I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

A few minutes earlier, when Tokisaki Kurumi discovered Muzan Kibutsuji, she saw the enormous amount of time emanating from him. Although it wasn't as much as Yuhaka's almost infinite amount of time, Tokisaki Kurumi wasn't picky about this kind of "food" with a large amount of time.

After all, what Tokisaki Kurumi lacks right now is time. Although Tokisaki Kurumi could unleash the Eclipse City to devour a country or even the time of all living beings in the world, she hasn't done so because she's not a great villain. Although she will kill without hesitation, she only kills villains, and she has basically never touched ordinary people.

Otherwise, I would have already saved up enough time to go back 30 years.

Tokisaki Kyo's clone, standing to the side, also looked helpless as he spread his hands and said regarding the complaints of the original body:

"Well... after all, that guy split his body into over a thousand pieces in an instant, and he was incredibly agile. It was very difficult for us to hit him. Plus, his body fragments seemed to have a strong regenerative ability. However, thanks to the abilities of our Eclipse City, at least a part of his body was left behind..."

Hearing her clone's words, Kurumi Tokisaki covered her cheek with a troubled expression and said:

"Even so, it seems like those clones didn't absorb much time. It looks like the other party can also spread out their time, which is rather disappointing. Speaking of which, the other party seems to have been brought from the world of the work by that person named Altair, right?"

Thinking about this, Tokisaki Kurumi was also very curious. To be honest, when Tokisaki Kurumi saw Muzan Kibutsuji, she felt that he was like a villain. After all, Tokisaki Kurumi could smell the stench coming from him from a great distance. She just didn't know what level of villain he was.

"Let's look it up online tomorrow and see what kind of background the other party has. There shouldn't be many people with such abilities."

As she spoke, Kurumi Tokisaki turned to look at her clone and said:

"By the way, have you found Altair's whereabouts?"

Upon hearing the question from the main body, Kurumi Tokisaki's clone helplessly spread her hands and said:

"Unfortunately, we haven't found the other party yet, and the other party hasn't come looking for us either. It seems that the other party just left you alone after bringing your original body into this world."

Regarding the clone, Kurumi Tokisaki pointed to herself with a puzzled expression and said:

"Indeed, given our performance in Altair's works, they should be recruiting us, but they haven't shown any intention of doing so..."

Yes, just as Kurumi Tokisaki said, Altair had no intention of recruiting her. Instead, he brought her to this world and then left her to her own devices, which left Kurumi unable to figure out what Altair wanted to do.

However, based on the current works featuring Altair, Altair's goal is to destroy the world that killed his creator, and now that Altair has come to this world, he probably has the same goal.

But how would the other side destroy this world? Destroying the world in the way depicted in the works would be too foolish. Why not just summon Godzilla or a zombie virus from some other work and destroy the entire world directly? Why summon so many traitors?

Kurumi Tokisaki also saw the disappearance of the horned dragon. It was undoubtedly a creature summoned by Altair. It was clear that Altair was trying to summon monsters from other works. However, Kurumi Tokisaki was a little puzzled as to why the other party would summon such a monster. Wouldn't this attract the attention of the ruling body of this world?

But why did she stop summoning monsters after summoning two? This puzzled Kurumi Tokisaki.

"Alright, let's expand the search area. We can't let that guy who just got away escape."

Hearing the main body's words, the clones nodded to show they understood and then retreated into the shadows and disappeared. After her clones left, Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't help but think about her future plans. Although she didn't know what Altair wanted to do, if he wanted to destroy the world, Tokisaki Kurumi didn't intend to stand idly by. After all, Tokisaki Kurumi didn't know what kind of impact the destruction of this world would have on her own world, so she wanted to protect this world.

Of course, it's just a side benefit; for our own purposes, this world cannot be destroyed for the time being.

Thinking this, Kurumi Tokisaki disappeared into her own shadow and vanished into the alley.

......................................................................

Shortly after Kurumi Tokisaki left, hurried footsteps were heard outside the alley. Soon, a group of fully armed soldiers arrived at the unknown location. These soldiers, armed with assault rifles, cautiously searched the surroundings. After discovering bloodstains and bullet holes on the ground and walls, one of the soldiers contacted the other side via communicator, saying:

"Tsk, this is the First Special Operations Unit. We have discovered a suspected target battle site here. There is a lot of blood left here. Please give instructions."

After hearing the special operations team members' words, the command came through the communicator:

Collect any remaining traces at the scene, then cordon off the area and clean up the site.

Upon hearing the order from the other end of the communicator, the special operations team members acknowledged their understanding and began to take action.

Before long, the remaining traces in this alley will be dealt with by these special operations forces members.

P.S.: I originally wanted to try writing Sephiroth, but Sephiroth's character is really hard to write, and there aren't many settings I can find, so I feel like I'd ruin the character.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1198 [Is that a sock or a shoe? OO?]

At night, in the imaginary space where Yuhaka was, Elodie put her clothes back on after Yuhaka dried them. Yuhaka was a little puzzled when he saw Elodie's clothes. Why would she want to wear such clothes that looked difficult to wear?

After Elodie finished dressing, she turned around and saw Yuhaka staring at her thighs with a puzzled expression. She then asked curiously:

"What's wrong, Youyou?"

After hearing Elodie's words, Yuhaka pointed to the shoes and socks Elodie was wearing and asked:

"Elodie, why are you wearing such strange clothes and shoes? OwO"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, Elodie turned her gaze to the person Yuhaka was pointing to, namely the shoes and socks on her thighs. Unlike the usual shoe and sock combination outfits seen on the market, Elodie wore a shoe that looked like a pair of pantyhose with one leg missing, and a shoe that looked like an over-the-knee sock on the other leg. This puzzled Yuhaka, as he had never seen such clothing before.

After hearing Yuhaka's words, Elodie didn't know how to respond. After all, Elodie had never thought there was anything strange about her clothes. Her grandmother had made them for her, and she had several identical sets. Apart from pajamas, Elodie didn't have any other clothes. Since she lived alone, she hadn't paid much attention to such things. But after interacting with Yuhaka and the others, Elodie couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong with her clothes.

After all, in the world city before, Elodie was also surrounded by many people who stared at her with chilling eyes. Although it wasn't as terrifying as the murderous aura of the heroes or the disgusted looks of the ordinary residents, Elodie always felt that those people wanted to devour her alive. If she could understand their language, Elodie would even suspect that they had some bad intentions.

"These are clothes my grandma made for me. Are they strange?"

After hearing Elodie's answer, Yuhaka looked puzzled and tapped his chin with his finger, saying:

"Youyou doesn't know, Youyou has never seen clothes like this before, so it feels very strange OO~"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Elodie roughly understood why the residents were focusing their attention on her; it was probably because of the clothes she was wearing.

Moreover, all those people seemed to have black hair and black eyes, and their clothes were quite different from his own, which is probably why he was surrounded by a large group of people.

Thinking about these things, Elodie felt that this must be the case, otherwise, why would those people have gathered around to watch? Of course, Elodie also felt that they did not regard her as a witch, otherwise, they would have already yelled at her and thrown stones at her.

Then, as if remembering something, Elodie looked up and looked around. Unlike the outside world, in the imaginary space where Eohaka and Elodie were, besides the island where Eohaka and Elodie were, Eohaka had also created several different islands. The environments on these other islands were also different from those on Eohaka's island. They were used to raise some of the food that Eohaka liked to eat, and at the same time, Eohaka was also allowed to raise other creatures and harvest the food produced by those creatures.

For example, eggs from living organisms, milk from living organisms, and so on.

Looking around at the situation in the space, Elodie asked Yuhaka with a puzzled expression:

"Youyou, where are we?"

Upon hearing Elodie's question, Yuhaka replied:

"This is Youyou's imaginary space, and also where Youyou is temporarily staying =w=~"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Elodie looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression and said, word by word:

"Imaginary, number, space?"

Hearing this, Elodie was also a little confused, after all, she had never heard of imaginary space before. While Elodie was pondering what this so-called imaginary space was, Yuhaka tugged at Elodie's sleeve and said:

"Eldie, do you want to go collect ingredients with Youyou?"

Elodie paused for a moment after hearing Yuhaka's words, then nodded. After all, when she lived alone before, Elodie used to go hunting by herself. With Elodie's skills, dealing with creatures like wild boars was a piece of cake.

Thinking of hunting, Elodie also thought of her soul stone. After taking out her soul stone, Elodie noticed that the light inside had diminished and become somewhat dim. She had used up quite a bit of magic power, and Elodie felt that she should replenish her soul.

Seeing Elodie take out a glowing stone, Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, stared at the object in Elodie's hand with a curious expression and said:

"Elodie, what is this thing?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's question, Elodie also answered:

"This is a Soul Stone, an item used to collect the souls of dead creatures."

After hearing Elodie's explanation, Yuhaka nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked:

"So what can it do?"

Regarding Yhaka's question, Elodie explained the function of the Soul Stone to Yhaka. After hearing about the function of the Soul Stone, Yhaka immediately lost interest in it. After all, Yhaka naturally had no interest in something that couldn't be used in kitchen utensils.

Elodie then followed Yhaka to the place where they were gathering ingredients. The ecology of the island where Yhaka lived was similar to that of an ancient forest. Along the way, Elodie saw many creatures she had never seen before, including monsters that looked like dragons. However, these were not the ingredients Yhaka was looking for. After all, Yhaka had stored those ingredients in his dimensional cave. The ingredients that Yhaka needed were basically those that Yhaka's dimensional cave could not store, because Yhaka would be tempted to eat them.

This forced Yuhaka to go find ingredients again.

Led by Yuhaka, Elodie followed him to a large lake. Upon seeing this, Elodie seemed to understand what kind of ingredients Yuhaka wanted to take her to find.

P.S.: To be honest, I've always felt that the outfit Elodie wears on her lower body looks a bit strange. Is it shoes or socks? And the design doesn't feel sexy enough, but it satisfies two different fetishes.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1199 [Ghost-Faced Spotted Shrimp]

In this vast lake, Elodie looked on in astonishment. To be honest, it was the first time Elodie had ever seen such a large lake. Around the lake, there were many herbivorous dragons and other small creatures foraging in the nearby grass. Looking at the creatures foraging in the distance, Elodie asked Yuhaka:

"Youyou, what kind of prey are we going to hunt today?"

Upon hearing Elodie's question, Yuhaka pointed to a spot on one side of the lake with aquatic plants and piles of rocks, and said:

"Youyou's going to catch big shrimp over there! OwO~!"

Seeing Yuhaka's excited expression, Elodie recalled the shrimp she had seen in the river before. The largest ones were only about the size of a finger, and there were very few of them. They were also very difficult to catch, which made Elodie uninterested in shrimp. Of course, she had never eaten shrimp before. Moreover, due to her status, Elodie had never been to any markets or similar places. This was Elodie's way of living a self-sufficient life alone in the forest.

After hearing Yuhaka's words, Elodie nodded, then took out her Tree Spirit Staff. A geometric pattern of a magic circle appeared on Elodie's hand, as if she intended to cast a fireball spell on the spot Yuhaka pointed to.

Seeing this, Yuhaka stretched his neck, opened his mouth, and ate the geometric pattern that appeared on Elodie's hand. Elodie, seeing this, looked on in utter bewilderment as Yuhaka devoured her magic. To be honest, this was the first time Elodie had ever known that her magic could be eaten!

With a chewing sound like glass being crushed, Yuhaka swallowed it, then held up one finger and said to Elodie with a serious expression:

"Elodie, fried fish? No way! =^="

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Elodie looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression and asked:

"why?"

The puzzled Elodie used to use magic to blast fish in order to catch them. After all, Elodie didn't have a net or a fishing rod, and naturally couldn't go into the river to catch fish by hand. So, Elodie could only use magic to blast fish as her fishing method.

Eureka explained Eureka's confusion by saying that blasting fish would damage the ecosystem. Even the Palicoes, who are good at making explosives, understand this. Eureka used to like using electricity to fish, but after being told by the Palicoes that it would damage the ecosystem of the food, Eureka rarely uses electricity anymore.

After hearing Yuhaka's acceptance, Elodie also expressed her understanding. Elodie also thought about how the fish in the small pond near her house had quickly disappeared, obviously because she had blown them all up.

"So how do I catch shrimp?"

Looking puzzled, Elodie asked Yuhaka the same question. After hearing Elodie's question, Yuhaka thought for a moment and then took out a fishing rod from the dimensional hole. Seeing the modern fishing rod handed to her by Yuhaka, Elodie took it. Looking at the modern fishing rod in her hand, Elodie didn't know what to do, after all, Elodie had no experience in fishing.

Seeing Elodie's clueless look on her face, Yhwach scratched her head with her tail. Yhwach was thinking, "How does this person support herself if she can't fish?" Then, a lightbulb popped into Yhwach's head and she said to Elodie:

"Watch how Youyou catches the prawns! =w=!"

As she spoke, Yuhaka took off her clothes and jumped into the water like a fish, swimming quickly. Elodie, on the shore, was quite surprised to see Yuhaka's agile, fish-like movements. After all, it was the first time she had ever seen someone swim like a fish. Of course, Elodie had tried swimming in the wild, but compared to Yuhaka, she felt like a clumsy little wild duck learning to swim.

Meanwhile, in the water, Yuhaka, relying on its senses, spotted its prey among the large rocks and aquatic plants: the "Ghost-faced Shrimp," a freshwater crustacean that can reach 25cm to 45cm in size. In simpler terms, it's a large freshwater shrimp, and this is the largest freshwater shrimp Yuhaka has discovered so far.

They mainly inhabit freshwater lakes in places like Jieyun and Xifeng Valley, and Ancient Tree Forest. Yuhaka searched for a long time before accurately finding this enormous freshwater shrimp. Because of its appearance, this freshwater shrimp is called the Ghost-faced Spotted Shrimp, and it also has names like Ghost-headed Tiger Shrimp and Bull-horn King Shrimp. The reason is that the shell structure of these shrimp's head is quite different. Unlike ordinary freshwater shrimp that have a single horn with serrations on their heads, the Ghost-faced Spotted Shrimp has a pair of horns on its head that look like bull horns pointing to the sky. They don't seem aggressive and are probably used to show off and attract females.

In addition, the ghost-faced shrimp has camouflage patterns on its body that resemble tiger stripes. This is why the ghost-faced shrimp lives in environments with aquatic plants and large rocks.

As for how Yuhaka learned about these prawns, it was entirely through the merchants at the seafood market in Monster Hunter World. Apart from the Hunter Guild, there were basically no other ways to obtain these prawns, so they were generally very expensive. Most of them were pre-ordered by nobles and restaurants, and the rest were some "defective products".

However, even if it is a defective product, it is not necessarily a product that ordinary people can afford, because the habitat is scarce and there are many natural enemies, such as water dragon babies, small shield crabs, aquatic beasts and other large creatures that live on the water's edge or in the water, all of which feed on the ghost-faced striped shrimp.

Fortunately, this spotted shrimp has a good reproductive capacity. It lays a large number of eggs each time, and most of the hatched shrimp die off in the environment. However, the remaining spotted shrimp larvae are enough to reproduce more spotted shrimp.

Soon, under Yuhaka's search, Yuhaka found a ghost-faced striped shrimp hiding under a rock. The shrimp thought Yuhaka hadn't noticed it, but it didn't realize that its long whiskers were now exposed to Yuhaka's view. Yuhaka, with an "OwO~" expression, reached out and grabbed the shrimp's head, pulling it out from under the rock.
