In Benwick(One)Unlike the Fairy King Forest, which is like spring all year round, the Fairy Forest in the Kingdom of Benwick, which maintains friendly relations with humans, has very distinct four seasons.

The coming autumn brings a colorful color to the forest that is very different from summer. A cool breeze blows through the treetops, and trees shake their bodies, scattering their leaves to the sky, and the fallen leaves form a colorful carpet on the soil.

A stream runs through it, and water hits the stones, making a pleasant sound of ding-dong-dong.

Under a big tree by the stream, a fairy with two ponytails bravely stuck her head out to look at the stream, and then quickly retreated behind the tree.

Several fairies were hiding behind the tree trunks and whispering.

------------------------------------

"According to these fallen leaves on the ground, there are more tree species that have never been seen in the forest."

Nasiens stood up from the ground, patted the soil on his knees, and stretched his hands to the stream not far away to wash, "... Huh"
He retracted his hands and carefully held a leaf.

This leaf is bigger than the hat on Nasiens' head, but lighter than a piece of paper. It has a very uniform and pleasing red color, and the continuous washing of the stream has not damaged it at all.

What's more magical is that once it leaves the water, its surface will quickly become dry. This is all thanks to the protection of the thin layer of magic on the surface of the leaf.

——Although the magic power of a leaf is not enough to distinguish the type. But this familiar feeling, could it be that it comes from——

The sound of horse hooves from far to near reached Nasiens' ears, and he turned around to look in the direction of the sound.

"Don't play, Sylvan All the leaves on the ground have been lifted up by your horse's hooves" Anne held the reins tightly to stop the horse, touched its mane, dismounted and walked straight towards Nasiens.

"Nasiens, look at these red leaves that are so big and have strange magic Can you tell which tree they come from... Oh, there are some around here too."

"Actually I only found this one, and I happened to need more leaves, so thank you Anghalhad." Nasiens smiled and took the thing that Anne was holding carefully in her arms. "Sure enough. My guess is right. They are--"


A strong wind blew from the other side of the stream. Anne turned sideways in time to prevent the wind from blowing directly into her eyes. Nasiens also stopped talking and prepared to press down the hat on his head with his hand.
Paji——
What's pressing on my head

"Thank me for saving your hat in the wind, Nasiens--Ah my ass Why are the stones in the water so slippery"

Hearing the familiar voice, Nasiens raised his eyebrows and pulled off a HUGE red leaf that was pressed on his hat by Donny's magic.

"Who can you blame It's you who walks without looking at your feet, Donny"

Following the sight of Anne who was standing beside him with her hands on her hips, the red-haired young man fell into the not very deep stream. Except for his clothes being wet, he was not seriously injured.

"Such a large leaf will bring a lot of wind. You did it on purpose, didn't you, Donny"

Nasiens glared at Donny who had successfully stood up, holding the leaves in one hand and shaking off his flattened hat with the other.
------------------------------------
"Who are these people Could they be invaders, or... human merchants with some fun stuff"

"Shhh - keep your voice down" The reckless twin-tailed fairy was hurriedly covered by her companions.

"Let me see it with Lord Gowther's glasses" The third "well-informed" fairy used both hands to adjust the oversized plain lenses on his nose.

"Hmm, princess, scholar, bodyguard No, weapons, uniform emblems... they are Paladins"

"Paladin Could it be the 'guest' that Queen Elaine mentioned yesterday"
------------------------------------
Donny half-crouched down and squeezed the water out of his trousers with difficulty.

"So what tree is this leaf from, Nasiens" He finally gave up the idea of ​​wringing out his trousers, stood up and shook off the wet trousers stuck to his legs.

"Although it weighs very light, it still hurts when it falls on me. When I find this kind of tree--"

"I'm going to talk to Anghalhad about this." Nasiens shrugged helplessly, "Believe me, you can't do anything to this kind of tree, because it's a juvenile Sacred Tree. It hurts when it hits you only because the sacred tree is so tall."

"Sacred Tree Shouldn't there only be The One in the Fairy King Forest" Donny's eyes widened.

"Is it the tree where Lancelot said the King and Queen of Benwick lived Wait a minute, Donny," Anne turned to look at Donny, "Didn't you and Percival go to find the missing Lancelot together"

"As Anghalhad says, Where did Percival go"

"Well..."

————
"Waaa——Don't get so close to us suddenly"
"I, I told you not to talk so loudly before"
"No My glasses"
————

The three of them quickly rushed to the place where the sound came from. In fact, it was not far away, just under the tree by the stream.

"When we came back, Percival found someone following us and said he wanted to say hello to them first." Donny scratched the back of his head.


"Sorry to scare you Here, are these your glasses" Percival tilted his head, picked up the intact glasses from Minipa's hands, and handed them to the trembling fairies.

"I just want to find out where Lancelot went. After all, you have been following us since we entered the forest." Percival greeted his companions who came over.

The little fairy with twin ponytails bravely reached out and picked up the glasses, put them on her face, and stood in front of the other two.

"You have no right to know the news of His Royal Highness Ahem, listen" She held the frame of the glasses with both hands unaccustomedly.

"Before asking others questions, you must first report everyone's name"

"Oh, yes, I'm Percival." Percival smiled and pointed at the other three, "They are Anne, Donny and Nasiens."

"These names... they are really the guests that Her Majesty said"

"So why did you follow us And where did Lancelot go"

Anne, who activated her magic, crossed her arms and looked at the little fairies.

"Humans may do bad things in the forest, so someone needs to watch you"

"But since you are guests of Her Majesty Queen, we will... not bother you anymore..."

"As for His Majesty Prince Lancelot, hiding is his habit every time he returns to the forest."
The glasses worn by the twin-tailed fairy were taken back by their original owner, wiped, and put back on his face.
"It's almost time for them to fight."

"Ah" Anne raised her eyebrows.
"Fight" Percival blinked.
"Fight with Lancelot" Nasiens was a little surprised.
"WHO can fight with THAT Lancelot" Donny held his head in shock.
