Faerie who was at a loss for words after hearing that lengthy explanation could only nod her head stiffly. "... That's right."
Faerie couldn't think of anything else after hearing the explanation. Even though Faerie's initial intention had prepared various beneficial suggestions for her to propose to the black ball's contract.
But at first, Faerie thought that the purpose of this contract was made quite simple, to stop the main male character from becoming a tyrant who would be considered a demon by the Goddess' prophecy.
Unfortunately, she had to come back surprised again. The fact this contract was formed from the very beginning only to change 'the whole world of the novel itself.
Is it possible for her who is just an ordinary Lecturer?
Faerie was afraid that she would fail to complete this contract. Faerie felt very, very doubtful.
Faerie doesn't feel confident being able to fix the plot of this shity novel.
'ARGH! I should never have made such a f*cking comment!'
However, if Faerie shows that she feels doubt and not confidence clearly, then this black ball will use all means to further complicate the content of the contract.
'Grandma, what should I do?' Faerie can't rely on anyone in her current situation, other than her long-dead grandmother.
"Do you agree to do a contract with me?"
Faerie was unnerved at the sound of the stranger but strangely enough, calmed her anxious mind.
"Y-Yes...." She nodded her head like an obedient child.
The black ball smiled at Faerie, whose shoulders drooped limply.
"All right. Then we have a deal. The content of the contract is easy. If you change my world for the better as you write in your comments, then you can regain your life in your original world, Earth."
'Change the world... It wasn't easy. But it's worth the life I get later in return. This is purely my fault after all, ' Faerie thought in her head, trying to comfort herself.
Faerie gulped down her saliva while nodding her head, again. It was as if this woman had resigned herself and there was no desire to refuse after seeing the reality that was before her.
The black ball circled Faerie's body. "Hey, cheer up! Coming into my world is not much different from the world you live in."
"You will enter a world in the middle ages whose technology is almost advanced. For example, transportation using horse-drawn carriages has been replaced by fuel-powered cars. Ah, and there's a gun too. Although it is still a hand-held firearm only."
"So let's say you're on vacation instead of working on a contract!"
Faerie muttered involuntarily. "What kind of middle ages had such advanced technological capabilities?" (There is.)
The black ball that felt displeased with Faerie's words, glared sharply. "So you want me to put you in a world where cooking utensils and toiletries still haven't been invented?"
"Please, Lord God! Put me in that great world of yours!" Faerie stared at the ugly black ball with both eyes twinkling pitifully.
The ugly, dull black ball twitched with delight at Faerie's praise. "Haha! It's good that you've realized how great my world is to see you begging like that!"
Faerie who listened to that proud sentence could only roll her eyes in annoyance.
'Who is the fool who wants to get into that shity novel? I wouldn't want to enter it if it wasn't for that damn contract and the reward,' thought Faerie, again cursing in her heart.
"Ah..." The thought that Faerie would enter into an unfamiliar novel world, made Faerie suddenly nervous.
'Will I be able to live righteously later, even though I have known the plot of the novel?'
"Excuse me, Lord God...?" Faerie called in a very low voice.
The ball stopped circling the Faerie. "Hm? What's up?"
"Look... Is there no guarantee for me?"
"Ha? What kind of guarantee do you mean?"
"Umm... Like a security guarantee so that I can avoid unwanted events during the completion of the contract, so that both of us as the first person and the second person who are bound by the contract, will not suffer losses unless it is an unavoidable event...?"
Faerie made the suggestion hesitantly because she was not sure if this black ball in front of her would be persuaded by her or not.
"Hmm...." The black ball seemed to be thinking hard at the suggestion that Faerie put forward hesitantly.
'Hopefully... I hope he agrees..!! If he agrees then I will have something that can protect me during the novel world, albeit indirectly...!' Faerie begged in her heart.
"Hmmmm... All right! Since I am a benevolent God, I will gladly give you a guarantee as long as you do not harm me or tarnish the greatness of my name to the children of my world!!" After much deliberation, the black ball finally agreed with what Faerie had suggested.
Faerie's face instantly turned bright. "Really?!"
The black ball was also happy when he saw Faerie, whose aura around her was gloomy, had now changed drastically like flowers were growing and blooming above her head. "I'll give it to you when you're in my world."
"Now! You must be looking forward to entering my wonderful world, right? Hehehe! Take it easy, because I am one of the supreme Gods who can transfer otherworldly souls to other worlds easily!!" he said excitedly.
As if not to be outdone, the black ball also exuded a flowery aura. Unfortunately, it was not very suitable for those ugly-looking and also dull black balls.
'Well, normally one would not be able to enter the world of a novel if a black ball claiming to be a 'God' never appeared before me, for example,' Faerie thought as she watched the strange and ugly black ball closely.
'Yes. He is an ugly God.' Faerie nodded her head involuntarily.
"I will immediately prepare a contract." The black ball was moving here and there with a flowery aura still faithfully surrounding it.
"Here."
Out of nowhere, a human hand appeared in the air.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Faerie shouted full of fear when she saw that a hand that was up to her arm, suddenly appeared before her and was floating in the air.
"Calm down. That's my hand." The black ball sounded annoyed at the loud cry of Faerie.
"At least turn into a whole human being!" lamented Faerie, who still had goosebumps of fear.
"Don't want to. I like the way I am now," the ball immediately brushed off the Faerie words, "quickly! Shake my hand."
Holding her breath, Faerie timidly began to reach out to hold the 'hand' of the black ball.
Surprisingly, the hand is not black but bright white.
"..."
"Uh, nothing happened?" Faerie blinked her eyes as her hand shook the hand that had been floating in the air mysteriously, for quite a long time.
"Of course. What do you think will happen?"
Faerie grinned, she did not realize that her surroundings, which were initially pitch-black, had begun to glow little by little.
"Ah. Before Lord God completes the contract, I want to ask you something," said Faerie while trying to shake off this handshake.
"What is it?"
Faerie heaved a sigh of relief when the strange bungled hand had slipped from her and was able to refocus with the black ball in front of her. "What if I don't finish the contract?"
"Hmmmmmmmm... How is it, huh?" the sound of the black ball suddenly sounded a bit mischievous.
Faerie, who initially wanted to be angry because the black ball did not take her question seriously, suddenly became shocked because of something else. "Uh, Lord God?"
Faerie's index finger was raised and pointed at something. "You... You're starting to change?"
A black ball that initially looked ugly and dull and unkempt now began to turn little by little into a white ball, no, the round-shaped gem is white and sparkling beautiful.
"Just ignore it, this is because the effect of our contract has been established," he replied casually.
"EH?" Faerie exclaimed loudly.
'Has the contract been accepted?' She thought surprised.
"Just now you asked what happens if you fail to complete the contract, right? The answer is very simple." The round, white gem floated so high that Faerie had to look up.
"Of course. You will stay in my world forever."
"W-WHAT?!" Faerie screeched in surprise.
Not only because of the shocking answers she got but because her surroundings began to change drastically.
"What... What happens?!"
Faerie didn't even have time to comment when she saw that what was hidden behind the pitch-black surroundings, where she was currently standing, was a room that looked extremely sacred as it was entirely white and filled with many large pillars which had strange carvings also emitting white light.
"Wait!! Wait, wait, wait, wait!" Faerie tried to stop the white gems to give them more time, but she had already begun to gradually turn translucent like a ghost.
"I said waaaaait!" Faerie asked but was ignored
But, Faerie did not feel hopeless. "A-At least!"
"At least please answer this one question!"
The round-shaped gem stopped flying high and floated in silence as if it were listening to Faerie.
Faerie opened her mouth wide. "What... What if I'm threatened with death by another character, no, I mean, by the people in your world before completing the contract?!"
"Hahaha!" The round and white gem let out a beautiful laugh like a melodious song, very opposite to the discordant voice of the previous ugly black ball that sounded very evil and mischievous.
His laughter sounded like he was laughing at Faerie's silly and stupid question. "Don't worry. You can only die by two things. Besides, if you die..." the round white gem continued after a short pause, "I'd be happy to turn back time just for the sake of my beloved contractor."
'Die for two things? What else does that mean?!' Faerie wanted to ask further, but both she and the white gem could not see each other anymore.
It was because Faerie had disappeared completely.
"Noooooooooooooo!" Faerie shouted one last time before she disappeared without leaving a trace.
The beautiful shimmering white and round gem smiled happily. "Ahhhhh~ I haven't had fun like that in a long time."
The gem stopped smiling as it remembered something.
"Ah, I forgot to tell her that she will be 'that person when she enters my world."
The white gem twitched merrily. "Well, no problem! Faerie can do it."
"Because Faerie is 'Faerie'."
