"No problem, I'm confident in this area." The girl gave a shy yet determined smile.
Over the years of taking care of Kotori, she has honed her culinary skills to a high standard, and she will definitely not disappoint.
As for inviting Yalin as a guest, she had wanted to do so for a long time to thank him for his help and contributions in saving the elves.
Although Shiori Itsuka was not familiar with the spirits, she was happy that they had found a home.
However, this friend is always elusive, busy with important matters such as saving the world, so it's not easy to even see him, let alone invite him to visit.
Therefore, when Itsuka Shiori heard Ayrin's words, she readily agreed.
"In that case, Lin, let's go to the supermarket to buy groceries together."
The girl replied matter-of-factly, "After all, I don't know Lin's specific preferences, so you'll have to handle this yourself."
“No problem.” Yalin calculated Kotori Itsuka’s off-get off work time and immediately agreed.
.....
Wuhe's house, living room.
Kotori Itsuka, relaxing after work, paused for a moment when she noticed Ayrin following her sister in. With lightning speed, she changed her black hairband and began to observe him with undisguised eyes.
There was no way around it; after Elliott issued the order, Yalin, the boss of DEM, would become her number one rival.
Furthermore, the fact that the other party arrived at the Itsuka residence so quickly suggests that they may have learned of Ratatosk's plan and came specifically to warn them, so we really have to be careful.
"Don't be nervous. I'm only here as a guest and to collect a debt." Seeing Kotori Itsuka's tense face, Yalin waved his hand and said.
However, his words will undoubtedly cause an even bigger reaction.
"Collecting debts? Does your sister owe you something?"
Kotori Itsuka frowned and asked, her mind becoming tense.
"It's not Shiori-kun, but the promise you made to me."
Yalin snapped his fingers, restoring her memories from five years ago, and asked with a smile.
"Kotori, shouldn't we keep our promise now?"
Volume 1: Chapter 150: Each Calculating Their Own Schemes (4k)
Kotori Itsuka held her forehead, stunned by the unsealed memories. She then stared at Ayrin with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, as if she were seeing him all over again.
"Who are you anyway?"
Yalin and his sister are the same age, so why does he look the same five years ago as he does now?
Is it possible that she's aging in reverse?
"After regaining my memories, my cognition became unclear?"
"Don't worry, I'm still the same Yalin you know. As for our initial encounter, it was only through Tokisaki Kurumi's angel."
Yalin smiled as he answered Kotori Itsuka's questions.
The girl in front of us is the most crucial piece of the puzzle, so it's only right that we be patient with her at this moment.
"Nightmare actually has this kind of ability?"
Kotori Itsuka gasped, truly witnessing what a mechanism was.
She looked at Yalin, curious about why he had returned to the past.
It's impossible that I made a special trip just to fool her.
And what was the origin of the phantom that made her an elf?
Thinking about it this way, it's clear that things were shrouded in mystery five years ago.
Yalin did not answer the girl's question, but simply gazed at her leisurely.
"How despicable! How could you so shamelessly deceive me when I was young? Yalin, you are even worse than my sister described."
Kotori Itsuka understood what he meant and said in a depressed tone.
She was young and naive back then and signed a contract selling herself into servitude; now she can't back out even if she wants to.
After all, Yarin did keep his promise and did not harm Itsuka Shiori.
Therefore, even though she complained, her body wouldn't obey her and she came to Yalin's side, letting him do whatever he wanted.
"Don't rush. Once everything settles down, you'll see just how worthwhile our deal really is."
Yalin reached out and touched Kotori Itsuka's spirit crystal, analyzing it with practiced ease. In a moment, he mastered the ability to scorch and destroy demons, and incidentally eliminated the problem of Kotori Itsuka going berserk if she overused the ability.
As a spirit crystal infused with Mio Takamiya's anger, it is more difficult to refine completely than other spirit crystals.
Sanda Saho was one of the victims.
Even the current Kotori Itsuka has suffered greatly from it and needs to rely on sealing spiritual power to suppress this destructive urge.
For Yalin, resolving the hidden dangers was not difficult. No one was more knowledgeable about negative emotions than him.
"Is everything you've done related to the Primal Spirit?"
As the commander, Kotori Itsuka quickly understood the meaning behind Arin's words and, recalling Lord Woodman's reminder, couldn't help but ask.
"Wow, Kotori, you really do get things quickly." Yalin glanced at Kotori Itsuka in surprise and praised her generously.
"As the creator of you elves, she [the mother] is nothing short of a calamity for you elves."
To her, you are nothing more than containers for purifying spirit crystals.
If nothing unexpected happens, when the time comes, you will only be harvested.
After all, the spirit crystals of the elves were all derived from her power, and could not possibly defy her, their creator.
Since Kotori Itsuka wants to know, he doesn't mind revealing the details.
Given the current situation, the outcome is essentially decided, and Mio Takamiya cannot cause any trouble.
Click!
Upon hearing such explosive news, Kotori Itsuka bit the lollipop she was sucking on and her thoughts raced.
As expected, the phantom from back then was the Primal Spirit. Her actions were indeed malicious and unforgivable!
In particular, her actions back then hurt Itsuka Shiori, which was enough for Kotori Itsuka, who was obsessed with her sister, to remember the phantom.
Anger welled up inside her, and a murderous look appeared on her face.
"What is the purpose of the Primal Spirit?"
After taking a deep breath, Kotori Itsuka remained rational and asked a question.
"What exactly is she trying to achieve with such a elaborate plan?"
"This is actually related to your older sister, Itsuka Shiori."
"Of all the people in this world, only Shiori possesses the constitution to seal spiritual power. Do you think this is a coincidence?"
Yalin smiled and quietly watched as Kotori Itsuka's expression turned to shock, then her fists clenched, her crimson pupils filled with murderous intent.
"Yalin, please tell me what happened. Whatever you want to do next, I will fully cooperate with you."
Kotori Itsuka stared at Arin and said in a serious tone.
Kotori Itsuka can remain calm in the face of her schemes, but she truly cannot tolerate her sister's actions.
"As for the Primal Spirit, all you can do is willingly grant me access to the Fifth Realm," Yalin said bluntly.
One issue is the lack of strength, and another is that Murasame Reine is, after all, her best friend and part-time analyst.
Unless S-Yin San's situation becomes extremely critical, Yalin is not sure if Itsuka Kotori will be able to bring herself to kill her.
...Yo⊙Qiba SiVII罒翏Neighborhood, Fifth Domain.
Yalin gazed at the constantly erupting volcanoes and the lava fields, a satisfied expression on his face.
After taking control of this area, his clandestine hacking into the Paradise of Reincarnation became even more efficient, and the progress bar continued to rise, reaching a level of equality with the original owner, Mio Takamiya.
If it weren't to prevent Mio Takamiya from noticing something amiss and choosing a mutually destructive outcome, preferring to destroy the neighboring realm rather than let him benefit, then Arin could now demonstrate his existence.
"The next domains will be a piece of cake." Yalin looked at the first, sixth, seventh, and eighth domains, planning to take them all under control once he returned.
Of these spirits, only Kagami Nanami, though relatively troublesome, would not refuse him.
perhaps?
Even if Mio Takamiya doesn't come knocking on his door, he will take the initiative to find her and forcefully declare war.
When the hacking into the Paradise of Reincarnation reached its deepest level, Yalin discovered a tree spirit in the shape of a young girl inside.
"Rinne Sonogami?"
As Yalin gazed at the pink-haired girl, he remembered that this heroine from the Date A Live game was the key to the Paradise of Reincarnation.
As for the core of the Temple of All Things, it seems to be Mayuri.
It must be said that the skill level of Chonggong Lingzao Qun Yin Si 5 Jiu Shi Ge Jingling is really good.
However, this did not prevent Yalin from infiltrating the Paradise of Reincarnation; on the contrary, it made it easier for him.
Yalin shifted his hacking focus to the slumbering Garden God Rinne, a pleased smile spreading across his face.
It makes no difference to her whether she works for Mio Takamiya or considers him her boss.
"Hey, don't give me that wicked smile," Kotori Itsuka said with a look of disgust.
Unlike other elves, she was not interested in her own domain; the environment here was truly terrible.
"Given my current position, isn't it normal for me to be laughing like this?" Yalin patted Kotori on the shoulder: "Don't expose our cooperative relationship when we get back. If Takamiya Mio notices something is wrong, you'll be in big trouble."
This is not easy. As an analyst, Murasame Reine is always by Itsuka Kotori's side, and it is easy for her to notice something unusual if she is not careful.
However, thanks to Yalin's arrangements, there would be no danger even if they were exposed.
Yes, the fishing rod used by Kotori Itsuka is the one that Ayrin uses for fishing.
"Don't be so nagging, I definitely won't be careless. But Yalin, you must protect your sister."
Kotori Itsuka reiterated that she took this very seriously.
After learning about Mio Takamiya's origins, she had mixed feelings about this spirit, but she absolutely did not want her to use Shiori Itsuka as a vessel for Maori Takamiya's resurrection.
