This is not the date I wanted.

As for money, although Mengyue can get a lot of money instantly by hacking into a bank to forge an account or stealing an ATM machine, it always feels empty to use ill-gotten gains. So Mengyue still chooses to anonymously perform bug detection or program programming for some companies online - this kind of work is still normal.

"what……"

Lying on the soft big bed in the hotel, Mengyue turned over, looked up at the flickering waves of lights on the ceiling, and sighed helplessly.

"so boring……"

Mengyue herself didn't understand why she said that.

Playing, studying, surfing the Internet. Except for the difference in gender, Meng Yue's life is basically the same as in her previous life.

The current self is different from the self in memory. He does not have to worry about being hunted by magicians, and can enter and leave human society at will. Even without Gokawa Shidao's seal, as long as he is willing, Meng Yue can completely hide his identity and settle down, find an ordinary job and live an ordinary life.

but--

(If only it were that simple...)

A hint of bitterness appeared on Mengyue's face.

Half a year passed, and although she had lived a fairly peaceful and comfortable life, Meng Yue was surprised to find that she had not established any interpersonal relationships in human society.

Otakus are not good at socializing - if that were true, Meng Yue might be a little happy. However, in reality, it was Meng Yue herself who was unconsciously avoiding too much socializing with others.

I am an elf. In half a year, this understanding has not only not faded, but has become clearer in Meng Yue's mind.

In the end, no matter how cleverly one hides in human society, the fact that one is an elf will not change at all.

Although she lives in an ordinary world, the gun hidden in her arms always reminds Mengyue that she is not from this world.

Of course, Meng Yue wasn't so neurotic as to be anxious because of this. She just wanted to be like her - to have one or two friends with whom she could confide.

People are like this, once they have everything they need at the moment, they will quickly go back to craving for what they don't have, they are greedy creatures that can never be satisfied.

18 Different Worlds, Same Person (Part )

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

The next day, Mengyue came to a forest in North America.

It has to be said that after losing the chain reaction brought about by the space shock, the disappearance and reappearance that originally made her anxious has become a very convenient and efficient means of long-distance movement, allowing her to travel around the world at will.

"It should be almost time."

Sitting on a big rock, Meng Yue used electric shock to scare away the brown bear that wanted to attack her. Meng Yue took out a lunch box from the pocket of her windbreaker and looked up at the sky, as if waiting for something.

Soon, the sunny blue sky gradually turned gloomy. As two black vortex clouds approached, violent wind and rain covered the entire forest.

Plop! The lunch box in Meng Yue's hand was blown to the ground by the strong wind, and the food inside was scattered in the mud.

Of course, Mengyue herself didn't deliberately hold on.

"——It's really amazing. Xixian, the other half of my body! You are able to hold on until now in the face of my absolute power. You deserve praise!"

"You're joking. It's Yui who has the upper hand. Yakuya is the one at a disadvantage."

It was like a memory reappearing. Two orange-haired women in straitjackets were arguing tit-for-tat in the eyes of the two storms.

In the previous world, Meng Yue met her first and best friend.

Ratziel (Dawn Sage) - Pincer turret.

The dark blue mechanical bow transformed into a turret and fixed on Mengyue's wrist. The surrounding iron sand gathered at the muzzle under the control of electromagnetic force.

(Well, I don’t want to become that scumbag’s harem, but it would be stupid to abandon the friends I could have made because of this.)

Thinking silently in his heart, Meng Yue pointed the gun between the two of them.

——The White Tyrant is my great predecessor!

"Railgun! You two, give me my lunch back!!!!!!!!!"

Just like that, it was the same as in the previous world. Under Mengyue's superb acting skills, Yui and Yakuya felt guilty when they saw Mengyue kneeling in front of the lunch box and crying. They discussed making a lunch to make amends for Mengyue.

Then, naturally, the two people who were still at an incompatible stage naturally quarreled over whose cooking skills were better, and finally had a cooking competition with Mengyue as the referee.

However, since Mengyue overturned the bento instead of the barbecue this time, she suggested going to the human city to buy ingredients and kitchen utensils, and let Yakushiya, Yui and the others cook.

(What was their mentality when they caught Siberian tigers and great white sharks for barbecue?)

Recalling the contents of her memory, Meng Yue couldn't help but feel the corners of her eyes twitching.

Not giving the two of them time to force herself to do anything illegal, Mengyue, who had bought the things, said this while Yui and Yakuya were preparing food.

"By the way, after the dishes are served, the cooks themselves have to taste their own dishes. You know, if they dare to make something charcoal--"

Uh——hearing this, Yakuya and Yui's bodies stiffened. Looking at Mengyue's kind smile with inexplicable power, beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads due to embarrassment.

"Of course - as the daughter of a hurricane, I will definitely serve the best food!"

"It's ridiculous. How could Xixian make something like this?"

"Hmph - I hope so..."

Meng Yue snorted lightly and felt relieved for the moment. After all, she had revealed all the secrets in advance, so there was no way she would knowingly commit a crime.

However, Mengyue found that she was too sweet.

"Tell me how you guys turned the lunch box into charcoal when it was just a lunch box!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mengyue kept her promise without hesitation and stuffed the two black unknown substances in front of her into the mouths of Xixian and Yakushi.

Although Mengyue had no intention of deciding the winner between Xixian and Yakuya, since both of them were undoubtedly eliminated, the game ended inconclusively.

In desperation, Meng Yue could only pick out the remaining ingredients to prepare the meal. The result was the same as in the previous world. By the time the three of them had their meal, lunch had turned into dinner.

"Delicious! I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."

"Awesome. Please marry Xixian as your wife."

"--roll!"

Meng Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance.

(Really? Not long ago, he ran to the river to vomit and have diarrhea because he ate the black unknown substance he made. Now he is eating it with such gusto. Should I say he is optimistic or heartless?)

Looking at the Yami sisters who looked happy because of her cooking, Meng Yue sighed helplessly.

However, it must be admitted that it is a very happy thing for Mengyue to have someone to accompany her for dinner.

"Na..."

After chatting with the Yamai sisters for a while, Meng Yue swallowed a little, mustered up her determination and spoke,

"Well... it's fate that we are both elves and meet here. How about we be friends?"

Maybe it was because she hadn’t taken the initiative to ask someone to make friends in a long time, but Meng Yue felt her voice was a little nervous.

Hearing Mengyue's words, Xixian and Yakuya first widened their eyes in surprise, looked at each other, and then shook their heads at Mengyue with a smile.

"Thank you, electronic spirit. I am also very happy to meet you, but let's forget about the contract. Yamai is carrying the irreversible fire of sin. If you get too close, you will only be affected and burned."

"Refuse. Although I am happy, your friendship with Xixian is too deep, and it will only hurt you."

"Varied--"

Seeing that Yui and Yakushi rejected her, Mengyue was speechless, and then she understood what they were thinking.

(Am I stupid?!)

Meng Yue clenched her hands into fists and couldn't help but want to scold herself.

Yui and Yakuya are not sisters, but two individuals of an elf separated by an accident. They both know that one day, the two elves will merge into one, and the consciousness of one will be replaced and disappear.

That's why they did this, deciding Yamai's main personality through a duel.

Obviously, both of them were burdened with such a cruel fate, but he actually used their kindness to relieve his loneliness just for his own selfish desires.

(I... am such a scumbag.)

——————————————I have reached the dividing line of daytime————————————————————

"The priestess of thunder and lightning? You don't look well. Were you not focused enough in meditation last night?"

"Worried. Could it be that you care about what Xixian said yesterday?"

"Ha~ It's okay. I'm just a little used to sleeping in a hotel bed, so I'm a little uncomfortable sleeping outside."

After a long yawn and looking at the worried faces of the Yami sisters, Mengyue smiled bitterly and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.

Afterwards, the three of them fell into silence. Perhaps because they rejected Mengyue’s request to make friends yesterday, Yui and Yakuya felt awkward and didn’t know what to say.

After a while, Meng Yue spoke first.

"By the way, in exchange for yesterday's dinner, can you agree to one of my requests?"

"Of course, equal exchange is the eternal truth of the world. For the sumptuous dinner last night, I will definitely give you a satisfactory request."

"Reconsideration. Xixian will try her best to meet your request."

"thank you."

Seeing Yui and Yakuya nodding without hesitation, Mengyue couldn't help but smile.

Last night, Meng Yue stayed awake all night, constantly thinking about how to save Yawu and how to make the two of them coexist peacefully without fighting. With her knowledge of spiritual power and understanding of elves, Meng Yue came up with many possible methods.

But in the end, these methods were all rejected by Mengyue without exception.

Because she knew very well that the best solution had already been found, but she just didn't want to admit it.

(What are you doing...are you a child?)

Meng Yue couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart.

Xixian and Yakuya, the two of them did not want to survive. On the contrary, they both hoped that the other party could win and live happily in this world. It was because of this that even after being pointed out by Mengyue, they still knowingly made a pile of black charcoal in an attempt to let the other party win.

There is already a bright future waiting for them, so why should I add more to it?

Giving up the idea of ​​competing, Meng Yue took a deep breath, looked at the first pair of friends she met after coming to this world, and said softly.

"If... one day, you meet a boy named Gokawa Shidao, remember to ask him to be your referee."

"Itsuka Shido? Who is that person?"

"Question. An acquaintance of yours?"

Xixian and Yakushi asked in confusion. In response, Mengyue smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"He is just a stranger. But I know he is different from me. If it is him, he can give you the best answer that you can coexist without fighting each other and no one will disappear."

““——!?”

Yuxian and Yakushiya unconsciously widened their eyes.

"It's okay even if you don't believe me. Just remember it. Until then, I hope you can get along well with each other as good friends, even beyond winning or losing."

After a long time, Yajuya sighed and scratched his cheek in distress.

“…Eh. I don’t remember saying that, but I feel like I’ve been seen through. Do you have an all-seeing demon eye?”

"Nod. Aside from Yakuya's mystical eyes that can see into the future (laughs), Yui has the same feeling."

"Xixian, what did you say!!!"

"puff--"

Seeing Yajuya’s angry look, Mengyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Uh-huh--"

Hearing Mengyue's laughter, Yakushi suddenly reacted, coughed awkwardly, and returned to his middle school tone.

"Kuku - since you already know that you have touched that taboo, then what I said before is outdated, and the contract is established. My compatriot, I will keep your advice in mind."

"Sigh. If there really is such an answer, maybe it's really good."

Nodding slightly, Xi Xian seemed to suddenly think of something and asked curiously,

"Ask a question. Come to think of it, Xixian doesn't even know your name."

"Name?" Meng Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, just call me Hacker."

"Gu——You can say such a name in a natural tone. I'm surprised that you and I get along well."

"Surprised, what a strange name."

"Well~ don't worry about the small details."
