Chapter 99 The Argument Between Fairies
Indeed, there's nothing surprising about that.
At least in the logic of fairies, it's not worth mentioning at all.
After all, the Norse people's social interactions have nothing to do with the fairies. Even if they mess things up and summon unspeakable veiled creatures, the fairies can easily avoid danger by hiding in the Fairy House. Why should they worry about those Norse people?
As for the fate of the Norse—
What does this have to do with fairies?
But in Snowball's mind, Zag was no insignificant Norseman.
Moreover, it knew that Zag was very concerned about that "cult" called the "Life Transformation Association".
Yes, in fact, the fairies don't have the concept of "cult" at all. It's just a definition created by the Northrends to promote the Nine Holy Spirits and suppress other organizations that believe in anything other than the Nine Holy Spirits. Unless the organization has a powerful backer—such as the Kingdom of Lunaran, the Kingdom of Quen, or the Kingdom of Friggia in the North—the beliefs promoted by these countries and regions can barely be called "heresy." Although they are also suppressed, they dare not openly target them.
All other beliefs are considered "cults".
However, in the eyes of the fairies, both the "righteous god faith" of the Nine Holy Spirits and the "evil god faith" which is not officially recognized by the Eternal Supreme Kingdom are the same thing—except for their mother goddess, Agora.
If it were the old Xueqiu, he wouldn't care about these things at all, but now, in Xueqiu's heart, all the information about the "Life Transformation Association" is also very important!
Because Zag cares a lot!
So it said, "Originally, it wouldn't have been a problem, but I heard that the 'Life Transformation Association' worships a 'demon god' they created themselves. This is simply courting death! I'm worried they'll drag the entire Eastern Territory down with them!"
After saying that, it deliberately added, as if trying to cover up its mistake, "I haven't had enough of Mrs. Marsh's creamy fish paste bread yet!"
Sanhua had just taken a big bite of the creamy fish paste bread filling, getting cream all over her beard, and felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She whispered, "It really is quite delicious."
The white cat had already taken several bites of its creamy fishbread. Since it was being fed, it pretended to be busy, glancing around before replying, "It should... it should be fine... I guess. They're just using each other anyway, and I overheard them saying they forbade the 'Life Transformation Association' from conducting any experiments in East Port, so it should be okay... They definitely won't cause something like the veiled creatures descending on Margarita Island, right?"
Seeing Snowball's excessive focus on the Life Transformation Association, Sanhua spoke up for the white cat: "It's always been with Viscount Cecilius's third wife's daughter, so it probably doesn't know much about the matter."
Snowball asked, "Doesn't Viscount Cecilius's daughter live with him?"
The white cat replied, "She usually goes to the church school, Meretra's church school, and only goes home on weekends. However, Ruili and the Viscount's new wife don't get along well, so every time she comes home, it's chaos... But I can tell that the Viscount's attitude towards that woman isn't very good either; they don't even sleep together! And last week, that fierce woman from the association brought a group of people and ransacked Ruili's house. The Viscount took his wife to stay at the country estate for the weekend, and they haven't come back since!"
Sanhua added, "Ruili is Viscount Cecilius's second daughter, born to his third wife. To be honest, she's been quite good to us; I often go over to get free meals. But... she's a Norse after all!"
Snowball immediately said, "You've come here to see me, Zag is definitely better than Ruili!"
White Cat immediately retorted, "Impossible! Ruili bought us so many 'houses'! All kinds!"
Snowball scoffed, "That's a cat bed! I have my own room! Who would sleep in a place like a cat bed? Besides, I even have a down mattress that Mrs. Marsh sewed especially for me!"
The white cat resolutely defended "Ruili's" status: "Ruili will specially buy fish for us!"
Snowball retorted, "I can eat as much as I want! I can even have Zag go out and buy it for me! A whole basketful, please!"
As the argument raged on, Mrs. Marsh, sitting on the sofa by the large window in the dining room, finally couldn't hold back any longer. "They've been meowing for ages," she said with a worried expression. "Aren't they going to start fighting?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Herford, who was lying sullenly at her feet, and instructed, "If they really fight, you have to help him. There are two of them! Honestly, he ate my creamy fish paste bread, how can he still be so fierce to Snowball!"
Helford raised his head, glanced hesitantly at Mrs. Marsh who was nervously looking out the window at the garden, and then chose to remain silent and slump down again.
He figured that even if Snowball was childish, he certainly wouldn't get into a fight with other fairies over whether Zag was better...
No wonder!
"Meow!"
"Aww—"
Soon, two sharp meows came from outside the window, and Mrs. Marsh stood up abruptly, staring intently out the window.
Helford then sat up, wearing a comical printed vest, and looked out the window. He saw that it was a snowball that had hit the person, so he lay back down.
That's right, Snowball punched the white cat with a meow punch, and the latter looked at Snowball in shock: "Are you crazy! You hit me for a dragonborn!?"
Snowball glared at the white cat and shouted, "No way! Because you're a traitor! You actually spoke well of the Northrends! Meow!"
The white cat retorted angrily, "Didn't you also keep saying that Marsh is so wonderful, so good?!"
Snowball looked around guiltily, her voice unconsciously softening: "That's only because her bread is delicious!"
The white cat was so angry its fur stood on end: "Hypocrite! You're just as hypocritical as those Northers now!"
"Alright, alright, we're all fairies, why are we talking about the Norse?"
Sanhua squeezed herself between the two fairies, first offering a word of advice, and then specifically telling Xueqiu, "If you really care that much about that 'Life Transformation Association,' then have Xiaobai keep an eye out for you. Anyway, it sees the Viscount and the others every weekend, so it'll always have a chance to gather information."
This is an implication that if Snowball wants to know more about the Cecilius family and the Life Transformation Association, she should be more polite to White Cat, since White Cat is the one with the easiest access to this information.
Snowball listened intently. It tilted its head slightly, then used its paw to nudge the creamy fishbread that the white cat had only nibbled on towards the other cat, saying, "I'm a little agitated, after all, you know what the Norse people did to us back then, so... well, anyway, let's eat the bread first, it won't taste good when it's cold."
It was barely an apology. The white cat didn't want to bother with it, but Sanhua glared at it, so it had no choice but to give Sanhua face and go along with it: "Okay, thank you for the little bread."
But after saying that, it raised its head and added, "But Ruili had her chef make an even better grilled fish pie for us!"

[Snowball's Commentary]: Zag isn't a Norse, so he's definitely a million times stronger than a Norse! Absolutely!
