Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 141

I listened to his explanation with a stiff expression.

“Excessive purity can twist even goodwill into malice, and even malice into goodwill. That’s why fairies blur the line between good and evil, can’t restrain their curiosity, fail to foresee the distant future, and pursue only immediate pleasure.”

Up to this point, his words weren’t hard to understand. After all, I’d already vaguely sensed that fairies differed somewhat from ordinary humans.

“Since you’ve become a changeling—a half-fairy—you now have an even blend of human and fairy traits… Sigh. Anyway, your judgment is distant from that of an average person precisely because of these characteristics.”

Why was he making it sound like *he* was the one suffering a headache? I swallowed my irritation as much as I could and spoke.

“You seem to know a lot about fairies?”

“It’s just that… you’ve been causing far too much trouble lately…”

What’s with that wistful look, as if reminiscing about the past? I almost retorted, “In this worldline, you’ve caused way more trouble than I have,” but held back.

Or rather, isn’t my nature different from typical fairies because I’m supposedly the heir to the Fairy King or something?”

As I spoke, my anger flared up, and I ended up shouting without meaning to. Cheon Shin Woo still wore that expression showing he barely trusted a word I said, yet the more I talked, the more something seemed to click in my mind.

I suddenly realized I’d stood up without even noticing and sat back down. Ah, it really is hard living with blood relatives.

“…It’s true, as you said, that fairies are frozen in their purest state, chasing only immediate joy and unable to contain their curiosity. But not all of them are like that. Didn’t you see Dullahan? That headless knight is also a fairy—did they seem like someone chasing only momentary pleasure?”
