Chapter 151: To Protect Everyone (5)
Murmur was a genius among fairies—
and that wasn’t a statement limited to his magical abilities.
Intelligence, creativity, focus, curiosity, critical thinking, emotional resilience...
Among fairies who typically never outgrew the mindset of children, he was nearly a mutation.
But for Murmur, such traits felt more like a curse than a blessing.
The loneliness of being different from the others weighed heavily on him, becoming a source of constant stress.
—Murmur! Come play with us!
—No, I... I’m sorry. I don’t think it’d be fun if I were there.
—What does that matter? Just having you there makes everything twice as fun!
—...Really?
—Of course it does!
But the other fairies accepted the slightly odd Murmur just as he was.
