The Strongest Fairy Chapter 129 (Patreon)

Arena and Aidle

"Aidle~, it's morning!"

"Hello? mmm, good morning.

"Yeah, good morning!"

It had been a little over a week since we had returned to Ladaria, almost two weeks since Aidle had become a fairy princess. By noon today, she would be back to 'the original Aidle'.

Lately, Arena had been happily taking care of her in this state for a long time. Since Aidle is a fairy and a little girl, she does not feel 'lonely' when Arena becomes a fairy. Also, it is much more fun to play with her now that she is a 'fairy little girl'. Specifically, we can now play a board game and have a back-and-forth battle.

She loved her regular idle, but she has grown to love this idle as well. However, since they were the same individual, we didn't confuse them, we saw them as an aspect of her, so we didn't think that disappearing was 'goodbye'.

"Nn~... (pon)"

"Oh~?"

"Good morning Aidle, what do you want to do today?"

"I'm with Arena."

But her heart reacts differently to the fact that it might be her last. So she used the "S.A.T" mode. To leave no regrets.

"Okay, then, let's go on with our day~♪"

"Oh!"

"You're so energetic this morning, aren't you... fuah~~"

Arena walks aimlessly around Ladaria with Aidle on her shoulders.

La Veil and Quad went to defeat some monsters and helped him raise his rank. In the meantime, Arena and her friends would go to the orphanage, the spa town, or to meet various people.

Sometimes they would invite La Veil to join them and try to make some money by holding guerrilla live performances on a special stage.

Sometimes they held board game tournaments and had serious thought games with Aidle.

I also participated in a performance by the Young Bestmen Group, a group of juvenile beasts, and many other things.

But once that was over, he would climb the trees that covered the Ladaria and play a leisurely game of chess while basking in the sun.

Such a leisurely time was irreplaceable for both of them.

"Okay, tocha~ku!"

"Okay, tochakku!"

And so today, too, the game begins with a game while licking a candy ball.

The board and pieces used by Arena and his partner were jointly made by the two of them. The board has legs, and the surface is well processed, with the best grain and color and luster. The wood used is from trees that used to grow near the World Tree and is quite sturdy. The piece stand and the piece box were made with this wood.

Since it was made in the early stages of the project, it would be possible to make a better one now, but since this is a memento that connects the two of them, he has no desire to do so.

The pieces, on the other hand, were also amazing. The pieces were not letters, but were carved to represent each person.

For example, a king would be a man wearing a robe and crown, an infantryman would be a soldier with a sword and spear, and a flying car would be a Chinese dragon.

Since the pieces cannot be turned inside out, they are made to be used in the event that they are used to make a piece. The piece box became a rather luxurious box, though, thanks to this.

...crackle...crackle...

During the game, they do not talk at all. However, when they looked at each other from time to time, they smiled at each other, and the game was played in a very relaxed atmosphere. It felt good to talk to each other like this, regardless of whether they were winning or losing. The two of them are not using "tuning" or "multiple thoughts" right now, even though they are in a completely bare-bones state.

...crackle...crackle... "Ah!"

A decisive move was made in one of the games, and a voice was heard at the same time. Arena looked at the board carefully and scratched her cheek, making a face as if to say, "Oh no!

Is there any? I lost.

"Nnn~~katta~~♪"

And when the game was over, they hugged each other and laughed.

Then, after the game was over for the second or third time, Aidle suddenly stood up and sat down on Arena's lap.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Aidle...?

Are you lonely?"

"Umm...well, yeah."

Although Aidle did not activate "Fairy Eyes Kai," he still somehow understood what Arena was thinking. She is using the "S.A.T." mode, which usually only happens in an emergency, every time her cool time runs out these days.

There was something wrong with her, and Aidle knew intuitively that she was the cause of it.

This. It was similar to that time.

"If I go back...ya?"

"No, I don't mind...I just fell in love with 'you' too. I guess it's because I've been seeing Aidle, the fairy, and Aidle, the human. I guess I feel like I love more people."

Arena taps her forehead against Aidle's as he turns to look at her.

"I felt like I was being selfish. I didn't want to leave 'you'...I guess that's why 'I' became 'me' with limited growth." I think that's why "I" became "me" with limited growth, even though it's different for Aidle. I have my memories, too, so I'm sure Aidle's memories will be the same when she comes back, right?"

"I wonder...? I'm happy if that's the case.

"Yes, I'm happy too...I love you, Aidle."

"I love you too, Arena."

In the passing time, the two of them looked at the clear blue sky and waited for the moment to come...

***

"I'm home, Arena..."

...Welcome back, Aidle..."

...Huh.

"Wake up, what's wrong?"

"No, I'm just feeling self-loathing because you were so precious, like an angel changing jobs to a goddess."

"You've been saying weird things since the beginning, Aidle."

No, I remembered. Arena was right. I had the whole thing in my head. Even when the "I" is gone, the "I" is still there, so it's still there. I was relieved, but I was dying from the embarrassment of what I had done, and the speed at which Arena and I, the little fairy girl, had become friends... I never thought I would be jealous of myself one day.

"Not at all, I'm going to give Arena a lot of love and beat her up when she gets back, okay?"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it... but more importantly, are your 'demonization' skills up to snuff?"

"Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Let's take a look."

Demonization

Destroys reason, and is trapped in the urge to destroy and slaughter, with a status multiplier of x1000. Currently, sealed and unavailable.

"...sealed," he said.

"Oh, thank goodness."

The "Fairy Magic Kai" had no problem with the skill being in a sealed state. It was hard to predict what would happen if I demonized her with a fairy body. Even a brave man could do it, so it would be a terrible thing if I were to do it.

It would be like "Devil Aidle-chan Mode"...No, I would just have Arena dress up as a little devil. Calm down, me. Don't imagine it. I shouldn't, but…

"Arena, try acting like a little devil."

"I don't know what you mean~~"

"Abububu"

Yes, he played with my cheeks. I'm sorry. Oh, Quad came from the sky.

"Miss Arena...oh, Miss Aidle is back, it's been two weeks."

"Yes, thank you, what happened to Quad? I thought you and La Veil went to kill some monsters.

"Yes, but I heard that Forna was looking for you two, so I was looking for you with La Veil.

"I see, I'll call La Veil."

It's been a while since we've been in sync.

[La Veil?]

[Nn? Oh, oh! You're back, master!]

[It's been a while. Thanks for pulling us all together for a while. I appreciate it.]

[Oh, no problem. Hey, Quad went that way, didn't he? Forna wants to see you. She's waiting for you at the castle.]

[Okay, I'll be right there. I'll be right there.]

[Yes, sir!]

He looked happy rather than surprised. I was also somewhat happy and embarrassed. No, but she seemed to be having fun with me, a little girl. Maybe she was depressed because she didn't have any motivation.

No matter, I'm going to have to give her a lot of tsukkomi again.

"Okay, let's go, Arena, Quad."

"Un!"

"Yes."

I've had enough rest. Now, I'm going to work hard again for my friends.

"We're best friends who love each other.

"You're best friends who can't stop loving each other."

(...to my eyes, they look like a married couple...well, that's what fairies are like...)
