Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

At the same time, a group of four adventurers led by a young fairy was heading towards the palace. They kept talking on the way, and the content of the topic this time also showed considerable enthusiasm.

"Who is that kid? Not only does he have a fairy ship, he can even tame fairies. I'm really interested." The eyes of the petite fairy girl Jill sparkled.

Her aqua blue short ponytail danced, as if expressing Jill's mood.

"Although I understand your feelings, I think you should still look ahead." The advice of Oliver, a tall orc youth walking side by side with her, made Jill immediately look displeased.

Jill hit Oliver's body, hoping that he would react, but Oliver was wearing heavy armor and was not affected at all. He scratched his short dark brown hair with a very irritated expression.

Finally, Jill stopped banging and looked forward with an angry expression: "Oliver is so rigid... Hey, Russell, don't you think this is funny?"

The young elf man named Russell who was walking in front thought for a moment and answered Jill's question with a calm expression: "It's not that I don't think so... but at least now, I agree with Oliver's opinion."

"Yeah! Even Russell! Why do you all think so?"

To Jill, who complained loudly, Russell said calmly while shaking his tied-up blond hair: "Think about it. We are walking towards the palace. Even if it's not like that, I think it's a matter of course to maintain appropriate manners."

"Well... that's true, but..." Although Jill wanted to refute, she couldn't find the right words. At this time, the girl walking side by side with Jill delivered a fatal blow.

"Jill lost. You never beat Russell."

"Even Alicia..." Jill looked at the half-long-haired girl Alicia with a resentful expression, "As a girl from the same fairy tribe, I thought you would understand me..."

“Is it really that serious?” Alicia said with a wry smile as she ran her hands through her fluffy emerald green hair.

By the way, although they are from the same fairy tribe, Alicia is a half-fairy to be exact. She is a hybrid between fairy tribe and human, and one of her characteristics is that her ears are slightly shorter than those of pure fairy Jill.

Decades ago, half-bloods were often the target of bullying, but now half-bloods and quarter-bloods are not uncommon, and Alicia herself has extensive interactions with the goblins, led by Jill, and other races.

Because of this, Alicia formed a team with Russell and Jill from the elves, and Oliver from the orcs. So far, being mixed-blood has never been a bad shackle.

Now, Alicia even openly reveals that she is half-fairy.

"Okay, we're almost at the palace, let's tidy up our appearance. Although Ms. Melni is here, we are outsiders after all." Russell said this, and Oliver seemed to suddenly remember something.

"By the way, the royal palace of this country allows civilians to enter and exit. It is really quite open."

"This shows that the relationship between the royal family and the common people is good. Isn't this what a good country looks like?" Russell said with a smile, and Oliver and the others nodded in agreement.

They entered the palace, mixed with soldiers, wizards, and civilian children who were rushing to work in the palace. As they walked through the ornately decorated hall, a woman hurriedly approached them.

"Ms. Melny, are you here to greet us?"

"Yes. I heard yesterday that everyone would come to the palace to play. I would like to take this opportunity to join you." They were greeted by a fairy woman named Melni.

She is the court mage of the Kingdom of Sforia, and this time she is on a business trip to the Kingdom of Santono. Normally, there is one court mage in each kingdom, but the characteristic of the orcs is that mages are extremely rare, which is also a problem.

Therefore, from generation to generation, the two countries of Santono and Sforia have sent fairy magicians on business trips to the Kingdom of Santono, and in exchange, they give priority to trade relations such as specialties.

The court mage who was on a business trip would be changed regularly, and this time it was Melni who was chosen. Russell and the other four were on a special mission to protect Melni and accompany her to the Kingdom of Santono.

"By the way, yesterday's welcome was so grand. They treated me like a goddess? I'm just an ordinary court mage... What do people expect from me?"

"...Ms. Melni, are you serious? When you were in the Kingdom of Sforia, your popularity was incredible." Jill said with an incredulous expression at Melni's apparent lack of self-awareness.

Melni is a very outstanding person both in appearance and in character.

In fact, in the Kingdom of Sforia, she was very popular among the people and the guild, and everyone asked her not to go on this business trip.

But because it involved exchanges between countries, King Sforia had to persuade the people and the Guild to make this trip possible.

This, by the way, was a fairly common sight in the Kingdom of Sforia, and was well known in other countries, but Melni himself was completely unaware of it.

"Well, speaking of popularity, you guys are not bad, right? Especially Russell, the rumors about you have even spread to the palace. Girls' gossip is really scary, whether it's good or bad, it's easy to spread."

“Hey, what does that feel like? I really want to know!”

"I'm curious too. Although I can roughly guess..."

Melny, Jill, and Oliver all focused their attention on Russell. All three of them smiled as if they had seen something interesting, but Russell felt a chill.

He thought that if the silence continued, something bad would happen, so Russell quickly interrupted and tried to stop the conversation from continuing.

"Wait, wait a minute. Since Ms. Melny has come out to greet us, we can't just stand here and do nothing. That would be rude, right? Stop chatting. We should move quietly. Right, Alicia, can you say something too?"

Russell had no doubt that Alicia would understand and stop them. She was gentle and compassionate, and she would stop them.

but--

“I’m actually quite interested. So, please tell me.”

“How…how could this happen…!” Russell opened his mouth wide in the face of such an unhesitating statement.

At this moment, Oliver smiled gently, slowly approached Russell, and patted his shoulder gently: "Give it up, Russell. Accept the reality calmly."

"Yes, maybe it's a good rumor."
