Chapter 34

As expected of the real one, different from my (fake) act as an innocent child. Because I am a (real) old soul inside.

"Miss Black Fairy, are you really a fairy?" Nemesio suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask about it? Did you don't believe me?" I asked him while making a hurt expression.

In my mind, I feel panic when I think that he realized about my lies. Why did he realise it?

"No, no, no. I believe that you are a fairy. But why can't I see your fairy wings? In every book that I read before, it always writes that a fairy has fairy wings on their back." He asked while looking at me with glowing eyes.

It was quite a lethal attack as it was a child's innocent that was combined with his natural cuteness. But luckily I have prepared my answers.

"Right now, I couldn't show it to you because I was being influenced by the magic. My current appearance is not my real appearance. Do you think that I look like a normal human child right now?" I answer him with the (fake) story that I have thought of before.

"Ah! So that's why you don't have fairy wings! But when you ask me like that, you certainly look like my little cousin. He was currently two years old. But he couldn't treat my wounds like how you did it yesterday. Oh right, is the medicine that you use yesterday is something that you make with your fairy power? It was a great medicine. Look, it didn't leave any traces of my injuries." Nemesio enthusiastically said as he try to show me the injuries that has disappeared without leaving any traces.

"That's right. But please keep it as our secret. I will get into trouble if you let other people know about it." I said while making a serious expression.

"Why?" Nemesio asked with a confused expression.

"Because there will be a lot of people that will come to capture me and the other fairy. I don't know what they will do to me if they capture me. They might hit me if I can't do what they are telling me to do. That's why I need to hide my existence." I said with a sad expression.

"Ah! Alright, alright. I won't tell anyone else about your existence in this place..., that's right! I won't talk about it again. Oh right, let's forget about it. Uh...right, how old are you? I forget to ask you about it but you are actually older than me, right?" Nemesio seems to be afraid that I will get angry or sad because of the previous topic and try to change the topic.

Maybe I should teach him that it was rude to ask a woman's age. It was a common sense in my previous life. But I think that most women would like to be seen as young as possible by others, especially in front of their loved ones.

"Before I answer your question, I want to tell you to never ask other girls' age because some of them might think that you are a rude person. And for your question about my age, you are right. I currently have been living for more than thirty years." I warn him and answer his question.

I did not lie to him as my answer is the truth if I add my previous live age. So mentally I was really much older than my appearance. It didn't count as lying, right?

"Wow! You have a similar age as my dad and mom! It was funny because right now you look like my little cousin. Did every fairy will turned into a little child if they were trapped in this magic?" Nemesio asks with a curious face.

"Hmm, I don't know if they will have similar looks but I think it would depend on how long they have lived. I was quite young if you compared me with the other fairy. Let's stop talking about the fairy. What do you want to do now?" I decided to change the topic.

It was troublesome to continue to make this kind of story. And I have to stop myself from making more fake stories. Looking at how he believes in my (fake) story, I am afraid that it might have some influence on his future. I don't want to feel guilty because of it.

"Hmm..., I don't know what to do. I just come to this place because I want to become your friend. Do you have any idea?" Nemesio said with a smile.

I don't expect he will answer me with such an answer. Well, that's quite a sweet answer. So I am thinking about how to help him with something that will be useful for his future.

"Then how about showing me what you have learned from your father? Didn't you say that he was a knight captain before? Did he teaches you anything?" I decided to check about what he has learned from his father before I help him.

"Wow! How could you know that my dad has reached me about our family secret technique? I will show you how to do it but please keep it as our secret." He said while putting his index finger in front of his mouth.

"I promise you that I will never say anything about it to another person or fairy," I promised him to keep it as a secret and make the same gestures.

"Hehehe, then it is a promise. I will show you now what I have learned from my dad. Watch carefully." He said it with a proud expression and started to show what he had learned from his father.

Watching his demonstration of his family's martial arts, surprised that I can understand about what kind of martial art it was. His movement is a bit clumsy but I could see that he spent quite a lot of time for training.

The martial art movement is a bit similar to the Aikido and Kendo movements that I had learned in my previous life. Maybe it was because it was a technique that was used by a knight with a sword. It was a basic movement of slashing horizontally, vertically and stabbing. Should I help him?

"Wow, it was a good move!" I decided to praise him first to make him more diligent with his training.

"Hehehe, I'm still unable to be as good as my dad." He shyly said while scratching his head.

"Then I will show you about the fairy skills," I said and started to show him the martial arts movements from my previous life.

I began to show him the basic sword movement and add the evading movement. It might look like a dance if it was being compared to the skills from this world.

As I finished my demonstration, I could hear Nemesio clapping his hands.

"Woah! Is it a fairy dance? But why did it look like what my father taught me?" At first, he was admiring my movements but then he realize that it was similar to the movements that he showed me.

"I made it similar to what you have shown me. Do you want to learn it?" I answered with a smile.

The martial arts in this world are too crude. Although his martial arts seem to be different from what I saw in the books, it still needs some help to get a more perfect form like the martial arts in my previous life.

The people in this world are too dependent on the Goddess's blessing. As a result, they did not try to improve or develop most of the skills that they could have like martial arts and science. The only thing that is able to be developed is the things that relate to magic.

"Un, it was more beautiful than my dad's move. It was like a beautiful dance." Nemesio nodded his head energetically.

"Alright, I will show you again with a slower movement. Try to follow my movement." I try to teach him as I tell him to follow my movements and began to show him with slower movements.

"I will try my best to learn it." Nemesio nodded and started to imitate my movement.

As I started to teach him the martial arts from my previous life, I realized that he has a talent for learning martial arts. But it was still not possible to learn it in such a short time.

We take a break from the training and eat some sweets. But the chocolates seem to be a surprise for him.

"What is this? It looks like the mud ball that I used to make when I'm playing in my house garden." Nemesio took the chocolate and asked.

"It was delicious food. That one is milk chocolate. If you like something sweet then you will like it too. But don't take the darker one because it was bitter." I give him some of the milk chocolate and warned him to not try the dark chocolate. Even if it was not the 90% but 70% chocolates, it might be too bitter for a little kid like him.

After listening to my words, he timidly licked the milk chocolate and then he put it into his mouth.

"What is this? It melts in my mouth and it tastes so sweet!" Nemesio enjoyed the chocolates with an expression as if he was melting with the deliciousness of the chocolates.

"It's almost lunchtime. Do you have to go back to your parents?" I look out at the window in my room and asked.

"Oh no, I have promised to my mom that I will be back before lunch. I need to go back first. See you later, Miss Black Fairy!" Nemesio said as he started running back to meet his parents.

I was looking at him as he started to disappear from my sight.

"Ohohoho, when did you become 'Miss Black Fairy'? How can I never know about it?" Sister Ancelina said with a teasing tone.

Suddenly Sister Ancelina appears. She was hiding near my room when she heard another person's voice in my room and accidentally heard what Nemesio said when he leaves.

'Oh my goodness, it was really embarrassing. I really regret to lie at him.'
