Jui, visibly perplexed, slowly nodded before stepping away from the tree and coming to his knees, bowing his head in reverence.
"P-Please, Titanis Fairy Assistant to the Goddess, do not condemn my family and future family for my brash actions. It was not my intention to defy the great word of the goddess. It's just that no readings have ever ntioned sothing called a fairy before," Jui pleaded, his voice laden with worry for the repercussions of his ignorance.
The fairy, montarily unsettled but quickly regaining her composure, responded, "That's because I usually work beyond the goddess's reign, and I work with those she deems worthy!"
At this, Jui's eyes widened with awe. "Y-You're like her boss?!" he exclaid, misinterpreting her words in his excitent.
"N-No, I just help everyone. But my ti in this realm draws near, as this host body can't be sustained for long. You have been deed the strongest mortal on this planet. However, there is a traitor you will be paired with, and above all else, you are to trust the Demon Boy who has been revived!"
"T-That's Correct! In fact, he is really important, and above all else, you should ensure he makes it as far as possible. No one else can be trusted with this task other than you. If you wish for your family to flourish for generations, that is!" she declared with conviction, impressing upon Jui-Lao the gravity of his new responsibility.
"I trust you will make the right decision, the one deed the strongest by the goddess! Don't let us down. Do you accept?" she asked, awaiting his commitnt.
Jui-Lao, his face a mixture of awe and solemnity, acknowledged the weight of his charge. "If it is the will of the goddess, I must accept!" he affird, bowing his head further in a gesture of submission and reverence.
"Good, then I shall impart you a thod to get even stronger. A long ti ago, I observed many people die and live, but the most interesting thing was always watching mortals overco the greatest odds. Never condemn those around you and never break from your convictions.
I can't explain why, but everyone I ever t before my slumber who defeated the worst things in my world always possessed these traits," she shared, offering wisdom that transcended re physical strength.
With that, the fairy shook herself, as if to dispel the gravity of the mont, before launching herself toward the sky, leaving behind a stunned but determined Jui-Lao, now charged with a mission.
Okay," the fairy stated, now tasked with finding JJ. "I just need to go… uhh, shoot. Where would she be…"
Deciding to seek help, she flew back down.
"Young man who is granted the title of the strongest, I require assistance!" she called out to Jui-Lao, who, upon hearing her, imdiately dropped back to one knee, ready to aid the Titanis Fairy.
"Point in the direction of a lady nad Jedo Jadenui. I am destined to et with her next, but I can't seem to pinpoint her location," she explained, her mission clear but her directions unclear.
"Y-Yes, She is located in the west ministry district. If you go straight through this woodline and follow the streets to the right, it will lead to the ministry district housing, and you will find her estate listed as the Jadenui Estate. There she should be, or soone else would help guide you in finding her," Jui-Lao provided, eager to assist the fairy in her quest.
The fairy, filled with gratitude and a renewed sense of purpose, launched back into the sky. "THANK YOU! YOU WILL BE BLESSED FOR THIS!" she called out to Jui-Lao, her voice echoing her appreciation as she soared upward.
She darted over the treetops, following the directions Jui had given. Before long, she ca upon the streets that led to the west ministry district, her eyes scanning for the Jadenui Estates. When the massive gate, adorned with the estate's na, ca into view, she couldn't help but gasp in awe.
"Wo-WOAH, she's very rich!" The sight of thousands of flowers lining the estate's walls, along with a picture that she surmised to be of JJ's late parents, struck her.
As she navigated through the gate, noting the various "creatures" Ty had been riding—a reference to cars—she continued her search for JJ. Eventually, she spotted a woman with black hair leaning over a ledge, a flat device in hand.
Without hesitation, she zood in toward her, exclaiming, "JJ, I found you! I AM AWESO!!" Her sudden appearance startled JJ, causing her to step back and drop the device.
Reacting quickly, the fairy dove after the falling object, catching it mid-air and bringing it back up to JJ. "Phew! That was close," she said
"Thanks, but uh, who are you, little creature?" JJ asked, a mix of curiosity and surprise in her voice.
"Oh, I'm Ty's fairy, the guy you've been crushing on. I'm usually napping during his stuff, but you should have seen a few tis just floating around," the fairy responded with a light-hearted tone, trying to make a cheerful introduction despite the unconventional circumstances.
JJ, intrigued, placed a finger under her chin, pondering this new information. "Now that you ntion it, I do recall seeing a blur floating around him a few tis, but I thought maybe I just had sothing in my eyes. But what can I do for you? Is everything okay with him?"
"He wanted to pass on his thoughts about everything, for so reason. I think it's because he thinks you're really, really smart and can do sothing with it," the fairy explained
"But he wanted to say, after he finished researching the few books he had, that he thinks the history of this world is a lie, and also the Arena is a lie, made up out of a truth most likely," the fairy relayed, sharing Ty's suspicions and conclusions with JJ.
JJ's reaction was imdiate, a mixture of concern and caution. "Okay, stop talking so loud. I have a lot of other extended family around, and you can't be saying stuff like that," she warned, lowering her voice to ensure their conversation remained private.
She continued, her voice tinged with a hint of intrigue and agreent. "I actually have had my doubts for a long ti, but all the history books relate to the sa idea with no deviation."
The fairy, thoughtful, placed a finger under her chin. "Oh, well, I suppose the winners write the history books, but I still don't understand how he ca to these conclusions,"
