I don't want to be an elf!

"Well......"

"See? This is the consequence of you choosing to leave alone."

Seeing that the stubborn girl in front of him was gradually understanding his words, Gray Rock Pi pressed on, saying, "But if you are still willing to serve the military, I can arrange for you to live with other members of your race, providing you with free housing and food. If you are tired of fighting, I can also send you to the First Floating Island, the place where golden fairies in the final stages of personality disorder live."

"Wait, what did you just say?" Tohka Yatogami, who had been expressionless, suddenly changed her demeanor.

"If you tire of fighting, I can also send you to the first floating island," Gray Rock Skin repeated. "This is what warriors who have given everything for the floating continents deserve. You will spend your twilight years there, which is the small token of our gratitude."

"No, not this sentence, it's the previous sentence."

“If you are still willing to serve the military, I can arrange for you to live with other members of your ethnic group.”

Grey Rock Skin recalled what he had just said and repeated, "If you want to live the rest of your life with other golden fairies before you disappear, I can arrange that too."

"What nonsense! I meant providing free food!"

Yatogami Tohka slammed her hand on the table and stood up, demanding in a booming voice, "Are you kidding me? Is the food really free?!"

"Forehead......"

Compared to spending the rest of her life with her people and living a free life on the floating island, this girl seems to care more about free food.

Even though he had seen countless golden fairies during his military career, this was the first time he had ever seen one so special.

"Why did you hesitate? You were lying to me, weren't you?" Tohka Yatogami's eyes turned dangerous.

“Oh, no, of course not,” Gray Rock Skin quickly replied. “Plenty of fresh, high-quality, and diverse food—as much as you want.”

"Hmm."

Yatogami Tohka slowly nodded, the dangerous look in her eyes gradually disappearing: "If that's the case, I might consider obeying your orders."

Seeing that the girl in front of him really only cared about food, Gray Rock Skin was speechless.

If he had known it would be so easy to solve, why would he have bothered with all that nonsense?

But this is fine too.

If food alone can render an out-of-control golden fairy harmless, then it doesn't matter how much food is provided.

“Very good, I’ll go and find out which fairy warehouse you used to live in.”

"Um... no need to worry, I don't care where I go."

Don't you want to live with your former colleagues and friends?

“But I don’t remember them. Wouldn’t it be sad if they remembered me?” Tohka Yatogami showed a complicated expression.

“Indeed.” Gray Rock Skin couldn’t help but sigh. “In that case, I’ll assign you to the nearest fairy warehouse.”

He wouldn't mind giving the Golden Fairy, this tragic race, a few more conveniences.

Not only do they have extremely short lifespans, but almost all of them suffer from personality disorder. As the military's secret weapon against the Sixth Beast, their existence is unknown even to the general public.

They arrived silently, and died silently.

Even though he pitied the golden fairies, there wasn't much he could do for this race; he could only do what was within his authority.

As a first-class military officer, he had no idea what his superiors were thinking. There was almost no welfare or care for this race; they were treated as mere tools.

If the golden fairies weren't all kind and pure beings, they would have already started a revolution and rebelled against the government if they were from other races.

Shaking his head and putting his thoughts aside, Gray Rock Skin said, "The nearest fairy warehouse is, as far as I remember, Fairy Warehouse Number Four. I'll take you there."

The fourth fairy warehouse?

Tohka Yatogami's expression didn't change much, but she was somewhat surprised inside.

If she remembered correctly, the Fourth Fairy Warehouse should be where the main characters of this world reside.

To be honest, it doesn't matter whether I meet the main characters of this world or not.

Since she could complete both the main and side quests issued by the system on her own, there was no need for her to contact the main characters.

However, she doesn't rule out going to the Fourth Fairy Warehouse.

Meeting an old acquaintance is always a good thing, even though the main characters in this world don't know her.

"I can accept."

“Very good. From today onwards, regardless of which fairy warehouse you belonged to before, you will be assigned to the fourth fairy warehouse and will be under my command.”

"As long as you keep your promise, it's fine."

"Free food is no big deal."

After resolving this unexpected trouble, Gray Rock Skin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"When you arrive in the new environment, be sure to get along well with the golden fairies there."

Chapter 5 Welcome to the Fourth Fairy Warehouse

Gray Rock did not personally escort Yatogami Tohka to the Fourth Fairy Warehouse.

He was the commander of the 2nd Division of the Wing Guard. If it weren't for this unexpected incident, he would still be patrolling the surrounding floating islands to guard against the Sixth Beast's attack.

With a mission in hand, one cannot simply abandon one's post.

Instead, he sent Yatogami Tohka to a small warship, instructing that warship to escort her to her destination.

It took her more than an hour to reach her destination.

After completing their mission, the orc warriors escorted the people to their destination and then left the floating island, returning to their fleet.

"So, this is where I'll be living from now on?"

Looking at the island where the main characters of this world lived, the girl felt very calm.

The floating island where the Fourth Fairy Warehouse is located is extremely small, less than one percent the size of other resource islands or inhabited islands.

This is also why this floating island has such a high number.

The existence of the Golden Fairies is unknown to the ordinary orc residents living on the floating continent islands. Therefore, they cannot live on the larger, higher-ranked floating islands like other orcs. Instead, they can only live in seclusion on these lower-ranked floating islands located on the border, where no one ever comes.

Stepping onto the land of this floating island, Tohka Yatogami, holding a map, headed towards the center of the island.

Not long after, she saw a man and a woman standing at the head of a small, dilapidated bridge.

The two men saw her and waved.

"Hello, you must be the golden fairy that Gray Rock Skin mentioned, Yatogami Tohka." The young man in military uniform said politely, "I am William Kmesh, the military representative of the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, a human. Just call me William. It's a pleasure to meet you."

“I am a representative of the Orlando Trading Company of the Fourth Fairy Warehouse, an ogre. You can call me Nigolan,” the tall, red-haired woman said with a smile. “From now on, you will also be a member here. I hope we can get along well.”

However, the friendly attitude did not elicit goodwill from the guests.

"The lizard told me this is the dwelling place of the golden fairies, so why are there humans and cannibals here?"

Tohka Yatogami took a step back and asked warily, "And how do you know my name?"

“We are the managers sent to supervise and take care of the Golden Fairies,” Nigolan replied. “As for your name, it was First-Class Military Officer Grayrock who told us about it.”

"You're lying. That giant lizard is still on the spaceship. How could it possibly tell you my name?"

"Ok?"

Nigolan didn't understand what she meant, blinked, and replied, "He didn't come in person, but he relayed this to Nigolan through a communication device. Is there a problem?"

What is a communication device?

"You don't even remember this? Just as Lord Grayrock said, you're a golden fairy in the final stages of personality breakdown." Nigolan sighed. "Anyway, you can think of the communication device as a machine that allows people to talk to each other over long distances. Lord Grayrock usually uses this device to transmit information to me."

"There's such a thing?" Yatogami Tohka asked, half believing and half doubting.

"By the way, didn't Lord Grayrock mention us to you before?"

"No."

"Strange, this doesn't seem like that person's style. Is there really nothing like it?"

"Um...maybe." Tohka Yatogami's eyes darted around. "But I forgot."

"Hey, Nigolan."

William leaned closer to her and whispered, "Is personality disorder really that serious? Forgetting things that just happened?"

“It’s serious, but not that serious,” Nigolan replied helplessly. “Perhaps this young lady just wasn’t listening attentively in the first place.”

"Hey there, Vi... Nigo... what are you plotting!"

“Well, it seems like she has a bad memory,” Nigolan said, covering her mouth with a laugh.

“At least she remembered two words from your name,” William shrugged. “I really don’t know how she remembered her own name.”

Are you making fun of me? How rude of you!

The girl certainly knew William and Nigolan.

The Fairy Warehouse is jointly managed by the Winged Army and the Orlando Trade Association. William is the manager sent by the military, while Nigolan is the manager representing the Trade Association.

However, in order to maintain her current persona, she cannot easily trust two strangers after just a few words.

The two sides remained deadlocked for some time.

Soon after, a blue-haired girl emerged from the forest.

The girl walked across the bridge and came to William and Nigolan's side.

"Ctholly, what brings you here?" William asked, puzzled. "Did something happen at home?"

“No, everything is fine at home, everyone is alright,” said the girl named Chtholly. “It’s just that you’ve been gone for so long and we were a little worried that something might have happened to you outside.”

“As you can see, our new member is a bit stubborn and suspicious, and doesn’t believe that Nigolan and I are the managers of the fairy warehouse,” William said helplessly. “Could you please clarify your identity as a Golden Fairy?”

"Is this the newest member of the Fourth Fairy Warehouse? This is the first time an adult Golden Fairy has joined from outside."

Chtholly looked at Tohka Yatogami not far away, raised her hand, and a small amount of magic power surged out as a symbol of her identity: "Hello, my name is Chtholly Nota Senioris, and like you, I am a Golden Fairy."

"Oh! Finally, I've met the Golden Fairy!" Yatogami Tohka's expression relaxed slightly. "So you two really are the managers."

“That’s what we said from the beginning,” William said wearily.

"Well, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up," Nigolan said magnanimously.

"Alright, now that things are settled here, let's hurry back. It's almost evening," Chtholly said. "The food's getting cold, and the other children are all clamoring for dinner."
