I don't want to be an elf!

Sitting on the chair in the cafeteria, she looked at the half-croissant that Nephren had given her on her plate, and her face immediately turned ugly.

I didn't sleep well again, and I didn't have anything to eat.

She's about to throw a tantrum.

Chapter Twenty-Five: I'm Sorry for Eating a Person Raw

"Goo..."

A muffled sound came from inside Tohka Yatogami's stomach.

Soon, as the sound rang out, a visible black aura seemed to emanate from her body.

Those orcs who were close to her felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had thorns in their backs.

The three golden fairies exchanged a glance.

Clearly, they all knew why Yatogami Tohka's mood had suddenly soured.

I studied battlefield knowledge all day yesterday, and then didn't sleep well last night because of the turbulence of the airship. I finally mustered up the energy to go to the canteen for breakfast, only to find disgusting insect eggs left behind...

No wonder I'm in a bad mood now.

"Actually, I'm not very hungry yet. You can have this sausage." Chtholly gave the only food on her plate to Yatogami Tohka.

"I can still hold out, but you should eat more. You need to fill your stomach so you'll have the energy to study." Aisya also shared some fruit with others.

Looking at the half-bread, a sausage, and a few pieces of fruit in front of her, Tohka Yatogami's resentment did not dissipate.

Although these things are enough for a girl with a small appetite.

However, the phrase "small appetite" has absolutely nothing to do with Tohka Yatogami.

Forget about filling her stomach, she probably wouldn't even have time to taste this tiny bit of food before she finished it.

So she didn't accept the breakfast from the three golden fairies and returned the items.

Her gaze swept around, like a hunter searching for its prey.

Perhaps because her aura was too oppressive, none of the twenty-odd beastmen in the canteen dared to look her in the eye.

They all kept their heads down, quietly eating their breakfast, afraid of being picked on by the other.

At that moment, the pig-man chef in the kitchen seemed to have noticed the quiet atmosphere outside and poked his head out to see what was going on.

Seeing the empty plate in front of Tohka Yatogami, and then looking at the dwindling breakfast at the food station, he immediately understood what had happened.

Sure enough, the golden fairy came today too.

According to military regulations, in order to avoid unforeseen circumstances, the food reserves on each airship must be doubled based on the number of crew members and days.

In other words, a ship with a capacity of forty people would have enough food reserves for eighty people.

In this way, if they encounter weather such as thunderstorms, spaceship malfunctions, or attacks from terrorist groups, forcing the ships to make an emergency landing on a deserted floating island, they can hold out for a period of time.

But what the pig chef didn't expect was that this emergency they encountered was a glutton.

At this moment, Nephren also saw the appearance of the pig chef.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to strike up a conversation with him.

This was undoubtedly a violation of apartheid laws, but after talking with Tohka Yatogami last night, her resolve to abide by the law weakened considerably.

Moreover, now is not the time to talk about obeying or disobeying the law.

Having cooked for Tohka Yatogami frequently, she naturally knew better than anyone how terrifyingly large her appetite was.

If her appetite isn't satisfied...

Looking at Yatogami Tohka, whose gaze was sweeping over the orcs, Nephren had no doubt that she might eat a person alive.

"Hello."

"Oh... hello?"

When Nephren greeted him, the pig chef was taken aback for a moment, but quickly responded.

He never expected that the usually aloof Golden Fairy would take the initiative to greet him.

After all, due to apartheid, the golden fairies would never appear before them.

Even if they happen to encounter them, they will simply ignore the presence of the orcs without even glancing at them.

Therefore, many orcs in the army had the impression that the Golden Fairy was aloof and unapproachable, just like a real fairy—powerful and cold.

Furthermore, the existence of the Golden Fairy was a secret, and all orc warriors were given a gag order, forbidding them from discussing anything related to the Golden Fairy. This further deepened the estrangement between the Golden Fairy and other races.

Today, for the first time in his life, the pig chef was struck up a conversation with a mysterious golden fairy, leaving him feeling flattered and overwhelmed.

“Excuse me, could you please make a little more for each meal?” Nephren said. “My partner has a big appetite, and if she’s not full, she might do something irrational when she’s in a bad mood.”

"Actually, we've already done our best," the pig chef said with difficulty. "There are only two other chefs and me in the kitchen, and this is the limit we can make."

"So, the problem is just a lack of manpower?"

"Yes, the food reserves are sufficient... probably."

“I can help you cook,” Nephren said. “I’ve learned a little before, but I’m just a beginner.”

"You're willing to help? That's wonderful!" the pig-man chef exclaimed with delight. "It doesn't matter if you're not a great cook; doing some simple tasks will speed up the cooking process!"

The pig chef was more concerned with whether he could feed his crew than with the consequences of violating apartheid laws.

Soldiers who are not well-fed are prone to becoming restless, and it would be a minor incident if they simply stormed into the kitchen.

It would be a real headache if that gluttonous golden fairy did something irrational because she was too hungry.

Although he wasn't a real soldier, just the ship's cook, as a member of the military, he still knew how powerful the Golden Fairy was.

If the other side gets angry and sinks this floating warship, I'll lose my life here.

After all, he was just a pig-man and didn't have the ability to fly.

"Then without further ado, I'll leave the rest to you as my assistant."

"Ok."

Nephren nodded.

Before entering the kitchen with the pig-man chef, she looked back at her companions.

"Ctholly, Asya, I'm leaving Tohka in your care," she said. "I'm going to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Before the next dish is served, please keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't eat people."

After saying that, Nephren went into the kitchen.

Left behind, a helpless Chtholly and Etheria, along with a group of beastmen sweating profusely, were left in the canteen.

Don't let her eat people?

What do you mean?

Are the Golden Fairies really that ferocious?

Some of the beastmen suddenly remembered the stories their mothers had told them when they were children.

After recalling stories of travelers who got lost in the forest and were eventually tormented to death by forest fairies, and lake fairies who would disguise themselves as beautiful women and drag their bewitched people into the water, they became even more panicked.

So, the Golden Fairy is just as dangerous as other fairies?

No wonder the military doesn't allow them to have contact with this race!

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Disturbance

Sensing the slightly eerie atmosphere in the cafeteria, Chtholly and Esther exchanged a glance.

Both of them felt a little awkward.

While Tohka Yatogami can be quite eccentric at times, and Nephren occasionally says surprising things, the idea of ​​eating people is just too exaggerated.

Perhaps Nephren was just making a casual joke, but the beastmen, who didn't know much about the Golden Fairies, took it seriously.

The two had already seen quite a few people carrying trays, preparing to flee.

There are races in this world that survive by eating other races.

The most typical example is cannibals like Nigolan, for whom humans were part of their diet a hundred years ago, and the taste of humans held a strong attraction for them.

If humans hadn't disappeared five hundred years ago, and the cannibals hadn't been unable to find humans to eat, thus reducing their need for humans after evolving, Nigoran probably wouldn't have been able to resist the urge to eat William.

Therefore, when the golden fairy said that her companions might eat people, the beastmen present did not doubt it at all.

Seeing that their reputations were about to be damaged, the two golden fairies hurriedly began to defend themselves.

"Let me clarify, we golden fairies don't eat people," Chtholly said sincerely.

“That’s right, that’s right. Lian was just joking, but she’s expressionless so she can’t tell,” Athena chimed in.

Seeing that the two men were sincere and not faking it, the agitated orcs gradually calmed down.

While races that feed on other races do exist, orcs are no longer the uncivilized race they were five hundred years ago.

Under the guidance of the Great Sage, the beastmen, who were considered a savage race five hundred years ago, have now embraced human culture, abandoned their former bloodthirsty and primitive ways, and gradually formed a new civilization.

The barbaric act of cannibalism is not allowed in today's society.

Moreover, this is the military area; being caught eating people is a capital offense, punishable by beheading.

“But compared to humans, orcs are closer to beasts, aren’t they?” Yatogami Tohka suddenly said.

"Don't make things worse!" Asya covered Yatogami Tohka's mouth with a look of exasperation.

"I'm so sorry everyone, this child isn't very bright." Chtholly bowed apologetically to the others.

At this moment, a cold snort sounded.

It was as if he deliberately wanted everyone to hear his dissatisfaction, thus attracting everyone's attention.

The one who let out the cold snort was a lion-man.

The lion-man was very strong, with thick, golden mane that fell across his slightly tight-fitting military uniform.

Among all the orc warriors present, he was one of the most conspicuous.

The feline species' vertical pupils narrowed slightly, indicating extreme anger, much like a provoked lion king, exuding an aura that was not to be trifled with.
