Reborn as an Extra Chapter 624: The Airhead Twins, Lyria and Miria. Part-4.

[The Kingdom of Fairies... Adonis... who would have thought this dungeon could recreate the echoes of such an ancient, vanished era...]

'Adonis?... I've never come across any records of a kingdom by that name in historical texts...'

To secure a spot among the academy's top 10 students each year, Lia had delved into countless history volumes.

Yet, despite her vast knowledge of monsters and past events, she remained utterly clueless about this mysterious Kingdom of Fairies.

Everyone knows fairies reside in a hidden realm safeguarded by Dragon Valley, complete with their own monarchs and nobility, but no texts ever spoke of a realm solely for the fairy kind.

[Naturally, you're unaware of it... even the World Alliance might be in the dark, much less someone like you...]

[Indeed, the Kingdom of Fairies, Adonis, thrived in an era where the dream of a united world was nothing more than legend!]

Those revelations made Lia's eyes widen in utter astonishment and incredulity!

For almost two thousand years, the World Alliance has stood firm, forged initially by 'King' Allen and 'The Goddess of Life and Cure,' Astra!

Therefore, mentioning the time before the Alliance's birth points straight to over 2000 years in the past!!

To put it simply, this dungeon has somehow revived the long-forgotten happenings from two full millennia back, when the World Alliance was yet to form and the earliest demi-gods were only beginning to emerge across the lands.

'So, you're saying the Kingdom of Fairies, Adonis, fell into ruin ages ago, leaving fairies as rootless nomads hunted down wherever they went...'

[Truth be told, humans and this world barely caught my interest back then, so my details are fuzzy, but I recall Astra stepping in to shield the fairy folk...]

[Without her intervention, the fairies would have vanished during that millennium-long conflict; it was only after her departure that demons began their merciless slaughter of them...]

[That onslaught eventually drove them to seek refuge under the Dragon Valley's watchful guard...]

'Books do mention how demons razed numerous kingdoms and decimated various races, pushing the world to band together against the threat and birth the World Alliance...'

'Perhaps 'Adonis' met its end at the hands of demons right before the Alliance came into being...'

Right as Kai prepared to share more insights on 'Adonis' history with Lia, Miria folded her arms across her chest and declared with evident pride.

"See! I warned you! You're a royal fairy! Only true 'Fairies' can breach this formidable barrier! Everyone else ends up trapped in a dreadful realm of terrifying nightmares!"

"That barrier is truly terrifying!"

With a quick flick of her finger to her sister's forehead, Lyria silenced Miria and added,

"Don't speak of that barrier so lightly... it's shielded us for countless years!"

Brushing off Miria's feigned wince of pain, Lyria turned to address Lia directly.

"Ignore that scatterbrain's chatter... she's forever acting childish, but it's absolutely true that the barrier admits only fairies..."

"Thus, there's no need to stay wary of us... we've recognized you as a royal fairy, and we hold you in the highest regard..."

At those words, Lia found herself at a loss for an appropriate response.

'How did I slip past that illusion barrier without falling into its trap, especially since I'm no fairy?... this is baffling...'

[That's peculiar... as a divine spirit bound closely to your soul, I would have detected any fairy lineage within you immediately...]

[Yet strangely, you bear no connection to fairies whatsoever; you're simply an ordinary human like the rest. So why did the illusion barrier allow your passage?]

Kai himself struggled to explain this enigma and felt equally perplexed.

"This spot is secure... now we can unwind and discuss matters freely!"

Bursting with joy, Miria leaped about before plopping down contentedly on a oversized blade of grass, perfect for her tiny frame!

Composed largely of elementals and mana, fairies possess little physical mass, allowing Miria to lounge on any ordinary grass blade as if it were a luxurious bed!

Observing Miria's idle lounging, Lyria called out sternly.

"We must still locate a proper seat for the Royal Fairy! How could she settle on the ground like we do?"

Lia shook her head at Lyria's concern, gently placing the miniature golem and plump cat onto the grass before easing herself down as well.

The verdant grass felt plush like a welcoming pillow, the views were breathtaking, and gentle breezes wafted by now and then, lifting everyone's spirits. Lia relished the chance to sit and unwind here.

"Please don't fret over me... and you don't have to keep calling me a royal fairy... just use 'Lia,' and I'll address you as Lyria and Miria going forward!"

"Let's be friends!"

To seal their budding friendship, Lia extended her pinky finger toward the pair of diminutive beings.

Miria eagerly grasped Lia's finger with her tiny hands in delight, though Lyria paused momentarily,

"But royal fairies possess such immense power... can frail fairies like us truly befriend you?"

Lia affirmed with a nod, retrieving a assortment of candies from her space ring.

"Absolutely, we can be friends! Here, have these... think of them as tokens from a friend..."

"No need to prepare any meals for me... I've got more than enough supplies..."

The enticing aroma from the treats Lia had stored in her space ring—intended originally for Riya—captivated the two little fairies, who found the allure irresistible!

Even the previously reluctant Lyria accepted without further ado, forging an instant friendship with Lia!

'Sweets truly are the ultimate way to win hearts, hehe~'

Succumbing to the bribe of treats, Lyria and Miria promptly revealed every secret to Lia without the slightest reluctance!
