Chapter 328: That time I become a drug dealer for fairies in another world

How absurd.

Never in my wildest imagination had I pictured a fairy eating a candy, much less a whole group. The meadow was filled with the swirling elemental bursts, that instead of clashing, were tangling with each other. Still chaotic, but also fun, like fireworks.

Along with these elemental bursts was a buzzing sound like all kinds of bugs yelling and laughing at the same time. They ate the candy silently, staying still in the air, but afterward...when the sugar got fully digested in their system, they immediately swooshed around like balloons losing gas.

"I guess no one ever gave them candies?" I whispered.

"Not that I recall," Amarein, who had moved from the bridge, had the corner of her lips twitched in amusement. "Truly fascinating."

"Do you think they’ll agree to it?"

"As long as you give them candy, perhaps?"

I pondered for a bit before peeking inside my storage ring. Jade’s giving spree had consumed three jars of candy we just bought from Sarteriel, and although I thought we bought too much, I found myself lacking right now.

Hmm...would it be alright if I use the candy from the demon realm instead?

"The candy you brought from the demon realm," Natha suddenly said, as if he could read my thoughts--well, he could, technically. "You should only use it for a ’special’ reward. It contains more sugar, and has more flavors. You should save it for when they start to act naughty."

I gasped and leaned closer to him. "You mean, using it as a stick and carrot thingy?"

Natha nodded with a smirk, but Amarein tilted her head in confusion. "What stick? What carrot?"

I grinned and shook my head, just as Jade ran back to me with a half-empty jar being chased by the fairies. "Master! Master!"

"You did it Jade," I patted the green hair carefully, because there was a small fairy holding onto the edge of the colorful streaks.

"Master! They said they won’t kidnap Jade!"

"That’s...good," I laughed awkwardly at the bright green eyes.

"They say they’ll do what Jade said if Jade give them candy again," he continued. "But Jade said candy belong to Master, so they have to do what Master say, like Jade!"

"Oh my..."

The moment Jade latched onto me again--The fairies turned toward me, swirling and circling around, grabbing the end of my hair and my clothes, almost tugging on them. Thankfully, they were so light that it didn’t feel like anything, really. But Jade stomped on the ground and pursed his lips.

"Stop that! Don’t be naughty! Don’t pull on Master!" he clenched his tiny fist and pulled the jar of candy close to his chest. "Or Jade won’t give you candy anymore!"

The fairies buzzed and shrieked for a few seconds, before finally quieting down and hovering away from me. What a good move, Jade--Natha had been scarily cold earlier.

I turned to Amarein and asked her if she could convey what we were here to do, and as she did that, I turned toward Natha and asked him to secretly break the demon realm candy that I brought into tiny pieces--smaller than the one Jade gave to the fairies.

"They agree to look for the points that have all converging mana, but..."

"They want more candy?"

Amarein chuckled, obviously still feeling amused about the whole situation. Perhaps they had never thought about approaching this through the eyes of a child, because...why would they involve children in the matter with spirits? They kept the children away from the naughty creatures in fear of kidnapping.

But well...perhaps luck was the extra stat I gained in this world after all the suffering on Earth, because I felt I had been very lucky ever since I transmigrated here. I certainly wouldn’t mind keeping this luck.

I took the smaller jar containing the demon realm candy then. Natha had broken them into small granules, each one no bigger than the size of a grain. I slid the lid slightly, just so the sweeter scent could emanate--kind of like a spoiler.

The restrained buzzing sound felt like a series of gasps, and all of the fairies’ attention was on me. It might be my imagination, but it almost felt like they were vibrating. Holding back my smile, I told Jade to instruct them to line up, and for the next few minutes, I spent my time giving each fairy--twenty-nine of them--the sweeter, more flavorful piece of candy.

At first, they looked at the piece of candy with disappointment. Even the one with no face looked appalled. But once they digested the small piece of candy, they were buzzing even louder than before, dashing around the meadow like little colorful rockets.

Cute.

Jade laughed and clapped because some of the fairies were crashing into each other, creating mini fireworks everywhere. Those who had finished digesting the candy came to me, vibrating widely. But they also kept their respective distance, as if they were afraid the mighty little boy would prevent them from having candy ever again.

Once they all stopped buzzing around and rallied around me, I looked at them with a smile and raised the candy jar. "Whoever finds it the quickest will receive additional candy."

Amarein translated what I said and before I even had time to blink, they already disappeared, leaving us with a flurry of petals and whirlwinds in their wake.

"Huh..."

"How fast," Amarein chuckled while Natha patted my head, his face brimming with pride.

* * *

"Are you really going to leave after finding the place?" Tiralein held my hand tightly, rendered me useless in the packing process, and let Natha do all the work upstairs.

We had no idea how fast the fairies would find the converging points, but with the promised incentive of the sweet crystal, I predicted it would only take them a few hours--half a day top. So we decided to pack our bags and be ready to move anytime, because the plan was to get back to the post right after we checked on the place.

Predictably, when we conveyed this to the Chief, they were protesting heavily. But Amarein shut them up, although Tiralein still followed me to Amarein’s house and constantly asked me to rethink my decision.

Ah...I had always been awkward at goodbyes. I had no idea what to say to make it less selfish. "We’ve been away for too long, and there’s still the journey back," I said with a smile, which I hope was amiable enough.

Tiralein sighed in defeat after my third refusal to stay longer. "Will you visit again?" she asked, before adding swiftly. "Aside from going to that place you’re looking for."

"I want to," I nodded sincerely. "I still want to visit the underground city and the other tribes, it’s just..." I let out a sigh and looked at her wryly, "coming here is rather...complicated."

There was no portal between the demon realm and the realm of nature, and even if Vrida could get me to the post without any guide, we still needed to go through the Great Forest.

"Oh...I guess," Tiralein nodded in agreement--and also sadness. The palace of the Druid Kingdom used to be the pivotal place where people who would like to contact the druid could go, without the need to traverse the many forests and hills and meadows. But now, it was gone, and the tribes retreated even deeper into the forest, isolating themselves with the barrier.

I looked out through the open patio door, at the bright sky above the Great Tree Alzeriya, and the cliff adorned with sparkling waterfall and climbing flowers. It seemed like a good place for wyvern to land. "If only I could come straight through the sky," I muttered. "I think it’ll only take a whole day and night if Vrida goes at her fastest speed--a bit more if we consider the rest time."

I could inject a reinvigoration spell onto her, but forcing her to fly for more than twenty-four hours would seem like a violation of magical creature rights.

"Vrida?" Tiralein tilted her head in intrigue.

"Vrida!" Jade was the one who responded with vigor. "Pretty wyvern!"

"A wyvern!" Tiralein widened her eyes and shifted her gaze to the sky outside too. "The sky..."

"Chief, can we give Young Master the token?" Halurean, who was in the middle of a late breakfast, asked from the dining table.

"Ah..."

"Token?" I turned to look at him, and he proceeded to show me a wooden bracelet on his left wrist.

"It’s this, Young Master," he pulled his sleeve away so I could see the cuff adorned with a simple green mana stone. "This is the one used by guides, so we can always find our way through the barrier."

Oh, I knew it! I knew there must be some reason why the guide could go past the illusion barrier. So it wasn’t just because he was a druid who knew the forest well.

"Yes. It takes more than the token to go through the forest, but If Valen has a token, he can come through the sky by himself," Amarein confirmed with a smile.

I looked at her with an increasing heartbeat. "Can I?"

"Yes!" the one who replied was Tiralein, who was grabbing my hand again. "Yes--of course, you can, my dear," she said quickly, before turning her head toward the dining table. "Halurean, can you go fetch it from Neidaren?"

"Yes, Chief," the druid shoved the last of his breakfast before hurriedly going out.

"Oh, this is nice. Is it possible to call Vrida directly here?" I asked excitedly.

Amarein shook her head. "Unfortunately no, since she doesn’t have the token."

"Oh, right..."

"Still, if you come here with her next time, she will be able to remember the place," she gave me a sweet smile. "So you can come here directly even without a guide."

Now, that was excellent. If I didn’t have to make so many stops, coming here wouldn’t feel like a chore anymore. I could even do it with just my companions, without having to disturb Natha in the middle of his schedule.

"Oh, I wish you stay here longer," Tiralein, however, still persistently said.

Now in a better mood, I could laugh more naturally. "I’ll do it next time, also..." I lowered my voice to a whisper. "I have a wedding to prepare."
