This is not the date I wanted.

Sitting next to the fire, Yakushiya sighed with happiness as he enjoyed the dishes made from the food he had caught.

"I am greedy. Shark fin made from shark is surprisingly delicious."

Sitting next to Yakuya, Yui used chopsticks carved from wood to pick up the remaining shark fins on the wooden board and kept putting them into her mouth.

"Ah, so cunning. Give me some of the shark fin too."

"No. Yakuya is the one who shared the barbecue!"

"I say...can you guys please stop quarreling during meals?"

Sitting opposite the two of them, tasting the bear paw meat she had longed for, Meng Yue sighed a little helplessly.

When Yakushiya and Yuigen heard Mengyue's words, they felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Mengyue. In the end, it was you who had to treat me to dinner."

"Shame on you. I'm eating here without any apology."

"It's okay. It's not bad anyway. It feels a bit like camping in the wild."

To be honest, this was the first time someone had dinner with me since I came to this world. I was quite happy about this feeling.

This was a rare opportunity, and Meng Yue couldn't help but chat with the Yami sisters.

During the conversation, Meng Yue was a little surprised to find that in fact, Yakuya and Yui had a very good relationship. Although the two of them bickered from time to time, they still liked each other. If Yakuya's mouth was stained with oil, Yui would wipe it clean considerately. And if Yui wanted to eat something, Yakuya would immediately understand and pass the food to him.

Not to mention being sworn enemies, even if they have a good relationship, even Lily Mengyue would believe it if she said it was Yuri Mengyue.

"I say, from the beginning you have been talking about 'who is worthy of the name of Yamai'. What do you mean? And the same goes for that weird cooking competition. I always feel like there is something strange about it."

When Meng Yue asked this question, the atmosphere at the scene fell into a temporary silence. Finally, the Yamai sisters spoke:

"That's true. Meng Yue has been dragged into this. If I continue to hide it, it will only show how selfish I am."

"I agree. Meng Yue has the right to know the truth of the matter."

After Yakushiya and Yui's explanation, Mengyue finally understood the whole story.

Yakuya and Yui are not sisters, but two individuals who were originally one Yamai spirit and were accidentally split into two when it appeared in the world.

At the moment of their birth, Yakuya and Yui understood one thing: one day, the two spirits will merge into one again and return to the original Yamai.

Since the original personality of the Yawu spirit has disappeared, when the two merge into one, Yawu's main personality will be one of them, so before that, they try to use a duel to decide who will become Yawu's main personality.

The losing party will undoubtedly disappear.

"Why didn't you explain such an important thing to me first, you bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mengyue was now furious and pulled the faces of Yakushiya and Yui and cursed them.

"It hurts! Xie Shen was caught. Xie Shen was caught for directing funds! (I was wrong. I know I was wrong.)"

"Shoe mouth! Every time Xixiang's self-directed funds are caught, write it down! (Apologize! Mengyue Xixian knows that he is wrong, please calm down!)."

"Really... have you ever considered my feelings?"

Fortunately, Meng Yue didn't choose either side because both sides were too bad. Otherwise, no matter who she chose, Meng Yue, as the direct cause of the other party's disappearance, would definitely spend her whole life with guilt.

Yakuya and Yui also realized their mistakes, lowered their heads in shame and kept silent.

Meng Yue had every reason to be angry at this moment, but when she thought about how the two of them had even used threats to demand that she let the other win, her anger suddenly disappeared.

"…I'll forgive you this time. This time the two of you are tied. I have no objection to you finding someone to be the referee, but you must explain everything clearly first, okay?"

"Hmm...I understand."

"Understood. Keep this warning in mind."

The atmosphere was extremely bad. Meng Yue really had no appetite to continue eating, so she left. She jumped lightly onto a tree, lay down on the trunk, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

To be honest, there has never been a time when Mengyue wanted to "disappear" more than now.

After looking at each other, Yawu and the other person found a place to sleep.

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

"Oh, Mengyue, I am grateful for your service the day before yesterday. I will treat you well next time we meet."

"Goodbye. Thank you for your hospitality yesterday."

"Are you leaving?" Meng Yue said a little reluctantly.

After a night's sleep, the mood of the three people suddenly improved a lot, and everyone deliberately avoided mentioning the embarrassment caused last night.

but……

"Can't we just maintain the status quo?"

Hearing Mengyue's question, Yawu and the others showed a helpless yet happy smile.

"Thank you for your concern, my good friend, but the union of 'Yama' is an irresistible fate. The winner between me and Xixian must be decided."

"Affirmative. Please don't mention such things again."

"...I understand. But please grant me one request."

Meng Yue knew that what she said was indeed very willful. But she still couldn't bear to let the two of them go to such a fate, and after hesitating for a while, she decided to speak.

"Oh, my good friend. Just ask me if you have anything you want! I will make you feel lucky to be my friend."

"Reconsideration. Xixian will also try her best to meet Mengyue's requirements."

Looking at the first pair of friends she had made since she came into this world, Meng Yue said sincerely: "I hope that besides competing for victory or defeat, you two can be good friends and get along well with each other."

"Ah? What are you talking about? I've already told you that the holy war between me and Xi Xian is inevitable..."

"But there is no conflict between friends and enemies~"

Meng Yue blinked her eyes mischievously and couldn't help laughing when she saw the two people's stunned expressions.

"Speechless. This is just a quibble." Xixian sighed, "Answer. It turned out to be a request from a friend, so Xixian agreed reluctantly."

"What do you mean by reluctantly?" Yakuya was furious for a moment, then she came to her senses and coughed twice. She resumed her exaggerated tone and said, "If your wish is like this, it's not impossible for me to give it a try."

"Yeah. I see. Bon voyage then."

"Of course, you should know that I am a witch who controls the wind!"

"Wrong. Meng Yue just said that as a simple farewell."

"Such a noise! ​​Do you think I don't even know this little thing?"

The elf who controls the wind comes as suddenly as the wind and leaves as noisily as the wind.

Just after watching the two people leave, Meng Yue suddenly turned around and punched the tree.

"Boom!" The old tree, which looked to be decades old, collapsed under the strong physical fitness of the elf.

"Ah~ I feel much better!"

Meng Yue patted the dust off her hands, sat on the fallen tree trunk, stared blankly at the sky, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Cherish the present... This is all I can do."

08 The strongest magician (wizard)

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

"I didn't expect that hackers would just use the information they got to do this kind of thing."

Looking at the information on the computer in his hand, Westcott sighed with a hint of displeasure.

The content is a report on the hacker's incoming actions.

"What do you mean it's just this little thing?"

Alan walked out from the pile of documents almost furiously, and almost picked up a document and threw it at his boss' face.

Recently, wherever hackers appear, there are constant calls for complaints.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Hacker has the ability to disable the unit equipped with the tactical display device, which has caused panic among local organizations. Naturally, DEM, which is responsible for the invention and sale of the display device, has become the first target of everyone's criticism.

Like now, the entire DEM is flooded with phone calls.

Allen's desk was almost filled with complaint documents from various branches. Allen was furious when his boss was drinking coffee leisurely, saying "this is what a secretary should do".

"But think about it, the hacker deceived our artificial AI and stole a lot of precious data. Those contents can not only crack the manifestation device, but also directly bankrupt our DEM company. If it were me, I would have spread all the technology and data to all parts of the world. Or I would have opened a secret factory to mass-produce substandard weapons to conquer the world and make the elves the masters of the world."

Compared to the person in front of her, Meng Yue's thoughts were as gentle as an angel's.

If someone else heard this, they would probably suspect that Westes was a spy sent from somewhere else. But Allen, who knew Westes' character well, was very clear about his thoughts and said, "Please stop for a while." Then he changed the subject.

"In short, the hacker problem must be solved quickly. Otherwise, I will go crazy."

Looking at the complaint text messages that kept coming to the computer, Alan felt for the first time how annoying this civilized tool of computers was.

At this moment, a strong siren sounded, but the sound was not a hacker intrusion alarm like last time. Instead, it was an early warning siren with English evacuation information coming from a city not far away.

Space quake alert!

"This is such a coincidence. Is this what the Chinese saying 'Speak of the devil and he will appear' means?"

As if he saw something incredible, Wests screamed exaggeratedly and turned the computer to Alan.

A girl with long flowing brown hair, wearing what appears to be a school uniform with a black windbreaker on top, holding a life-size dark blue longbow, is standing in a large bowl-shaped hole.

"…I have something important to do so I need to go out."

Ailu pushed the chair away and stood up, walking towards the exit with an unstoppable powerful aura.

"Alan, if possible, please capture her alive. How can we do that?"

After hearing what Wests said, Allen stood still in front of the opened automatic door for a while, sighed unbearably, and then said, "Of course, I am the strongest wizard in the world."

————————————————————————————－I am the dividing line for changing perspectives————————————————————————————————————————

The destroyed streets seemed to have disappeared.

I can only think of a big crater caused by a meteorite impact. Convenience stores, buildings, playgrounds, the scenery in front of me was cut into a shallow bowl.

“Has it come again to the cities of men?”

Looking at the scenery that she had become accustomed to in a sense, Meng Yue couldn't help but frown in distress.

To be honest, although Meng Yue has always wanted to enter human society, after realizing that her arrival would only bring disaster, she was afraid that her space earthquake would harm the citizens who did not have time to take shelter. Rather than the city, Meng Yue preferred to descend to a remote area with no human contact.

But if this happens, will I end up becoming a savage?

I imagine myself playing Tarzan in the jungle out of boredom in the future. That's too tragic in every sense, so I'd better forget it.

"Hmm~ This area. Um, England?"

Meng Yue took out her tablet and found out where she was on the Internet. Her face suddenly froze.

Why? It seems that the headquarters of DEM, the display device store that was hacked a few months ago, is nearby.

When she thought about all the information she had obtained during the intrusion, Meng Yue had a hundred reasons to be sure that she had definitely been included in the company's list of people to be silenced.

However, the company's original goal seemed to be to kill the elves, so it didn't seem to matter whether there was a grudge or not.

Although the elven opposition forces that should have appeared at this time on normal days did not appear, Mengyue still summoned the "Sage of Dawn" out of caution.

Sure enough, not long after, a white dot was seen flying from a distance. Judging from the observed speed, it was slower than the super-standard speed of the Eight Dance Spirit.

After a few seconds, the other person's figure had become visible to the naked eye.

Unlike the production-type "wiring suit" usually equipped by the elf anti-troops, the suit covers all parts of the body and is almost represented by mechanical armor. And the huge sword-shaped equipment on the back looks even more conspicuous.

"Pendragon"

Meng Yue whispered the name of the mecha. When she saw the design in the DEM database, she knew that this mecha named after King Arthur. In theory, its numerical value can completely match that of the elves. It can be said to be the strongest mecha designed by humans.

It was as if she had ignored the inertia of mechanics and stopped suddenly. The transformation from high-speed movement to absolute stillness was completed in an instant, which made Meng Yue dumbfounded by the skills of the woman with long light blonde hair.

"As expected, you were the one who hacked into DEM's AI that day? Hacker!"

"So what if it is?"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after she admitted it, Meng Yue seemed to be able to feel the strong resentment from the other person.

"Even though Ike said he wanted to capture him alive, it would be fine if he was beaten to a pulp and brought back half-dead!"

At that moment, Meng Yue felt that she was dead.

No, to be exact, he had a premonition of his own death.
