I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

That is indeed a problem. Moreover, Tokisaki Kurumi also felt that those three criminals were not easy to deal with. After all, they were able to summon that guy, Takamiya Mio. In any case, she needed to figure out their strength first, otherwise Tokisaki Kurumi doubted that she would be able to kill those guys.

The above should be considered after she finds her own creator. Of course, Tokisaki Kurumi is also thinking about whether she can find any items or magic that can revive people in this world. These are just backup plans and will not be considered for the time being.

After several hours, Elodie finally finished dealing with the issues of Eve's Heart and Magic Circuits. Meanwhile, the cat craftsmen finished processing the materials even faster than Elodie. Although the fire element combined with the Rathalos material, which has strong resistance to fire, made processing difficult, they had Yhaka, so processing wasn't a big problem.

After everything was prepared, Elodie carefully assembled the materials for the automaton, as if she were assembling a Gundam model. Tokisaki Kurumi and Yuhaka did not come forward to help, since they did not understand such delicate things and might make a mistake instead of helping.

So, after a few hours, Elodie continued her work after finishing her meal. By the time it was almost time for her break, Elodie had finally completed the creation of her automaton.

Seeing the automaton that Elodie had finished, Kurumi Tokisaki broke out in a cold sweat. Pointing at the automaton Elodie had made on the table, she said:

"Um... Miss Elodie, is this what you do with automata?"

On the table in front of Kurumi Tokisaki was a large, half-two-handed greatsword, slightly larger than Yhaka. Its shape was very similar to the shell of a fire elemental Rathalos, mostly in red and black, with some crystal-like inclusions. The blade was semi-transparent and appeared fragile, but it was actually a crystal formed from Yhaka's energy, and its hardness was no less than that of blades made from various monster materials.

Moreover, the processing difficulty is very high. Apart from Yuhaka, since she made this herself, she can mold it into any shape she wants.

Meanwhile, the Blood of the Elemental King and the Blazing Jade of the Rathalos, obtained from the Elemental Realm, were also inlaid on the spine of the sword. The crimson Elemental Ore and the Blazing Jade were dazzlingly bright. Of course, the heat constantly released by the Blazing Jade was absorbed by the Blood of the Elemental King, so it no longer had the same scorching aura as before. Even so, it was still not appropriate to put your hand on the Blazing Jade, otherwise you might still get burned.

"?"

When Elodie heard Kurumi Tokisaki's words, she looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't know what Kurumi Tokisaki was talking about. At this moment, Kurumi Tokisaki realized that Elodie couldn't understand her, so she asked Yuhaka to translate for her.

After learning about Kurumi Tokisaki's problem through Yuhaka, Elodie nodded and said:

"Yes, this is an automaton I created."

After being translated by the Yuhaka translator, Kurumi Tokisaki looked at the greatsword on the table and said:

"This is... a sword, isn't it?"

In response to Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Elodie showed her her tablet. The automaton content on the tablet did not specify that it had to be in human form. Whether it was in beast form or sword form was basically irrelevant. In a sense, automatons were like magicians' wand-like weapons.

In response to Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Elodie reached out and grabbed the hilt of the greatsword made from fire elemental Rathalos material on the table, infusing it with magic, and said:

"Wake up, Levadin."

"Yes, Master!"

As Elodie spoke, the blood of the Elf King and the Blazing Jade on the greatsword on the table suddenly lit up, and the sharp, translucent blade was instantly filled with crimson flames, turning the entire blade a scorching crimson.

When Elodie easily lifted the greatsword, which was about the same size as Yuhaka's, with one hand, both Kurumi Tokisaki and Yuhaka showed surprised expressions. After all, they did not expect that the slender Elodie could lift such a large sword.

Of course, it wasn't Elodie's strength that allowed her to lift such a large sword, but rather the weight-reducing runes engraved inside the sword-shaped automaton called [Leivatin] in Elodie's hand, which allowed her to easily lift such a large weapon.

After picking up the weapon, Elodie went outside to test it, while Yuhaka and Kurumi Tokisaki followed her outside. Elodie then raised the Leivatin weapon high in her hands and said to it:

"Leivatin, activate [Branch of Ruin] mode!"

Upon hearing Elodie's words, Leivatin exclaimed "Yes, Master!" and Leivatin's sword instantly transformed into an open branch, growing considerably larger. The crimson light emanating from the Elven King's blood on the branch-like blade resembled a fruit ablaze with flames.

Seeing this, Yuhaka and the others couldn't help but show an expression of amazement. At that moment, Elodie suddenly collapsed like a robot that had lost power.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1233 [The Two Sides in the Secret Plan]

Upon seeing Elodie collapse to the ground as if she had fainted, Tokisaki Kurumi and Yuhaka quickly stepped forward. The Levadin that was originally burning with flames in Elodie's hand also reverted to its previous form. Obviously, without Elodie's control, this sword-shaped automaton had lost its power.

After Tokisaki Kurumi and Yuhaka turned Elodie over from the grass, they saw that Elodie looked completely drained. Yuhaka couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong with Elodie? Why does she look like a bass that's just finished spawning?"

Kurumi Tokisaki, who was listening to Yuhaka's words, also had a strange expression on her face. After all, the analogy Yuhaka used was really too weird.

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Elodie lay on the grass looking utterly dejected and said:

"My magic is exhausted. I accidentally overdid it."

Upon hearing Elodie's words, Yuhaka nodded in understanding and then told Tokisaki Kurumi about Elodie's situation. After hearing Yuhaka's translation, Tokisaki Kurumi breathed a sigh of relief. However, no matter what, the two of them could not leave Elodie lying on the grass unattended.

After bringing Elodie and her automaton back inside, Kurumi Tokisaki fired a fourth bullet at Elodie, instantly restoring her to her state before activating Leivatin's [Branch of Destruction] mode. Elodie sat up and looked at Leivatin, who was lying beside her, saying:

"Hmm...we still need to mediate a bit more."

As she spoke, Elodie picked up the Levatin from the side, intending to mediate. Hearing Elodie's words, even though Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't understand them, she knew what Elodie was going to do from what she was about to do. She asked Yuhaka to persuade Elodie to rest early, since it was almost midnight.

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka realized that it was getting late and it was time to go to sleep.

So Elodie was persuaded by Yuhaka to go to bed with him. Well... although it sounds a bit off, it is true in a certain sense. As for Tokisaki Kurumi, she didn't sleep with Yuhaka and the others. This time, Tokisaki Kurumi went out hunting.

Today, Tokisaki Kurumi's clone noticed that a number of people were missing from a homeless community in Tokyo, which caught Tokisaki Kurumi's attention. After all, this is Japan, and there are quite a few homeless people here. Most of them live together in quiet parks or in remote places.

If these people go missing, almost no one will care, which makes them the easiest targets for ghosts to contact.

Kurumi Tokisaki also left behind many clones to monitor specific locations, including homeless communities.

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

Having emerged from the imaginary space, Tokisaki Kurumi arrived at the location where her clone was monitoring the homeless community. As she stepped out of the shadows, she saw her clone standing atop a tall building, gazing at the distant homeless area. Kurumi approached her clone and asked:

"how is it now?"

Hearing her original body's words, Tokisaki Kurumi's clone also turned around and said to Tokisaki Kurumi:

"Just as I said before, there are now far fewer homeless people in homeless settlements, and some of these settlements are practically deserted."

Upon hearing her clone's words, Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression. Although she didn't know who it was, Tokisaki Kurumi could roughly confirm who was behind it. After all, apart from Muzan Kibutsuji, there were basically no other forces lurking behind the scenes.

Of course, there's also Altair. Because she doesn't know Altair's location, Kurumi Tokisaki has no way to track him, which leaves her wondering what Altair is up to.

Although she didn't know where the homeless people had gone, Tokisaki Kurumi planned to send some of her clones to track them. She was certain that if the other party dared to do it this time, they might do it again, and she hoped that the second time would allow her to investigate something.

Meanwhile, while Kurumi Tokisaki was investigating the disappearance of homeless people, Muzan Kibutsuji was working as a seemingly ordinary convenience store clerk. Muzan Kibutsuji was not doing this to earn money to make a living, but to hide himself and watch the news on TV, since he could use the news as information.

Although not most news stories are used as intelligence.

Originally, when he encountered Kurumi Tokisaki, Muzan Kibutsuji intended to escape to other areas. However, for some reason, Muzan Kibutsuji found that he could not leave the Tokyo area. This made Muzan Kibutsuji feel a sense of fear, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his throat.

Realizing he couldn't escape, Muzan Kibutsuji usually hid in the sewers and didn't dare to go out much. However, he soon realized that hiding in the sewers all the time wasn't a solution. So, Muzan Kibutsuji created a few lower-level demons. After all, if he were alone, it would be easy for him to be discovered when hunting humans. Having others would greatly reduce the chances of him being discovered.

At the same time, Muzan Kibutsuji was also expanding his ranks of demons. Since these people were not very reliable, Muzan Kibutsuji imposed stricter rules on them than he had previously imposed. They were not allowed to divulge anything about him, or they would face certain death.

These people who turn themselves into demons can also use this as cover, drawing away those who want to capture them. However, the only downside is that these demons cannot leave the Tokyo area.

This made Muzan Kibutsuji grit his teeth. No matter what he did, he couldn't leave this hellish place. Muzan Kibutsuji felt like a rat in a cage, a feeling that made him very uncomfortable.

Moreover, the sudden killing of most of his subordinates frightened Muzan Kibutsuji, so he quickly turned a group of homeless people into demons. This time, Muzan Kibutsuji strengthened his control over the homeless people, even stripping them of their minds, to avoid causing trouble for himself later.

This also allowed them to hide, specifically in the sewers. It was here that Muzan Kibutsuji discovered that the demons who had hidden in the sewers last time were all unharmed. This led Muzan Kibutsuji to believe that the enemy couldn't find them if they were hiding in the sewers, or that they had entered the sewers.

Indeed, even Muzan Kibutsuji felt like vomiting from the stench of the sewers, let alone a normal person.

It was at this moment that Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly froze. He sensed a demon that he could not control among the demons he was controlling. Muzan Kibutsuji was puzzled as to why there was a demon that he could not control.

Driven by curiosity, Muzan Kibutsuji manipulated a homeless man who had been turned into a demon to investigate. Soon after, Muzan Kibutsuji learned who the demon was: Nezuko Kamado.

According to the manga I saw in this world, Nezuko Kamado has the ability to not be afraid of the sun, which is exactly what Muzan Kibutsuji longed for.

Thinking about this, Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't help but feel excited. After all, how could he miss such a great opportunity?

However... just to be on the safe side, Muzan Kibutsuji also planned to investigate the matter thoroughly before making any further plans. Otherwise, if he were attacked by that female monster again, Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't guarantee that he could escape from her a second time.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1234 [Small Primitive Worms]

The next day, after sending out numerous clones to investigate Muzan Kibutsuji's whereabouts the previous night, Kurumi Tokisaki discovered a few clues. Among the homeless people she observed, some possessed a kind of "time" that didn't match Muzan's existence. This led Kurumi to discover which of the homeless people was the demon. However... Kurumi wasn't in a hurry to eliminate those guys, as she wanted to find out where they were hiding.

Soon, Kurumi Tokisaki also learned the location of the enemy's hiding place, which was located in the sewers of Tokyo.

Kurumi Tokisaki wasn't too surprised by this result, since this was the only place she hadn't checked. She hadn't gone down there because she thought it was dirty, and the stench down there would affect the fighting cats' sense of smell, so she hadn't sent any clones or fighting cats inside.

After all, Kurumi Tokisaki didn't want those cute cats to go into such a dirty place.

However, knowing that the other party was hiding in the sewers was good news. Knowing that was enough. The next step was to think about how to deal with them.

After Tokisaki Kurumi told Yuhka and Elodie about this information, she asked them if they had any methods to deal with the demons in the sewers.

Regarding Kurumi Tokisaki's problem, Elodie suggested using poison to deal with the demons in the sewers. However, the prerequisite was that Elodie could find a poison that could be modified to kill the demons. Although demons are afraid of wisteria, it's hard to say whether the wisteria in this world has the same effect as the wisteria in the Demon Slayer world.

Yuhaka's method was even simpler: he simply unleashed a black dragon-like breath attack on the sewer opening, leaving the sewers spotless.

Upon hearing Yuhaka's idea, Kurumi Tokisaki's lips twitched. Although she didn't know how powerful Yuhaka's breath attack was, Kurumi Tokisaki dared to say what Yuhaka would do, and she suspected that the entire Tokyo sewer system might be blown up by Yuhaka.

Kurumi Tokisaki rejected this idea, and then Yuhaka proposed a second idea: to release the bugs.

Of course, the insects referred to here are not ordinary insects, but primitive alien insects. Outside, a black, mud-like liquid spread under Yuhaka's feet. Tokisaki Kurumi and Elodie, who were standing nearby, took a few steps back upon seeing this, as they could instinctively sense an ominous feeling emanating from the black mud.

Well... after all, it's Tiamat's [Sea of ​​Life]. Once you fall into it, you'll basically be randomly given the statuses of "self-modification", "ecological change", "ecological fusion", and "individual proliferation".

Of course, this is on the premise that Yuhaka is willing.

Kurumi Tokisaki and Elodie, standing to the side, were at a loss for words as they looked at the bubbling, mud-like liquid in front of them. However, both of them could sense a tremendous amount of energy emanating from the mud. If it weren't for the fear that the mud exuded, which made them instinctively afraid, they would have wanted to study what it was.

However, for now, Kurumi Tokisaki and Elodie can simply ask Yuhaka.

"Hey, Yu-Yu-chan, what is this black, muddy stuff? Why does it give me such an ominous feeling?"

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Yuhaka turned around and looked at Kurumi with a puzzled expression. However, Yuhaka didn't care about that and explained to Kurumi and the others what this thing was.

"This is Titi's Sea of ​​Life, and Youyou can use it too OwO~"

"The Sea of ​​Life?"

After hearing Yuhaka's explanation, both Kurumi and Elodie looked skeptical, especially Kurumi. Although she didn't understand what the Sea of ​​Life was, it sounded incredibly powerful and didn't seem like a simple ability.

Furthermore, Tokisaki Kurumi always felt that the person named Titi was not simple, after all, Yuhaka's name was Yuuyu and he showed Ali's strength, which already made people feel that he was very powerful.

As Yuhaka's feet emerged from the black mud, a worm-like creature suddenly sprang out. The creature was about 30cm long, covered with a gray carapace covered with barbed thorns. It had a pair of sharp, slicing teeth at the head, no eyes, small claws with sharp claws on its body, and a barbed tail spike at the end of its tail.

As soon as the terrifying, worm-like creature scurried out, Yuhaka grabbed it in his palm. The worm immediately became docile in Yuhaka's hand. Seeing the thing that Yuhaka had summoned, Tokisaki Kurumi and Elodie couldn't help but feel a chill. After all, the worm in Yuhaka's hand looked aggressive and made people shudder.

Kurumi Tokisaki, her eye twitching, looked at the primitive worm leisurely swaying in Yuhaka's hand and asked:

"YuYu-chan... what is this?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Yuhaka explained to Kurumi Tokisaki and Elodie what the Primal Worm in his hand was.

"This is a little primitive worm~ OwO/, Youyou is going to throw this down the drain and eat all the bad guys~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Kurumi Tokisaki glanced at the small primitive worm in Yuhaka's hand. In any case, such a small monster would be a little troublesome to deal with oni, right?

Before Tokisaki Kurumi could even speak, a large number of small primitive worms surged out of the black mud beneath Yuhaka's feet. Seeing this scene, which resembled large fish leaping in a fishpond, both Tokisaki Kurumi and Elodie involuntarily took a few steps back, clearly quite frightened by the sight.

Yuhaka himself looked at the small primitive worm in his hand with a puzzled expression, wondering what was so scary about this place, since these little guys didn't spray out strong corrosive acid like adult primitive worms.

Of course, Yuhaka himself was unaware that most girls have an innate fear of insects.

Nevertheless, these small primitive worms should not be underestimated. They may not pose much of a threat to Yuhaka, but they can be difficult for ordinary people to deal with.

The carapace of the small primitive worm is extremely hard, and it is difficult to pierce it even with a knife. If the small primitive worm does not have a carapace, it is possible to cause damage. However, although the small primitive worm does not spray strong acid, its body fluid contains strong acid components. If you try to cut it with a knife, the consequences are predictable.
