I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Ji Lin looked at the few small boxes in his hand with a puzzled expression, while Anna, standing beside him, also looked at the small boxes in Ji Lin's hand with some curiosity and asked:

"What's wrong, Ji Lin? What are these little boxes?"

Ji Lin also examined the packaging of some boxes. Apart from having their names written on them, they were just rather ornate-looking.

"I don't know, let's open it and take a look."

As she spoke, Ji Lin opened the box with her name on it and saw more than a dozen neatly arranged caramel chocolates and matcha raw chocolates. Upon seeing these chocolates, Ji Lin seemed to realize what was happening and said:

"Oh, it's chocolate... But why make chocolate? And why deliver it this way?"

Based on Ji Lin's understanding of Youhaka, under normal circumstances, she wouldn't pay too much attention to the appearance of whatever delicious food Youhaka sent over. However, this time Youhaka specially prepared a pretty little box to make Ji Lin wonder.

When Anna saw the chocolates in Ji Lin's hand, she opened her own box and her eyes lit up when she saw the dozen or so caramel chocolates and matcha ganache inside. Anna clearly has no resistance to sweets. No wonder she's a little girl.

.................................................. ..............................

At the Elf Academy of Aresia.

After everyone finished making their chocolates, they were presented for comparison. Unsurprisingly, it was the victory of Yuhaka and Linslet; their chocolates were quite good. As for Claire and Fiana's chocolates…

One is charcoal chocolate, and the other, apart from Yuhaka, can instantly send any elf back to the edge of the elemental elf world after eating it, which shows how terrifying it is. Of course, apart from Yuhaka, Yuhaka at most feels a tiny bit spicy.

After delivering the chocolates, Yuhaka also went to deliver chocolates to Viya. Because Viya was not a student of this academy, she did not live in this world but chose to return to Pandora.

On Pandora, in the former homeland of the Nivi, animal skin tents were erected, and many Nivi people were carrying building materials to prepare for building a new home. Although this place had been reduced to scorched earth by mercenaries using incendiary bombs, after Yhwaka obtained the power of the land god from the world of DOG DAYS, he used this ability to regenerate a large amount of vegetation found on Pandora in the Nivi's former scorched homeland.

The Nivi people around him showed great respect to Yuhaka, while also glancing curiously at Esther, who was wearing only black knee-high socks behind Yuhaka. Esther looked somewhat like the human invaders from before. However, the Nivi people knew that the people around Yuhaka were not bad people, so they did not have any hostility towards Esther.

As for why Esther only wore one sock... the answer is simple: because of Pandora's unique ecological environment.

Meanwhile, Esther, standing next to Yuhaka, was also curiously observing everything around her. After all, Esther had never seen a place that resembled the territory of the Water Spirit King before. However, Esther knew very well that she was not in the territory of the Water Spirit King, nor was she in the Elemental Spirit Realm.

After all, there's no divine power energy here, so it couldn't possibly be the realm of elemental spirits.

Out of curiosity, Esther tugged at Yohaka's swimsuit and said:

"Master, where is this place?"

Hearing Esther's words, Yuhaka turned around and explained the situation on Pandora to her. After hearing Yuhaka's explanation, Esther looked like she was saying, "I don't know what's going on, but it sounds amazing."

After asking around among the Niwei tribespeople, Yuhaka learned where Viya was and went to find her. Soon, Yuhaka found Viya examining something. Upon seeing Viya, Yuhaka's eyes lit up, and he pounced on her from behind to scare her.

"ah?!"

Startled, Viya let out a cute scream. When she turned around, she saw Yuhaka with his arms crossed. Viya looked at Yuhaka with a slightly helpless expression and said:

"Your Highness, please don't scare people like that..."

Then Viya noticed Esther behind Yuhaka, who was only wearing black stockings. Seeing Esther naked, Viya was puzzled. She had seen Esther before when she was training Linslet and the others, so she didn't pay too much attention to it and asked them:

"By the way, Lady Youyou, what brings you here?"

Hearing Viya's words, Yuhaka tilted his head slightly, then, as if remembering something, handed Viya the chocolate box he had placed in his dimensional portal, saying:

"Chocolate~"

"chocolate?"

Viya looked puzzled as she took the chocolate from Yuhaka. Although she had eaten some snacks in Yuhaka's world, she hadn't eaten chocolate many times. After opening the box, she saw more than a dozen neatly arranged caramel and matcha chocolates.

Seeing these chocolates, Viya picked up a caramel chocolate and said:

"Is this... one of those snacks that tastes a little bittersweet?"

Hearing Viya's question, Youhaka, with a proud look on his face, put his hands on his slender hips and nodded, saying:

"Yes! It was made by Youyou =w=!"

Upon hearing that it was made by Yuhaka herself, Viya looked expectant and then ate the chocolate in her hand. Immediately, Viya felt a sweet milky taste spreading in her mouth.

Mmm~~~ It's so delicious~

Seeing that Viya liked the chocolates he made, Yuhaka also showed a smug look.

Chapter 693 [Getting Closer with Esther]

While Viya was eating the chocolate made by Youhaka, she suddenly remembered something and said to Youhaka:

"By the way, Lady Youyou, we've found something that can replace soy sauce!"

Upon hearing Viya's words, Yuhaka also showed a puzzled expression. Then, under Viya's guidance, Viya showed Yuhaka their results. Yuhaka could see that in a small house, a Nivi tribesman wearing a beast skull was stirring a huge pot. This pot was custom-made by Viya from the Elf Cat, since there was no such thing as a pot in Pandora, and everyone ate raw food.

Inside was a dark liquid that looked like soy sauce, which made Yuhaka crane his neck to look at the liquid in the pot.

The Niwei tribesmen who were stirring things inside bowed to Viya and Yuhaka when they saw them arrive. Viya then pointed to the liquid in the pot and explained to Yuhaka:

"This was extracted from a fruit we didn't eat before because the juice in that fruit had a very strong taste, which we really didn't like, so we stopped eating that fruit."

What happened next was that after Viya tasted the soy sauce that Yuhaka had brought over, she felt that the taste was somewhat familiar. So she went to get the fruit and diluted the juice inside a little. After that, the taste was similar to soy sauce.

After hearing what Viya said, Yuhaka also became curious about the fruit, and then stayed on Pandora to study it with Viya and the others.

Meanwhile, Esther wasn't very interested in what Yuhaka and Viya were doing about making soy sauce fruit, since she only knew how to eat it but not how to cook it.

So Esther returned to Yuhaka's body.

Yuhaka stayed with Viya for several hours, while only about an hour had passed in the world of the Elf Master's Sword Dance.

At that moment, Viya, her hair shimmering with a faint red glow, looked at Youhaka and said:

"Um... Lady Youyou, would you like to stay the night or something?"

Hearing Viya's words, Yuhaka naturally had no objections, so he stayed overnight on Pandora. Of course, Viya's decision to stay overnight meant more than just sleeping...

However, Yuhaka forgot one thing: Esther, who was inside her body's consciousness, could perceive what was happening outside.

.................................. .................................

After a wonderful night with Viya, Yuhaka returned to the Elf Dormitory in Arecia early the next morning, and it was only around midnight there.

Back in Claire's room at the dormitory, Claire was already asleep. Seeing her fast asleep, Yuhaka suspected that only a sonic boom bomb could wake her up.

When Yuhaka went to the bathroom in the room to take a shower, Esther emerged from Yuhaka's elven imprint and looked at Yuhaka expressionlessly.

"Master, do you enjoy doing that kind of thing with that girl named Viya?"

Upon hearing Esther's question, Yuhaka tilted his head and thought for a moment about what Esther was talking about. Then, Yuhaka suddenly remembered something and nodded, indicating that he felt very comfortable.

After seeing Yuhaka nod, Esther plopped down on Yuhaka's lap and said to him with a serious expression:

"Then I want to do it with my master too."

And so... Yuhaka and Esther spent a pleasant time in the bathroom.

.................................................. ..............................

The next morning, Claire and the others woke up and found nothing unusual, except that Esther was more attached to Yuhaka, and everything was the same as usual.

Located in the Elemental Spirit Realm, Claire and her friends are preparing for another competition. Although their special training has only lasted a few days, they don't have that much time to train, since the Spirit Sword Dance Festival is only a few weeks away.

If they continue to delay, they might not even get a chance to improve their ranking. Most importantly, they also want to test their strength through actual combat.

The operation was the same as before, with Claire and Eughaka as the melee vanguard, while Linslet provided sniping cover, and Fiana as the support as always.

Although their teams are the same this time, they have different skills.

"Uuuuuu——"

As Fiana played a flute that sounded like the horns of some kind of animal, various little sprites in the shape of animals came out and came to Fiana's side to look at her.

Fiana fed them snacks made by Yuhaka and sent them to scout out their surroundings. The little sprites that ate the snacks Fiana gave them were very obedient and scattered.

Seeing that the little sprites had all left to scout, Fiana breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew... It seems the snacks Yoyo-chan gave us really are fine. Those little guys obediently went off to scout."

Claire, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but comment after seeing this:

"Uh, are you sure they won't come back after they leave?"

Upon hearing Claire's words, Fiana was stunned. However, after Yuhaka told Fiana and the others that the Pokémon would return, everyone felt relieved. At the same time, Fiana also breathed a sigh of relief. If she had failed to communicate with the Pokémon, she would have been utterly humiliated.

A little while later, a bird-like wind elemental flew to Fiana's shoulder and chirped a few times. Of course, Fiana couldn't understand it, and neither could Claire and Linslet, except for Yuhaka.

After hearing the bird-like wind elemental spirit's cry, Yuhaka also learned the enemy's location.

Chapter 694 [The First Match After Special Training (Part 1)]

"Hmm... So this is it... It's still quite far."

Claire looked at the map in her hand and said, "According to the reports from the little elves, the elf users of our opponents this time are all in one place, as if they are guarding something. This makes Claire and the others feel very strange, but they think that the opponents may be planning to play a defensive game, so they don't pay too much attention to these things."

However... according to the little elves, there was a platform over there that looked like it was made of wood. Hearing this, Claire and Linslet were completely bewildered. But Fiana, who was standing nearby, stroked her chin and thought for a moment before explaining to Claire and the others:

"Hmm...it feels like an altar used for performing ritualistic Kagura music..."

Hearing Fiana's words, Claire, who was standing nearby, looked at Fiana curiously and asked:

"A ritual altar? Is it like the one we encountered in the mining city last time?"

Fiana shook her head in denial and said:

"No, they are not the same. The altar in the mining city was used to seal strategic-level military Pokémon, while the high platform mentioned by the Pokémon is likely an altar used for holding some kind of large-scale Kagura ceremony, right?"

After hearing Fiana's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding, while Linslet, with her arms crossed, asked with a puzzled look:

"But... if it's really as the fairies say... then how was this high altar built???"

Hearing Linslett's words, everyone present was stunned. That's right, if it was set up temporarily, it would be impossible to complete it in less than an hour after the start of the competition. After all, this is an altar used for ritual Kagura, not an ordinary high platform.

After everyone failed to figure out how the altar had been built so quickly, they gave up on the idea. Claire and the others decided it would be better to launch an attack first, since the longer the ritual Kagura lasted, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

Fiana changed into the attire used for ritual Kagura, indicating that she might use a counter-ritual Kagura to deal with the opponent's ritual. At the same time, she also gave Yuhaka and the others a buff. Thanks to the training from her Palico companions, Fiana can now play several songs without panting while playing the "small" hunting horn used by her Palico. If it were the hunting horn used by the hunter, which looks like a long-handled hammer, she wouldn't need to play it most of the time, but it would require a lot of strength from the user.

After Fiana finished playing her flute, Yuhaka and the others set off to deal with their opponents. Since the goal of their operation was to eliminate all of the opposing team, they only needed to eliminate the opponents to achieve victory.

Linslet was there to guard Fiana in case anyone tried to ambush her.

.................................................. ......................

After some time, when Ehaka and her team went to attack the opposing team, they were ambushed. However, thanks to Ehaka, these ambushes were basically useless. Any Pokémon magic attacks were swatted away by Ehaka with the Demon-Slaying Sword, since the Demon-Slaying Sword has the ability to disable Pokémon magic.

Like raindrops, lightning bolts flew towards Yuhaka and Claire. To avoid the barrage of attacks, Claire used tree trunks to jump into the air and summoned her elven armor, which was a long whip of fire that swept across the attacking location.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound rang out in the air as the Flame Whip, capable of slicing through anything, easily swept away the trees in front of Claire.

In the cleared woods, there was the figure of a lightning spirit girl. That lightning spirit girl was from the opposing team. After seeing the target appear, Claire also showed a smug expression.
