This is not the date I wanted.

Just when Shidao was thinking about the task of being a househusband, he heard his sister's voice. It was a wireless invisible headset equipped for convenient communication with Fraxinus when conquering elves. Since it was highly waterproof, Shidao did not take it off and took a shower directly.

"What's wrong, Kotori?"

Kotori calls her brother by his name, and it seems that she has switched to the serious "commander mode".

"There are some things worth paying attention to. I am now in Fraxinus's airship. Come here after you take a shower."

Although he wanted to ask some questions, but hearing the seriousness in Kotori's words, Shidou decided to ask again on the spot.

——————————————————————I am the dividing line of space jumping——————————————————————————————————————————————————

"What's the matter? Why did you suddenly call me here? If it's Elf, the space quake alarm hasn't sounded yet?"

After changing into casual clothes and arriving at the airship, Shidou asked Kotori who was standing in the commander's position.

"You are so stupid, Shidao. When did you become a single-celled organism with such a simple thinking circuit? Do you need me to put my foot on your head and rub it a few times to make you understand?"

"Really, really!"

In response to Kotori's sharp tongue, the tall and handsome man standing next to Kotori - Deputy Commander Kannazuki Kyohei responded before Shidou, his words full of envy and excitement.

"It's not you!"

"Pfft! Thank you so much..."

After being hit in the abdomen by Kotori's powerful punch, Kannazuki showed an incomparable expression of happiness on his face the moment he fell to the ground.

"Um...what happened that called me here?"

Seeing the scene that he had become accustomed to, Shidou silently felt sad for his habit in his heart, and changed the subject with a wry smile.

"Really... Let's take a look at this video first."

The ship's analyst - Murasame Reine. A woman with dark circles under her eyes, staggering as she walks, and looking very sleep deprived, for some reason she is also Shidao's physics teacher.

When she called him by the wrong name, Shidou tried to correct her at first, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he had no choice but to admit it.

Looking at the big screen in front of him, Shidao saw a very incredible scene.

This is a video of the earth taken from a satellite. It can be clearly seen that the originally sandy white area was suddenly covered by a large area of ​​black clouds, as if darkness had swallowed up the earth. When the dark clouds dispersed, the original area had completely turned into a charred black.

"This, this is..."

Shidou's face showed an expression of shock that he couldn't understand.

"Thunderclouds are clouds that can strike with lightning. Don't you know this knowledge, Shidao?"

Kotori sneered disdainfully, and the screen randomly switched to the image on the other end.

The rising black smoke and the charred earth, whether it was the hills, cliffs or plains, all seemed to be covered with a layer of industrial charcoal slag. There was no sign of life at all, as if the land itself was dead, making people feel like they were seeing the end of the world.

"A week ago, a large thundercloud suddenly appeared in the desert of area XXX. It split the entire desert into charcoal ash and then suddenly dispersed."

Reine explained the current situation to Shidou, who looked stunned.

"How is it possible... such an unscientific thing..."

Halfway through his speech, Shidou seemed to understand something and fell silent, muttering two words: "Elf."

"Ah~ Do you finally understand, stupid Shidou?"

A smile appeared on Kotori's face. Although she said it harshly, she still affirmed Shidou's guess.

The main reason why elves are called catastrophic life forms is the space shock phenomenon that will occur when they descend, and the disasters that the elves will cause with their own abilities afterwards.

This unreasonable natural disaster is most likely caused by elves.

"Fortunately, the lightning struck a desert area with little life. If it was a human settlement..."

Without Kotori continuing, Shidou understood the seriousness of the situation. If a natural disaster of this kind, which was even comparable to a space earthquake, were to strike a human area, the city would probably be destroyed before anyone could take refuge.

"What kind of elf would do such a thing?"

"Wait... I'm looking for a spirit that can use lightning..."

"Oh~ This kind of thunder that seems to tear everything apart, could it be that it is the thunder and lightning priestess, my and Xixian's best friend?"

"Definitely. There's no doubt that the one who can do this is Meng Yue."

Just when everyone in Fraxinus was busy working in front of their computers, suddenly two cheerful voices, which were different from the serious atmosphere at the moment, came from behind.

One of them is a girl with long hair tied up and a strong attitude. Her characteristics are her luxurious body that will break if you tighten it, and her arrogant expression that does not match it.

The other was a girl with her long hair braided into three strands. She opened her eyes halfway weakly, but her beautiful face and model-like well-proportioned body kept attracting Shidou's attention.

These two are the sisters Yamai Yakuya and Yamai Yuzuru whose spiritual powers were sealed by Shidao during the school trip.

"Yakuya, Yui... Do you know the spirit that left this mark?"

Under the curious gaze of everyone, the Yami sisters nodded affirmatively.

"Of course, he was the first friend I recognized before Shidou."

"Guarantee. It is undoubtedly Yui and Yakuya's friend Ryougi Yumezuki."

PS: I don't know why, after finishing this chapter, I suddenly want to chop Shidao. Calm down! My right arm, it's not time to unseal it yet...

01 A Day in the Life of Itsuka Shido (Part )

==============================

"Hey! Shidou, what's wrong? You seem a little listless."

In the afternoon, Shidao was walking on a shopping street. The girl who was walking with him had long hair that reached her waist like the night sky. She was a girl with an extremely beautiful appearance—Yatogami Tohka. Her amethyst-like clear eyes were looking at Shidao with great concern.

"Ah? Sorry, I was lost in thought for a moment. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Coming back to his senses from his distracted state, Shidou felt a little sorry for Tohka who was worried about him.

"Really? That's good." Tohka felt relieved after hearing that, and then said with shining eyes, "Speaking of which, Shidou! What's for dinner today?"

Although Tohka has now moved into an apartment exclusively for elves, she often goes to Shidou's house for three meals a day.

Looking at the golden light shining in Tohka's eyes, Shidou smiled.

"That's right. Today the uncle in the store gave me some leftover potatoes as a gift. Curry is a bit too much for summer... Let's have potato stew and cream stew for dinner!"

"Oh - it sounds delicious! I'm looking forward to it."

"Uh...it's not something that great, just an ordinary home-cooked meal."

I don't know if she heard Shidou's explanation or not, but Tohka was jumping in front, humming some unknown tune, looking very excited.

Looking at the headband swaying happily with Tohka's steps, Shidou sighed with a look of "there's really nothing I can do" and walked home with a smile.

Although he said it was okay, on the way, Shidou couldn't help but recall the previous conversation with the Yamai sisters.

——————————————————————————————I am the dividing line that falls into memories——————————————————————————————————————————

"Liang Yi Meng Yue? Is that the name of the spirit that caused this phenomenon?"

After learning that the Yamai sisters knew the spirits that charred the desert, according to the request of Yakuya and Yuzuru, the place of conversation was moved to a separate room. However, Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yakuya seemed to have some reservations, so they were only willing to talk to Shidao, Shidao's sister Kotori, and Murasame Reion, whom they had met before.

"Well, about half a year ago, when I and Xixian were on our way to our fiftieth duel, we accidentally ran into an elf that had just landed there, my compatriot who controlled the power of lightning - Liangyi Mengyue."

"I was really shocked at that time. I didn't expect that someone could intervene in the battle between Yui and Yakuya."

Yakuya and Yui seemed to be lost in memories, with nostalgic expressions on their faces.

"This is really hard to believe. I didn't expect that the elves that descended to the human world could actually meet other elves. The probability is so small."

"That's true, but in theory there's really nothing strange about it."

Kotori had an expression that was perhaps difficult to accept, and Reine had the same expression, but she still maintained a relatively objective view.

Shidou had a limited understanding of the phenomenon of spirits appearing in the world, so he accepted this the fastest and asked:

"And then, did Yakuya, Yui and that... Miss Ryougi fight?"

At this point, the Yami sisters showed a little embarrassment and coughed twice.

"Yeah! Um... that was because the battle between me and Xixian was getting intense, so I temporarily ignored Mengyue's existence. As a result, I accidentally angered Mengyue."

"Additional information. I knocked over Meng Yue's lunch."

The elves that descended into the human world...are having lunch?

After hearing this, the three people opposite seemed stunned and looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

"...It doesn't mean that elves don't need to eat."

"Indeed, I would get angry if someone disturbed me while I was eating."

However, it seems that although Reine and Kotori felt a little weird, they still convinced themselves to accept it.

However, at this time, the Yami sisters ignored the reactions of the other three and started to recall their memories.

"That's right Meng Yue is really scary. It seems like she thinks of me as the murderer of her father."

"I agree. It really hurts to be struck by lightning."

Shidao listened to the conversation between the two quietly and gradually understood the whole story.

The elf whose lunch was overturned gave up and grieved silently by himself after the Yamai sisters apologized. After seeing this scene, the Yamai sisters felt a little guilty and decided to make a barbecue dish as compensation. As a result, because the two were in a competitive state at the time, they quarreled in the middle of the discussion. They decided to compete to see whose dish was better, and the result became the winner of the unfinished 50th duel. The elf named Liangyi Mengyue was inexplicably dragged into the referee of this competition... Why do I feel like I'm seeing it?

Hearing this, Reine and Kotori looked at Shidou with subtle expressions.

“This is simply…”

"Same situation as the real one."

Apart from the differences in gender identity and content of the competition, the elf's situation at the time was exactly the same as Shidou's when he was dragged by Yamai to be a referee during the school trip.

"Oh! Now that you mention it, they do look alike, Shidou."

"I agree. Mengyue and Shidou might be surprisingly similar."

"Haha. Thank you so much." Shidao laughed helplessly twice, and then thought about what happened during the school trip. He unconsciously resonated with the elf he had never seen before.

"Then who won the game?"

Originally Shidou just wanted to change the subject, but who knew that Yui and Yakuya would show expressions of pain that had never been seen before, hugging each other with pale faces, and their bodies were shaking with wailing.

"You asked a question that shouldn't have been asked, Shidao. That was the only failure in my life. That turbid darkness had long been abandoned to the deepest part of the subspace. You actually made me recall it again."

"Cold war. Even the one I love the most, Shidou, can't ask this question. As long as that memory appears in my mind, Yui will lose the confidence to enter the kitchen."

"Ah? No... I didn't have that intention... Anyway, I'm really sorry!"

Although he didn't know what he said wrong, Shidou felt that the situation was not good and wisely chose to apologize.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. The spirit that caused this world-destroying scene. You can assume it's your friend Liang Yi Meng Yue."

In response to Kotori's question, Yui and Yakuya nodded affirmatively.

"Of course. How could I possibly forget the unique skills of my compatriots?"

"Definitely. The method that produces lightning is definitely Meng Yue without a doubt."

"So do you know why she did this?"

Regarding this point, Yakuya and Yui shook their heads in confusion.

"I don't know. From what I know, Meng Yue would never do such a thing."

"I don't understand. Meng Yue is very scary when she's angry, but in fact, no matter what she does, she is much more measured than Yamai and the others."

“Maybe Mengyue wasn’t in a very good mood at that time.”

"I guess maybe Meng Yue encountered a powerful enemy at that time."

Actually, it's both...

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about."

After hearing what Yakuya and Yui said, Shidou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Too sweet! Too naive! Shidou! Do you think it's that simple?"

After Yakuya and Yui followed Reine to do the rest of the physical examination and confirmed that the sound would not reach Yamai, Kotori severely reprimanded Shido.

"But, Yakuya and Yui said not to worry..."

"Did I say you're an idiot... Never mind. It's because of your personality that you're trusted by the elves."

Seeing Shidou's self-conscious expression, Kotori first held her head in pain, then sighed in giving up and said.
