I don't want to be an elf!

"Yes, thank you, Lord Gray Rock Skin." Chtholly nodded, a hint of anticipation appearing in her eyes.

"You're welcome, it's what I should do." Gray Rock Skin said casually. "Although according to military regulations, Golden Fairies need to return to the Fairy Warehouse immediately after the mission, I can make an exception and give you a one-day free movement permit because of your hard work."

"Wow! That's awesome!" Asya excitedly raised her arms. "A day of free time! Lord Grayrock is the best!"

"As for you," Gray Rock Skin looked at Yatogami Tohka at the back, "you should go to the hospital for a check-up first."

"Huh? I don't want to!"

Upon hearing that everyone else could go out and have fun while she had to go to the hospital, Tohka Yatogami immediately threw a tantrum: "I'm not sick! I want to go out and have fun too!"

Yesterday, during the evacuation, the way Nephren helped Yatogami Tohka retreat left a deep impression on Haiiwa.

However, she was not actually seriously injured.

The chest wound from the fourteenth hit is almost healed; now only a faint mark remains. If left unattended, it will recover in a day at most.

At that time, she looked like she couldn't even walk. It was only because the final sword of the Fiend had absorbed too much spiritual power, and several hours of intense fighting had left her extremely hungry, which is why she needed Nephren's support.

After having a big meal on the warship, everything was fine.

However, neither the gray rock skin nor the golden fairies believed that Yatogami Tohka could recover in just one day.

Now that they've arrived at the floating island, they naturally want Yatogami Tohka to go to the hospital for a full checkup.

However, Tohka Yatogami's own opinion is not important.

In other people's eyes, idiots don't care about their own bodies, so it's up to them to care.

They forcibly took her to the hospital, stripped her naked for a check-up, and then left the hospital.

In the hospital, Yatogami Tohka, with a dead fish-like expression, was being touched by the female doctor and answered questions perfunctorily such as "Does it hurt here?" and "Does it hurt there?"

"Well, let's look on the bright side."

After the doctor's efforts, Tohka Yatogami, lying in her hospital bed receiving an IV drip, thought to herself, "Although I couldn't go out and play, at least I've made progress on random missions and side quests."

The random missions issued by the system were successfully completed after the Fifteenth Floating Island Battle.

Not only was the battle won, but Chtholly was also not corrupted by her past life. As they left the fifteenth floating island, a system mission pop-up appeared in front of her, indicating that the mission was completed.

As for the first side quest, although it is still a long way from being completely completed, some progress has been made.

The first side quest requires you to kill seventeen beasts, and the more types of beasts you kill, the higher your final rating will be.

In this battle, she defeated two of the Seventeen Beasts: the sixth beast of the Deep and the fourteenth beast of the Light.

As for the remaining fifteen different types of beasts, they will only have a chance to be defeated after Yatogami Tohka receives a mission to fight on the ground.

While sneaking off to the ground unnoticed and wreaking havoc on the ground is an option, she might not be able to find her way back to the floating island.

After all, floating islands are too small compared to the vast sky, and it's easy to lose your bearings if you're not careful on the ground.

"Miss Yatogami, a guest wishes to see you."

Shortly after, while Yatogami Tohka was still receiving an IV drip, an orc nurse walked in.

Following behind her was Nephren.

"Why are you here?" Yatogami Tohka asked in surprise. "I thought you went to town with the others."

“We were just about to go to the communications room to let everyone at the Fourth Fairy Warehouse know we were safe, but we ran into William, who was here on a business trip,” Nephren replied. “After that, William was asked to do something troublesome by Gray Rock Skin, and I felt that if I stayed with them any longer, I would definitely get involved, so I came to find you.”

"I don't have anything else to do here, I'm still on an IV drip."

"The nurse told me the infusion would be finished soon, and we could go for a walk around the city together later."

"May I?"

"Of course you can. After all, you have a permit from Lord Gray Rock Skin, so you can move around freely all day today."

"Yay!" Tohka Yatogami's eyes lit up. "Is there anything fun to do in the city?"

“I don’t know either.” Nephren shook her head. “Because I rarely come to the Eleventh Floating Island, and this is the first time I’ve been able to move around freely.”

Upon hearing this, Tohka Yatogami not only didn't feel disappointed, but instead laughed.

“That’s fantastic! If this is Ren’s first time too, we can explore all the interesting places here together!” Yatogami Tohka said. “Didn’t Ren say he wanted to travel all over the world? Although I haven’t set the Gold Fairy free yet, let’s make this our first stop!”

"Yeah, that's true."

Nephren seemed somewhat tempted, and her tone softened slightly.

"Then let's start here."

Chapter Thirty-Five: A Day Trip to Corinnatilchi

After being checked and found to be unharmed, Tohka Yatogami was released from the hospital.

Upon entering the residential area of ​​the eleventh floating island, she used the disguise ability of her Divine Armor to transform her clothes into everyday casual wear, blending into the surrounding crowd.

She stared wide-eyed at everything around her with curiosity, occasionally letting out a sigh of wonder.

This is not simply acting.

In fact, this was the first time she had ever encountered a medieval European-style world, one where there were no humans but only orcs.

Although she came to this world as a transmigrator to play a role and complete a mission, it's still a good choice to stop and take a look at the culture and characteristics of each world, especially a world with a unique background like this, in her spare time.

Corinnatilchi, that's the name of the city.

As one of the large inhabited islands in the floating continent archipelago, this city ranks among the most open of all floating island cities, and is known for its inclusiveness and freedom.

It is precisely because of this that the culture here accommodates a great many orcs and non-orc races. Even golden fairies and elves, who are of no race, can walk on the streets like normal people without causing any disturbance.

"Wow."

As she walked, Tohka Yatogami's nose twitched as she caught a pleasant scent.

It had already been a while since breakfast, and after two hours of commotion at the hospital, she was already feeling quite hungry.

This aroma, which she had never smelled before, effortlessly whetted her appetite.

"What smells so good?"

Yatogami Tohka swallowed the saliva that was rapidly secreting from her mouth and hurriedly searched through the surrounding shops, unconsciously quickening her pace.

"Don't walk so fast, it would be troublesome if you got lost."

Nephren quickly followed and took her hand.

Although Yatogami Tohka looks significantly more mature, both in appearance and figure, to outsiders, it is undoubtedly Nephren who is playing the role of guardian.

Of course, Nephren herself thinks so too.

If no one were there to watch over her, no one knows what might happen.

Anyway, after hearing that the first thing Yatogami Tohka did after opening her eyes due to amnesia was that she almost got into a fight with the Second Division, Nephren dared not let her out of her sight easily.

The two held hands, and Yatogami Tohka, like a shark that had smelled blood, darted through the bustling streets.

Passing by several shops, the two arrived at a bakery.

“That’s right, it came from here,” Tohka Yatogami said confidently.

“Yes, I can smell the aroma as I get closer,” Nephren said. “Back when we were in the fairy warehouse, the bread the merchant guild delivered every month was always cold and hard. I never imagined that freshly baked bread could smell so good.”

"Nephren, I want to eat it." Yatogami Tohka put her index finger to her lips, looking at her with her watery eyes.

“I just can’t do anything with you.” Nephren took out a small bag of coins from her pocket. “This is what William gave me before he left. He said you’d definitely be asking to go out for food after you’re discharged from the hospital.”

Although the Golden Elves, as warriors of the Winged Army, worked even harder than ordinary orc warriors and should have received the same treatment as them, in reality neither the military nor the merchant guild provided them with the same salary.

They don't even receive a salary.

After each life-risking battle against the Sixth Beast, they receive no promotion in the army, nor any extra rewards. Instead, they are sent directly back to the fairy warehouse to await the next call to arms.

The golden fairies had no complaints about this.

Presumably because the chamber of commerce usually provides enough daily supplies for them, they take these things as payment.

They finally got a chance to go out and have some fun. If William hadn't been so thoughtful and prepared some funds for Nephren to take with her, they would have been stuck outside the bakery all day.

"welcome."

Upon entering the store, the orc shop assistant greeted the two customers with a polite smile.

Looking at the dazzling array of breads, Tohka Yatogami excitedly asked, "Can I have them all?"

Nephren weighed her wallet in her hand and glanced at the price of the bread before immediately rejecting the suggestion.

"Take a maximum of three of each item, just to taste them."

"Um...okay."

Tohka Yatogami looked slightly disappointed that her wish could not be fulfilled, but she quickly forgot about it.

After quickly scanning the variety of breads, Tohka Yatogami stood behind the glass display case and said to the clerk, "This row, this section, and this and that."

After counting out ten loaves of bread, Yatogami Tohka clenched her right hand and solemnly declared, as if a general were inspecting his troops, "I want them all."

Although surprised by the suggestion to "take three of each type of bread to try," the staff member couldn't let the business slip away and readily took the selected breads from the glass display case.

After calculating the price and packaging it, Naphlene paid for it, and the wallet William gave her shrank by half.

"Thank you for your patronage."

Stepping out of the store, Tohka Yatogami couldn't wait to open the paper package.

She took a deep breath of the steaming aroma of the bread, took a big bite, and soon finished the bread in a blissful state.

"The cream bread is so delicious."

Yatogami Tohka squinted her eyes, enjoying the unique texture of the silky cream and bread that she hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Soybean flour bread is delicious too."

After finishing the cream bread in a few bites, ignoring the cream on her lips, she took out another bread covered in soybean powder and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Naphlene, who was initially a little reluctant to spend the money, felt a little better seeing how much she enjoyed the food.

"Hmm... As expected, the bread purchased by the Chamber of Commerce can't compare to freshly baked bread."

"Mmm! Freshly baked bread smells so good and tastes so delicious!"

"Perhaps I can learn to bake bread myself."
