MINISTRY OF FAIRIES
Come in.
Excuse me.
The artwork merchant, Helneil Fang, had the Black Three.
Brown Skyer who runs a transport company in Fuzan was hiding the Black Six.
Would you like to check?
Never mind. I can do that later.
Carry on with your mission.
Yes.
Understood.
Only the Eye of Gui Carlin is still at large.
Eajay has the Black Nine.
I heard that he is using the castle of Theodula where the Emperor lived as his hideout.
Yes.
We arrested Deputy Minister Nick Laima.
I heard about that too.
I'm surprised to see a mole among government officials.
But was he the only one?
What do you mean
The report that tells the finding of the Black Fairy Tome at the port island
was provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Fairies.
There were administrative officers on the port island at that time.
Inspectors from the Ministry of Fairies were there too.
We think the information was leaked from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But it could also be from the Ministry of Fairies.
Are you suspecting a minister?
It's a matter of possibilities.
However, I want to use this chance to eradicate any remaining threats.
I agree with you.
I run a detailed check on the staff.
Thank you for the effort.
Threats...
CHAPTER 18: DANCING MOUSE AND BROKEN HORN
THEODULA CASTLE
The closest to the origin of fairies,
the beast of utmost divinity, the one possessed by a fairy.
This is why Colen Thor didn't tell the world the full inscriptions found at Midend.
He was your ancestor, right?
My ancestor was wise.
Humans are foolish.
If everyone could think as I do, there wouldn't be so much suffering.
Was the transplant successful?
Yes. It went as planned.
How many "mice" do we have now?
Along with me, he is the 54th cultivated fairy soldier.
We're finally halfway there.
With more transplant surgeries, the precision will increase over time.
Keep making more of them.
Toss the bodies of failed subjects into the drain as you always do.
DOROTHEA HEADQUARTERS
Keep this place safe and help the Director out.
You can count on me.
Mr. Robert.
See you soon.
Okay. Stay safe out there.
Don't worry.
I'll keep her safe.
You're the reason we should be worried.
There you go again.
Let's go.
Yes.
This place is pretty cozy.
I thank you for the thoughtful arrangement.
I'm only doing my best to hide you from the rest of the world.
That's true enough.
We can't let Marco Bellwood know about this place.
How much do you know about Marco Bellwood?
A descendant of the first fairy scholar Hel S. Bellwood
The Bellwoods are a noble family.
Marco showed great talents as a young fairy scholar and was renowned for it.
And before the unification,
he was a follower of Golbarn Helwise who was still the King of Cidal back then.
Is there anything strange about that?
Every country was focusing on developing artificial fairies and fairy soldiers.
Cidal was especially devoted to the cause.
Yes. A descendant of Jay B. Mercer who wrote the Blue Fairy Tome...
is currently working for him.
Glyph Mercer.
He is Marco Bellwood's lieutenant.
But they are collecting the Black Fairy Tome.
Do you know a cult known as the Eins Order?
Eins Order?
The beginning of everything, the first fairy,
wash away the filth of this world, chaos will once again be upon us.
The beginning of everything, the first fairy,
we pray that chaos doesn't befall us.
The beginning of everything, the first fairy.
We're here.
Say, what are we in Mazria anyway?
Eajay is inside the Theodula castle.
So, the Black Nine is in there too.
In other words...
Hi.
Are you Bitter Sweet?
Excuse me, but did we date?
You wish.
The security here is tight.
The Dorothea will raid this place pretty soon.
We'll use the commotion to sneak in and get the Black Nine.
Why must I go through all the danger with you?
Turn left.
Then, we turn right.
Okay.
By the way, does every castle have a network of tunnels underneath it?
They say the Emperor escaped from Mazria through these tunnels.
And we can use these tunnels to finish the mission with only a small force.
If we sent an army here, we might get hit by our own canons.
We can't afford too many casualties.
It hasn't been long since Schwarz Diese's battle.
We must avoid an all-out conflict as much as we can.
I bet the security here is too much even for you.
This could be quite a challenge.
About the other thing...
The Eins Order faded from the eyes of the public over 300 years ago.
But based on what I discovered, the truth seems otherwise.
Did fairies come before God, or did God come before the fairies?
Did the fairies create this world?
Or were the world and fairies creations of God?
Which is true?
The fairy scholars think fairies existed first.
After all, they are all connected to the Eins Order.
Early fairy scholars such as Hel S. Bellwood
were members of the Eins Order.
Who do you think existed first?
It doesn't matter.
I am going to use fairies for my cause.
Fairies can be used for endless possibilities.
That makes the United Zesskia that tried to own all fairies our enemy.
Master Eajay.
We found several dead bodies of the guards.
An intruder?
The Dorothea are here.
Quart.
Yes.
I'll see to it, Master Eajay.
This smell...
This chore always makes me feel disheartened.
If the surgery was successful, they'd be some fine soldiers.
You could be the next body, you know.
Stop poking fun at me.
What was that?
A bone?
This place...
Let's press on.
This place disgusts me.
Over here!
They didn't find us by chance. They were looking for us.
Were we compromised?
We can take it from here. You should press on.
Understood.
Let's go.
Yes.
Welcome, members of Dorothea.
He controls three fairies at once?
As ordered by Master Eajay, we shall give you a warm welcome
with our newly cultivated fairy soldiers.
QUART, CULTIVATED FAIRY SOLDIER OF GUI CARLIN MAFIA
Cultivated fairy soldier...
They are all the same.
This place is crawling with these things!
They are everywhere.
And they are tough.
Our cultivated fairy soldiers are mass-produced.
Aren't they amazing?
Mass-produced?
There is a large number of fairy soldiers upstairs!
Get out of my way!
The corrupted United Zesskia only sent the four of you?
We are seriously outnumbered.
Stop whining.
Marlya!
Take it down.
Impossible.
Number doesn't decide everything!
I must inform Master Eajay.
Damn it! You're not getting away!
Go after him, Free!
We'll catch up later!
We know you can do it.
You want me to place my faith in you?
For the greater good,
we fought in battles with a burning spirit.
We fought because of the greater good.
But is that the case?
I have my precious comrades.
They are the reason I am still fighting.
Master Eajay...
Roar!
You actually made it here.
Where is Nein Aular?
Is she too scared to face me herself?
What made you think she'd be afraid of you?
Whatever.
Aular will show herself once I'm done killing all of you.
After I kill that witch,
the United Zesskia is as good as a ruin in the desert of Midend.
I'll save her the trouble.
You will die by my hands.
This is the end of you.
The Verosteal...
Free Underbar,
I'll make an exception for you. You should feel honored.
Not bad.
I can't see it Fairy weapons sure are convenient.
I can say the same about you.
You're not getting away.
Don't you find it strange?
Fairies don't belong to anyone.
You wield a fairy weapon and possess a fairy,
why would you settle with being a lapdog of the United Zesskia?
Because villains like you exist!
If I ruled this land,
I'd liberate the fairies and let them live along with the humans.
Then, they can slaughter each other!
That's the ideal world I seek!
Do you think holding that fairy weapon makes you my equal?
Free!
Your little sidekick is here.
I'm not as powerful as you.
Indeed. I am all-mighty.
To hell with your ideal world.
I'm tired of listening to villains' grand speeches.
For the comrades who trust me,
I must take you down!
Impossible...
Do you have any idea who I am?
You're just a defeated mutt.
I...
I'll never admit this defeat.
Free!
That was close.
Agreed.
Finally...
Keep it safe.
We shall leave now.
I'll transport the Black Nine back to the Dorothea headquarters.
We're staying to eliminate the remnants
and search for the fairy weapon, Morterant.
Gui Carlin has been destroyed.
But still, watch your backs.
Yes.
Do it.
Miss Lily!
Wolfran!
But that's Oz's fairy...
The assailants used Oz's fairy.
The material for the Divine Beast.
I am possessed by a fairy.
