Fairy Airi seemed very enthusiastic, perhaps because it was rare for her to see a human—and such a cute one at that.
But Natsuki Minamiya was not quite as enthusiastic toward her. She was merely curious about her origins and intrigued by some of the things she had said.
However, after exchanging a few words and deciding that Fairy Airi was unreliable, she shifted her attention back to Elysia and overturned her initial guess.
Though she looked like a fairy, Fairy Airi was more like... an artificial life-form. An artificial life-form modeled after Elysia herself.
No wonder she had felt somewhat familiar. But Fairy Airi was different from the artificial life-forms Natsuki knew of, which was why she had initially mistaken her for some kind of spirit based on her words...
"So, this Fairy Airi is actually an artificial life-form Elysia created using yourself as a model?"
After sitting down on the sofa and figuring out Fairy Airi's origins, Natsuki was no longer all that concerned. She was merely an artificial life-form; that was nothing unusual.
"Just as expected of Natsuki! You really are clever, even if you're not entirely right."
Elysia fully acknowledged Natsuki's intelligence and knowledge. With nothing to go on, she had figured out Fairy Airi's nature so quickly.
"You were broadly correct. She is indeed an Armed Doll I created using myself as a model. There are some differences from the artificial life-forms you mentioned, but they should be classified similarly."
"An Armed Doll... an artificial life-form from another world? No wonder..."
Playing with the fan Elysia had given her, Natsuki leaned back against the sofa. Her doubts had completely vanished.
"I'm not an artificial life-form, and I'm not an Armed Doll either! I'm a fairy from Fairyland, and I can use Rainbow Magic too."
