"Well, the scan you did was for fairies in this area, right? Then maybe she was just the only one," Nana suggested.

Sanguina shook her head. "No—"

Another boom echoed from afar, causing both of them to look in the direction of the sound. Sanguina continued, "No, the issue is that when scanning this area, there has never been a trace of a fairy ever being in this pond or forest."

Nana frowned. "Did this creature ever call herself a fairy by chance?"

"Why do you ask?" Nana said, putting a finger on her cheek.

"The way you've talked about this creature and the accounts I got from people in this kingdom all tell a story of a bubbly figure that does everything a fairy should," Sanguina explained.

Nana looked thoughtful. "Well… I think Ty was the one to call her a fairy first because honestly, I didn't know what a fairy was until he told me."
