Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Earth fairies provide design ideas, wind fairies transmit information for each stage, mirror fairies use a certain degree of prophecy to see if their part will succeed in this or that way, wing fairies are responsible for all kinds of odd jobs, and they have no complaints because of their short stature and gentle nature, as well as tooth fairies are the main ones responsible for large objects, and are also the best warriors responsible for dealing with Morse disasters in various places.

Of course, this is only how it appears on the surface. If it weren't for Ash, Kurich, and Murlian's strict control, a conflict could break out at any time.

After all, not long ago, the Fang Fairies were eating fairies or humans everywhere to satisfy their desires, and the Winged Fairies were killing each other to protect themselves. Therefore, the harmony that is being built in Lundnium is only on the surface. If we are not careful, everything will be rewritten.

Ultimately, all six fairies share the original sin of poisoning gods. The Rain Fairies will face extermination due to their repentance, and the Mirror Fairies will experience a similar fate. In this world, those who are not warlike will meet their demise; it's a case of good people not living long while evil ones live for a thousand years.

"Speaking of which, you were the one who gave me the name, Teacher. Does this name have any special meaning?"

The blonde fairy placed her glasses on a wooden table. The table, painstakingly crafted by hundreds of earth fairies, was polished to a mirror-like shine, a sight that Ash found somewhat unusual.

“Didn’t we go to the Dark Swamp before? You and Murlian should have seen the dragon’s remains there, right?”

"Has its soul been cleansed by you, teacher?"

"That's it."

Novia tapped her fingers on the wooden table, making a series of sounds. "In the world I've lived in, her remains are beneath Rendynew in Britain, yes, a place also called Britain."

"Wow, teacher, you really know how to cherish old memories."

"Perhaps it's because I really have a connection with Britain."

Novia's statement is true.

While in Rome, he received Albion's assistance; while with the Huns, he had the opportunity to obtain the Holy Sword; and in Central and South America, he met Paracelsus and Bavanshi, and incidentally left behind a shipyard to build new ships for Edmund.

These things happened on an island called Britain, not to mention now.

Fairy Britain is still Britain, even though the fairies all deserved to die.

"How wonderful. It's Britain, which is not dominated by fairies but by humans. It's quite intriguing."

Ash said this purely out of curiosity.

It wasn't because I liked other parts of Britain, but simply because I wanted to see something similar yet completely different.

"...Then let's find out for yourself when you have the chance later."

Novia originally wanted to tell Ash more now, but after thinking about it, she realized that some things should be known by others before they can be defined. What she heard from others would always carry a certain 'opinion'. Novia could only say that England at a certain time was just as bad as everyone else.

"Hmph~"

The fairy's pale blue eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had suddenly gained some confidence after hearing this.

Why are you suddenly laughing like that?

"I remember the story you told me about Britain, teacher, about the knight king's experiences, although I'm not very clear about what the Wild Hunt is..."

Ash suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and gently shook her golden hair. "But in my opinion, even so, the ideal king did exist. Can I do better than her here? I'm worried."

Then, the blonde fairy's smile blossomed like a flower, and she proudly raised her chest.

"But after listening to what you just said, teacher, I feel very confident that I can do even better than her. Because you are better than that flower magician, and I am definitely not inferior to that knight king. Yes, that's right. The kingdom that will not let Britain end, but will give Britain a new beginning, will be built with your support."

Looking at the ash tree, Novia couldn't help but start her usual spiel:

"Fairies are not human. The position of fairies and your purpose can never be in harmony."

Fairies are like eternally innocent children, pure and simple, yet the most hurtful. They don't know or can't agree with the basic principle of "apologizing after hurting others" that maintains the smooth operation of society. It's not that they don't know what happiness is, but they can give up reaching a consensus that would bring long-term benefits for the sake of a lollipop in front of them, and give up exploring the deeper essence of things for the sake of momentary feelings. This kind of selfishness that lacks thought and is done at will will always cause endless disputes.

"Teacher, please stop talking. It's because you always indulge me like this that I still have these thoughts. Besides, there are many fairies who are very satisfied with the current environment. I've seen it with my own eyes."

She continued speaking.

"And as you said, if you want to achieve what you want to achieve, you must fight. Even if what you want to achieve may not be the same as what others want, you cannot give up the fight in order to achieve it, even if it means becoming evil in the eyes of others."

As if to reinforce this idea, a new idea also came to mind for the fairy of the paradise.

"So as long as you are still here, teacher, I can keep moving forward with this idea. That's right, I will have no regrets even if I risk my life. Why should I be afraid?"

Novia looked at the ash tree in front of her, thought for a moment, and changed the subject:

"...Fan, when you're alone with me, the ahoge on your head seems to go down a bit."

Although it was only a tiny change, the fairy's ahoge (cowlick) would bend down slightly as if she was very happy. Novia could naturally notice this small change, but Foggin would not, since Ash only did this when she was alone with him.

"Is that right?"

The blonde fairy looked up and gazed into Novia's beautiful, sea-like eyes, which reflected the sunlight streaming in from the window—a soft and gentle glow.

"I haven't thought about it very seriously, but being able to control my ahoge (cowlick) and stuff... that should be pretty simple, right?"

Deep within her eyes lingered a complex mix of emotions.

Her eyes, as tranquil and rippling as the surface of a deep lake, held a depth at the very bottom of that lake. What were her feelings and thoughts? This was not something that was difficult for Novia to discern.

"maybe."

Novia coughed softly and then put the glasses that Ash had placed on the wooden table on her. "Shouldn't fantastical stories only remain in books?"

"Of course, after all, the reason why fairies in stories bother humans is actually because they're happy, they want to make them laugh, they want to make them annoyed, they want them to see them, they want to meet them..."

The once confident and fearless Qin lowered his head somewhat shyly for some reason. "Ahem, of course, this is just a story. Reality is not entirely the same. Remember that, teacher."

I feel like I've been seen through.

No, they definitely saw through it.

The teacher probably already saw through my little scheme... Thinking about it, she's right. If I say too much, she'll find out eventually. How am I supposed to face Murian? But I started it, so what if I ruin the atmosphere? Will something strange happen...?

Seeing Ash's appearance, Novia smiled.

"The cheerful noise coming from outside must be some kind of festival. My cloak is ready, my hat is ready, my cane is ready, and my attire is perfect. It's time to go, Ash."

"Eh, um, um."

Quickly regaining his senses, Ash also dropped his previous demeanor and picked up his hat with a spirited air. "That's right, Ash, it's time to go!"

However, after taking a few steps, she turned around with a sad expression and looked at Novia, who had not gotten up.

"Teacher, you lied to me again. I have a meeting to attend today and can't go out... But I'll get it sorted out as soon as possible. Maybe there'll still be time."

Although theoretically, with the full support of Murian and Kurich, and the three clan leaders moving very quickly, the so-called meeting was at most a formality, nothing more than listening to where small calamities had recently occurred and where materials were lacking. Although Murian could basically handle these things, Ash still wanted to deal with them personally.

"Ok?"

Originally, Qin thought her teacher would tease her as usual, but to her surprise, he was sitting on the wooden chair with his head down, not responding to her words at all, as if he had suddenly fallen asleep.

To be honest, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't believe that anything could have happened to tire her teacher out in the past few days. But given the situation before her, she had no choice but to believe it. Moreover, seeing Novia in this state was a rare thing for her. So, while excited, she hesitated and approached Novia, squatting down beside her.

He rubbed Novia's face with his hand, and then, perhaps seeing that Novia still didn't react, the bolder disciple took off his glasses and placed them on Novia's face. Then, he extended his little finger, took Novia's hand with his other hand, and gently raised his little finger.

So, the human and the fairy intertwined their little fingers and made a pinky promise.

"That's fine then, it's settled, teacher."

Above the still unfinished Landineum, the sky was a clear azure. In the vision of the amusement park fairies walking in the corridors, all around were endless green grasslands, and everything, including fairies and humans, undulated like waves in the gentle breeze.

The sky in the distance is a clear and bright azure blue, and the endless green grassland stretches out in front of you, undulating like waves in the gentle breeze.

Suddenly, the demon, who had endless dreams for the future, had some thoughts:

Laughter is allowed, joy is allowed, connections are allowed, and development is allowed.

May this country's future endure forever, becoming an ideal paradise.

What will this kingdom, which I, my teacher, and everyone else have built together, be like? Will it be a beautiful kingdom? Will it be a dreamlike kingdom? If people from other worlds see or learn of it and think so, I will feel immense joy.

May this scenery and the future I pray for remain forever in my imagined memories.

The fairy in the paradise murmured to herself, and it seemed as if she was also murmuring to herself.

……

Earlier, after Novia said the words 'celebration' to Ash, he actually wanted to get up.

Although he knew there was a meeting, the silver-haired youth still had the idea of ​​forcibly dragging Ash out, so he wasn't deceiving her. But why didn't he get up? The answer is simple: he was 'asleep', just as Ash thought.

Of course, Novia in this dream is clearly aware that she is dreaming.

In a world devoid of color, Novia can see endless vortexes. In a space where time and space melt away ambiguously like mottled musical notes, some indescribable record unfolds rapidly, revealing countless blurry black worlds and the sun with unknown melodies flowing through them.

Everything seemed to be gradually dissolving into this blurry nothingness.

The feeling was warm, calm, and even comfortable, like a child melting in its mother's arms.

Just now.

"who is it."

Ignoring these feelings, Novia asked this question as she gazed at the vortex around the bizarre record.

That being said, he did have some guesses about the origins of the visitors.

He had heard this beautiful yet twisted melody before when he was in the prison tower, so it must be... another evil god.

"This is a suitable medium."

A sound rang out.

“I’m not saying that it was a mistake for you to leave that place and choose to come here.”

The pitch-black melody spread through the colorless world, chasing after the aftershocks of that colorless world.

The black melody reflected in the vortex looks like both a grand concert and a colossal throne.

Therefore, Novia instantly understood that, to some extent, this behavior was an expression of compassion, not a curse.

“I’m not saying Yahweh was wrong.”

The owner of the voice is like the sky, like the air, like the earth, like flowing water, like everything.

In that instant, a powerful impact struck Novia, and what was reflected in the silver-haired youth's eyes, what was etched into his memory at that moment, was—

A girl with enormous goat horns, standing six or seven meters tall, whose eyes have turned crimson and gold, and who has a crimson hole on her forehead resembling a third eye, and whose human feet have turned into hooves, is the last Master of Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Is that all there is to it?"

The enormous 'evil god' murmured this as he cupped his cheeks with the claws of a demon.

In an instant, an indescribable, vivid crimson color permeated the entire world.

……

At the same time, in Chaldea, in Fujimaru Ritsuka's room.

"..."

The orange-haired girl, who had been jolted awake from a nightmare, blinked her eyes as if she had seen something new and interesting, her mouth agape in a daze.

Following her gaze, I saw the words "Fujimaru Ritsuka" written above the desk next to me, as well as small notes on the wall that read "Work hard and don't hold others back."

“My name… is Fujimaru Ritsuka? Yes, that’s my name. How strange…”

Ritsuka scratched her face with her fingertips, touched her arm that was sticking out of her half-sleeved pajamas, and then rolled up the sleeve of the slightly oversized pajamas a little.

There were also scars on my upper arms. Because the skin that is not usually exposed to the sun has not been exposed to the sun, the scars are even more conspicuous.

Although she is a Master and is often protected by Novia, being on the front lines and being human after all, it is only natural that she would get injured.

After that, as if trying to fool herself, the girl laughed foolishly in the room without any guard up.

"How could I have such a dream that I almost forgot who I am..."

Chapter 444 I've Found You, My Love?

"Wow, this pink-haired fairy is even fiercer than Miss Ash when she fights? Is she a fighting type?"

"Perhaps...it might be due to some kind of blessing or his own personality..."

"Where's Kurich? Kurich? Where did she go? Quickly, call her over to support Miss Ash! Let her be a meat shield for the mage to deal damage!"

“There are just too many northern fairies… and Fujin, don’t you think this aura of protection is somewhat similar to the thing the master caught before…”

"It seems so. Could this thing have thought it knew the master and deliberately gone to another battlefield... Wait a minute? So this pink-haired girl can immediately generate a new body? No wonder she didn't defend against Miss Ash's attacks at all, and specifically targeted her weak points. What about Murian? Her insect space can barely hold out for a while, right..."

"With Murlian's power, Fokin, are you trying to send Murlian to her death? Don't be so inconsiderate of your colleagues, we're all the Master's subordinates..."

Having just left that colorless world where everything seemed to have vanished into nothingness, Novia, located in the still unfinished Landneum in Fairy Britain, opened her eyes and saw two crows nearby, wearing glasses and arguing about some magically created scene.

Before he could say anything more, the two crows that sensed Novia waking up in the chair flapped back and landed on his shoulders.

"Master, oh my god, you're finally awake!"

"Yes, yes, sir, your sudden fainting almost scared us to death..."
