An Otherworldly Wonderland

No sooner had the words left his mouth than an "unidentified flying object" sped towards them. 👊😳 🎁💋

When she got closer, I realized she was a little witch. Her huge hat was disproportionate to her small body, but her round face was very cute.

She wasn't riding a broom, but a staff, with a little elf following beside her.

Isn't that Lulu?

Lulu's cheeks puffed up with anger as she loudly demanded, "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble here!"

"Actually, we didn't mean to cause trouble, we just can't get out..."

I told her about how I suddenly came here from Frosthold, but Lulu didn't believe me.

"Liar! This space isn't something an ordinary mage can open! Looks like you won't tell the truth unless I teach you a lesson!"

Lulu raised her staff, from which swirled bursts of light. We quickly took defensive stances; the Yordle's attack was not easily countered!

"Etc!"

A clear shout interrupted Lulu, and a blonde beauty riding a unicorn arrived—it was Lux.

Quite some time has passed since the unicorn rescued her, yet she hasn't left and is still with Lulu.

"Wait, Lulu! They are my friends!"

"Your friend?" Lulu put away her staff, her eyes still not very friendly.

"Yes, they are my friends, please don't hurt them."

"How could your friend be so mean! Look what they've done to this place!"

"I don't think they did it on purpose, Yasuo and..."

"Riven, my name is Riven."

"Oh, sorry, what a terrible memory I have! How did you end up here?"

Before I could answer, Lulu interrupted us, "Okay, let's go inside and talk. I'm exhausted after being out playing for several days."

"Alright then, Yasuo, Riven, let's go inside and chat. Lulu's jam is delicious!"

"I won't give them any!"

Upon hearing this, Riven and I exchanged a glance, realizing something was wrong. So that was Lulu's room; no wonder the things inside were so small.

I didn't leave her a good impression just now. If she comes back to the house and sees that we've eaten all her jam, won't she be furious?

"Why aren't you two leaving?" Lux asked, puzzled by our hesitant steps.

"Um, there might be some misunderstanding. We've already tasted the jam."

What?! You guys secretly ate my jam!

"There's a reason for this. We've been here for three days and are almost starving to death."

"Okay, I forgive you. How was my jam? Isn't it delicious?"

I was surprised that Lulu was so easy to talk to, so I quickly replied, "It was so delicious! I'm still savoring it!"

"Haha, that's right! My jam is made with the Dewdrop Fruit from here; you can't find it in your world!"

Seeing Lulu's proud expression, I didn't dare tell her that we had already eaten all the jam, but inevitably she found out when we got back inside.

"You guys! You guys! You're driving me crazy!"

After Lulu finished speaking, she pointed at me with her staff, and I suddenly felt that the others had become unusually tall.

Oh no, it's not that they got bigger, it's that I got smaller, because the jam jar next to me is the same height as me!

What did you do to Yasuo?!

Riven got a little angry, but then Lulu pointed at her and she turned into a rabbit!

I held out my hand and looked at it. If I'm not mistaken, I've turned into a cat!

"You dared to steal food!"

"They don't know either, and besides, who could resist such delicious jam..."

Lux pleaded incessantly, Lulu's tense face gradually relaxed. Finally, she sighed.

"Sigh, ignorance is no excuse, I'll let you off this time!" With that, she waved her staff again, and we transformed back into human form.

"Thank you, we were really starving, and the more we ate, the better it tasted, so we couldn't stop."

"Hmph, do you know how long it took me to make those jams? Three hundred years! Oh no, six hundred years! No, no, nine hundred years..."

Lulu was a bit incoherent, but I still managed to understand her in the end.

It turns out that the jam we were eating was made from a unique local fruit called Dewdrop Fruit. This fruit only ripens once every three hundred years, and only about ten fruits are produced each time.

Lulu spent nearly 1,200 years making these jams!

This jam is not only incredibly delicious, but it also has health benefits. These benefits mean nothing to the Yordle, but they are a miracle cure for us.

With all the accumulated fatigue and hidden injuries gone, our physical bodies are greatly enhanced, and we can basically ignore low-level magic and physical attacks!

This was a truly unexpected gain. Apart from feeling a little guilty, I was overjoyed!

"It's a pity you're not mages, otherwise you would definitely be able to unleash incredibly powerful magic!" Lulu with a hint of regret.

"I really don't know how to thank you. Could you tell me the will that prompted your birth? If I can help, I'm willing to show my gratitude with practical actions!"

"Oh? You know about the Will of the Yordles? But I am the embodiment of 'Whimsy,' you can't help me."

Whimsy? That's quite abstract. I thought all Yordle had practical needs, but it seems there are exceptions.

"Actually, I heard about you from Poppy, and my knowledge of the Yordle also comes from her."

"Poppy? Let me think... Is he the little guy who can't find his interests?"

I think she should have found it by now.

"Really? I haven't seen her in a long time. Since you have a connection with the Yordle, then I won't blame you."

"Actually, besides Poppy, I've had dealings with Yordle. The Gale I just used was taught by Kled."

"Kled, you annoying guy."

I wanted to get closer to Lulu, but I didn't expect her to dislike Kled so much. It seems like they had an unpleasant experience together.

"By the way, I saw Gnar not long ago. I wonder what his will is."

"He's even more despicable Kled! He was the will to destroy, and only went to your world because everyone hated him."

Okay, I've mentioned two people, both of whom Lulu dislikes, but seeing my connection with the Yordle made her happy.

After the jam incident, Lulu asked about our origins, "By the way, how did you get here?"

"It was suddenly teleported from the Frosthold in northern Freljord; it might be a conspiracy."

"That can't be right. Where did you appear? Take me there."

We arrived at the place where we first appeared. Lulu used magic to investigate and then said:

"You guys wait here, I'll go out and check!"

After saying that, she suddenly disappeared, only to return a few minutes later.

"I know what happened!"
