Chapter 109

After that, Alice continued to mutter as if dreaming.

After she said it was a fairy, I got closer to the murmur that I couldn’t understand what she was saying.

‘You look comfortable. You’re smiling.’

But I saw the corners of Alice’s lips raised naturally.

She’s probably having a very nice dream.

A few hours later.

Towards the end of kindergarten, Alice woke up.

I was glad because I didn’t know what to do if she slept longer.

“……Uhm, I slept for a long time?”

Alice got up rubbing her eyes and stared at me with a blind expression.

I shrugged.

“No, you slept just right. It’s time for kindergarten to end!”

“Th, then. So, Miss Emir has been here all this time?”

I nodded her head in response to Alice’s question.

“Because you collapsed because of the fruit I gave you. Of course, I had to look after you. More than that, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you’d collapse…”

“Oh, no! I’m fine, Miss Emir. Rather, I really saw that fairy. In my dreams!”

Alice said it was okay and waved her hands.

She then explained what she had dreamed of.

She doesn’t remember it very well, but she says she met and talked with a fairy.

“I felt so much better when I woke up. I think I gained a little bit of power. I feel like I’m going to summon a fairy soon, just like Miss Emir said!”

“…I wish it could be like that. I’ll definitely pray for you. I want Alice to meet the fairy quickly.”

At my words, Alice smiled broadly.

“Thank you, Miss Emir. You did this for me.”

After kindergarten, when she returned home, Alice felt that somehow more and more power was welling up from her body.

‘What’s wrong with this…? I didn’t eat lunch because I slept in kindergarten, and I’m not hungry at all. I can’t even sleep. Is it because I just took a long nap?’

Somehow, she felt confused.

It must have been a long time since she had woken up, but it was like she was still in a dream.

Alice lay on the bed and stared blankly out of the window.

‘It seems to be getting brighter in the room… huh?’

Then Alice noticed something strange about her.

The sun was setting outside, but the inside of the room was as bright as midday.

“Light comes from me!”

After a while, Alice unknowingly exclaimed a small exclamation.

She was sure she had heard of it before.

If you can summon fairies, you will feel the change in your surroundings.

‘I, just like Miss Emir said, can I summon fairies now?’

Alice felt her heart beating non-stop.

And in the blink of an eye, something appeared!

It was a fairy.

It was a beautiful figure wrapped in a mysterious light that was blue and reddish.

“Ahem! Was it you who summoned this body? ……what. You’re a little kid?”

As soon as the fairy appeared, he closed his eyes and spoke with a very arrogant expression, and as if he sensed something was wrong, he opened his eyes and was startled.

The fairy looked like he couldn’t believe it was such a young 7-year-old that had summoned him.

“Fairy? Are you a fairy?”

Of course Alice was so delighted with herself to have summoned the fairy herself, that she couldn’t care less about the fairy’s expression.

“Hmm, kehmm. Right. I am the Fairy King, Abish.”

The fairy, who was staring at Alice like that, coughed a little.

It seems that he was embarrassed that he had done so much against this little child summoner.

“Not a fairy, but the fairy king……?”

And when Alice heard what the fairy had to say, she was greatly astonished.

She would have just been surprised that he was a fairy, how she had summoned a fairy king herself!

She doubted her ears if she had heard something wrong.

“Of course, this body is the fairy king. You didn’t summon me without knowing, right? That can’t be. This body can only be summoned by a large vessel capable of summoning a king.”

“Um, I, uh… I summoned you without knowing.”

“My God!”

At Alice’s candid answer, Abish, the Fairy King, lost his balance and spun around in the middle of the air.

Then he got very angry.

“Oh dear, oh dear. This rascal. No, how can you summon this body without knowing the true value? I am really annoyed! No matter how young you are, you can’t put up with me!”

“Well, that’s… I ate the fruit, so I guess that’s why.”

“What fruit are you talking about?”

As Abish frowned, Alice hurriedly pulled a piece of paper out of her bag and drew a picture.

“It’s a fruit that looks like this. It’s usually called the cursed fruit, but it doesn’t have a specific name…”
