From this day forward, her fate was truly intertwined with that of these children.

Have you made a decision?

"Um."

Elco's voice was soft but firm.

Chapter 22, Section 167, showed me an interesting ending.

Yuxian didn't say much about Elco's decision. He respected Elco and wouldn't interfere forcibly.

But he was still somewhat confused.

Yuxian found Scathach, Scathach was not only a master in martial arts but also a very good mentor in life.

He told Scathach the whole story.

After listening to Yuxian's explanation, Scathach did not immediately answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Does Master know about the Shadow Land?"

"Of course!" Yuxian nodded. The Queen of the Shadow Land was right in front of him, how could he not know her?

"Has Master ever been to the Shadow Land?" Scathach continued to ask.

Yuxian shook his head. Although Scathach had said many times that she would take him to the Shadow Land for special training, he had never actually set foot in that place.

The gates of the Shadow Realm are not open to the living. Without Scathach's permission, no living person can step through that gate, nor can any dead person emerge from it. The gates of the Shadow Land are the boundary between life and death.

"The Shadow Land is a land of the dead and the souls of the dead. Nothing there is alive; corruption and despair are the main themes."

Scathach calmly described the Shadow Land, then asked, "Does Master know my wish?"

"Killed." Yuxian knew that Scathach had always wanted to get rid of the curse of immortality that bound her.

"Yes, killed." Scathach nodded. "Immortality has always been a curse that haunts me."

"But what truly makes me despair is the monotonous, repetitive, and predictable boredom of daily life."

"Does Master know how many years I've spent in the Shadow Land?"

Yuxian dared not answer this question, as it involved a very serious matter.

The age of the purple-haired beauty...

Scathach glanced at Yuxian and, seeing his expression of "I know nothing," guessed what Yuxian was thinking.

At another time, she might have let Yuxian go for an hour or two, but now is not the time.

She pretended not to see it and continued, "I have spent countless days in the Shadow Land, but I have not had as much happiness as I have had in the short time I spent in Chaldea."

"Elco feels the same way; the years she spent here are not as memorable as the short time she has spent here."

"Her decision is not hard to understand."

Yuxian fell into deep thought...

He understood what Scathach said. No amount of boring days is as meaningful as a moment of happiness.

This is probably a problem only those with immortality can have.

Yuxian suddenly asked, "Master, do you feel happier these days compared to when you were at Chaldea?"

Scathach looked at Yuxian meaningfully and said softly, "I would be happiest if you could kill me."

Yuxian gave a wry smile, "You know I can't do it."

Killing Scathach is not just a matter of ability; Yuxian also lacks the will to do so.

Lacking Yuxian the ability and the will, Scathach's desire to kill Yu Xian remains an unfulfilled dream.

Scathach chuckled at Yuxian's reply, "Then let me see an interesting ending."

"I will do my best."

What kind of ending is considered interesting? Yuxian didn't know, nor did he have the ability to control the ending; he could only let nature take its course.

Scathach's words made Yuxian understand Elco's thoughts.

The problem that had plagued Yuxian since he first came into this world was thus solved.

Moreover, he didn't contribute much to it, so Yuxian was somewhat disappointed, always feeling that he hadn't done enough.

Yuxian quickly explored the remaining few islands, but still found no trace of anyone else.

Yuxian had already assumed that there were no other Chaldea companions in this world.

The group arrived at their final stop, Island 2.

Black Candle Duke was very excited to see Elco again.

As one of Elco's guardians, he has a very close relationship with Elco, and it's inevitable that he would be emotional when they reunite.

But before he and Elco catch up, the children took him away, still remembering how much fun they had playing with the adorable skull last time.

Elco joined the party and played with them, which surprised Black Candle Duke, who had never seen Elco like this before.

William told Swann about his encounter with Mars.

Upon learning that Mars had passed away, Swann was filled with emotion.

Their teacher was shrouded in mystery, and now that he's gone, they'll probably never see him again in their lifetime.

Looking back on those days, they both sighed with emotion.

Swan was somewhat surprised to learn of Elco's decision to share her life with the Golden Fairies, but didn't say much.

Black Candle Duke reacted very strongly. He firmly opposed Elco and disagreed with the decision no matter how it was explained.

In the end Elco simply stopped paying attention to him and left her with the children far away from him.

The Golden Fairies were created by Swann, so Swann's help is still needed for this matter.

Just as Mars said, it's not a very difficult thing; the key is that Elco agrees to do it.

Black Candle Duke watched helplessly as Elco shared her life force with the children, and his spirits sank.

Last time, the three Earth God failed in their duty as guardians, allowing Elco be killed. This time, they failed again to stop Elco diverting her life force.

This made him feel ashamed of his identity as a guardian.

The problem of the Golden Fairies' Past Life Erosion has been completely resolved, but the issue of their identities still exists.

Yuxian said to Shi Wang, "From today onwards, they are no longer weapons, but ordinary people. With your status, I believe you can solve this problem."

Swan hesitated for a moment, saying, "Of course I can pass on the message and tell everyone that they no longer need to fight, but long-held beliefs are not so easy to change."

Yuxian pondered silently; this was indeed a difficult problem.

Although things can change gradually over time, the fear is that there might be some overreactions at the beginning.

"Just focus on getting this done first, and we can think about the rest later."

The identity of them as weapons must be removed; they can never be treated as weapons again.

Yuxian wouldn't allow it, and neither would Elco.

Swan sighed, nodded, and handed the task over to his men.

The entire surface world is still a world of beasts, and the Sixth Beast can still threaten the Floating Continent. If such news is conveyed at this time, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.

Yuxian was well aware of this, but it was something that had to be done. If he didn't change things out of fear of the consequences, then he would never be able to change them.

He doesn't have that much time, nor the patience to wait slowly; a swift and decisive approach is the best way to Yuxian.

Only by resolving this matter before he leaves can he leave here with peace of mind and return to Chaldea.

Chapter 23, Section 168: We Must Solve the Master's Problems

The Golden Fairies's identity has changed, and the original Fairy Warehouse is no longer suitable for living.

The thought of leaving the home we've always lived in brings a touch of sadness to everyone.

But everyone quickly recovered from their sadness and began to discuss their new home with great enthusiasm.

Island 2 is Swan's residence, the most suitable place for them to be their new home. Here, few people will disturb them, and many unnecessary troubles will be avoided.

The children were somewhat dissatisfied. Compared to Island 2, they preferred Island 11, which had beautiful scenery and delicious food, making it their ideal place.

"Why can't it be Island 11!" they protested.

However, these protests were ineffective. Swan, William, and Yuxian all agreed that Island 2 was the best choice and more suitable for them.

Moving is something that's neither too difficult nor too easy, but there are many things to be aware of.

This time, there are dedicated airships for round trips, so there are no problems with transportation.

Yuxian the children bustling around with great enthusiasm, Yu Xian didn't disturb them and became a spectator.

But when they tried to move all the stone blocks from the playground onto the airship, he finally couldn't sit still any longer.

This isn't moving, it's demolishing the house...

In the end, he had to strictly order everyone to take only their own belongings before the children gave up their idea of moving the whole house.

Island 2 isn't very large, but it has always housed only a handful of people, including Swann and Black Candle Duke, so accepting everyone from the Fairy Warehouse is no problem at all.

After several busy days, we finally settled into our new home.

Everyone is very satisfied with this new home; the conditions here are much better than those in the Fairy Warehouse.

Spacious rooms, a bright hall, soft grass on the playground outside, and a talking skull.

Yuxian suggested, "Let's give the new house a name."

The name "Fairy Warehouse" is no longer appropriate. This is their new beginning, so naturally it needs a new name to sever ties with the past.

Upon hearing this, the children all started to use their little brains. Of course, they all wanted to participate in something so interesting.

"How about calling it 'Gulu Gulu Beautiful Girl's House'?" As always, Aetheria was as playful as ever.

"Why add the prefix 'gulu gulu'? Does it have any special meaning?" someone asked.

"Of course it's because it looks cool!" Aetheria said with a matter-of-fact expression.

"Handsome my foot!"

Her suggestion was rejected, but she was persistent and undeterred, and immediately came up with a new name.

"How about the Golden House?" Aetheria grinned. "It sounds amazing!"

"Instead of calling it a golden house, why not just call it the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion? Wouldn't that be even more impressive?" Yuxian couldn't help but roll his eyes and mock.

He originally didn't want to get involved, after all, this was their home, Yuxian would leave sooner or later, so the naming of the house should be their own decision.

But Aetheria is too active, and her aesthetic sense is particularly unreliable. I don't know what kind of random books she reads.

Landoloch said, "Let's call it the Fairy Home."

She loves reading and is considered the most cultured person among them.

"So ordinary..." Aetheria muttered.

The name 'Fairy Home' is indeed very ordinary, but while it's ordinary, it's also easy to find no fault with it.

After racking their brains, they still couldn't come up with a better name, so they finally agreed with Landoloch's suggestion to name the place Fairy Home.

With a name, people feel a stronger sense of belonging to this place.

These children have finally found a home, Yuxian's task can be considered accomplished.

Based on past experience, this is the time for them to leave.

However, Yuxian did not bring up this topic with everyone for a long time, and continued to live in the Fairy Home as always, living a plain life every day.

It's not appropriate for others to overstep their Yuxian; that's his responsibility as the Master.
