At the 12th F, suddenly, an object appeared, flying towards him. He was about to attack but he put his sword down immediately.
“Hey, it’s a fairy.”
What jumped at him was one of the ⌈Fairies⌋ that lived in the hidden door on the 12thF. The ⌈Fairy⌋ sneaked into his headgear and rested there.
“I’m busy right now and it’s going to get dangerous soon.”
However the ⌈Fairy⌋ only tilted her head. Yu tryed to grab her and take her out but it only looked at him with a smile, thinking he wanted to play with her.
“Hey, it’s the cheeky boy from yesterday!”
“What are you going to do to that child?”
“Oh, it’s that boy!”
And out of nowhere a swarm of ⌈Fairies⌋ blocked his way. Yu had a blatantly unpleasant look but the ⌈Fairies⌋ didn’t seem to care.
“He probably came to see us again.”
“Yo, did you bring sweets?”
“I’m here too.”
After that he was forcibly dragged to the hidden room and all the other ⌈Fairies⌋ surrounded him. The ⌈Dryad⌋ welcomed him with a hand shake and a big smile.
“You are here again, I’m happy.”
“Actually I have another thing planed.”
“Are you going to leave again? So soon.”
Yu after that took out various jars filled with jam and honey from his item pouch. All the ⌈Fairies⌋ immediately rushed to him. In the blink of an eye, the jam and honey were devoured.
“Was it good?”
He was asking the small ⌈Fairy⌋ on top of his head but it only tilted her head. The ⌈Dryad⌋ laughed and looked at him.
“I’m sorry but that small child seems to like you.”
“It’s alright, but you should tell her to be more careful. If you become careless and a human with bad intentions comes to catch it, it will be bad.”
“Ah, yes.”
A ⌈Fairy⌋ could be sold for at least 10 gold coins. It was unexpectedly famous as decoration among aristocrats. ⌈Drayds⌋ were protected creatures but that only made the price rise. It was around 100 white gold coins. The beauty, charm and fortune made adventurers forget about the laws and everything else. There were a large amount of people who tried to find the ⌈Dryads⌋ and sell them.
“Speaking of that, I’m a human too.”
“Well, if a human tries to catch us, it’s only a walk in the park with my magic.”
“Eh, why are my eyes watery?”
“Don’t worry, we’re able to protect ourselves.”
Yu sold the information to the guild, but kept the ⌈Fairies⌋ out of it. By selling the map data he could protect them since no one would need to explore the map.

Mofisu was drinking in the guild master room.
“Master, what are you thinking about?”
Edda asked while pouring liquor in the empty glass.
“It’s about the dungeon. Actually the finance minister is preparing a group to enter it for the first time.”
“But, even with horse drawn carriage it would take them two days to arrive.”
“Well, let’s just give them some of the dungeon’s information and say it was from the surveying group.”
(Tl note: it seems like the purpose of Yu group actually isn’t to venture deep and survey the dungeon but of course they entered too far)
“Yeah, but if the finance minister found out about it, it won’t be good.”
Mofisu nodded and downed the liquor in his glass.
“Speaking of which, there is a report saying that some people had seen a witch riding a broom, flying in the sky, like in the fairy tale.”
“Guild master, is that report true?”
“I’m not sure either… Oh!… my head, On my head… there are hair roots!”
That day, the Guild master forgott about all of his problems and walked out of the room while crying.
