I don't want to be an elf!

"How can I be shy? Girls are shy when they sleep with girls. That's too embarrassing!"

Yatogami Tohka puffed out her chest, as if she wasn't afraid.

But he couldn't help thinking about it in his heart.

In other words, Nephren seems to be only 14 years old.

Sleeping in the same bed with a 14-year-old girl, is that considered copper smelting?

But on second thought, Yatogami Tohka seems to be only two years old.

That's right!Age and gender aside, she has nothing to be ashamed of!

Chapter 22 Apartheid Laws

At night, in Nephren's room.

All day today, Nephren and the other two golden elves are trying to let Yatogami Tohka familiarize himself with the commands on the battlefield, the way of action, the information of the sixth beast and the easiest to kill before arriving on the battlefield as soon as possible. Way.

Chedori and Isaya, two experienced combatants, were responsible for imparting knowledge, while the more attentive Nephren was responsible for compiling the knowledge taught today into questions as a test to test how much Yatogami Tohka had absorbed.

Picking up the unfinished test paper from Yatogami Tohka who was already lying down, Nephren began to correct the questions that had been done.

"Excluding the unfinished parts, and only counting the completed questions, your correct rate is 60.00% two."

After 10 minutes, Nephrien, who finished correcting the test paper, said: "If you add the unfinished parts, the correct rate is only 50.00%, which is not even close to the passing mark."

"It's not my fault."

Yatogami Tohka lay motionless on the table, her eyes were like dead fish, and she said: "A lot of questions on the test paper were not taught by Cordoli and Atheya, and those I remembered were basically not tested. arrive."

"Of course, you can remember it, it is common sense." Nephron said lightly, "The battlefield is changing rapidly. If you want to survive, you not only need to know the basic knowledge, but also Learn to use this knowledge at any time to assemble the correct solution to break the situation.”

"Sounds so complicated."

"That's why you need to learn."

"Wouldn't it be nice for me to act together with you at that time? I can do whatever Lian does, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

"My intuition tells me that you will never obediently follow me on the battlefield."

"How can I be so ignorant."

"Since he is a sensible child, let's continue with the questions tomorrow."

"Wow..."

Yatogami Tohka held her head and said without tears: "Devil, Ren is a devil."

"I am a golden goblin, not a demon."

Seeing Yatogami Tohka looking exhausted today, Nephlian didn't ask her to review the questions she got wrong.

From morning to afternoon, Chodori and Isaya took turns teaching knowledge, and in the evening Nefren had to give tests. To be honest, Nefren didn't expect that she could last so long.

"Then this is the end of today's study."

Putting the corrected test paper on the desk, Nefflian said flatly: "In order to continue studying energetically tomorrow, let's go to bed tonight."

"Len, go to sleep first." Yatōgami Ju stood up and stretched, "My head is so hot today that I learned a lot. I'll go get some fresh air and then come back to sleep."

"On the battleship, the golden goblin is not allowed to leave her room without authorization."

"But I'm not a golden goblin!"

"But in the eyes of others, you are, and you also want others to think that you are." Nephlian reminded, "Don't forget, if other people in the military know that you are not a golden goblin, they are likely to take you Take it away, and you won’t be able to stay in the Fourth Fairy’s warehouse from now on.”

"Well...but it's already this time, there shouldn't be anyone on the deck, right?"

"It would be troublesome if we were seen."

"What happens if you're seen?"

"If you violate the apartheid law, you will be..."

Just when Nephline was about to say something, her voice stopped abruptly.

To be honest, she didn't know what would happen if she violated apartheid laws.

Because the law is the law, and it is always bad to violate the law, so they have always followed the rules set by the government.

The only reason golden goblins obey the laws and rules is because they are pure by nature, not because they are afraid of the consequences.

But what if they do break laws and rules?

Are you punished?

By whom?

The golden goblin is the strongest race in the entire floating mainland archipelago. It is the secret weapon against the sixth beast. Who really has the power and power to punish the golden goblin who made mistakes?

Yatogami Tohka's words made Nephren fall into deep thought for a long time.

"And I went to the cafeteria today to eat with so many orc soldiers, and they didn't say anything." Yatogami Tohka continued, "What idiot came up with the apartheid law? It's of no use at all! "

"The purpose of the apartheid law is to protect us." Nephlian took out the official statement, "As a golden goblin without a levy, it is easy to be bullied by orcs outside."

After the extinction of human beings, only various orc races remained in this world.

On the entire floating continental islands, there are hundreds of races at least, with different shapes and abilities.

However, although they are collectively referred to as orcs, not every race has the characteristics of beasts.

Among them, those races that do not have the characteristics of beasts and are completely indistinguishable from humans in appearance are called [non-signed species].

The non-requisitioned race is the race that is discriminated against.

the reason is simple.

In the history of the orcs, humans are the chief culprits who created the Seventeen Beasts.

As one of the few races with magical powers, they were also the overlords on the continent. Not only did they have the ability to defeat the Demon King, but they also conducted various research to further explore the mysteries of the world.

The birth of the Seventeen Beasts is the result of human research getting out of control.

At the same time, it was also the reason why the orcs had to flee their homes, stay away from the earth, and finally huddled in the sky.

And those races that look exactly like humans have naturally become the targets of anger.

And because most of the unsigned races don't have strong bodies and strength like the beastman races, in this society where strength is generally respected, their status is originally lower than other beastman races.

Because of this, the unsigned species are often bullied and stared at by other orcs.

And the golden goblins, as a race of appearance and human beings, appear in the orc world and are often regarded as unsigned species.

In order to avoid being discriminated against by the orcs, the coalition government of the Floating Continental Islands issued an apartheid law to keep the golden goblins away from other races. They can only live in the goblin warehouses on the border on weekdays, and they cannot communicate with other orc warriors even on the battleship.

"But don't you think it's strange?" Yatogami Tohka asked, "If the purpose of the apartheid law is to protect, it should also be to protect the orcs. The power of the golden goblin is far stronger than that of the orcs. You directly Wouldn't it be enough to beat them up?"

"Violence is bad."

"But if the orcs are the first to pick things up, they are the ones who are wrong. Why do you have to bear the price?"

"..."

"You are the ones who have been paying for the floating mainland islands, why do you have to endure such treatment?" Yatogami Tohka snorted softly, "I don't want to abide by such unreasonable laws! . "

Facing Yatogami Tohka's continuous doubts, Nephren didn't know how to answer.

Once the golden goblins were born, they were educated to dedicate everything to the floating mainland islands.

They are used to obeying the orders and commands of their superiors, even if they are sometimes wronged, they can tolerate it.

After all, in exchange for fighting the Sixth Beast, they also got a life of indifference to the rest of the world, with food and clothing.

The essence of the golden goblin is a dead spirit, and the more indifferent to one's own life, the stronger the power it can exert.

Therefore, sometimes even if they are treated unfairly, they don't feel it.

Just like the implementation of apartheid laws.

Even if they are excluded from the mainstream world by the coalition government, they will not feel much, and no one will protest.

Even Nephren, who is an outlier among the golden fairies, is afraid of death and oblivion.

It wasn't until Yatogami Tohka mentioned this that she belatedly realized that the treatment of her own race was indeed unfair.

"It makes some sense." Nephlian said, "I didn't expect Tohka to be quite smart, to think so much."

clever?

The girl was slightly taken aback.

To her, this was not a happy compliment.

Even if she is really smart in person, but now she is playing the role of Yatogami Tohka, a character who should be thought of as an idiot.

If someone gave her the title of being smart, wouldn't that mean she was just OOC?

In order not to lower her acting value, the girl quickly said: "William told me these things when we chatted with me earlier, and I didn't come up with them!"

"I see, is it William?"

Nephron had no doubts, but nodded in approval: "He seems to have been studying the golden goblin race these days, so it's not surprising that he can come up with these questions."

Seeing Nephren accepting this argument, Yatogami Tohka breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Afterwards, she stood up and stretched her body: "Then, I'll go out and blow some air, you go to bed first."

"I'll go with you."

Although she agreed that the implementation of apartheid laws was unnecessary, Nefren was still a little worried about her going out alone at night.

After getting dressed again, Nephren got out of bed and came to her side.

Yatogami Tohka's mouth twitched in the face of Nephren who decided to go forward together.

She originally wanted to wait for Nephlian to fall asleep, and then come back to sleep by herself, so that it would be less embarrassing.

But now Nephron is worried about her going out alone and insists on accompanying her, and she has no reason to refuse.

So, the two had no choice but to walk out of the bedroom together.

Coming out of the bedroom, which was not much larger than a prison, it seemed that even the air had become fresher.

Walking on the deck of the battleship, Yatogami Tohka took a deep breath and relaxed her mind.

Although it was an excuse to say that it was an excuse, but now that it really came out, she found that it was pretty good.

She had been studying all day today, but she was exhausted.

I originally thought that this would be a pleasant trip to fight monsters without thinking, just swinging a sword, but I didn't expect to have to memorize so many things before fighting monsters.

For example, the meaning of the military horn, the hand gestures on the battlefield, the areas where the golden goblins cannot approach, the sixth beast's attack methods and solutions...

Even if you don't act like a fool, it is difficult to remember all the knowledge in a short period of time.

Breathing out a breath of turbid air deeply, the sluggish spirit was lifted up a lot.

The battleship was moving at a constant speed, and the night wind was blowing on his face, which seemed to take away the fatigue in his heart, and calmed down unconsciously.

"There don't seem to be many stars today."

Yatogami Tohka looked up at the sky, then leaned on the railing, looked down at the scattered floating islands below, and said with some surprise: "However, the floating islands are really beautiful from this angle. , I didn’t expect the floating island at night to be so beautiful.”

In the dark night sky, the floating islands that are near or far away are like pearls embedded in the darkness, shining with little light.

It was a sight she had never seen before.

Probably, after leaving this world, I will never see a similar scene again.

Looking at the slightly excited Yatogami Tohka, Neferen also walked over, leaning on the railing and admiring the surrounding scenery.

As one of the few golden fairies in the Fourth Fairy Warehouse who likes to be idle, she doesn't like to wander around like Atheya and Cordoli. In fact, she prefers to read or stay in the yard to bask in the sun.

Even on a battleship, you shut yourself in your bedroom because of apartheid laws, and you don't come outside like you do now.

Therefore, even if the golden fairy has the ability to fly, she rarely goes out at night just to see the scenery.

Under the leadership of Yatogami Tohka, it was also the first time she took the initiative to choose to break the shackles of the apartheid law.

The cool night wind blows her lavender ponytail. Standing on this vast deck, looking at the surrounding scenery, she can't help but indulge in it for a while.

"It was the right choice to come out with you tonight."

"Hasn't Lian come out before?"
