I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

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

After Yohaka dealt with the Slaanesh cultists and Slaanesh demons there, Alice and her group also successfully eliminated the Slaanesh cult strongholds in other parts of the United City. After all, not all Slaanesh cultists gathered in Yohaka; there were also cult groups outside the city. If they weren't dealt with, it would be troublesome if they ran off to who-knows-where. Therefore, it was better to eliminate them.

Queen Undine's forces also arrived in the United City to help Yuhaka and her group deal with the remaining cultists and some outlaws. After all, there were bound to be those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the city to loot. After Undine's forces arrived, all those outlaws who wanted to take advantage of the chaos were arrested, including quite a few adventurers.

Meanwhile, after Yuhaka and her group presented the charges and evidence against the leaders of the United City, the residents of the United City learned what their leaders were up to. They were not only worshipping demons, but also engaging in slave trading and colluding with the demon race. The residents of the United City were shocked to see this, and it was no wonder that Queen Undine had sent her army here.

Furthermore, Yuhaka found evidence of the Slaanesh cultists' framing of Undine in their lair, which could clear Undine of the reason for plundering humans. However, the lack of a trace of the Reincarnation Stone left the Undines somewhat disappointed.

It is obvious that the enemy has already moved the Rebirth Stone away. The enemy is also well aware of the importance of the Rebirth Stone to Undine, so they did not leave it in the Duchy of Aberia. Therefore, it may be very difficult for Undine to find the Rebirth Stone.

However, Yuhaka has a way to solve the problem that Undine cannot reincarnate without a reincarnation stone. Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Queen Emeralone looked curious about what method Yuhaka could use to solve their reincarnation problem.

Yuhaka's method is also very simple: Yuhaka directly uses the Sea of ​​Life to create an "incubation pool" for the Undines, and the dead Undines can be reincarnated through this incubation pool. Moreover, they can choose the type of reincarnation according to their needs, whether they want to be reborn with their memories discarded or with their memories and level.

It has to be said that Queen Emerald was very tempted by Yuhaka's suggestion. After all, the Rebirth Stone cannot bring Undine's memories and level with it when she is reborn. Moreover, Undine's level will be reduced to level 1 after she is reborn. Therefore, if her level could be preserved, it would be a great boost to Undine.

Queen Amelone didn't think Yhaka was lying. After all, Yhaka's identity made Queen Amelone believe that he was capable of such a thing. After all, a hero blessed by multiple gods and the King of Elemental Spirits was not such a simple person.

After returning to Water Seven, with Ehaka's help, he set up an incubation pool at the original location where the Rebirth Stone had been placed. After Ehaka prepared the incubation pool, and with a little control, egg-like things gradually appeared in it. Normally, these Undines would take a certain amount of time to hatch, but Ehaka used some essence to speed up the hatching process. As the eggs hatched, several Undines remained in the incubation pool with bewildered expressions, clearly not understanding why they were there.

After Queen Amelone saw that the hatchery created by Yhaka could indeed revive Undine, Queen Amelone and Undine expressed their utmost gratitude to Yhaka, after all, Yhaka had saved their race, a debt of gratitude that even the entire Undine race could hardly repay.

However, Queen Emeroni hosted a banquet to thank Yuhaka. Alice and the others found it hard to refuse Queen Emeroni's gesture, and Alice also needed Queen Emeroni to provide her with political assistance. Yuhaka and the others spent a day in Water 7, and the next day, they embarked on their journey to the next place.

Nizar also joined Yuhaka and the others at Queen Emeroni's instruction. Alice and the others were very happy to welcome Nizar's addition. Although Nizar seemed immature as a warrior and mage, she was still a teammate with great potential. Moreover, Nizar was also a lovely child, and Alice and the others liked her very much.

However, before Yuhaka and the others left, Queen Emeralon gave them a crystal ball-like object. Upon seeing the crystal ball, Yuhaka realized that it was the same thing he had encountered before. This crystal ball was found by Undine and the others while cleaning up the cult stronghold in the United City. After hearing the "oracle," Queen Emeralon gave this object to Yuhaka, so it was quite normal for Yuhaka to receive it.

P.S.: Ugh, I didn't hear any renovation noise this morning, so I thought they were done. But then they started drilling again this afternoon, and now there's even the sound of hammers. It's so annoying.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1965 [YuYu: What breed of Theresa is this?]

After Yuhaka and the others headed to their next destination, Yuhaka received a call from Zerus during their journey. Through the dream world, they arrived in the world of Zerus, where Yuhaka saw Zerus sitting on a rock by an incubation pool, looking at her.

"You're here, just in time. I have some things I need you to handle." Hearing Zelus's words, a question mark appeared on Yuhaka's head. He clearly didn't know why Zelus had called him over while he was sleeping. To Yuhaka's blank expression, Zelus explained, "Regarding this, I think it's better if I take a look for you myself."

As she spoke, Zelus summoned a huge cocoon from the hatching pool as if she were calling for something. Seeing this, Yuhaka tilted her head slightly. However, Yuhaka did see a figure inside the semi-transparent cocoon, which indicated who was inside.

Yuhaka pointed to the cocoon and asked Zelus, "Zelus, who's that? OwO?" Zelus explained, "Remember the crystal ball you broke before? That's the child inside." Hearing this, Yuhaka gave a wide, surprised look, clearly astonished that there was someone inside the crystal ball. She was very curious about the technique that allowed someone to fit into such a small sphere.

Zelus noticed what Yuhaka was curious about and explained, "It's not about stuffing people in, but tearing their souls into pieces and putting them into different containers. Truly, it's Chaos! Always doing things that humans can't do..." Hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka tilted his head, clearly puzzled by what Zelus was saying. After all, Yuhaka didn't know much about Chaos; he only knew about it from Zelus and Bronya's board game stories.

"Anyway, the reason I called you here today is to have you handle this matter." As for how to explain this to Yuhaka, Zelus felt it would be better to get down to business first. Yuhaka was slightly taken aback after hearing Zelus's words, and then looked at Zelus with a curious expression, as if asking Zelus what problem she needed to deal with.

Zelus then told Yuhaka her requirements. Because the synthesized being rescued from the crystal ball wasn't ready for the physical body, Zelus planned to have Yuhaka carry the soul body first. One reason was to purify the residual chaotic power within the soul body, and the other was to have the other act as a locator. After all, this world was constructed by this person. Only when the other was complete could Zelus have a way to flip the mahjong table off the world while preserving it, and beat up those four stupid chaotic players, letting them know what they couldn't touch.

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Eohaka gave a "OwO?" look. Although Eohaka was a little confused, he nodded to indicate that it was alright. After Eohaka said it was alright, Zelus released the creature from the cocoon. Eohaka then saw the figure inside the cocoon clearly. It was a little girl with long white hair, the ends of which had a hint of green. Most importantly, she had an elven-like appearance. Eohaka could see her long, pointed ears. However, for some reason, Eohaka felt that she looked a bit like Theresa, which made him give an "OwO?" look.

Ehaka looked at Zelus with a curious expression and asked, "What is this Theresa OwO?" After all, Ehaka had seen various Theresas in the world of StarCraft 2, so he wondered if this was some kind of Theresa subspecies.

Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, Zelus was at a loss for words. She could only say that they were products of the same company, right? Of course, Zelus didn't say this aloud, because if she did, Yuhaka would ask something else. Zelus felt it was better not to say anything.

After clearing her throat twice, Zelus explained to Eohaka, "Ahem, this isn't Theresa! This child is called Narcida, from the Teyvat world where Zhongli and Ying, whom you met before, lived." Hearing Zelus mention Zhongli and Ying, Eohaka knew where she was referring to. He nodded with a curious expression, as he had always been curious about Teyvat, an unknown place, and wanted to know what delicious things were available there.

However, it wasn't all that great. This adorable, elfin girl named Narcida was left in the care of Yuhaka. Zelus also reminded Yuhaka that Narcida's memories were incomplete, and if there were any problems, it would be more important to help her find her memories and existence first, since she was the one who would save the world from chaos.

The most important thing is to eliminate the residual chaotic power of the other party. This includes not only the power of Slaanesh, but also the power of Tzeentch. After all, the other party is a god of Mount Sumeru in Teyvat. It is normal for him to be easily influenced by the power of Tzeentch in that place full of knowledge.

However, Zelus didn't know how the other party had brought them here, but they must have left some clues. Once she found all of Nasita's belongings, Zelus would begin to investigate the matter here. But for now, it would be better to remove the chaotic power from Nasita's body first, and this was something that Yuhaka was good at, so Zelus wasn't worried about it.

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

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

The next day, Alice and her friends were curious about the small green and white figure floating next to Yuhaka. The small figure next to Yuhaka, in response to their curious gazes, shyly moved away from Yuhaka, using Yuhaka's body to block their view. Seeing this, Alice and her friends couldn't help but ask Yuhaka about this figure that had suddenly appeared.

Regarding Alice and the others' questions, Yuhaka relayed what Zelus had said to them. After hearing Yuhaka's explanation, Alice and the others learned that the figure behind Yuhaka was named Nasita, and they gained a general understanding of her background. However, when they heard that she was the one who saved the world from the harm of the Chaos God, Alice and the others couldn't help but show a stunned expression.

Clearly, they hadn't expected that the elf named Nasita was such an important being. Alice and the others seemed a little unsure of what to say. However, upon closer reflection on Yuhaka's identity, they realized that Yuhaka might be a savior-level hero. Such heroes had appeared before, but that was a long time ago, when the world was on the verge of being conquered by demons.

Thinking about this, Alice and the others felt that the current situation in the world seemed not so good. This made them think that the world might be in danger. However, what they did not know was that being targeted by the Chaos Gods was already a very bad thing. If it weren't for the special nature of this world, it would probably become exactly like another world in a short time.

Regardless of what will happen to the world, Yuhaka and her companions' journey will not stop for now. During their travels, Yuhaka and her group enjoy sightseeing while also fighting monsters and bandits. Alice is clearly used to this "ordinary" life. However, if Alice had to choose between returning to the palace or traveling with Yuhaka and her companions, she would choose to travel with them without hesitation.

During this journey, Alice also practiced swordsmanship with Fran. After all, once you get the Hero's Sword, you can't improve your swordsmanship directly; you can only improve it through practice. And Alice has a pretty good learning ability; she truly deserves to be a descendant of a hero.

After some time, Yuhaka and her group arrived at a city called "Alcanretia". According to Alice, the city has a good hot spring resort where they can relax. After all, the royal trial grounds that Alice mentioned are not far away. After resting for a while, they can go there to check on the situation.

Before that, Alice had a strange expression on her face and told Yuhaka and the others not to trust anyone after arriving in that city, especially after they produced some strange contracts-like things. When they heard Alice's words, Yuhaka and the others also looked at her strangely, obviously not quite understanding why Alice would say that. But Yuhaka and the others nodded to her to indicate that they understood. After all, since Alice said so, it wouldn't hurt to be careful.

But after Yuhaka and the others arrived in that city, they understood exactly why Alice had told them that.

P.S.: Recovery report: My body seems to be mostly fine, but the whites of my eyes and skin are still a little yellowish, though much better than before. However, I guess there's no way to get rid of the gallstones anytime soon. I'll just have to take the advice of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor and buy some gallstone-dissolving medicine and see how it goes.

My appetite has improved a lot, but my digestion isn't great. I easily feel stuffed, which is a bit strange, but gallstones do affect digestion.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1966 [Damn it, Aqua!]

In the city of Alcanretia, Yuhaka and her group were also traveling through the city. Although the city was in the Kingdom of Belzegu, Yuhaka and her group did not see Alice's wanted poster. It was possible that the other party did not produce any wanted poster in order to avoid alerting Alice, but instead conducted a secret investigation through an official organization.

However, as this is the headquarters of the order under the water goddess Aqua, there are naturally quite a few believers here, but...

In front of Yuhaka and the others, an old woman appeared to have fallen to the ground, her shopping basket spilling its contents everywhere. Although she looked pitiful, the papers she was holding and the words she was muttering made Yuhaka and the others have no intention of helping her up.

"Oops~ I fell down, but if someone signs this initiation form for the Axis Cult, I can get up in no time~"

Hearing the old woman's words, Yuhaka and the others were dumbfounded. Yuhaka knew very well that the old woman hadn't really fallen. In Yuhaka's perception, the old woman's physical strength was much better than that of an average person. Moreover, the suspicious initiation book in the old woman's hand made it seem like she was doing some kind of sales pitch. This made Yuhaka and the others dare not take a step forward. Even the most obedient member of the group, Nie, had a strange expression. Although Undine was a water spirit, they were not followers of the water goddess Aqua. At most, they only respected Aqua.

Moreover, this was the first time Nie had ever met Aqua's followers, and to be honest, it left Nie feeling quite shocked...

"Um... what should we do?" Even Yue, the brains of the group, was a little unsure about what to do in this situation. As a vampire who had lived for an unknown amount of time, this was the first time Yue had encountered such a bizarre situation, and he was at a loss for what to do.

Yuhaka was even more straightforward and blunt. He simply led Alice and the others around. Even a good kid like Yuhaka couldn't be bothered with them, which shows that the other party was lying.

After Yuhaka and his group left, they soon encountered a man and a woman. The man seemed to be harassing the woman. Generally, such a scene would be seen as a villain threatening a woman, but for some reason, the righteous Alice didn't move at all. Instead, she looked at the scene with a blank expression, clearly as if she had seen similar scenes before.

Then, just as Alice had expected, the coerced woman suddenly produced several initiation papers from the Axis Cult, saying that only members of the Axis Cult could scare away this bad guy. The man playing the bad guy also said that if he were a member of the Axis Cult, he would have been scared away long ago. Oh, by the way, this man playing the bad guy called himself an "evil follower of Eris," which left Alice speechless. People who didn't know better might think that the followers of Eris were some kind of cult.

But Alice knew very well what kind of order the Eris was, and that not just anyone could become a follower of the Eris. Moreover, the Eris was one of the wealthiest orders in the world, and it had quite a few paladins and priests. In a sense, they could be considered the backbone of the fight against the demons.

And now they are called evil followers of Eris... This left Alice somewhat at a loss for words... Should she say, "As expected of followers of the Axis Cult?"

Yuhaka and her group simply walked past the two with a blank expression. Seeing that Yuhaka and her group were avoiding them, the two of them became anxious. But no matter what, Yuhaka and Alice also chose to avoid them.

When they arrived at a hot spring hotel, the hotel staff presented them with a book of initiation into the Axis Order as they checked in. If Yuhaka hadn't been literate, she probably would have written her name on it.

When Yuhaka and her friends saw through her trick, the hotel receptionist laughed and said that he had taken the wrong one. He then took out the hotel's check-in contract. After Yuhaka checked it briefly and found no problems, she wrote her and Alice's names on the contract and then entered the hot spring hotel.

Here, Yuhaka felt a bit like a Japanese hot spring inn. Well... after all, there are Japanese high school students in this world, so it's normal for this to happen.

Since they came to live here, Yuhaka and her friends naturally wanted to enjoy the pleasure of soaking in hot springs. Although there are quite a few hot springs near Yuhaka's home, Yuhaka doesn't really like going alone. She prefers to soak in hot springs with everyone.

Furthermore, to prevent harassment from members of the Axis cult during initiation attempts, Yuhaka and her group booked a room with a private hot spring. This greatly reduced the chances of them being harassed by Axis cult members, as encountering such harassment while soaking in a hot spring would be far too troublesome...

"Hoo~" Yue exclaimed as she soaked in the hot spring. After all, it was Yue's first time soaking in a hot spring, and the hot spring here had special effects that could help people eliminate fatigue and some negative states. Alice, on the other hand, did not seem to be too impressed. After all, she had been here before, but the people here had left some deep memories for the young Alice at that time.

Yuhaka and the others had also asked Alice this question, since Alice seemed to know about the place when she reminded them before. Yuhaka and the others were curious whether Alice had been here before. Alice nodded and did not deny it. She had come here with her father to relax, but the "hospitality" of the residents here left a deep impression on her.

However, seeing that Alice didn't want to recall her memories of coming here, Yue coughed slightly, interrupting Yuhaka and the others' questioning of Alice, and asked Alice about the Belzegu royal family's trial grounds. Alice was slightly taken aback by this question, and then began to think about it, saying, "Hmm... I don't know much about this either. After all, there are no records of the trial grounds left by our ancestors, so I don't know much about it."

"No records?" Yue was a little surprised to hear Alice's answer. After all, the lack of records was very strange to Yue. Generally speaking, there should be relevant records for this kind of trial ritual that is passed down from generation to generation. Why is there none?

Alice wasn't entirely sure about the moon either, but she had asked her father about it before. After all, there were no records of such a ceremony, so it was quite puzzling.

However, his father had explained this to him. After all, the trial ceremony would vary depending on the participants, so recording it would be of little use and might even cause unnecessary misunderstandings for royal members who would participate in the ceremony later.

After hearing Alice's explanation, Yue understood why the Belzer royal family had no records of the trial ceremony's contents.

"So, we won't know what the situation is until we reach the Belzegu royal family's trial grounds?" Fran asked Alice and the others, wagging her tail. Alice nodded in response, while Yue stretched and said, "Hmm... Anyway, we'll find out when we get there. Even if we don't pass the trial, it doesn't matter. After all, with Youyou's strength, dealing with Alice and the others should be a piece of cake, right?"

Alice couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed upon hearing Yue's words. Clearly, Yue's words had caused a shy blush to rise on Alice's face. After all, Alice hadn't known Yuhaka's strength back then. If she had known, she wouldn't have led them on such a long and roundabout journey to find her own training ground. If she had taken Yuhaka and the others there back then, everything would have been resolved immediately. But now… Alice actually thought it was quite good…

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

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

After a relaxing bath, Yuhaka and the others returned to their room in their yukatas. Alice took out the map she had brought with her, since they were getting close to the Belzegu royal family's trial grounds and wouldn't be there for long. However, there was still one problem: whether the enemy had sent troops to block their path. If they were, an encounter with the enemy was inevitable, but that wasn't what Yuhaka and the others were worried about.

There are two reasons for this. First, only the royal family can enter the Royal Trial Grounds, and the Sword of the Hero is the key. It is practically impossible for the other side to enter by controlling King Belzegu. Second, ordinary enemies cannot stop Yuhaka and her group. After understanding Yuhaka's approximate strength, Alice knew very well that no enemy could stop Yuhaka and her group.

Looking at the location shown on the map, Nasita, floating beside Yuhaka, pointed with a curious expression at the Belzegu Royal Trial Grounds and asked, "That place... which direction is it in?" Hearing Nasita's question, Alice was slightly taken aback. Although she didn't know why Nasita was asking these questions, Alice didn't intend to hide anything and pointed out the location of the Belzegu Royal Trial Grounds, saying, "It's over there, why?"

Regarding Alice's question, Narcida explained, "Yes, that location matches exactly where I sensed it." Hearing Narcida's words, everyone looked puzzled. Yue, however, seemed to remember something and asked Narcida, "So, Narcida, do you think the crystal ball containing your memories is over there?" To Yue's question, Narcida looked uncertain and said, "Hmm... I... I'm not sure. Only if I can get to that location can I accurately determine if it's where my memories are."

Hearing Narcida's words, everyone present was a little surprised, after all, they didn't quite understand why Narcida's memory crystal ball would be placed in Alice's family's trial grounds. However, they would find out when they went there to investigate.

After setting their target, Yuhaka and her friends went to eat. As a hot spring inn, it naturally prepared meals for its guests. Although the staff had previously harassed Yuhaka and her friends about converting to Christianity when they were greeting guests at the front desk, they did not do so now. Perhaps they felt it was inappropriate to harass guests about converting to Christianity while they were enjoying themselves.

After all, the Axis Order's income mainly comes from its hot spring inns, and it wouldn't be good if they made the place a mess...

The dinner here is somewhat Japanese in style, but the flavors are more like something out of another world. After all, the other side can only imitate some aspects. However, the taste is not bad, but it's not as delicious as what Yohaka makes.

After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their rooms to rest. The next morning, Yuhaka and the others set off. Yuhaka was worried that if they stayed in the city any longer, they would encounter more perverts from the Axis Cult who would harass them. Alice and the others nodded in agreement. Being targeted by these people would be exhausting for Alice and the others. If they were cultists, they could simply kill them, but the problem was that no matter how abnormal the Axis Cult was, it was still a legitimate religious organization.

In this situation, Yuhaka and her companions also felt it was best to slip away first. Several hours after setting off in their RV, Yuhaka and her companions finally arrived at the trial grounds of the Belzegu royal family. However, before that, Yuhaka and her companions saw a group of familiar guys, a group of mercenaries who looked like Norse barbarians, who were patrolling the area.

Seeing this, Yuhaka and the others realized that the enemy had arrived before them.

P.S.: I'll fast-forward through the plot here a bit. I feel like writing too much would make it feel a bit padded, so I'll finish this quickly and move on to the Genshin Impact part.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1967 [An Easy Battle]

Upon seeing the scene of Norse barbarian-like mercenaries patrolling the Belzeg royal trial grounds, Alice said with a serious expression, "I didn't expect them to be so much faster than us..." Yue, standing beside Alice, explained, "Well, considering the location of the Belzeg kingdom's capital and this place, it's normal for them to be faster than us. However, even so, it's not impossible that they arrived here beforehand using teleportation magic."

Then Yue looked at Alice and asked, "Speaking of which, Alice, do you have any guards protecting this place?" Hearing Yue's question, Alice shook her head and said that there were no guards protecting it. After all, ordinary people could not enter, not even demons. The Belzegu royal family was not worried about any problems with the trial grounds, or rather, they were very clear that there would be no demon invasion here.

Yuhaka and her companions were unaware of this, but the enemy's arrival was most likely intended to prevent them from reaching the trial grounds of the Belzegu royal family, or perhaps they had some other scheme. However, for Yuhaka and her companions, these enemies were no match for them.

After scouting the situation from the RV, Yuhaka and her companions looked at the enemy positions displayed on the holographic projection. Judging from the projection, there were indeed quite a few enemies. However, apart from some Norse barbarian-like mercenaries, Yuhaka and her companions also saw some mages wearing blue armor. Although it looked strange, with Yuhaka's interference, there was a possibility that the mages would encounter a magic backlash if they tried to use spells normally. Yuhaka didn't pay too much attention to this.

After everything was ready, Yuhaka and her group set out. They chose the simplest method: to attack directly. Yue could sense that there was a lot of surveillance magic in this place, and it would be too troublesome to avoid these surveillance spells and the patrolling mercenaries. It was better to just attack directly.

Upon hearing Yue's suggestion, Yhaka naturally raised the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword and the Baradion Divine Sword without hesitation. Clearly, Yhaka had a very positive opinion of Yue's suggestion. The others also felt that there was no problem after hearing Yue's words, because Yhaka gave them a lot of confidence. They really had nothing to worry about in a head-on battle.

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

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

In the trial grounds of the Belzegu royal family, the treachery mage guarding the area suddenly sensed someone violently invading. This startled him, as he hadn't expected anyone to force their way through in such a manner. Moreover, it seemed that when Yhaka and her group broke through, they completely destroyed magical defenses and traps. The treachery mage couldn't understand why the other side dared to attack so brazenly, and why they shouldn't have been more cautious.

Could it be that the other party is very confident in their own abilities?

Thinking about this made Twisted Fate a little uneasy, but just as he suspected, the other party was indeed very confident.

After Yhwaka and her group launched their attack, the Norse barbarian mercenaries swarmed towards them like ants attracted to food. Unfortunately, they were all easily dealt with by Yhwaka and her group. The reason was simple: the weapons wielded by the vanguard were replicas of Yhwaka's Key of Domination, possessing a single-molecule chainsaw-like attack style. Any armor was useless against them, even with enchantments. Yhwaka's attack was even more straightforward and brutal. After all, the Demonbane Sword and the Baradion Sword had become extremely sharp under Yhwaka's enhancement, and ordinary creatures could not withstand them. Even the insect carapace of ordinary Thunder Beasts could hardly withstand Yhwaka's attacks.

Furthermore, with the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword's ability to ward off magic, even magical defenses are helpless against Yhaka.
