I gasped in surprise. Did they notice me? Crap. In an instant, the lights stopped moving.
(Those are <<Pheom>>⊠right?)
They looked like straight out of a picture book. The four of them floated over, each with a different hair color. Red, blue, yellow, and green.
âHey! Hey! << Gabranth >>! Wait no, << Humas >>. Were you watching us? You were werenât you!â (Pheom)
âSo what << Pheom >>? Quit yapping about it.â (Hiiro)
âThis is different from what mother told us!â (Pheom)
âYeah! << Humas >> shouldnât be able to see us!â (Pheom)
(How annoying⊠they buzz around your face, chatter endlessly. But thereâs one thing that bothers me.)
âYou. How did you know that I wasnât a << Gabranth >>?â (Hiiro)
(Right now, I should be disguised as a << Gabranth >>, heck even they couldnât tell me apart. Yet these << Pheom >> saw through it instantly!)
âWow! Itâs talking! It can really see us!â (Pheom)
For some reason the red one seems overjoyedâŠ
âAnyways, answer me! How could you tell?â (Hiiro)
âHuh?!? Cause itâs not the real thing? I guess.â (Pheom)
With a blank look, she answers my question.
âReal?!? What do you mean?â (Hiiro)
âKyahaha! << Humas >>, you seriously donât know?â (Pheom)
The yellow one seems to be enjoying itself.
âInteresting! How interesting!â (Pheom)
âIâll tell you! Itâs cause weâre << Pheom >>! The all-seeing race!â (Pheom)
Now youâre talkingâŠ
âAll-seeing race? What does that mean?â (Hiiro)
âKyahaha! He doesnât know! He really doesnât know!â (Pheom)
The red one is still flying, trying to mimic me. The green one continuesâŠ
âOur eyes see only the truth!â (Pheom)
ââŠso you can see the true form of anyone?â (Hiiro)
âOoo! AMAZING! So good!â (Pheom)
The blue oneâs laughing again⊠Iâm seriously considering using <> to make him fall.
âAnyways, thatâs how we know.â (Pheom)
The yellow one nods. I really would prefer to speak one on one with him right now.
The red one approaches me.
âHmmm. This being⊠is it really a << Humas >>? Really?â (Pheom)
âWHAT! Isnât it?â (Pheom)
âHe certainly looks like oneâŠâ (Pheom)
âMaybe heâs different?â (Pheom)
âWell I donât know, he feels different from the rest of them.â (Pheom)
The red one smacks his hand.
âI know! Mother might know!â (Pheom)
âI see!â (Pheom)
âAre we going?â (Pheom)
âAre you sure about this?â (Pheom)
Hiiro sighs.
âAlright! Letâs go!â (Pheom)
ZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZUZU
In front of them, a rift opens up.
âWhat in the world?â (Hiiro)
The rift widens, to the size of a person. Nothing but darkness can be seen inside.
âThis way to mother! Letâs go!â (Pheom)
âHe⊠hey!â (Hiiro)
The red one pulls his hand.
(Who is this mother they speak of? But seriously⊠arenât these guys being too trusting right now?)
(It seems that these << Pheom >> arenât very bright. Are their heads alright?)
(However, this piques my interest. You never know, I might find something interesting!)
Hiiro stepped into the rift.
âHuh!?!â (Hiiro)
The << Pheom >> let out a light which penetrates the darkness. The interior looks like a part of the forest, but there are countless lights floating about.
A house. A tiny house. As small as a dollhouse.
(I feel like Iâve stepped into LilliputâŠ)
âOver here!â (Pheom)
The red one pulls him over. A massive, hollowed out tree comes into view, and a woman appears.
She isnât tiny like the rest of them. Light blue hair, long enough as to reach the ground. Her hair shines. On her head rests some sort of a crown. Wings on her back. Slender features. She looks just like a goddess.
Holding a cane, with a glowing orb with feathers on top, she announces.
âWelcome traveller! To << Fairy Garden >>.â (Woman)
âThanks for inviting me, though I was pretty much forced to come.â (Hiiro)
The red one stuck out itâs tongue.
âOrun has a good eye. I donât think she would bring an enemy.â (Woman)
Apparently, she trusts me.
âHey! Hey! Mother!â (Pheom)
âYes dear?â (Woman)
âThis person, is he really a << Humas >>?â (Pheom)
âNo. He comes from another world. He isnât from the world of << Idea >>â (Woman)
The surrounding fairies raised their voices as if impressed. Hiiro smiled.
âBy the way, are you behaving as Iâve asked? He is a visitor, show some courtesy will you?â (Woman)
Orun is being scolded. Ha! Serves you right.
âAnyways! Let me introduce myself properly. I am the head of the << Pheom >>, Niño. If you would so kind as to tell us your name?â (Woman)
âArnold Oceanâ (Hiiro)
Niño laughs.
â⊠Hiiro Okumura. I look forward to working with you.â (Niño)
I reluctantly lower my head.
(I see⊠they can even see through lies.)
My fake name was seen through instantly. I wanted to make sure, but her ability really is amazing. This sort of deception doesnât even faze her.
âBy all means Hero, follow me.â (Niño)
We entered the tree. There was a fairly large space. Some snacks had been prepared for us.
âThis food is called << Vanyar >> â (Niño)
It was shaped like a flower, and sparkled in my hands. There was a squishy thing on top.
(Is this⊠gelatin?)
But I canât eat it just yet. It might be poisoned. I start writing under the desk.
âRest assured. We arenât trying to poison you.â (Niño)
ââŠâ (Hiiro)
âAnd please stop writing under the desk.â (Niño)
It feels like they have eyes everywhere.
âWhy should I believe you.â (Hiiro)
âWell then!â (Niño)
She takes the << Vanyar >> and eats it.
âOf course, we havenât put anything in the drink eitherâ (Niño)
Or so you say⊠I frown.
âQuite paranoid, arenât youâ (Niño)
âOf course. Iâm on my own right now. Isnât that expected?â (Hiiro)
âWell⊠how about you check for yourself?â (Niño)
â⊠What?!?â (Hiiro)
âUse your << Word Magic >>â (Niño)
Hiiro froze. He knew that they had the ability to âseeâ, but he hadnât expected their âvisionâ to be this powerful.
âOur power is the ability to see everything. Of course, that includes << Status >> as well.â (Niño)
By seeing my << Status >>, one would be able to find out about my << Word Magic >>. But even thenâŠ
(<< Word Magic >> is quite strong.)
I let magic flow to my finger.
âIf you donât mindâŠâ (Hiiro)
The word he wrote was << Prying >>. And so, Niñoâs status appeared before him.
(This power is seriously OP)
