I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

But soon, Nia Honjou realized the situation. She quickly looked around and found that she was no longer in the cold laboratory. At the same time, she noticed that the black twin-tailed girl in front of her had the same energy called spiritual power as herself. Obviously, the other party was also an elf like herself, which surprised Nia Honjou.

However, what surprised Nia Honjo even more was the cat-eared loli standing next to her. Judging from her appearance, it was clear that she was not human, since humans don't grow cat ears, horns, or big tails.

What kind of species is this?

Just as Honjou Nia was lost in thought, Tokisaki Kurumi, who was standing nearby, placed a tray of breakfast in front of her and said:

"Miss Nia, this is breakfast. I imagine you haven't eaten for a while while you were in the EDM lab, right?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Nia Honjou's gaze also fell upon the breakfast that Kurumi Tokisaki had placed in front of her. This breakfast was a combination of grilled sausage, fried egg, cherry tomatoes, herbivorous dragon bacon, and toast made by Yuhaka. It was a very simple breakfast, and it was also very easy to make.

Looking at the exquisite, steaming breakfast in front of her, Nia Honjou couldn't help but swallow. At this moment, Nia Honjou felt a surge of appetite rising from her stomach. After all, she hadn't eaten for a long time. Although it was generally not a problem for a spirit to go without food for a long time, Nia Honjou hadn't even had a drop of water while she was imprisoned in the laboratory. This made Nia Honjou feel very uncomfortable, not to mention the various tortures she endured every day, which made Nia Honjou suffer even more.

With a slightly trembling right hand, Honjou Nia picked up the chopsticks on the tray and slowly put the grilled sausage in her mouth, taking a bite. As the crisp casing broke, Honjou Nia tasted food again after a long time. Feeling the warm, salty, and savory grilled sausage in her mouth, Honjou Nia couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and tears the size of soybeans welled up in her eyes. The tears flowed down Honjou Nia's cheeks, down her chin, and dripped onto the bed, leaving a few water stains.

While eating breakfast, Nia Honjou was also crying. She wiped away her tears with her arm and said:

"Huh... why do my eyes keep watering when I eat breakfast... haha, how strange..."

At this moment, Honjou Nia was like a crying little girl, sitting on the bed with her head down wiping away tears. Tokisaki Kurumi, who was standing next to her, roughly understood what was going on. After all, Honjou Nia, who had just returned from that torturous hell, was also crying tears of joy. Honjou Nia hadn't expected that someone would actually come back to save her. For an unknown amount of time, Honjou Nia had been praying that someone could rescue her.

I just never expected this day to come so suddenly.

Seeing Honjou Nia crying like a child, Yuhaka climbed onto the bed and hugged the overjoyed Nia, patting her head as if comforting his own child. This was a piece of cake for Yuhaka, since Ji Lin was the best at taking care of children, and Yuhaka had learned from her.

"Er'er, darling~ The bad guy is gone~ =w=~"

Nia Honjou instinctively leaned into Yuhaka's arms, while Kurumi Tokisaki, standing to the side, looked at Yuhaka radiating maternal love and didn't know what to say. After all, Yuhaka's childlike appearance didn't seem like that of someone who had a child at all!

However, Kurumi Tokisaki didn't think too much about it.

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

In the bathroom in Yuhaka, the recovered Nia Honjou examined her body in front of the full-length mirror. She was somewhat surprised to see that there were no scars left on her body. After all, Nia Honjou knew very well what kind of inhuman torture those bastards had inflicted on her, such as having her skull drilled open, being seppuku alive, and having her hands and feet sliced ​​off bit by bit. Just thinking about these things made Nia Honjou want to draw a meteorite on EDM Company and smash it to pieces. However, unfortunately, she didn't have much spiritual power at the moment.

So she needs some time to recover. After checking that her body was fine, Honjou Nia suddenly thought of Yuhaka and Tokisaki Kurumi. Honjou Nia was very curious about their identities. After all, one was a spirit with special abilities like herself, and the other was Yuhaka, who looked like a dragon girl character from anime. Just thinking about Yuhaka made Honjou Nia blush.

Just imagining herself being comforted in a little girl's arms like a crying child made Honjou Nia feel incredibly embarrassed, making her want to immediately board a rocket and escape from Earth.

Hmm... Although that child is indeed quite cute, the thought of that child's innocent expression as he pats his head to comfort him reminds Honjou Nia of the loli characters with a maternal aura in the light novels she used to read.

Thinking about it this way, Honjou Nia couldn't help but recall a series of times when Yuhaka took care of her like a child. However, Honjou Nia quickly shook her head to get rid of those embarrassing thoughts and patted her face to clear her mind.

After regaining consciousness, Nia Honjou quickly changed into the clothes that Kurumi Tokisaki had prepared for her and came out of the bathroom. After leaving the bathroom, Nia Honjou saw Kurumi Tokisaki, Yuhaka, and an unknown white-haired, red-eyed girl.

After sitting down opposite Kurumi Tokisaki and the others, Nia Honjou expressed her gratitude to them earlier and was also very curious about how they had found her.

In response, Kurumi Tokisaki smiled and placed the Date A Live volumes 1 to 22 in front of Nia Honjou. Seeing the large stack of novels in front of her, Nia Honjou looked completely bewildered. Clearly, Kurumi Tokisaki's actions had left Nia Honjou somewhat confused.

With a puzzled look on her face, Nia Honjou pointed to the thick stack of light novels in front of her and asked Kurumi Tokisaki:

"this.......?"

Kurumi Tokisaki also made a hand gesture and said to Nia Honjou:

"Miss Niya, you'll understand after you take a look at these light novels."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Nia Honjou scratched her head with a puzzled expression and took the light novels to examine them. Then, Nia Honjou looked at the light novels in her hand that were printed with Date A Live and Tohka Yatogami.

Seeing this, Nia Honjou thought the clothes on the light novel cover looked like an elf's spirit dress. So Nia Honjou looked at the covers of other Date A Live novels. When she saw the cover of Tokisaki Kurumi in volume 3, Nia Honjou was stunned for a moment and then looked at Tokisaki Kurumi.

Meanwhile, Kurumi Tokisaki smiled and gestured to Nia Honjou to continue reading. Nia Honjou did so and then saw herself dressed in a nun-like spirit dress.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1243 [Showing Date A Live to Nia Honjou]

Looking at the cover of the Date A Live light novel, Volume 13, which featured her wearing a semi-transparent nun's spirit dress, Nia Honjou was dumbfounded. She clearly hadn't expected that this light novel was set in their world. Upon seeing this, Nia Honjou quickly flipped through all the Date A Live novels. Undoubtedly, this one was a harem novel about a protagonist who was connected to spirits.

Seeing this, Nia Honjou couldn't help but think, "So my world is a harem light novel?"

Thinking about all this, Honjou Nia couldn't help but feel an urge to give the author a good beating. After all, she knew very well how she had been treated before. What kind of harem light novel is this? Is there any way to torture someone like this?

Then, with a gloomy expression, Honjou Nia looked at Tokisaki Kurumi and asked:

"Little Kuang Kuang, is all of this true?"

Regarding Nia Honjou's question, Kurumi Tokisaki nodded, while also wondering what this strange nickname, "Little Kurumi," was.

"That's right, it's all true. Miss Nia, wouldn't you like to take a look?"

In response to Tokisaki Kurumi's words, Honjou Nia nodded and then opened the Date A Live light novel to read it. Normally, Honjou Nia wouldn't read a novel like she was using quantum reading, since novels are meant to be enjoyed, not read using quantum reading techniques.

Most people might not be able to remember such a fast reading method, but it's still possible for elves.

After spending a considerable amount of time, Nia Honjou finished reading the entire Date A Live series. Afterward, she couldn't help but remark:

"What kind of garbage romance harem light novel is this? It's about my girlfriend turning my dead self into her son, killing her, and then resurrecting me. What kind of nonsense is this? And why am I the weakest spirit???"

Seeing Nia Honjou's "Holy crap" expression, Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't help but show a pleased expression as well. Clearly, Kurumi Tokisaki was also very interested in how Nia Honjou would react to the Date A Live series of novels, after all, she had been through the same thing back then.

So, thinking that she couldn't be the only one to see it, Tokisaki Kurumi also showed Honjou Nia the Date A Live novel. After reading the Date A Live novel, Honjou Nia was exactly like herself after reading the novel.

Regarding Nia Honjou's question, Kurumi Tokisaki covered her mouth and looked at Nia Honjou with a teasing expression, saying:

"Miss Niya, aren't you quite clear about this issue yourself?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Nia Honjou immediately wore an embarrassed expression. In the novel, she essentially used her angel, the "Whispering Scroll," as a high-performance search engine, rarely employing its "Future Record" ability. Moreover, she used it primarily through drawing and manga. While the "Future Record" could be accessed through writing, she preferred drawing. This was why Nia Honjou was caught off guard by EDM's attack. Furthermore, she didn't use the Whispering Scroll to foresee her future (arguing that knowing her future was tantamount to being spoiled), which also contributed to her lack of reaction to EDM's attack.

This is also what led to Nia Honjo's unfortunate encounter in the novel's plot. Of course, Nia Honjo wouldn't be as foolish as she was before. After reading the Date A Live novel, Nia Honjo naturally knew how to use her angel. However, her spiritual power hadn't fully recovered, so using it was a bit difficult. This was all the fault of those bastards at EDM.

"Hmm... Although that's how it's written in the novel, it was probably due to a problem with the small display device in my head at that time, right?"

Thinking about all this, Nia Honjou also looked a little scared and said:

"Wait, come to that! Did I manage to remove the miniature display device in my head?!"

Regarding Nia Honjo's question, Yuhaka, who was munching on potato chips nearby, said to Nia Honjo:

"No, there's nothing in Er'er's head O~O."

Hearing Yuhaka's answer, Honjou Nia breathed a sigh of relief. After all, nobody wants some strange device installed in their brain, right? But Honjou Nia felt that something was off about what the cute little girl eating in front of her was saying.

"It's good that there's nothing there, otherwise I feel like I can't sleep."

Then, thinking about the question regarding Mio Takamiya, Nia Honjou crossed her arms and said:

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that phantom to be the Primordial Spirit, Mio Takamiya. But that makes sense, though, why would she have these spirit crystals?"

However, the thought of Mio Takamiya's power—capable of easily annihilating all of their Pokémon—terrified Nia Honjou. If that were the case, how could they possibly defeat her? Of course, relying on the methods from the original story would be too foolish, and those methods had failed. Moreover, if they angered Mio Takamiya, they would be doomed.

Then, Nia Honjou looked at Kurumi Tokisaki and asked:

"Little Kuang Kuang, once your Twelfth Bullet can travel back in time, are you confident you can take care of those three mages?"

Regarding Nia Honjou's question, Kurumi Tokisaki narrowed her eyes slightly and curled her long black hair as she spoke:

"Not necessarily. The strength of the opponent is still unknown. The most important thing is the grandmother paradox, which is also an obstacle to my actions. If I can't figure out this relationship, I won't dare to use the Twelfth Bullet to go back to the past and change history. If things go wrong, we might all disappear."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Nia Honjou realized that changing history wasn't a good option either. After all, some of the spirits survived because of Mio Takamiya, such as Miku Izayoi and Nanami Kagano. If it weren't for Mio Takamiya, they might have died in the history that was altered.

Thinking about it this way, Nia Honjou couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. As for Kurumi Tokisaki, the way to revive her friends wasn't just through her own abilities, but also by finding other revival items.

Nia Honjo, looking at Yuhaka and the others with a puzzled expression, asked:

"Wait, where did you get these light novels that record the plot of our world, Kuang Kuang?"

Regarding Nia Honjou's question, Kurumi Tokisaki smiled and then took out a disc, saying to Nia Honjou:

"It might be easier to explain to Miss Niya after she has read this."

After receiving the disc from Kurumi Tokisaki, Nia Honjou saw the title "RE:CREATORS" printed on it. To Nia Honjou, "RE" meant "renewal," and "CREATORS" meant creator or creator. Although she didn't quite understand what the title meant, the disc's visuals were in a familiar anime style, so Nia Honjou decided to check it out, since she hadn't watched anime in a long time.

This made her feel a little nostalgic.

After watching a few episodes of the anime Re:Zero, during lunch, Nia Honjou, holding her chopsticks, looked at Kurumi Tokisaki and the others with a surprised expression and said:

"Wait, Little Madman, do you mean that the character named Altair has come to our world?"

Kurumi Tokisaki placed the tempura shrimp she was holding on her chopsticks onto Yuhaka's bowl and said to Nia Honjou:

"That's right, it was because of Altair that I came to the creator world that created our world, and... learned the truth about our world."

Volume 1 [The Lazy Chapter]: Chapter 1244 [The List on the Whispered Message]

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Nia Honjou scratched her short gray hair with a puzzled expression and asked:

"If that's the case, why haven't I seen Altair? Where is she?"

In response to Nia Honjou's question, Kurumi Tokisaki also answered:

"Unfortunately, Altair has never contacted me since she brought me to the world of our Creator, and I can't find her anywhere. She's like she's vanished into thin air. I don't understand what her purpose is, but it's probably similar to the goal in RE: Creator."

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's answer, Nia Honjou took a small sip of miso soup and nodded, saying:

"I see. If that's the case, then it makes sense. But speaking of which, Little Kuang Kuang, how did you get back to this world without finding Altair?"

After hearing Nia Honjou's question, Kurumi Tokisaki pointed to Yuhaka standing to the side and said:

"Of course, I wouldn't have been able to return to my own world on my own, and it's all thanks to Yu-Yu-chan's help~"

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's answer, Nia Honjou looked at Yuhaka with a puzzled expression, clearly not expecting Yuhaka to have such strong abilities. Could it be that Yuhaka also came to this world from another work? Perhaps everyone present here is from the world of anime?

Thinking about all this, Honjou Nia couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, as a girl who only liked anime and manga, Honjou Nia was thrilled at the thought of finding anime characters in real life. Seeing Honjou Nia's somewhat infatuated expression, Yuhaka, who was standing next to her, asked Tokisaki Kurumi:

"San San, is Er Er out of her mind? O~O?"

Kurumi Tokisaki, who was serving food to Yuhaka, explained to Yuhaka:

"Miss Erya is just a little too excited. Youyou, don't follow her example."

Okay! OwO~

Hearing their conversation, Honjou Nia coughed a few times and then, somewhat embarrassed, scratched her cheek and said:

"Ahem, well... this is the ultimate dream of every otaku, to see their wife come to life right in front of them, it's like a dream come true!"

Then, as if remembering something, Nia Honjou took out her Angelic Whispering Scroll, intending to find Altair's whereabouts, and said:

"By the way, my whispered account can find Altair's location—hmm?"

Halfway through her sentence, Honjou Nia suddenly discovered that her whispered message was displaying a jumble of gibberish, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

"Wait, what's going on? Why is my confession showing up as a jumble of gibberish???"

After seeing Nia Honjou's performance, Kurumi Tokisaki shook her head with an expression of unsurprised surprise and said:

"Of course, after all, the other party has an unknown entity providing cover for her, which is why we have no way of finding her location."

"Is...is there really such a thing?!"
