What kind of a reward is this?"
As I muttered that, the Fairy Queen, an important NPC had answered.
"There's nothing in the Fairy Village I could give you as thanks. Therefore, the fairies accompanying you will take your request, and within the possible range they will fulfil three of your 【Wishes】."
Hearing that I confirmed the Rugged Iron Ring the Mischievous Fairy possessed.
Fairy-Possessed Iron Ring 【Ornament】
DEF+2 Additional Effect: 【Fairy Possession 3/3】
"Oh, an assisting item."
It seemed like the players who don't have an item without additional effects have had a randomly-generated item subjected to 【Fairy Possession】 instead.
Everyone took those items out and looked at them.
"Aha, my fairy turned into an accessory."
"Still, within possible range... what should I wish for, I wonder."
Myu and Lucato started discussing their wishes. Everyone else too, started consulting with each other.
"All right, I'll use it first!"
"Gantz! Don't rush it!"
"Come out, my fairy!"
Ignoring Kei's advice, Gantz raised a bracelet with 【Fairy Possession】 and called out the fairy from the inside.
"Yes yes. Right away, what would like me to do?"
"My wish is——I want the strongest reinforcement material for a weapon!"
Hearing this exaggerated wish all of us were shocked and unable to say anything. Even though it was said that it has to be a probable wish...
"What do you specifically mean by strongest〜?"
"Well, I guess something like a reinforcement material from a Dragon or a Giant!"
"There's no way a single fair is going to fulfil a wish like that, is there."
Saying so, the fairy refused to fulfil the wish.
"Eh, it's no good? T-then, umm, get me a slightly weaker reinforcement material!"
"No way that's happening. Hey, got any other wishes? If you don't, I'll be going back〜."
"Uh, um..."
"10, 9, 8..."
The fairy started a heartless countdown as Gantz panicked. And——
"I don't care what is it, please just get me some reinforcement material!"
"Yup. Time's out. See you."
Gantz didn't make it in time and the fairy returned to the bracelet.
"Hee, so that's how it works."
Wasting the effect of 【Fairy Possession】 with an unclear wish, the amount of wishes Gantz had remaining had dropped down to two. Dejected by that he fell down on all fours, everyone else instead of comforting him had calmly analysed the effect.
"Hmm. This means that it would be better to make a wish that can be easily fulfilled. We need to gather some samples in order to determine the range of possible wishes."
"Thanks to Gantz-san we'll carefully consider our wishes, that's great."
"Gantz, your sacrifice won't go for naught."
"At least try comforting me!"
Taku, Myu and Kei spoke in order causing Gantz to roar.
I smiled bitterly seeing everyone look at Gantz with lukewarm eyes as he acted like usual.
As the exchange had calmed down, the Fairy Queen NPC called out to us.
"Now then, it's about time we returned everyone to the human world. Thank you very much for help."
It seemed like time has come as the same light we've seen on the transition circles had began stretching out from under or feet.
Until the pillar of light was completed, the previously-hidden fairies have seen us off waving their hands.
If possible, I'd like to visit the Fairy Village once it turns beautiful again. As I thought so, we were transferred.
I thought that we would be transferred to the location of the Fairy Circle we used to get in, but the entire party was actually transferred in front of the First Town's portal.
"Now then, quest has been cleared, what next? Shall we gather people to confirm the 【Fairy Possession】's effect?"
"Here, an ideeaa! Let's eat something to celebrate!"
With the quest over, everyone started moving.
The 【Fairy Possession】 confirmation group centred around Taku.
The celebratory party group has centred around Myu.
And, other than that there was a group of people tired who were going to take a break.
"I'll be going back to the 【Atelier】 and log out."
"Ehh, come with us."
"I'm a bit tired."
I said so and pat Myu's head who schemed going around to eat sweets, then moved away from the group.
In the 【Atelier】 Kyouko-san the NPC had come out to greet me. Feeling like I've finally returned, I heaved a long sigh.
"Welcome back, Yun-san."
"I'm back, Kyouko-san. Did anything change in the store?"
"Same as usual, only the regulars have come to buy some potions. Also, I would suggest prioritizing the replenishment of High Potions."
"Got it. I'll confirm it later."
I'm tired, I thought, and in order to be healed by Ryui and Zakuro I called out the two animals.
"Kyuu〜"
"I'm tired. Ryui, Zakuro. Heal me a bit."
I leaned on Ryui, held Zakuro on my stomach and sat down on the floor behind the counter.
For a while, I felt Ryui's and Zakuro's warmth in silence, but the two seemed restless. When it started to seem to me that they're looking for something, Zakuro started licking my right hand.
"What is it? Is there something on it?"
I said so and when I started patting Zakuro, I noticed.
What Zakuro was bothered with, was the 【Fairy Possession】 ring rather than my hand.
"I see. Well, you were together the entire time recently. Yeah, the Mischievous Fairy is in here."
I raised the 【Fairy Possession】 ring as to make it visible, and both Ryui's and Zakuro's line of sight gathered on it. Zakuro touched it several times. From time to time he bit my finger lightly, but then tilted his head seeing the difference from the usual noisy Mischievous Fairy.
"I guess it does feel lonely once she disappears."
While she was here in the 【Atelier】 during the quest, I guess we have gotten used to the noisy Mischievous Fairy.
