The Strongest Fairy Chapter 132

The Reward is a Massage

"Well, there are the schoolhouses from all over the world, the large training grounds, the accommodation for teaching staff and the accommodation for students... and then there's the..."

"And then there's the magical device research tower, the educational conference hall, and the magical library. Does it feel like we've got all the main dishes?"

"Something like that. Shall we move on to the next one, Fernora?"

"Wait, please don't go... please wait for me..."

Oh... a beautiful woman is on all fours trembling like a fawn. If her face wasn't so terrible, it would probably be arousing. It doesn't look like that now, sorry.

We had spent the whole day exploring every nook and cranny of this city. I had asked Fernora to guide us, but at this rate, it looks like I'll have to carry her on my back to get around faster.

She was eating shaved ice while looking tired. Arena served the ice, I used wind magic to shave it, and then I added the nectar of the World Tree on top to finish it off.

I was surprised when Arena recited the incantation in front of me, but I quickly understood her intentions and was able to join in. Phew, good work.

"What on earth is this incredibly delicious thing...?"

"It's a sweet made with our secret sauce. Sorry for moving so fast? It's my apology."

"Well, it's fine."

We were moving at a fast pace, but even so, it was five hours straight, and it really took its toll on my legs. I and Arena were having so much fun that we didn't get tired at all.

"Dori-san and Rina-san both have incredibly strong bodies. I was wondering what kind of climbers they were when I heard they were coming at this time of year..."

"Oh, you thought that of me? Well, there's a good reason for this, Fernora-san."

"Can you hear me, Fernora's big sister?"

"Your tone is also annoying... so I'll ask you then, what have you two been doing in Galania so far?"

""Adventurers""    

"Who introduced you here?"

""Mondol-san.""

"What is the purpose of your visit?"

"It's a secret~."

"What's the secret reason? I'll spank you if you don't tell me!"

Fernora thought: Could it be that these two were sent by my father to keep an eye on me? Could it be that they had come to check that I was doing well? At first, that was the impression I had. They had approached me straight away, and more than anything, they had come as third-year students at this time of year.

"Dori, there's honey on your mouth. Look."

"Mmm, thanks Rina. But it's warm inside the barrier, isn't it?"

"If the weather's nice tomorrow, let's go sunbathing. Come sleep with me~♪."

"Oh, that sounds exciting."

However, as long as I was watching their affectionate appearance, I couldn't bring myself to feel that way. Or rather, they were too close. Dori was sitting on top of Rina, who was still sitting on the chair, and the two of them were eating shaved ice together, with Dori hugging Rina's stomach.

Watching them like that, it seemed silly to be suspicious.

"Well, it doesn't matter who they are, does it?"

The Magical Device Research Tower was a building that was almost as tall as the barrier, reaching almost to the ceiling. Even when I was looking at it from the outside, it was so tall that I thought it was a chimney, so I had no idea that this was it.

And when I went in, it was common for everyone to use a ring attached to their wrist for authentication. It was something that made me excited about the near future.

This ring was also very high-tech. It seems that if you make a specific movement, for example if you break the school rules, a buzzer goes off. Furthermore, it appears that the person who breaks the rules is also treated with a state of paralysis so that they cannot move, and it was thorough. I looked into it, and it was on a par with the slave collar that Hinomoto-san was wearing.

In other words, I can deactivate it with my fairy magic. I don't usually do it, though.

"It's because of things like this that there isn't a single piece of litter on the main street, and the public order is good."

"It seems that some students from the Department of Magical Tools tried to break it in the past, but the moment they came into contact with the incantation, they let out a strange cry and fainted."

"Wow, that's scary, Dori♪."

"For someone who's trying to do that, you seem to be enjoying yourself, Rina-san..."

This girl already deactivated it. You're quick at your work, aren't you?

"Wow, there are so many ugly people."

When I entered the tower, there were people discussing something here and there, and others muttering to themselves while looking at plans. And there were people experimenting with magical tools.

The floor is made of stone, but the walls are made of some kind of special alloy, right? When you tap on them with your hand, you can hear a slight echo.

I went up the stairs to the top, and on one of the floors I met a man.

"Oh, isn't that Fernora? Didn't you say you weren't coming to the tower anymore?"

The man who said this was a well-built man with a bushy brown beard. He was wearing a white lab coat, but was he also a researcher? Not an adventurer? Fernora said nonchalantly to the man.

"I'm just here to show the two new students around today."

"Really? You're the third-year students everyone's been talking about? Wow, you're gorgeous, but are you related to the royal family or something?"

"No, we're simply adventurers. My name's Dori, and this is Rina. What's your name, uncle?"

"Uncle? I may look like this, but I'm still in my 20s. I'm Baggot. Nice to meet you."

"It's because you have a beard like that. Seriously..."

Really, Baggot-san? I'm sorry. If you shave your beard, you'll look younger. Apologizing, Baggot-san said, "It's fine," and left again to continue his research on magical items. I think I'll go and see him again sometime.

What I learned from looking around. First, there were floors in this building that normal students couldn't go to. The tower is divided into lower, middle, upper, and special floors, but it appears that the floors are divided from the bottom up in the order of first year, second year, and third year.

The special floor is for special students and teachers. There are apparently students and teachers who have the potential to create things that rival the Kamishiro Magic Tools. It is said that this floor is only rented out to those people.

I hear that most of the students are commoners who receive support from the government, and that they spend their first and second years in class and their third year doing research. It seems that after graduating, they are asked to make magical tools in their home country. If they are employed by the government, they receive a high salary, and they are also grave about their work.

"The special floor? Does that include the storage area?"

"That's right. I hear that the storage of the Kamishiro Magical Tools is also done here. They are lent out from some country once a year, and the people on the special floor are the ones who research them, right? But the period is only until the end of the year."

"Hee... so they can't do much?"

"I can't say for sure. Well, that's all the explanation I have for you. I'm leaving now... It's always so smelly in here, I can't bear it."

Smell? Oh, there's something burning or boiling. I wonder what the purpose of that is... I can hear some suspicious laughter. Oh well, I'm done here anyway.

"Dori, did you [detect] it?"

"No problem. Let's try the next one."

"Oh~♪"

"..."    

"I can't walk anymore..."

"Thanks Fernora. I'll take you to heaven with a full-body massage later."

"I'll help you."

Fernora's legs had become a hell of pain from lactic acid, and she couldn't take another step. She was really made to show her way around the whole school, and it was already dark, with five minutes to go before the end of the school day.

Arena carried Fernora on her back, but she resisted with her immobile body until the end.

"This is humiliating... It's so humiliating..."

"Well, it can't be helped. Everyone was watching over you with warm eyes, right?"

"I'm so embarrassed!"

I hit Arena, but she didn't break her smile at all. Well then, we've arrived at the dormitory, so let's go to our room. Let's see, what was the number of the key they gave us?

"Arena, we're in room 301. After we send Fernora-san's luggage, shall we go unpack?"

"Sure. Fernora-san, where's your room?"

"..."

Fernora hung her head and didn't answer. However, she showed me one of the keys from her uniform pocket. Seeing this, I also took a key out of my pocket and compared them.

Fernora's key → [301]

Our key → [301]

"""..."""    

It was the same room. Oh, her face is turning bright red like a tomato. Alright, before she says anything, let's dash to her room and shut her up.

"Rina, dash!"

"Leave it to me!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

"Director Maaton, why did you put them in the same room as the princess of Galania?"

In the director's room in the teacher's dormitory. In a room that was somewhat larger than the other teachers', an elderly teacher was sitting opposite the director, who was called Maaton.

"Oh dear, is there a problem, Bushis-kun? There was no other room available, and above all, both of them had their father, King Mondol, write the introduction letter. The royal crest is authentic, and it said to give them the utmost consideration."

"But... what will the heroes get up to again?"

"Haven't you ever heard of them asking for anything? What's the matter, Bushis-kun? Are you being blackmailed?"

"Ugh... no."

"Huh..."

Maaton sighs and gives Bushis a warning.

"You're being too scared by the word 'hero', Bushis-kun. You should relax. They're enrolled in this academy as students now too. Even if they have holy swords and holy armor, they can't easily hurt people... I don't think so, but have you taken off your ring?"

"No, no way! I wouldn't do such a suicidal act!"

Maaton breathes a sigh of relief, thinking that they didn't go that far. He knows that if they let those [bad-mannered] people run wild, who knows how many students will be sacrificed.

"Anyway, it's been proven by the king's seal that these girls are serious students. If you don't like it, watch their movements with your own eyes."

"..."

Bushis bowed his head and left the room without a word. As he watched his back disappear, he gulped down the tea on his desk and jumped onto his bed. It's not something an old man should be doing, but he was a researcher once. He's a selfish person.

"I can't take it anymore. I want to get rid of those idiots. I really would like to get rid of them. And I want them to leave, taking only the Holy Sword and Holy Armor with them as research materials. Really... well, it's fine for now."

So he would say things like this without a second thought. He was such a mischievous school principal.

----------------------------------------------------

"Speaking of which, why is Oikawa-kun so short?"

"Ugh..."

"What are you talking about? It's fine because he's cute!"

"What?!"

"I see, I understand. So that's it, Fernora."

"He's certainly cute~♪."
