「One~~More~~Time~~?」

「「「All~~is~~Set!!!」」」

And now it starts. A large Hide and Seek tournament with the participation of more than that, 150 fairies that along with Testania-san as the ones searching. and over 300 fairies including Norn-san Hiding from the ONI. We can do it on a large scale because fairies have small bodies, so everyone can hide all over the world tree.

Later, the roles in Hide and seek began to change into 『Goblins』 for the ones who seeks and 『Adventurers』 for the ones trying to hide and run away, It was really interesting.

You must be thinking why were we doing this? It's as a way to learn the skill 『Concealment』.

「How do you learn the skill 『Concealment』?」

「Hmmm... How about we seek the fairies with that skill」

Norn-san then looked for fairies that are hiding using 『Fairy Eyes』 and listened to their explanation, they were a group playing hide and seek. Understanding the situation, the two people nodded that playing hide and seek was the most effective method to learn the skill.

And then Norn-san consulted it with Testania-san and arranged a wide scale game. Testania-san have given the approval quickly without trouble.

All the fairies also joined in and everyone accepted, and that's how this event began.

(Now then, just being hidden is to leisurely, I might as well practice at the same time.)

I have learned the tricks of hiding from other fairies, the most important part is to know how to hide your 「Presence」. But how do you consciously hide it? As they have said, you need to feel your surroundings and then try to blend your element with it. Because of the difficulty of blending fire and water those types of fairies seems to be bad at hiding. They are the first ones to be easily discovered.

(In my case, since my element is space itself. it should be much easier to meld in...)

While trying to align myself with the area around me as if I am space itself, I try to resonate with the surrounding.

(... .... ... oh?)

Right now, [I'm starting to feel that my existence is becoming dim, though I had only just begun. I melded myself into space at this constant rate.

On the far corners, I could hear Testania-san finding fairies one after another. Arena was also quickly caught. Testania-san sure is good at locating hiders.

「Now then, only Norn and Aidle remains」

As Testania-san declared. Did you prepare something for the hide and seek in the open plaza, there's something like a big Iron Cage. There are fairies that have taken the roles of ONI. There are fairies inside calling out things like 「Help Me!」「We have something delicious」「I'm dead it's over」 and all of them seem to be having fun.

「Fufufu, the only place left that I haven't looked into is the throne room after all♪」

Testania-san walks toward the throne room and enters, then checked everything in the interior of the throne. There seems to be nowhere to hide in there at first sight. Is there even a place to hide there?

「Now, let's see...」

Testania-san seems to be listening to something, It's only a few minutes of silence, then she starts walking with a satisfied face. The place where she stopped in front of me is the throne she always sits at. Then she slowly extended her hand towards the throne where nobody is sitting, and the space in that place started to distort.
