Fairies had pure souls and are famous for their kindness to humans among other races.
They don’t lie, they never intentionally hurt anyone, and they don’t blame others even if they are killed.
That’s why their numbers were small. The body of this race was an excellent research specimen for wizards and scholars, and a good eye-catcher for luxuries.
Ornaments and paintings made by squeezing the wings of fairies. An aristocrat who has a winged fairy as his servant. A wizard who killed a child raised by a fairy in front of her eyes to test the power of fairy tears.
In the midst of all the abuse, the number of fairies gradually decreased, and soon became a rare race that was not commonly seen in Bazette’s world. It was a difficult existence to see unless the person was a high-ranking aristocrat or a wizard.
Such a fairy was now in front of Jin-hee. It wasn’t even a small fairy, but a fairy who had grown up to the level of a human child.
“…Was your sister a fairy?”
“Yes.”
Chung-ha said, still clenching his teeth.
Now I know why the Crows kidnapped his sister. In Bazette’s world, it was a rare species highly sought after by slave merchants. In a world where only humans existed, Min-ha must have been a treasure worth coveting on its own.
I can see why the Crows’ executive called Min-ha “that”. They thought Min-ha was not human.
“Is that why the gangsters were targeting the nursery school?”
“…There is a reason other than this. I will explain that to you after I rescue Min-ha.”
“….”
There was one more reason to save Chung-ha’s little sister. As soon as she found the fairy, Jin-hee’s eyes were more gloomy than curious. Seeing Min-ha’s appearance reminded her of her childhood.
A fairy who was her only friend and companion. The fairy’s figure glimpsed before my eyes.
“First of all, I’ll save Min-ha and run away in one go. I’ve thought of the fastest route to get away.”
“….”
“They’ll probably follow us right away. But I know the way up from here in prison. The emergency passageway I prepared is actually a sewer right in front of the guard at the entrance. We’ll be caught by the guards, but if we run right away….”
“….”
“…Noona?”
“Oh.”
Chung-ha shook Jin-hee up as she was thinking about something. She habitually put her hand on her eyes but soon realized that there was a mask and put her hand down. Chung-ha looked up worriedly at her lackluster movement.
“No, it’s okay. …You, run away.”
“What?”
“As I said from the beginning, I have business here.”
To be exact, she has one more business there. She has a good reason to mess with these guys now. It’s not as simple as before. There was an obvious irritation in her.
“You’re alone! It’s dangerous!”
“That’s enough. I think I’ll be even angrier if you get caught on the way so just take care of your sister.”
At Jin-hee’s serious tone, Chung-ha nodded unconsciously. Just go already, no more talking. Jin-hee pulled out the sword from her waist ready to take action. She wasn’t planning to touch the lock, she was going to cut it all at once.
“Brother…?”
At that moment, Min-ha opened her eyes as she woke up to the sound of Chun-ha and Jin-hee talking. Min-ha rubbed her eyes for a moment to make sure it was not a dream, and as soon as she made sure that the face behind the mask was her brother, she approached the door dragging the heavy iron ball.
“Oh, brother! Are you really Brother?”
“Yes, it’s me Min-ha. Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay? Huh?”
Chung-ha’s voice was already filled with a crying tone. Tears were already forming in Min-ha’s eyes as she frowned because of the pain of dragging the iron ball until she arrived near the door.
‘As expected, she’s a fairy.’
Jin-hee unconsciously stopped breathing due to Mana’s energy when she came closer. Her mana’s sensitivity allowed her to feel the dense energy of mana wandering around Min-ha. At the same time, the annoyance in her heart gradually calmed at the scent from her wings.
This was the power of fairies. Just being around them makes one calm and cool down their emotions. Of course, it’s a weak energy that can be denied with pure will, but the power to manipulate unconsciousness alone was of great value.
If the Crows noticed this power and tried to exploit it.
“….”
A number of “fairy products” that I saw during Bazette’s time came to mind. As Jin-hee’s eyes were about to fiercely lit again, Min-ha’s hands approached outside the bars and held Jin-hee’s hand. A soft hand wrapped around her cold hand and held it.
“It’s okay.”
“…What?”
“Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
“….”
She read my emotions, Jin-hee soon relaxed her eyes and sighed. She slowly pushed Min-ha’s hand away, ever so gently so as not to be fierce.
This has often happened. The fairies would sometimes read human feelings or make their hidden likes surface to the conscious. Bazette in the past also frequently experienced that. When she was angry or sad, the fairy used to comfort her like this.
“Oh, Min-ha. This is the one who helped me.”
“….”
“It’s okay, she’s the one who helped me get here….”
“No, brother. I’m not worried.”
Min-ha held Chung-ha’s hand together. With teary round eyes, she smiled brightly.
“I don’t doubt her. It’s okay.”
“R-Really?”
“Yes, because this is….”
She’s someone who knows about fairies, Min-ha swallowed her words. However, Jin-hee knew her following words.
Min-ha, a fairy, couldn’t have not recognized Jin-hee’s feelings toward her.
“…All right, then can you just step back? I’m going to cut off the bars.” (Jin-hee)
“Oh, before that… Could you do me a favor?”(Min-ha)
“Favor?” (Chung-ha)

“Yes, it’s nothing big, I just wanted you to rescue someone who is also imprisoned here.”
Is there anyone else I need to save? When Chung-ha tilted his head, Min-ha looked at Jin-hee’s face and said,
“Like me… He’s a ‘different’ person. He’s right next door. He was the one who kept talking to me when I cried or couldn’t sleep. He cheered me on so that everything would be okay.”
Jin-hee and Chung-ha turned their heads to look at the room next to her. Unlike the room Min-ha was in, the next room was a room just like any other cell.
The difference from the other rooms was that it was a dark room with no light coming in. Because of that, it felt like there was no one inside.
Jin-hee walked towards the room, and she opened her eyes wide at the sudden feeling of life energy.
In the dark room, where even a silhouette could not be seen, a man was hanging upside down. Although she couldn’t see it through her eyes, she could feel that the man was staring straight at her as she looked around him with her mana.
“You are….”
Oh, my God. Jin-hee sighed again.
As she looked at him through magic, she immediately learned who he was.
“You are a Draconian.”
His appearance was of a normal human, but to her, it was clearly visible. A blazing Dragonov’s mana core unique to Draconians could be seen in the man.
What the hell is this? Jin-hee approached the grate, confused. The man’s energy became more and more agitated, but she didn’t care.
“Me… Do you know me?”
“Of course.”
How could I not know? In her previous life, Bazette’s family crest was a dragon, and one of the progenitors of the family was a Draconian. Because of that, they had a close relationship with the Draconian tribe, and some of their escort knights were actually draconian themselves.
There was no way she could not have been unaware of the feeble but burning mana core.
“It’s him. He helped me.”
Min-ha said next to her. Her voice was trembling as if asking for help. Chung-ha also looked up at Jin-hee.
“Haaa, okay, okay. I can’t get past it once I’ve seen it.”
Jin-hee pondered for a long time, then she sighed and answered.
A fairy who was her childhood friend and a symbol of her family, a Draconian. I couldn’t even say it as a joke when they were right in front of me.
“…Shut up, human. No help needed. It was only for the sake of the fairy….”
“Okay, stay still. I will cut the door and release the chains on your legs at the same time. Even if your limbs and mana circuits got cut off, can you still run?”
“….”
The draconian frowned.
“I don’t need it.”
“Shut up. I’m doing it because I want to.”
I don’t need your opinion. Jin-hee muttered.
“I have a lot to hear from you, so save your breath. You can explain what’s going on in the future.”
“…Human, do you trust me?”
“What’s the use of asking? Didn’t Dragorod say, join hands with a human and you’ll catch a loach in freshwater. Listen to me if you don’t want your dragon life to end without even having the chance to live.”
“…!”
The draconian eyes twinkled. In the pitch-black darkness, golden eyes lit up in an instant.
It was a proverb that only draconians or his relatives knew. It was meant to take on a rewarding challenge (even if you know you will be betrayed) rather than to make a trivial and unsuccessful attempt.
“…You, the Empire…!”
“Shut it.”
She nervously drew her sword.
“Chung-ha, step back.”
“Uh, huh? Yes.”
“I’m going to break this. Take your little sister and this guy then run away right away. If either of them is lost or gets hurt, I won’t let you go.”
“What about you Noona?”
“I’m going to beat up the boss here. I have a lot to ask.”
Jin-hee gave strength to her sword. A straight see-through mana covered the top of the sword, making another thin, long sword on top of the steel one.
Seeing this, the draconian muttered in a low voice.
“Heavens, a knight….”
“Shut up, bite your tongue.”
Drawn Sword.
Dragosword First step : (Suspended Slash Dragon Claws).
“…!”
A total of four slash attacks were unleashed. Two strikes cut the top and bottom of the iron bars of both cells respectively, the third sword slash cut Min-ha’s chain, and the last sword cut the draconian chain.
There was not even a slashing sound. After only the sound of the wind swaying, everything was cut off at once. Four slashes reminiscent of dragon claws were released, however, each ‘claw’ flew in a different direction and cut the target.
She cut everything off, and all that was left was the sound of sheathing the sword.
Not noticing that his hair was swaying in the strong wind, Chung-ha had his mouth agape.

“…No way, are you-.” (Draconian)
“No need to say anything, just get out.”
“…All right. I will obey you.”
The ferocious attitude was gone, and the draconian spoke in a polite tone.
He slowly walked out of the prison and knelt before her.
