Chapter 107
Chapter 107
For a while, I pretended to look for the acorn while searching the dirt floor.
Then the knights and the nanny, who had been watching me carefully at first, started to do things little by little, seemingly getting bored.
Yawning while looking at a distant mountain, chatting with each other, picking fruits from nearby raspberries or radishes and eating them. That kind of thing.
I took the gap and headed towards the bush a little deeper.
‘I must have seen a fairy fruit tree around this time last time…’
Just then, the nanny looked at me and shouted.
“Miss! You can’t go too far!”
“Okay, I get it! I’m not going far!”
While I answered diligently with my mouth, my eyes and hands continued to scour the surrounding bushes.
And finally.
“Ah, I found it!”
Just under a thicket of thorns mixed with dry straw and new leaves, I finally found the fairy tree I was looking for.
‘It’s said to be a fairy fruit, but it’s really small like a fairy.’
But it’s not cute.
Unknowingly, I had goosebumps at the appearance of the rough-looking tree.
‘Ugh, for some reason, it looks like it’s poisoned.’

Of course, I knew it wasn’t, but I didn’t want to do it.
“Heey!”
But if it’s for Alice, I would do this trouble.
I closed my eyes tightly and crossed the jagged trunks of the fairy trees and through the strangely grown leaves.
Finally, I was able to obtain five berries as small as an acorn but full of blunt thorns.
‘Isn’t five enough? One or two is not enough, and three is a little less.’
The moment I grabbed the fruit, a small scream came out of my mouth.
Because the thorn pricked my hand like acupressure.
“Ack, it stings!”
“Miss?”
The nanny confirmed what I was doing as she had heard my voice from afar.
I quickly crumpled the berries into my pocket.
“Miss, I just heard a scream, huh?”
In just a few seconds, the nanny rushed towards me with the knights.
I was startled and turned my head to the nanny.
“Huh? Oh, that’s… I accidentally got pricked in the stomach.”
You can’t see the fairy tree unless you look inside the bush.
I touched the palm of my hand, pointing to the visible thorn bush.
Fortunately, there was no blood to see unlike a deep puncture.
However, the pale skin was slightly red.
“Let me see, miss! Oh my, oh my, look at this. It’s about to bleed! We have to go back to the mansion and apply some medicine.”
“……”
At the nanny’s hoarse voice, a corner of my heart was stabbed for no reason.
The nanny looked at me like that and told me.
“You didn’t find the acorn did you??”
“Ah, hmm.”
“…I thought so. What do you mean acorns this early summer, huh? I should have told you from the beginning that there were no acorns.”
The nanny sighed deeply and hugged me lightly.
“You end up getting hurt like this! Don’t be outside today anymore, come in, Miss.”
“Yes.”
I had already accomplished my purpose, so I quietly headed home without complaining about the nanny’s words.

Two days after picking the fairy fruit.
‘What am I supposed to say to give this to Alice?’
I secretly glanced at Alice’s back and pondered.
Despite the pain of waiting for kindergarten to come all weekend, the fairy fruit was still stagnant in my pocket.
‘If Alica says no by any chance. Hmm……’
I tried to simulate the situation in my mind.
I approached cautiously and handed the fairy fruit to Alice.
Then Alice would probably reply like this.
“Oh, Miss Emir. Why are you giving me such disgusting things?”
“That, that.”
I will be embarrassed and sweating in a cold sweat.
And I’ll tell her.
“Actually, this fruit… even if it doesn’t look like that, it has tremendous benefits!”
“What? Benefits?”
“That’s right. This is the effect that allows you to summon fairies!”
Then, perhaps, Alice will have a straight face.
“Hey, don’t play around, Miss Emir. No matter how much it is Miss Emir, I hate jokes like this. There is no way a fairy would appear after eating such a fruit!”
I wouldn’t believe it either.
However, it is not possible to make it into powder in cookies and give them as gifts.
Since, it has a very unique taste.
“Hmm… what should I do?”
That’s when I was squeezing my head and thinking.
Someone came and cast a shadow in front of me.
It was Alice, who had just been sitting there.
“Alice?”
“…Miss Emir keeps looking at me.”
Alice smiled softly and sat down next to me.
Then she whispered a little in my ear.
“Did I get something on my back?”
“No, it wasn’t, because I actually had something to give Alice.”
“Yes?”
It was Alice with her eyes wide open at my words.
Then she asked in a slightly recalled voice.
“Are we going to eat it? Is it a snack?”
Well, I’m not sure.
I’m going to eat it first.
