Daemons had long lifespans, and powerful daemons were even immortal.
Therefore, you couldn't expect monsters to have the same concept of time as humans, who only had a lifespan of a hundred years.
Especially for old monsters, there was no difference between a year and a day in their eyes.
It was like Yukari said to You Youzi, "Come play in two days", and then she might go again in a year and a half.
Of course, it was also possible that Yukari forgot about it after saying it.
However, this concept of time on Eight-cloud Ink was questionable.
Although the time of being a monster had exceeded the time of being a human in her previous life, she was almost completely demonized from the inside out. But in terms of time, she still had some human characteristics, even if this characteristic was fading quickly.
Because of this characteristic, Eight-cloud Ink came to the DEM branch in Tiangong City alone the day after solving the satellite crash.
There, in the office on the top floor of the branch building, Weiss was quietly waiting for the arrival of Eight-cloud Ink.
Irene stood behind Weiss, staring at Eight-cloud Ink vigilantly.
Her right arm was still empty.
"Mr. Yakumo, you're here."
Weiss, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled at Eight-cloud Ink and raised the wine glass in front of him as if he was facing an old friend.
"I'm sorry."
Eight-cloud Ink sat directly across from Weiss and looked at Weiss indifferently.
"I've never liked wine."
"Then … how about black tea?"
"No need, I'll leave soon."
"What a pity …"
Shaking his head, Wescott sighed.
"Mr. Yakumo, I really don't want to be an enemy of a powerhouse like you …"
"I know, it's not wrong to pursue power, I also pursue great power. It's just that your target is now on my side, so there's no other way …"
"Then, what else is Mr. Yakumo going to do after sinking Nilu Island?"
Before coming here, Eight-cloud Ink got the location of Nilu Island from Kotori, then sank the island in the Pacific Ocean where the second elf was once imprisoned.
Together with the researchers on it, they were completely sent to the bottom of the sea.
"Do you have any explanation for what happened yesterday? Although I'm not very familiar with you, I don't think you're the kind of person who would do something so stupid. "
"… Aha."
Will Court narrowed his slender eyes and chuckled.
"It's just some idiots on the board who want to get rid of me."
"Then … those guys are all dead now?"
"Of course."
Will Cote replied casually, as if he had just stepped on a few ants.
"Dead, huh … That saves me the trouble of making another trip."
"Now, how does Mister Yakumo intend to deal with me? The matter with the second elf is also beyond my expectations … Mister Yakumo, are you planning to pay a life for a life? "
Wescott was still smiling, as if he didn't care about his own life or death.
However, behind him, Irene's expression changed greatly.
"A life for a life? That's what I wanted to do, but Lingyin and Kotori didn't agree. Also, Woodman put aside his pride and begged me. "
"Woodman …"
Hearing Elliot Woodman's name, Wescott suddenly felt a little lonely.
"Old friend, I haven't seen you in a long time …"
"Then you should hurry up and meet him. Both of you don't have much time left, and you'll die before him."
Weiss paused, then shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Mister Yakumo, you've already seen through me?"
"In order to maintain a young body, you performed magic modification on yourself without permission, but it failed and consumed a lot of your lifespan. It's lucky that you're still alive."
"Ah, I'm just struggling at death's door …"
"Since you're going to die soon, I won't say anything more. I'll take Jonamiya Shinna with me."
"Do as you wish."
Just like that, under Weiss's arrangement, Eight-cloud Ink met Jonamiya Shinna, who was confused.
After Eight-cloud Ink told her that he would take her to see her brother, Itoka Shido, the girl decided to leave DEM without hesitation.
⑧
Putting aside the meeting between Itoka Shido and Jonamiya Shinna, Violet and Blue had already returned to Fantasyland.
Of course, because the girl Seven Sins was too noisy, Violet was angry and directly deprived her of her ability before returning.
Then, Seven Sins, who revealed her true appearance, seemed to be greatly traumatized. After screaming and fainting, Ashina arranged for her to stay in a bedroom.
A few days later.
"Hmm? You said Seven Sins woke up? "
After accompanying Yui to the amusement park to play Eight-cloud Ink for a day, Ashina returned to the coffee shop and told her this news.
"Yes, but she's been throwing a tantrum …"
Ashina looked at Eight-cloud Ink with a wry smile, then pointed at Mei Jiu.
There were a few red marks on the girl's face.
"Daahhhhhhhh —!!"
Mei Jiu threw herself into Eight-cloud Ink's arms with tears in her eyes and twisted. Her pair of opals that could fit Kurumi's head — why was she always compared Kurumi's head to Mei Jiu? — gave Eight-cloud Ink an indescribable feeling because of the squeezing.
"My face was scratched by Seven Sins!"
Like a small animal seeking comfort from its owner, Mei Jiu raised her head and looked at Eight-cloud Ink pitifully.
Her index finger gently brushed across Mei Jiu's face, and the red marks on Mei Jiu's face immediately disappeared. The girl even hummed comfortably.
Origami saw this and immediately scratched her face a few times, then walked to Eight-cloud Ink.
She raised her head.
Stare —
Everyone in the room was speechless …
"You …"
Eight-cloud Ink scratched Origami's face a few more times with her finger, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Only then did the girl leave with satisfaction.
Ashina sighed and said, "Anyway, Mo, go take a look. Be careful."
"Mm, okay."
Arriving at the door of Seven Sins' room, Eight-cloud Ink gently pushed the door open under the gaze of a group of girls.
The room was very spacious. Although it was daytime, the curtains were drawn, so the whole room seemed a little dim.
In the middle of the room, there was a big soft bed.
On the bed, Seven Sins was grabbing the quilt and constantly tearing it.
However, the elf whose power was temporarily sealed by Purple was now like an ordinary girl. No matter how she pulled, she couldn't tear the quilt.
"Seven Sins."
Walking into the room and sitting on the edge of the bed, Eight-cloud Ink gently called out her name.
She had messy dry hair, pale skin, and short stature.
She was like an otaku who didn't care about her appearance at home.
Seven Sins, who had been in a trance, came back to her senses because of this call. She looked at Eight-cloud Ink and the girls behind her in surprise, then screamed and crawled under the quilt.
"Ahhhhh —!!!"
The scream from under the quilt made Eight-cloud Ink frown deeply.
How could she communicate in this state?
"Seven Sins …"
Eight-cloud Ink called again.
"Get out … Get out … Don't look … Don't look …"
Under the quilt, Seven Sins' muffled voice came.
"Ah, it seems that this little sister Seven Sins doesn't seem to have confidence in herself …"
Kurumi covered the corner of her mouth and laughed.
"Okay, Seven Sins, don't make a fuss. How about we communicate?"
Seven Sins moved around under the quilt, and then the quilt, which was wrapped into a ball, revealed a gap.
From inside, one could see Seven Sins' emerald-like eyes.
"What are you doing? Are you here to laugh at me? You're really here to laugh at me!? "
"Laugh at you? Why should I laugh at you? At the very least, I saved you from Irene's hands. "
"That, that guy … I can win without you!"
Seven Sins snorted guiltily.
However, she also knew that although they didn't fight, if it wasn't for Eight-cloud Ink, she would have been seriously injured when she was hunted by Irene.
She might even have died.
… Silence.
Then, seeing that Eight-cloud Ink didn't intend to go out, Seven Sins spoke again.
"Why … Save me? You're really here to laugh at me, right? "
"Why can't I save you?"
Eight-cloud Ink asked back.
Seven Sins pursed her lips.
"I, I treated you like that … I turned you all into children …"
"Ah, you're talking about that …"
Eight-cloud Ink recalled the scene of a bunch of lolis at home.
[Gu … What's with this restless feeling in my heart? I'm not a lolicon, how can I —]
Shaking her head, Eight-cloud Ink threw the strange thoughts out of her mind.
However, this action obviously caused Seven Sins to misunderstand.
"Sure enough, you're here to laugh at me! Bastard! Then I'll let you laugh at me! "
Then, Seven Sins shrank back into the quilt and refused to come out.
