Tsukasa's life lately could be described as a series of hardships.
First, her parents were going to sell her to a noble. To protect her purity, she had to take the risk of fleeing into a dangerous area like the Monster Mountain Range overnight.
Just as she had settled down in the Monster Mountain Range,
she encountered the overlord monster of that area.
After nearly being killed, she had to force herself to adapt to the rules of this world as quickly as possible, then pulled herself together and began her journey of killing monsters to level up. Although there were difficult times—that battle with the low-health Greedy Moon Wolf King really came within a hair's breadth of taking her life—she survived and gained a significant boost.
Then she met the so-called Hero's party, though there was no need to record that since she would likely never have any interaction with those people again in this life. However, what followed was the real problem. She had clearly just picked a skill with great cost-performance and excellent effects, so why did it involve a powerful fairy who couldn't be Appraised? Moreover, she had heard a very shocking truth about the world. If possible, she really wished she had never heard of it.
And this powerful fairy had latched onto her and wouldn't leave.
Not only that, but most despicably, this fairy was maliciously preventing her from killing monsters to level up. Even for a'saint,' this was going too far, wasn't it? There's no such thing. Besides, monsters naturally prey on each other; that's the rule of the forest. As the incarnation of nature, the Fairy Race should understand this principle very well, so there's absolutely no reason to stop her from leveling up, right? Therefore, she strongly suspected this fairy was targeting her on purpose. After all, as long as she couldn't level up, she might eventually really agree to go to that Fairy Village with her.
"...How is that possible! I'm a Fairy, you know. How could I have such wicked intentions!" Eidor argued vehemently.
But unfortunately.
Tsukasa could no longer believe a word this Fairy said.
"Is that so? Then why don't you explain why you keep stopping me from hunting monsters?"
"Because your method is incorrect!"
Eidor flew right up to Tsukasa's face.
The rainbow light radiating from her body was truly beautiful.
Mhm.
Very deceptive.
After all, many humans are visual creatures.
At first glance, they wouldn't think a beautiful person is bad, unless it's a case of like-repels-like.
But is that correct?
Thinking carefully.
In some works, beautiful creatures like unicorns and fairies are actually evil. Although those works are fictional, one can't say the possibility is zero. So, who can prove that the beautiful fairy in front of her is truly a good fairy?
Maybe her inner self is actually that of an evil demon?
In some of the works she knew from her past life.
There were many versions of fairies.
In some of those versions, they were demons.
Fairies would disguise themselves in forms humans liked to get close to them.
They took pleasure in pranks and fed on human spirit.
"I am not!"
Eidor was about to explode with rage.
Originally, she felt a bit of guilt and unease, but she never expected Tsukasa to slander her as something as ugly as a demon!
And the image Tsukasa imagined was far too hideous.
That was an image of a fairy Tsukasa had seen in some R-rated works in her past life.
Their appearance was somewhere between a Goblin and a gnome.
But their eyes were more vicious, their ears sharper, and their bodies smaller.
They were skilled in using illusions.
As for what those fairies used illusions for...
Well, they were R-rated works after all... Tsukasa stared deeply at Eidor for a few moments.
She was very pretty, and frighteningly, she seemed to be exactly Tsukasa's favorite type.
"How are you going to prove it?"
After all, it couldn't be a coincidence that she was exactly her favorite type.
This must be an illusion!
Could that Fairy Country be...?
Thinking of certain 'caves' and such places in R-rated works.
For a moment, Tsukasa felt a chill down her spine.
No way, right?
I've already smeared mud on my face.
Can this damned charm still attract demons?!
Eidor clenched her fists.
Damn it, if her power were still there, she would definitely give this little fellow a piece of her mind!
Her head is filled with nothing but filthy things!
Because Tsukasa was remembering all sorts of information from works she had seen back when she was still a man before transmigrating.
For a moment, Eidor was too embarrassed to even use Mind Reading.
Too filthy!
And how could the Fairy Race possibly do...
...that kind of thing?
That's just too exaggerated, no matter how you look at it.
Cough!
Miss Fairy's face flushed with shame.
It was an incomparably pleasing sight.
But at this moment, Tsukasa couldn't help but take two steps back.
The more she reacted like this, the more afraid Tsukasa became.
Because it felt like an illusion the other party was using.
Purposely letting her see it.
So that she would lower her guard.
After all, she couldn't deny that in this different world.
The plots from those R-rated works might actually happen.
Maybe those monsters that appear in doujinshi really do exist?
Rather, they definitely exist!
"There's no such thing!"
Eidor was starting to lose it.
Damn it.
She clearly didn't want to read her mind.
But if she didn't, she wouldn't know what Tsukasa was thinking.
Tsukasa didn't like expressing her thoughts through words.
"Really? Tentacle Monsters, Slimes, Goblins, Succubi—none of those exist?"
"Ugh... urgh!"
Eidor couldn't voice such an obvious lie.
"Actually, I have another way to prove your innocence."
"What way?"
"That is for you to stop following me. If you continue to follow me, it proves you really do harbor improper intentions toward me."
She made it sound so reasonable.
As if!
Miss Fairy wasn't that easily fooled.
"No."
She had finally found a companion.
Moreover, given the current environment of this world, she didn't feel safe letting Tsukasa wander around outside alone.
Tsukasa hadn't expected to get rid of her so easily anyway.
So she took a step back and proposed her real demand.
"Then stop preventing me from hunting monsters."
"..."
Eidor felt she had fallen into a trap.
But she didn't seem to have the option to refuse.
Because this was Tsukasa's bottom line.
If she didn't agree, Tsukasa would surely do everything in her power to find a chance to run away.
And she definitely wouldn't be able to stop her then.
She knew very well how weak she currently was; it was only her divinity and Mind Reading that gave Tsukasa the illusion that she was very strong.
"Fine..."
Just as Eidor was about to agree.
A blast of wind element suddenly launched an attack toward Tsukasa.
Before she could even react.
Tsukasa's body was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
Eidor looked at the splattered blood and Tsukasa, who lay nearby, her life or death unknown, half her body a bloody mess, and fell into a deathly silence.
She looked up and saw a Godwind Tiger King standing there.
The magic just now had been released by it.
[Then let me confirm your true strength, Miss Fairy.]
A small spider secretly scurried to Tsukasa's side at this time, poking its head out to look at Eidor and the Godwind Tiger King.
