"Master! Did you dream of the fairy forest?" asked Twaila.

Riki looked at Twaila in confusion, then glanced around him.

He was still in the office.

"It felt so real! Suddenly the forest withered and died!" said Riki, still looking dazed.

Twaila smiled, making Riki even more confused.

"That happened several years ago, master. Now the forest is indeed dead."

Riki frowned in surprise upon hearing this. "So... the forest really existed?" asked Riki.

Twaila nodded, then pointed to the pocket of the suit Riki was wearing, "Isn't there a Demon King's ring there? Put it on. That ring is what gave you that dream. Because the reason the fairy forest became like that is because of the Demon King."

Riki was even more confused, even though he had drunk the matcha latte Twaila had bought for him and it made his eyes feel refreshed. Still, Riki didn't understand what Twaila was saying.

"Wait a minute, isn't this ring the one that allows the Demon King to control the fairies?" asked Riki, holding up the ring.

It looked like an ordinary ring, with a bright red ruby in the center. Riki still didn't understand why he had gotten the ring. Even though he lived in the modern world.

Twaila snatched the ring and put it on Riki's middle finger, because that was the only finger it fit on.

"That is precisely the main cause of the conflict between the fairies. You already know about the black fairies, right? Fairies are divided into two types, black fairies and light fairies. The dark fairies have one very powerful high-ranking fairy who is the subordinate of the Demon King. Meanwhile, the light fairies have several high-ranking fairies who oppose the Demon King's rule over the fairy world. The light fairies, aided by several powerful kingdoms, were finally able to defeat the Demon King. Then, the Demon King was furious, so he cursed the fairy forest until nothing remained of it. After that, the Demon King disappeared, along with the ring," said Twaila.

Riki raised his hand high to look at the ring that was now on his finger.

"Then, why was this ring given to me? Does this mean I have to get rid of the black fairies who are causing trouble here?" asked Riki.

Twaila laughed upon hearing this, "Hahaha, probably not. The ring can only be worn by someone who is very powerful, master. But, if you, who are a good person, say so, I'm sure even the high-level light fairies will like you."

"Well, but I don't feel like I need fairies, Twaila, other than you, of course," said Riki.

Twaila shrugged, "I don't know, we'll see. It could be that the fairies will come and beg to make a contract with you."

Riki laughed when he heard this, "Hahaha, why would they have to beg for that? What's the point of having a contract with me?" said Riki. He felt silly at that moment. It was impossible for a fairy to suddenly come to him and beg to make a contract with Riki.

That's what was on Riki's mind until that night, when he went to cheer up Liz and her group, who were going to do their final shoot for their music video that night.

Riki left with Twaila, who still wanted to be Riki's personal driver. Riki remembered Anton, who was very happy to be Riki's personal driver. Even though Riki could drive his own car.

[Your final mission today is to find a girl to replace Kaitlyn for her debut with Liz, Angeline, and Selene]

[There is no reward, but if you refuse this mission, everything will be ruined, and Liz may not be able to debut as an idol as she had imagined]

"W-What?" Riki muttered.

He was completely confused. What was really going on? Why did he suddenly have to find a replacement for Kaitlyn?

"We're here, Master—why do you look so pale?" asked Twaila.

Riki hurriedly got out of the car.

"Come on, Twaila, we have to find out what's going on," said Riki.

They hurriedly entered the castle that was usually rented for filming. It was the last filming location.

But why did Riki suddenly have to find a replacement for Kaitlyn, who was perfect for the girl group's debut lineup? It didn't make sense.

As soon as Riki entered the castle, he could see the chaos there.

Seeing Riki arrive, Liz immediately ran and hugged Riki, crying uncontrollably.

"What happened here?" asked Riki.

Liz just kept crying, unable to answer Riki's question. However, Angeline and Selene immediately came to explain.

"Kaitlyn had an accident on her way here. Now the CEO and several staff members are at the hospital. We thought we would continue filming. Then when Kaitlyn recovered, she would continue her part. But it turns out—" Angeline couldn't continue her explanation because she was also sad. She cried, but not as loudly as Liz.

Of course Liz was very sad, because Kaitlyn had recently become close to her. In fact, Kaitlyn had said that her dream would finally come true.

However...

"The CEO said Kaitlyn passed away, just now, ten minutes ago," said Selene, then she also cried with the others.

It turned out that not only two, but three good people had left this cruel world.

That night, filming was postponed.

Riki had to find a replacement within a week. Not for the mission, but for the girls, the staff who had worked so hard, the producers, choreographers, and others.

Riki didn't want to let them suffer any longer.

But how would Riki find a replacement for Kaitlyn?

It was midnight. Riki was pondering on the balcony of his apartment.

He chose to stay at his apartment because he wanted to be alone for a while.

Riki wasn't alone; he was with Liz, his girl, who couldn't stop crying.

Riki was sure Liz would cry again tomorrow morning at Kaitlyn's funeral.

In fact, Liz had already fallen asleep from crying so much.

Riki set down his glass of Americano, which tasted bland on his tongue.

"Do you need my help?"

Riki jumped at the sound. He looked around, but couldn't find anything.

Then, a bright light appeared in front of him, and poof! It turned into a fairy the size of human, floating in front of Riki's balcony.

"Are you a fairy?" asked Riki.

The fairy descended until she was in front of Riki, then she smiled and nodded slightly.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Keira, a fairy of light who has the special ability to imitate other people's talents. I see that you are in great difficulty, handsome young master... if you make a contract with me, then we will both benefit. You will get a replacement for someone who has been lost, and I can become human!"

Riki furrowed his brow, "You... want to become human? Why would a fairy want that?"

The fairy named Keira laughed upon hearing this, her laughter was so melodious that it surprised Riki.

How could someone laugh like that?

Well, she wasn't a person, but a fairy, but still.

"We fairies also want to experience being human, especially in the modern world! A place where all kinds of pleasures and fleeting happiness are everywhere! And also... I can enjoy so many delicious foods in this world! It's amazing! Please, accept me... after all, you don't have much time to find another replacement. I also want to be an idol." The fairy ended her speech by looking at Riki with her big, bright blue, beautiful eyes.

"Ugh, fine. But how do we make the contract?" asked Riki.

Suddenly, Keira approached Riki and kissed his cheek.

Riki felt his body enveloped in bright light when his cheek was kissed. It felt strange, but also quite pleasant.

"It's done! Now I'm also connected to you, just like Twaila! In preparation, I will look for the woman who died, to learn her talents," said Keira, before another loud poof sound was heard and she disappeared.

Riki suddenly felt dizzy, so he chose to sit down and finish his americano.

[Congratulations! You have obtained a new fairy!]

[Your mission to find a replacement for Kaitlyn is complete!]

[Your reward is an increase in the use of detection skills]

[Now, you can rest assured that the girls' dreams and the sacrifices of several other staff members were not in vain]

Riki went back inside, closed the apartment door, and slept next to Liz.

The girl was still sobbing softly in her sleep.

Riki gently stroked the girl's cheeks, which were red and swollen from crying too much.

However, when Riki pulled his hand back, Liz was startled and woke up. The girl held Riki's hand tightly.

"Riki, where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere, just go to sleep, I'm here."

Liz smiled faintly, then said, "Riki, I had a strange dream. Suddenly, my friend Kaitlyn died... something like that couldn't happen, right? She was so excited to debut with us, she also trained for years for this—"

Liz fell silent when Riki suddenly hugged her tightly, stroking her back gently.

"Riki?"

"It's all real, Liz. Kaitlyn is gone... but you don't need to worry about anything, everything will be fine."

"Is this Hannah's doing too?" Liz blurted out, making Riki fall silent.

He knew it was probably Hannah up to her old tricks again. But Riki couldn't push Leon to suddenly arrest Hannah without strong evidence.

"Liz..."

"She might take you away from me. She even tried to kill Kaitlyn so I couldn't debut as an idol. She did the same thing to Selene back then, although she didn't succeed."

"Calm down, Liz... you will definitely debut, don't worry."

"How can I debut now, Riki? After Kaitlyn died, who can replace her? She was our main vocalist... while I can't—"

"You can, you can do it, stop worrying so much," said Riki, then he forced himself to kiss the girl's lips, just to make her feel calm.
