“Ugh! The back of my neck is tight!”
Before Alice could finish her words, Abish flapped his wings in fury and grabbed the back of his neck.
Confused, Alice reached out and held the fairy.
“Are you okay, Sir Fairy?”
“It’s not! It’s not okay! No, do all humans here have twisted eyes? How can that fruit be a cursed fruit?”
Absy quickly poured out the words in a tone that filled with anger.
“That fruit comes from the island where us fairies live! It is a fruit that fairies sprinkle with their own hands and grow with love and devotion. I don’t know how they got such a precious fruit here, but it’s really stupid to put the word curse on it!”
‘Well, what did you say? Fairy? Love and devotion? How did we get it?’
Alice’s head was dizzy.
Abish’s words were so fast that it was impossible to understand them all.
Alice answered in a small voice.
“……Well, it wouldn’t have been difficult to find it. It was brought to me by a friend of mine, and the fruit is very common here.”
It was a fruit that was treated almost like a weed.
At that, Fairy King Abish’s pupils shook slightly.
“Is it common…?”
“Yes. Rather, well. Now, will Sir Abish make a fairy contract with me?”
Alice asked cautiously.
Usually, summoners make a contract with the first summoned target.
She doesn’t know when she’ll be able to summon again after that.
Even among spirits and fairies, the summoner’s information is shared with each other.
Because of this, if they reject the first contract for some reasons, the summoner’s reputation will suffer in the world of spirits and fairies.
It was natural that it would be difficult to find the next summoned target.
So, Alice really wanted the contract to succeed this time.
‘Well, of course, it’s a little burdensome to be the Fairy King, not just an ordinary fairy, but… but will it be okay? If he was a king, he would be very strong. He will protect me.’
Alice’s sparkling eyes reached Abish.
Abish, who had become somewhat burdened, slowly avoided her gaze.
“Th, that! This, this brat! You’re not supposed to make a contract right away! It’s after looking at things and getting to know each other well, both fairies and humans. To thoughtlessly make a contract. What would you do if we don’t have the same pace, and we fight every day?”
“Ah, that, that’s right…”
However, when he saw Alice, who was dazed by his nagging, Abish’s heart weakened a little.
In the first place, fairies were a little persecuted by humans, regardless of whether the humans were young or old.
However, somehow, Abish felt that the girl in front of him was a little sad.
Instead of speaking back, she’s noticing his mood.
‘Huh, hmm. I must have said it too harshly.’
Abish softened his voice slightly.
“So, let’s consider the contract in a week. Hmm.”
“A week! I will.”
At those words, Alice’s face quickly turned bright.
On the other hand, Abish had a puzzled expression as if it was only later that he realized something.
“But where is this very shabby place? It seems there are a couple more people nearby who can summon fairies. Are all summoners poor these days?”
“Oh, that’s… maybe my sister and my father. They both are fairy summoners.”
At that, Abish asked again.
“Are your family commoners?”
“What? Oh no. My father is the Duke of Rose.”
“…The duke I know is a high-ranking human being. Why is this room so small and old? Or did the class of humans change in the meantime?”
At Abish’s question, Alice didn’t say anything.
Abish then noticed something strange about her.
“Give me your hand.”
“Yes? Hand?”
“Yes. One index finger, not one palm. It is essential to check the condition and memories of the contractor before signing the contract. I will read your memories.”
“……Yes.”
Alice hesitated, then quickly held out her index finger.
Abish flew to Alice’s finger and sat down.
“Don’t move for a moment. Moving can cause problems because I have to be focused.”
“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind.”
And after a while.
Abish’s expression as he read Alice’s short years of memory was not very good.
“Anyway, human beings… they were mean and nasty. How can they be mean to this little kid?”
Abish clicked his tongue for a while.
In the meantime, he had learned how Alice had been bullied by her family.
“They discriminate against you because you don’t have that kind of summoner ability and have nothing special.”
“……”
Alice said nothing.
It wasn’t until later that Abish looked into Alice’s eyes.
“Hmm, then what do you think we should do?”
“Yes? What?”
Alice asked with unfamiliar eyes.
Then Abish asked again in a solemn voice.
“I’m talking about the people who are your family. Do you want revenge?”
