chapter 999
19. You Know Nothing (The New Book is About to Be Released)
“What’s wrong, Zelus? Why don’t you come over? The other beastmen are gone; you don’t need to keep pretending to be a subhuman. Or are you missing someone?”
Seeing Zelus, who had already sprouted a pair of airplane ears and was trembling all over, still not coming to my side, I asked again, “Are you concerned about a certain beastman? Tell me what he looks like, and I’ll make him ‘come back.'”
“Come back,” isn’t quite accurate; of course, I wouldn’t let those beastmen who tried to obstruct my plans “reappear.” I would just create a perfect replica for Zelus, one that wouldn’t interfere with my life .
“…”
However, this time, the little fox ultimately didn’t make a fool of herself at such a moment. Clenching her fists, she hesitated for a while before slowly coming to my side.
“Just wait a moment; the ceasefire will be fine.”
I rubbed Zelus’s head, which was trembling along with her body.
Although all the other beastmen were gone, this situation wouldn’t affect the smooth progress of the “ceasefire.” I just needed to make everyone in the Austro-Hungarian tribe “forget” about Gero, Gu Erdan, and the other high-ranking beastman warriors who came along after all the “troubles” were cleared away.
It’s just a matter of a single sentence, Zelus; you don’t need to worry so much. Just trust your master. Now, just wait a moment for me, after all…
Another trouble is right before my eyes.
I turned to Zerola, and the surroundings were so quiet that, thanks to this, I could clearly see Uncle Zerola and his lackeys, each of their faces displaying shock every single second.
There was no fear, for they had yet to comprehend what had just happened. Such ignorant and humble beings were not yet qualified to feel fear.
“Uncle, when you come looking for me, could you not involve unnecessary people?”
“!”
Uncle Zerola, as if waking from a dream, began to act. He could not ignore the scene that had just unfolded before him, so he hurriedly started searching around instead of continuing to shift the blame onto me.
“What did you just do!? Where are those beastmen!? Where did they go!?”
“Uncle, it was just a little magic. As for the beastmen you mentioned, they… are not here~ there are no beastmen as you described.”
“Lies! Adev, the elves, Louis IV! You saw it, right!? We clearly saw so many beastmen here just now, and now they’re all gone, and you still say there aren’t any…”
No one paid attention to Zerola’s words except for his lackeys.
After all, the girls beside me still seemed not to have “come to their senses.” Sigh, you really love to make me worry.
Since the queen couldn’t resolve the trouble for the time being, then I’ll take care of it. Louise had already prepared well enough for today.
“Uncle, what you saw may not be real~”
“What…”
“Just like now, there are always things that will exceed your understanding. You can choose to hesitate, to be blind, but… you cannot just listen blindly. For example, believing in what some ‘fairies’ flying around in the sky tell you , leading you to make erroneous judgments and causing you to act foolishly, right?”
“!”
[Zerola kill… hiss]
In the next moment, Uncle’s fist, filled with enough force to “instant kill” me, along with his body, came to a halt right in front of me.
“I thought… you could understand, Uncle. However… since the moment of ‘restoration,’ it seems that your remaining value in my heart has been continuously decreasing.”
As he raised his hand, Uncle Zerola had already been sent flying from in front of me, crashing into a few of his bewildered lackeys.
Relying on various “coincidences,” I barged in to disrupt the negotiation scene, where Louise couldn’t be on guard. Order Fairy, is this what you want to “bet” with me?
Well, it seems that what you revealed is truly pitifully small.
“Kefir, you lost.”
Kefir, floating beside me, clung to my arm: “Ogilid, why do we still have to talk about winning and losing?”
“Hey, are you trying to play dirty just because you lost? When you win, we talk about winning and losing; when you lose, we talk about feelings?”
“It really is meaningless~ After all…”
Kefir and I looked towards Uncle Zerola, who was getting up, “Are there still things we don’t know? Is there anyone who can stop us? Our ‘conflict’ is just this kind of game, with no right or wrong, no Winning or losing, and no living being can stop the ‘different orders’ in our hearts.”
It’s useless to nag, Kefir, I need to continue to “change.”
I ignored Zerola and intended to let the “ceasefire” negotiations continue, but…
Zerola, who had gotten up, showed no signs of “fear” or “retreat.” He seemed to have other preparations.
“Kid, don’t think that just because you know some strange magic, you can act recklessly! Do you really think I brought this many people just to stop you?”
He revealed a smile of turning the tables, “The elves’ people, the orcs’ people, I have people to talk to them all! You, a dangerous person running around and stirring up trouble among the nations, still want to… “
“Still want to cover the sky with one hand? Right, Uncle.”
I sighed, “If only your persistence could be used in a more suitable place. Clearly, I prepared such a good home for you, clearly considering your safety. Uncle, why do you always refuse this perfect arrangement of ‘order’?”
“Stop spouting nonsense, you charlatan.”
“I clearly have no intention of doing anything to you, and this ‘era’ is changing according to my original plan. Uncle, could you please not interfere?”
Because this is just as annoying as a mosquito buzzing in my ear, gradually wearing down my patience. Even though I was originally a pacifist who wouldn’t kill a mosquito, I still couldn’t help… but slap it dead.
Your disruption is hardly worth mentioning; it’s just that I, unlike the Order Fairy, am magnanimous and don’t want to engage. But this… does not mean you can repeatedly interfere with my important plans.
You, a humble being.
“Your little plan will not succeed. Although I can prevent it from succeeding, I think it’s better to make you understand in a more straightforward way.”
As I spoke, I stepped back, and for a moment, a dark current surged between me and the uncle, a black mist enveloping us.
“After all… only ordinary methods can help beings like you understand.”
In the next moment, the ceiling of the hall crashed open! A figure, dragging two massive green swords, smashed down towards Zerola.

The new book is expected to be released around the 5th or 6th, coinciding with the winter writing contest.
At that time, there will be some small activities for the new book, but they won’t conflict with the old book, so everyone can still support the old book with monthly votes; there will be plenty of activities in the last month for the old book.
Notifications will be sent out when the new book is released, and I hope everyone can support it then, as this is my means of livelihood. Thank you.
Some illustrations, color inserts, and prizes for the new book are indeed prepared, so please support it when the time comes, and the activities will be posted after the book is released.
