Chapter 37: The Girls' Wishes
In the end, the ten copper coins were wasted.
The eating contest was over, and after stepping down, Yatogami Tohka gently rubbed her belly while being supported by Nephren as she walked down the road.
"Damn it, if that centaur hadn't come in, I would have definitely won this eating contest." Yatogami Tohka waved her fist unwillingly: "Even the Cyclops didn't eat me. If I compete with her again on an empty stomach, I will definitely not lose!"
"When I saw you eat so much before, I always wondered if there was something wrong with your stomach." Nephren said calmly, "Today, I saw that you ate more than you, and I feel relieved."
"Woo woo woo, gold coins, my gold coins."
"What do you want the gold for?"
"If you want to buy something, isn't money necessary?"
"That's true, but you're already full and you can't eat anything else for a while. Is there anything else you want to buy?" "Um..."
Yatogami Tohka said somewhat disappointedly: "I originally wanted to win this game and use the gold coins to buy some gifts for Nephren, because I have been spending money all the time and Nephren has not bought anything."
Hearing this, Nephren blinked and looked at her in surprise.
I didn't expect that this was the reason why she participated in the competition.
Nephren thought she just wanted to eat.
But, if you think about it, it's not that surprising.
Rather, it does sound like something that Yatogami Tohka would do.
At first, she was attracted by all kinds of food in the food court, and all her energy was taken away by the dazzling array of goods. After she calmed down a little, she found that she had spent most of her money, while Nephren had not spent a penny.
In order to compensate Nephren, he participated in the eating contest, hoping to win the bounty to do something for Nephren, but in the end he lost a move and failed to get the
first place.
"Idiot." Nephren sighed slightly, "Just take care of your Spirit, don't worry about me." "But Nephren must want something too, right?"
Yatogami Tohka touched her forehead which didn't hurt at all, "The money Willem gave was for the two of us, but I spent it all, and I feel sorry for you."
"It's okay. Didn't you share the food you bought with me?"
"That being said..." Yatogami Tohka scratched his head in distress. "There is no other way now. What does Nephren want to do? Whatever it is, I can accompany you. This can barely be considered compensation."
"I have been doing what I want to do since the beginning." Nephren looked at the surrounding scenery, "Exploring the unknown things in the city, this is what I want to do now, so you don't have to worry about it."
"I always feel that this statement is a bit of a lie."
"That's the truth."
"Is there anywhere else Nephren wants to go?"
"Want to go somewhere...let me think about it."
After thinking for a while, Nephren thought of something and said with some excitement: "I read about it before when I was in school. There is a wishing well in the city of Corina Tierchi. As long as you make a wish sincerely, your wish will come true."
"Wow! There is such a convenient place!"
"I want to go there and take a look. Even if I can't really make my wish come true, I can at least fulfill one of my wishes." "Yeah, then let's go there!"
Her stomach felt a little better and Yatogami Tohka was able to walk on her own.
The two asked the local residents on the road, hoping to get the location of the wishing well. Most of the residents here are very friendly, and soon they learned the location of the destination they wanted to go to from the residents. Walking on the road, Yatogami Tohka asked curiously: "If the wishing well is real, does Nephren have any wishes that she wants to fulfill?" "Yes, there are many."
"If you can only have one wish come true, which one would you like to have come true?" Nephren pondered.
She did have many wishes to fulfill, such as not being troubled by the erosion of her past life, being able to survive every battle, Chtholly and Willem living happily, her cooking skills becoming as good as Nygolan's, and the children of the fourth fairy warehouse growing up healthily...
But if you can only choose one, then it can only be that one. "I hope that the Seventeen Beasts can disappear from this world." Nephren said. For the people in this world, this wish is not uncommon. In fact, whether it is the Werebeasts or the Unsigned, many people wish that the Seventeen Beasts that are causing trouble in the world will disappear. As a golden fairy, Nephren wants the Seventeen Beasts to disappear. It is obvious why.
"If they disappear, the golden fairies won't have to keep fighting." Nephren said, "After world peace, we can continue to live like ordinary people."
"Well, it looks like a wish that Nephren would make."
Yatogami Tohka nodded slowly, then rolled up his sleeves and flexed his muscles: "Although the gods of this world may not be able to hear Nephren's wishes, it doesn't matter, Nephren's wish will be fulfilled by me!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Of course, we must drive out all the Seventeen Beasts, leaving no one behind!"
Hearing this, Nephren just shook her head helplessly.
The Seventeen Beasts have occupied the earth for hundreds of years, and their number is unknown. It is impossible to destroy them all.
But she had no intention of seriously refuting Yatogami Tohka , and just took it as a joke. "What about Tohka?"
Nephren did not dwell on her own wish for too long, and asked, "If you have a wish that you want to come true, what would you wish for?" "Well... let me think about it..."
Yatogami Tohka fell into deep thought.
Her expression was very tangled, her eyebrows twisted together, as if she was really thinking about something very important. "Ah!
That's right!"
After a long while, an idea suddenly occurred to her, and she said excitedly, "I want a stomach that can never be full!" "I thought you already had it."
"No! If there really was, I wouldn't have lost to that centaur girl just now!" "To me, your stomach is already a bottomless pit. If the gods really fulfill your wish, not only Nygglatho, but also I will have a headache."
"Well... I'd better change my wish then."
Yatogami Tohka scratched his head, but this time he didn't think for long. He changed his wish and said, "I hope Nephren's wish can come true.
This is my new wish!"
"I always feel that this statement is a bit of a lie."
"That's the truth, too."
Yatogami Tohka smiled and raised two thumbs up: "If Nephren wish can be fulfilled, won't I have more time to learn cooking in the future? This way, my midnight snack will be more abundant. It's a win-win wish!"
"That's true."
Nephren nodded slightly, looking into the sky, as if imagining such a future. "It would be great if it could really come true."
Chapter 38 An Invitation from the Sage
Under the guidance of local residents, the two walked through the streets and alleys and finally came to the legendary wishing well, which is a well built quite formally and carved from marble.
For a well, it is beyond its value.
The wishing well looked very clean, with no garbage around and no moss on the well.
Seeing what she had wanted to see for a long time, Nephren quickened her pace with a little excitement and came to the wishing well. Putting her head into the well, she saw clear groundwater and some coins stuck in the mud that had not been washed away. "It seems we are in the right place."
Although she still had a blank expression on her face, Yatogami Tohka could clearly sense the satisfaction in her tone, just like a child who finally got the toy he had always wanted.
Although she has been trying to act mature and like a guardian in front of Yatogami Tohka , this does not mean that she is such a character. Whether on the battlefield or in the fourth fairy warehouse, Nephren her Spirit is actually the one who is taken care of, but when facing Yatogami Tohka , she has
to become the one who takes care of others.
This was not because it was a job requirement like Nygglatho, nor was it an obligation like Chtholly. It was simply because someone had to take care of Yatogami Tohka .
Therefore, Nephren, who had the closest relationship with Yatogami Tohka , had to take on this responsibility.
In essence, Nephren and Yatogami Tohka are just children who need to be taken care of. "Oh! There looks to be a lot of money in there."
Yatogami Tohka also imitated Nephren, lying on the side of the well and sticking her head in. "No one wants it anyway, right? In that case, let me— — —! "
However, before she could finish her words, she was pulled out by Nephren.
"What are you thinking about?" Nephren held her forehead with her hand, "Why do you think the money was left here? Be careful or you won't be able to get up again if you go down." "I can fly, but others can't."
"What if I get stuck?" "I'm not that fat!"
"But it's not good to get dirty by the mud underneath, right?" Nephren said. "The mud inside hasn't been cleaned for who knows how long. Do you really want to pick out the copper coins one by one from the mud?"
"Well..." Yatogami Tohka hesitated for a moment, "I'd better forget it."
Nephren observed the wishing well for a while, then said confidently: "It looks like it's the same as what's said in the book. The way to make a wish is to throw a coin into the wishing
well, and then silently say the wish you want to come true in your heart."
"Hmm, then do it quickly!"
Nephren opened her wallet and rummaged through it, only to take out the last copper coin. The two looked at the only copper coin and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"How about we throw it together and make a wish together?" asked Yatogami Tohka .
"This doesn't seem to be against the rules." Nephren said after hesitating for a moment, "But if gods really exist, it shouldn't make any difference to them whether they throw one or two."
"Think about it from another perspective. We are handing over our last property. We are so pious, the gods will definitely not care!" "Yeah, that's true."
The two stood in front of the wishing well and threw the last copper coin into it together. Then they closed their eyes, put their hands together, and silently said their wishes in their hearts. After making the wish, Nephren expression was obviously much more relaxed, as if a matter was settled. Compared with other golden fairies, she likes reading books and knows more about the outside world, and is interested in more things. However, because the golden fairies cannot leave the fairy warehouse freely, she can only keep what she read in the books in her heart. Today she got the opportunity to move freely and completed something she had always wanted to do. She is already satisfied enough. "You two are really hard to find for me."
At this moment, a male voice came from behind: "Although I am sorry to disturb your interest, the free time given by Gray Rock
Skin for you will end early."
Nephren and Yatogami Tohka opened their eyes and looked behind them.
At the entrance of the alley, there stood a rabbit man wearing glasses. Although he was wearing a neat military uniform, he did not have the rude and warlike temperament of other orc warriors. Instead, he looked gentle and refined.
Nephren glanced at the military emblem on the other's shoulder.
The rabbit man in front of him turned out to be a first-class military officer, just like Gray Rock
Skin. "Excuse me, who are you?"
"Baroni Makishi, a military attaché of the First Floating Island." Baroni said calmly, "I know who you are. Time is running out.
I'll skip the introduction."
"Military officer of the First Floating Island?" Nephren was slightly stunned. "What do you want to talk to us about?" The First Floating Island is an island located in the center of the Floating Continent Archipelago, and it is also the most important floating island. This island is not only the headquarters of the United Government, but also the residence of the Great Sage of the Floating Continent Archipelago. As an army under the United Government, the Guardian Wing Army directly obeys the command of the First Floating Island.
However, the golden fairies rarely come into direct contact with the people on the First Floating Island. Because, compared to the official soldiers of the Guardian Wing Army, they are more like mercenaries recruited by the Guardian Wing Army and are non-staff personnel. They do not enjoy the preferential treatment and benefits that the Guardian Wing Army soldiers should have, so naturally they have nothing to do with the people on the First Floating Island. "To be precise, I am not here to find you, but to find the one next to you."
Baroni looked at the girl next to Nephren, paused and asked, "Yatogami Tohka , that's your name, right?" "Yes."
Upon hearing that this military officer from the First Floating Island was looking for her, Yatogami Tohka showed a puzzled expression on the surface, but she was not panicked at all in her heart.
Because she knew that the First Floating Island would find her sooner or later.
The number of golden fairies is limited. Apart from the fourth fairy warehouse, there are only a few other fairy warehouses. If Graycrack reports her name and asks people to investigate her identity, it won't take long for her identity as a 'golden fairy' to be doubted.
Not to mention that her fighting posture on the fifteenth floating island had far exceeded the limit of what a golden fairy could achieve. It was natural that the people on the first floating island would be curious about her.
However, it had only been less than two days since the end of the battle of the fifteenth floating island. She thought that the first floating island would not take action until a few days later, but she did not expect that their reaction would be so quick.
"It looks like I found the right person."
Seeing that Yatogami Tohka confirmed his identity, Baroni made a gesture for him to follow him and said calmly, "The owner of the First Floating Island, the advisor of the Guardian Wing Army, the great sage wants to meet you."
