I don't want to be an elf!

Aside from serving as food and playthings, they have no other purpose in existence.

Although these two demons did cause great panic and financial losses, they never killed anyone and even made several peaceful contacts with humans.

Watching the Yamai sisters stuffing themselves with sauce and oil, Machima showed interest for the first time.

Such an interesting demon was something she had never seen before.

Chapter Eight: Provocation

Three minutes later.

Under the astonished and uncertain gazes of the crowd, Yagami Yagami, having finished the last bite of the Big Mac, raised it.

But because he ate too fast, he choked and had to drink several mouthfuls of water to calm himself down.

At that moment, Yamai Yuzuru, who was only a step behind her and had swallowed the last bite of bread while she was drinking water, spoke first.

"Verdict: The winner of this competitive eating challenge is Yuzuru."

The onlookers gasped in amazement as they watched the two girls devour an amount that even a normal man couldn't finish in one meal.

Although both of their bellies were bulging and they looked like they had almost reached their limit, the challenge was indeed a success.

As advertised, the owner of Big Bang Burgers waived their bill for the meal.

"As a mystery prize for your successful challenge, miss, you will receive a VIP membership card for Big Bang Burgers, with a 20% discount on all future purchases."

"and many more!"

Just as the shop owner was about to hand over the gleaming gold membership card to Yamai Yuzuru, Yamai Yaguya suddenly became anxious.

She snatched the gold card away, glared at Yamai Yuzuru like a protective mother hen, and said with dissatisfaction, "What judgment? Anyone with eyes can see that I was the first to finish eating!"

After saying that, she turned to the crowd of onlookers and asked, as if seeking their approval, "Right, everyone?"

"That's right, this little girl finished eating first."

"It was about five seconds faster."

"She should definitely receive the membership card."

Despite the supporters standing around Yamai Yuzuru, he remained expressionless.

After everyone had finished speaking, she said in a nonchalant tone, "However, Yagyuya drinking water at the end is also part of the competition. The challenge is not considered successful until the food is completely swallowed."

As soon as he said this, another group of people echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, yes, that makes sense."

"It's because that little girl named Yagyuya ate too fast and didn't pay attention to the rhythm."

"Whoever officially finishes first should receive a membership card."

In an instant, the Big Bang Burger shop split into two factions.

Yamai Yuzuru and Yamai Yaguya stared at each other, neither willing to give an inch.

Just then, the boss reached into his pocket and pulled out another gleaming gold membership card with a beaming smile.

"You seem to have misunderstood the rules of our challenge. It's not that whoever finishes eating first wins, but that whoever finishes eating wins."

The owner handed the second membership card to Yamai Yuzuru and said with a smile, "Both of you have finished the Big Mac burgers prepared by our restaurant, so you will both receive a mystery prize. Congratulations to you both."

The Yamai sisters were taken aback when they heard the boss's explanation.

It turns out they got the rules wrong.

"But if we all win, wouldn't this duel be meaningless?" Yamai Yaku said indignantly. "I hate draws the most! It makes me feel so uncomfortable!"

"If you two ladies are willing, our restaurant actually has a second round of the eating contest," the owner said with a smile. "The second round's giant burger is even bigger than the first one. If you're interested, you can continue the challenge."

"hesitate......"

"Oh, cough cough, I'll definitely do it next time."

Both of them politely declined.

After all, they weren't Tohka Yatogami, and they didn't have that kind of monstrous stomach.

Although the role-playing reward obtained in the Three Questions of the Apocalypse is Tohka Yatogami's "Rapid Digestion", the ability granted by the role-playing reward can only be used after the role-player returns to their original world.

They can only use the abilities of the elf girl they are currently playing, as well as the abilities of the item cards given after completing side quests.

As spirits, the Yamai sisters do have a bigger appetite than ordinary people, but only a little bit.

Eating the first round of hamburgers was already my limit, let alone the second round.

Seeing that the two pretty girls who had boosted the popularity of the burger shop and attracted many passersby had decided to give up the challenge, the shop owner sighed with slight regret.

However, he did not forcefully persuade them. He simply said he looked forward to their next visit and then watched the two girls leave.

After leaving the Big Bang Burger shop, the Yamai sisters returned to the bustling streets of Tokyo.

"It's a bit of a pity that we couldn't get Machima to take the bait."

As they walked, Yamai Yuzuru suddenly spoke to Yamai Yaguru in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Huh? Machima? She's here?"

Hearing the sudden words, Yamai Yuzuru was stunned for a moment, and instinctively wanted to turn around and look around.

But just as she was about to turn around, her head was pressed down by the quick-thinking Yamai Yuzuru.

"Are you stupid? Stop looking around!"

"Ah, sorry sorry."

"Wait, does that mean you didn't notice Machima's presence at all when we were at the burger joint?"

"No... I was too busy eating hamburgers, hehe."

A hint of speechlessness appeared in Yamai Yuzuru's eyes.

She had already spotted Makima and Hayakawa Aki when they appeared at the Big Bang Burger shop.

Therefore, while she was participating in the competitive eating challenge, she would occasionally and subtly observe their actions.

That's why she finished her hamburger five seconds slower than Yagami.

She assumed that Yamai Yuzuru must have noticed it too, since although their personalities were somewhat different, they were still split from the same personality.

Surprisingly, this guy didn't notice at all.

"So what should we do next?" Yuzuru Yamai asked. "Should we just keep wandering around Tokyo and wait for her to contact us?"

“No, we usually act swiftly and decisively, leaving as soon as the duel is over,” Yagami said. “Makima is a shrewd person. If we continue to linger here without a reason, she might notice something.”

"Then... should we provoke her a little?"

"I think so too."

After reaching a consensus, wisps of spiritual energy immediately emanated from the two wind spirits.

Their clothes fluttered even without wind, and their feet left the ground, as if they were about to leave.

"Ladies of the wind spirits, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing that melodious, bell-like sound, the Yamai sisters' eyes flickered, and they dispersed their spiritual power.

A slight smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.

It seems that, just as planned, Machima has taken the bait.

But the smiles on their lips vanished as soon as they turned away.

Yamai Yuzuru remained expressionless, while Yamai Yagura crossed her arms and looked at the two tails following behind them.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Machima, and I am the head of the Fourth Anti-Demon Operations Division of the Government Public Security Bureau."

Machima's gentle tone, coupled with her elegant and poised smile, exuded an indescribable charm.

"Do you two have a moment to chat with me?"

Chapter Nine: Prescribing the Right Medicine

Seeing that the Yamai sisters were about to leave, Makima couldn't hold back any longer.

Without making a sound or movement, like a silent snake, Machima would continue to follow them silently and observe their actions if they intended to continue wandering around Tokyo.

However, at this moment, she was forced out by the Yamai sisters' feint attack.

He had no choice but to speak up and stop the two from leaving, putting himself in the public eye.

However, Machima didn't feel much panic or regret.

Although she had never met these two wind spirits before, in just a few minutes of interaction, combined with the stories of the Yamai sisters in other countries, Makima had already formed a general impression of them.

It was precisely because she saw the extraordinary nature of these two wind demons that she took the initiative to speak up and persuade them to stay.

After listening to Machima's words, Yagami crossed his arms and looked the curvaceous mature woman in front of him up and down.

"Demon Science? I seem to remember that's a human organization that eliminates demons, right?" she asked bluntly. "But I clearly sense a demonic aura emanating from you."

With just one glance, her true identity was revealed, yet Machima showed no surprise whatsoever.

For humans, appearance is the only way to distinguish demons from humans.

Even demons that look very human usually have some strange things on their heads, such as Power's two red horns.

However, for demons, scent is actually their primary means of distinguishing their own kind.

Just as the Blood Demon Power can smell the scent of demons by the smell of blood, Makima, who controls demons, also has a similar ability.

As the other party was a high-ranking elemental demon, a wind demon, Makima naturally guessed that they might also have similar abilities.

This is why, after leaving the hamburger shop, he had Hayakawa Aki return to the car to wait.

Although there are quite a few high-ranking human officials in the Japanese government who know that she is the one who controls demons, it is naturally better for her to appear as a human in front of her subordinates.

However, there is no need to pretend when facing one's own kind.

“I am indeed a demon,” Machima said calmly. “However, there’s no rule that demons can’t join the Exorcism Class, is there?”

"Well, that's true..."
