“Is that all you need?”
“Yes, I need them all.”
As Cordelia spoke with a big smile, the Wild Fairy Queen nodded her head again.
Twinkle twinkle.
It’s literally sparkling.
Cordelia’s long, thin fingers were covered in rings from her thumb to her ring finger, and although she wore a brooch on her chest, she also wore a separate necklace.
It didn’t end there.
bracelet.
belt.
earring.
Even though he was wearing boots, he was wearing an ankle bracelet.
How on earth did you get that?
I wonder if there’s something stuck in the toes of my shoes too.
Anyway, among the sparkling ornaments, Cordelia was smiling brightly and on top of her head, in addition to the rabbit ears headband, there was a tiara with a blue jewel set on it.
Colorful and sparkly, dangling.
While Uther was admiring Cordelia’s beauty, which was supposed to be a terrible hybrid, the Fairy Queen looked back at Uther with a miserable face.
“You too?”
“Yes, me too.”
In fact, Yuder wasn’t that different.
She wore rings on all ten fingers, different earrings on each ear, a necklace around her neck, a belt around her waist, bracelets on her arms, and on her waist, in addition to the Eastern Warrior’s Sword and the Bicorn Horn Dagger, she also had a beautiful Elven Sword. She also tied a new string to her thigh and tied a dagger there.
And clothing.
Cordelia wore a gorgeous red cloak around her back, and Uther wore a very large purple coat.
They were all the heritage of the high elves, and were magical items, whether strong or weak.
“It’s sparkly.”
“Self-luminous.”
“Pretty! Handsome!”
The fairies were squealing without thinking, but the Fairy Queen still had a puzzled look on her face.
That would be the case because there was no uniformity in equipment.
Unlike the fairies who were complete brats, the Fairy Queen was an adult.
In her eyes, it was clear that the two rings, one that strengthened the cold attribute and one that strengthened the fire attribute, had a counteracting effect.
But do you need all that?
“I need it. I really, really need it.”
As Cordelia clasped her hands together and emphasized the necessity, Uther continued to mutter inwardly.
‘Not now, but later.’
In fact, if you look at each one individually, there isn’t anything that great.
As the Fairy Queen saw, there were many things that had a countervailing effect on each other.
But so what?
First, take care of it and see.
If you don’t have a place to use it, you can just sell it.
‘I take as much as I can, when I can, and where I can.’
Because it’s definitely better than having leftovers and throwing them away, rather than having to fumble around with them.
‘That’s a great mindset.’
Nodding to himself, Uther looked back at Cordelia and the Fairy Queen.
The Fairy Queen nodded with a puzzled expression, wondering if Cordelia’s persuasion (?) had worked.
“Okay. Then let’s go to where the monster is.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“I will live up to your expectations.”
As Cordelia and Uther answered immediately, the Fairy Queen’s heart also seemed to relax a little and her affectionate smile returned.
“Close your eyes.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“You answer really well. And you’re pretty too.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
The Fairy Queen’s smile deepened as Cordelia closed her eyes and began to act gentle again.
“Okay, you can open your eyes now.”
Indeed, the Fairy Queen.
I didn’t even feel like I was moving, but when I opened my eyes, I was in a huge cave instead of the fairy forest.
I couldn’t tell if it was underground or above ground, but it seemed like a huge cavity dug into a mountain or the ground.
‘I saw this in The Lord of the Rings.’
Uther nodded at Cordelia’s gaze and looked around a little more.
‘indeed.’
There was a bridge between two thousand-foot cliffs, and in the middle of the bridge, a giant demon was sitting curled up.
‘Lacto.’
If heaven had guardians of the tombs, hell had Lacto.
This demon mainly served as a goalkeeper, and although it looked like a cousin of the Minotaur, it was stupid and boasted terrifying strength.
“Can you handle it?”
When the Fairy Queen asked in a small voice as if she was worried, Cordelia nodded immediately.
“Of course. Just watch.”
At the confident declaration, not only the Fairy Queen but also the fairies who had come to watch from behind brightened up.
“Yuder, Yuuder. The opponent is Lacto, so do you know what to do?”
“I know.”
Yuder lightly released his wrist, shook his neck a few times, and spoke again.
“Ready? You?”
“me too.”
Cordelia, who had once again taken hold of Moonlight, took a deep breath and took a step forward.
And Lacto responded to that movement.
The one that had been frozen as if it had turned into a stone opened its eyes with a flash and saw Uther and Cordelia approaching its legs. It slowly spread its wings and stood up.
“Armament: a double-edged axe and a large shield. A whip on his waist.”
“Judging by your eyes, you seem to be mid- to low-level among Lacto.”
“But still, the devil is the devil.”
“You are a devil.”
A being that can easily tear apart even a low-level mine.
But there was tension, but no fear, in the footsteps of Uther and Cordelia.
And finally, in front of the bridge.
“Kekekeke… It’s been a while since I’ve tasted blood.”
An unpleasant voice, like scraping iron, came out of Lacto’s mouth.
The fairies watching from behind hugged each other in fear, but Uther and Cordelia felt relieved.
‘That’s a line for the leftovers.’
‘Let’s just do it according to plan.’
Lacto on the bridge.
It was Yuder who started. He stomped the ground roughly and created a golden whirlwind. He wrapped them around his entire body and released his energy, so everyone, including Lacto, could not help but focus their attention on Yuder.
“Kekekeke… I feel like fighting.”
Lacto said and Uder grinned. As he took a step forward, Lacto put down his axe and picked up his whip.
And at that very moment.
Cordelia began to recite a spell. The fairies looked at Cordelia in surprise at the powerful gathering of magical power, and Lacto also flinched and raised his shield.
“Echo of the Order.”
It was activated. It copied Cordelia’s spell and created another magic.
Overflowing magic.
A rising whirlwind.
A powerful energy was released from Lacto’s entire body. A purple energy appeared on his shield as if he was ready to block any attack.
And right after that.
At that moment, everyone, including the Fairy Queen, held their breath.
Cordelia unleashed a powerful blast of magic onto Moonlight. Instead of sending it towards Lacto, it slammed into the ground!
Kwagagagagaga-!
The bridge shook. Black waves spread across the bridge, and the magic that had been cast once as an echo of the spell passed through the same place it had already passed through.
Kwajijijijik-!
A crack appeared. The entire bridge was covered in countless lines, as if it were a spider web.
And then Uther struck down the sword.
As the black dragon’s energy was released onto the floor, black energy rose up between the cracks.
“uh.”
The Fairy Queen spoke, and Lacto looked down at his feet. Cordelia smiled and waved.
“hi.”
clattering.
The bridge literally fell apart, and Lacto, who was sitting on it, also fell.
Screams are heard one after another.
Cordelia nodded with a satisfied expression and looked back at the Fairy Queen together with Uther.
“I defeated him!”
I got it.
Lacto.
With legs crossed.
“All, all, the legs are gone!”
The Fairy Queen shouted as she flew towards Uther and Cordelia.
I asked him to kill the monster blocking the path, but he ended up destroying the path itself.
As the excited Fairy Queen was about to shout something again, Yuder quickly raised his hand to stop her.
“No, no. It’s okay.”
“What the hell is so good about it!”
My legs are gone!
Cordelia said as the Fairy Queen grabbed the back of her neck without her knowing.
“But fairies have wings.”
“what?”
“You have wings, so you can fly.”
The lacto that had been blocking traffic has disappeared.
Their legs are also gone, but since they are fairies that can fly in the first place, legs are not really necessary.
“Right?”
The Fairy Queen felt dizzy at the rather logical words, and Uder smiled and said.
“Fairy Queen, I’m sorry, but could you step aside for a moment?”
“Step back…what are you talking about?”
“Not yet.”
The last one to speak was Cordelia.
She looked back at Uther and started counting the numbers, and Uther also joined Cordelia in doing so.
“5.”
“4.”
“3.”
“2.”
““1!””
The two people who shouted at the same time turned around, and at that moment a huge roar rang out.
“Woooooo!”
It was Lacto. Lacto, who had spread his bat wings and soared, looked at Uther and Cordelia, and Cordelia activated the magic she had prepared in advance.
“Wind Cutter.”
Continuous casting with the echo of the spell.
A sharp blade of wind flew towards its target, leaving a large wound on Lacto’s wing with a rustling sound.
“Hello again.”
“Crucifixion of the Holy Cross.”
Yuder swung the Holy Cross towards Lacto.
Hit by the golden cross, Lacto immediately lost his balance and fell once again, flapping his wings that were not moving properly.
“Eww!”
thud!
Uther and Cordelia looked back at the Fairy Queen, who blinked her eyes before barely opening her lips.
“uh······.”
“Let’s continue the story we were talking about. Even though they don’t have legs, fairies have wings, so they should have no trouble using this path.”
“But, but······.”
“And think about it. Now that you have no legs, there’s no more chance of a monster like Lacto blocking your legs.”
The bees were gathering in the flower garden, so let’s destroy the flower garden itself. It was a grand feast of words, but the ones listening to this were the fairies.
“Wow! Really?”
“You’re smart!”
“Without legs, there will be no monsters anymore!”
As the fairies rejoiced, Cordelia smiled and looked at the Fairy Queen, and Uther smiled again and spoke.
“It’s all thanks to the Fairy Queen.”
“uh?”
“Thanks to your generous donation of such precious equipment, we were able to destroy the bridge that was the cause of all this.”
“That’s right, it’s all thanks to the Fairy Queen.”
“Applause for the Fairy Queen!”
“Wow!”
Uther spoke and Cordelia caught the wind.
The fairies, who were originally cheerful, began to clap along when Cordelia clapped her seal hands.
“Long live the Queen!”
“Viva!”
“Viva!”
This is what is meant by driving.
In the end, the Fairy Queen had no choice but to smile awkwardly.
“Uh… uh… Yeah, that’s right. That went well.”
“Wow! Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty is so beautiful!”
The last one was Cordelia.
She had been tormented by fairies so much that she now knew them very well.
“Ahem.”
Even the Fairy Queen is still a fairy.
She blushed and liked the words “pretty,” and Uther and Cordelia turned their gazes to each other.
‘Doesn’t it seem like it went well?’
‘Oh, now I just have to finish it.’
The real ending to this affair.
But before that, there was still one thing left to take care of.
“Your Majesty, please step back a little.”
The Fairy Queen tilted her head at Cordelia’s words, but soon stepped back, and Uther and Cordelia looked at each other and began counting again.
“5.”
“4.”
“3.”
“2.”
““1!””
“Woooooooooo!”
Lacto, covered in blood, poked his head out. His right horn was broken, as if he had fallen, and blood was flowing out of his head.
“Krrrr······.”
anger.
hatred.
anger.
The guy who had climbed up the cliff let out a roar and tried to jump up in one breath.
But it was impossible.
It was Uther and Cordelia who were already standing in the position where he would place his hands.
“This time, goodbye for sure.”
“bye.”
Uther roughly stepped on the hand that was supporting the bastard’s body, and Cordelia pushed the bastard away with her telekinesis.
“Eww!”
Lacto fell again with a heartbreaking scream.
I wanted to say something to curse Uther and Cordelia, who were smiling wickedly on the cliff, but I was falling too fast.
And then thud again.
“Oh, level up.”
“Got it.”
Uther and Cordelia, who discovered the pure white rings floating on each other’s chests, smiled in satisfaction and then looked back at the Fairy Queen.
“I got it.”
“You can rest assured now.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
The Fairy Queen, who stuttered without realizing it, quickly took a deep breath to control herself.
Anyway, now that the monster is gone, it’s time to solve one more problem.
But why is that?
Why do I keep having this ominous feeling?
The answer was right before my eyes.
“Your Majesty.”
“huh?”
“Now, let’s do the final settlement.”
“Settlement? What settlement?”
“Good settlement.”
Now that I’ve completed the quest, shouldn’t I get a reward?
Uther and Cordelia instinctively took brisk steps towards the leader of the wild fairies – no, the wild idiot who was backing away.

“It’s like the devil.”
“So you don’t like it?”
“No, it’s too good!”
