When the Juggernaut Comes To the Second Dimension

"Um."

Yong Ye continued to move forward, while Nephlian followed behind him in silence.

The so-called goblin is actually a naturally born thing, not a human being, a monster, or an orc. It is a kind of half-ghost.

The monsters deliberately created by the Floating Island Continent will be brought to the fairy warehouse by the Wing Guards to be cultivated into weapons, or... powerful bombs?

Because they are special living bodies, fairies mostly remember the situation when they were just born, the wonderful moment when they changed from nothing to something, and the first memory when they began to exist.

The stuff that makes up a goblin, the strongest emotions in the dying souls of the past generations, will remain in the goblin's heart and affect their lives.

As for Nefflian Luke Insania, the emotion brought to her by her previous life is the sense of emptiness that still resides in her heart until today.

This world has come to an end, and even now on the floating island, it is just lingering.

Under the current situation, it is not surprising when it will suddenly be destroyed, so the anxiety that may disappear at any time is a feeling that really exists at present. Once you close your eyes, will you lose the anxiety when you open them again? Whether the place will collapse at any time, thus falling into the anxiety in the dark, and the problems that the goblins will face...

——Whether the personality itself named Nephren will be disintegrated, disappear without anyone knowing, and then be replaced by others.

This is not so much nothingness, but more like an uneasy feeling, which is still deeply rooted in Nephren's heart today.

I can't have feelings for the unstable things in the world, because it is something that is not surprising to lose at any time, and that kind of anxiety grows into a sense of nothingness that everything I pursue has no meaning, and life seems to be illusory.

She found a similar emotion in Yong Ye. Although it was the first time they met, she had a feeling of déjà vu, as if seeing the stage when she was young when the sense of emptiness was the strongest, which made her think of the time when she was young. The feeling of risk, the sense of nothingness that made her breathless, that heavy and bitter memory.

Frankly speaking, her sense of emptiness comes from the past, or the feelings attached to the girl who was treated as a reusable bomb in her previous life, but she didn't understand what happened to Yong Ye, and she didn't understand what caused it. Yes, so I didn't know how to treat him at first, and now... still not very clear.

But as Nigolan told her, instead of being alone, if they both have the same mood, then even if they are just by their side, if they are together, they will feel more at ease. She believes that this must be right.

After returning to the residence, Yong Ye, who was inexplicably emotional, put his hand on Nephlian's little head, which was still thinking about something, and stroked her silver hair roughly.

"Well?"

After recovering from her senses, Nephline looked up. Yong Ye, who had no expression on his face, kept his face straight in disgust, but didn't push his hands away. He just lowered his head to think about the problem again, but his head was very fast. There was a voice.

"It's almost time to eat."

"So... what do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, as long as you can eat it."

"Is it like this again? ... This is the most troublesome."

It was this indifferent attitude that made Nephlian fall into distress again. For a while, she didn't know what to eat, so she couldn't help thinking again about what she should do.

On the other hand, Yong Ye picked up a bayonet that could be used as a dagger, and drew curses on the ground like a child's graffiti, until Nephren came to ask him to eat.

Autumn passed quickly, and winter was approaching in a blink of an eye. Lando Luke and Noft had already gone to the airship to serve as guards, and during this time.

When the adult goblin soldiers from the goblin warehouse went out to fight, Yongye followed secretly, but returned a day or two later than them as if nothing had happened. Just after returning this time, Nigolan told him that she had news of William.

William, who was sixteen years old, had been awake for a year and a half, and was almost eighteen now.

In the past year and a half, he has been living a life of part-time job in a daze. It seems that he wants to pay back the money those salvagers spent on him. Glick, the famous salvager, tricked William over when he was collecting money.

So this night, when Nephlian went back to the fairy warehouse, Yongye also went to the fairy warehouse.

With his arrival at night, the goblins stopped playing outdoors and hid in their rooms, as if they had gone to bed early.

"I don't even know whether I should thank you for coming and let those children go to sleep obediently, or should I be angry at you for making them scared."

In the living room, sitting opposite Yong Ye, Ni Gelan shook her head and complained gloomily while making milk tea.

"I think you should be grateful to me. After all, isn't it a good thing to go to bed honestly? Children, it's always convenient to be a little scared, although they are actually quite afraid of your anger."

"And what about the older kids?"

"...The older children simply reject me who denied their seniors, well, I don't care, anyway, they have nothing to do with me."

"Is it really?"

Niglan looked at Yong Ye suspiciously, and didn't really believe Yong Ye's indifferent words.

"Otherwise what else?"

"I heard Lian say that when they go to the battlefield, you will disappear for a few days?"

"Ah... When Lian is away, I have to find somewhere to eat, right? So I went to see other floating islands."

"During this period of time, there will occasionally appear on the battlefield who don't know who killed it, like a beast being shelled?"

"Have you forgotten the chaos on the battlefield? It may also be that spells have been added to the artillery fire of the Wing Army, or some new magic weapon has been developed."

"Don't lie, the magic weapon of the floating island continent has not improved at all. Outsiders may not know that the floating island continent is developing the magic weapon, but I know very well that even the magic weapon is just an empty title without any real power. A person is just an official position to deceive others to make others think that the magic weapon is still developing."

Niglan pressed her hands on the coffee table, leaned over the table, and approached Yong Ye who was fiddling with the rifle indifferently.

"Look at me, it's not a bad thing to admit this kind of thing, and it can also ease the relationship between you and those children, from a terrible big devil to an idol hero, isn't that good?"

"Well... If you are wearing a low-cut dress, maybe the posture at the moment is an attractive look, and then I might take a look if I am in a good mood, but it is a pity that the clothes you are wearing now have a collar that reaches your neck. Men won't be interested either."

Looking at him from left to right, Yongye has been very proficient in changing the subject in this way recently, so he just looked down at the rifle as usual, thinking about the places where the spells on it could be improved, and didn't look at Nigolan at all. idea.

Niglan subconsciously covered her chest, but found that Yongye didn't look at her at all, and she was depressed for a while, but she tried her best to adjust her emotions, quickly sorted out her thoughts, sat back and pushed the brewed milk tea over, Sighing and not speaking, the whole room fell silent.

The silence didn't last long, as if unable to suppress the impulse in her heart, Nigolan drank half of the milk tea and looked at Yong Ye again.

"Actually, I also thought about doing the same thing as you. After all... even if those children become adults in the concept of goblins, they are still just children after they develop from larvae to adults. They obviously don't even understand love, and even what happiness is. You don’t know anything, why do you have to die at such a time?”

Nigland's hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly as she exerted force on it. In the teacup, on the surface of the gray milk tea, there were clearly visible ripples.

"Why, we adults can't replace those girls? Why do we adults need children to sacrifice their lives to protect them?"

"...Because of the power gap, you can't replace those goblins."

"I know this! But they are the soldiers who protect the people, but they always sacrifice our children here. Why don't the soldiers charge at the forefront, but let the children who should be protected die instead? Why can't they work harder and find a way to use it?" Fight in other ways! Why save our children here! Since so many floating islands can be floated in the air, but there is no way to deal with a few wandering beasts?! That's why... I don't recognize those wing guards I worked hard!"

"According to the order of priority, those who make the island float should have more important things to do, or... goblins are just as many creatures as they need, and only the number of holy swords that can be found is scarce to maintain this number. There is no need to waste time for goblins, this is a very wise judgment from the perspective of those in power."

No need to think too hard, Yong Ye can guess the general idea.

It is certain to say that it takes a lot of energy to lift the floating island continent, but even if it was the ultimate strength at the beginning, the relative number of floating islands in recent years, and later because the sixth beast came to live on it, and in order to avoid them After multiplying on it, it spread to other floating islands and sank a lot. It stands to reason that after reducing those burdens, there will be more or less energy, right?

It would definitely not be difficult to use the extra power to defeat the beasts that came up, but they didn't do it because... In their view, goblins are just life, and they just need more or less consumables, just like the current definition of weapons.

"But I can't accept it!!"

Yong Ye's rational analysis made Ni Gelan slap the milk tea back on the table, the tea was flying high, and the whole person stood up and glared at Yong Ye condescendingly.
