Together with Fullru, I bowed my head to Ferris-san.
No—Fullru refused to lower her head, so I pressed it down for her.
"I'm really sorry. The natural energy around here decreasing a few days ago was without a doubt this one's fault."
"I-I'm not particularly at fault, you know."
"Yes. Please don't mind it. It is only natural for an elf to absorb the natural energy of a forest."
"See? Even the fairy is saying so. An elf absorbing the natural energy of a forest is the same as a human eating meat or fruit."
"But if you had kept your natural-energy replenishment at a moderate level, the other fairies could have remained active a little longer until winter."
"Masaharu-san. It is truly fine. Please do not blame the elf. We only entered dormancy a few weeks earlier. It does not shorten our lifespan or anything. Please do not concern yourself at all. When spring comes everyone will be energetic again."
