Chapter 147.1: Sanshos Village
◆Sansho Village Girl, Wendy
The adults brought breakfast when the morning came. All of them had their faces covered with a white cloth that had small openings at the eyes.
Never once have I seen their faces since coming to this place.
But I knew one thing, I definitely didn't want to see their faces.
「Wendy, gather everyone. We're going to have a more sumptuous feast than usual.」
The adults brought more food than usual today.
They even brought sweets that had never been available before.
The kids cheered loudly upon seeing that.
Lily, whose age was a bit younger than me, was the only one who didn't cheer.
「Wendy... Why are they bringing more food than usual? Big sis Nana is gone and yet...」
Lily was quite anxious.
Because the only time we got more food was when someone was going to leave the house.
When big sis Nana left, we had also gotten more food.
「I'm just as clueless as you, Lily. But please take care of the rest once I'm gone, okay?」
I requested from Lily as I desperately suppressed my trembling voice.
「Wendy...」
Hearing that, Lily almost couldn't hold back her tears.
「It's O—Ouch!」
Suddenly, my ear was pulled when I was about to say "It's alright".
「What's the matter, Wendy?」
Lily cocked her head as she looked at me.
「Uhm, it's nothing, don't worry about it. Rather, Lily. Help me distribute the food to the kids since I have to go check on something.」
I left after I said so.
I could feel Lily's gaze from behind.
But, I really couldn't tell her anything.
「Is something the matter, Tibel-chan?」
I whispered under my breath after finding a suitable hiding place.
A tiny girl with butterfly wings on her back was floating before me.
She was Tibel-chan, the fairy.
She was also the one who pulled my ear before. Meaning that she must have something to tell me.
I met her just this morning.
She could make herself invisible with magic.
Alas, people with unique traits or people with high magical powers could still see through her magic.
And it seems I belonged to the former.
「Human! Prepare a meal for Kuroki-sama~. I'll make you suffer with my magic if you dare to disobey me~.」
Said Tibel-chan as she pointed at me.
But honestly, far from being scary, her gestures just made her look even more adorable instead.
That's why she looked even more charming despite threatening me.
And Kuroki-san was a really kind person, too. That's why I'm sure that despite her high-handed attitude, Tibel-chan was in fact a kind girl.
「Okay, Tibel-chan. I'll bring the food later to Kuroki-san's place. Anything you want, Tibel-chan?」
That's why I had the policy to return the favor of a one-night lodging and a meal regardless of the race.
In that way, I would have a valid reason to save the other party.
「Hey, Tibel. What's your impression when you see the humans bigger than Wendy in this village?」
According to what I heard from Tibel, the adults of this village might be the vampires’ subordinates.
Otherwise, Wendy wouldn't fill in the mother role for those younger than her.
In addition, the adults who hid their faces also didn't live with the children.
No matter how I think about it, they were suspicious.
「They covered their faces~. They didn't seem to be that stro~ng. They can't even see me~.」
「I see.」
Tibel could use invisible magic.
The only ones who could see through her spell were those with high magical power or those with a special ability.
And since none of the adults could see Tibel, it meant that their magical power wasn't that high.
「Well, Tibel's magic seems to be more than enough to handle the~m.」
Said Tibel happily as she flapped her wings.
In fact, Tibel was much stronger than a normal human.
Though her stamina and physical strength were much weaker than humans, her magical power was many times higher than humans.
To begin with, the fairies' adorable appearance was a horror for humans.
Not to mention that they could use powerful wind magic and mind magic, their magic was more powerful than the dryad and Napaia.
They could easily kill humans by making them go round and round in the same place, forever.
In short, don't judge them by their adorable appearance.
And Tibel was considerably powerful among the fairies.
Not to mention that Tibel regarded the human race as inferior creatures.
That's why I was quite anxious when Tibel kept following Wendy.
But, Wendy seemed to be normal when she brought food for us.
For now, I felt relieved since no strange magic was used on Wendy.
「But Tibel. Don't let your guard down. Be very careful since some of those adults might have special powers.」
「Understo~od.」
Tibel replied cheerfully. Her sense of danger was really powerful. That's why she might not be in danger.
In that case, the only one she had to worry about was the vampire, who was also the lord of this village.
This vampire seemed to be living in the castle near this village.
Surely, even I could see that castle from this dilapidated house.
I looked outside from the dilapidated house.
It was an eerie castle built on top of a small hill. Its appearance kinda of reminded me of castles from horror movies.
「Eh? What's that?」
And when I looked at the castle of the lord from the window.
I saw a huge flying ship closing in on the castle of the lord.
