I don't want to be an elf!

Even if someone defies authority and insists on the legitimacy of Tohka Yatogami, that's just a minor issue.

When the time comes, we can just take Kurokawa out for a stroll and have him endorse Yatogami Tohka.

Although this lazybones is unwilling to spend time ruling the floating continent archipelago, it wouldn't hurt to lend a hand.

Let Tohka Yatogami become the Great Sage.

At first, everyone thought this proposal was outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

But as Athena argued her case logically, everyone thought about it and realized that she had some merit.

They simply felt that Tohka Yatogami had absolutely no connection to the title of Great Sage.

Ultimately, Swan's more accurate title is the leader of the floating continent archipelago; "Great Sage" is merely a title.

If Tohka Yatogami really becomes the new leader, she can let others call her whatever they want.

Empress? Venerable One? Great Lord?

The form of address can be changed at any time; it's not a problem at all.

The group looked at each other.

Athena's proposal...

It seems like there might actually be some potential?

Chapter Sixty-Six: Draft Bill on the Human Rights of the Golden Fairy

Time flew by, and a month passed quickly.

During this time, news of the Great Sage's passing spread like wildfire to all the floating islands.

Some people mourned for him, some felt lost about the future, and some didn't care at all.

But no matter who you are, you can clearly feel that with the passing of the creator of this floating continent archipelago, the situation among the various orc kingdoms has become turbulent.

Just as William had predicted.

Without Swann's supervision, the Winged Guard gradually formed different factions through infiltration by various kingdoms.

The original mission of the Winged Army was simply to eliminate the invading Sixth Beast and protect the safety of the floating continent islands.

However, as the First Floating Island gradually loses its former absolute power, the Winged Army has also gradually taken on different political colors.

In some kingdoms, certain legion commanders are even banned from entering the airspace of rival kingdoms because of their close ties with them.

The tension between the various kingdoms is escalating.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, which belongs to the Second Division, made no move.

They neither declared their political stance nor instructed Yatogami Tohka to act according to the plan.

They simply carried out the annihilation mission assigned to them by the Wing Army quietly, just as usual, as if nothing had happened.

William is waiting.

The people at the Fourth Fairy Warehouse are all waiting.

And the long-awaited news finally reached the Fourth Fairy Warehouse today.

"Om..."

The floating island where the Fourth Fairy Warehouse is located, and the dock.

As the engine roared to a halt, the hatch opened, and the floating ladder was placed on the dock.

Baloni, a rabbit-human from the United Government who had met Yatogami Tohka and William once before, stepped out of the airship.

He was a first-class military officer belonging to the First Floating Island United Government, or rather, a member of Swan's faction.

I've come here today for only one purpose.

After glancing around at the crowd that had been waiting for him at the dock, Baloni pulled out a document with gold trim and an official red seal from his pocket.

"A new bill from the coalition government, the Golden Fairy Human Rights Bill Draft, has been passed."

Baroni stood ramrod straight and solemnly read aloud: "In accordance with the will left by the Great Sage before his passing, from this day forward, all Golden Fairies will no longer be regarded as weapons, but as citizens of the floating continent archipelago with the same rights as the orcs. The Information Control Law will also be invalidated from today onwards, and all information belonging to the Golden Fairies will be declassified. Your history and achievements will be known to all citizens."

"Great!"

"The day has finally come..."

"Go wherever you want!"

When Baronie uttered the last word, almost everyone present cheered and jumped for joy.

This is a historic moment on the floating continent islands.

This is a day to remember, especially for all the Golden Fairies.

Their long wait was worthwhile; the day of liberation finally arrived.

From this day forward, their race will enjoy equal human rights with other races and will no longer have to sacrifice themselves for anyone unless they choose to.

The Fairy Warehouse, this name will also be swept into the dustbin of history.

At the same time, they do not believe that this is only a temporary freedom.

Because once the information about the Golden Fairies is no longer controlled and becomes known to ordinary orcs, the military will never again be able to use them as weapons.

If they ever want to retract this draft, they will face not only the wrath of the Golden Fairy, but also the opposition of all the conscientious orcs on the entire floating continent archipelago.

Just as Gray Rock Skin said.

The Golden Fairies are all admirable warriors.

They have given so much for the floating islands; the entire floating islands owe them a debt.

They should be respected as heroes, not used as weapons.

Even though many officers in the Winged Army used the Golden Fairy as a tool for promotion, thanks to Tohka Yatogami's continuous efforts, at least in the Second Division, ordinary orc soldiers had already fully accepted the Golden Fairy.

Of course, this was also partly due to the fact that the First Rank Military Officer of the Second Division was an enlightened officer like Gray Rockpi.

But in any case, a bright future awaits the Golden Fairy.

"Once this news spreads further and reaches the entire floating continent archipelago, side quest three will be considered complete."

Hearing this news, Tohka Yatogami was in a good mood.

She has been living in this world for two months now, a much longer period than before.

However, none of the side quests were completed.

Side quest one is only a quarter complete, and side quest two hasn't even started yet.

Now, thanks to his own dedication and the efforts of Black Candle and Swan, side quest three has finally been completed.

Moreover, she is 80% confident that it will be a perfect success.

"It seems that the refining method given by Swan is indeed correct, and Black Candle Master should have succeeded."

Since the Golden Fairy has been officially declared free, it only means one thing.

During this month, Black Candle Lord actually produced the so-called [Soul Crystal].

Moreover, the Soul Crystal created using the Spirit Crystal as a reference must have the ability to replace the Golden Fairy.

At that time, the deal between Yatogami Tohka and Shiwan was that she would lend them her spirit crystals for research, and if the resulting soul crystals were useful, he would agree to release the Golden Fairy.

With the birth of the Soul Crystal, the transaction was considered complete.

"Miss Yatogami, Mr. William."

After handing the document declaring the Golden Fairies' freedom to Nigolan, one of the managers of the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, Baloni approached the two of them and lowered his voice: "The Lord of the Second Floating Island, Lord Black Candle, wishes to meet with you. He says he has important matters to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, William and Tohka Yatogami exchanged a glance.

As expected, after completing the creation of the Soul Crystal, Lord Black Candle invited them to witness the birth of this product.

They had no reason to refuse the invitation.

They were all very curious about the Soul Crystal.

Moreover, if Yatogami Tohka is to replace Swann as the new "King" of the floating continent archipelago, while power is the most crucial element, both a heavy hand and a sweet treat are indispensable to make the beastman kingdom obey.

If they could persuade the Black Candle Lord to hand over the Soul Crystals to them for distribution, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to unite with the Orc Kingdom and launch a counterattack on the ground?

Upon realizing this, William became even more agitated.

"Well, let's go."

He took a deep breath and followed Baron into the airship with Tohka Yatogami.

"This is the first step in realizing the plan."

Author's note: Today's Tohka

Chapter Sixty-Seven Soul Crystal

A day later, the two arrived at the second floating island aboard the express airship.

Although they both knew the way, they still followed Baron to the Black Candle Lord's castle.

A month has passed, and the curse that was originally left here has completely disappeared.

The trees affected by the curse have regained their lush greenery, while those that withered due to being too close to the castle were unfortunately cut down.

In the garden, the withered flowerbeds were removed and replaced with more vibrant blooms.

The castle servants who had been driven away by Lord Black Candle had all returned to their posts.

Upon entering the garden in front of the castle, they saw Black Candle Lord lying in a wheelchair, wearing oversized sunglasses, basking in the sun, enjoying the breeze while being served by two orc maids holding fans.

Seeing this, both William and Tohka Yatogami couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

The outside world is in complete chaos. The power of the united government on the first floating island is constantly waning, and the various orc kingdoms are eyeing their neighbors with covetous intent. Anyone with eyes can see that an impending civil war is imminent.

But this guy is just lying here enjoying life, completely oblivious to what's going on outside.
