We Don't Want Your Crappy Ship! / The Venusian Devil

After discovering this situation, Little Jeanne, Gretel, and the other children gathered together and held a meeting of the entire Master's Bodyguard Team.

All six attendees were present, and none were absent.

Location: A room in the Fairy Home.

The six of them gathered together, their little heads close together in a circle, and began to discuss things in a very serious manner.

Little Jeanne said, "Master must be worried that those ugly monsters will continue to cause trouble, which is why he doesn't want to go back to Chaldea."

"Yes, as the Master's personal bodyguards, we should share the Master's burdens and solve their problems," Illya immediately agreed.

Gretel immediately thought of an opportunity to cause trouble. She said, "How about I release the Jabberwocky and kill all those monsters!"

"That won't work. If we sneak out, we'll definitely be discovered," Abby said with some concern.

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Everyone turned their attention to Abby, who immediately lowered her head; she had no good ideas either.

Illya thought for a moment and said, "It will be troublesome for us to go to the ground. Although I can fly, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth over such a long distance. Going secretly is definitely not an option."

Kuro's eyes lit up at this, and she said softly, "How about we borrow Maana?"

"That stingy goddess definitely won't lend it to me." Little Jeanne, having spent a lot of time with her friends, had probably started to gossip about people.

Gretel chimed in with a complaint, "She's just too stingy; she's not like a generous goddess at all."

"Then what should we do?" Little Jack, who had been listening the whole time, noticed that the topic was getting a bit off track and asked.

All six of them fell silent...

The expressions on all six small faces were very serious, and their eyebrows were almost joined together.

"I've got it!" Little Jeanne suddenly clapped her hands; she had come up with a brilliant idea.

"Tell us quickly, what's the solution?" the others asked anxiously.

Little Jeanne Arc blinked, huddled everyone's heads together, and whispered her thoughts.

"What do you think? I think it will definitely work." After explaining the plan, Little Jeanne looked at the others and asked for their opinions.

"I think we should give it a try."

"It can't be that simple. We need to refine the plan in detail and then split up to carry it out."

"Yes, yes, let's discuss this carefully again and make sure we do it perfectly and flawlessly."

The six little ones immediately became excited and offered their suggestions, contributing to the plan of this operation.

They discussed things in the room for a long time before ending the meeting, and they all came out with happy expressions on their faces.

It was a successful meeting, but it remains to be seen whether their plan will be a successful one.

P. S.: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!

Section 169, Chapter 24: We don't need your broken ship!

Ishtar had been bored these past few days. Today, as usual, she was lying on the table, playing with her beautiful, flowing long hair with her fingers.

"Goddess, Goddess, aren't you incredibly powerful?" Kerong ran up to Ishtar and asked Ishtar expectantly.

Upon seeing Kerong's gaze, Ishtar immediately sat up straight, transforming from her previous lazy demeanor into a very dignified and elegant posture.

Maintaining elegance is the proper demeanor of a goddess.

She cleared her throat and said with pride, "Of course!"

"Wow!" Kerong exclaimed, as if she had heard something incredible, and then ran away in a flash.

Ishtar wore a smug expression and happily hummed a little tune.

Even a goddess would feel incredibly happy to be admired by children.

Just as Ishtar thought it was just a passing fancy Ishtar Kerong, a group of children ran over and surrounded her.

"Is the goddess really that amazing?"

"It must be really amazing!"

"Is she even more powerful than Senior Keter?"

Just how powerful is it?

The children started talking all at once, making it a bit chaotic and hard to tell who was speaking.

Ishtar enjoyed their gazes and didn't find them annoying at all. Anyone would feel happy to be admired, and Ishtar, as a goddess, was no exception.

Moreover, these innocent children in front of her spoke with even greater sincerity, without a trace of hypocrisy, which Ishtar found very pleasing.

"Can the goddess destroy the monster?"

"It definitely can!"

"Yes, yes, if Senior Keter and the others can do it, then Goddess can definitely do it too!"

"I really want to see the goddess destroy the monster with my own eyes. It must be spectacular and amazing."

"No, it's too dangerous. Nigolan definitely won't let us go."

The children kept talking about Ishtar, one after another, and even started arguing.

Ishtar watched them with a smile, without interrupting them, listening quietly to them, feeling quite pleased with herself.

"Goddess, can you eliminate all the monsters? That way, everyone will no longer have to worry and be afraid."

A voice suddenly rang out, speaking at just the right moment, catching everyone else in the middle of a conversation.

This statement stood out clearly, and everyone heard it distinctly.

The children looked at Ishtar with expectant eyes.

We sincerely hope she will agree, so that everyone will no longer have to worry, and Keter and the others will no longer have to fight.

Ishtar froze, feeling immense pressure in the face of so many eyes.

She wasn't stupid; by this point, she had realized that someone was plotting against her.

That perfectly timed remark was something these children couldn't have timed perfectly; it would have been extremely difficult.

She caught a glimpse of several figures outside the door out of the corner of her eye, and immediately knew who was behind it all.

She had learned her lesson the hard way, and she never expected that they would target her again this time.

Ishtar was furious, extremely furious. The goddess felt her dignity had been challenged, and she was determined to defend her honor as a goddess.

But the expectations of these children were also giving her a headache. She couldn't let them down; walking away was not in her nature, and she couldn't do it.

What to do?

Ishtar was in a dilemma for a moment.

She quickly gritted her teeth and made a decision.

Ishtar stood up, waved her hand imposingly, and said, "Follow me!"

She walked ahead, leading the children outside. The space here was too small, so she wanted to take them to the open space outside the house.

Yuxian was about to enter the house from outside when he saw Ishtar with a large group of children, wondering what she was up to.

He called out to Ishtar, "The sun has just set, it's almost time for dinner, where are you going?"

"I'll be back soon, I won't be late for dinner!"

Ishtar answered without turning her head, and without stopping, continued leading the children toward the large open space outside the house.

Yuxian shook his head. He was somewhat surprised. Ishtar, who usually didn't like playing with children, was unusually acting as the leader of the children today.

However, he believed that Ishtar knew what she was doing. No matter how unreliable she was, she was still a goddess, and the children wouldn't have any trouble with her. So he stopped worrying and went to prepare dinner.

Outside the Fairy Home Island 2 is a very large lawn.

This is usually the main playground for children, and Ishtar brought the children here at this time.

It was getting late, the sun had already set, and Ishtar looked up at the sky, where a bright star was shining.

That was Venus.

Venus is brightest before sunrise and after sunset.

There is no legend of Venus in this world; perhaps it has been lost to the river of time with the extinction of humanity.

But Venus is still in the sky; it has never changed, and people who work from dawn till dusk are still very familiar with it.

"Maana!"

Ishtar summoned her Ship Maana.

A huge, uniquely designed airship appeared before the children. Compared to the airships they had seen before, the Ship Maana looked a bit strange, but it was very gorgeous and dazzling.

Wow! What is this?

"What a strange airship, but it's also so beautiful."

"Can we touch it?"

The children were amazed by the sudden appearance of the Ship Maana; it was a style they had never seen before, very special and gorgeous.

"Everyone, go on up," Ishtar said, instructing the children to board the Ship Maana, in order.

When the children heard that they could go up, they jumped for joy and quickly went up one by one.

Little Jeanne and the others had been following behind the group of children. At this moment, they pretended to be part of the main group without saying a word and also lined up to walk up to Maana.

"You have no place here!" Ishtar flashed in front of them, blocking their path and preventing them from setting foot on Maana.

"Why?! We're children too!" The children were furious and protested to Ishtar against her differential treatment.

"You'll have to ask yourselves that." Ishtar pulled her face down, mercilessly exposing their little tricks.

She patted Maana on the shoulder and said, "This is my Maana. I can let whoever I want go up, and I can stop whoever I want from going up!"

Ishtar's domineering attitude, as if she were the only one in charge of her own spaceship and could do whatever she wanted, made the children grit their teeth in hatred.

"What's so great about it! We don't care about your crappy ship!"

When the children realized that Ishtar was unwilling to take them along, they stormed off in a huff.

But their occasional glances at Maana betrayed their true feelings.

I'm so envious...

Chapter 25, Section 170: The Venusian Demon

"We're about to take off, Maana!"

"Gate open!"

Ishtar glanced at the six little ones who had left, then ignored them, leaped onto Maana, opened a portal, and flew away.

After Ishtar and Maana left, Little Jeanne said somewhat dejectedly, "Why doesn't any of us have such a convenient means of transportation?"

Gretel Yao nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, it seems we need to find a way to get one. It's getting too boring like this all the time."

"How about Afu-chan's Hippogriff? He'd definitely be willing to lend it to us."

After thinking for a moment, Illya came up with a solution. Astolfo was a very easy person to talk to, and Illya had always liked his Hippogriff very much. Back in Chaldea, she would often go to play with the Hippogriff.

"The Hippogriff is too small; it can't seat all of us," Little Jeanne rejected the suggestion.

Gretel also thought this was unreliable, saying, "Hippogriff is not as good as my Jabberwocky."

"How about we ask King of Conquerors to borrow the Ionioi Hetairoi? That should be big enough for all of us," Illya suggested again. "We should be able to ask King of Conquerors for a bit, right?"

Indeed, Iskandar wouldn't make things too difficult for them. Saying a few nice words shouldn't make it hard to borrow the Ionioi Hetairoi, that much is certain.

However, Gretel was a little disgusted with the Ionioi Hetairoi, saying, "The oxcart and stuff are too ugly."
