Simultaneously transmigrating, I, with my extraordinary talent, relied entirely on myself.

Upon arriving in the living room, Yalin yanked the useless elf's unruly hands off his waist, then tossed him onto the sofa, saying irritably, "Don't pretend to be drunk."

As an elf, especially one in its prime, alcohol has no effect unless the elf does so intentionally.

Therefore, incidents of promiscuity or other scandalous events caused by alcohol consumption are theoretically impossible.

"Xiao Ya, you really have no sense of romance." Er Ya opened her eyes, a playful smile appearing on her flushed face.

"So, what's on your mind?"

Yalin remained unmoved by the charm emanating from the useless elf and asked in a flat tone.

Although Erya was exceptionally alluring when slightly tipsy compared to usual, Yalin couldn't help but sigh when he thought about her personality.

Being too familiar with someone can also have its downsides.

"Of course, it's about mediating the relationships among the elves. As the liaison between these girls, doesn't Xiaoya feel that she's been too busy with her external work and neglected this aspect?"

Erya stood up, tapped Yalin's forehead, and said earnestly.

"Although they are all kind-hearted girls, it is not acceptable to completely ignore them. The 'idle play' and the 'jealousy play' should be done in moderation."

Now that you've brought them together, you still need to take on the corresponding responsibilities.

Yalin seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Although the gathering of elves was initially for the sake of the neighboring world, by this point he was also the guardian of many elves, and indeed he had to consider this aspect of the matter.

Even family members have conflicts, let alone the elves who were originally strangers.

However, he hadn't neglected the elves, especially Nia, that kind-hearted but useless elf, so there was no way anything would go wrong in that regard.

As Yalin pondered, Erya had already changed into a half-transparent nun's robe, which gave her a more sacred and ethereal air.

Erya's fingertips slid down Yalin's forehead to his lips, and she asked curiously, "Xiaoya, how far have things progressed between you and San San lately?"

"Why are you asking this?" Yalin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Of course I'm curious to see how much San San has improved your skills?" Niya said without any hesitation, her eyes full of mischief.

No, is it appropriate to discuss this?

"I guess it's not the final step yet. After all, Xiaoya, you and San San haven't officially announced your relationship."

Yalin couldn't hold back any longer and changed the subject, saying, "You're concerned about the progress in this area? Perhaps you're stuck on the plot?"

“That’s true, I need some inspiration about romance.” Nia’s pupils shifted, and she readily admitted it, then said matter-of-factly.

"As my assistant, Xiaoya, you should provide me with assistance."

It can't be said that Tokisaki Kurumi's progress was too fast, exceeding her expectations, and therefore she hurriedly created opportunities for herself.

Yalin stared into Honjo Nia's emerald eyes and couldn't help but tap her on the head.

When did even a useless elf become so dishonest?

Her personality hasn't changed much in the past six months.

"So, Mr. Honjo, what are you going to do next?" Yalin asked, both amused and exasperated.

"Of course—follow the comic book."

Upon hearing this, Niya's eyes lit up. She pulled out a bunch of comic books from somewhere, opened one of them, and looked at the intimate scene between the male and female protagonists with great anticipation.

.....

"Tsk, I've been taken advantage of by this useless elf."

When Honjo Nia left satisfied, Yalin wiped the marks from the corners of his mouth, neck, and shoulders, his expression turning strange.

Despite the fact that the useless elf's appearance could be described as that of a beautiful girl, he always felt that he was the one who was at a disadvantage.

During the kissing and caressing, Nia's skill level quickly increased, and she eventually took the initiative, trying out various ambiguous positions based on the comics.

Yalin strongly suspected that the other party was using him to gain experience points.

Cartoonists are terrifying.

On the rooftop, Erya returned to the soon-to-be-ending party with a bright smile to wrap things up.

It must be said that the knowledge gained from reading comics is very different from personal experience, and Nia feels that her plot ideas in related aspects will far surpass those of the past.

......

Fraxinus, Kotori Itsuka, sat in the commander's office, resting her chin on one hand and casually handling daily chores.

As for the elites gathered for Itsuka Shiori's mission to conquer the spirits, they all returned to their original jobs and resumed their duties.

Unfortunately, most of the spirits in the present world have been taken away and settled by DEM, so there's no need for Kotori Itsuka to do anything extra.

In reality, even if she wanted to intervene, she was powerless to do so.

The Gadia of Allen is currently positioned above Sky Palace City, facing Fraxinus across the distance, the implication of surveillance and warning is self-evident.

If Fraxinus makes any rash moves, he may face a fierce and devastating attack from the enemy.

Although she was confident that Ratatosk's airships would not be weaker than the enemy's, DEM was wealthy and powerful, and in addition to this flagship, there were dozens of airships near the branch.

If a real fight breaks out, it would be a success if Fraxinus isn't immediately destroyed.

Yarin also inherited the style of DEM before him and was not friendly to Ratatosk.

Sigh, I have a feeling that if things continue like this, my time as commander is coming to an end.

After all, the entire Ratatosk was built around the sister, with the aim of sealing and protecting the elves and coexisting with humans.

The organization's work has now been replaced by higher-ups, and its space for activity has been constantly compressed. It can no longer conduct detailed surveillance of Tengu City as it did in the past, and it only has a general understanding of the Pokémon's whereabouts.

The foundation of Fraxinus's existence is currently quite weak.

Kotori Itsuka muttered to herself, but she didn't harbor much resentment towards Arin.

Rather than forcing her sister to go and seal the spirits, which could lead to all sorts of dangers, it's better to do it.

Isn't our daily life pretty good?

My older sister was able to let go of her responsibilities and become a normal high school student.

In that respect, she should be grateful to Yalin.

However, the fact that DEM has gathered so many spirits gives Kotori Itsuka a strange sense of déjà vu.

If this trend continues, and her identity is exposed, she will likely be taken into DEM's apartment, which is not the outcome Kotori Itsuka wants.

"Commander Itsuki, headquarters requests communications..."

As Kotori Itsuka pondered whether to leave work early, a window popped up on her desktop screen along with a reminder from the operator.

"Is something wrong?" Kotori Itsuka stopped her slacking off and wondered to herself.

All messages from headquarters are transmitted via the highest-level secret lines to prevent leaks.

When Elliott and Karen appeared on the screen, Kotori Itsuka's expression turned serious.

"It's been a long time, Lord Woodman and Miss Karen."

She still holds this founder and benefactor in high esteem.

“There’s no need to be so serious. Now is not the time for a roundtable discussion,” Elliott said with a gentle smile.

As magicians who grew up in England, both he and Isaac were interested in the story of King Arthur, which influenced their naming to some extent.

"I've called you here today to learn about Yalin and to inform Fraxinus to prepare for a conflict with DEM."

Eliot's words made Kotori Itsuka's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Lord Woodman, what is the reason?"

How could such a fierce conflict arise between the two organizations for no apparent reason?

Although DEM has indeed squeezed Ratatoskr's room for maneuver during this period, it has only been pressing hard on the elves, while maintaining a tacit understanding in other aspects.

In this situation, it would be unwise to oppose DEM.

“Commander of the Five Rivers, that Yarin’s goal is to destroy the first spirit to be born,” Elliot said with a sigh.

"The first spirit?"

Kotori Itsuka muttered something to herself, her thoughts suddenly becoming clear, but her expression turned complicated.

It is said that the founder was fond of the first elf, and that's why he created the organization.

Yalin's current actions are indeed inconsistent with Ratatosk's principles.

However, despite being able to take in so many elves, he harbored a desire to destroy the Primal Elves.

Is there some misunderstanding involved?

Kotori Itsuka thought this to herself, but she still agreed.

Perhaps she could ask Yalin for confirmation of the answer herself?

Even though they hadn't spent much time together, it was enough for Kotori Itsuka to know what kind of person Ayrin was.

.....

Lai Chan Middle School, Principal's Office.

Yalin looked thoughtfully at Itsuka Shiori, who had been invited.

The probing gaze made the girl feel extremely uncomfortable, as if her whole being was being seen through.

"Lin, is there something you wanted to see me about?" Itsuka Shiori asked quickly, breaking the awkward silence between them.

"It's just meeting up with an old classmate for tea," Yalin said with a smile.

Allen, the assistant, poured tea for the two of them and then stood to one side.

Shiori Itsuka picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and gave Ayrin a troubled smile, clearly not believing his words.

"Alright, actually I'm curious about your cooking skills and hope to try it myself."

Yalin spoke in a half-truthful manner.

He needed to find a suitable reason to go to the Itsuka family home, meet with Itsuka Kotori, and make his younger sister fulfill the promise she made years ago.

"Huh?" Itsuka Shiori was surprised and somewhat flattered upon hearing this.

Is her cooking really that appealing?
