Chapter Title: The Yandere Fairy's Gaze is Strange
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Y-Yeah!"
The Fable Fairy's reaction was like she'd been waiting for it, just like when she asked if I wanted to become like the Gold Fairy or Silver Fairy.
She curled up the corners of her mouth into a meaningful smile.
"Oh ho, is that so?"
"W-Wait... that look on your face... it's kinda suspicious!"
"Suspicious? I was just asking out of curiosity."
Even as she played innocent with a straight face, the Fable Fairy—whose instincts had sharpened lately—looked up at me with a hint of fear.
I crossed my arms heavily and spoke.
"You said it before, didn't you? That you wanted to get big boobs like the Gold Fairy or Silver Fairy right away."
"...Yeah, I did."
"Aren't you curious about what you'd look like all grown up and perfect?"
"I am curious... but why do I feel so uneasy?"
"Have I ever asked you to do anything harmful?"
"N-No, you haven't."
"Then you should trust me, right?"
"...Alright. I'll trust you."
That said.
To give her the Heavenly Pill, I'd have to bring it up first—and that would inevitably mean spilling the beans about meeting King Yama.
The Fable Fairy might be innocent, but the moment "King Yama" came up, she wouldn't just brush it off as simple curiosity.
'She might start suspecting something weird about me...'
Or she might get scared of King Yama and never visit the rooftop again.
If it were before, maybe—but now, she was helping me out a ton.
Getting info from the heavenly realm would've been impossible without her, the slightly dim and immature one.
'Hmm... what should I do?'
Meeting King Yama was a major secret I'd kept until now.
If the fairies found out, it could spiral into unnecessary trouble.
Plus, the Fable Fairy wore her emotions on her sleeve, so there was a high risk of the secret leaking to the Gold or Silver Fairy.
I racked my brain as fast as I could.
'Yeah, telling her straight up is too risky.'
After some thought, I decided to approach it from a slightly different angle.
If I gauged her reaction to the Heavenly Peach first, I might get a chance to slyly mention the Heavenly Pill.
Once I'd sorted my thoughts, I naturally turned my gaze back to her.
"By the way... the Heavenly Peaches you fairies give us do have an effect on humans, right?"
"That's right."
"Do they work on fairies too if you eat them?"
"Heavenly Peaches?"
"Yeah, like getting stronger or boosting your physical abilities or something."
The Fable Fairy tilted her head, tapping her finger against her lips thoughtfully.
"...Even if we eat Heavenly Peaches, we don't change like humans do."
"So no drastic changes like with humans, but a little difference?"
"Not really any effects like that. At best, our bodies feel a bit lighter, or our energy clears up a little."
"Ah... I see. So you just eat them because they're tasty?"
"They're not particularly tasty. There are way better foods in the heavenly realm."
I'd assumed heavenly realm food was all bland since the Silver Fairy devoured that rice cake so eagerly—but apparently not.
Well, tastes differ from person to person, so fairies probably vary too.
"Heavenly Peaches tasted great to me. Isn't it just your taste buds talking?"
"Wh-What? My taste buds!? How rude!!"
I mulled over the Fable Fairy's explanation in my head.
The key point: Heavenly Peaches had no real effect on fairies.
This was crucial info.
'Then the Heavenly Pill probably won't work on them either.'
To be safe, I tossed out a question closer to the main topic.
"Oh, right. I heard from the Gold Fairy before that there's something called a Heavenly Pill in the heavenly realm. What's that?"
"H-Heavenly Pill? How do you know about that?"
"I heard it from the Gold Fairy."
I said it casually on purpose, and she nodded, her face turning surprisingly serious.
"Hmm... The Heavenly Pill is the heavenly realm's greatest medicine, made by King Daewang of Cloud Purity Palace!"
I'd already heard from King Yama that King Daewang made them.
Still, I feigned a face full of question marks.
"Made in Cloud Purity Palace?"
"Cloud Purity Palace is a very special place even in the heavenly realm. It's made directly by King Daewang, so it's not easy to get."
"...The Gold Fairy said King Yama has some."
"That's true. Only the Jade Emperor and King Yama possess Heavenly Pills in the heavenly realm."
King Yama had traded something as precious as Heavenly Pills for the Gold Fairy's sweat-absorbing clothes?
Yeah, he definitely didn't seem entirely sane.
I swallowed dryly and continued.
"So fairies can't take Heavenly Pills then?"
"They can."
"Th-They can?"
"But you have to earn tremendous merit or achievements in the heavenly realm."
"Fairies get effects from taking them too?"
"Of course! They're Heavenly Pills bestowed by the Jade Emperor or King Yama himself!"
So.
Putting together what the Fable Fairy said: by offering the Gold Fairy's sweat-absorbing clothes to King Yama, I'd contributed to the heavenly realm as a human?
And that's why I got those precious Heavenly Pills?
On top of that.
If they worked on fairies too, I could use one of the aging Heavenly Pills from King Yama to temporarily turn the Fable Fairy into an adult body.
And with the others, even sex or rape could become perfect crimes.
—Gulp.
My saliva swallowed on its own.
Realizing so many possibilities at once made my head spin with happy fantasies.
I adjusted my posture and let out a long breath.
'Whew.'
I fiddled with the Heavenly Pill in my pocket.
It felt like a small, round pill, oddly satisfying rolling between my fingers.
Three aging Heavenly Pills from King Yama.
One was already used on Yoo Soeun, so giving one to the Fable Fairy now would leave just one.
'But what if I end up young again?'
A flicker of anxiety crossed my mind.
I didn't know when King Yama might show up again, and with only one aging pill left, it was unsettling.
I wanted to see the Fable Fairy grown up, but not at the risk of danger.
'Plus, it's 24 hours for humans, but for fairies, it might last longer or even be permanent.'
What if I fed her one and she didn't revert to her small form?
King Yama might find out I gave a Heavenly Pill to a fairy.
The number mattered, but I needed solid info too.
After a pause, I carefully spoke up.
"...So, how long do the effects last for fairies?"
"I've never taken one, so I don't know exactly."
"You've never earned merit in the heavenly realm?"
"It's tough. Even the Gold Sister or Silver Sister haven't received one."
How many had I gotten already when they were so hard to obtain?
I'd traded so many times I'd lost count—a wry chuckle escaped me.
"Then go to the heavenly realm this time and get some proper info on Heavenly Pills."
"Got it! So I can keep sucking it from now on too, right?"
Her face flushed tomato-red as she pointed at my dick with her finger.
I had no idea what was so great about blowjobs, but it wasn't a bad deal.
She'd do her best to get the info.
I wrapped my arm affectionately around the Fable Fairy's shoulders and grinned brightly.
"Yeah, I'm counting on you."
-W-Wait, you're coming up to Seoul? Suddenly?
The drive to Seoul was relatively quiet.
I lightly gripped the steering wheel, talking to Junseok via Bluetooth.
I glanced at my face in the rearview mirror before speaking.
-Just blowing off some steam.
-Not for any plans?
-Yeah.
-Ha! I have plans today. What do I do?
-What does that matter? I'm seriously just coming up for a drive.
-How long you staying?
Staying cooped up at home managing the bathhouse every day was fine for making money, but getting out like this for a mood refresh felt good.
That way, I could keep happily entertaining the fairies and earning cash, right?
-Grab a coffee and head back down.
-...You're insane. You really are just here for a drive.
As we talked, I exited the highway and entered downtown Seoul.
Arriving in the daytime, the streets were packed with cars. I headed for a decent-looking café.
-I was gonna try to meet up even if just briefly if times worked out. Bummer.
-Hey! Just in case, I'll call after your plans end.
I'd picked a spot and parked nearby, about to end the call.
That's when my gaze drifted outside the window.
A strange woman was reaching for my car door handle, like she was about to open it.
-Alright, gotta go. Talk later.
Click—
For a split second, an inexplicable sense of wariness kicked in.
As I hung up, I examined her closely.
Long wavy brown hair, a plump yet perfectly toned body without an ounce of excess fat.
Her silhouette felt oddly familiar.
'I've seen her somewhere before...?'
The moment she put her hand on the handle to open the door, it hit me who she was.
'Her name was Minjoo-a, right...?'
About a month ago, the woman who'd shown up at my place at 1 a.m. claiming she'd just moved in, handing out rice cakes.
And because the Silver Fairy ate one and went weird, I'd been forced into a blowjob.
'Running into her in Seoul proves she was lying.'
Minjoo-a climbed into the back seat of a luxury sedan—did she have a chauffeur?
She'd used moving as an excuse to feed us rice cakes, then robbed the place, and now acted like some rich lady.
Something told me I'd regret letting her go just like that.
Like I'd been possessed by a detective, I turned the ignition again.
Vroom—!
Soon, the car she was in pulled away.
I followed, lips curling into a smirk as I muttered low.
"Fuck that, I'm not taking this lying down."
