The wind blew, and the leaves rustled.
The sky suddenly darkened.
Ashina put down the tea leaves in her hand, walked to the side, and turned on the chandelier in the room.
Eight-cloud Ink sat across from Kotori and Rein and quietly looked outside the window.
"Clouds in the sky … it's going to rain."
"Strange …" Kotori frowned. "The weather forecast didn't say it was going to rain today."
"How can everything in the world be predicted so clearly?"
With a faint smile, Eight-cloud Ink gently poured the tea on the table.
The tea was still warm.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this."
Kotori shook her head and turned her gaze back to Eight-cloud Ink.
"Yakumo, you said that the real cause of the spacetime quake is the world's fault, are you sure about this?"
"It's the world's fault …?"
Eight-cloud Ink couldn't help but laugh.
"That's an interesting way of putting it, but that's just my opinion, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
"Squeak —"
Kotori crushed the pearl in her mouth and rolled her eyes.
"— Whether it's true or not is very important to us."
"I know that." Eight-cloud Ink nodded and slowly sipped the tea. "When Ashina and I were about to appear in this world, we were indeed greatly rejected. That rejection came from your world itself, and although it wasn't enough to stop us from entering, it was enough to cause a spacetime quake."
"— Also."
Eight-cloud Ink slowly raised her right hand.
"Also?" Kotori and Rein looked at Eight-cloud Ink in confusion.
The coffee shop suddenly became extremely oppressive.
A distorted dot of light appeared on Eight-cloud Ink's palm.
The pressure from the dot of light almost made Kurumi turn into a fairy and summon her spiritual equipment.
The space around them seemed to be distorted.
It was a visual phenomenon caused by the extreme concentration of demon power.
Then —
* Woo woo woo woo woo … *
The shrill spacetime quake alarm suddenly sounded.
"What!?"
Kotori slammed her hands on the table and stood up.
Eight-cloud Ink chuckled and dispersed the power in her hand, and the spacetime quake alarm also disappeared.
"Do you understand? For people like us who don't belong to this world, once we erupt with power that exceeds a certain threshold, it will trigger the space quake again. "
Glancing at Kuangsan who was not far away, he said, "Maid San over there, you can do it easily too, right?"
"Pa Ji", Kurumi, who was called Maid Three by Eight-cloud Ink, had a big "#" on her forehead.
Then, with a smile, Maid Three floated to Eight-cloud Ink and leaned against it in front of Ashina, Kotori, and the others.
"Of course I can do it! Boss, do you want to see it? "
The rumored cruel and dangerous Nightmare actually looked like this?
Kotori felt that it was necessary for her to send someone to investigate this Elf.
On the other side, Ashina rolled her eyes at Eight-cloud Ink.
Aistel gently bit her pink and alluring lips. She tilted her head and the hostility in her eyes intensified.
"Don't mess around."
Eight-cloud Ink didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted Kurumi's hands off her shoulders.
At this moment —
Patter, patter …
The sky darkened, and it was raining outside.
The Seventh Street was a relatively old garden district.
As the rain fell, the air was filled with the fragrance of the earth.
The wind blew into the coffee shop through the open window, and Eight-cloud Ink's long hair fluttered in the wind.
Kotori and the others were a bit dazed. Even Kurumi was dazed for a moment.
"The west wind bothers me …"
Holding the teacup with both hands, Eight-cloud Ink closed her eyes.
"Commander Five Rivers, do you have any other questions?"
Kotori couldn't react to the sudden change in address.
However, Kotori was still in her commander mode. Although she wasn't as sharp-tongued as her brother Shido, she was still a swift and decisive person. Soon, she came back to her senses.
"Last question. Is the missing elf, Hermit, in … Fantasy Land?"
With Kotori's question, Eight-cloud Ink clearly felt Kurumi's body stiffen.
Obviously, this elf girl was also very concerned about this question.
"The Hermit you've been talking about is a little girl wearing a green bunny-eared hood, right?"
"That's her! The elf's identification name is Hermit! "
Kurumi curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
Eight-cloud Ink chuckled.
"In the future, try not to use identification names. Elves also have their own names. That little girl is called Yoshino."
Yoshino had now integrated into the Red Devil Mansion.
Although Remilia always pretended to be dignified, she was actually a very easy person to get along with.
At the same time, she was an extremely protective vampire lady.
From the moment Yoshino became her familiar, although she was dissatisfied that Yoshino could only act cute and couldn't "set off her dignity", she still treated Yoshino as one of her own.
Therefore, Yoshino's life in the Red Devil Mansion was very good. Together with Fran, she joined Yui's team of naughty children in Fantasy Utopia. Under the leadership of Marisa, they went around scourging others.
— — This was also the reason why the little girl didn't want to return to this world with Eight-cloud Ink.
"Not only is she in Fantasy Utopia, but she's also living very well. Since you've investigated me and Ashina, you should know about the Red Devil Mansion. "
"Of course."
Kotori nodded.
"Could it be … Hermit, ah no, Yoshino, Yoshino is living in the Red Devil Mansion now?"
"Yes, she's getting along very well with the Red Devil Mansion's young lady, and she doesn't plan to appear in this world again. Do you have any other questions? "
"No, thank you for your cooperation, Yakumo. We'll take care of some of the aftermath and ensure that AST won't trouble you. The power of Ratatoskr isn't as simple as it seems!"
Kotori said with some pride.
"That's for the best —"
Eight-cloud Ink nodded.
"I don't want to kill people for no reason, even if I'm a monster."
⑧
Kotori and Ling Yin left.
But the rain was still falling.
"This is the first rain we've encountered in this world …"
Eight-cloud Ink held an umbrella and stood on the steps in front of the coffee shop.
The moss on the steps hadn't softened yet.
Ashina leaned against Eight-cloud Ink and spoke softly.
"The color of light grass, the color of tangerine pear blossoms, and the leaves are green. It's already late spring here … "
Aistel sat on the steps in front of the two and looked up at the spring rain in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
Kurumi walked behind Eight-cloud Ink. She leaned sideways and poked her head out.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing the strange look in Kurumi's eyes, Eight-cloud Ink couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, can Fantasy Utopia really accommodate elves?"
Ever since Eight-cloud Ink explained the current situation of Yoshino in Fantasy Utopia, Kurumi had been feeling strange.
[That's right. This girl is also an elf. She must have experienced the endless pursuit of humans.]
Eight-cloud Ink thought for a while and then smiled.
"What? You want to go too? "
Kurumi reached out a finger and touched her cherry blossom-like lips. Her eyes flickered, but she didn't answer.
