Volume 4, Chapter 6 – The Magical Fairy

“Besides me, there’s someone else impersonating you?”

Although she knew this way of putting it was problematic, it was the most straightforward way to ask.

“Would I lie? Only those who are afraid to face their own actions would lie.”

Edith’s voice was filled with contempt.

“But you just entered the Pescia Territory, right? Did Refina tell you?”

“That’s right. Thanks to you having Refina send that Imperial lackey to my father, Refina saw the imposter sitting next to my father. In order to salvage the situation, Refina immediately came back to look for me. Although you used my body to do many meaningless things, this one point is not bad.”

Edith raised her eyes, and her long, white eyelashes moved as well. The emotion she transmitted was approval.

“So that’s why you want control of the body, to go and deal with that imposter?”

“Of course. This is something that I must do, and only I can accomplish. To dare to use the noble name of Loiswell to perform such lowly deeds, I will make her experience the most excruciating torment in the world. And, besides me, no one else in this world is allowed to enjoy my father’s affection. My father is a being that belongs only to me.”

Should I say that a daddy complex is truly terrifying?

This was probably due to the doting love the Pescia Count had for Edith, indulging her every whim. Edith had lost her mother at a very young age, and the Pescia Count was the person in the world who loved her the most. This was how Edith’s cruel and obsessive personality was formed.

What should I say… I feel like this deviates from my impression of her in the memories. Judging from the conversation just now, Edith isn’t someone who won’t listen to anything at all.

The reason Yisi had previously considered Edith’s personality to be utterly tyrannical was perhaps because she had seen too many cruel scenes all at once, making her first impression of Edith extremely bad and consequently ignoring her rational side.

If I were to redefine Edith, she would be a willful and obsessive, arrogant and cruel girl. Her good points are that she is too arrogant to lie, and at the same time, she is not stingy with her praise for people.

Of course, because she holds herself in such high regard, the slightest thing that displeases her will result in her giving out punishment. And this punishment is often something that ordinary people cannot accept, making her seem tyrannical and inhuman.

Furthermore, Yisi was a little confused. According to Edith’s statement, Edith was angry because the imposter used her name to give orders and enjoyed the Pescia Count’s affection. If you count it, Yisi had also used her name to give orders to Refina. But Edith hadn’t really shown any hatred towards her.

Sensing the confusion coming from Yisi’s mind, Edith let out a soft snort.

“Hmm? Do you have any more doubts?”

“No… none.”

No matter what, she couldn’t ask Edith to her face why she wasn’t angry. Their relationship hadn’t reached that level yet. Yisi changed the subject.

“So, your goal is to reclaim your position, is that right?”

“And this body. Everything that has the Pescia label on it should belong completely to me. You are just an outsider; you should go back to where you came from.”

Which means finding a way for both of us to exist independently, right?

Although her words were very harsh, a truly willful young lady would probably scream, “Get out of my body right now!” In a way, Edith was much easier to communicate with than those brainless noble youths. As long as their interests were aligned, they could sit down and talk things out properly.

The reason Yisi was thinking in such a third-person perspective was that she had an abundance of confidence. No matter what Edith said, the final decision was in her hands. It was like how a kitten, no matter how much it flailed about in front of a human, was still just a kitten.

With a light huff in her throat, Yisi, sitting in the carriage, crossed her fingers.

“Just for the sake of a hypothesis, if you drive out that imposter—”

“There is no hypothesis. This is a fact that is about to happen.”

Originally, Yisi wanted to state in advance that after driving out the imposter, she wouldn’t use Edith’s body to enjoy a noble life and stay in the Pescia Territory. However, this topic was not suitable for a discussion right now. Yisi directly moved on to the next topic.

“Then let’s talk about how to get you to control the body.”

“What were you going to say just now?”

“Something not so important.”

“You’re lying—never mind. So, how can I take control of the body?”

Knowing that Edith didn’t want to regain control just to torment the weak, Yisi felt relieved.

“Well, this is just my guess. In a moment, I will remove the barrier that’s blocking you, and you can try to take control of the body. Of course, I will lower my control over the body during this process. If even that doesn’t work, I don’t have any other way.”

After all, Edith was completely confined because Yisi’s spiritual power was too strong, to the point of completely crushing Edith. Therefore, as long as Yisi lowered her control over the body, Edith might be able to take control.

“Let’s not delay; let’s start now.”

“Wait, before that, there’s one more thing I want to try.”

As she spoke, Yisi took out a doll from her storage that was about the size of an adult’s palm. It had exceptionally delicate facial features and limbs, with even the toes and eyelashes carved lifelike. If it weren’t for the obvious joint marks at the limbs, no one would have doubted if it was a fairy.

Since she couldn’t see what was happening on the outside, Edith naturally became impatient.

“What are you going to try? I don’t think anything is more important than me controlling the body.”

[Mental Interference Nullification: Deactivate]

“Hmm?”

The moment the barrier vanished, Edith let out a small gasp, then asked in a hasty voice.

“What did you do? Why can I see the outside now?”

“Just to make our conversation easier, I removed the barrier that was blocking you. Can you see this thing in my hand now?”

Yisi focused her gaze on the doll in her hand. This was an item from [Ragnarök] called a Magical Fairy. In [Ragnarök], Magical Fairies were a very common type of animated doll used to assist players in combat. When a player casts magic to fight monsters, the Magical Fairy would also cast magic to attack the monster.

Additionally, players could also possess a Magical Fairy when necessary, for example, to slip into special terrain for reconnaissance, or to deal with monsters that had extremely high resistance to the player’s own attributes. In those moments, the Magical Fairy would become the main damage dealer.

Therefore, the Magical Fairy was also called the “Best Partner.” Some players even preferred to dress up their Magical Fairies in pretty clothes and enhance them, rather than enhancing themselves, and then they would become the Magical Fairy themselves to fight whenever they encountered a monster.

Yisi naturally had such a thing in her collection. The one in her hand now was a Magical Fairy Type II, the light magic-specialized version.

“I didn’t expect you to have an interest in collecting dolls.”

“No, no, this isn’t an ordinary doll. Let me check something first…”

The Magical Fairy used the magic core inside it as its power source. As long as a player’s consciousness sank into the magic core, they could observe the world through the Magical Fairy’s perspective, which was equivalent to having another body.

I wonder if it would have the same effect in this different world.

“The magic core seems to be intact, and it lights up when I inject mana… I just don’t know if a consciousness can go inside…”

Should I try it myself? Or should I let Edith do it? If I try it myself, it would be bad if my consciousness couldn’t return to my body, but if I let Edith do it, she would face the same danger.

Edith, who didn’t know Yisi’s inner thoughts, frowned slightly.

“I can feel that this doll is craving me.”

“This is an item called a Magical Fairy. In my hometown, people could place their souls into a Magical Fairy and use it to talk to people or fight.”

“Interesting. I’ve never heard of such a thing. Although it’s a doll, its craftsmanship far surpasses any artisan in the Pescia Territory. Is this a divine automaton passed down from the Genesis Era?”
