System Recognition

Target: Lemi Vindiel

~You have been granted entry into the Sanctuary. Other guests should state their identity and wait for recognition.~

Thank You For Your Patience

As I was still reading what was written on the System Board, slithering sounds filled the air.

>SHWIIISSHHHHHH<

The trees began drifting apart, like large snakes with bloated bellies, they made a path for the recognized guest to traverse.

“I’ll explain the situation to them once I get in. You should all just wait here.”

“I understand. Thank you, Lemi.”

The Half Elf smiled, nodding positively as she ventured into the small path created for her.

After some time, when her figure could no longer be seen, the trees closed back.

‘Well, try your best for us, Lemi.’ I smiled.

This was the reason why I required the assistance of the Elves when dealing with their Fairy neighbors.

‘This makes things easier…’

************************

The Fairy System is efficient, so we didn’t need to wait for very long.

Either that was the case, or Lemi had a special relationship with the people here.

‘She did say she was acquainted with the Royalty here…’

The trees opened up for all of us and we entered without much difficulty.

It felt weird, passing through humongous trees that could close in and crush us at any moment, but I kept my cool.

Maria clinged close to me, and I ensured to wrap my arms around her to calm her down. She must have sensed the density of Mana that each of the trees possessed.

‘Poor girl. She must be overwhelmed…’

I was lucky not to have been able to sense Mana in my past life, so my comrades were even more afraid than I was when we wanted an Alliance back then.

Freya also seemed familiar with the surroundings, so she moved comfortably. Everyone else treaded carefully, though.

Lemi was the one who was most carefree among everyone. She was very much acquainted with this place, after all.

After helping her out with the Miasma Poisoning, I made sure to converse with the girl often—much to Freya’s dissatisfaction.

She told me quite a few things, including the fact that she visited the Fairy Kingdom very frequently.

‘That must be where she got the bright idea to dive into Research and Tech.’ I smiled.

It didn’t take us very long to reach the other end of the forest. The moment we did so, the huge wall of vines returned to their clustered state.

None of us turned back to see this happen, though.

We were more enamoured by the landscape before us.

“W-whaohh…”

“I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

“A-amazing!”

“Incredible!”

“Unbelievable!”

“H-how is this even…!”

Cries and bellows of disbelief sprang up from everyone. It felt like I was among country bumpkins who were just arriving at the city for the first time.

‘You guys are embarrassing me…’ I nearly murmured.

But, how could I blame them? After all, compared to anything they had seen in the past, this was the most amazing metropolis anyone could lay eyes on.

For one, there were no such things as solid ground, or even a visible sky.

The entire city was enclosed in a very massive dome.

But, did it feel clustered or constructive in the slightest? No way!

Every building we laid eyes on was luxuriously built, all having glimmers of Mana around them.

They also floated in midair—every single structure.

Floating boards served as platforms for those who didn’t want to fly—or couldn’t.

Though, in a nation of Fairies, such a person didn’t exist—so only the former utilized the boards.

The floating boards used for transporting people or goods from one destination to the other.

There were several floating System Windows like the one we witnessed before entering the Elf City—and they displayed various things.

Some were adverts utilized by stores, while others displayed news or entertainment.

Designated lines existed for the floating boards, so the routes each Floating Board took were organized.

The chances of an accident occuring as a result of a crash between two boards were nonexistent.

Brilliant lights illuminated the city with multiple colors, giving it an aesthetic glow. Everything was perfect—a truly modern city.

‘So much has improved since I last came here…’

The Floating Boards were new, and the fact that they now utilized their System Interface to advertise or entertain passengers or workers as they went on their activities.

The System was only used for important news and security in the past.

The buildings now looked more modern, and there were quite a few more structures I didn’t recognize.

In short, it was a new and refreshing experience for me.

We were in a transparent building when we entered the Fairy Kingdom, so we could see the brilliant sights around us—though we hadn’t officially entered yet.

‘Looks like we still have to go through an Immigration Officer…’

The System checked everything just fine, so there was no problem with security.

The major reason why an Officer had to be dispatched was so guests—especially first timers like us—would get accustomed to the new place we just arrived in without freaking out.

The Officer would run us through the important things to note concerning the Sanctuary, as well as serve as our guide for whatever we wanted to do.

Their existence also prevented the perpetration of illegal activities by newcomers.

The Fairy Society operated in an efficient manner which ensured that the peace and tranquility of the denizens.

It was a literal sanctuary.

“Welcome to the Sanctuary, everyone—also known as the Fairy Republic.” A voice appeared from behind us.

The gawking members of my groups sharply turned and saw a denizen of the City. It could be the fist time they would see one so close.

“My name is Lu. I’ll be aiding you on your visit today.” The Fairy bowed slightly.

Everyone awkwardly did the same, still completely flustered by his appearance.

‘Lu, uh? I’ve definitely seen him before. Wasn’t he a Researcher back then? He looks different too…’ I made sure to suppress my surprise as I bowed as well.

As everyone raised their heads, the young-looking Fairy smiled warmly—displaying a charming radiance.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”
