"The energy recovery rate is 37.8%. It can be overloaded when necessary. The energy reactor has self-checked successfully. Kotori, everything is fine."

Murasame Reine stated in a calm tone.

"Do you need to bring Shiori back now?"

Kotori Itsuka paused while biting the lollipop and hesitated for a rare moment.

She could see through the light screen that her sister had a determined look on her face. This expression was not unfamiliar to Kotori Itsuka.

"...Let's wait and see."

High in Ratatoskri, everyone was on edge, paying close attention to the movements on the ground. At this moment in Raizen High School, or rather, in the ruins of Raizen High School, the atmosphere was equally tense.

"Who are you and why are you suddenly saying so many inexplicable things to me?"

The princess looked at Gokawa Shiori in astonishment, her confusion almost overflowing.

She met a stranger on the road, and after just a few words he started shouting nonsense like "understanding" and "help", which made her head hurt.

"I...By the way, is there anything you particularly like?"

Gokawa Shiori blushed a little when she said that, but this normal reaction actually eased her tension further, and her tone became more relaxed.

"The things I love?"

The princess was confused by this outspoken guy, but after all, Gokawa Shiori was just an ordinary human with a combat power of only five. He looked so harmless that the princess subconsciously followed her topic.

"Yes, it's the kind of thing that you want when you see it!"

The so-called weakness and strength are obtained through comparison. When the princess was holding the door panel sword, Gokawa Shiori was very timid, but after noticing the princess's confused nature, she turned on the offensive and gradually began to dominate the direction of the topic.

"what is that?"

The princess murmured.

Things you like, things you want.

She raised her eyes, and her eyes, as clear as amethyst, were tinged with a haze of confusion.

When she started to think about it, she realized that there was no such thing as "something she liked" in her memory.

When I woke up from my deep sleep, the world was a white desert, without any color or sound.

She seemed unable to do anything except sleep, but there was nothing wrong with this and she never felt lost or painful because of it.

Because to her, a world with nothing in it is the norm. This world filled with flowers, plants, buildings, and the sky is actually different.

Falling asleep, waking up, being attacked, and then being taken back by an unknown force to continue sleeping until the next time waking up, and so on in this cycle, as if the laws of nature cannot be changed.

Since it is a natural law, there is of course no question of like or dislike. After all, whether people like summer or not, summer will come. No matter how much you hate the arrival of tomorrow, the sun will rise as usual and will not be affected by the so-called likes or dislikes.

"As for me, I like to cook."

Seeing that the princess was inexplicably lost in thought, Gokawa Shiori bravely took a step forward. This action made everyone on Ratatoskr sweat for her.

"Cooking, what is it?"

The princess asked with some confusion. She was so focused on thinking that she didn't notice Gokawa Shiori approaching.

"It's the technique of preparing food. Cooking raw food, or simply washing vegetables and mixing them with salad dressing makes them taste delicious."

When it comes to fighting, Gokawa Shiori is an amateur, but she is a professional at cooking.

"eat?"

There was a clarity in the princess' eyes that was not polluted by knowledge. She stared at Gokawa Shiori blankly, and always felt that the information she had received in just a few minutes was more than what she had been exposed to in a long time.

"Well, wait a minute, let me see if I have any food with me!"

Shiori Gokawa moved his body, and before he knew it, the two of them were already very close to each other, but neither of them was aware of it. Only the people on Ratatoskr could not help but cheer.

"We've exceeded the safe distance!"

"If the princess doesn't reject this kind of contact, it means that Miss Gokawa and the princess have at least reached a level of friendship!"

"I was nervous before, but I didn't expect the commander's sister is also a genius!"

Some people estimated the favorability based on social distance, some looked at the princess's confused expression and judged that her defenses should have been mostly melted, and some people simply praised the commander.

"It feels different than I expected."

Kotori Itsuka, who was the center of discussion, was not so optimistic. She whispered to Murasame Reion.

"Elves, it shouldn't be that easy to conquer, right?"

Murasame Reine didn't say anything, but silently expressed her doubts with her eyes.

"Exactly, how can I describe it to you? I still feel that it went too smoothly, which makes me feel that something is wrong. Elves and the like, shouldn't be the kind of people who fall in love with someone after just a few minutes of chatting, talking, and eating, right?"

Kotori Itsuka had a conflicted look on her face, because she saw from the light screen that her elder sister took out two lollipops from her pocket, and after helping the princess unwrap the paper, she demonstrated by putting one of the lollipops to the princess' mouth. The latter opened her mouth hesitantly, and then her whole demeanor changed.

Murasame Reion looked at the favorability level rising under the princess's portrait on the screen, and inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu.

"Elf, it looks like this."

"what?"

"......"

Murasame Reion opened her mouth and blushed a little when she saw the strange expression on Itsuka Kotori's face. For the first time, she turned her head away in embarrassment.

"I mean, elves are all very simple-minded, so..."

She subconsciously touched the little bear on her chest, with imperceptible tenderness and reminiscence in her lowered eyes.

"As long as you are sincere, you will definitely be able to capture the elves!"

Chapter 1227: Destined Name

“Ooooh, what is this strange feeling?”

“It’s just sweet.”

Looking at the elf with blushing cheeks, Gokawa Shiori asked a little confused.

"Haven't you eaten it?"

The elf girl codenamed Princess shook her head slightly, her cheeks puffed up slightly, and she learned by herself how to chew the candy to further release the sweetness in the candy.

"So what do you usually eat?"

Gokawa Shiori supported his face with one hand and asked curiously.

"I... don't need to eat."

The elf frowned slightly, looking a little lost.

“This is my first time eating food, and I didn’t expect it to taste so good.”

"But this isn't considered food, it's a snack at best. Eating this kind of snack doesn't count as a meal."

Seeing the elf girl's confused look, Gokawa Shiori took the opportunity to instill his own views into her, and someone in the sky couldn't help but bared his fangs when he heard it.

"..."

"what happened?"

The elf girl was silent for a moment, but after hearing Gokawa Shiori's question, she seemed to have realized something and turned to look at her.

"You, what's your name?"

"Eh?"

"I've seen those humans in armor use different words to address each other. They call it names. What about you? What's your name?"

If it was anyone else, anyone else, for the elf girl, the word human would be enough to describe them. However, this human being in front of her, who had become friends with her without her noticing, was special. He was an existence worth asking for his name and keeping in mind.

"Hmm, it suddenly became so formal."

Gokawa Shiori muttered softly, then cleared his throat and spoke.

"Itsuka Shiori, my name is Itsuka Shiori!"

"Gokawa, Shiori... I remember, Shiori."

"Hey, why are you...?"

Looking at the elf girl who looked as if nothing had happened, Gokawa Shiori was speechless for a moment.

Although she was the type who was often described as being outgoing, she was still a little caught off guard when she met someone who called her by her name as soon as he found out her name.

No, strictly speaking, my younger sister seems to have this tendency in the past two days. I have no respect for her at all. The word "sister" seems to have completely disappeared from that red head.

This is probably an elf.

"Is there a problem? I heard that those armored men all have names, but they only call each other by their first names."

The elf girl opened her crimson eyes wide and stared at her with pure eyes, unexpectedly giving people a sense of anticipation.

"Well, that's correct."

Gokawa Shiori scratched his head.

"So...Shiori."

The elf girl recalled the states of those armored men in her memory and spoke tentatively.

"Ah."

"Shiori, Shiori!"

"Uh-huh!"

Looking at the elf girl who was inexplicably excited, Gokawa Shiori responded a little embarrassedly, but the elf girl was unexpectedly very excited. After repeating this name-calling game several times, she returned to normal, but her mood was obviously better than before.

"Shiori."

"what happened?"

"I just realized that I don't seem to have a name. It didn't matter before, but now that I know Shiori, I can't continue like this."

The elf girl glanced at Gokawa Shiori secretly.

"Shiori, can you give me a name?"

"Oh, so I just want to give you a name, right? Let me think...hiss!"

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the voice of Kotori Itsuka coming from the headphones which had been silent for a while.

"Shizhi, don't act rashly. Listen to our opinions at this time!"

High in the sky above Ratatoskri, Kotori Itsuka hurriedly issued orders.

"Hurry up, come up with a good name!"

Naming is not a trivial matter. It is obviously not a good idea to name someone Zhang San or Li Si. After all, based on Gokawa Kotori's personal experience, sealing the elves is only the first step. There is still a long time to get along with them. If you are careless at this time, it will cause a rift that will be difficult to heal later. After all, the elves now are ignorant of the world, but that doesn't mean they will be like this in the future.

Then, a light screen appeared in front of everyone present, asking them to fill in their names. Even Wuming was given one, and he immediately began to write with great interest.

"Okay, thirty seconds have passed, let's collect the names and look at them together... Who wrote so many names?"

Kotori Itsuka took a quick glance and saw a large number of names behind an ID. She looked up and immediately looked at Wuming in surprise, and found that the latter was still concentrating on writing. She immediately looked at the names out of curiosity.

"You found so many names there, and they don't seem to be from the same place."

Hong Meiling looks like the naming style of the place across the sea, Richelieu doesn't even sound like a woman's name, and then there are some weird names like Miura Yumiko, Tsukiumi, and Yozora.

"Inspiration came to me. I can't help it. Which one do you think is more suitable?"

After Wuming filled in the name Bal at the end, he clapped his hands contentedly and asked.

“To be honest, I don’t think any of them are good.”

No matter how Kotori Itsuka looked at it, she felt something was wrong and she pouted in disgust.

"I feel like this [Enka] is not as good as this one."

Although this name comes from Nakatsugawa Munechika, who was so excited that his nostrils were snorting, and no one knew why he was so excited, but judging from the literal meaning, it at least sounds like a girl's name.

"Oh, Commander, do you also feel the beauty of this name?"

The middle-aged man twisted and turned in his seat with a suspicious blush on his face.

"A beautiful and strong elf girl, this name is perfect with her!"

"...Uh, I suddenly feel like I should think about it again."
