The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 30

Chesha’s face paled.

A tumultuous life as a fairy.

She had overcome countless life-or-death crises, but this was a first.

The memory of acting like a baby in front of Haelion, cooing and gurgling, flashed before her eyes like a wave.

It wasn’t just about the problems that would arise from her identity being exposed.

If Haelion found out…

It would be so mortifying that she would jump up and tear her hair out even on her deathbed.

‘Absolutely not!’

Chesha’s mind raced faster than ever before.

Unfortunately, her body was changing faster than her mind could process.

‘Ugh, noooo!’

Just as a faint pink glow was about to envelop her skin.

Chesha immediately mustered her strength.

Flowers and butterflies burst out like fireworks, and at the same time, the Phantasm Domain [a fairy’s personal dimension] unfolded.

The fairy’s power momentarily severed the Chains of Judgment.

Hata, freed from the chains, collapsed onto a large flower.

Before even checking on Hata’s safety, Chesha immediately trapped Haelion in the pile of flowers.

Haelion seemed a little taken aback by the sudden downpour of flowers.

But there was no other choice.

‘That was a close call…’

In the brief moment that Haelion’s vision was obscured, Chesha quickly transformed from a baby to an adult.

She was tearfully grateful today for the fact that she could freely change her appearance within the Phantasm Domain.

Hata, who had been so surprised that his ears and tail were standing on end, also saw that Chesha had safely changed her appearance and collapsed onto the flower with a relieved sigh.

‘But why did I suddenly turn back into a baby?’

Was it not the right potion after all?

She would need to ask Hata to find out exactly what was going on.

While she was catching her breath, Haelion cut through the flowers with his holy sword and brushed the petals off his uniform.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

She wasn’t really thinking anything; she was just worried about her baby form being exposed.

Chesha, unable to tell the truth, only rolled her eyes.

The Chains of Judgment extended from Haelion.

The pure white chains bound everything in the Phantasm Domain.

Torn dolls, broken toys, even giant chess pieces.

Haelion, who had surrounded the entire Phantasm Domain with chains, declared indifferently.

“You won’t be able to escape today, fairy.”

Hata jumped off the flower and quickly ran to Chesha’s side.

Hata hid behind Chesha and barked.

“Don’t bully Lichesia!”

He looked like a small dog carrying his owner on his back.

Haelion, watching the scene, frowned silently.

He stared intently at Hata, who was clinging to Chesha.

Then Hata, as if to show off, clung even closer to Chesha and growled.

“You white-haired jerk! Hata is Lichesia’s most cherished puppy!”

Chesha reached out and patted Hata.

Hata shut his mouth with a hmph at the gesture, which meant to stop.

Chesha wanted to criticize Haelion as well, but…

Her current situation was very difficult.

‘If the Phantasm Domain disappears, my baby form will be exposed.’

She had to resolve this somehow from within.

“Hey, Haelion.”

“……”

“I have some things to take care of today. How about we part on good terms?”

Swoosh.

Instead of answering, Haelion cut down the thorny bushes crawling up his feet with his holy sword.

The thorny bushes screamed and shrank into the corner, intimidated.

Chesha sent a nod to the pitiful pet plant and looked back at Haelion.

‘It seems impossible to resolve this through conversation.’

She had no choice but to bring out the trump card she had been saving.

“I’ll give you back the Spear of Rubeus.”

Hata, standing behind her, flinched at Chesha’s words.

The Spear of Rubeus was a sacred relic of the Holy Empire.

It was stolen by the fairy Lichesia in the past.

Strictly speaking, she didn’t steal it; she found it.

She just dealt with the commander of the Holy Knights who came to kill her, and the spear he happened to be carrying was a sacred relic, so she took it.

The Holy Emperor was extremely angry at the fact that the sacred relic had fallen into the hands of a heretic.

He raged and ordered them to retrieve the sacred relic immediately.

It was also the reason why the bounty on the fairy Lichesia skyrocketed.

However, there was no way a human could take something out of a fairy’s Phantasm Domain.

Chesha sometimes took out the sacred relic and used it to tease the Holy Knights.

Anyway, the Spear of Rubeus was a priceless item, but…

She was willing to give it up in order to resolve this situation and safely get Hata out.

“Take this and leave the back alleys. Just so you don’t make the wrong decision, I’ve already told your adjutant in advance.”

She had sent a letter containing the content of trading with Haelion for the sacred relic in a butterfly.

“I also said that I would destroy the sacred relic if you didn’t accept the deal.”

There was no way the Holy Emperor would let the Spear of Rubeus disappear in vain.

He had already caused a huge incident by bringing the Holy Knights into the back alleys.

If she were to destroy the sacred relic here, even Haelion would be in a lot of trouble.

She was confident that he would have no choice but to accept the deal…

But Haelion didn’t show the expected reaction.

For some reason, he was looking at Chesha with eyes that seemed to be thinking hard about something.

Chesha reflexively tried to wipe her cheek with the back of her hand, but stopped.

‘Is it because I’m different from usual?’

If she had acted like the fairy Lichesia as usual,

She would have fought with Haelion until the warehouse was destroyed and the Phantasm Domain was shattered into pieces.

Trying to resolve things through conversation, offering the sacred relic to end things…

‘It’s completely unfamiliar.’

As expected, Haelion gave a brief assessment.

“You’re acting out of character.”

“Well… I’ve been a little tired lately.”

She had been very tired from playing the baby.

Instantly, Haelion’s eyes sharpened.

“Are you being chased?”

“Huh?”

“Is that why you’re running away and hiding?”

It seemed that Chesha had built up a solid misunderstanding on her own while she was out of sight.

Chesha was speechless and couldn’t answer.

Then he seemed to take her silence as affirmation.

Following the owner’s agitation, the chains vibrated finely.

The rattling of the chains was deafening.

“Who dares to chase you?”

Haelion’s voice dropped low.

A chilling light flashed across his blue eyes.

“I am the only one who can capture and confine you, fairy.”

Chesha laughed involuntarily at the chilling warning.

She felt sorry for him having to search for her in vain and gave him a piece of advice.

“Don’t look for me for a while.”

And Haelion finally threw out the question.

“Is it related to your child?”

“……”

He still believed in that ridiculous delusion.

Chesha sighed deeply.

It was time to go home for real.

There was no time to exchange useless words to explain.

“Don’t think strange things. Let’s end it here, Haelion.”

Chesha detonated all the flowers in the Phantasm Domain.

The petals fluttered, and the chains that had been stretched out like spiderwebs shattered into pieces.

The crumbled chains and petals scattered everywhere.

Haelion distorted his face at the one-sided notice.

He, who rarely expressed emotions, shouted her name in a vehement voice.

“Lichesia!”

The Phantasm Domain shattered.

Haelion reached out his hand, but fragments of illusion obscured his vision.

Chesha threw the Spear of Rubeus at him.

And before Haelion could discover that she had become a baby again,

She immediately moved to Hata’s hat shop.

“Hwaaa, Lichesia niiim…”

As soon as she arrived at the hat shop, Hata started to cry.

“Because of Hata, the, the Spear of Rubeus… Hic, Hata is a bad puppy…”

Hata drooped his large ears and sobbed.

“It’s okay. It’s useless anyway.”

When she gently comforted him, Hata snuggled into Chesha, whimpering.

Chesha patted Hata on the back.

It was a little overwhelming to hold him in her baby body.

Chesha, who had been hugging him with her arms wide open, eventually plopped down on her bottom with a thud.

“Ouch.”

Hata finally came to his senses when Chesha sat down.

Hata quickly wiped away the tears that were dripping like beads and looked at Chesha with wide eyes.

“Uh…”

He lifted Chesha up with both hands and tilted his head, asking.

“But why did you turn back into a baby again?”

“I dunno.”

“Did you drink a strange potion? Hata put a label on the potion that makes you an adult. It said it was a medicine for the baby fairy…”

“I drank that, but I turned into this.”

“Uh oh… Why is that?”

Hata said in a flustered manner.

“Hata made the potion correctly…?”

Chesha was also greatly embarrassed by Hata’s words.

‘It wasn’t incomplete?’

She drank a properly completed potion, but she turned back into a baby.
