"Nightmare, why are you here?"
Kotori asked coldly with a frown on her beautiful face.
Even Ratatoskr, who advocated for a peaceful solution to the Elves' problems, maintained a high level of vigilance when facing Kurumi.
"Ah, can't you tell, little sister?"
Maid Three gently lifted her long skirt and spun around.
The white lace hem of the dress was lifted, almost revealing the secret view under the dress.
"I'm a waitress here now."
As if she found something interesting, Kurumi squinted her eyes and looked at Yakumo, who was walking over from the side.
"I can't help it, I met a black-hearted boss. I'm so pitiful, so pitiful!"
"Bam!"
"Meow-!"
Eight-cloud Ink knocked on Maid 3's head and looked at Kotori and Rein.
"Welcome to 'Chocolate and Vanilla', what would you like to order?"
Kotori and Rein took the menu from Eight-cloud Ink and ordered two servings of juice.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kotori Itsuka."
"Murasame Rein."
It was a very simple introduction, but it also revealed that the two people in front of him were not ordinary guests.
"Itsuka … Kotori? Itsuka? "
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the beautiful girl with flame-like twin ponytails.
She had an aura that didn't belong to a human.
She was an elf.
However, the elf aura in Kotori's body was very stable and didn't show any signs of activity.
"Your surname is Itsuka, so you're Itsuka Shido's relative? You look like … a younger sister, right? But why don't you two look alike? "
"Shido is the adopted son of Itsuka's family-"
Kotori wasn't surprised that Eight-cloud Ink was able to deduce her relationship with Shido so quickly.
"A few days ago, my stupid brother did something rude, and I apologize to you."
Although she was apologizing, Kotori hid her arrogance well. However, it wasn't directed at Eight-cloud Ink; it was natural.
Kotori took out a pearl from her waist pocket, tore open its packaging, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"I am the commander of the elven organization Ratatoskr, and this Murasame Rein is my analyst."
“Ratatoskr？”
It was the first time he heard this name. Eight-cloud Ink repeated it and laughed.
"You guys aren't on the same side as the troops that attacked us for no reason, right?"
"Of course not."
Kotori shook her head.
"Let me explain."
Murasame Rein on the side took over the conversation.
"I'm sure you're aware that the appearance of the elves will trigger a Spacetime Quake. Humans have two attitudes towards the elves. One is to kill them, which is led by AST."
"In addition, we, the Ratatoskr, advocate a peaceful solution to the elven problem."
Hearing Ling Yin's words, Kuang San, who had been quietly helping Ashina, had a strange expression in her eyes.
"Shido, who came into contact with you that day, is the core of our operation. Shido has the ability to seal the elves' spiritual power so that they will no longer trigger a Spacetime Quake. As long as we get along with the elves, we can increase the favorability between them. Finally, we can seal the elves' power through mucous membrane contact. "
"Ha …"
Eight-cloud Ink couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"… I really don't know what to say about this ability."
"Let's not talk about Shido for now."
Kotori bit the pearl while looking at Eight-cloud Ink.
"Yakumo, can I call you that?"
"As you wish."
"Well, that's good. Yakumo, you and that one (pointed to Ashina behind the counter) caused a disturbance when you appeared in this world has obviously attracted the attention of AST. They will definitely deal with you as elves. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict, can you answer a few of my questions? "
Although Eight-cloud Ink didn't care about the so-called hostility of AST, it was just a group of girls who were more suitable to act cute, but Eight-cloud Ink still nodded.
At the very least, Kotori gave Yakumo a much better impression of her than Wescott.
So, you see, there are some things that really depend on one's looks, right?
"First of all, you … are indeed a monster from Fantasyland, right?"
Kotori threw out the first question.
Eight-cloud Ink nodded. "Do you want me to remove you from the gap to prove it?"
"No, no, no …"
As if she thought of something terrible, Kotori shook her head again and again, and her face became pale.
"Please don't do that!"
"Unbelievable …"
On the other side, Ling Yin tilted her head slightly as if she would fall to the ground at any time.
"… I didn't expect that Fantasyland really exists."
"Well, it's just the interference of information between different worlds, which caused the relevant information of our world to appear here. Speaking of which, is Murasame Ling Yin okay? Why do I feel like you haven't slept for a long time? Do you need me to provide a room for you to rest? "
"Although I appreciate it, it's not necessary."
Ling Yin shook her head and refused.
"I suffer from severe insomnia, and I haven't slept well for 30 years …"
30 years …!
The Ling Yin in front of her looked like a mature woman in her twenties.
Although Eight-cloud Ink was used to seeing people who were very old but had always maintained a youthful appearance.
— Let's not talk about other things, didn't we have an older sister who was 17 years old 17 years ago and would still be 17 years old 17 years later?
But this Murasame Ling Yin in front of her was obviously an ordinary human. If that was the case …
[Hmm? There seems to be something wrong …]
After carefully observing Ling Yin for the first time, Eight-cloud Ink finally found a trace of strangeness.
The female named Murasame Ling Yin in front of her … seemed to be different from normal humans.
Her life activity had been maintained at an extremely low state.
As if … she was deliberately avoiding intense consumption.
[Well, what does this have to do with me?]
After shaking her head and throwing these thoughts out of her mind, Eight-cloud Ink looked at Kotori again.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"Of course!"
Kotori bit her pearl and threw out the second question.
"Since you're not elves, why do you cause spacetime quakes when you appear in this world?"
Eight-cloud Ink immediately laughed.
"You seem to have made a mistake. It's not that elves cause spacetime quakes —"
Eight-cloud Ink raised a finger and looked at Kotori, who seemed to be confused.
"— Instead, whenever an existence that doesn't belong to this world appears, it will cause spacetime quakes. In other words, spacetime quakes have nothing to do with elves or not. "
"What!?"
Kotori's eyes widened as she looked at Eight-cloud Ink.
On the other side, Kurumi almost knocked over the plate in her hand.
Spacetime quakes have nothing to do with elves or not?
"Isn't it? I'm a demon, not an elf, but my appearance in this world still causes spacetime quakes, right? "
"However, perhaps only elves appeared in this world before, which gave you the illusion that only elves can cause spacetime quakes."
"And —"
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly dragged out her words.
"And what?" Kotori asked impatiently.
"I've been to many other worlds, and I didn't cause spacetime quakes. It only happened when I came to this world."
Eight-cloud Ink looked at Kotori with a smile.
"Do you understand?"
"Huh? Understand what? "
Kotori was confused.
"I think I understand." Ling Yin suddenly said, "The root cause of spacetime quakes is our world, right?"
"That's right!"
Eight-cloud Ink snapped her fingers.
"Previously, an elf appeared in Fantasy Village, but it didn't cause spacetime quakes. That's another piece of evidence. "
Hearing Eight-cloud Ink's words, Kotori and Ling Yin looked at each other and thought of Hermit, who mysteriously disappeared while being chased by AST.
