Soon, when Shane's basket was full, he packed up and turned his attention elsewhere.
There was still time to wander, and the Fairy Realm wasn't just a lake, a crop field, and some trees…
He soon visited the forest where there was a thicker presence of Mana due to the number of living beings that were accumulating them...
As he got closer to his destination, the smell of flowers and honey became strong, and soon enough, he reached a clearing he had visited before.
Dozens of Forest Sprites hovered here, and they were no taller than Axis…
They also had translucent wings and seemed unbothered by his presence.
At this time, they worked diligently around hives settled within hollowed trunks… They were collecting golden nectar that would later be refined into honey.
Still, some of them paused to wave at Shane shyly, clearly recognizing him as "the human their guardian trusted."
Shane greeted them politely, then lingered for a while, watching the Sprites fly between blossoms.
