Chapter 19 The Battle Begins

In the following days, everything went on in an orderly manner.

After vaguely realizing the unfavorable situation faced by the golden Fairy, Willem began to study and learn continuously.

He wanted to liberate the golden Fairy.

As he continued to learn more, he discovered that the golden fairies were now being used as weapons.

The underage golden fairies whose talents had not blossomed were sent away, and the adult golden fairies were required to fight with their lives.

On a desolate island, no contact with the outside world is allowed...

All signs indicate that the Golden Fairy has never been awarded human rights. This was unacceptable to Willem.

Although he had the reassuring support of Yatogami Tohka as an ally, using force to coerce the military to raise the status of the Golden Demon Spirit was the last resort when all else failed.

If it can be resolved peacefully, it is best to resolve it peacefully.

However, the peaceful days did not last forever.

Before Willem could find a feasible solution, a new storm had already arrived. A large number of the Sixth Beasts floating up from the ground were detected by patrol ships.

They were approaching the floating continental archipelago at a very fast speed. The direction they were floating up was the area guarded by the Second Division.

After learning this information, Graycrack immediately assembled his army and prepared to fight.

The assembled army naturally included the main force responsible for fighting the Sixth Beast, the golden fairies from the Fourth Fairy Warehouse.

Five days after Yatogami Tohka and Willem reached a partnership, a warship stopped at the harbor of the fourth fairy warehouse floating island.

At the harbor, the two managers, Nygglatho and Willem, watched the three fully armed golden fairies leave and head to the dangerous battlefield. "Be sure to pay attention to safety." Nygglatho reminded again,

"Don't think about earning military merits, those things are meaningless to you, you must remember that your own life is the most important."

"I have taught you everything I can. You have also learned how to use the true holy sword. At least you no longer need to burn your life to gain magic power in battle." Willem said,

"But even if you have learned a way to fight without risking your life, don't underestimate the enemy. Although you are all experienced warriors, you also know that this battle is more dangerous than ever before."

"We will be careful. For the sake of our agreement, I will definitely come back safely." Chtholly said seriously.

"Wow, I didn't expect to be shown affection again before leaving. I am so upset." Ithea screamed.

"Let's go quickly before the troublesome guy comes." Nephren reminded.

"You mean Tohka? Don't worry, she's still sleeping at this hour." Ithea laughed.

"But Nephren really cares about Tohka. She even asked all of us to hide this battle from Tohka. Doesn't that make her worried?"

"Because she's an idiot. If she knew, she would definitely clamor to come along."

"Well, that's true. Although that guy is very strong, we would still be worried if he really went to the battlefield."

Although the people in the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, the Ogres, and the Golden Fairies all knew the strength of Yatogami Tohka , especially Willem, who personally experienced the opponent's unstoppable momentum like a chariot in that competition, everyone including him knew that

perhaps the strongest in the Fourth Fairy Warehouse was not the Golden Fairy, but this girl whose race could not be named.

Even Chtholly, the strongest golden fairy who can wield the strongest holy sword, would probably not be her opponent if she did not burn her life to open the Fairy Garden.

However, the battlefield is not a place where only the strongest can survive.

In such a complex and changing environment, although combat effectiveness is also important, experience is more important.

As for Yatogami Tohka , who had lost her memory, it was impossible for her to have any experience in fighting the Sixth Beast.

The Sixth Beast was not so easy to deal with.

Even a battle-hardened golden fairy would be defeated if he was not careful. Moreover, according to the military's prediction, the number of the Sixth Beast that appeared this time would be three times that of the past.

This doesn't mean that surviving on the battlefield has become three times more difficult.

If Willem had not taught them the correct way to use the holy sword, allowing them to unleash its powerful strength without burning their lives, this battle might have been disastrous for them.

But even if they learned the new fighting method taught by Willem, the chance of everyone coming back alive would only increase slightly.

Under such circumstances, it would be even more impossible for them to take a new soldier, Yatogami Tohka , to such a cruel battlefield.

"When Tohka wakes up and finds that we are gone, she will definitely be angry." Nephren said.

"When that happens, I can only trouble you to bear with me."

"Look at what you said, Tohka is not a stranger to us." Nygglatho said.

"Don't worry, just ask Willem to make him something delicious when the time comes."

"Well, actually, I had already prepared the ingredients yesterday." Willem was well prepared, with a look of foresight.

"It will definitely be so delicious that she won't

even have the mind to get angry. This time I'm using Willem exclusive secret recipe."

"Wow, that sounds delicious. I'm already hungry."

"Haha, when you return triumphantly, I will make another identical meal for you."

"Okay." Chtholly said expectantly.

"Actually, there is one more thing."

Nephren continued, "Nygglatho, make a little more for dinner and save some for a midnight snack, otherwise Tohka will sneak into the kitchen and eat it at night."

"I've been cooking extra dinners for fifteen people these days, but it's still not enough." Nygglatho shook her head with a smile.

"So you've been practicing your cooking skills all this time because you're making midnight snacks for Tohka? You've really worked hard."

"It's not hard at all. Watching Tohka eat is quite enjoyable."

"Ahaha, I thought so too."

After that, the five of them gave each other some instructions, and after confirming that they had not forgotten anything, they waved goodbye.

Carrying their luggage and relic weapons, the three golden fairies boarded the ship and prepared to leave. With the sound of the whistle, the warship started and slowly sailed out of the port.

"Why, are you disappointed?"

Looking at Nephren standing on the deck looking at the dock, Ithea walked up to her with a smile and said, "I really want Tohka to see you off Bar?"

"No, I was just wondering if there was anything I forgot to bring."

Nephren retracted her gaze and said calmly: "It was me who asked everyone to keep it a secret from her. How can we expect her to see us off now?" The three of them walked into the cabin.

This was not their first mission, so everyone seemed familiar with the situation.

After getting the cabin assigned to them from the ship's first mate, the three of them immediately set off to the crew rest area to find their own sleeping quarters for the next few days.

As they walked, they passed by other orc soldiers, allowing Chtholly and the others to overhear their conversation. "Have you heard? There's a golden fairy in the cafeteria that you've never seen before."

"Stop talking, I just came back from the cafeteria, and I'm not full at all."

"What's wrong?"

"What else could she do? She ate it all. She doesn't have much of an appetite but she's like a troll."

"How much did she eat?"

"Several bowls! I just hope the purchasing officer has prepared enough food before setting off this time, otherwise we will have to beg for food from other warships!" Two orc warriors walked over, and the voices became farther and farther away.

But what they said afterwards was no longer important. The three golden fairies stood there, looking at each other.

"I feel..."

"It should be..."

"Do you want to..."

The three of them took a deep breath.

Without even putting down their things, they all ran to the cafeteria.

Carrying large and small bags and relic weapons, they pushed open the door of the battleship cafeteria under the surprised gaze of other orc warriors. Then, they heard that familiar voice.

"Oh, you are finally here."

Yatogami Tohka , who had been waiting for them in the cafeteria early in the morning, raised her head and smiled brightly with mashed potatoes on her lips.

"I hope you have eaten at home, because there is no food here!"

Chapter 20 Random Task Release

This morning, Yatogami Tohka didn't sleep until she woke up naturally.

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was not the ceiling or the floor, but a task page that popped up from the system.

[Random Task Release]

[Random Mission: Participate in the defense of the 15th floating island and ensure that Chthollypersonality is completed]

"What's going on? Why are random missions suddenly issued?"

It took Yatogami Tohka a long time to figure out what happened. Calculating the time and speculating the timeline, it was almost time for the key battle in the original work: the defense battle of the fifteenth floating island.

This was an extremely difficult battle in the history of the floating continent archipelago.

If Willem had not appeared and allowed Chtholly and the others to learn how to use the holy sword from ancient human heroes, they would have been prepared to obey the military's orders, burn their lives to open the Fairy Corridor, and burst out all their strength in this battle to kill the Sixth Beast that floated to the Fifteenth Floating Island, protecting the territory of the Floating Continent Archipelago at the cost of their lives.

However, in the original novel, even with a new way of fighting that gave them options other than burning their lives, the intensity of the battlefield was still far beyond everyone's imagination.

In order to meet Willem again, Chtholly opened the Fairy Corridor. Although she did not die from burning her life, she worked too hard in this battle, causing the past life erosion disease to rapidly become serious, and her personality collapsed.

Personality breakdown is irreversible.

Once the symptoms appear, even if the golden fairy no longer uses magic, she will gradually forget everything in the past as time goes by.

This battle also doomed Chtholly and Willem to have no future.

Yatogami Tohka is the only one who can reverse the tragedy. Seeing the system release this random task, Yatogami Tohka mouth slightly raised.

Because even if the system did not release this task, she was ready to join in the fun when the defense battle of the fifteenth floating island began.

Now, the system released this task, which was a free reward for her to complete the random task. It can be said that it was a rare generosity.

The random mission issued in the previous world was more difficult than the side mission. However, it was a happy thing that such a simple random mission could be triggered in this world.

Moreover, the system did not require her to successfully defend the 15th floating island, but only to ensure that Chthollypersonality was intact, which was even simpler.

All she needed to do was to kill people on the battlefield.

For a pentagonal combat spirit like Tohka, is there anything easier than going to the battlefield to kill the enemy? She has spent a lot of effort in the past few days to instigate Wilhelm and other golden fairies to rise up against the floating continent archipelago.

But in the final analysis, this kind of thing should not be done by Yatogami Tohka at all. If she does it too much, others will notice that something is wrong, and her role performance will definitely not be high when the mission is settled.

Starting a revolution is not what Yatogami Tohka should do.

Being reckless on the battlefield is what Yatogami Tohka should do.

Therefore, for her, participating in the 15th floating island defense battle is definitely a good thing that kills four birds with one stone. Not only can she better play the role of

Yatogami Tohka , but she can also let Chtholly and Willem have a future, and the side quest of killing the seventeen beasts can also be advanced a little, and she can even

complete a random task and get another task reward.

Why wouldn't I go?

After receiving the mission, her remaining sleepiness disappeared immediately, and she ran outside to look for Chtholly with great interest. However, after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find Chtholly.

He wasn't in her bedroom, Willem bedroom, Nigellan's bedroom, or the kitchen...

What was even more strange was that not only did Chtholly disappear, but all the adults in the entire Fourth Fairy Warehouse also disappeared.

It was not until she asked the underage golden fairies playing on the lawn that Yatogami Tohka learned that Chtholly and her group of five had left the mansion not long ago and went to the dock.

This made Yatogami Tohka feel extremely depressed.

They kept calling each other "partners" and thought that they could really share hardships.

But when the battle came, they just left and left her alone. She once again felt the feeling of being an outsider who wanted to fit in with the group when she was in college, but others didn't bring her in after they created a group.

Although she knew that the people here didn't have bad intentions, they didn't take her with them because they were afraid that she couldn't adapt to the fierce battle and worried that something might happen on the battlefield, so they left secretly.

However, this could not stop her determination.

After learning that Chtholly and her group were heading to the dock, Yatogami Tohka immediately summoned her divine power outfit and flew to the dock with all her strength.

However, she discovered that Chtholly and her group, who were walking, had not yet arrived.

The orc soldiers who arrived at the warship's dock first and were ordered to wait here for the Golden Fairy to board the ship naturally recognized her as the Golden Fairy and

brought her into the warship.

Then, she got hungry.

It's not her fault. She didn't have breakfast this morning, and when she heard that Chtholly and the others wouldn't take her to play, she immediately rushed to the dock, fearing that she would miss the battleship if she was late.

This is not a bus stop. If you miss a bus, you can wait a while and there will be another one.

If the warship took the people away, she would have no way to find the location of the 15th floating island in the vast sky.

So she didn't even eat the breakfast left by Nygglatho and flew directly to the dock.

Fortunately, there was a canteen on the battleship that provided three meals a day.

Not wanting to wait for Chtholly and her group on an empty stomach, Yatogami Tohka followed the smell and found the cafeteria in the battleship.

Originally, due to the racial segregation law of the floating continental archipelago, the golden fairy could not eat in the cafeteria with other orc warriors. But Yatogami Tohka didn't care so much.

As they ate, Chtholly, Ithea, and Nephren finally boarded the ship and met in the cafeteria.

"Anyway, that's probably what happened."

On the battleship, under the serious gaze of the three golden fairies, Yatogami Tohka obediently recounted the story of how she appeared here. Of course, it was a modified version after the system was deleted.

"There's really nothing I can do about you." Nephren sighed, which was rare for her.

"Well, since we're here, we can't just chase Tohka away, right?" Itheasaid nonchalantly.

"Now, Willem and Nygglatho will be worried again," Chtholly said with a wry smile.
