I don't want to be an elf!

[Random Mission: Participate in the defense of the fifteenth floating island and ensure the completion of Chtholly's personality]

"What's going on? Why are random quests being issued all of a sudden?"

It took Tohka Yatogami, who was still half asleep, a long time to figure out what had happened.

Calculating the timeline and speculating on the timeline, it's about time for the key battle in the original work: the Battle to Protect the Fifteenth Floating Island.

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

If it weren't for William's appearance, which taught Chtholly and the others how to use the holy sword from ancient human heroes, they were originally prepared to obey the military's orders, burn their lives to open the Fairy Corridor, and unleash all their power in this battle to slay 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, even with the new combat methods in the original work, which gave them options other than burning their lives, the intensity of the battlefield still far exceeded everyone's expectations.

In order to meet William again, Chtholly opened the Fairy Corridor.

Although he did not die from burning his life force, he exerted himself too much in this battle, which caused his past life erosion to rapidly worsen and his personality to collapse.

Personality breakdown is irreversible.

Once the symptoms appear, even if the Golden Fairy stops using magic, she will gradually forget everything from the past over time.

This battle also sealed the fate of Ctholly and William, making a future impossible.

Tohka Yatogami is the only one who can turn the tragedy around.

Upon seeing the system issue this random task, Tohka Yatogami's lips curled up slightly.

Even if the system hadn't issued this mission, she was already planning to join in the fun when the battle to defend the fifteenth floating island began.

Now that the system has issued this task, it's practically a free reward for her to complete a random task.

It was quite a rare occasion for him to be so generous.

The random quest issued in the previous world was even more difficult than a side quest.

However, the fact that such a simple random task could be triggered in this world is certainly something to be happy about.

Moreover, the system didn't require her to successfully defend the fifteenth floating island; it only required her to ensure Chtholly's personality remained intact, which made things even simpler.

All she had to do was rampage and kill on the battlefield.

For a pentagonal battle-type spirit like Tohka, what could be simpler than going to the battlefield to kill enemies?

She has put in a lot of effort these past few days to incite William and the other golden fairies to rise up and rebel against the floating continent islands.

But ultimately, this kind of thing shouldn't be done by Yatogami Tohka at all. If she does it too much and others notice something's wrong, her performance won't be very convincing when the mission is completed.

Starting a revolution is not something Yatogami Tohka should be doing.

On the battlefield, recklessness is what Yatogami Tohka should do.

Therefore, for her, participating in the defense of the fifteenth floating island was definitely a win-win situation.

Not only can it better portray the character of Yatogami Tohka, but it can also help Chtholly and William gain a future, make some progress in the side quest of slaying the Seventeen Beasts, and even get an extra reward for completing random quests.

How could we not go?

After receiving the mission, her last bit of sleepiness vanished instantly, and she ran outside to find Chtholly with great enthusiasm.

However, after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find Chtholly anywhere.

She wasn't in her dorm room, she wasn't in William's dorm room, she wasn't in Nigolan's dorm room, she wasn't in the kitchen...

Even stranger, not only did Chtholly disappear, but all the adults in the entire Fourth Fairy Warehouse also vanished.

It wasn't until she asked the underage Golden Fairies playing on the lawn that Yatogami Tohka learned that Chtholly and her group of five had recently left the mansion and headed to the docks.

This made Tohka Yatogami feel extremely frustrated.

They always called each other "partner, partner," and I thought we could really go through thick and thin together.

When the battle came, they just packed up and left, leaving me all alone here.

She once again felt the same sense of alienation she had when she was in college, wanting to fit into a group but not being invited to join the group after others created it.

Although she knew that the people here didn't have any bad intentions, the reason they didn't take her was because they were afraid she wouldn't be able to adapt to the intense battles and that something might happen to her on the battlefield. That's why she left secretly.

However, this could not deter her determination.

Upon learning that Chtholly and her group had gone to the dock, Yatogami Tohka immediately summoned her Kamui Spirit Armor and flew to the dock with all her might.

She then discovered that Chtholly and her group, who were walking, did not seem to have arrived yet.

Arriving at the warship's dock first, the orc soldiers, who were ordered to wait there for the Golden Fairy to board, naturally mistook her for the Golden Fairy and brought her aboard the warship.

Then she got hungry.

You can't blame her. She didn't eat breakfast this morning, and when she heard that Chtholly and the others weren't going to take her along, she immediately rushed to the dock, afraid that she would miss the warship if she was even a little late.

This isn't a bus stop. If you miss one, just wait a bit and another one will come.

If the warship picks up the people and leaves, she will have no way of finding the location of the fifteenth floating island in this vast sky by herself.

So she didn't even eat the breakfast Nigolan left behind, and flew straight to the dock.

Fortunately, the warship had a mess hall that provided three meals a day.

Not wanting to wait for Chtholly and her group on an empty stomach, Yatogami Tohka followed the scent and found the mess hall on the battleship.

Originally, due to the racial segregation laws of the floating continent islands, the Golden Fairy was not allowed to eat in the canteen with the other orc warriors.

But Tohka Yatogami doesn't care about all that.

While they were eating, Chtholly, Esther, and Nephren finally boarded the ship and met in the dining hall.

"In short, that's roughly how it is."

On the warship, under the scrutinizing gazes of the three golden fairies, Yatogami Tohka obediently recounted how she came to be there.

Of course, this refers to the modified version after the system was deleted.

"I just can't do anything with you." Nephren sighed, a rare occurrence for her.

"Well, we're already here, we can't just send Tohka away, can we?" Asya said nonchalantly.

“Now William and Nigolan are going to be worried again,” Chtholly said with a wry smile.

Today's Tohka

Chapter Twenty-One: Squeeze In

The warships have only just set sail.

If we send Yatogami Tohka back now, it's definitely not too late.

But even if we send her back, can we guarantee that she will stay obediently in the mansion and not sneak out again?

Based on everyone's understanding of Tohka Yatogami, even if they sent her back, she would definitely run away again.

Moreover, this time, in order to avoid being caught, Yatogami Tohka will definitely hide in a place where no one can find her until the warship reaches its destination.

If this happens, things will only get more complicated afterwards.

So the three golden fairies discussed it and decided to take her with them and keep a close watch on her, so that they could at least feel a little more at ease.

"Tohka, don't blame us for not taking you with us to the battle. I initially suggested that others take you."

Asya put her arm around Yatogami Tohka's shoulder, looking like a good partner on the same side: "But the others don't want to take you with them. William and Nigolan also think that leaving you on the island is the best option. My opinion alone can't go against the majority."

"What a joke! You didn't say a word when we made that decision in the meeting," Nephren said, exposing her lie with a blank expression.

"But that's really what I thought, but there was no point in saying it, so I didn't say it."

"Since Tohka is already here, there's really no point in talking about this anymore."

Chtholly clapped her hands, drawing the attention of the others: "Since we've decided to bring Tohka along, we should make sure she's fully prepared before the battle."

"Ah."

Nephren nodded in agreement, then asked, "Tohka, how much do you know about the Sixth Beast?"

"Um......"

Yatogami Tohka pondered for a few seconds, then answered confidently, "I know nothing except for the name!"

The three golden fairies fell silent.

After a long silence, even the most carefree Asya spoke with a troubled expression, "Why don't we just send her back?"

"agree."

"That's settled then."

Upon hearing that she was to be sent back, Yatogami Tohka exclaimed in a panic, "How could this be! You already promised to take me with you!"

"We're not going on a picnic, Tohka," Chtholly said with a headache. "We're going to fight, to a very dangerous place and to fight very dangerous enemies. What if something happens if you don't know anything about the enemy?"

“I can learn,” Tohka Yatogami said sincerely. “It will take at least a few days to get to the fifteenth floating island, right? I will study hard during my time on the ship.”

"you sure?"

"Uh-huh!"

“Alright, since that’s the case, then we’ll teach you how to fight the Sixth Beast,” Chtholly said helplessly.

"Great!"

“I will check your daily study materials, and if you can’t answer them, you won’t get dinner,” Nephren said calmly.

"That's bad!"

If she were starving, she didn't know what she might do.

After all, this body has a very strong appetite. It's not just that it can't eat a meal, it's that it gets upset even if it eats a little less.

Although Nephren may seem cold, she is actually a very nice person.

Even if there really is no dinner, just open your big, watery eyes and beg her, and she will definitely soften her heart.

Afterwards, the Golden Fairies left the cafeteria with Yatogami Tohka.

They first put away their luggage and relics weapons, and then took Yatogami Tohka to the warship's management office.
