Everyone wanted to survive.

And not just me, but all heroes in Pick Me Up.

[……]

I turned my back.

Just doing what needs to be done.

‘I did spare them.’

Those who didn’t resist, I had spared.

This time more thoroughly. Not leaving even a little base for recovery.

[Sob…]

“Sigh.”

I stopped in my tracks.

“Hey.”

[What! Just go away!]

“What happens to the master if you’re not around?”

[What are you talking about?]

“If you disappear, how will the waiting room operate? I’m asking if it will function properly.”

The fairy’s eyes widened in confusion.

It was a look of not understanding what I meant.

Iselle hesitated, then spoke.

[If I’m not there… it probably won’t work well.]

“Really?”

The fairy was responsible for relaying and executing the master’s commands.

If they disappeared, it would undoubtedly cause significant operational issues. I once asked Yurnet back in Niflheimr. I asked if it would work properly without a fairy. The answer I got was,

‘It’s possible in Niflheimr. I can be the fairy’s substitute for that.’

“Hmm.”

[But we can’t leave our assigned places. Stop talking nonsense and just go.]

I rested my chin on my hand.

“Yurnet.”

<I’m here.>

“Is Iselle still sightseeing over there?”

<She occasionally sends news with Seris, but she’s mostly absent.>

Yurnet continued after a brief pause.

<Your guess might be the right one.>

“The likelihood?”

<Of course, it’s possible.>

I pondered this.

I weighed the pros and cons.

[Who are you talking to?]

I glanced briefly at the fairy.

Tears had dried on her chubby cheeks.

<Based on my analysis, the operational efficiency of a waiting room without a fairy decreases by an average of 87%.>

‘There were users like that sometimes.’

Commands are given but not followed, and the screen constantly stutters.

Unable to even issue basic instructions, let alone missions.

Typically known as bug accounts.

“Hey.”

[What?]

“Come to Niflheimr. There’s a spot open.”

The fairy looked at me with wide eyes, then suddenly burst into anger.

[Stop joking around!]

“Like it or not?”

[It’s not about liking or disliking, it’s impossible! If I leave my assigned place, the head office’s management team will come to kill me! Men in black suits with black brooches, powerful ones, they’ll… come for me…]

The space beside me bent, and black brooches clattered to the ground.

<If you’re worried about the head office’s management team, there were about 13 of them; it’s handled, so no worries.>

The fairy’s eyes bulged.

She hurriedly collected the brooches.

[Where did you get these?]

“There’s no easy way out.”

Like it or not.

The decision was made.

“It’ll take some time to bring you there.”

The distance from Niflheimr to here was quite significant.

Considering the measures to take during that time…

Suddenly, the surroundings darkened.

I stepped out of the control room and looked up.

The sky had turned black.

‘……’

I scanned the sky again.

A giant mountain was covering the sky.

I sighed.

[What in the world is this…]

Height 448m.

Niflheimr’s airship, Brynhildr01.

“You never listen.”

<I couldn’t calm down thinking an accident might happen…>

“What is that thing! A monster!”

People huddled in a corner of the deck, trembling.

It was too massive to be considered an airship at first glance.

“How many did you bring?”

<Only Nisled and me.>

“That’s good. Open the gate.”

Creaking.

Like a demon’s mouth opening, the bottom split apart.

A black hole gaped open.

“Save us!”

“General! General!”

I ignored the panicking crowd and approached the fairy.

The distance to the passage was closing.

[Could it be…]

The fairy’s eyes caught the airship emblem.

The symbol of Niflheimr.

[You, you are, you, you, yooouu!]

I grabbed the fairy’s wing with one hand.

[Loki!]

And threw her into the airship.

Brynhildr01 swallowed Iselle, then closed the passage and began to ascend slowly.

“From now on, you guys go into the waiting room. Weed out the useful ones. Exclude those who participated in the looting. Leave no trace. It’s a hassle otherwise.”

<As you command.>

“Can you manipulate this battle’s data?”

<It seems feasible using the fairy. She is still currently under Harla’s control. I’ll make her.>

“Do it if possible, otherwise leave it.”

Brynhildr01 began moving towards the tower.

“Is that giant monster the General’s…”

“Goodness, General!”

“The greatest hero of all time…”

‘Stop it, I won’t take you.’

I smiled and moved on.

After retrieving the fuel tank, I’ll return to Capitalism.

The mission is now completed. I had prepared a few excuses.

Crack.

The formless Gungnir returned to its original place.

The first use. Now only two more weapon summoning opportunities remained.
