Episode 138

69. We have a new guest – 2

Long ago, I heard a story that there were fairies in the Great Forest.

But after the lake disappeared, the fairies left the Great Forest, and since then, fairies have not been seen in the Great Forest.

But who would have thought a new fairy would appear?

Anyway, a guest is a guest.

Lee Han took the fairy Luna and headed to the cabin.

While she admired the cabin, he made a strawberry cake.

Meanwhile, Luna came back from touring the cabin, the fields, and the greenhouse with Tree, and was greatly impressed when she saw the strawberry cake that Lee Han had made.

“Wow!! What is this?!”

“Ah. This is called strawberry cake. It’s really delicious.”

Hongryeon bragged about her strawberry cake, even though she didn’t make it herself.

Whether it was or not, Luna didn’t pay any attention, and Hongryeon was upset at the sight.

“Hehe. Hold on. Hold on.”

Shredder was also wary of fairies.

But there’s no benefit to having a falling out with a fairy for no reason.

That’s why Shredder, who was trying to catch the fairy by shooting a spider web at any moment, winked at Lee Han.

Hurry up and send me the cake.

“What are you all so wary of?”

“You don’t know. The fear of fairies. Oh my. If you’ve ever been fooled by their tricks, you’d all grind your teeth.”

“Ugh. Fairies are scary. There’s a story that’s been passed down in our village, and some of our ancestors were badly treated by fairies.”

Everyone except Lee Han and Seol-i and Tree were on guard.

But Luna didn’t care about that and just took a big bite of the strawberry cake that was bigger than her body and trembled.

“Jiiiiiiiin! Yummy! Delicious!! Hehehe! I didn’t know the warrior who caught the frog had such skills!”

“It’s nothing. By the way, living here… … . Are the other fairies coming to the Great Forest too?”

“Umm… … That’s not it. I’m the only one living here. I can take care of the fairy flowers all by myself.”

“There are more fairy flowers than you think.”

“Yeah. I saw it earlier. It’s growing really well. Sir. Did you raise it?”

“Please call me Lee Han.”

“Okay! Lee Han! I’ll be counting on you from now on~.”

“Okay. Okay. I’ll take good care of it too. But Luna, I didn’t grow the fairy flower alone. I got help from everyone.”

From creating a place for fairy flowers to grow to imbuing the land with magic.

It wasn’t just his own power that made the fairy flower bloom.

At Lee Han’s answer, Luna looked at him for a moment and then smiled.

“I see~. Anyway, I can take care of a fairy flower like that by myself.”

“What does it mean to take care of a fairy flower?”

“Keeping the fairy flowers from withering and helping new fairies emerge?”

“Are fairies born from fairy flowers?”

“Huh? Didn’t you know? All fairies are born in well-tended fairy flower gardens. We need a fairy to lead the fairies born like that to the fairy country. That’s the duty of the one who takes care of the fairy flowers.”

Suin and Hongryeon were terrified when they heard that fairies were born in the fairy flower garden.

For those who had experienced being treated by fairies, it was difficult to nod obediently like Lee Han.

So, after hearing everyone’s opinions, Lee Han calmly spoke.

“I don’t mind staying in the forest, but please keep a few promises.”

“What is it?”

“I hope the fairies won’t play pranks on us, the water people, or rather, those who live in the Great Forest.”

“Ugh… … . But it wouldn’t be fun without jokes, right?”

“It’s okay even if it’s not fun.”

“Then, instead, I want you to make this for my friends who come here sometimes. In return, we’ll help you with anything you ask for.”

“Okay. Then there’s no reason not to hold hands.”

Lee Han reached out his hand and Luna gently took it.

Is it because I promised not to play around?

Those who had been looking at them anxiously sighed in relief.

“But where are you going to live?”

“Um… … . The fairy who takes care of the fairy flowers must live in the fairy flower garden. But it’s also close to here… … .”

Luna glanced at the cabin.

She really liked that cabin, it looked quite nice.

I thought that if I stayed there, I would be able to eat this strawberry cake that Lee Han makes often.

“Can’t I live here too?”

“It doesn’t matter, but if you want to live here, you have to work.”

“Work? Ughhhhh… … What should I do?”

“I heard that fairies’ magic is very powerful.”

At that moment, Leticia, who was in the corner, raised her hand quietly.

He knew how much damage a single ‘fairy trick’ could do.

And I also knew that the fairy magic was that great.

“But do we need strong magic here?”

At the explanation, Letisha kept her mouth shut.

Well, that’s true too.

Not only Lee Han, but also Shredder, Hongryeon, and Seolryeong have strong powers.

But I wondered if it was really necessary to use fairy magic.

“I can’t help it. Can you please bless the items I make?”

“If that’s the case, then it’s not that difficult… … . But if you give me a blessing, I’ll get hungry. I’ll have to eat a lot of fairy honey. Is that okay?”

“How much do you eat?”

“Hmm. As much as this strawberry cake?”

“Don’t worry. I’m going to start beekeeping.”

“Hehe. Then I’ll do that for you.”

Luna nodded with satisfaction and then naturally flew towards the front of the tree.

She also seems to know that the tree is the world tree.

Even though Tree, who had been staring at her, reached out and grabbed her hand, Luna didn’t show any sign of being annoyed and just smiled brightly.

“By the way, I didn’t know I would see the World Tree here!”

“Hello. I didn’t know I would see a fairy either.”

“Let’s get along well from now on~.”

“Okay. I’ll show you the room you’ll be staying in.”

Tree takes Luna into the cabin.

Shredder, who had been watching it silently, let out a big sigh.

“So even fairies have joined us here.”

“What’s the big deal about fairies when it comes to finding dragons?”

“yes.”

“It’s a surprise. Can’t you make a little noise when you show up?”

Shredder was startled when a dragon appeared next to Lee Han, who was laughing.

The dragon who was giggling at him slapped Lee Han’s arm.

“I came here because I felt a fairy spirit, but it seems like nothing happened.”

“Haha. Yes.”

“If the fairy tries to do something strange, tell me. I won’t sit still either.”

“You already promised. You won’t mess with us.”

“Well then, that’s fortunate… … .”

The dragon walked over and sat down at the table.

Do you have something to say?

Lee Han made an affogato and placed it in front of her.

“Lee Han. I’m going to go now.”

“Oh. Yeah. You’re good at using an axe.”

“Hoo hoo hoo. This axe will become a weapon passed down only to the best warrior in our village.”

Vargentus, who naturally boasted that he was the best warrior in the small tribe village, greeted the dragon and ran away.

The dragon, who had been watching him walk away while sipping affogato, pointed to the cabin.

“Do fairies also live here?”

“Haha. Yes.”

“There are a lot of people gathering.”

“That’s right.”

“Fish gather in clear water.”

“Don’t mention it… … By the way, did your experiment with snowflakes go well?”

“Hmm. Too bad it was a failure. Oh. Right. I think you made a fairy flower garden there. If you don’t mind, can I take a few of the fairy flowers?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Ha. Thanks. Okay. Then I’ll give you this in return.”

The dragon took out a small vial from his bosom and held it out.

It was a bottle containing contents that were pitch-black and rippling.

“What is this?”

“It was created through alchemy. If you sprinkle this on dragon scales, you will be able to refine it like regular iron.”

“Oh. That’s interesting. By the way, alchemy? Do you know how to do alchemy?”

“As I lived for a long time, I became interested in various technologies. Why? Do you want to learn it too? If you live in my nest, I will teach you as much as you want.”

“Haha. I really want it, but I’ll have to decline.”

“Ugh, ugh. What a pity.”

Yong sipped the affogato without showing any particular regret.

And she stood up from her seat and pointed towards Leticia, who was blankly staring at this place from one side.

“But that kid… … .”

“yes?”

“It looks like you learned alchemy. Can you come here for a moment?”

“Did you, dummy, dummy, call, call me… ?”

“This is Leticia. We met before when we went to Dwarven City.”

“Nice to meet you, little elf child.”

“Ye, ye, ye, ye glory, is. Above, the great Jo, Being… … .”

He’s shaking so much it’s painful to look at.

Lee Han smiled bitterly and patted Leticia, and only then did he let out a heavy breath and barely meet Yong’s gaze.

“Oh, I know how to use alchemy, albeit a little… … .”

“I see. You live here too?”

“Yes… … . Thanks to Mr. Lee Han’s consideration… … .”

“Well then, that’s good. Lee Han. Can I take this child with me? If he’s doing something absolutely necessary in the cabin, then fine. If not, I’d like to take him with me and have him help me with my experiments.”

“I don’t mind, but… Leticia. Are you okay?”

I was so scared just standing in front of the dragon that I wondered if I was being asked to do something useless.

But Leticia’s expression brightened to the point where it seemed as if what she had been afraid of just a moment ago had been a lie.

“It is an honor to be able to participate in the research of such a great person!”

Why is Leticia, who was completely frozen until just a moment ago, so happy?

When Lee Han looked puzzled, Seol Myung-hee jumped up and hugged him, explaining to him.

“Alchemists have to sacrifice a lot to gain a little knowledge. The dragon is an excellent alchemist. When such an alchemist asks for help with his research, it means he wants to take you as his disciple.”

“oh…….”

“If this child lives here, it will be of help to you when he learns more from me.”

This was also the dragon’s consideration.

Lee Han smiled at her and nodded.

“That’s good. Oh. And there’s one more thing I’d like to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“I was wondering if you could help me grow some herbs for my alchemy. I can give you seeds.”

“You can leave it to me at any time.”

Yi Han smiled at the dragon who asked him to grow herbs, and the dragon smiled back with satisfaction.

“Then let’s go to my place. Maybe there’s something I’ve been keeping that you want.”
