Mother Earth was convinced (not saying she had proof) that it was the fairies who were cooperating with the evil dragons and getting in our way.
And now I had unexpectedly caught a fairy flying around there.
A tiny girl whose whole body is glowing green and faintly luminescent? Or something like that. On her back was a translucent object that looked like an insect’s wing flap.
It was a rare chance for me to ask about their true intentions.
“Could it be a confession of love? Oh no, what should I do? Chiple, I’m in trouble!”
In my hands, the fairy was squirming and wiggling and embarrassed.
For now, I’ll try to clarify the identity of this fairy.
They possess “divinity” and it would be a great burden on my body if I tried to “appraise” them and read their information.
However, I tried to see if I could do something about it if I could do it a little bit in small steps.

Name: Chiple
Title: Fairy, Playboy

(T/N: 遊び人 = Playboy or Freeloader. I might change it accordingly)
I can smell the stench of a bottom-feeder.
Well, a fairy is a fairy. Let’s disregard it. Even the bottom rung of the ladder might know a lot of things.
I exited the hot water at once. Struggling with one hand, I wrapped a towel around my waist.
My body is currently warm, but it will get cold if I talk too much. I soaked my feet in the hot water and sat down on the rocky ground.
Alright. With fairies, I can read a little, just enough to make my head spin, but not so much that I can’t stand it.
I’ll put the status and such on the back burner and pinpoint the thoughts of the fairy that is Chiple, which is written on the [Status].
And, although I was enthusiastic…
“Hehe, staring at me so passionately. But, I won’t say OK so easily. Hehehe, I’ll tease you and tease you, and make you like Chiple even more.”
……. Why even bother with reading ? You are drooling over your thoughts.
For now, let’s just talk normally. I want to avoid any kind of physical strain on my body.
My instincts tell me to be cautious in conversation. If a person is sorry for their choices, many things will end up happening. Probably.
“This is not a confession of love,” I tried to be honest.
Would I offend her ? I was nervous inside, but I didn’t let my expression falter.
Chiple-san, the fairy – as she calls herself – squinted her eyes.
“Heh, you’re good.”
What is it ?
“You’re trying to play love games with Chiple! Hehe, I’m starting to enjoy this !”
“What brings you here Chiple-san.”
“Ara, I see that you are already curious about Chiple ! Is this an easy win for Chiple ? Chiple just came to see what a brave man looks like.”
“What were you going to do when you saw me ?”
“That’s a given. If you’re a nice guy, I’ll seduce you and make you fall in love with Chiple.”
“….. adorable,” I knew it was abrupt, but I was honest in my praise.
Chiple-san shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, “Expressing the facts as they are is a truly disappointing experience. I am a little disappointed.”
“Sorry, I wasn’t referring to you, Chiple-san.”
“Wha- ! Of- of- of course, I know.”
“I was thinking how cute your hair is.”
“Eh? As- As I knew you were talking about Chiple.”
“No, I’m talking about my friend…..”
“I- I- I knew it. Wh- Wha- What is this ? Is this guy not interested in Chiple at all ? Ugh- fru- stra- ting-. I will definitely, definitely make you look at me !”
I’m starting to get the gist of it.
This fairy answers questions easily. And she seems to really want to involve romance in her talk with me.
Yes, I know. I know. If I go on like this, I’ll probably end up in hell.
I mustn’t get involved in the romance side of the conversation at her pace.
If I make the mistake of getting her to fall in love with me. Chiple-san could assassinate everyone in my vicinity with her stealth, mobility, and brutality.
“Chiple-san, are you cooperating with the evil dragon?” Let’s just cut to the chase here and ask her to quickly leave.
But then, as it turns out, “Evil dragon ? What’s that ? And Chipotle doesn’t really need a big one. Human size at best ?”
“Huh? Have you never heard of the evil dragon…..?”
” I– I– I know what you’re talking about. That one, right ? Dragons, right? Bad dragons. Un, that one, un un.”
I sense that she’s not lying, even if I don’t read her state.
