Volume 4, Chapter 7 – Disappearance

Genesis Era? Wasn’t that the world setting of a prequel to [Ragnarök]? Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Ignoring this point, Yisi continued to explain.

“If only one of us can speak directly to the outside world, it will be very troublesome for the one who can only stay inside the body. It’s like how you want to talk to Refina now, but you can only do it by having me pass on the message. So I thought of this item.”

“In other words, as long as I enter this doll’s body, I can give orders to Refina?”

Edith’s voice had a thoughtful feel to it.

“That’s right. Do you want to try it?”

Yisi shook the Magical Fairy in her hand. Although it was only the size of a palm, the Magical Fairy was dressed very beautifully, wearing a long white gown with gold borders like a magic robe.

It also had a pair of gorgeous metal butterfly wings on its back. Combined with its long eyelashes and white hair, its lifelike appearance gave the impression that it could open its eyes at any moment.

For some reason, Edith suddenly laughed.

“Hehe. The trap is so obvious that it makes me feel like you’re not lying. Are you serious? If this is a trap, the moment my soul enters it, I would be immediately strangled to death, and you wouldn’t have to share the same body with me anymore.”

It was a natural question. If Yisi were in Edith’s position, she would have definitely refused immediately.

Yisi shrugged helplessly.

“The choice is yours. It’s fine if you don’t want to use it. If I were you, I would have the same concerns.”

Silence.

So she doesn’t want to use it, right?

Yisi couldn’t help but smile wryly. No one would joke with their own life, especially when they weren’t at a point where they would definitely die if they didn’t take a gamble.

Holding the Magical Fairy in her hand, Yisi prepared to put it into her storage.

“Huh?”

—Storage failed.

The Magical Fairy was still in her hand.

—She calmed down and tried again.

It was still in her hand.

“No way…”

Yisi frowned, looking at the Magical Fairy that was sleeping peacefully with its eyes closed. Since she could take it out of her storage, she should definitely be able to put it back in.

It was at this moment that the Magical Fairy’s eyes suddenly opened.

“What are you doing?”

“Yikes!”

She abruptly threw the Magical Fairy away.

The sight of a lifeless object suddenly becoming animated startled Yisi, just like a character in a painting suddenly blinking.

The Magical Fairy that had been thrown out didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, it forcefully flapped its metal, red crystal-like butterfly wings and floated up from the ground.

“Did it work…? It seems you weren’t lying. This body isn’t bad. I can feel the disgusting light elements approaching me. I might even be able to try light magic now.”

The Magical Fairy, which had suddenly started talking, examined its own body, then stretched out its limbs. Its white hair and red eyes, combined with the long white dress that revealed its smooth arms, gave off a very pure impression.

“It even perfectly recreated the five senses… Is it really a divine automaton?”

Finally, Yisi realized the reason the Magical Fairy had come to life—it was Edith.

“Hey, hey… You actually tried it.”

“What’s wrong? Did you think I was some kind of coward? Or do you think I trust you too much? Words can lie, but emotions transmitted from the heart don’t. Since we are in the same body, I can feel any negative emotion you have. That’s how I knew you weren’t lying to me.”

Although she was only a palm-sized fairy, Edith, who was floating in front of Yisi, exuded an air of noble dignity and grace. Edith seemed to really like the Magical Fairy’s body. As she spoke, she meticulously stroked her own arm.

“My skin—it’s a hard texture, as expected. But since the purpose is to be able to communicate with others, I won’t make any special demands for now. However.” The Count’s eldest daughter suddenly looked at Yisi. “I still want half of the body’s control.”

“No. I will hand over a portion to you depending on the situation. I’ve been thinking about how to give you half control. It seems now I can divide the day into two parts. There are more than twelve hours of daylight activity. You can take six hours after waking up, and the rest is all mine. Of course, you can choose when to use those six hours yourself.”

“Six hours? Are you kidding me?”

The Magical Fairy that Edith was in showed obvious dissatisfaction. It was worth noting that Yisi could still feel the emotions coming from Edith. The telepathy had not vanished just because Edith’s soul had left.

So Edith hasn’t truly left me… I remember that Type II Magical Fairies cannot move more than ten meters away from the body. If they exceed that range, the Magical Fairy will become inactive. This means that if Edith gets too far from me, her soul will return to the body on its own. A world full of magic, as expected.

Yisi had already guessed that Edith would be unhappy. She suppressed the secret joy in her heart and maintained a serious expression.

“Edith, your goal right now is to deal with the imposter, right? When you meet the Pescia Count, I’ll give you more time.”

“Hmph, don’t try to change the subject. I can feel your current emotions. If you want to laugh, just show it on your face. Don’t try to hide it.”

“…Although there are 24 hours in a day, after removing necessary activities like sleeping and eating, there are less than 14 hours left. Six hours is already a lot.”

“Then reduce your sleep time. You won’t die from not sleeping for a day.”

“I can’t not sleep every day. Don’t forget this body belongs to you. If you damage it, you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself.”

When Yisi brought out her trump card, Edith’s lips twitched and she clicked her tongue in annoyance.

“Hmph.”

She then slowly flapped her wings, flying back and forth in the carriage—she was probably getting familiar with the body. To be honest, because the Magical Fairy was so small, Edith looked very cute right now.

After watching Edith try for a long enough time, Edith finally seemed to get tired. She stopped on Yisi’s head and began to examine Yisi’s wings and cat ears.

“Are you a dragon-kin or a beastkin?”

“I don’t know either. This is an effect of [Third Form Awakening].”

“Where is Ouranos’s corpse?”

“Ouranos?”

For a moment, Yisi didn’t know what Edith was talking about. She tilted her head, almost flinging Edith off her head. Holding onto Yisi’s cat ear, Edith stood upright again and pressed for an answer.

“I became what I am now because I forcibly took Ouranos’s corpse. Since the corpse is not in my storage magic, it must be with you. That is my property.”

“Ah, so that’s what happened.”

If Edith hadn’t mentioned it, Yisi would probably have just forgotten about Ouranos’s corpse. Yisi shifted her attention to her storage. Ever since she had collected the lava and snow pile, her storage had become a mess.

I remember putting Ouranos’s corpse here…

Following her memory, she searched for Ouranos’s corpse. Then, Yisi froze in front of Edith.

The corpse was gone.

Following that.

Boom, boom, boom—

A violent tremor and a loud bang, as if a giant rock had been thrown into the ground, interrupted their conversation.
