Chapter 86:Floating Sanctuary (1)

Mark.

The sign of the evil god that was inherited by the cursed bloodline.

For the forest fairies, it was a curse that weakened their connection to the spirit realm.

A fairy with a mark could not summon spirits, and therefore, could not properly handle them.

This was a fatal flaw in the society of fairies, which was mostly composed of spirit users.

But paradoxically, they had a natural affinity with spirits that was higher than other fairies.

Most of the fairies despised and shunned these heterogeneous beings, calling them Soily.

“Perin. Rendel wants you to fetch water.”

“Ah, okay…”

Perin was also one of the fairies who was born with a mark.

She had a mark on her left hand since birth, and because of that, she was rejected by all spirits.

The fairies around her also always scorned and discriminated against her.

Perin always showed a bright appearance because of her unique personality, but behind her, there was only a dark past.

Thud.

Perin looked at the water bottle rolling in front of her eyes.

It was the thing that the fairy who told her to fetch water had thrown at her.

Perin grabbed the water bottle that was rolling on the ground, and tried to approach the fairy who had thrown it at her.

“Hey, next time, please be a little kinder…”

“Don’t come near me!”

As Perrin approached the fairy with the water jug in her hand, the fairy backed away and stretched out her hand towards Perrin.

Perrin had to stop her steps when she saw the fairy quickly move away from her.

The fairy looked at the mark on the back of Perrin’s hand with a disgusted eye.

It was a look that said she couldn’t tolerate Perrin coming near her.

Not only that, but she also shouted at Perrin with a loud voice.

“Perrin! What if your filthy curse spreads to me!”

“The mark doesn’t spread…”

“Shut up! How do I know if something will happen! Just be quiet and get some water!”

With that, the fairy turned her back on Perrin and went back to the village.

For Perrin, who was born with the mark, this kind of treatment was familiar.

Perrin touched her golden hair with a gloomy expression, as she watched the fairy who despised her.

It was the golden hair that her mother had always told her was beautiful since she was born.

Although the one who used to stroke Perrin’s hair was no longer there, her hair was still Perrin’s pride.

Perrin, who was touching her hair, soon regained her spirits and looked around.

She could see the other fairies who were getting water and going back.

“If I don’t get water quickly, I might get scolded…”

Perrin started to walk briskly towards the lake with the water jug in her hand.

Most of the other fairies had already gotten water and were going back.

It seemed likely that Perrin would be the last one to go back even if she went to the lake now.

The fairy who gave Perrin the water jug had deliberately told her late.

It was the usual harassment towards Perrin.

But Perrin, who couldn’t handle spirits, had nowhere to go even if she left this place.

She had no choice but to endure the harassment and do the tasks that were given to her.

“I have to hurry…”

Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.

As she moved forward with light steps, Perrin saw something moving in the distance.

She lifted her head and ran towards the unknown thing, trying to figure out what it was.

Between the white clouds in the sky, there was a brown cloud that was moving.

She had seen dark clouds, but never a brown one.

It was a sight that Perrin had never encountered before in her life.

A huge curiosity rose in Perrin’s chest as she faced the brown cloud.

“There’s a brown cloud coming.”

The brown cloud seemed to be moving towards her, as it grew bigger and bigger.

It was a situation where she could observe the cloud properly from the direction of the lake that she was heading to.

Perrin’s steps became faster as she ran towards the lake.

Her nimble steps cut through the wind and crossed the forest in an instant.

Maybe it was because she moved faster than usual.

Perrin was able to reach the cliff where the lake was located in no time.

“Phew… I’m already late anyway, so it won’t hurt to take a quick look.”

Perrin left the water jug at the lake and went straight to the cliff.

A cool breeze brushed past Perrin’s cheek, along with a distant view.

In her sight, there was something coming from far away.

What she thought was a brown cloud was something that grew bigger and bigger as it approached her.

Perrin gasped involuntarily as she faced the identity of the cloud that appeared before her eyes.

“Wow…”

What flew towards the cliff where Perrin was, was an island floating in the sky.

The tiny island that came from afar lowered its altitude and approached where Perrin was.

Perrin could tell at a glance that it was a spirit, as she faced the island that came towards her.

The island that slowly started to descend soon came down right in front of Perrin.

Perrin’s eyes sparkled as she saw the island flying at arm’s length.

The tiny island stopped at the edge of the cliff and slowly rotated.

“Hey, there… Hello!”

-“Sob. Sob.”

Gulp.

Perrin swallowed her saliva and waved her hand at the spirit, and the spirit’s voice reached her ears.

The spirit’s voice was something that even a fairy’s ears couldn’t understand.

But the ability she had to resonate with spirits told her exactly what the spirit was thinking.

The spirit in front of Perrin was sad right now.

It had lost its long-time friend who took care of it, and it was hurt in its heart.

That’s why it was flying around here and there, trying to ease its sorrow.

“You must be very sad that your precious person left. I understand how you feel.”

Perrin reached out her hand and gently stroked the soil in front of her.

The spirit’s emotion flowed into her through the air as she touched it.

She smiled brightly at the small tremor that came from her fingertips.

The spirit was happy to receive Perrin’s stroke.

It was the first time that Perrin met a spirit that didn’t reject her touch.

Perrin carefully stroked the spirit, making sure it wasn’t uncomfortable, and continued to talk to it.

“I’ll comfort you well. Don’t be too sad!”

-“Sob.”

It felt like she was an old friend, even though she had just met the spirit.

Perrin thought that this was why fairies made contracts with spirits.

The fairies who carried spirits with them always cherished them and had a good time.

Perrin hugged the spirit that welcomed her and brought her ear to the lump of soil.

She wished that this time would last forever.

Perrin also had a desire to be with a spirit, even though she didn’t show it normally.

“What’s your name, spirit?”

-“Sob. Sob. Sob.”

“I see! How about ‘Yuto’?”

-“Sob.”

“I’m glad you like it!”

Perrin happily gave the spirit a name.

The name she gave to the spirit was ‘Yuto’.

She chose the name that was closest to the identity that the spirit told her.

The spirit that received the name shook its body, as if it was happy.

In the process, some soil splashed on Perrin, but she didn’t mind and kept stroking Yuto.

Yuto, who received Perrin’s touch, soon rubbed his cheek and started a conversation.

-“Sob. Sob. Sob. Sob.”

“Are you saying I can ride on top of you?”

-“Soil.”

That was what Yuto, the spirit who had just received a name, said to Perrin.

He offered to let her ride on him.

She had seen many spirits who could fly in the sky, but there were not many who were as big as him.

How wonderful would it feel to fly in the sky on such a large spirit?

A floating island and Perrin standing on it.

It was a story that she would only see in fairy tales, unfolding before her eyes.

Perrin nodded her head vigorously at the spirit’s words and cheered.

“Sure!”

    • “Soil.”

As soon as Yuto said he would let her fly in the sky, Perrin climbed on top of him.

When she stepped on the floating island, Yuto’s soft Soil floor welcomed her.

Yuto quickly increased his altitude and began to fly high in the air with Perrin on his back.

Perrin had to work hard to keep her balance on Yuto’s flying body so that she wouldn’t fall off.

The flight with Yuto that started like that ended only when the sun set.

For her, who had become friends with a spirit for the first time, the matter of floating on water was already long forgotten.

-“Yuto! Run faster!”

-“Soil.”

I smirked as I looked at the smartphone screen.

On the screen that was tracking [Floating Soil]’s movements.

[Floating Soil] was flying happily in the sky with a fairy on his back.

The fairy on top of [Floating Soil] was excitedly guiding him to change directions here and there.

Apparently, she had given him the name Yuto.

Of course, it didn’t matter much to me whether his name was ‘Yuto’ or ‘Floating Soil Yuto’.

What mattered was the fact that the fairy in front of me was moving [Floating Soil] at her will.

“Do you like it when you carry a fairy? You didn’t carry Evan even though he fed you.”

He looked very different from when Evan was feeding him.

He only spun around and splashed Soil when he was with Evan, but now he was flying with a person on his back.

No, should I call her a fairy instead of a person?

Anyway, it was a very absurd sight for me.

Maybe it was because he was a spirit, but he had a very fussy personality.

Maybe I should have given him the title of spirit master from the beginning.

As I watched Yuto speeding through the air, I couldn’t help but think about how to deal with him in the future.

“Looking at the situation, he doesn’t seem to be leaving without a reason.”

From what I could see, Yuto was following that fairy well.

And the fairy also had some kind of daily routine as an NPC.

NPCs with fixed schedules tended to return to their original places after some time.

When the flight with Yuto ended, that fairy NPC would also likely move Yuto to go back home.

But looking at his attitude now, it seemed like he would come back soon even if they parted today.

As long as I knew where that fairy was, I could easily find [Floating Soil]’s location again.

“Maybe it’s better to leave him alone for a few days since he’s not properly managed?”

It was a game that didn’t have a proper marking system anyway.

As long as I could check his location, it wouldn’t be bad to leave him alone for a while.

The spirit itself was not a kind that could communicate or control.

If I had enough karma, I could also make the fairy a follower and control Yuto.

A flying island was like a dream for anyone.

If there was a way to control it, I had to consider both options.

“It’s annoying to watch… I’ll have to check the nearby village and go.”

I decided and moved the screen to check the village where the fairies were.

There were not many fairies in the village that existed between the forests.

It was not a bad size for hunting, but there was no merit to clean it up right now.

After I decided on the disposal of the follower, it wouldn’t be bad to send someone to take care of the fairies.

Click.

I zoomed out the map screen and took a screenshot.

After confirming the location of the village where the fairies were, I started to move the screen again.

It was to find Eutenia and Evan who were moving according to my command.

Maybe it was because some time had passed since I gave them the order.

As I moved the screen, I could see the two who were moving after receiving my command.

Evan, who wore a hood and carried a heavy load, and Eutenia were moving somewhere together.

But it was very different from how Eutenia usually moved.

Eutenia and Evan were not riding a carriage for their movement.

-“This is my first time riding something like this… but it doesn’t feel bad at all.”

-“Alpha is a wonderful boy.”

They were moving on a dark beast.

Eutenia was sitting on Alpha’s head, reading a book and relaxing.

Evan, who was standing a little farther away, was looking around and enjoying the wind.

Maybe he was wary of the eyes of other characters.

Eutenia avoided the roads where people walked, and moved on a rugged mountain path instead.

As a result, countless trees on the mountain were colliding with Alpha’s body and barrier and getting destroyed.

-“Seeing this magic… I wish I had learned some magic too.”

Alpha, who had a barrier on him, was plowing through the rough terrain like a bulldozer.

Eutenia seemed to reinforce the barrier whenever it cracked, so there was no problem with the barrier breaking.

Instead, the forest that was caught up in their sprint was changing horribly.

There were also beasts that were lying on the ground, crushed by Alpha’s size, in the trail that Alpha passed.

As I watched Alpha’s charging figure, I had to make a blank face again, just like before.

“Was this possible to use it like this?”

An island that carried a fairy and flew like a fighter jet in the sky.

And a shadow dragon that cut across the land like a bulldozer.

They looked very different from when I first drew them.

I scratched the back of my head and looked at the screen.

Should I be happy or regretful?

I didn’t know which reaction to show.
