A new 'fairy' arrived in the forest.
Although she had a human appearance, her aura was indeed that of a 'Pure-blooded Fairy.'
In this world, spirits and fairies are different.
Fairies are more like the embodiment of nature.
Spirits are similar to fairies but are creatures with an ecology closer to humans.
The fairy Eidor felt the presence of a 'companion.' Having never met another fairy before, she immediately rushed out of her home to meet her companion. However, the moment she saw her 'companion,' she froze because the person appearing in her vision was a human. Yes, no matter how she looked at it, it was a human. Eidor felt the 'Heart of Nature' aura coming from the other person; she didn't know if she was wrong or if the world was wrong—why would a human possess a special skill exclusive to the fairy race?
[So it's an actual fairy?]
The Spider Child, observing from the shadows, felt it was very strange.
Do creatures like fairies really exist?
Something feels a bit off.
I'll go ask those two fellows, the Demon King and Black, later.
After all, the fairy race is just too special.
Furthermore, the fairy in front of her was clearly a Pure-blooded Fairy as recorded, but according to what she knew, Pure-blooded Fairies should have left this world along with the Pure-blooded Dragon Tribe. There shouldn't be any Pure-blooded Fairies in this world now, yet the fairy before her was indeed pure-blooded, though her strength didn't seem like that of a Pure-blooded Fairy.
Eidor failed to notice the presence of the Spider Child.
She secretly followed that 'companion.' Because the 'companion' was a human, she instinctively hid herself. In her impression, humans were very wicked creatures; although she had never truly interacted with humans, from what she knew, the reason this world was on the brink of destruction was due to the actions of the human race, the true culprits.
The Spider Child tried to use Appraisal on Eidor.
But the result was an Appraisal failure.
And based on the familiar aura on this Pure-blooded Fairy, this incredibly weak fairy was actually a God? The Spider Child was stunned; she felt she could squash this fairy with just a hand, and this fairy's presence felt even weaker than the group of puny humans around the Hero. Yet such a weak little thing was actually a True God? At the same time, the Main Body's side found Black and the Demon King, but asking them didn't yield a definitive answer either, as neither of them knew of this fairy's existence.
Because the Spider Child had withdrawn her aura.
Coupled with the new skill Tsukasa had secretly learned on her own.
She soon encountered a high-level monster.
An Earth Dragon.
It belonged to the Dragon Species.
Although its level was only LV10.
It was undoubtedly a high-level monster!
Its stats were even more powerful than the White-Eyed Tiger's before it leveled up.
The Earth Dragon sensed someone's arrival, glanced up, and then lowered its head back to the river to drink water. Tsukasa, who had prepared herself for a fierce battle and had just finished chanting her magic, saw the Earth Dragon expose its back to her without any guard. What did this Earth Dragon mean? Was it looking down on me? Tsukasa thought of the White-Eyed Tiger's attitude when it first appeared, feeling that the Earth Dragon's thoughts were the same as the White-Eyed Tiger's back then—it simply didn't take a weak human like her seriously!
Mana condensation!
The fiery red magic circle emitted intense heat.
The color of the fireball gradually deepened.
A surge of killing intent rose in Tsukasa's heart.
"Wait a moment!"
A voice suddenly appeared in Tsukasa's mind, interrupting her spellcasting.
A rainbow-colored light emerged.
A blonde girl in a white dress appeared in front of the Earth Dragon and said softly to it: "Leave this place quickly."
Her voice appeared directly in the head, not transmitted through sound.
Tsukasa looked warily at the pure and beautiful girl with a perfect figure. The reason she used 'one' to describe her was that although her proportions were perfect, her size was only about the size of a human palm; she was clearly not human, but likely some kind of monster with a human form.
"How rude, I am a fairy!"
A fairy?
Tsukasa thought about it.
Information about many fairies flashed through her mind.
There were those from monster girl media.
Those from monster manuals.
Those from movie records.
Because she knew of many kinds of fairies.
And quite a few could match the fairy before her, so she couldn't judge her strength. Although she risked being discovered by using Appraisal, the response she got was "Appraisal failed," a reply that made her want to jump in shock.
This was the first time she had encountered an existence that couldn't be appraised.
"What is wrong with you
anyway? Your thoughts are so chaotic."
"...?!"
"There's no need to be so surprised. I'm a fairy; isn't it normal to be able to read minds?"
No, no, no, that is not common knowledge at all!
"Is that so? Well, I haven't met any other fairies either."
...Tsukasa cleared her mind.
She began to chant magic.
Damn it.
In that case, I can only fight to the death!
"Why did it develop like this?!"
"I get it, I won't read your mind anymore. Now, can we have a proper talk? Reincarnator from another world."
Tsukasa's movement to chant magic paused.
Is this fellow a god-level fairy?
Hey, how was the fact that I'm a Reincarnator exposed?
Was it through the mind reading just now? Did she expose herself?
"What do you want to talk about?"
Tsukasa gave up on the idea of fighting.
She preferred talking right now.
Seeing Tsukasa stop her spellcasting, Eidor felt relieved, but she remained composed on the surface.
She didn't have much combat ability; if she couldn't bluff this person, she would have used teleportation magic to flee just now.
"I want to talk about the Heart of Nature within you."
"I don't have such a thing."
A split-second reply.
As soon as Tsukasa heard that name, she knew such a thing couldn't possibly be on her. How could something that sounded so precious be on her? Even if it did exist, she had to answer that she didn't have it, and the fact was she truly didn't know she possessed such a valuable thing.
"It's not some kind of treasure. Heart of Nature is a skill exclusive to our fairy race. You, as a member of the Human Race, should not be able to obtain this skill. Even with the existence of that System, you shouldn't be able to get it, so I'm very curious about how you learned it."
That's right.
Eidor naturally knew of the System's existence.
No matter how weak, her essence was still that of a God.
Tsukasa heard her words.
She silently looked at her
Right before her eyes.
Just like an illusion in a puzzle game.
The words 'Nature Affinity' transformed into 'Heart of Nature.'
"Hiss!"
