A/N: It’s finally over.
The characters moved, talked, and battled more than I planned.
Only the previous battle between the two was transcribed as it had been inside my head.

And so the Curtains Close on the Dance.

I was greeted with applause and cheers when I returned from the PvP Field.
Somehow, even Game Master-san is applauding.
I guess it means that they were bewitched with just this level of battle.

But I really put out everything I had.
I bet the next time won’t go like this; this was definitely a first-time-only thing.
To say nothing of the fact that, now that I just showcased everything in front of everyone, I don’t want it all to get researched but all of it probably will be na, especially <Fly>; there will definitely be an increase in users for that.
Requests for manufacturing Enhanced Oil will also probably increase, so let’s run away right now, un.

While I’m thinking that sort of stupid thing in the middle of all the applause, the Fairy Queen, who was slumped in defeat, stood upright.
With that action, once again the arena naturally became quiet.
The Queen who stood upright deeply bowed her head.

“It was my complete defeat; I have been made to fully realize that I had been conceited. I accept the lesson I was given today … . Now then, I believe I should give you your award immediately … I beg your pardon, but please take out your broken Contract Crystal and the Setting of the Fairy King’s Ring.”

I get the Fairy crystal but the Fairy King’s Ring –tte, is she talking about THAT which I found in the cave?
Thinking so, I took out both of them and handed them over, and since the Queen didn’t say “Wrong,” I guess that’s what it was; or like, other than that I’m not carrying anything else that’s like a ring.

Accepting the two, the Queen murmured, “So there are already 5 of them … you are truly an unpredictable man,” but …? When she says 5 of them, does she mean the number of Fairy lights?

“Children of Light, I request that you come for a little while!”

So the Queen said, and called Light Fairies together.
All the Light Fairies flew around near the broken Crystal and floated a white ball of light within the Crystal.
With this, inside the broken, small Fairy Contract Crystal, is red, blue, yellow, green, black, and white; 6 balls of light shining.

“And now, for the finishing touches.”

The Queen stuck her own finger into the Contract Crystal; seems like she’s pouring power in.
Within the Crystal a pink ball of light was formed; with this there are 7 colors.

With the 7 colors sparkling, the Contract Crystal was quietly placed on top of the setting of the Fairy King’s Ring …
The Contract Crystal set there underwent a transformation into a gemstone with all the cuttings in an instant, and it was set firmly in the ring’s setting.
Within the clear gemstone, 7 colors danced; it’s definitely a fantasy-ring.
The ring itself is now a glittering platinum; that worn-out looking appearance from before has completely disappeared.

“This ring will be your reward.”

Is what the Queen informed me, and went to put the ring on my finger.

Grab-!   Grab-!

The first Grab-! is the sound of the Queen grabbing my left hand, and the 2nd Grab-! Is the sound of me grabbing the Queen’s hand that was carrying the ring.

“I will gratefully accept the ring … but, why are you trying to put that ring on the ring finger of my left hand … -!”

Grind grind grind grind grind grind

“Isn’t it fine – … it’s not like you will lose anything … -!”

Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind …

“I’ll lose things, lots of things! Like my mental fortitude -!”

Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind … -!

“No way-! I’m definitely going to put it on you -!”

Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind … grind grind grind grind -!

“Funuuuuuuuu!”

Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind …

“Unnnnnnnnn!”

Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind …!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I heard from Zwei that the dispute? from this time was

“Really funny for those watching, ze!”

And for some reason, a thumbs-up came with that.
How he got a hit with my harisen (Light Metal made with a Bear Pelt coating) is a digression.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

“Like this I won’t be able to break through your limits … <Fire Arm>!”

GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND- …

“You choose to use a STR buff just for this situation -!?”

No good, she’s breaking in – …!

“It doesn’t matter what you say … I will get it on you – …!

This nonsensical dispute ended in the Queen’s victory; Earth’s left ring finger was equipped with the 87th Generation Fairy Queen Ring.

Fairy Queen Ring

Magic Ring     Curse, Unique
Unable to be unequipped

The only ring in existence with the 87th Generation Fairy Queen’s power and the Fairies of 6 elements’ powers; with this equipped you are able to have passage into the Fairies’ Country.
The ring itself also has great power that makes it quite valuable.

However, in exchange you will be burdened with these penalties: Fairy Language will be forcefully acquired & once it has been forcefully set, this ring will be unable to be unequipped.
You can’t read it, but on the inside of the ring are the words “Do not forget me” engraved there.

Fairy Language forcibly learned; forcibly equipped
Elemental attack power 10% UP, Elemental defense power 5% UP
When using magic, MP expenditure 5% DOWN
Natural MP recovery 10% UP
The personal magic of the 87th Fairy Queen, Prism Nova, is available.
When attacking, there is a low possibility of calling upon an illusion of the Fairy Queen for 3 seconds.
Title: The One who Charmed Even the Fairy Queen, acquired

“It, it won’t come off …”

Just in case I fidgeted with the equipped ring, but it didn’t even budge.
I’m getting the feeling that it’s completely become one with my finger.
I,it’s another thing they’re harassing me with.

“Fufu, do take good care of it, ne.”

The Fairy Queen is smiling warmly, but for me that smiling face is kind of scary.
This Queen is definitely going to come bringing trouble, I can see that sort of vision.

“Now then, with this I will be returning to my home country. To everyone, let us meet again.”

Leaving that message behind, the Fairy Queen teleported.
Then, with the Game Master broadcasting the announcement, “This Event has now completely ended!” the curtains fell on this time’s Event.

―――――――――――――――――――

After that, once again the state of this world changed.
At the beginning, Bow is excruciating, but if you train it well it will become strong enough to beat magic, as it was clearly seen in the one battle with that Queen.
Because of that the number of Bow users exploded. Since the monsters that can use magic will probably increase from now on, they’re now training for support with the counter-plans in mind.

The people who train in Wind Magic also increased.
<Wind Buster> is already considered good enough, but what the Queen and Earth used to greatly increase their Jump was probably Wind Magic; the Analysis group had managed to see through it and embarked on cultivating it; this too probably won’t have too much time pass before they confirm it.

The complete turn around from trash treatment if there’s a strong part found is just like an MMORPG.
The Arts and Skills that have already combined together well are no longer trash.
This series of events was born from the way too much impact of the fight from the Event’s final battle.
As for the person himself.

“Didn’t you go home!?”

He had gone back to the usual days of always cooking for the food stall, but catching him off guard, the requests like “Teach me the Bow please,” and “Make that bomb,” increased intensely, so he was doing his crafting, not in his usual spot, but in a place where few people pass by; however there a rare guest, the Fairy Queen, invaded.

“I did though? But you see, that ring is a Teleport Point. For the lonely you without a Fairy, I come delivering love!”

So this is her true nature? While thing that, for now he landed a chop on her head.

“Uu, isn’t it fine? Because we’re Fairies, in the end the Queen has a lot of stiff parts no yo~, so isn’t it fine to take a break!”

With teary eyes the Queen piled on the complaints.
It seems like Earth’s quiet days are now a thing of the past …

A/N:  And so the event has ended.
From now on the Queen will invade from time to time.
Because she’s a queen, she acts high and mighty when she’s in front of people, however when she’s not she’s just a noisy girl.

Just in case, this isn’t going to turn into a love-comedy.
There was absolutely no need for the ring to be on the ring finger; it was the Queen trying to get back at him.

1. tsuwamono – basically means a really strong person, but I tried to make it “title-y”, so changed it to “great foe”

<T/N: Hm, this will probably be a shorter chapter … no? There’s still the same number of pages? *Translates for a while* … Wait. It’s half sfx.>
