I don't want to be an elf!

The girl and the girl looked into each other's eyes.

However, she saw no trace of malevolence or cruelty befitting the daughter of a demon king in this Nibekol.

When Nibekol saw the girl, her intelligent blue eyes lit up.

For some reason, a sense of foreboding rose in the girl's heart.

This Nibekor... seems a bit different from what was advertised...

Just as she was about to ask something, Nibekol spoke first, uttering a single word that left her utterly bewildered.

"mom!"

Chapter Two: The Fake Nun in the Church (Refresh)

A quarter of an hour later.

After using two item cards and preparing for action in this world, Nia Honjou, following the implanted memories, led Nibekor to find their home in this world.

Tokyo is divided into peripheral wards, outer wards, and central wards. The further in you go, the higher the housing prices are, but the safer they are.

As a poor manga artist, Nia Honjo naturally couldn't afford the rent in the Chuo Ward.

Following her memory, she arrived at the outer district and stood in front of a church next to several dilapidated apartments. Honjou Nia's lips twitched a few times.

"Now the fake nun has become a real nun. I never thought that even her place of residence would be a church."

This is a typical church with a strong Catholic Christian style, standing out conspicuously among a group of low-rise, cheap apartments.

However, unlike those cathedrals that can accommodate hundreds of people at once, this is just a very small church, which can probably hold no more than fifty people at a time.

The church itself looked dusty and neglected, lacking any sense of sacredness.

Upon seeing the church, new fragments of memory surfaced in her mind, giving her a certain understanding of the building.

This is a Catholic church that has long been abandoned.

The reason for its abandonment is that no one believes in religion anymore. Even the most devout priests and nuns have no choice but to abandon their faith and return to the masses in this apocalyptic world.

After all, the so-called gods did not come to save the world.

In that case, people have no reason to believe in gods.

Meanwhile, those charlatans who claimed the disaster was a 'trial given to mankind by the gods' were brutally beaten to death by the angry crowd.

In addition, local governments around the world have been rapidly consolidating power in order to win over the people, suppressing religious beliefs both overtly and covertly, and preventing the emergence of fanatics. As a result of these various reasons, secular religions have almost all disappeared and become history.

Because this church is too far from the center of Tokyo and occupies a small area, it would have been better not to demolish it, and thus it survived.

After that, the abandoned church became Nia Honjo's home.

With practiced ease, she picked up the key hidden under the potted plant next to the door and opened the church door.

The interior of the church has been completely renovated. The seats for believers and the statue of Jesus have long been thrown away. There is no trace of sacred solemnity. Instead, it is filled with the everyday atmosphere of daily life.

Although it was her first day in this world, according to the virtual life created by the system, she had already lived here for several years.

Because of her memory, everything around her was very familiar to her, giving people a warm and relaxing feeling.

"Mom, what's for dinner?"

After returning home, Nibekol appeared even more relaxed than Nia Honjo, casually saying, "You still have some potatoes you bought on sale last month? How about we stir-fry some potato shreds and eat them with yesterday's leftovers?"

Although Nibelkol was an independent sub-spirit created by the system after using the sub-spirit summoning ticket, Nibelkol, as Nia Honjou's partner, naturally received the same treatment because Nia Honjou also used the identity fabrication ticket.

In other words, both of them have a virtual life in this world.

In their memories, the two had been relying on each other for a long time, and their relationship was almost like that of a mother and daughter.

Although Nia Honjo was nearly shocked when Nibekol first called her "Mom," she gradually became immune to the term as more fragments of memory entered her mind.

"I'm exhausted!"

Nia Honjo kicked off her shoes, sprawled out on the sofa without any decorum, and shouted like a salted fish, "I've already worked hard enough today, I don't want to cook anything!"

When she was alone, the system did not require her to maintain the role she was playing.

Although Nibekol was a companion she summoned using an elf summoning ticket, he still needed to maintain a facade in front of her.

However, being lazy wasn't entirely for the sake of playing the role of Honjou Nia.

She had just transmigrated here, and was fighting Muzan Kibutsuji just ten minutes ago. Even though she still had plenty of physical strength, she couldn't help but feel mentally exhausted.

"It shouldn't take much time to make a plate of shredded potatoes, right?"

"It's not a matter of how much time it takes, it's that I'm completely exhausted and can't continue!"

"Don't say things like a video game character!"

"If Nini wants potatoes so badly, why doesn't she just make them herself?"

Nia Honjo buried her head in the sofa and mumbled, "You've reached the age where it's time to try learning to cook. You've seen stir-fried potato shreds countless times, so you must know how to make it, right? Why don't you start cooking today to repay your mother for raising you?"

"Huh... how could this happen..."

Nibekol frowned.

But she still chose to go into the kitchen, and, imitating how Nia Honjo cooked as she remembered, took out the ingredients and knives.

Watching the figures bustling about in the kitchen, Honjou Nia lay on the sofa, seemingly doing nothing, but in her mind she was thinking about future plans.

After using the Identity Fabrication Ticket and the Sub-Elf Summoning Ticket, she had met her most basic needs.

Although her dwelling was rather shabby, and she had to submit her manuscripts on time every month just to make ends meet, and the summoned elf companions didn't seem very reliable, she had managed to establish herself in this world.

Next, we need to consider how to complete the task.

Leaving aside the main quest in this world for now, because Nia Honjou has absolutely no idea how to spread the gospel, all she can do is focus on the three side quests.

"Hmm... I guess I still need to get in touch with the main characters of this world."

The first side quest requires her to cooperate with the Holy Emperor.

The second side mission requires her to create a gastrovirus blocking agent.

The third side quest requires her to build a shelter for the cursed children in Tokyo.

"If I can get in touch with Rentaro Satomi and the others, the difficulty of the three side quests will be greatly reduced," Nia Honjo thought. "That means I need to figure out a way to make contact with them."

These three side quests are all more or less related to the main characters of this world.

At the same time, all three side quests are long-term missions, none of which can be completed in a short period of time. Therefore, the earlier you make contact with the main characters, the faster you can complete the missions.

However, how to contact them is the problem.

"Good afternoon, Sister Erya! I've come to visit Ani!"

Just then, a cheerful child's voice came from the church entrance.

Honjo Niya got up and looked back.

Standing at the door was a little girl with a schoolbag on her back and her long orange-red hair tied into pigtails.

"Enju! Don't cause trouble for others!"

Behind the girl, a young man in uniform followed breathlessly.

Nia Honjo blinked as she looked at the two people who appeared at the entrance of her family's church.

"Ah! I don't need to deliberately seek out opportunities to contact them at all."

As if remembering something, she opened her eyes wide, clenched her fist and slammed it into the palm of her other hand, revealing an expression of sudden realization.

"Because they are my neighbors."

Chapter Three: A Request

Honjo Nia knew Satomi Rentaro and Aihara Enju.

In the virtual life created by the system, she has lived here for a long time, while Rentaro Satomi and Enju Aihara only moved here a year ago because of the cheap rent.

The two families lived not far apart, and Nibekol and Aihara Enju were about the same age and got along well, so they naturally became friends.

"Ani, Rentaro bought me the Tenchu ​​Girl's Transformation Magic Wand today, let's play together!"

Enju Aihara pulled a pink magical girl transformation wand from her schoolbag, pressed the button, and the tip of the wand began to flash with a cheap light.

Nia Honjou knew about the anime "Tenchu ​​Girl" (天除少女). It was an animated series for children in this post-war world, and it was very popular.

As a veteran anime otaku, Nia Honjou had naturally heard of this anime and even liked it very much.

Looking at the figure cabinet in the corner of her church, which was filled with a number of high-quality figures, including Tenchu ​​Girl, Honjou Nia's lips twitched.

I can only say that this is truly me.

They can't even afford to eat, yet they still want to buy these luxury items. Their level of otaku tendencies is off the charts.

"Excuse me, Ms. Honjo."

Aihara Enju pulled Nibekol to play in the backyard, while Satomi Rentaro, following behind her, walked into the hall, panting.

He looked somewhat thin with sallow skin, but he was still quite handsome, and the uniform he wore added to his serious demeanor.

However, Nia Honjo knew that the reason he always wore the uniform was not because he liked wearing it, but simply because he had no other clothes to change into at home.

After all, to be honest, everyone living on this street is broke.

"It's okay. I also enjoy watching the two little ones play together. You know, Nini doesn't go to school, so he doesn't usually have any peers to talk to."

Nia Honjo glanced at Rentaro Satomi standing at the door and casually said, "If you're free, come in and have a seat. It looks like those two are going to play for quite a while."

"Indeed...then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Rentaro Satomi walked in, looked at the somewhat empty church, and sat down somewhat awkwardly on the sofa opposite Nia Honjo.

Although Enju Aihara and Nibelcol are good friends, the relationship between Nia Honjo and Rentaro Satomi, the two guardians, is only at the level of "knowing each other".

Rentaro Satomi is usually busy with work, and Nia Honjou has no interest in real-life interpersonal relationships, so they haven't gotten to know each other very well.

In my memory, when they met before, they would at most exchange a few pleasantries as neighbors.

If Aihara Enju hadn't dragged him along today, Honjo Nia probably wouldn't have even seen him.

"Ms. Honjo..."
