Even in the forest of silence, all the fairies seem to have disappeared, as they had disappeared from the strawberry field.
"There is a little bit of anxiety among the villagers. This has never been the case since we settled in the forest of silence."
There was a deep sense of sadness in his voice.
"Unfortunately, even though we know the way to the entrance of the Fairy World, we can't pass through it. So even if we were nervous, we had no choice but to wait."
"That's when we came to the village?"
"That's right."
Bardan asked, staring straight at me.
"Sihyeon, I sense a special energy from you. An energy that I can only feel from fairies. Can you pass through the entrance to the Fairy World?"
I couldn't answer immediately. I came looking for the entrance to the fairy world, but I wasn't sure if I could get through it.
Gyuri suddenly stepped forward in front of me.
"SIHYEON can do it, Popi!"
"Huh? Can I really go through the entrance?"
"You have our blessings, Popi!"
Bardan looked surprised at Gyuri's confident answer, and soon nodded.
"As expected, you're not an ordinary person."
"I was the one who brought him here."
Terzan gave Bardan a smug look.
"SIHYEON, are you going to go to the fairy world?"
"Well, I don't know what I can do, but I'll try to do my best."
"Alright. We'll help Sihyeon get to the entrance of the Fairy World."
"Really?"
"Of course. We'll gather all the talented people in the village to ensure a safe journey."
"Thank you so much for your help!"
When things went much better than I thought, I called for joy in my heart. The faces of the party have also become more comfortable.
TAP.
"I'll help you to the end, too."
Terzan tapped me on the shoulder with an expression that told me to trust only her.
"Thank you, Terzan. I'll pay you back for this."
"COUGH."
Bardan gave a small cough and focused his attention, looking at us who were all happy because things went well
"Hmm, but there's something I haven't told you yet."
"What's that?"
He opened his mouth with a heavy expression contrary to the atmosphere.
"There's a big problem in guiding Sihyeon to the entrance of the Fairy World."
"A big problem?"
"As I mentioned earlier, strange phenomena have been occurring in this forest, and one of them is related to guiding everyone to the entrance of the Fairy World."
"?"
"I don't know exactly why, but a demon beast has been guarding the entrance to the Fairy World for some time."
Bardan added in a slightly trembling voice.
"It's a very powerful demon beast that even scares experienced scouts."
