even so, in the end, it didn’t come true
It's Lang, isn't it?
"Is that so? Wow. That's fun. Then a bigger nightmare."
"A nightmare?♡ What nightmare?♡ A nightmare where a loner wizard is giggling with another woman?♡"
I giggle and look up at the Fairy Queen. I meet her eyes that are twisted and dyed in black light.
Blackness that cannot be understood by human perception should be unpleasant, but strangely, I found it so pleasant to see her twisted face.
"What?♡ Why are you making that face?♡ Isn't this a fun dream?♡ Should I laugh?♡ Huh?♡"
"...Is the loner wizard you were talking about really Erginus-sama?"
"Poohahaha♡ You thought he was a bit of a loner too?♡ Yeah. That's right♡ He's a pervert who likes any woman with a nice body, but can't approach her, and he's the loner of loners♡"
"Don't insult him. That person." “Why?♡ Why shouldn’t I insult you?♡ Who are you?♡”
“That. That person is mine.”
“Phew♡ Big♡ Puhahahaha♡ A grandma who must be hundreds of years older is embarrassed♡ Is this a joke that kills me?♡ This is no joke!♡”
Countless attacks come at me as I hold my stomach and laugh.
The fairies who reacted to the queen’s emotions moved to exclude me.
But I didn’t respond to that. There was no need to respond. I had reliable companions around me.
Arthur. Frey. Carl. Faby. Each dealt with their enemies in their own ways.
And I too. Faced my enemies in my own way.
“Hey♡ Hey♡ Chicken Coop Lady♡ Did you confess?♡ Holding hands? Kissing? Sex?”
“Wha. What are you talking about?” “Poohahahaha♡ Right♡ You’ve never done it♡ There’s no way an old lady who grows spiders inside her body would ever do something like that!♡”
“Is that embarrassing? I decided to give everything to him. So I’ll never protect my purity.”
“Wow♡ That’s really~ amazing♡ To protect your purity until you rot and fall apart♡ But you know♡ The loner outside the barrier seems to have different thoughts from a woman who smells like a chicken coop like you?♡”
The sound suddenly disappears in the forest filled with darkness.
“You didn’t even know you were a toy?♡ Seriously♡ Poor thing~♡”
