"Ei! What are you guys doing here?!"
"This lake belongs to us, Water Fairies! Scram!"
"Wait! Maybe they have candies?"
"Mister, do you have candies?"
Countless Water Fairies, who were only as tall as Alex's hand, flew fearlessly close to the group of Catkins as if they weren't worried that the strangers might hurt them.
In the world of Arcana, the Fairies were always treated as a neutral party.
But while they had no natural enemies, that didn't mean they weren't hunted down.
Greedy humans would come and capture a few of them to be sold in auctions because they made good familiars for Mages.
Normally, Fairies only had one criterion before flying close to strangers—their heart must be good.
They were born with an innate ability that allowed them to instinctively tell whether someone was good. If a bad person appeared before them, they would immediately hide or flee without a second thought.
