"Ok."

Yong Ye continued to move forward, while Nephraim silently followed behind him.

The so-called fairy is actually a naturally born thing, not a human, not a monster, nor an orc, but a kind of half-ghost.

The monsters deliberately created by the Floating Island Continent will be brought to the Fairy Warehouse by the Wing Guards and cultivated into weapons, or... a powerful bomb?

Because they are special living beings, most fairies remember the situation when they were first born, the wonderful moment when they changed from nothing to being, and the first memory when they started to exist.

The material that constitutes the fairies, the most intense emotions in the souls of the ancestors at the time of their death, will be left in the hearts of fairies and affect their lives.

As for Nephraim Luce Insania, the emotion her past life brought her is the sense of emptiness that still resides in her heart to this day.

The world has come to an end, and even now on the floating island, it's just lingering.

In the current situation, it is not surprising that it will suddenly be destroyed. Therefore, the anxiety that may disappear at any time is the feeling that does exist at the moment. Once you close your eyes and open your eyes again, you will lose the anxiety. Will the place disintegrate at any time, the anxiety of falling into the dark, and the problems that the fairies will face...

——Whether her own personality called Nephrym will be disintegrated and disappear completely, and then be replaced by others.

It was more of an uneasy feeling than nothingness, and it was still deeply ingrained in Nephren's heart to this day.

It is impossible to have feelings for the unstable things in the world, because it is something that is not surprising to lose at any time. That kind of anxiety has grown into everything that I pursued and has no meaning, and life seems to be an ethereal sense of emptiness.

She found a similar emotion in Yong Ye. It was the first time she met, but she felt familiar. It was as if she had seen the most nihilistic stage in her childhood. The feeling of anger, the sense of emptiness that overwhelmed her, the heavy and bitter memory.

Frankly speaking, her sense of emptiness comes from the past, or the feelings attached to the girl who was treated as a recyclable bomb in her previous life, but she couldn't understand what happened to Yongye, and she didn't understand what caused it. , so I didn't know how to treat him at first, and now... it's still not very clear.

But like Nigolan told her, if you are alone, if you have the same feelings for each other, then even if you are just by your side, you will feel more at ease when you are together. She believes that this must be right.

After returning to the house, Yong Ye, who was inexplicably emotional, put his hand on Nephren's little head, who was still thinking about something, and rudely stroked her silver hair.

"Well?"

After returning to her senses, Nephrin raised her head and glanced. Yong Ye, who had no expression on her face, did not push his hand away, but just lowered her head to think about the problem, but it was very fast. A voice came.

"It's almost time for dinner."

"So...what do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, you can eat it."

"Is that the case again? ... This is the most troublesome."

It was this indifferent attitude that made Nevelyn fall into trouble again. She didn't know what to eat for a while, so she couldn't help but think about what she should do.

On the other hand, Yong Ye picked up a bayonet that could be used as a dagger, and drew a spell on the ground like a child doodles until Nevelyn came to call him to eat.

Autumn passed quickly, and winter was approaching in a blink of an eye. Randoluke and Noft had already gone to the airship to act as escorts, and during this time.

When the adult goblin soldiers in the Goblin Warehouse went out to fight, Yong Ye secretly followed behind them, but they returned a day or two later than they had done nothing wrong. Just after returning this time, Nigolan told him that she had William's news.

William, who was sixteen years old, woke up a year and a half ago and is now almost eighteen.

In the past year and a half, he has been living a life of working in a hurry. He heard that he wanted to pay back the money that the salvagemen had spent on him. Now that half a year is over, Nigolan asked the green ghosts The salvager, Glick, tricked William when he was collecting money.

So this night, when Nevelyn went back to the goblin warehouse, Yong Ye also went to the goblin's warehouse.

His arrival at night made the goblins stop playing outdoors and hid in their respective rooms, seemingly going to bed early.

"I don't even know if I should thank you for letting those children go to sleep, or if I should be angry that you scared them."

In the living room, Nigolan sat opposite Yong Ye, brewing milk tea while shaking his head and complaining depressedly.

"I think you should be grateful to me. After all, isn't it a good thing to go to bed honestly? Children, you have to be a little afraid to be convenient, although they are actually quite afraid that you will be angry."

"So, what about the older kids?"

"...The older children just simply rejected me who denied their seniors. Well, I don't care. They have nothing to do with me anyway."

"Is it really?"

Nigolan looked at Yong Ye with suspicious eyes, and didn't quite believe Yong Ye's indifferent remarks.

"What else could it be?"

"I heard Lian say that when they go to the battlefield, you will disappear for a few days?"

"Ah... When Lian is not around, I have to find a place to eat, right? So I went to other floating islands to see."

"During this period of time, there are occasionally beasts on the battlefield who don't know who killed them, as if they were bombarded?"

"Have you forgotten about the chaos on the battlefield? It's also possible that spells have been added to the artillery fire of the wing guards, or some new spells have been developed."

"Don't lie, the magic tools in the Floating Island Continent have not progressed at all. Outsiders may not know that the Floating Island Continent is developing the magic tools, but I know very well that even the magic organs are just empty titles without any real power. People, just cover up the public's eyes and make others think that the curse is still developing."

Nigolan put both hands on the coffee table, leaned over the table, and approached Yong Ye who was fiddling with his rifle indifferently.

"Look at me, it's not a bad thing to admit this kind of thing, and it can ease the relationship between you and those children, from a terrible big devil to an idol hero, isn't that bad?"

"Well... if you're wearing a low-cut dress, you might be in an attractive pose at the moment, and if you're in a good mood, I might take a look, but it's a pity that the collar of the clothes you're wearing now reaches your neck, it's just normal. Men wouldn't be interested either."

As far as he is concerned, the method of changing the subject in this way has been very skilled in Yongye recently, so he just looked down at the rifle as usual, thinking about the places where the spell above can be improved, and did not look at Nigolan at all. idea.

Nigolan subconsciously covered her chest, but found that Yong Ye didn't look at her at all, and was depressed for a while, but she tried to adjust her emotions, quickly sorted out her thoughts, sat back again and pushed the brewed milk tea over, He sighed and said no more words, causing the whole room to fall into silence.

The silence didn't last long, as if she couldn't suppress her inner impulse, Nigolan drank half of the milk tea and looked at Yong Ye again.

"Actually, I also thought about doing the same thing as you, after all... even if those children are adults in the concept of goblins, they are only children after they develop from larvae to adults. They obviously don't even understand love, and even what happiness is. You don't know anything, why do you have to die at such a time?"

Nigolan held the hand of the teacup, and he was shaking slightly when he exerted force on it. In the teacup, on the surface of the gray milk tea, there were clearly visible ripples.

"Why can't we adults replace those girls? Why do we adults need children to sacrifice their lives to protect them."

"...Because of the difference in strength, you can't replace those fairies."

"I know this! But they are the soldiers who protect the people, but they always sacrifice our children. Why don't the soldiers fight at the forefront, but instead let the children who should be protected die? Why can't they work harder to find a way to use Fighting in other ways! Why save the children here! Since so many floating islands can be floated in the air, but there is no way to deal with a few stray beasts?! That's why... I don't recognize those wing guards You worked hard!"

"According to the order of priority, those who make the island float should have more important things to do, or... the fairies are just as many creatures as they want, and only the number of holy swords that can be found is rare to maintain this number. There is no need to waste time for fairies, which is a very sensible judgment from the point of view of those in power."

You don't need to think about it seriously, Yong Ye can guess it roughly.

It is certain to say that it takes a lot of strength to lift the floating island continent, but even if it was the ultimate strength at the beginning, the number of floating islands in these years was relatively the initial number. Later, because the sixth beast ran to live there, in order to avoid them After multiplying offspring on it, it spread to other floating islands and sank a lot. It stands to reason that after those burdens are reduced, there is more than enough power to spare, right?

It's definitely not difficult to use that extra power to defeat the beasts that came up, but they didn't do that because... In their eyes, fairies are just life, and they just need as many consumables as they are now defined as weapons.

"But I can't accept it!!"

Yong Ye's rational analysis made Nigolan pat the milk tea back on the table, the tea flew high, and the whole person also stood up and glared at Yong Ye condescendingly.
