So that’s why the herbs had been kept so well hidden from the rest of the world… June was even here to constantly stand guard over the thousand-year-old panax ginsengs! “Nobody should ever get their hands on the herbs… Otherwise, catastrophe will be sure to follow! I’m sure you can understand that, right?” said June as she stared at Gerald. Now understanding the consequences that could happen, Gerald simply nodded as he replied, “I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t take any of them!” “I’m glad to hear that. Regardless, I’ll be giving you something to express my gratitude!” said June as she gracefully waved her hand, prompting a small, cubic treasure box of sorts to materialize within her palm… After receiving the treasure box from June, the curious Gerald wondered what she had just given him. Carefully prying the box open, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a single tiny pellet inside… Looking up at June, Gerald then said, “…This…” “That’s a rejuvenating pellet, and it’s the

The second she managed to snap out of her stupefied state, Nori immediately yelled, “G-Gerald…!” Now teary-eyed, Nori then rushed over and hugged him tightly. Realizing that Gerald was in one piece, Quest and the others were equally as delighted and surprised. As they ran over to him as well, Nori was already scanning Gerald from head to toe while asking, “A-are you alright Gerald? Are you hurt anywhere?” Seeing how worried she was, Gerald could only smile before replying, “Don’t worry, I’m fine!” Hearing that, Nori was so relieved that she found herself gently hitting her small hands against his chest while whining, “You… You really scared me half to death this time…!” The solace she was now getting after witnessing yesterday’s events was simply too much… As both Patrick and Quest began patting Gerald’s shoulders, Quest eventually found himself asking, “Regardless… What happened after you fell? That was a pretty high fall you know?” Laughing in response, Gerald simply

Upon hearing that, Mila barely said a word. Instead, she simply held onto Jessica’s arm before tugging her away. Not even sure what to do, Zyre could only watch as the two of them left… Seeing that the duo was gone, Hollie and her mother instantly yanked Zyre into the house with them. After sitting him on a couch, they made sure to properly interrogate him. As it turned out, Zyre had apparently made out with another woman—who went by the name of Yviene Morish and was Mila’s biological mother—before getting married to Chaney. Unfortunately, Zyre’s family was unwilling to let them be together. Due to that, after Mila’s birth, Yviene left just like that. Though the memory of her remained for the many years to come, Zyre never mentioned it to a soul. While he had thought of the possibility of Yviene appearing one day with Mila, he never thought that he would meet his daughter alone under such circumstances. Regardless, Chaney and Hollie were greatly angered after hearing all that

With those people out of the picture, Gerald then turned to look at the stupefied Hollie who was so terrified that she couldn’t even find the strength to move… Realizing that Gerald was now slowly walking toward her, the quivering Hollie then stuttered, “Y-you…! Don’t come this way…! I-I’m from the Smith family…!” The fact that she thought that she could use her family as an actual threat truly showed how idiotic this girl really was… Regardless, before anything else could happen, Mila quickly jogged over to Gerald before tugging his sleeve as she said, “Let’s just forget about her, Gerald…” In the end, not only was Hollie still a woman, but she was also the daughter of Mila’s biological father. With that in mind, Mila found herself rather reluctant to have anything too bad happen to Hollie. Hearing that, Gerald then nodded slightly before replying, “…Fine.” However, he still wanted to give Hollie a severe warning, just so she understood that messing with him and Mila would

“Let’s hurry in as well, Gerald! The good spots may get taken by others if we don’t get a move on!” exclaimed Nori. Nodding in agreement, both of them then transformed into their divine sense forms before going through the portal as well. Upon entering, they were immediately greeted by the sight of a dense forest that felt so refreshing and comfortable that it gave the impression that they really had just entered some fairyland. Even so, Gerald and Nori were well aware that this was actually just an illusory space. Despite that being the case, they also knew that unknown dangers could be lurking in every corner. While they didn’t know how large this illusory space truly was, they had a hunch that the forest they were currently in wasn’t the only terrain here… And they were right. Including the forest, there were several other terrains in the Challenge of the Fairyland such as the desert, the ancient city, and the snowfield. Since the divine senses appeared at random locatio
