Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Nieve sighed as she left the “wall-climbing human containment zone” and rushed back to the castle while looking exhausted. She had to quickly report how things were going out there to the Queen, while she was sure she was busy, Nieve never expected her Queen to be in such a state whatsoever.

She looked utterly exhausted, with bags beneath her beautiful eyes, her face looked slightly older for some reason, and the color of her clothes, wings, and hair had become whiter or grayer, as if her radiance was drained out of her.

“Queen Titania…? A-Are you alright?!”

Nieve flew towards Titania, who quickly looked back at her while drinking a Mana Potion using a wooden straw.

“I-I’m fine, Nieve. Everything is… everything is alright…” Titania muttered. “I am so… so fine.”

“No you’re not fine at all!” Nieve cried. “Why do you look so exhausted, your majesty? Your Mana is being constantly drained…!”

“I am… building houses for them all, it takes so much Mana to do this… fully concentrating, my head hurts a bit,” Titania sighed, as she was actually conjuring a tremendous magic spell within the city, huge trees were surging endlessly, merging, and shaping into houses with many rooms inside. “I am… halfway done! Another… five hundred thousand… left. Ugh…”

“Y-You’ve done an amazing job already, please rest until tomorrow!” Nieve said. “No more of this, okay? Please, your majesty!”

“A-Ahah… But… the humans…!” Titania cried. “I don’t want them to be upset… Poor little humans lost everything…”

“Yes I know, but they’re very selfish as well, you shouldn’t sacrifice so much of yourself for them,” Nieve said angrily. “Tomorrow or even past tomorrow we can continue working. Perhaps when Planta finally returns.”

“Ugh… But humans… No, don’t’ say that Nieve… Humans are precious too, they’re the children of Yggdrasil and Gaia… Despite our differences, we can… we can be friends…” Titania muttered. “Luminous…”

“Your majesty…?” Nieve wondered, as she suddenly saw Titania slowly close her eyes and fall asleep. “Oh… Oh well, this is for the better.”

She quickly carried the queen with her Aura, slowly and gently placing her over her bed, covering her with her pink bed sheets and sighing.

“Please rest well for now, okay? You’ve worked hard enough…”

Nieve caressed the queen’s forehead before she left, quickly assessing the situation in the castle, where she finally met with an exhausted sister, Florie.

“Florie, you’re tired too?”

“Ugh… Big sis? Ah… Hm. A bit. Working for the humans is tiring…”

“What have you been doing?”

Nieve sat down in front of her sister in the huge cafeteria area of the castle, serving herself a plate of fried vegetables with grilled fish, and a small fruit salad as dessert.

“I’ve been trying to calm the mob of humans using my abilities, it seems I’ve managed to calm down half of them. My magic can infuse Love and Hope into people,” explained Florie. “But… Aaah, I’ve already used the same power like a thousand times, sister… I’m tired.”

“T-That’s more than enough for now… You should also rest! We can’t simply rush things, the humans are very impatient beings. Perhaps because they don’t live as long as we do, they’re always so impatient and cannot even sit down and wait,” Nieve sighed.

“Hmm, if only Planta was here…” Florie sighed. “If she was, things would be easier…”

“We can’t rely on her for everything, Florie,” Nieve said. “She has done enough, if we become so dependent, then what will become of our entire Queendom? To rely on a single person to do everything means we are no different from newborn children.”

“R-Right…” Florie yawned. “I guess I’ll go sleep for now… Ah right! I-Is the Queen okay?”

“She’s sleeping by now,” Nieve said. “Don’t disturb her, okay?”

“Ah, yeah… I’ll go take a nap too then,” Florie nodded. “And… Ah, well, the Mushroom Brigade are still working hard to provide with necessities to the humans, most of them are cooking and hunting beasts to provide them with all the food they need, which is a lot. Also because they demand meat so much, we can’t really please their stomachs with our nuts, veggies, or fruits…”

“It’s complicated, yes,” Nieve nodded. “I suppose I’ll continue working for a while. Have you known anything about the other races?”

“Acorn and several volunteered Squirrel-kin gathered to help out the humans accommodate, although they’re receiving a lot of discrimination from them,” sighed Florie. “Humans are so nasty sometimes, talking badly of the humble Squirrel-kin! Gnomes and Brownies are also helping on hunting for meat and also on making a lot of bread and soup to feed the population. That we have to make whole different foods for them is quite the pain.”

“I suppose I have to agree with that,” Nieve nodded with a sigh. “And the Druids?”

“Most of them are moving between their Realm, the Fey Wilds, Luminous and the Forest,” Florie explained. “They’re bringing any help they can, but their group is rather small, so they can only do so much on their own. A squad was sent to protect Luminous Kingdom for now though, as orders from Lady Verdant herself.”

“That’s good then,” nodded Nieve. “Well, we’ve got a lot of friends, it isn’t just us Fairies anymore, so I am sure we’ll be able to get somewhere. Lady Planta’s City population is also helping right?”

“Yeah, the population is already here, they’re working hard…” nodded Florie. “They’re providing more “familiar” foods to the humans, such as potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, rice, and so on from her farms, which expand through hundreds of kilometers. At least we’re not lacking on this necessary food, though their demand for meat and bread even when given a lot of food is still exhausting. Why are humans so obsessed with these two foods? They don’t really need it to live. Veggies and fruits are more than enough to fill the belly!”

“I know…” Nieve sighed. “Is Erebus working too?”

“Yes, he’s been working hard containing the humans…” Florie muttered. “And not doing a very great job though, he mostly just scares them.”

“Hah… That’s better than nothing, honestly.” Nieve sighed, finishing her meal. “Well, I’ll get going. I might work for a couple more hours myself before going to bed, rest well sister.”

“Okay, take care Nieve…!” Florie said, as she saw her big sister fly away. “Hah, you’re such a hard worker…”
