The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 158

I expected his condition to be bad.

But Hata’s tone was a bit more subtle.

Chesha pondered for a while what that subtlety was and then suddenly realized.

‘His tone suggests that something bizarre is happening?’

But Hata didn’t explain it in detail.

After talking about other things for a while, he simply fell asleep in Chesha’s arms.

‘Well… what could be the matter.’

Chesha was already well aware that the men of the Vasilios family were abnormal.

They were already crazy, so what difference would it make if they went even crazier?

Chesha just brushed it off lightly.

Thus, the journey to the Palen Empire began in earnest.

The journey was uneventful and smooth enough to be boring.

With skilled mercenaries guarding them, nothing dangerous could happen.

They left Skaya peacefully, heading towards the Palen Empire.

Before entering the empire, the group approached the vicinity of the underworld.

The shortest route to the Palen Empire was through the underworld, but it was too dangerous.

Five carriages full of expensive goods in the underworld?

It would be difficult no matter how many skilled mercenaries they hired.

So, they decided to take a detour, and the group unpacked their luggage at an inn near the underworld.

Aran was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he put his head on the pillow.

Chesha, who was using the room alone, listened to the sounds outside the door.

She could feel the presence of people standing guard right in front.

They were more like guards than escorts, practically acting as watchers.

Ithar must have strictly ordered them to keep a close eye on Chesha, the only way to meet the witch Richessia.

‘But how can ordinary humans stop me?’

It was absurd.

‘Let’s go out!’

Chesha packed her bags simply.

If she encountered any one of the three brothers in the underworld, she wouldn’t have to come back here.

Looking through her bag, the strange clothes that Chesha had taken off while changing into Skaya attire had disappeared without a trace.

Only a few withered petals remained in the bag.

Perhaps it was a garment made in the Hwan-yeok [a mystical realm or dimension], so it scattered into petals.

Chesha packed her simple luggage and stuck a flower on her forehead to eliminate her presence.

After sticking a flower on Hata as well, before opening the window and jumping outside.

She looked around the room one last time to see if she had forgotten anything.

“…Ah, right.”

The rabbit doll was lying pitifully on the bed.

Chesha quickly grabbed the rabbit doll.

Hata made a short, displeased noise, but she ignored it.

‘It’s inconvenient because the doll can’t talk.’

If it were normal, it would have been impossible not to know because it would have been yelling at her to take it along.

‘When will he start talking?’

She was a little worried to see him dangling like a normal doll.

It seemed that Chesha would have to regain some of her strength to be able to talk to him again.

She also had to find the fairies…….

She had a mountain of things to do.

Chesha took the rabbit doll and Hata and slipped out of the Ppyororong Inn [onomatopoeic word suggesting a whimsical or magical place].

With the goal of returning early in the morning if she couldn’t meet the three brothers.

However, the ambitious midnight escape didn’t start off well from the beginning.

The sky had been overcast with dark clouds even during the day, and it had finally started to rain.

Chesha put the rabbit doll on her head and held Hata in one arm.

Then she took out a large flower and used it as an umbrella.

It looked a bit funny, but it seemed okay since she was hiding her appearance.

“Is it too far to walk from here?”

“A little! But it’s okay because Hata knows a shortcut.”

Chesha hurried her steps.

She had to arrive quickly before it rained any harder.

Following Hata’s guidance, she walked for a while, and lights appeared through the rain.

Even on a rainy night, the underworld boasted a splendid night view.

Looking at the underworld from afar, her heart stirred.

She now knew that this place was created hundreds of years ago by the previous fairy queen.

A barren land where life does not grow, created by the reversal of her great power.

Stepping onto the desolate land, Chesha thought of her mother for a brief moment.

But she shook her head and quickly shook off the thought.

“Hee-yu.”

She sighed softly and slowly moved her steps.

The underworld hadn’t changed at all.

The streets, which became more vibrant as darkness fell, were bustling even in the rain.

Some of those staggering from drunkenness opened their mouths wide and drank the rainwater.

Of course, there were also those who had fallen into the mud.

People with bizarre attire naturally trampled over those struggling on the ground and passed by.

Chesha scurried through them.

“Let’s go to the hat shop first!”

She was heading towards the hat shop as Hata instructed.

Suddenly, a terrible scream was heard from a short distance away.

She was about to pass by indifferently, thinking that someone else was dying again.

“Aaaagh! Save me!!”

A man full of the desire to live jumped from the top of a building.

He rolled on the ground with a heavy thud.

He must have broken a bone somewhere, but instead of being in pain, he crawled away.

But his direction happened to be towards Chesha.

She absolutely didn’t want to get involved.

She had seen countless times in the underworld how people lost their lives by showing unnecessary sympathy to others.

In this place, sympathy was the privilege of the strong.

‘I’m weak right now!’

Chesha, who had lost almost all of her power, was a fragile fairy like a newborn sprout.

At best, she could hide her appearance or make an umbrella out of a large flower.

She was in no position to save someone who had nothing to do with her.

Just as she was about to escape quickly.

She turned her head involuntarily at the sound of footsteps treading through the muddy road.

It was a man wearing black leather clothes.

He was slender, and not even a strand of hair could be seen due to the mask covering half of his face and the hood pulled down low.

The blood dripping from the long swords in both hands mixed with the rain and spread on the street.

As soon as she saw his eerie appearance, she knew.

It was the ‘Executioner’ she had only heard about.

The master of the underworld had many subordinates, and the most notorious among them was the Executioner.

He only moved according to the master’s orders.

No matter how much the other party begged or pleaded, or tried to appease him with a large sum of money, he wouldn’t budge.

He simply carried out the punishment given by the master.

In the past, Chesha was also secretly afraid of the Executioner.

She had caused so many accidents in the underworld that she worried that the capricious master might suddenly send the Executioner one day.

Of course, she didn’t think she would lose if she fought.

However, she was slightly, very slightly, afraid that she would be kicked out of the underworld if that happened.

And now that she knew that Kiernan was the master.

She was curious about who he would use as the Executioner, considering he didn’t trust others easily.

She inadvertently stared at the Executioner.

“…….”

The Executioner, who was walking after the fleeing man, suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned his head.

The Executioner’s gaze was directed precisely at Chesha.

As if he was looking at Chesha, who shouldn’t be visible.

“Heok, heueok!”

While the Executioner and Chesha continued their strange confrontation.

The man hurriedly crawled away.

Even though he clearly knew that he was running away as slowly as a turtle, the Executioner didn’t move.

He just stood still like a statue and looked in the direction where Chesha was.

Clearly, he shouldn’t be able to see anything.

Chesha slowly backed away.

She retreated until her body was hidden in the darkness of the back alley, and the Executioner followed Chesha that far.

Since everyone in the underworld had already run away, there wasn’t a single sign of people around.

Tok, Chesha’s heel hit the wall.

The Executioner had already come very close to Chesha.

Shuaaa.

The pouring rain became even heavier.

A low voice muttered.

“…Ha, I can’t tell because of the rain smell.”

The Executioner, who had been standing still, slowly took off his hood and pulled down the mask covering his lower face.

Hair soaked in rainwater clung to his pale face.

Curly blonde hair mixed with red, sharp eyes, and red pupils.

‘Huh?’

Chesha opened her eyes wide and parted her lips.

‘Uh-oh?’

Even though she knew she would look somewhat foolish, she couldn’t close her parted lips.

That’s because the man in front of her was Karha…….

So, clearly, the second son of the Vasilios family, Karha Vasilios……?

‘Why is he so big?!’

Karha had become an adult.
