Reincarnated as a Fairy: My Magic Wings Will Soar Above This Fantasy World!

The sun had just begun to climb the horizon, casting its warm rays over the capital city as Lyra stood by her window. The soft golden light bathed the room, illuminating the various magical items she had worked tirelessly to perfect. Her mind briefly drifted to the accomplishments of the past few weeks—securing installations for so many customers, setting up defensive and cleaning systems, and making a name for herself. She had seen so much, yet she knew that this was just the beginning. She felt an unwavering sense of anticipation, for today’s visit was a significant step toward the next phase of her journey.

Lyra picked up her satchel, now brimming with enchanted tools, and glanced at the list once more. Today’s destination was the Merchant’s Guild—a prestigious organization known for its vast influence over trade and business in the capital. Their request had come in a few days prior, and it was one she had been looking forward to. With her magical skills, she could enhance the guild’s security and help maintain a pristine environment for its members. It was a challenge that Lyra knew she was more than capable of handling.

"Alright, let’s get to work," she murmured as she adjusted her cloak and made her way out the door, the weight of the magical runes and crystals resting comfortably in her bag.

The city was already bustling with activity as she made her way down the familiar streets. Merchants were opening their stalls, street vendors called out to potential customers, and children ran through the streets, their laughter echoing in the air. The day was just beginning, and the capital was alive with energy.

As Lyra approached the Merchant's Guild, she couldn't help but admire the grandeur of the building. It towered above the other structures in the district, a testament to the guild’s influence. The architecture was a mix of ancient stone and modern enhancements, with tall marble columns flanking the entrance and intricate carvings adorning the façade. The guild’s emblem—an intertwined serpent and coin—was proudly displayed at the top, shining in the daylight.

She pushed open the massive doors and stepped inside, her eyes taking in the lavish interior. The walls were lined with tapestries, some depicting legendary merchants, others showcasing great trades and exchanges that had occurred over the years. The scent of polished wood and fine leather filled the air, and the sound of murmured conversations buzzed softly around her. She could see the hustle and bustle of the guild in full swing. People moved with purpose, discussing trade deals, haggling prices, and exchanging information. It was the lifeblood of the city’s economy, and Lyra felt a thrill of excitement.

She made her way to the front desk, where a well-dressed woman sat, her gaze flicking up as Lyra approached.

"Welcome to the Merchant’s Guild. How may I assist you today?" The receptionist’s voice was smooth, professional, yet welcoming.

"I’m Lyra Everleaf," she replied, offering a small smile. "I have an appointment to install the cleaning and security systems you requested."

The receptionist’s eyes narrowed slightly in recognition, and she gave a nod. "Of course, Miss Everleaf. I’ll inform Guild Master Veylor that you’ve arrived. Please, take a seat." She gestured to a nearby bench, and Lyra sat down, taking a moment to gather her thoughts.

The minutes stretched on as she waited, but it wasn’t long before the receptionist returned, followed by a tall man with a commanding presence. He had short-cropped gray hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and sharp, intelligent eyes that seemed to take in everything at once. His clothes were fine and tailored, but there was an air of practicality about him, as though he could seamlessly transition from a merchant to a warrior if needed.

"Miss Everleaf," he greeted her, his voice rich with authority. "I am Korrin Veylor, Guild Master of the Merchant’s Guild. I trust your travels have been pleasant?"

Lyra stood and bowed her head slightly in respect. "Thank you, Guild Master. The journey was smooth."

"Excellent," Korrin said, smiling warmly. "Let’s head to the designated installation area. I’ll show you where we’d like the systems placed."

Lyra followed Korrin through the bustling guild hall, past rows of merchants discussing deals and traders conducting exchanges. As they walked, Korrin explained the needs of the guild in more detail.

"We handle a lot of sensitive materials here, and security is paramount. We store rare magical items, ancient artifacts, and a wealth of knowledge in the form of scrolls and tomes. We need your security system to ensure nothing—no one—gets past our defenses." His voice was steady, the weight of responsibility clear in his tone.

"I understand," Lyra replied, her mind already working through the necessary preparations. She had designed these systems to be both efficient and discreet—an essential feature for a place like this.

They arrived at a large, open hall, its marble floors gleaming under the sunlight that filtered through the high windows. The hall was beautiful but also intimidating in its vastness. Tall pillars lined the walls, and large tapestries depicting the guild’s storied history hung from above.

"This is the space we’d like to focus on," Korrin explained. "The vault is located just beyond this hall, and it requires constant surveillance. We also have meeting rooms and trading spaces in here. We need the systems to cover both the public areas and the more restricted sections."

Lyra nodded, taking in the space. She could see that the hall had great potential. The high ceilings and wide open spaces would allow the defense systems to be both effective and unobtrusive.

"Excellent," she said, her voice calm and focused. "I’ll install the security system along the perimeter, discreetly woven into the architecture. The runes will activate only if an intruder crosses a specific threshold. It will remain undetectable until needed."

Korrin raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Impressive. What about the cleaning system?"

Lyra smiled. "I’ll set up the cleaning runes in a series of enchanted lamps. Each one will be connected to a magical core that, when infused with mana, will keep the floor spotless, windows clear, and the air fresh. It’s low-maintenance but highly effective."

She moved into action, pulling out the necessary materials from her bag. She began by placing small, enchanted runes around the perimeter of the hall, ensuring they were integrated into the stonework. The glowing lines of magic pulsed softly as she worked, and the air around her seemed to hum with energy.

Korrin watched her work, impressed by the precision and care she put into every movement. He had seen many magic users over the years, but none with the level of skill and dedication that Lyra displayed.

Once the security system was in place, Lyra turned her attention to the cleaning runes. She carefully affixed them to the enchanted lamps hanging from the ceiling, connecting them to the central magical cores. The magic would work on a cycle, cleaning the hall periodically and ensuring the space always looked presentable.

After a few more adjustments and infusions of mana, Lyra stood back, admiring her work. The hall now felt both safer and more welcoming.

"It’s done," she said with satisfaction. "You’ll find the system easy to maintain. Simply feed a bit of mana into the cores when they run low, and everything will continue to operate smoothly."

Korrin nodded approvingly, his expression one of respect. "You’ve done an excellent job, Miss Everleaf. This will keep the guild secure and pristine for years to come. Here’s your payment."

He handed her a pouch filled with several gold coins. Lyra accepted it with a bow.

"Thank you, Guild Master," she said with a smile. "It’s been a pleasure working with you."

With a final exchange of pleasantries, Lyra left the Merchant’s Guild, the weight of her completed work settling comfortably in her chest. Another successful installation was behind her, and her reputation was steadily growing.

As she made her way back through the city’s streets, she felt the excitement of what was to come. This was just the beginning of her business, and she had already made an impact. The future was wide open, full of possibilities—and Lyra Everleaf was ready to embrace whatever came next.
