“Eh? But who is this human child?”
Then the fairy saw me standing behind Abish and Alice and narrowed her eyes.
Unlike his bright and playful expression, he had a face full of vigilance.
“It’s a human friend Alice brought.”
“Aha! All right, Your Majesty. Then I’ll take you to the party.”
Fortunately, as soon as Abish explained, the fairy relaxed his vigilance and led us into the village.
“…… !”
The other fairies who were waiting in town, precisely for Alice’s birthday party, were surprised to see me.
“Who is that human?”
“A human? Not a summoner?”
“What?”
However, the fairy I had just met at the entrance roamed around like a bird and spread the story, and the atmosphere quickly calmed down.
“Ah, it’s no different, it’s a human brought by His Majesty’s Summoner.”
“Don’t worry too much~ She’s human, she’s just a little human! Well, the human brought by the Summoner is reliable~”
“Is she a friend of the Summoner? I don’t know the name, but anyway, it’s a friend~”
“…….”
Nevertheless, the fairies’ countless gazes of the fairies were still reaching for me, so somehow I got a little shy.
‘I didn’t expect to get this much attention!’
Then, the fairies came and took Alice who was standing next to me.
“Miss Alice! Since you are the main character of the day, I will make you beautiful. Come this way.”
“That’s right!”
Alice shouted at me as she was led by the fairies.
“Oh, I’ll be right back, Miss Emir!”
“Yes, yes….… ?”
Even Alice suddenly disappeared, so suddenly I was standing alone.
‘What should I do?!’
It was as if I had come to a festival with no one I knew, and it became embarrassing and awkward.
I tried to sit down, but because this is a fairy village, there was no chair the right size for me.
‘Uh, um, I can’t do this or that…….’
As I was wiggling my fingers for some reason, some fairies, who seemed particularly curious, approached me.
“Hmm, little human.”
“Human, what is your name?”
For a moment, I wanted to answer with my last name, but I realized that my last name was meaningless to fairies anyway.
“Um, my name is Emir.”
“Emir! Human Emir.”
“Yes…….”
For some reason, it was a little awkward to have ‘human’ in front of my name.
“How old are you?”
“I…… I am six years old.”
My birthday passed in the summer, so I was 6 years old.
But when the fairy heard my answer, she was startled.
“What? This big is 6 years old?”
“You idiot, she’s human.”
Next to that, another fairy, who seemed to know a little more about humans, poked his forearm and added,
“But I’m 129 years old, and I’m still the size of a human palm?”
I was startled by what the fairy said while tilting his head.
No, you said you were 129?
‘After all, fairies live longer than humans. Besides, he doesn’t look old at all…….’
Then, another fairy asked me.
“Human, can I take a look?”
“Yes? Me?”
Haven’t you been watching enough already?
I opened my eyes and the fairy pointed to the bag in my hand.
“Not you, but your bag.”
“Aha…….”
Indeed, fairies were unfamiliar with human objects, so it was natural to be curious.
It must be for a similar reason, as I am curious about the Fairy Island too.
“Yes, take a look.”
“Great!”
I put the bag on a clean tree stump.
The fairies gathered near the bag in a hurry.
Suddenly, the number of onlookers increased, and in the end more than ten fairies gathered.
“Ugh, it won’t open!”
“Help me, human Emir!”
However, it seems that it was difficult to open because the lock was a little difficult.
I approached and opened the bag.
“Wow, what is this? A handkerchief?”
“I think so. It’s like the carpet in our living room.”
“I heard that humans make cloth out of cotton wool or cocoons? Ahem! I saw it in a book.”
Three fairies were discussing over a piece of my handkerchief.
Meanwhile, there was a fairy who tilted his head in front of a small water bottle.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a water bottle.”
“Humans carry water around and drink it! That’s awesome. Is the water that humans drink similar to the water on this island?”
With a curious expression on his face, I opened the cap of the water bottle and poured a little water.
“If you are curious, you can drink.”
“Yes, good!”
The fairy put his face in the cup.
After a while, he looked up again and his face was wet.
“Oops, I accidentally washed my face with your water. Rather, the water that humans drink is the same. Interesting. Thank you.”
Meanwhile, all of a sudden, the fairies’ interest was in the handbell I brought with me to practice.
“What else is this, is it strange? It sounds like the lily of the valley.”
“What do humans do with these things?”
“Ah, this is an instrument called a handbell.”
The three fairies worked hard together to shake one handbell, and then put down as they were tired and came up to me and asked.
“I like that.”
“…… ?”
“Would you like to swap?”
