Chapter 419

Earth Fairy provide design ideas, wind Fairy transmit information at each stage, mirror Fairy use a certain degree of prophecy to see if their part will succeed in this or that way, Winged Fairy handle all sorts of odd jobs, and their small size and gentle nature mean they never complain, while Fang Fairy are the main force behind large items and are also the best Warrior to deal with Mors disasters in various places.

Of course, this is only how it appears on the surface. If it weren't for the strict control exerted by Ash, Kurich, and Muryan, a conflict could erupt at any moment.

After all, not long ago, the Fang Fairy were eating Fairy or humans everywhere to satisfy their Desire, and the Winged Fairy were killing each other to protect themselves. Therefore, the harmony that is being built in Londinium at this moment is only on the surface. If you are not careful, everything will be rewritten.

Ultimately, all Six Great Fairies share the original sin of poisoning Deity. The Rain Fairy will face extermination due to their repentance, and the Mirror Fairy will experience a similar fate. In this world, those who are not warlike will meet their demise; it's a case of good people not living long while evil ones live for a thousand years.

"Speaking of Londinium, you were the one who gave me the name, Teacher. Does this name have any special meaning?"

The blonde Fairy placed her glasses on a wooden table. The table, painstakingly crafted by hundreds of earth Fairy, was polished to a mirror-like shine, a sight that Ash found somewhat unusual.

"Didn't we go to the Dark Swamp before? You and Muryan should have seen the Dragon Corpse there, right?"

"Has its soul been cleansed by you, Teacher?"

I guess so.

Novia tapped her fingers on the wooden table, making a series of sharp sounds. "In the world I've lived in, her remains lie beneath Londinium in Britain —yes, a place also called Britain."

"Wow, Teacher, you really know how to cherish old memories."

"Perhaps it's because I really have a special connection with Britain."

Novia's statement is true.

While in Rome, he received Albion's assistance; while with the Huns, he had the opportunity to obtain the Holy Sword; and in Central and South America, he met Paracelsus and Baobhan Sith, and incidentally left behind a shipyard to build new ships for Edmond.

These things happened on an island called Britain, not to mention now.

Fairy Britain is still Britain, even though the Fairy all deserved to die.

"How wonderful. It's Britain, not a Fairy- dominated society, but a human-dominated one. That's quite intriguing."

Ash said this purely out of curiosity.

It wasn't because I liked other Britain, but simply because I wanted to see something similar yet completely different.

"... Then let's find out for yourself when you have the chance later."

Novia originally wanted to tell Ash more about it now, but after thinking about it, she realized that some things should be known by others before they can be defined. What she heard from others would always carry a certain 'opinion'. Novia could only say that England at a certain time was just as bad as everyone else.

"Hmph~"

The Fairy of Paradise's pale blue eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had suddenly gained some confidence after hearing this.

Why are you suddenly laughing like that?

"I remember the story you told me about Britain, Teacher, about the King of Knights's experiences, although I'm not entirely clear on what the Wild Hunt is..."

Ash suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and gently shook her golden hair. "But in my opinion, even so, an ideal king did exist. Can I do better than her here? I'm worried."

Then, the blonde Fairy's smile blossomed like a flower, and she proudly raised her chest.

"But after listening to what you just said, Teacher, I feel very confident that I can do even better than her. Teacher you are better than that Magus of Flowers, and I am definitely not inferior to that King of Knights. Yes, absolutely! The kingdom that will not let Britain end, but will give Britain a brand new beginning, will be built with your support, Teacher."

Looking at the ash tree, Novia couldn't help but start her usual spiel:

"Ash, Fairy are not human. The Fairy's stance and your goals can never be reconciled."

Fairy are like eternally innocent children, pure and simple, yet the most hurtful. They don't know or can't agree with the basic principle of "apologizing after hurting others" that maintains the smooth operation of society. It's not that they don't know what happiness is, but they can give up reaching a consensus that would bring long-term benefits for the sake of a lollipop in the moment, and give up exploring the deeper essence of things for the sake of momentary feelings. This kind of selfishness that lacks thought and is done at will will always cause endless disputes.

"Teacher, please stop. It's because you always indulge me like this that I still have these thoughts. Besides, many Fairy are quite satisfied with the current environment; I've seen it with my own eyes."

She continued speaking.

"And as you said, if you want to achieve what you desire, you must fight, even if what you desire may not align with the desires of others. But even if they don't align, you cannot give up the fight to achieve it, even if it means becoming evil in the eyes of others."

As if to reinforce this idea, a new idea also came to mind for the Fairy of Paradise.

"So as long as you, Teacher, are still here, I can keep moving forward with this thought in mind. That's right, I'd bet my whole life on it without any regrets. What do I have to be afraid of?"

Novia looked at the ash tree in front of her, thought for a moment, and changed the subject:

"... Ash, when you're alone with me, the ahoge (cowlick) on your head seems to go down a bit."

Although it was only a tiny change, the Fairy of Paradise's ahoge (cowlick) would bend down slightly as if she was very happy. Novia could naturally notice this small change, but Huginn wouldn't, since Muninn only did this when she was alone with him.

"Is that so?"

The blonde Fairy looked up and gazed into Novia's beautiful, sea-like eyes, which reflected the sunlight streaming in from the window—a soft and gentle glow.

"I haven't thought about it very seriously, but being able to control my ahoge (cowlick) and stuff... that should be pretty simple, right?"

Deep within her eyes lingered a complex mix of emotions.

Her eyes, as Serenity and rippling as the surface of a deep Lake, held a depth that held profound emotions and thoughts. This was not something that was difficult for Novia to discern.

"Perhaps."

Novia coughed softly and then put the glasses that Ash had placed on the wooden table on her. "Shouldn't fantastical stories only remain in books?"

"Of course, after all, the reason why Fairy in stories bother humans is actually because they're happy, they want to make them laugh, they want to make them annoyed, they want them to see them, they want to meet them..."

The previously confident Chen lowered his head in embarrassment for some reason. "Ahem, of course, this is just a story. Reality is not entirely the same. Remember that, Teacher."

I feel like I've been seen through.

No, they definitely saw through it.

The Teacher probably already saw through my little scheme... Thinking about it, she's right. If I say too much, she'll find out eventually. How am I supposed to face Muryan? But I started it, so what if I ruin the atmosphere? Will something strange happen...?

Seeing Ash's expression, Novia smiled.

"The cheerful noise coming from outside must be some kind of festival. Cloak ready, hat ready, Walking Stick ready, outfit all set, time to go, Ash."

"Eh, um, um."

Quickly regaining his composure, Ash also dropped his previous demeanor and picked up his hat with a spirited air. "That's right, Ash, it's time to go!"

However, after taking a few steps, she turned around with a sorrowful expression and looked at Novia, who had not yet gotten up.

"Teacher, you lied to me again. I have a meeting today and can't go out... But I'll get it sorted out as soon as possible; maybe there'll still be time."

Although, in theory, with the full support of Muryan and Kurich, and the three clan leaders moving very quickly, the so-called meeting was at most a formality, nothing more than listening to where small calamities had recently occurred and where materials were lacking. Although Muryan could basically handle these things, Ash still wanted to deal with them personally.

"Um?"

Originally, Qin thought her Teacher would tease her as usual, but to her surprise, he was sitting on the wooden chair with his head down, not responding to her words at all, as if he had suddenly fallen asleep.

To be honest, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe that anything could have happened to tire her Teacher out these past few days. But given the situation before her, she had no choice but to believe it. Moreover, seeing Novia in this state was a rare sight for her. So, while excited, she hesitated and approached Novia, squatting down beside her.

He rubbed Novia's face with his hand, and then, perhaps seeing that Novia still didn't react, the bolder disciple took off his glasses and placed them on Novia's face. Then, he extended his little finger, took Novia's hand with his other hand, and gently raised his little finger.

So, the human and the Fairy intertwined their little fingers and made a pinky promise.

"That's fine then, it's settled, Teacher."

Above the still unfinished Londinium, the sky was a clear azure. In the eyes of the Fairy of Paradise walking along the corridors, all around were endless green grasslands, and everything, including Fairy and humans, undulated like waves in the gentle breeze.

The sky in the distance is a clear and bright azure, and the endless green grassland stretches out in front of you, undulating like waves in the gentle breeze.

Suddenly, the Fairy, who had endless dreams for the Future, had some thoughts:

Laughter is allowed, joy is allowed, connections are allowed, and development is allowed.

May this country endure Future and become an ideal Avalon.

What will this kingdom, which I, my Teacher, and everyone else have built together, be like? Will it be a beautiful kingdom? Will it be a dreamlike kingdom? If people from other worlds see or learn of it and think so, I will feel immense joy.

May this scenery and the Future I pray for remain forever in my imagined memories.

The Fairy in the paradise murmured to herself, and it seemed as if she was also murmuring it aloud.

Earlier, after Novia mentioned the 'festival' to Ash, he had actually wanted to get up.

Although he knew there was a meeting, the silver-haired youth still had the intention of forcibly dragging Ash out, so he wasn't deceiving her. But why didn't he get up? The Answer is simple: he was 'asleep', just as Ash had suspected.

Of course, Novia in this dream was fully aware that she was dreaming.

In a world devoid of color, Novia can see endless vortexes. In a space where time and space melt away ambiguously like mottled musical notes, some indescribable record unfolds rapidly, revealing countless blurry black worlds and the Sun with unknown Melody flowing through them.

Everything seemed to be gradually dissolving into this blurry nothingness.

The feeling was warm, peaceful, and even comforting, like a child melting in its mother's arms.

At that very moment.

Who is it?

Ignoring these feelings, Novia asked this question as she gazed at the vortex surrounding the bizarre record.

That being said, he did have some guesses about the origins of the visitors.

He had heard this beautiful yet twisted Melody before when he was in the Prison Tower, so it must be... another Evil God.

"This is a suitable medium."

A sound rang out.

"I'm not saying that leaving there and choosing to come here was a mistake."

The pitch-black Melody spread through the colorless world, Melody after the aftershocks of that colorless realm.

The black Melody reflected in the vortex looks like both a grand concert and a colossal Throne.

Therefore, Novia instantly understood that, to some extent, this behavior was an expression of compassion, not a curse.

"I'm not saying Yahweh was wrong."

The source of the sound is like the sky, like the air, like the earth, like flowing water, like everything.

In that instant, a powerful impact struck Novia, and what was reflected in the silver-haired youth's eyes, what was etched into his memory at that moment, was—

A girl with enormous goat horns, standing six or seven meters tall, whose eyes have turned Crimson and gold, and who has a crimson hole on her forehead resembling a third eye, and whose human feet have turned into hooves— the Orange-Haired Girl, Ritsuka Fujimaru, the last Master of Chaldea.

"Is that all there is to it?"

The enormous 'Evil God' murmured this, cupping his cheeks with Demon Claws.

In an instant, an indescribable, vibrant Crimson color permeated the entire world.

At the same time, in Chaldea, in Ritsuka Fujimaru's room.

"..."

The Orange-Haired Girl, who had been jolted awake from a nightmare, blinked her eyes as if she had seen something new and interesting, her mouth agape in a daze.

Following her gaze, I saw the words "Ritsuka Fujimaru" written above the desk next to me, as well as small notes on the wall that read "Work hard and don't hold others back."

"My name... is Ritsuka Fujimaru? Yes, that's my name. How strange..."

Ritsuka scratched her face with her fingertips, touched her arm that was sticking out from her half-sleeved pajamas, and then rolled up the sleeves of the slightly oversized pajamas a little.

There were also scars on my upper arms. Because the skin that is not usually exposed to the sun has not been exposed to sunlight, the scars are even more noticeable.

Although she is Master and is often protected by Novia, being on the front lines and being human after all, it's only natural that she would get injured.

After that, as if trying to fool herself, the girl laughed foolishly in the room, completely unsuspecting.

"How could I have such a dream that I almost forgot who I am..."

Chapter 444 I've Found You, My Love?

"Wow, this Pink-Haired Fairy is even fiercer than Miss Ash when she fights? Fighting Type?"

"Perhaps... it might be due to some kind of Blessing or his own personality..."

"Where's Kurich? Kurich? Where did she go? Quick, get her to come support Miss Ash! Let her be a meat shield for the mage to deal damage!"

"There are just too many Northern Fairy... and Huginn, don't you think this aura of Blessing is somewhat similar to that thing the master caught before...?"

"It seems so. Could this thing have thought it knew the master and deliberately gone to another battlefield... Wait a minute? So this pink-haired girl can immediately generate a new body? No wonder she didn't defend against Miss Ash's attacks at all, and specifically targeted her weak points. What about Muryan? Her Insect Space can barely hold them off for a while..."

"With Muryan's power, Huginn, are you trying to send Muryan to her death? Don't be so inconsiderate of your colleagues, we're all the Master's subordinates..."

Having just left that colorless world where everything seemed to have vanished into nothingness, Novia, located in the still unfinished Londinium in Fairy Britain, opened her eyes and saw two Raven nearby, wearing glasses and arguing about some Od created scene.

Before he could say anything more, the two Raven that sensed Novia waking up in the chair flapped back and landed on his shoulders.

"Master, oh my god, you're finally awake!"

"Yes, yes, sir, your sudden fainting almost scared us to death..."
