Chapter 96: 96. Black fairy

"What happened, Twaila?" asked Riki, worried about the fairy who had suddenly arrived in a panic.

Twaila, still panicked, cried loudly, making Riki feel guilty because he found it all very funny and cute.

"I came back here after finishing work at the office, I immediately ’poof!’ moved here, then I saw the master resting, so I walked around and—"

"Wait a minute, calm down, relax." Riki interrupted Twaila, because the fairy was talking so fast, as if there were no tomorrow.

"I can’t relax, master! There are black fairies stalking us! Oh, master, you don’t know what black fairies are, right? Well, black fairies are fairies that have the power to absorb negative and evil things. They secretly want to harm the master because the master foiled the murder earlier today," said Twaila again, still speaking at the speed of a rapper.

"Then? How are they going to harm me? Is that possible?" asked Riki.

Twaila shook her head, "Of course they can’t harm you directly, master... they will immediately cause trouble by making the thugs around there wreak havoc in Natura. The thugs I’m referring to are a group of creepy people who have no conscience, master. They can kill people just for fun. And most of them use drugs, so they are not in their right minds. So, you must stop the thugs who are under the influence of the black fairy before they wreak havoc on this place."

Riki furrowed his brow as he listened to Twaila’s explanation. He knew that a mission would appear soon.

[Your first mission today is to stop the thugs under the influence of the black fairy, as well as eliminate the black fairy from the area so it doesn’t disturb the residents.]

[You will receive a reward in the form of a large plot of land on the gem hill and 15 million dollars.]

[If you refuse, you will see people you know come to harm.]

Without thinking much, Riki stood up and put on his jacket, because it was very cold outside and a light drizzle was still falling.

Sure enough, when Riki opened the door, the cold air immediately pierced his bones. Riki went back inside because he couldn’t stand the cold.

He took off his jacket and bought a special jacket from the system. It was a jacket that required the user’s magical energy. This jacket kept the wearer warm and immune to the cold. It also kept Riki dry, protected from the rain.

However, if an ordinary human wore it, it wouldn’t be very useful, other than providing a little warmth.

With his new jacket, Riki left the tree house and descended the stairs with Twaila flying in front of him.

The fairy guided Riki, while also providing light that only Riki could see.

That night, it felt very dark, even though the lights were still on as usual.

A thick fog suddenly enveloped them, but Riki’s vision remained bright and clear thanks to Twaila.

Twaila continued to guide Riki to keep walking until they exited the gates of Natura. At that moment, Riki glanced at the security guards on duty inside the post, because it was drizzling. It turned out that the two security guards were asleep while sitting, with Uno cards in their hands.

It was clear that they were under the influence of magic.

Riki was also sure that no one would wake up until the thugs arrived and caused trouble.

"It’s them, master!"

Riki stopped, seeing a group of men with dark auras that looked so dangerous. Behind them, a dark figure could be seen, not very clearly. However, Riki could see it. The dark figure hid when it realized Riki could see them.

As Riki had expected, the thugs attacked Riki one by one. Like zombies with no consciousness whatsoever, all they knew was to attack and attack whatever was in front of them.

However, Riki did not need to use physical strength to fight them. He had water magic that he had never tried before. He considered it just a temporary exercise.

There were many types of water magic, even for the basic spells. One of them was water bullets.

To use water bullets, Riki only needed to imagine the bullets coming out of his hands, then shooting quickly towards their heads. However, it wasn’t just any water, there was a sleeping potion in it.

Anyone whose head was hit by the bullet would immediately faint.

In less than a minute, the zombie men were unconscious on the street.

Riki laughed contentedly, but then he remembered that his mission was not complete until he eliminated the black fairy.

"The black fairy is quite weak, master. Moreover, you have always been very kind, often helping people, and have almost never committed any crimes other than accepting kisses from underage girls," said Twaila.

Riki furrowed his brow, very annoyed by Twaila’s recent statement, even though it was true.

It turned out that being a good person had many advantages. Including resistance to the black fairy’s attacks. Riki could not be affected by the black fairy’s magic because he was a good person. He had the element of light in his magic.

Riki grinned, staring intently at the black fairy hiding behind the large banyan tree, the icon of the Natura gate.

Although the tree was very beautiful and provided shade during the hot afternoon, according to local mythology, ghosts often appeared in the banyan tree.

This was not surprising, because there was a black fairy inside who loved to cause chaos. The black fairy, who loved evil, anxiety, fear, greed, and various other bad things, lived in the old, large banyan tree.

"You can’t climb up here!" shouted the black fairy.

Her appearance was not much different from Twaila’s. But she was human-sized, large, had no wings, wore a black dress, and had long black hair. The fairy had pale white skin, dull eyes, and black lips. There were two small horns on her head.

[Use water bullets to make her come down, master, only then can you fight her]

[Don’t be fooled by his female appearance, he is actually a man. He resembles a woman so that you will take pity on him]

[He knows you won’t be able to fight a weak and gentle woman]

Riki followed the system’s advice. He used ten water bullets to shoot at the black fairy, who was very agile in dodging.

On the ninth and tenth bullets, the fairy was hit and finally fell.

Immediately, the fairy put on an innocent face, crying and looking at Riki with a weak woman’s gaze.

"You are so cruel, Riki! To me, a beautiful woman," said the black fairy, crying uncontrollably.

Riki smiled slightly, then approached the black fairy.

The black fairy thought that Riki had fallen for his trick. However, Riki punched the black fairy in the face. The fairy’s form changed back to its original form, a black male fairy, but then it simply vanished. It turned into black ash, blown away by the wind.

Riki raised an eyebrow, "That’s it?"

"I told you, he’s weak, master. Even so, for ordinary humans, he is very strong and dangerous," replied Twaila.

[You have completed your first mission today. Your reward is land on Gem Hill and 15 million dollars!]

Riki stretched, feeling very tired and sleepy.

"I’m sleepy. Can you tie up those thugs?" asked Riki.

Twaila shook her head, "No need, the security guards will soon be freed from the black fairy’s spell. They will wake up and see the thugs lying there."

Riki nodded in understanding, "In that case, we have to hurry back, Twaila."

Riki jogged back to his tree house.

However, someone was waiting for him in front of the cottage, sitting there quietly, staring at Riki who had just returned.

Whether by coincidence or not, as soon as Riki arrived in front of the cottage, it suddenly started raining heavily. There was even the sound of thunder.

"Riki, where have you been?" asked Kaivan.

Yes, it was Kaivan.

Riki suddenly felt nervous, unsure of how to respond to Kaivan. He didn’t want Kaivan to know that he had just saved everyone at Natura.

Riki didn’t like being praised; in fact, he hated it when people flattered him too much. But sometimes, Riki also liked being praised.

"I... I was just taking a walk because I couldn’t sleep. I suddenly woke up, then had trouble sleeping—haha, what about you, why did you wake up?" asked Riki, still nervous.

Kaivan rubbed the back of his neck, looking nervous too.

"Actually, I had a dream that—oh, forget it. By the way, what’s that light next to you?" asked Kaivan, pointing at Twaila.

Riki’s eyes widened. He was sure that the system said that ordinary humans couldn’t see or detect fairies. Unless Twaila appeared in solid form.

"Wh... what light? There’s no light next to me," replied Riki, pretending to be confused.

Kaivan reached out his hand, making Twaila scream in fear. She was almost grabbed by Kaivan, if only Riki hadn’t pushed his hand away.

"There’s nothing there, Kaivan. Stop scaring me!" said Riki.

Kaivan laughed upon hearing this, "I guess I was mistaken because I’m still sleepy. Go to sleep, Riki, or do you want to sleep in the cottage? I’ll give in and sleep in the tree house."

Riki quickly shook his head and got ready to go to the tree house.

"No need, Kaivan! I like sleeping up there."

Riki quickly climbed up and closed the door of the tree house.

Meanwhile, Kaivan also returned to the cottage.

"It’s, was that a fairy? Mom said fairies follow a very kind people—uh, is Riki that kind that a fairy would follow him? I think I’ve been playing too many games."
