That’s why I am giving it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lefratio spoke as if stating the obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was not the end of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairy folk, whom he had assumed were busy preparing for their migration, had, in fact, been preparing gifts for their idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You gave himPenna? You swore you’d die with that sword in your hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lefratio handed over the sword, a dryad entered the area, her presence filled with warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She moved lightly, barely brushing the ground with her steps, as if she weighed nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her, Enkrid was reminded of leaves fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same dryad he had seen in the clearing before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled brightly, her green gemstone-like eyes shining—not just her irises, but her entire gaze radiated a brilliant green, an otherworldly beauty distinct from Shinar’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t die, so I don’t need to die with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lefratio replied as she approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected to perish, swallowed by demons and the labyrinth, but he had survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contrary to the dryad’s words, Lefratio showed no sign of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, he seemed pleased that Enkrid had accepted the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have something for you as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dryad added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinar had once told him that among the fairy folk, dryads had a stronger concept of ’we’ rather than ’I.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairies that scattered dust like thefaewere similar, while thewoodguardand other fairies leaned more toward individualism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was simply how fairy society functioned—not something he needed to understand in depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dryad took Enkrid’s hand and pulled him along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luagarne, following behind, puffed up her cheeks with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your demonic charm is shining again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget charming women—you’re becoming a rumored bride kidnapper now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Fel’s remark, Enkrid turned to look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shepherd met his gaze squarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his heightened insight, Enkrid gauged the truth behind Fel’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed Fel’s eyes darting slightly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few overlapping clues in his mind formed a connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rumor about him being a ’bride kidnapper’—it was Fel who had been spreading it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop spreading weird rumors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid stated firmly, his voice carrying conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps even a touch ofWill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...How did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fel didn’t even bother denying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he had any particular reason for spreading the rumor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shepherds, by nature, enjoyed deceiving and toying with people through tales and fabrications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a reason why the fable of the shepherd boy who cried wolf existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until now, he had simply lacked the opportunity and the audience to indulge in such behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t intentional malice—just amusement at how easily the fairies fell for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re too easy to read.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid, watching Fel, found himself formulating a new idea—something separate from his recent knightly revelations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t ready to put it into words just yet, but a thread of thought had formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you read my intentions, if you can’t stop me, it doesn’t matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fel said provocatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prove it in a duel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid replied before following the dryad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crossed several small paths before arriving at a stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brook flowing through the city—an unusual sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the stream lay a lush area, its leaves abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite it being winter, the air was warm, and butterflies and bees flitted about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is something to wear under your armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dryad gestured, and two smaller dryads—each a head shorter than her—brought forward a large leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they unfolded it, their gift was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dryads wove thread from special trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thread was then soaked in woodguard sap for days, then dried under the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repeating this process over years created a single spool of thread—what people calledfairy thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what they had brought was a garment made from that very thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Specifically, an underlayer—a vest-like inner armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Krais would lose his mind if he saw this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something no amount of gold coins could easily buy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving in haste would only lead to trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of plan could quell all this resistance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he might know the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this Shinar’s scheme?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps it was Ermen’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid had received countless gifts and had become an idol to the fairies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even sculpted his statue from stone, and children carried small versions as talismans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a trend, albeit a temporary one, but for the fairy clan, this was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They need someone to rely on, but not just anyone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed a trustworthy figure, someone they could lean on without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By turning that person into an idol, they could suppress any dissatisfaction that might arise within their ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a way to preemptively quell resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans kindle fire and use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frogs merely watch as the flames rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giants battle against fire, while dwarves temper metal within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beastkin avoid fire, and dragonkin disregard it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fairies?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They douse the flames with water before they can even ignite.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a proverb about how different races responded to crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fairies were always prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was how they had survived by avoiding the demonic realm for so long—not by relying solely on their innate energy, but by mastering the art of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time was no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Enkrid had designated their relocation site, even if he hadn’t, the fairy clan would have sought his approval regardless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an intricate and well-crafted lure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fairies never spoke falsehoods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they chose silence, withholding both lies and truths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because of his recent musings, but he felt as if this revelation aligned with something he had grasped himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he had any immediate epiphanies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides, it wasn’t something to criticize but rather to commend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid believed he now understood what Ermen desired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal wasn’t the prosperity of his people, but their survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that sense, he was a true fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning with various gifts, Enkrid found Ermen waiting outside his quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The preparations for the relocation are almost complete. Will you come with us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it’s best if I go first and you follow after. If people see trees walking, they might mistake them for monsters and panic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ermen had previously explained the process of relocating a fairy city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid understood it well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was vastly different from human migrations, where carts carried pots and household goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, humans might get scared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid almost replied that some wouldn’t just be scared—they’d immediately attack—but he held his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t an important point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he looked at Ermen’s composed demeanor and asked directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who came up with the idea to idolize me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the abruptness of the question, Ermen responded without a hint of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought of it, and Shinar pushed for it enthusiastically.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid realized Ermen was more cunning than he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, Ermen understood that this man wasn’t just skilled with a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That knowledge reassured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was better for their people to rely on someone like Enkrid rather than some wild axe-wielding maniac or some crazy praying bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Shinar, such people existed in Border Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even those who, after getting lost, ended up cutting down enemy knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mindset incomprehensible to fairies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, even humans found the actions of such deranged knights baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But coexistence didn’t require understanding—only acceptance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ermen, as a fairy, had merely come to terms with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relocation would take months, but a few would leave first to minimize risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s safer to move in stages rather than all at once.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might be monsters along the way, but given what he had seen of the fairies’ combat abilities, they wouldn’t pose a serious threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What will really surprise people is the sight of their migration.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, before the relocation fully began, Enkrid departed from the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fiancé, why are you leaving without even trying to make a child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinar’s farewell was certainly striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does saying that amuse you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinar, ever affectionate toward her savior, nodded with boundless warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he prepared to leave, the entire fairy clan set aside their tasks to see him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some handed him letters, while others gifted him carefully prepared fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you flirt with my fiancé?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinar scolded in a flat, expressionless tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, she wasn’t truly angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gathered fairies didn’t even twitch their ears in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The final victor is the one who claims him in the end, Kiraheis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One fairy boldly issued a challenge, though it was, of course, a fairy-style joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enkrid listened for a moment before giving up on understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinar would join the next migration, so for now, they parted ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Luagarne and Fel, Zero accompanied them as their guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skills had improved remarkably in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particularly, his ability to channel emotions into battle surpassed that of any other fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than losing focus during moments of emotional turmoil, he harnessed those emotions as a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A feat easier said than done—only a rare talent could embody it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Enkrid had played a role in his growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they walked, Enkrid shared his insights with Luagarne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, it might have seemed like idle conversation during a long journey, but that wasn’t the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luagarne nodded before speaking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have a request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This frog had sharp intuition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.
