Chapter 327
"Huh? Go to Vision world?"
Lilia, in the midst of enjoying a slice of cake, had her eyes widened by my sudden request. Kaneff, who was sharing the dessert with her, mirrored her perplexed expression with a furrowed brow.
"What is this all of a sudden? What trouble did you get into again?"
"It's not that…?"
I explained the dire situation with the missing fairies and shared what Speranza had told me, venting a hint of frustration.
Lilia grew more concerned as she grasped the gravity of the situation.
"Ah! All the fairies are gone? Then it's a big problem for the strawberry field."
"So we have to find the fairies quickly. The fairies wouldn't have left the strawberry field voluntarily. They might have been forced to leave due to unavoidable circumstances."
"Then let's go save them quickly! I'll help you with anything!"
While Lilia fired up, Kaneff, still skeptical, interjected.
"Wait a minute! So are you guys going to the Vision world?"
"We have to do something. This is our only lead," I replied.
“You're not going to take Speranza with you, are you?"
For a moment, the atmosphere became chilly as if a winter wind blew.
The incident where Speranza collapsed in the Vision world had been a great shock not only to me but also to all the farm members. It was quite natural to have this atmosphere just by the indirect mention of that incident.
After careful consideration, I answered the question.
"Of course not. Speranza gave us this clue, but we're not going to take her to the Vision world. No matter how urgent the fairies’ situation is, I can't put Speranza in danger."
As if he liked my firm attitude, Kaneff nodded his head and relaxed his expression a little.
"How about me?"
"I don't mind you going."
“……”
"What? Even if I tell you not to go, you'll find a way to go."
"I'm a bit disappointed".
"Disappointed! Don't interrupt me when I eat the cake. Go away!"
Soon, Lia and Ashmir came into the living room holding a piece of cake and warm tea. And Speranza followed closely behind them.
"Everyone, you've been through a lot in the cold. Have some food and warm tea here."
“Here you go, Shiyeon.”
"Thank you, Lia, Ashmir."
Alfred and Urki also received warm tea, relieving the cold from their bodies.
I was feeding a cake to Speranza, who sat next to me, and Lia, who read the atmosphere of the living room, approached me.
"By the way, is something wrong?" she asked.
"Oh, well, that's…”
I briefly explained the disappearance of the fairies to Lia and Ashmir, who were not in the living room.
"Oh, my! Are all the fairies really gone? That's a big deal."
Lia showed a surprised reaction similar to mine. Although Ashmir didn't show a big change in emotion, her eyes sparkled with a little light, showing her interest.
"So, I have to go to Vision world. I don't know how Speranza found the trace of Gyuri, but now that’s the only clue."
"I want to go too, Papa!"
"Speranza can't go."
“I want to see Gyuri too. ”
"Gyuri will come with Papa. Speranza will wait here."
"Papaaaa~ Papaaaa~!"
Speranza shook my arm, trying to act cute. If it was normal, I would have been swayed by Speranza's cuteness, but this time I firmly shook my head.
"Aww…"
When her cuteness didn't work, Speranza pouted and made both cheeks bulge.
Even though I felt sorry for her, I couldn't help it.
"Senior, shall I come with you?"
"I'll come with you, too, Senior Sihyeon."
Alfred and Urki said one after another that they would come with me.
"You guys take a little rest. You kept walking for a while looking around for the fairies."
"I am okay, senior Sihyeon."
"I'm fine, too."
"I'm not okay… your ears and nose are still red. Besides, there's no need for too many people to go. Two of you should take some rest."
I comforted the two who looked regretful, telling them to rest more.
"Then, would it be okay if I come instead?"
"Ashmir?"
“I want to visit the place called Vision world. I'll help with anything. Please allow me to follow. "
There was a sense of unwavering persistence in Ashmir's expressionless face. It seemed like she would continue to request it until I accepted her request.
There was no need for a lot of people anyway.
I couldn't think of any particular reason to refuse the help. I had no choice but to nod.
"Uh…okay. Ashmir, please come with us."
"I'll get ready right away."
⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩
Lilia took out the dimensional portal device, and since she had already made all the necessary preparations, the setup was completed faster than expected.
The three of us were heading to the Vision world: me, Lilia, and Ashmir.
It would have been more reassuring if Andras was here…
Right now, Andras was on a date with Amy. If there was an emergency, he would rush to help immediately, but I didn't want to disturb their recently heated relationship.
-Wurrrrrr ……
-Paaah!
The portal hummed to life, and I quickly bid farewell to those who came to see me off.
"I'll be back soon. Please take care of Speranza for me."
"Don't worry, Shiyeon."
Once through the portal, the landscape shifted in an instant, and we found ourselves in a familiar area that resembled the farm.
"Sihyeon. Is this…?" Ashmir murmured with astonishment.
She looked around, scrutinizing the surroundings in detail, and squatted on the ground to examine the flowers.
"She must be amazed by Vision world."
"Let's leave Ashmir alone and find Gyuri…"
Before I could start searching, from a distance, something small flew quickly toward me.
"Sihyeon~~~ Popiiiii!"
Whoosh!
Before I could react, a little fairy rushed into my face. It was so fast that I felt dizzy from the shock.
"Ugh!! Why did you come so late, Popi!"
"Uh… Gyu… Gyuri?"
The small fairy, with her orange hair, held onto my face and made a complaining noise.
"Do you know how long I have been waiting for you, Popi!?"
"What happened, Gyuri? Why are you here? What about the other fairies?"
"Awwwwwwwwwww!"
“Wait a minute, Gyuri.”
I tried to calm her down, but the fairy's agitation did not subside easily. In the midst of the chaos, someone else appeared.
"Are you finally here?"
"Master Bellion!"
"That little girl was talking so much. If you didn't come today, I would have gone crazy."
Bellion shuddered and looked blue to the point where his beard trembled. Perhaps he was quite bothered by Gyuri.
"Bellion?"
"Oh, Ashmir, do you know Master?"
Ashmir looked at Bellion and said with an incredulous look.
"Wasn't he the one who was active with the Demon named ‘Kael' during the war of dimensions?"
"That's right. You know about my Master?"
"The history of dimensional war is considered important by all the Angels and learned. I know that he has shown tremendous performance beyond Demons’ limits."
"Haha! I don't know who it is, but you learned about me properly."
Bellion nodded with a satisfied smile.
"By the way, Sihyeon. How did he end up here?"
"It's such a long and complicated story that I'll explain it to you later. I have a more important thing to do now."
"Huh! It's been a while since you came here, but you don't seem to care about your Master."
"Oh, no. It's because it's really urgent. Please be patient, Master."
This time, I hurriedly soothed Bellion and looked at Gyuri again. The little fairy stood on my palm in a demure manner.
Tears were still in her eyes, but the intense emotions seemed to have subsided a lot.
"Gyuri, are you okay now?"
NOD.
"The fairies in the strawberry field suddenly disappeared, so everyone is worried. What the hell happened?"
Gyuri sniffed and stuttered open her mouth.
"Sniff! They left… Sniff… No, they were taken away, Popi!"
"Who took them away?"
"····· The queen, Popi!
"Queen? Are you talking about the queen you told me about last time?"
"That's right, Popi!"
I suspected it for a while, wondering if it was possible, but the queen really seemed to be the culprit who took the fairies.
"But why did the queen suddenly take all the fairies? Did you guys do anything wrong?"
"I don't know. Popi! Suddenly everyone was dragged by the queen's power, Popi!"
"Uh…"
The reason is…
They were all taken away without knowing…
For some reason, it felt like things were getting more complicated, and Lilia, who was listening to the story next to me, suddenly stepped in and asked.
"Then what about you? How did you stay here without being dragged?"
"The queen's ability is absolute, so I have to be dragged, Popi! But I resisted until the end because I thought I would never be able to come back here if I were dragged like that, Popi!”
Gyuri continued with a gloomy expression.
"I wanted to help my friends somehow, but everyone got dragged away, Popi! And when I opened my eyes I was here, Popi!"
To sum up, the queen took all the fairies.
Gyuri resisted the Queen's call until the end and came to Vision world.
I asked Gyuri with a hint of hope.
"Maybe there was a misunderstanding? Over time, the other fairies may return."
"No, Popi! If the queen dragged you like this, it would be hard to come back, Popi!"
"Hmm…?”
It didn't seem to be an easy situation to solve either.
If Gyuri had not remained like this, I would have never known the whereabouts of the other fairies forever.
I patted Gyuri's small back with gratitude and comfort.
"What should we do now, Sihyeon?"
"……."
Gyuri, who was in the palm of my hand, waved her wings and flew in front of my face. And she asked with a desperate look on her face, putting her hands together.
"Please help, Popi! Sihyeon is the only one who can bring my friends who have been dragged, Popi!"
