nDream Island.

nHome to the Dawn Fairies, this island does not see much sunlight.

nThis is because the purple planet Helyawin that covered half the sky also blocked the sun.

nSo there was only about 3 hours of sunlight during the day.

nThe remaining 18 hours were the dusky twilight before dawn.

nStrangely, although the planet Helyawin blocked the sun, half the light was able to pass through Dream Island, thus, the world was dyed purple all through dawn.

nThe sky was purple, the clouds were purple, everything was purple.

nThe purple world is like an illusion, a dream.

nThat may be why this island is called Dream Island.

nIt was also a floating island.

n

n

nBut since the fairies have never gone down the island, they have no idea another world exists outside of the island.

nJust like a dream, they lived in their own world.

nEvening in Dream Forest is about three hours.

nBut it wasn’t too dark at this hour.

nBecause the spirits that were hiding below ground came up one by one to brighten this world.

nThe Dawn Fairies, turning their heads, saw the colorful and beautiful spirits twinkling like fireflies, and because of this, they did not have to worry about getting lost on Dream Island.

nDawn Fairies don’t dream.

nBecause their life is like a dream.

n“Beautiful.”

nThe second princess of the Dawn Tribe, Marilyn, would always climb to the highest mountain on the east side of Dream Island at sunrise.

nIt’s because from here she could faintly see the ‘sea’ beneath the island that is said to exist in legends.

nA whole world covered in water?

nIt sounded fantastic just thinking about it.

nWhen other Dawn Fairies were content to just live happily day by day, she felt no happiness towards such life.

nJust, the sea.

nLooking at it was the only thing that brought Marilyn happiness.

nAfter staring at the sea for a long time, before she knew it, the sun had risen.

nThis time is when the whole world became blue.

nThe sky was blue, and the world of water in the distance was also blue.

nIn this world full of purple, Marilyn loved the color blue.

nAs she enjoyed the view, she became lost in the moment.

n“…!”

nThe wind began to sway.

nImmediately, Marilyn hid under a tree, and the tree moved on its own to cover her body.

nThe animals that were running around hid in the ground, and the birds and spirits flying in the sky also disappeared.

nHwiiing…!!

nSomething flew up from beneath the island.

nSoon, it glided across Dream Island.

n‘Wind Devils!’

nDevils suddenly appeared one day in the wind.

nThey looked similar to Dawn Fairies.

nLight skinned with ten fingers and feet.

nHowever, unlike the Dawn Fairies who have pointed ears, purple eyes, and purple hair, they had rounded ears, brown eyes, and brown hair.

nAlso, the wing-like contraption on their backs were made from wood and paper, a machine that allowed the Wind Devils to fly in the sky.

nA very dangerous device that can control the wind.

nSuch creatures born from nature had dared to control it.

nFrom the Dawn Fairies’ point of view, the existence of such machines is horrible, but the Wind Devils are too powerful for them to do anything about it.

n‘Wait, that direction is…!’

nMarilyn gasped when she saw the direction the Wind Devils were heading.

nWasn’t that where her tribe lives?

n‘No way, a coincidence…?’

nThe residences of the Dawn Fairies are protected by nature, thus, it’s not easily found by the eyes of the Wind Devils.

nBecause it can look like an ordinary tree, river, or rock.

nBut now.

nAren’t the Wind Devils confidently flying as if they knew where they’re going?

n‘I have to tell the tribe!’

nMarilyn hurriedly touched a tree.

nAll the trees in nature that exist on Dream Island are connected by a single root, enabling communication anywhere.

nSo the Dawn Fairies uses it to contact one another from far away.

nIt’s already been five years since the Wind Devils began to invade Dream Island.

nHowever, the fairies still haven’t been able to respond to this disaster.

nNight came.

nIt lasts only about three hours each day, but because it’s a time of abundance energy, it’s the perfect time for a ‘ceremony.’

nAll the Dawn Fairies were gathered at the ‘Twilight Tree,’ which rose high into the sky, as they knelt and prayed.

nTwilight Tree.

nPassed down from generation to generation, it’s said that the earliest Dawn Fairies that blossomed from their flowers were always given a solution by this tree whenever something perilous happened.

nHowever, for the last 300 years, the Twilight Tree has not answered their calls.

nIs it out of energy?

nIs it exhausted?

nOr, is it because they had wished too much that it has stopped listening.

nThey don’t know.

nBut this was the only thing the Dawn Fairies could do.

nThe devils are too powerful for them to deal with, so as always, they had no choice but to wish.

n‘…Too many fairies have died.’

nLeading the ceremony as the priestess is the second princess, Marilyn, who was dancing buoyantly near the tree.

nIt has already been 3 years since the first princess, Arilyn, went into seclusion.

nSince then, the second princess has taken on the role of overseeing the Dawn Fairies.

nEueuk…

nHeuk…

nIn the midst of the ceremony, cries burst out from all sides.

nShe had hurriedly warned that the devils were invading, but it was too late, as many fairies died before they could hide.

nHow did the devils find their homes?

nThat one question dominated Marilyn’s mind.

n‘Please. Mother, please guide us.’

nThe three hour long ceremony gradually heightened, as the sound of music from the Dawn Fairies filled the Twilight Tree.

nSuddenly, on top of the altar dedicated to the Twilight Tree, a blue light burst out and something appeared.

n“…!”

nInstantly, there was silence.

nLooking at the altar, all the Dawn Fairies were surprised.

nSeeing something with black hair and black eyes appear before them, Marilyn backed away.

n“Ah, devil…!”

nRounded ears, the symbol of the devil.

nAs she backed away with a pale look, she saw something on his chest.

n“…Silver Spiritual Flower?”

nThen, the man with black eyes also looked up at himself.

nNo, to be exact, somewhere between the air.

n2…1…0

nTravel completed.

nYou became a passerby on Dream Island…

n…Correction.

nYou became Dream Island’s spirit guide.

nI’ve never been treated to the local’s food in another world before.

n“It’s our Dawn Fairies’ special dish, ‘Bayahm’s Seven Honey.’”

nSharp ears.

nPurple eyes and hair.

nAnnoyingly beautiful and handsome appearance.

nIt seems that this is a world of ‘fairies.’

nAnd just because I have the Silver Spiritual Flower and has appeared at a really amazing time, I was treated with extreme care.

nWas I lucky?

nOr.

n‘Did you do something?’

n< No way. I don’t have the ability to interfere with the world’s plot. >

nWell, I suppose so.

nIf she is able to interfere, she would have killed the protagonists without needing me in the first place.

n< Only…this time, little by little, I felt this world would have a better start. >

n‘Is that so.’

nI’ve always carefully selected a world according to the Client’s recommendation, but never knew which had a good start.

nI thought it would have been similar no matter which world I chose.

n‘How nice it would be if this happens every time.’

n< …It’s impossible. It was possible this time because I felt a strong ‘connection to the plot.’ >

nThe connection to the plot is probably the Silver Spiritual Flower I held in my arms.

nEvident by these fellows who call themselves Dawn Fairies or Morning Fairies or whatever, as they couldn’t take their eyes off the flowerpot on the table.

n“Are you feeling better?”

nYes…

n“Is there anything else you need?”

n…I also want a drink.

nThe flower was coveting the fairies’ wine on the table.

n“You’re still wet behind the ears for that.”

nI don’t have ears…

nIt seems to be in much better shape now that it’s talking nonsense.

nProof that this is a perfect environment.

nI had also asked the fairies to ‘bring me something good for the spirit,’ and they brought me the best soil they had.

nIn many ways, it was the right choice to come to this world.

nBy the way…

n“…Is this a special dish?”

nA big bowl was on my table, and inside is a watery soup of some kind.

nIndeed, this is a special dish.

n“That’s right! Mixing a drop of honey that comes from the rocks of Ashil once a year, the green honey from the Santatrom Butterfly, and a spoonful of honey from the Kama Melon….

n“Aye. Quiet down, I’ll eat it.”

n“Yes!”

nWhen the male fairy in front of me stopped talking, I ate some of the honey, and surprisingly, it’s quite delicious.

n“Do you guys always eat this stuff?”

n“Of course! We never eat living things. By comparison, the devils are really barbaric. How, how…They cut the animals with a knife, burn them with wood, then eat them…Ugh, just thinking about it is horrible.”

n“…”

n“Ah, is something wrong?”

n“…No. Just. I was suffering from an ethical dilemma.”

nThe fairies said they would never harm nature.

nThat’s to say, they don’t even eat salad.

nTheir diet consisted of only honey.

nStrangely enough, their honey seems to contain all the essential nutrients.

nAlthough it’s not a special dish, I think it’ll be fine as a combat ration.

nThe male fairy left after I ate a moderate amount of the honey.

nThe honey could fill my stomach, so I emptied the bowl, got up, and approached the window.

nAs I pushed the wooden partition to open the window, as if moving on its own, it slowly opened.

n…Looking at it now, all the buildings that I thought were carved from wood are actually living trees, made to look like buildings.

n“Crazy. How is this possible?”

nI couldn’t believe the trees changed into the shape of buildings.

nWhen I looked out the window and saw the village, I felt like I was going to fall in love with it, like a dream.

nThis world was too beautiful.

nBeyond comparison to Earth.

nA world of purple stretching across the horizon.

nSwarms of pink lights swaying closely, an embroidered scene that cannot be found anywhere on Earth.

nThe Dawn Fairies moved freely through the air and on the trees, which are like their form of Earth’s highways.

nTo get around, I needed some help from my suit and skills.

nIt’s fortunate my body is flexible.

nKnock knock!

n– Can I come in?

n“Yes.”

nHearing my reply, the door opened and a woman with purple hair tied in a ponytail came in.

nThis woman is the princess, Marilyn, who guided me the other day.

nLooking at me, she hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

n“Mister Guide, do you know why we called you?”

nI don’t know.

n“I know.”

nI pretended to know.

n“Yes…As you know, we’re being threatened by ‘Wind Devils.’ Even though we’ve often moved our residence and have hid thanks to nature’s help, the devils keep finding us.”

nAccording to her explanation, they use horrible magic.

nWhen the terrifying roar resounded, she recalls the world bursting into flames, as many died from having their body pierced just by having a stick pointed at them.

n“A horrifying magic.”

nI don’t have a clue what magic that is either.

nDying from having a stick pointed at you?

nI’ve never heard of such magic.

nAlso, flying in the sky…

nBut that part wasn’t really important to me.

nIn the end, this is a ‘story,’ so I just have to follow the river of fate and find the protagonist.

nI had looked over every Dawn Fairies, and none had the protagonist hashtag.

nThat means the protagonist must be one of the ‘devils.’

n“Those fellows, do you know where they are now?”

n“Ye-yes…North of Dream Island, at ‘Sleeping Giant Rock Valley.’ They’re camped there.”

n“Okay. Let’s go”

nIf there are devils, it’s best to confirm it as soon as possible.

nDawn Fairies uses a huge bird called the White Mane Eagle for travel.

nWhy the eagles have a mane and is not a lion, I don’t know, but anyways, it’s a fairy world.

nAfter Marilyn sat in front and I sat in the back, the eagle slowly took off.

nThe current time is 18:30.

nIt’s supposed to be sunset, but it’s already dawn here.

nFlying up into the dreary night sky, the world slowly disappeared.

nThen, I only felt the feeling of dreaming.

nAn indescribable magical world.

nWaterfalls fell from the top of dozens of huge rocky cliffs floating in the sky, and between are intertwined vines that stretched around it.

nThis is not anyone’s work.

nSimply, it’s a site created by nature for the Dawn Fairies.

nFor a long time, we flew in the air and through huge cliffs, and before I knew it, we passed by a purple stream of lights.

n“It’s the Spiritual Milky Way. Today is the season’s last twilight.”

n“…”

nI didn’t say anything.

nOr to be exact, I couldn’t.

nThe eagle flew really quietly.

nTo avoid the devils finding out.

nBut Marilyn must have been nervous, as she was breaking out in cold sweats.

nRightfully so.

nJust the thought of us heading towards the base of the wind demons who blew up all their homes.

nI don’t know how strong the devils are, but escaping will be possible.

nFinally, after a couple of hours of flying, traces of the devils’ camp came into view.

nIt could be assumed by the rising smoke in the distance.

nBecause fairies don’t use fire.

n“…Fire.”

nSuddenly, I had a gut feeling.

nWhen we arrived at the devils’ camp, my gut feeling seemed to have hit the mark.

nBrown hair and eyes.

nSimilar appearances to the fairies but rounded ears.

nThe identity of the devils is as plain as day.

n

n

n“…Humans?”

nRight.

nSo, the terrible magic the Dawn Fairies speak of turns out to be science.

nAnyone could have guessed it, but I didn’t give it much thought.

nThe genre of this world is not humans being invaded, rather, it’s them invading.

n“Hmm…”

nAlso, the devils, no, humans, had very unique looking hang gliders and gunpowder cannons all over their camp, as well as what appears to be rifles.

nChecking them slowly, I lightly smiled.

nThe firearms they have are much older than my equipment.

n“This, isn’t it going to be easier than I thought?”

n
