Finding William arriving, Chtholly happily took him to the Fairy Warehouse. With everyone's guidance, William finally found his room.
William chatted with the small children. As more and more children gathered, Chtholly leaned against the door frame and said to them, "What are you guys doing? Didn't I tell you not to disturb people?"
"This one is force majeure."
"We're super curious!"
"That..."
The little girl explained, while Chtholly spoke in mock anger, "I told you guys, didn't I?"
The expressions on all the children's faces froze, and they hurriedly ran out of the room, ready to go back to sleep.
"These kids are really..."
Chtholly sighed helplessly. She entered the room and closed the door behind her before looking at William, "Sorry, they were a bit noisy."
At this moment, Chtholly's face was completely red. Her heart was racing, and she didn't know what she was doing. She could have just shooed the kids away, but instead, she ended up coming in herself.
She pretended to look at the ceiling but unconsciously glanced at William. She hadn't expected the new administrator to be him. Seeing his features reminded her of the day they met and watched the sunset together.
She was certain she had fallen in love with him.
Thinking of Zhao Ling'er, who dared not express her love because of Li Xiaoyao's memory loss, Chtholly decided she would express her feelings no matter what.
But... considering this was only their second meeting, was it really appropriate?
While she and William made small talk, her hands nervously clenched behind her back.
It was at this moment that she remembered she hadn't introduced herself to him yet.
"Chtholly, my name is Chtholly. It's a little late, but I didn't introduce myself then."
"William, my name is Willem Kmetsch."
William stood up and formally introduced himself to Chtholly.
"That..."
Chtholly looked into William's eyes, trying to express herself directly. The life of a Leprechaun Fairy was as short as a moth's.
Living until sixty? Chtholly didn't believe it. She felt it was a trick by Liu Yuan to lure her into playing.
Her lifespan depended on her actions. If she couldn't clear out the beasts, she would need to destroy them by blowing herself up to ensure the floating island's safety.
She wanted to express her feelings but ultimately suppressed them.
"I'll leave now if there's nothing else, haha~"
Chtholly decided to leave first. She felt like her head would explode if she stayed any longer. As she pushed the door open, she summoned Seniorious. As she closed the door, William saw the holy sword through the crack.
"It's..."
An image of a red-haired woman flashed before his eyes, the last wielder of this weapon.
"Why, why would this weapon..."
William followed her, but by the time he opened the door, Chtholly had disappeared. Looking around, he found the hallway window open. Walking quietly to the window, he subconsciously looked up to the sky. Half of the holy sword was floating in the sky, with the remaining half in fragments, like stars surrounding her.
Chtholly looked at the moon as if it were a star in the sky. At that moment, William watched her, not wanting to disturb this somewhat lively and somewhat shy girl under the moonlight. As he relaxed his spirit, the sound of stepping on the floor made Chtholly look back.
"Who?"
She blushed a little when she saw it was William.
"It's you. Did you come to see the moon too?"
"Yes...you..."
"Want to come up and sit?"
At Chtholly's invitation, the other half of the holy sword turned into the form of a sword and flew in front of William. Looking at the familiar weapon, William subconsciously touched it.
This state was unheard of. What he could be sure of was that the girl in front of him had exerted the weapon's original power and even exceeded it.
He sat down on the sword, and instead of being as small as he thought, the sword flew to Chtholly's side as if it were a seat holding him up.
Chtholly's face was completely red. She stumbled a little as she explained, "This is called Imperial Sword Art. I just learned it today. I didn't expect it to work so well."
"Imperial Sword Art? What's the name of this weapon?"
"Seniorious."
"Really? What a great name."
Turning his head to look at Chtholly, she appeared as beautiful as a genie, quietly looking at the moon as if she were wishing for something.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Me?"
Chtholly turned her head and smiled, "I was thinking how nice it would be if this moment lasted forever."
William fell silent. He felt out of place compared to this girl. He was ready to leave, but Chtholly caught him.
"It's a bit boring being here alone watching the moon. Can you keep me company?"
"I..."
William couldn't refuse.
"Not saying anything means you agree~"
William didn't make a sound, only his body had no intention of leaving.
They just sat and looked at the sky. After a long time, William started the conversation, "I remember this place is a weapons warehouse. Is that what it governs?"
"Not really. In fact, we are the real weapons of this warehouse."
"What?"
"There's nothing to hide. We adult Leprechaun Fairys will fight as weapons, and when we face an undefeatable enemy..."
Chtholly covered her chest as she felt the energy flowing in her body. Unlike magic, the 'cultivation' brought by Ki made her calm and peaceful while nourishing her body and making it stronger. It could also make her Fairy Gate more powerful, right?
Chtholly couldn't help but smile. She turned her head to look at William. Destroying the Beast was her mission. After so many years of influence, she wasn't afraid to die. She was more afraid of dying a meaningless death and even more afraid of never experiencing true love before she died.
William also turned his head to look at Chtholly. He saw in her eyes a determination not to give up, her blue eyes reflecting all her love for the world.
Weapons? Self-explosion? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Sitting beside him was a living 'person.' She had a mind, hobbies, and was even recognized by this holy sword. She shouldn't be a weapon; she should be 'brave.'
Chtholly looked up at the starry sky once more, "Ling'er told me that every star in the sky is a god, and if you meet a shooting star, you're meeting a god who has landed on the mortal world. Hey~ it's a shooting star!"
As if the sky responded to Chtholly's words, a shooting star cut through the dark night.
"It's a shooting star~ Wish, wish, wish, my wish is..."
Chtholly silently made a wish. Whether the legend was true or not, those around her were already aware of it.
"Weapons... weapons..."
William had difficulty accepting this result. Weapons... as living beings?
