Chapter 307 Astral Realm (3)
[< H-how do you know fairy tongue, b-boy? >]
[< "I learned it, of course. How else? Hehe." >]
She was cute, and her expression right now was even cuter than that.
I definitely told the truth but, her face was as if she had heard someone say something absurd that doesn\'t even make sense.
[< Aren\'t you young? How can a young one learn this difficult language?! Even I have barely learned how to write it, even though it is my own kind\'s language! >]
[< "Oh? I can teach you if you want. It was definitely difficult. But nothing compared to runs, right?" >]
[< Definitely... that thing is a bouncer- wait! Do you also know runs?! The real ones?! How?!! >]
[< "Hehe. I had an awesome teacher~!" >]
[< But how can having an awesome teacher define this!? How can you learn those things when you are so young?! If it were this beautiful girl with you, I would understand but, you? How?! And... you... \'had\' an awesome teacher? >]
I smiled with a helpless smile and a small sigh and the fairy fell silent and closed her eyes to offer her prayers to nature.
She is definitely cute... and so is this friend of mine who is just moving her head, seeing the fairy who is just praying with her eyes closed and me with a sudden helpless face.
[[ "What... is wrong Eon?" ]]
[[ "She was asking how I knew her language. I said I \'had\' an awesome master. She couldn\'t believe it and said it would be different if \'the beautiful girl beside me\' was saying this instead of the young me.
Then she realized something and went silent, praying to offer her prayers to mother nature." ]]
[[ "The beautiful girl...?" ]]
She blinked her eyes a few times, looking between the fairy and me while questioning where this beauty come from.
I looked fantastic, even more in this Astral form. This fairy looked cute, even more, while praying with her eyes closed. \'So how was she the beautiful one?\' was the question in her eyes.
[[ "You look spectacular if you don\'t know. Even more than normal. Your charm is enough to charm even me right now so this fairy is nothing much." ]]
And as I knew, my words surprised her.
Well, it was natural when it\'s your first time in this realm but, one can\'t hide their true self here.
They would appear as their true self, the one that is actually them.
Rein, with her physical body gone, had such celestial charm and allure that even the night would bow before her.
Rein looked just as frekin hot as a delicious piece of meat that one can\'t resist.
But that wasn\'t important right now. I already knew just how amazing she was so looks and charm didn\'t matter much.
Well, she was surprised but she calmed down and a sudden sad look appeared in her fully pink eyes.
She looked at me with a sorry expression and I just shook my head.
As she said a while back, the past is something that has already happened. So, there\'s no meaning to morn over it anymore.
So, I just shook my head and smiled warmly at her. And, at that, the fairy also opened her eyes.
The prayer offering of fairies is special and they don\'t usually do that for people they have just met so, it was even more amazing to think just how much she knew my grandpa.
She opened her silver eyes, her pink hair glowing as usual, and she looked back at me.
[< Your master must be someone like those coooooool big divine beasts to teach such young boy something like this.
And you are even more amazing to learn such a difficult language and have this \'special strength\' to already be able to not only separate the soul from your own body but also help someone else do it.
I can think how great the burden this might be and it just shows how important this person is to you.
The two of you are like Havi and Griz. Lovely~! >]
She chuckled happily and Rein smiled happily while looking at her laughing self.
This spirit was cute, and seeing both of them smile happily was also refreshing.
She also compared us two with my grandparents. And I knew she was talking about the special connection and bond.
She was a fairy of love, someone who knew the meaning of love and also what true love was and felt like.
Maybe she could feel it but I believed we were still not at the level of our grandparents.
Maybe our bond was but we had little to no experience together.
We were just starting so, we would be like them when we have lived at least a decade with each other.
But, well, maintaining this state with her for much longer wasn\'t possible after what things I have done in the last two days.
I was already weakened, the reason I didn\'t go after the black mages immediately.
And maintaining this state for more than a few minutes in normal time wasn\'t possible.
But, thankfully, time flowed differently in the Astral realm than normal. And it was another reason I was able to read more books from our special tower library than anticipated.
We can talk for more if this fairy wanted and I knew that as their nature was, this one too would just love talking for a long time.
We had that time here, so, at the start of our conversation with this fairy who was probably close with my grandparents, I asked with a genuine voice.
[< "So? Can I know your name, pretty fairy?" >]
[< Oh! Right! We forger the introduction. Hello~. My name is Astilbe. It is very nice to meet you, amazing children ~! >]
[< "Pleasure is all ours~. To think we would meet an awesome fairy like you here.
My name is Axion. This here is my dear friend Reinelle." >]
I introduced ourselves and this was genuinely my first time meeting a fairy even though I have met many high-grade spirits.
Fairies were special species and I had never tried it like this but, right now, was the best opportunity.
And we had a good person with us too, so, it was even better.
\'Three eyes.\'
