Chapter Title: The Yandere Fairy's Gaze is Strange
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"You want to look around the house?"
"A little?"
"Oh, no, I was just startled because it's so sudden. Of course I can show you the house."
"R-Really!?"
Unlike the Silver Fairy, who clapped her hands in delight, my mind grew complicated.
I cleaned fairly often for a guy living alone, but the place was usually tidied up haphazardly, and there were spots that weren't exactly organized, as expected from a bachelor's pad.
"How about cooling off in the cold bath for a bit?"
"...Huh?"
"While you do that, Silver Fairy, I'll head downstairs and prepare some snacks."
"Y-You're going to that much trouble?"
"F-First, I'll go down, get it ready, and call you."
I flashed a relaxed smile in front of the Silver Fairy, then quickly slipped out of the sauna room and hurried down the stairs.
My heart raced like a general bracing for battle.
The moment I got home, I grabbed the cleaning tools.
I decided to start with the most obvious messes.
Clothes tossed on the bed, various daily items scattered everywhere.
Just a quick scan made me sigh.
'Ha... Why am I so nervous about this?'
I took a deep breath and dove right in.
The living room first.
I straightened the scattered cushions one by one.
Then I picked up the papers and trash from the floor, shoving the pile of unwashed laundry into a hidden spot.
On top of that, I knocked out the dishes I'd put off until tomorrow in a flash.
'F-Fuck, this is exhausting.'
But I couldn't stop.
A clean image was better than a dirty one, right?
Thinking of the Silver Fairy coming over made me want to make it even cleaner.
I wiped my sweat for a moment, then flung open the windows for some ventilation.
The stuffy air in the house started to feel fresher bit by bit.
'If the Gold Fairy saw this, she'd fall over in shock.'
During the days I lived with the Gold Fairy, I'd only managed dishes—actual cleaning was rare.
Why?
She'd make me eat her out whenever she had a chance, day or night.
And on top of that...
My motivation to clean faded away.
The Gold Fairy was as messy as my ex-wife, Kang Jua.
She didn't even seem to grasp the concept of tidying up.
'...I tried splitting my time to clean at first.'
But when one person messes up and another cleans, who wears out first?
Obviously the cleaner.
So on the day the Gold Fairy left, I'd done a deep clean and let out a cheer of relief.
'Phew! Final step now?'
I grabbed the Febreze and sprayed it everywhere.
Living room sofa, curtains, and just to be safe, the bed sheets too.
A fresh scent filled the house, finally giving it a crisp feel.
After finishing everything, I sighed and wiped sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.
In that short time, I'd sweated more than in the sauna.
'Now for the food.'
I'd said I would, so I needed to make something.
Ideally, drinking snacks.
Alcohol loosens people up naturally.
Plus, the Silver Fairy seemed pure by nature—she'd probably get tipsy off just a little.
I could even look forward to some naughty developments later that night.
That's why I'd been thorough enough to Febreze the bed sheets.
'Cleaning took too much time, so something simple and quick...'
I checked the fridge, whipped up sausage veggie stir-fry in no time, then bounded up the stairs to the rooftop.
The first thing I saw up there was the Silver Fairy's plump, enticing ass.
A pose that almost begged for a backdoor pounding.
Turns out she was bending over to put on her pants.
"...Silver Fairy, everything's ready."
Just then, she finished getting ready to come down and gently brushed back her long hair.
"I'm so excited to see Haeseong's house."
"But you changed into a fresh sweat-absorbing outfit?"
"I sweated a ton in the sauna earlier, so I switched."
"Ah, got it! Come on down then."
We finally reached the front door, and as I opened it, the fresh Febreze scent hit our noses.
The Silver Fairy took a deep breath the moment she stepped in, her eyes sparkling.
"Wow! The house smells amazing!"
"Haha... Does it?"
The Silver Fairy always had this knack for making people feel good just by being herself.
She radiated an innocence the Gold Fairy lacked entirely.
"Oh, what's this?"
The Silver Fairy strode to the table and leaned slightly over the food.
Her voice brimmed with curiosity, her round eyes twinkling.
"Sausage veggie stir-fry—it's sweet and tangy!"
On the table, golden-brown sausages mingled with chopped bell peppers, onions, and carrots in vibrant colors.
After hearing the explanation, she brought her face even closer to the food.
Then she wrinkled her nose.
"Wow!! It smells so good!"
"Have a seat first."
I watched her wholesome reaction with a smile, then carefully pulled out a chair for her.
She sat down, face flushed.
It was a courtesy I'd never shown the Gold Fairy.
"Th-Thank you."
"No problem. Give it a try."
The Silver Fairy gingerly picked up a sausage with chopsticks, popped it in her mouth, chewed thoughtfully, and let out a gasp of delight.
"Wow... It's really delicious. But what's this? It's smaller than a water cup..."
Just like the Gold Fairy hadn't recognized beer, things were unfolding perfectly as I'd hoped.
I grinned and pulled soju from the fridge, placing it on the table.
"It's a drink that goes great with sausage veggie stir-fry and lifts your spirits."
"A d-drink that makes you feel good? Is this alcohol from the human world?"
"That's right. Do they have alcohol in the fairy realm?"
"We have something called Cloud Flower Wine. Just one sip makes you feel light as walking on clouds."
"Oho! Sounds tasty."
"If you're curious, I can bring some next time I visit."
"Looking forward to it! So, does Silver Fairy drink well?"
She blushed and scratched her cheek with a finger.
"Just... very occasionally, about two bottles of Cloud Flower Wine?"
I had no idea its proof, so her tolerance was still a mystery.
I chuckled softly and picked up the soju bottle.
"...Want to try a glass?"
"Sure."
I poured soju into a clear glass, pausing to savor the moment.
It was surreal—drinking alone with the Silver Fairy, in my own home.
I'd drunk with plenty of people before, but sitting across from a woman exuding such a beautiful aura, sharing a drink, was a first.
Clink—
As the clear liquid slid down her throat, she squeezed her eyes shut for a second.
Her face gradually flushed.
Her small lips twitched as she savored the sharp taste, then she lightly dabbed the corner of her mouth.
"H-How's the taste?"
"It's good...?"
"Is Cloud Flower Wine stronger?"
"Hmm, I wouldn't know about strength."
"Ah... Well, as long as it tastes good! Another round?"
"This time, let me pour for you, Haeseong."
"O! Perfect!"
Clink—
One glass turned to two, and the mood warmed up nicely.
Suddenly, the Silver Fairy noticed her face heating up and patted her cheek with the back of her hand.
"Silver Fairy, you okay? Your face is really red."
"I'm fine. I always get like this after one drink."
"Ah... Can you keep going?"
"Of course."
Clink—
Gradually, the drinking session heated up.
Two empty soju bottles sat on the table now, and I held the third, just about to open it.
As I twisted off the cap, I glanced at the Silver Fairy.
She tilted her head slightly, gazing at me with innocent eyes.
Her long lashes fluttered, clear energy sparkling in her pupils.
'Whoa... She's pretty normally, but with the booze kicking in, she's fucking gorgeous.'
Of course, the Gold Fairy was pretty too, and the Fable Fairy was cute, but everyone has their type, right?
The Silver Fairy was exactly mine.
♬♪♬
Lost in naughty fantasies of what the night might bring, as I poured the soju—
The doorbell rang suddenly.
I flinched instinctively and looked up.
It was late, so it threw me off even more.
I checked the wall clock: 1 a.m.
Who the hell visits at this hour?
"Silver Fairy, seems like someone's here. Mind waiting a sec?"
"Okay."
I approached the front door slowly, sensing movement from the other side.
♬♪♬
The doorbell rang again.
I took a small breath and spoke firmly without opening it.
"Who is it?"
A brief silence.
Then a soft woman's voice came from the other side.
"Hello. I just moved into the neighborhood yesterday and came to share some rice cakes. Could you open the door for a moment?"
