Chapter 25: I'm Sorry for Eating a Person Alive
"Gu..."
A dull sound came from Yatogami Tohka's stomach.
Soon, as the sound rang out, a visible black aura seemed to emanate from her body.
The orcs who were closer to her even felt a chill on their backs, as if a thorn was stabbing them. The three golden fairies looked at each other.
Obviously, they all knew why Yatogami Tohka's mood suddenly turned bad.
After learning battlefield knowledge all day yesterday and not sleeping well at night due to the turbulence of the flying battleship, she finally gathered her energy and went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, but there were only disgusting insect eggs left...
It would be strange if she could be in a good mood now.
"I'm not really hungry, I'll leave this and the sausage for you." Chtholly gave the only food on her plate to Yatogami Tohka. "I can still bear it, you should eat more, fill your stomach so you can have the strength to study." Ithea also gave out a few pieces of fruit.
Looking at the half piece of bread, a sausage, and a few pieces of fruit in front of her, Yatogami Tohka's resentment did not dissipate. Although for a girl with a small appetite, these things are enough for a meal.
But the words "small appetite" had nothing to do with Yatogami Tohka. Not to mention filling her stomach, she might finish this little bit before she could even taste it.
So she didn't ask for breakfast from the three golden fairies and returned the things.
She looked around like a hunter looking for her prey. It seemed that because of the oppressive atmosphere, none of the more than 20 beastmen in the cafeteria dared to look her in the eye.
They all lowered their heads and ate their breakfast quietly, fearing that they would be picked on by the other party.
At this moment, the pig chef in the kitchen seemed to have noticed the quiet atmosphere outside and stuck his head out to see what was going on.
Seeing the empty plate in front of Yatogami Tohka and the little breakfast left at the food pick-up area, he immediately understood what was going on.
Sure enough, this golden fairy came today as well.
According to military regulations, in order to avoid emergencies, the food stored on each floating battleship must be doubled based on the number of crew members and days.
That is to say, for a ship with 40 people, the food reserve will be enough for 80 people.
In this way, if they encounter thunderstorms, spacecraft failures, or attacks from terrorist groups, forcing the ship to make an emergency landing on an uninhabited floating island, they can still hold on for a while.
But what the Pig Chef didn't expect was that this time they encountered an emergency situation where they encountered a big eater.
At this time, Nephren also saw the appearance of the Pig Chef. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to talk to him.
This was undoubtedly an act that violated the apartheid law, but after a conversation with Yatogami Tohka last night, her idea of abiding by this law had weakened a lot.
What's more, now is not the time to talk about whether to abide by the law or not.
As someone who often cooks for Yatogami Tohka, she naturally knows better than anyone how terrible this guy's excessive appetite is. If she fails to satisfy her appetite...
Looking at Yatogami Tohka, who was now scanning the orcs, Nephren had no doubt that she had the potential to eat someone alive.
"Hello."
"Oh... hello?"
Hearing Nephren greet him, the Pig Chef was stunned for a moment, but soon responded.
He didn't expect that the usually aloof golden fairy would take the initiative to greet him.
After all, due to racial segregation laws, the golden Fairy would never appear before them. Even if they happened to meet them, they would just ignore the orcs.
Therefore, many orcs in the army had the impression that the golden Fairy were unkind, as if they were as powerful and aloof as real Fairy. In addition, the existence of the golden Fairy was a secret, and all orc warriors were given a gag order, not allowing them to discuss anything related to the golden Fairy, which further deepened the gap between the golden Fairy and other races.
Today, for the first time in his life, the mysterious golden fairy spoke to him, which made the Pig Chef feel flattered.
"Excuse me, could you please make more for each meal?" Nephren said, "My partner has a big appetite. If she doesn't eat enough, she might do something irrational when she's in a bad mood."
"We've already done our best." The Pig Chef said awkwardly, "There are only me and two other chefs in the kitchen, and we can only make as much as we can."
"So, it's just a lack of manpower?"
"Well, the food supply is enough... probably."
"I can help you cook." Nephren said, "I learned a little before, but I'm only a beginner."
"You're willing to help? That's great!" The Pig Chef said in surprise, "It doesn't matter if you're not a good cook. You can help me by doing some simple chores."
"Let's cook faster!"
Compared with the consequences of violating the apartheid law, the Pig Chef cares more about whether he can feed his crew.
The hungry soldiers will easily become restless, and it will be a piece of cake for them to break into the kitchen.
If the golden fairy with a big appetite really does something irrational because he is too hungry, it will be a headache.
Although he is not a real soldier, but just a chef on the ship, as a member of the military, he still knows how powerful the golden fairy is. If the other party is unhappy and sinks this floating battleship, his life will be over here.
After all, he is just a pigman and has no ability to fly.
"Then without further ado, I'll leave it to you to help me next."
"OK."
Nephren nodded.
Before she and the Pig Chef walked into the kitchen, she turned back to look at her companions.
"Chtholly, Ithea, I'll leave Tohka to you," she said, "I'll go to the kitchen to help with the cooking. Before the next dish is served, please keep an eye on her and don't let her eat people."
After saying that, Nephren walked into the kitchen.
Leaving behind helpless Chtholly and Ithea, as well as a group of orcs sweating profusely in the cafeteria.
Don't let her eat people?
What's the meaning?
Is the Golden Fairy so cruel?
Some of the beastmen suddenly remembered the stories their mothers told them when they were young.
They became even more panicked when they remembered the stories of travelers who got lost in the forest and were eventually toyed with by forest fairies and killed by lake fairies who would disguise themselves as beautiful women and drag the seduced people into the water.
So the Golden Fairy is as dangerous as other fairies?
No wonder the military doesn't let them come in contact with this race!
Chapter 26: Riot
Feeling the slightly strange atmosphere in the cafeteria, Chtholly and Ithea looked at each other.
Both of them felt a little awkward.
Although Yatogami Tohka is sometimes out of line, and Nephren occasionally says shocking things, eating people is too exaggerated. Maybe Nephren just said it casually, but the beastmen who don't know much about golden fairies took it seriously. The two have seen many people carrying plates and preparing to escape.
There are races in this world that survive by eating other races.
The most typical example is cannibals like Nygglatho. Hundreds of years ago, humans were part of their diet, and the taste of humans has a strong appeal to them.
If humans had not disappeared five hundred years ago, cannibals would have had no humans to eat, and their need for humans would have been weakened after their sSpirit-evolution. I'm afraid Nygglatho really couldn't resist the desire to eat Willem.
Therefore, when the orcs heard the golden fairy say that her companions might eat people, they did not doubt it at all. Seeing that their reputation was about to be damaged, the two golden fairies quickly began to defend themselves.
"Let me clarify, we golden fairies don't eat humans." Chtholly said sincerely. "That's right, Nephren was just joking just now, but she has a paralyzed face so you can't tell." Ithea also agreed. Seeing that the two people's attitudes were sincere and not fake, the agitated orcs gradually calmed down.
Although there are indeed races that feed on other races, the orcs are no longer as uncivilized as they were five hundred years ago. Under the guidance of the Great Sage, the orcs who were considered barbaric five hundred years ago have now accepted human culture, abandoned their previous ways of drinking blood and eating raw meat, and
gradually formed a new civilization.
Such barbaric behavior as cannibalism is not allowed in today's society.
Moreover, this is the military. If you are caught eating people, it is a capital crime and you will be beheaded. "But compared to humans, beastmen are closer to beasts." Yatogami Tohka suddenly said. "Don't make trouble anymore!" Ithea covered Yatogami Tohka mouth with a frown. "I'm very sorry, everyone. This child's brain is not working well." Chtholly bowed to the others apologetically. At this moment, a cold snort sounded.
As if he wanted everyone to hear his dissatisfaction, he attracted everyone's attention. The one who snorted coldly was a lion man.
The lion mane was very strong, with thick golden mane scattered on his slightly tight military uniform. Among all the orc warriors present, he was also one of the most conspicuous ones. The cat race's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked very angry, just like a lion king who was provoked, exuding an aura that he was not easy to mess with. "Look at how cowardly you are!"
The lion-man slammed the table angrily, almost breaking it into pieces, and growled, "We are powerful orcs! Why are you all so afraid of these unconquered people? You are a disgrace to the soldiers and orcs!"
The lion people are a tribe that worships strength.
Among the hundreds of races in the floating continent, they can be regarded as the first-tier race.
Joining the army and fighting on the battlefield is the dream of every lion.
As an elite warrior of the younger generation of the Lion Clan, Simba's purpose in joining the army was naturally to train him Spirit on a higher platform. However, looking at the orcs around him who were terrified in front of the Wuzheng Clan, Simba felt a great shame.
He originally thought that those who could join the army must be the proud sons of each clan, and had a sense of honor that was no less than his.
But these orc elites were frightened by a few words from Wu Zhengzhong and dared not speak. If this matter were to get out, they would be laughed at! "Hey, that troll over there!"
Simba pointed at a green-skinned troll in the corner of the cafeteria that was no smaller than him, and asked angrily, "Don't you worship strength even more than the lion people?
Why can you tolerate a few unmarked people running wild here?"
The troll who was named stopped eating, but did not get angry. He touched his head naively and said, "Because I have a brain." In terms of strength alone, trolls are also a first-tier race, even more powerful than lion men.
However, they were used to solving everything with force, so their wisdom was suppressed. This also led to people often cursing on the floating continent islands, saying "Trolls are smarter than you!" And now, for the first time in his life, Simba was cursed by a troll, and his anger suddenly rose. "If you want to find trouble, go find it yoursSpirit, don't drag me into it."
After taking a look at the lowest-level military emblem on Simba's shoulder, the troll continued to bury his head in his meal: "My motto is love and peace, and I don't like fighting." Hearing this, the corners of many people's mouths twitched.
Everyone who knows him knows that this troll has inherited every stereotype of trolls. He will fight and smash things if something doesn't go his way, and he has never shown respect to people weaker than him. There is only one reason why he pretends to be good.
He is a veteran.
As someone who had been to the battlefield several times and witnessed the fighting posture of the Golden Fairy with his own eyes, the idea of not provoking the Golden Fairy was deeply engraved in his simple and
crude mind.
Almost everyone present was a veteran.
As long as they have fought side by side with the Golden Fairy once, no matter if they despise the weak or the unconquered, they will not dare to act rashly in front of the Golden Fairy.
Simba, on the other hand, is a new soldier who has never been on the battlefield.
In the outside world, the golden fairies were unknown, so in his impression, all the unconquered species were weak. Even after joining the army, the officers warned him that the golden fairies were powerful and he should not provoke them, but he was still dismissive in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that the defense of the 15th floating island required a large number of soldiers, it would not be his turn as a new recruit who was still in training. After noticing that Simba was a new recruit, the eyes from the surroundings gradually changed from puzzlement to gloating. This finally made him realize that something was wrong.
Could it be that these unconquered people are really as mysterious as the officers say?
Looking at the thin-armed and thin-legged golden Fairy, and then looking at the orcs around him who seemed to be enjoying the show, Simba felt a little conflicted. He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power coming from his biceps, and the conflict in his heart was immediately swept away. He believed that his muscles would not lose to those women!
"Golden Fairy over there, if you have the guts, challenge me in a one-on-one duel!"
Simba raised his head confidently, took off his military uniform, and revealed his muscular body. "I want to show you the glory and power of orcs!"
