(EP-280.2) Fairy and Summer Trip #4

280 – The Clumsy Fairy and the Summer Trip #4

Anyone would think the same.

After all, as the lady of the Draco family, she was supposed to be as pure as a monk—no, almost like a saint.

Mirna moved her lips as if she had a lot to say, then finally, she asked softly.

“So, Lady Stella, do you have a lot of experience?”

“Me?”

Stella Bellhawk flinched.

But Mirna, seemingly unaware, continued.

“I’ve heard that elves pursue free love. With someone like Lady Stella, there must have been no shortage of men pursuing you. I guess that was a foolish question of mine.”

Stella Bellhawk’s amber eyes wavered slightly. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she straightened her chest and said.

“Y-Yes, of course. I’m a mature adult woman, so when it comes to men or love, there’s no one as knowledgeable as me…!?”

Stella’s voice trembled as she said this. It was a tremor so subtle that only someone with the keen senses of a half-fairy would barely notice.

However, just as a hunter spider sensed its prey approaching from the faintest vibration on its web, I, too, could detect the underlying inexperience and naivety in her reaction.

Stella Bellhawk was a virgin.

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

「Purity Detector!

Job: Casanova 1+ Level

Casanova Lv. 7 → Lv. 8

You can now determine a person’s purity by their scent!」

After a long time, my Casanova job level had increased. Being able to determine someone’s purity just by scent? I’d heard that dogs could gather far more information through their sense of smell than humans did.

It seemed I had become something similar to that.

… Was I a dog now?

Sniff sniff.

When I tested my newfound ability…

Yes.

Stella Bellhawk was indeed a virgin.

Why would she try to act like an experienced woman when she was a virgin? Mirna quickly answered that question for me.

“Well, for elves, love is practically a rite of passage into adulthood. It would be strange if Lady Bellhawk, the future head of the Bellhawk family, had no experience.”

“Th-That’s right…!”

‘I see.’

I heard that during the Joseon Dynasty, a person was only recognized as an adult if they tied their hair into a topknot and secured it with a hairpin.

Similarly, it wouldn’t be surprising if the elves, who had a long history of nomadic life, had a tradition of only being considered adults after having a relationship between men and women.

Unlike the church, which valued purity, it seemed that purity had become something shameful among the elves. Quite a promiscuous race, indeed…

As if to prove my assumption, Stella Belhawk blurted out an unsolicited story.

“For us elves, once we get a little older? We all just go and experience it. There’s nothing to do in the countryside, so instead of playing, we just… do that kind of thing.”

“Hmph. As expected of fairies, how utterly shameless.”

Mirna frowned in clear displeasure. But I couldn’t help but let my lips part as a horn grew within me like a budding bamboo shoot.

“Then, what was your first experience like, Stella-nim?”

“First experience? Uh? Hmm…”

“If it’s too much to talk about, how about your first kiss?”

“My first kiss…”

Seeing Bellhawk’s face turn deep red, I could tell that she was a pure 100% virgin, with neither a first experience nor even a first kiss under her belt.

Yet here she was, trying to act superior in front of Mirna, who had already crossed those thresholds. In reality, Mirna was more of a senior than Stella.

I added a few words of my own.

“In the future, when we do have those experiences, it wouldn’t be good if we panic. Stella-nim is an intellectual and an educator, please teach us well!”

“Ehum, well, that’s true. I’ve even temporarily taught a class or two on ethics and morality… uh, my first experience…”

Caught in her own lies, Bellhawk struggled, clearly floundering in the web she had spun. The feeling of being strangled by her own deceit was something I knew all too well.

It was both relatable and highly amusing.

I wondered what kind of story she would come up with. As I watched with anticipation, Stella, unable to contain herself, fidgeted with her ears that peeked out from behind her hair, and finally blurted out.

“My, my partner was a fellow fairy, younger than me… um, but still, I really can’t share such things with kids…!”

At those words, Mirna furrowed her brows.

“Kids? Both Sir Theo and I are well past the age of majority, we’re adults!”

“B-But to me, you’re all just kids! And kids should go to bed early! Now that we’re done eating, let’s clean up and get to bed!”

With that, Stella quickly got up from her seat. She cleared her dishes and headed off to the public bath.

Watching her retreating figure, Mirna clicked her tongue.

“She’s acting more like a convent nun than an elf. It’s hard to believe she has much experience… What do you think, Sir Theo?”

Mirna’s question made me hesitate for a moment, debating whether to tell her the truth or to protect Stella’s dignity as the elder. But before I could decide, Mirna asked another question.

“Is Lady Bellhawk also part of that plan? I seem to recall something like that, but it was all so shocking that I can’t remember clearly.”

“Um, that… maybe, maybe not.”

When I gave a vague answer, Mirna frowned.

Then she pinched my side tight before whispering sharply.

“Be clear!”
