A small woman with wings is floating in the air. The flapping of her wings does not match her up and down motion, so it is not as if her wings are pushing the air.
　The woman remained in the air and bowed.

I'm Giselle. My name is Giselle.
Huh.

　In front of me, I give a very dumb reply. I heard Deanna or Liddy coughing behind me, and I straightened up a little.

If you'll excuse me, I don't want to stand around talking, so please come in.

　I don't know how much of a burden it is for Giselle to be floating around, but it seems to be a bit of a burden, so I'll ask her to sit down.

"Well, thank you very much.

　Giselle smiled with the adjective "flowery" and wandered in.

This way, please.
Thank you.

　I couldn't ask her to sit on a chair, so I asked her to sit on the table.
　This might be the first time I've had a guest with a different size. Anne is a giant, but her mother is a giant and her father is a human, so she is not so big as to be a problem. The size of the bed has been adjusted slightly.

　At that time, I thought about preparing for a bigger one, but I didn't think about preparing for a smaller one.
　But normally speaking, if there are big people, there must be small people, right? .......
　I'll keep that in mind when I'm preparing something in the future.

　I asked Lique to prepare mint tea, but of course we didn't have a cup Giselle's size.
　I had no choice but to ask her to put it in the smallest container we had. It was still half the size of Giselle's cup.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but this way please.
"Well, thank you very much. It smells good.

　The temperature has been rising lately, and the cool scent of mint will be more pleasant. I think I've got the hang of hospitality now.
　Giselle gently sipped from her cup and took a sip. It's like drinking from a big plastic bucket.

"Pfft. It's so good! We don't do this kind of thing often, so it's fun.

　She looks like a fairy, I wonder if she drinks nectar from flowers. Should we ask Liddy to grow some flowers?

That's good to know.
"Well, so...

　Giselle straightened her posture. We all straighten up.

We all straighten our posture. "This is Ether ......, or magic power as you call it. Are you refining it?
"No, I'm not purposely refining ...... it.

　I shook my head. It is a byproduct of the hardening process of megistium, and not something you aim for.
　The ones that do form are unstable and disappear quickly.

I've always thought there was an increase in magical power, but today's was even stronger, so I thought it might be the result of such work. ......
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It also disappeared very quickly.
"I see. ......

　When I showed her the Megistium ring, Giselle's little shoulders slumped. I'm sure she's exaggerating her movements so that we can understand her better.

"Is that what you wanted?
"Yes, it's called .......

　Giselle looked lost for a moment. Her eyes and nose were so pretty that it looked as if she was moving a doll.

You know that this forest is filled with a strong magical power, right?

　We all nodded. Did I tell Anne that? Well, if I didn't tell her, someone else will.

"So, we fairies also live in this forest, but sometimes we get sick.
"Sickness? Like a fever?
Yes. It's a little different from what you're used to, but it causes the magic to drain out of the body.
It's called .......
Yes, it's a deadly disease.

　I heard someone gasp and a silence fell over the place. Giselle continued.

To cure it, you need to be exposed to strong magic, but there are few places in this forest that are good for that. ......
"And this place doesn't work?
Yeah.

　I pointed to the floor and asked, and Giselle nodded. Then she said excuse me and took two sips of her tea.
　The reason why no beasts come around this house is because of its strong magical power. Even the trees in this forest avoid this place.

This place also has strong magic power, but it's still not enough.
"I see. So, you're saying that we should have some crystallized magical energy on hand?
That's right!

　Giselle stood up unconsciously. If there is a ray of hope for an almost incurable disease, then that's where I'll turn.



But not if it disappears quickly.
I was going to try to find a way to maintain crystallization in the interim, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that in a hurry. ......
That's true. ......

　I don't want to cast a shadow on the light that I have just seen, but I can't bend the facts. Giselle sat down again.
　Well, if I could do something about it, I would. Oh, I see.

You have to have strong magic, right?
Yes, I do.
Well, if anyone has the disease, please bring them here. I'll make crystals on the spot if that'll cure them. I'll make crystals on the spot if that will cure you.

　I'm not so great as a doctor, but if it can save the lives of the fairies, it's a small price to pay.

Are you sure?
"Yes.

　Giselle stood up again. A flower of joy blooms on her face.

"Thank you!

　Giselle bowed her head. I wonder if it's a vestige of the old wars that all races share this same gesture.
　When I held out my finger, Giselle squeezed it like a handshake.
