Zeke snapped from his thoughts, and lowered his gazed on the ground. Though, he was able to nod as his response.


"I am quiet expecting that. No one would ever believe to them, nowadays. Even me, I haven't seen any fairy." Beatrice calmly replied and smiled while glancing to the wide flower field.
