The atmosphere froze. Mag lifted an eyebrow as he looked at the pop-up ad. Part of him wanted to yell at the system, but another part wanted to laugh.
For a while, the system said nothing. Finally, it said in an embarrassed voice, âMy badâ¦â Then the ad disappeared.
Mag shook his head, and sighed silently. Itâs really all about money. It must have forgotten why it is here. I donât know if itâs a good or bad thing. Still, holographic games might be interesting.
Mag wasted no time before going downstairs. The two little things were still waiting.
âWhere is the Mushroom Fairy, Father?â Amy asked nervously as she walked quickly up to Mag, staring at the empty music box.
Ugly Duckling stopped running, lay down on the ground, and started panting.
I will never eat this much ever again! it thought to itself.
Yabemiya walked over to them, confused. Mag said he would make the elf even more wonderful, but where is it now?
Of course, she was sure that Mag would never lie to Amy; it was just she didnât know how to explain to herself what she was seeing. Would he conjure up the elf out of thin air?
âDonât worry, and donât blink. Prepare to be amazed.â Mag didnât explain. He put the music box on the table, and tapped an icon on the screen.
Amy and Yabemiya were gazing at the music box with wide eyes, excited. Even the kitten was looking up as if wondering what would happen.
The lamps seemed to have been replaced by smaller versions of stage lamps.
With a clear âding-dongâ, all the lamps came on. Colorful lights moved across the glass ball, and focused in the middle.
âDing!â
Then, all the lights became one and exploded like fireworks in a spectacular display!
âWow!â
Amy and Yabemiya exclaimed at the same time. Their eyes lit up. They had never seen anything like this before. The lights were even more beautiful than those on the Peace Memorial Day.
After the explosion, the lights didnât disappear, but gathered together and exploded again.
Finally, the lights were gone, and a beautiful blond elf appeared, with long eyelashes, pretty eyes, slim legs, and a knee-long silver dress. She nodded with a smile. âIâm Annie. Nice to meet you.â
âItâs amazing!â Amy said, clapping her hands. She walked around the table, her mouth open. The elf looked so real right now. Her skin was white and shining, and she smiled so naturally, just like a real elf would smile.
Yabemiya looked confused as well as surprised. Sheâs so cute! But did he summon it by magic? The lights might be used for the magic, but she looks so real, and she can talk!
Ugly Duckling, which had been lying on the ground, got back to its feet quickly, and walked curiously over to them, craning its neck to get a better look.
âNo, youâre not Annie. Youâre Mushroom Fairy,â Amy said as she realized, shaking her head.
The little elf cast a confused look at Amy.
Impressive! Mag thought as he stared at the elf. The 3-D holographic technology was pretty advanced in his past life. One of Luo Tianyiâs concerts had used this technology before.
The system had done a great job. The definition of the image was excellent; even subtle expressions were so clear.
The elf might not be as intelligent as the system, but it was smart enough.
Also, it could become smarter through learning. Mag mightâve found the system admirable if it were not a money-grubber.
The 20,000 copper coins seem worth it. Iâm looking forward to the holographic games. Mag smiled as he looked at Amyâs cheerful face.
âMushroom Fairy is your real name, not Annie. You must have forgotten,â Amy said solemnly.
The little elf looked more confused now. âI have forgotten my name?â
âYes. Youâre Mushroom Fairy,â Amy said with iron certainty, giving a solemn nod.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm Mushroom Fairy?â
Amy nodded. âYou are.â
The little elf gave a nod. âHi, Iâm Mushroom Fairy.â
âYou have finally remembered!â Amy said merrily, clapping her hands.
Mag gave a strange look as he watched the elf who had been brainwashed by Amy. Amy has brought her IQ down to her level.
Yabemiyaâs mouth opened and closed. She didnât believe what she was seeing. She didnât say anything, though, since the elf seemed pretty happy with her new name.
âOkay. Do you want to learn how to dance?â Mag said, and was about to tap the screen.
âOnly âGokuraku Jodoâ is available right now. Do you want to learn this one?â asked the little elf.
âYes!â Amy and Yabemiya said simultaneously, gazing at the elf with a surprised look. She can understand our words!
âWell, you have to find an open space about 3 meters square so that you wonât bump into anything while learning,â Mushroom Fairy said with a smile. âLet me show you how to dance to this song first.â
The music started, and the elf began dancing in her silver dress.
No one else has ever watched an elf dance to this song, I think⦠He looked at the graceful dancer, and nodded. âNot bad.â
