"So." Elise still talks stiffly. "Who are you?"
"I'm just a forest fairy that lives nearby…. No more. Unlike what humans say, our colony only lives like other creatures. We are not protectors of the forest or anything like that. But, we really love nature. Nature is an inseparable part of us."
"Why are you crying, Alette?" The female warrior slightly bent her body so that her face was the same height as the petite woman.
The fairy pointed to the bee swarm that was going back and forth from the seafront to the cliff. Elise realized that the bees weren't actually in groups but made holes in the cliff individually. Those insects dig the hole, suck water from the seafront, then use the water to strengthen the hole's walls.
"Ah, like a cement mix," Raymund concluded after observing the bees, which turned out to be bigger than the ordinary bee.
"They make the holes to lay eggs." Alette wiped her tears.
