The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 146

Chesha couldn’t believe her ears.

Apologies?

It was something she had never even imagined.

She thought she must have misheard.

But the woman repeated the same words over and over.

Like a broken music box, she endlessly repeated her apology to no one.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…….”

Her chest felt tight.

It was as if a heavy stone was pressing down, making it hard to breathe.

Chesha silently watched the woman apologizing endlessly, then whispered,

“It’s okay.”

What reason would she have to apologize to her?

Rather, the one who should really be sorry was…….

“I’m sorry.”

It was Chesha.

If Chesha hadn’t been there, she would have certainly lived a better life than this, at least.

A new life must have been a heavy burden for her mother.

If she hadn’t had that burden, her mother might not have gone mad.

She might not have been wandering alone and lonely in an empty field.

Perhaps she could have found a happy ending.

With a heart as heavy as a stone, she made a silent vow that the woman couldn’t hear.

‘I will kill all the humans who made Mom like that.’

She quietly promised to repay the misery she had suffered many times over.

The woman, who was curled up holding her stomach, repeated meaningless apologies, and then, at some point, began to move her lips and sing.

The faint voice was completely different from the one she sang with madness.

It was the only trace of her mother that Chesha had.

A lullaby.

During a precious moment when she briefly regained her sanity, she sang a lullaby for the baby in her womb.

The tearful song was close to sobbing, but she forced the corners of her lips up into a smile.

As if wishing that the sadness she felt would not be passed on to the baby.

The fragile song continued as if it would break at any moment.

Then, the withered flowers began to bloom again little by little around her.

The sight of already dead flowers gaining life and reviving was astonishing.

It was a great power that even a reasonably strong fairy could not even imitate clumsily.

She, Chesha’s mother… might really have been a queen.

But whether she was a queen or not, it didn’t matter at all.

None of that mattered.

Chesha slowly approached the woman.

She wanted to see her face.

The golden hair, tangled with mud and blood, still emitted a brilliant light and was the same color as Chesha’s.

She wondered if her pink eyes were also inherited from her mother.

She carefully approached, trying to peek through the fallen hair.

That’s when the world in front of her began to melt.

In the blink of an eye, Chesha was back in the rabbit hole-like passage.

“…Ah.”

She let out a short sigh and pressed her lips tightly.

In the end, she couldn’t confirm her mother’s face.

She was disappointed, but it was okay.

She had a clear feeling that there would be another chance to see her someday.

Feeling the sensation of slowly falling down, she checked her hand.

The pocket watch she had picked up before seeing her mother’s memories was nowhere to be found.

Instead, Chesha was holding a doll in her hand.

“A rabbit?”

It was a rabbit doll with button eyes and a red ribbon around its neck in a black suit.

The doll made of pink fabric was fluffy and soft.

She pressed the doll firmly with her palm and thought.

‘This is something I don’t remember.’

The Phantasm [a manifestation of one’s inner world] reflects the fairy’s unconsciousness.

Therefore, the objects in the Phantasm were things that Chesha had seen at least once.

Objects that are somewhere in her memory.

‘But if it’s such a noticeable doll, there’s no way I wouldn’t remember it.’

Maybe…….

It might be an object left behind by her mother’s memories that permeated Chesha’s Phantasm.

Chesha skillfully handles the Phantasm, but she doesn’t know everything about it.

She also learned for the first time this time that the Phantasm is a passage leading to the Fairy Kingdom.

‘There must be many secrets that have not yet been revealed.’

Since she ended up going to the Fairy Kingdom, she thought she should ask the fairies there about various things.

Chesha, who was lost in thought while looking at the rabbit doll, suddenly felt awkward.

The cause of the alienation was her changed body.

“…Ah?”

The clear pronunciation of her voice rang in her ears.

Her slightly longer arms and legs also came into view.

Chesha muttered to herself without realizing it.

“I…. I’ve become a child?”

Her body had grown to a size that could be called a child.

Not an adult, but she was out of being a baby.

Especially for Chesha, who was worried that she would be a baby forever, it was a touching thing.

One strange thing was that her clothes had changed as well.

The clothes that changed with her suddenly becoming a child were unique.

The top was a black suit jacket, and the bottom was a rich blue frilled skirt, and strangely, it had butterfly wings.

She thought it was like a set with the rabbit doll.

Suddenly growing up, changing clothes too…….

‘Is this also the crown’s doing?’

Chesha stretched out her slightly longer arm and groped above her head.

The crown, which had been stuck tightly until before she saw her memories, had disappeared somewhere.

Chesha, who had become a child, clenched her fist tightly with her bigger hand.

“Okay, let’s see how far this goes.”

She was going to see what else the crown would do, and go all the way to the end.

Not long after, the end of the rabbit hole, which seemed like it would never end, came into view.

Chesha finally put her feet on the ground and let out a sigh of relief.

“Whew.”

Looking up, she could see the objects of the Phantasm floating around.

But unlike the other floating objects, the rabbit doll was held in Chesha’s hand, just drooping its big ears.

She felt like she had to carry it around for now.

Holding the rabbit doll in one hand, she walked forward.

And she let out an exclamation of admiration.

In front of Chesha was a huge door.

The door, made of gold, was engraved with delicate green patterns.

It was a winding curve pattern depicting the shape of a large tree with flowers blooming on its branches.

Chesha, who was observing the petals expressed by embedding colorful jewels, realized the problem.

“…How do I open the door?”

The door, which had to be opened to both sides, had no handle or keyhole.

Perhaps it was to be opened by pushing it, but one door leaf was so large that even if 10 child Cheshas were lined up, it would not be enough.

She groaned and tried to push the door with her hand, but the huge golden door did not budge.

Chesha burst into frustration.

“If you’re going to drag me here as you please, you should at least open the door!”

It was the moment she shouted.

“Does the soul exist because the body exists?”

The rabbit doll in her hand suddenly began to wriggle.

“Or does the soul exist because the body exists?”

The rabbit doll jumped down and landed on the floor.

Then, it shook its body left and right as if dancing.

The rabbit doll shouted, fluttering its long ears.

“I wanted to be a baby, so I became a baby!”

“I wanted to be a child, so I became a child!”

“I wanted to be an adult, so I became an adult!”

Chesha blinked and asked.

“Then you wanted to be a rabbit, so you became a rabbit?”

The rabbit doll clapped its blunt hands enthusiastically.

“That is correct!”

“…….”

She had to be trapped here with a crazy rabbit doll.

Suddenly, she wanted to escape so badly.

“…Is that a hint to open the door?”

The rabbit doll only fluttered its ears diligently, and instead of answering, it made absurd noises.

“Fairies are not humans. Humans are not fairies. Humans must think as humans, and fairies must think as fairies.”

Chesha, who was staring at the unpleasant rabbit doll, looked up at the door again.

‘I have no choice.’

If possible, she wanted to enter politely.

Even though she was forcibly dragged here, it was her first time entering the Fairy Kingdom.

Since this is how it turned out, wouldn’t it be good for each other if the first impression was good?

But as the rabbit doll said, as a ‘fairy Richessia,’ the result of thinking.

There was only one way to escape from here quickly.

Chesha stretched out her hand to the side.

Colorful flowers bloomed, and a large axe appeared.

Grasping the handle firmly, Chesha pulled the axe back with all her might…….

Kwaang!

She slammed the door down as it was.

A roar erupted and an axe mark appeared on the golden door.

“A crazy fairy!”

The rabbit doll was making a lot of noise next to her, so she said a word.

“If you want to be axed too, keep talking.”

“…….”

Chesha was able to comfortably chop with an axe in a very quiet environment.
