Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Before that, they would also say:

"Bawan Xi, we are all your good friends, you must come back!"

Unfortunately, by this time Favia had already arrived in the English Highlands, and due to the obstruction of the hunters' organization, there were no more people passing by in the vicinity.

So when Bavan Shi came up empty-handed that day, she cried, and after she finished crying, she went back.

At first, the fairies didn't say much, but after several days of fruitless work, they started to bully the fairy again.

“Bavan Shi, you’re a monster.”

Along with a loud popping sound, like air exploding, Bawan Xi felt a sudden, burning pain in her cheeks and ears, which she couldn't cover.

"Yes, you're completely useless. Why are you with us? Or rather, why are you even alive?"

"It's always so disgusting, it stinks to death."

"You are not a princess. I have never seen such a disgusting princess in the human world."

"What a freak."

Even now, Bawan Xi still has no intention of resisting, because she is afraid of being abandoned and terrified of being disliked.

She thought seriously, "If only I could replace the part below my feet."

Bavan Shi has thought about it countless times: in this way, his ugly body, stupid brain, and gloomy personality will surely change.

"We're giving you one last chance. If you still can't get anything from humans, we'll cut off your legs next time. You'll come back, right? We're friends."

"Yes, it's all for your own good."

"Good friend, good friend."

"We're partners."

Then, after Bawan Shi had once experienced a pain that felt like she was being torn apart, she went to the hunter's hut in a daze.

As soon as she entered, she was startled by a strange scream from some unknown source. In addition, she saw words formed by ants and words that appeared out of nowhere on the wall. These eerie signs, which had no magical response, terrified her and made her want to go back as soon as possible.

Just then, it started to rain.

Normally, this kind of rain would be completely insignificant to a fairy, but for some reason, she suddenly leaned against the door of the hut.

It was as if his mind had gone blank, staring blankly at the ever-changing surface of the water. Raindrops pattered into the puddles reflecting the night sky, and the ripples collided with each other, soon disappearing as if melting away.

In that small reflection, she saw once again herself, covered in filth, her eyes like caverns, both dark and empty.

Therefore, I cried loudly.

"The human world is so terrifying... I'll never come here again..."

Just like these unfolding ripples, it seems as if it could disappear at any moment.

"But if I don't have money... then everyone will bully me again... and won't play with me anymore..."

A cold wind blew through the chilly night, causing the fairy girl to shiver. Her icy hands rubbed her shoulders repeatedly.

The rain that fell in the dead of night was so cold that each drop could freeze you to the bone. Compared to the cold rain, something warm was much better. In that instant, Bawan Xi suddenly remembered the princess and her family happily eating around the table in the storybooks of the past, a life that seemed so blissful.

But that was a world she had no connection with.

It's so cold, the human world is incredibly cold.

Bawan Shi hugged her shoulders and huddled even tighter around herself.

His hands unconsciously reached up to his bare feet, and then, as if he wanted to crush them, he squeezed them with force.

She knew perfectly well that her actions were pointless, but now she couldn't help but do them.

If it doesn't rain, things should be better, right? Maybe then we'll get money from humans, everyone will be happy, and that would be good for me too.

Just then, she noticed that the rain falling on her shoulders had suddenly stopped.

Could it be that the rain has stopped...? No! Humans have come by!

Sensing the approach of humans, Bavan Shi held her breath for a moment, but then looked up as if gazing at the night sky.

Who is it...?

The red-haired fairy girl had intended to ask in a low voice, but only a few breaths escaped from her parched throat.

"you--"

The silver-haired boy who suddenly appeared raised his right arm and reached out to Bavan Shi.

The fairy girl's eyes followed his every move as if watching in slow motion. At the same time, her heart skipped a beat, and she reflexively closed her eyes tightly, unconsciously curling up her body and protecting her head with her arms.

The next instant, Bawan Shi remembered that this was a human, not a fairy companion, so she probably wouldn't hit her, and quickly withdrew her defensive measures.

"Would you like to come inside and warm up by the fire?"

But the human did not react angrily to Bavan Shi's actions; he simply gave a response that seemed perfectly natural.

"Um.....……...."

The red-haired fairy stared blankly at the silver-haired human she was meeting for the first time, her mouth agape.

Despite the eerie and terrifying situation, the fairy girl felt no fear whatsoever.

I was a little surprised and uneasy, but what was quite incredible was that I wasn't afraid at all.

Why? The unspoken question stuck in the fairy's throat.

"After all, it's so cold, it would be troublesome if you got sick."

That's what Favia said.

201: Really, not at all (4k5)

The rekindled campfire in the hunter's lodge shone brightly amidst the endless downpour in the Scottish Highlands.

As Favia led her into the hunter's hut, Bavan Shi felt the warmth of the flames for the first time in a long time. But perhaps because of what had happened before, the fairy girl kept her head down, touched her shoulder with her hand, and remained silent.

Favia stared at her.

Bawan Shi's hair was wet from the rain and stuck to her temples. You could see many bruises on her face that hadn't healed yet. Her rain-drenched hair also showed signs of split ends and dryness from not taking care of it for a long time.

The silver-haired boy glanced at the scar on her neck out of the corner of his eye as he stood up and said:

"I'm sorry I scared you just now."

Upon hearing this, Bawan Xi raised her head shakily, her eyes, as deep as caverns, revealing her bewilderment.

"The mysterious creature crying you heard when you came in, and the writing that suddenly appeared on the wall, were all my doing. I just wanted to scare you and make you leave."

Bawan Xi buried her chin in her arms, staring blankly at the words that had appeared on the wall when she entered: "You're finished. You'll die if you don't leave here in three days." After a moment of contemplation, she slowly said:

"But...there's no magic...reaction..."

It was only then that Favia noticed the fairy girl's voice was slightly hoarse and sounded unpleasant. Perhaps it was because something had cut her throat and it hadn't been healed yet. He hadn't noticed it earlier because of the rain and her loud crying.

After sighing, Favia got up and walked to the corner of the hut, took out a tortoise and a hedgehog that were there, and then fed the hedgehog sugar water in front of her. The hedgehog then made a sound similar to a child crying.

The text that appeared on the wall was created using a tortoise and carbon ink.

In most people's minds, medieval scholars used quill pens to write.

In fact, it is true.

From ancient Rome to the Middle Ages, every educated person knew how to use a quill pen and how to make it.

Since the 12th century, Europeans have said that the best quills are made from the fifth feather from the wingtip of a goose or swan.

The soul of a quill pen is its ink. In the Middle Ages, there were many methods for making ink, but only two completely different types of ink.

The first type is carbon ink, and the second type is metallic ink.

In addition, just as in modern times, medieval scholars would use red ink to correct errors in texts, thereby warning later readers.

"How terrifying, humans..."

Bavan Shi muttered to herself. She had been terrified by this series of actions that had no magical reaction before, which was why she wanted to run back as soon as possible. Even after Favia explained it to her face, she was still afraid of the human world that could do this without using magic.

"that......"

As the warm flames enveloped her body, the fairy girl recalled that she should thank the person who helped her, at least that's what the human storybooks said when they drifted into the fairy realm.

In other words, she realized she should thank the human who had brought her in.

Despite never having had such an experience in the fairy world before, Bawan Shi still came up with the idea.

It's possible that Favia did not directly harm her, nor did she scold or despise her.

"Thanks......"

But she found that her tongue was once again getting tied up, just like when she wanted to refuse the fairies' requests.

Why can't I say it with a beautiful voice and a more generous attitude?

Overwhelmed by fear and panic, she couldn't help but raise her head, wanting to steal a glance at this human being who was completely unfamiliar to her.

Then Bawan Shi noticed that he seemed to be staring at something on her body, and following his gaze, she discovered that it was the deer hoof that had brought her 'misfortune'. It had originally been covered by her long dress, but now it was accidentally exposed.

The fairy girl was instantly awakened, remembering that a long time ago, everyone had found it strange because her heels looked like deer hooves.

Did she hate the demons when they beat and humiliated her?

No, on the contrary, she felt that everyone did this as a matter of course, and that if she were them, she would probably do the same.

She instinctively covered her feet with her hands, then squeezed them frantically as if she wanted to crush them.

Hiding something that would make everyone who sees it uncomfortable is a habit Bavanshi has had since she was 'sensible' all these years.

The thought that this human might end up like the fairies made Bawan Shi, whose cheek had recently been slapped by a fairy, suddenly throbbed with pain without her even realizing it.

It was as if the fairies were appearing before her eyes, scolding her for not forgetting who she was and for not having any self-awareness... such pain.

"I...I understand...I'll leave...Don't hit me...I'll go..."

The fairy girl spoke very cautiously, because in her opinion, she was not good-looking, had no personality, and no brains. She had nothing worthy of being liked, and it was only natural that anyone would beat and insult her if they saw anything special about her.

Perhaps fearing that the noise she made would displease Favia, she carefully avoided making a sound on the floor of the cabin as she prepared to leave.

At this moment, the cabin was very quiet, the only sounds being the rain hitting the windows and the campfire burning.

The fairy girl, who was being careful not to make a sound, inadvertently shifted her gaze slowly towards the window, where her own reflection came into view.

His face was covered in bruises, with obvious scars on his throat and the corners of his mouth. His hair was not only messy but also filthy, and his eyes were dull and empty.

...Indeed, if I were you, I would probably do the same.

The fairy girl closed her eyes, turned her face away, and walked gently toward the door.

However, no matter how much she looked away, the face that came into view was already clearly imprinted in her mind.

The thought that I actually didn't want to be pitied was quite funny.

She couldn't help but keep thinking that it would be great if she could really become a princess in a human storybook, or even if she wasn't a princess... She had thought about it a thousand times over, because if she could, her ugly face, stupid brain, and gloomy personality would definitely change.

However, such a thing is impossible; thinking about it will only cause more pain.

I think... I should just have my legs chopped off, then everyone can... be together properly...

Bawan Shi's eyes misted over, but she forced herself to remain silent, not wanting to displease the human who had seen her special features.

Sorrow washed over her like waves, and she felt as if her throat was blocked, making it impossible to breathe.

"I said so."

The voice suddenly rang out beside her, startling Bawan Xi, who instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

She then discovered that the silver-haired human who should have been by the campfire was standing a few steps behind her.

He tilted his head slightly, and it looked like he was smiling.

I'm going to get hit, please don't hit me, I'll never come again...

Bawan Shi wanted to beg for mercy because everyone had been laughing while beating her, and then they forced her to smile even though she was in pain.

So when she senses she might be beaten, she can't help but put on a fawning smile.

"Now this rain—"
