I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"OxO???"

The area in front of Yuhaka's body, affected by the blast wave, was blackened as if he had fallen into a coal pile. Irena, emerging from the blast bunker, saw that only Yuhaka's eyes and back remained untouched by the blackening and looked alarmed, saying:

"Oh dear... I've made a mess..."

Elodie, standing to the side, looked at Elaina with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't quite understand why Elaina said she had caused trouble. Then, after placing a pair of hands on their shoulders, Kurumi Tokisaki's voice came from behind Elaina and Elodie, but instead of her usual rich girl-like voice, it had an angry tone as she said:

"Alright, Miss Elena, Miss Elodie, is there anything you'd like to say?"

,

Sensing the angry tone in Tokisaki Kurumi's voice, Elena knew she had messed up, while Elodie looked on with a puzzled expression.

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

In Elodie and Elena's laboratory, Elodie was sweeping up the debris and rubble from the explosion, while Elena was kneeling in front of Yuhaka and Kurumi Tokisaki, with Kurumi Tokisaki wiping Yuhaka's face with a towel.

"So, you originally planned to create a magic core that could provide magic power to the automatons, but you accidentally messed up the magic output value, causing the magic crystal to explode?"

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Elaina, looking embarrassed, scratched her cheek and said:

"Well... well, because the magic power on Elodie's side is a little different from ours, that's why this happened... I'm sorry..."

After hearing Elena's explanation, Kurumi Tokisaki sighed helplessly and said:

"Alright, it seems you didn't do it on purpose, Miss Elena. But next time you're going to do such a dangerous or unknown experiment, remember to tell me. At least for now, I can have Youyou-chan's cat build a more sturdy laboratory for you to avoid accidents like the building collapsing."

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Elaina couldn't help but show an embarrassed expression. To be honest, it was rare for Elaina to be lectured like this. After all, this was the trouble of a genius. However, it was also for this reason that Elaina wanted to rekindle her years of serious study. After all, as a genius, not having anything worth researching made Elaina feel a little lazy. If it weren't for her desire to travel, Elaina doubted whether she would have become a shut-in.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1344 [The Title Girl Gets Kicked Away by Yhaka]

After dealing with Elena's problem, Kurumi Tokisaki turned her attention to Elodie, who was cleaning the laboratory. Compared to Elena, Elodie was like a young child, but at least she was a well-behaved girl, which made her feel much more at ease.

Then Kurumi Tokisaki asked Elodie:

"By the way, Miss Elodie, what are you and Miss Irene making? It seems you need a new magic core. Isn't the technology from Eve's Heart that Bronya got before sufficient?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, the innocent-looking Elodie looked at Kurumi Tokisaki and nodded without any intention of hiding anything, saying:

"Yes, I'm making a defensive automaton, but I want it to be able to provide me with magic power and make its own judgments even when I lose consciousness."

After hearing Elodie's words, Kurumi Tokisaki understood why Elodie wanted to create a magic core. It wasn't entirely incomprehensible. Kurumi then looked at Elodie and asked:

"Then why not use elven ore instead?"

Regarding the question about Tokisaki Kurumi, Elaina, who had stood up and patted her skirt, said:

"I've looked at those elven ores. They're fine as an energy source, but ordinary elven ores aren't enough. Plus, the kind of elven ores with the resonance properties that Elodie's greatsword-like automaton possessed—the kind with the blood of the Elven King—are extremely rare. Besides, elven ores are different not only in element but also in the elven magic they contain. They might be okay for Elodie's greatsword-like automaton, but they wouldn't be suitable for Elodie's second automaton."

Hearing Elena's words, Tokisaki Kurumi also looked puzzled. After all, she didn't quite understand the matter of automatons. Although she had been turned into an elf, which was like the power in fantasy works, Tokisaki Kurumi still didn't understand many things like magic and technology. Technology was relatively easy to understand; she could just have her past selves pass on the knowledge they had learned. However, Tokisaki Kurumi had no way of understanding magic.

"Oh? What's the reason?"

After wiping Yuhka's face clean, Kurumi Tokisaki picked up Zafkiel's pistol and fired a "Fourth Bullet" at Yuhka's now-blackened clothes. Yuhka's body became much cleaner, but he looked at Kurumi Tokisaki with a puzzled expression. After all, Yuhka saw that Kurumi Tokisaki had just used the Fourth Bullet to clean the black ash off his body, but why didn't she use it on him before, and instead rubbed his face with a towel?

This made Yuhaka wonder if Tokisaki Kurumi was an idiot.

It's not so much that Kurumi Tokisaki didn't know what Yhaka was thinking, but rather that Kurumi did it on purpose, her goal being to rub Yhaka's cat ears and slightly chubby cheeks.

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Elena explained it to her and also asked Elodie to show Kurumi the second automaton she had made.

As Elodie placed the parts from the storage cabinet one by one onto the experimental table, Kurumi Tokisaki could see what Elodie was making for her second automaton. Unlike Elodie's first automaton, "Leivatin," the second automaton had a humanoid structure. Clearly, Elodie wanted to create a humanoid automaton.

After all, having fully mastered the knowledge of automata that Bronya had given her, Elodie had begun to create complete automata. Tokisaki Kurumi was surprised to see the humanoid mechanical skeleton on the experimental table. She hadn't expected that Elodie could create an automata skeleton so easily.

Unlike the human skeleton, the skeleton of an automaton is more like the structure of a clock, giving it a strange and beautiful appearance.

Kurumi Tokisaki, standing to the side, looked at the mechanical structure and skeleton of the automaton with a hint of surprise and said:

"Oh my gosh~ As expected of Miss Elodie, how did you manage to solve the automaton skeleton problem so quickly?"

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Elodie looked at Kurumi with a puzzled expression and said:

"The skeleton? No, I've already built it; it's just missing the energy and decorations."

Upon hearing Elodie's words, Tokisaki Kurumi was stunned. Elaina, standing nearby, flashed a V-sign and said to Tokisaki Kurumi:

"With Miss Elodie and I working together, creating the skeleton of an automaton was a piece of cake!"

After receiving Elena's answer, Tokisaki Kurumi was at a loss for words. Meanwhile, Yuhaka clapped his hands with an expression of "I'm the best!" Of course, Yuhaka didn't understand any of this. The only thing he could understand was that Elodie said the automaton was almost finished, so the clueless Yuhaka clapped and cheered.

"Then why not equip this automaton with it?"

Upon hearing that Elodie and the others were making a second automaton, Kurumi Tokisaki asked her own question, since she didn't know why Elodie and the others weren't assembling the automaton.

When Elodie and Irene heard Kurumi Tokisaki's question, they looked a little embarrassed and explained:

"Well... the second automaton has quite a lot of size and parts, so it would be a bit too big to assemble. Plus, we haven't assembled the magic core yet, so we don't plan to assemble it yet to avoid any errors that would require disassembling the automaton. That's why we haven't assembled it yet."

Elodie, standing to the side, also looked somewhat troubled and said:

"But we've tried a few materials that could be used as a magic core, but the results haven't been ideal..."

After hearing Elodie and Irene's explanation, Kurumi Tokisaki nodded in understanding. However, she then turned to Yuhaka beside her and asked:

"I see... Yu-Yu-chan, do you have any good ideas?"

Yuhaka was completely bewildered when the question was posed to him. He couldn't understand why he, who had originally wanted to play with Elodie, had ended up in this situation.

However, Yuhaka also started to think. A few seconds later, Yuhaka seemed to have an idea. A large light bulb appeared above his head, and he took out something that looked like a white crystal from the imaginary rift. Everyone present looked at the white crystal with puzzled expressions.

"YuYu-chan, what is this white crystal?"

Before Yuhaka could answer Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Elodie gave the answer first:

"That's dragon crystal."

Upon hearing Elodie's words, Tokisaki Kurumi also thought of the large number of white crystals that Yuhaka had arranged in the Imaginary Space, which resembled the island of the Dragon's Elder Regrowth. Of course, in addition to the white crystals, Tokisaki Kurumi also saw crystals of other colors.

The reason Elodie was able to recognize that the thing in Yuhaka's hand was from the Dragon's Crystal Lands was because Yuhaka had previously obtained many things for himself, including materials for upgrading his Soul Stones. Seeing this, Elodie also had a plan to create a suitable magic core.

Seeing Elodie holding the Dragon Crystal in one hand and dragging a bewildered Elena along with the other, Kurumi Tokisaki roughly knew that the other party was about to get to work. So, Kurumi carried the utterly bewildered Yuhaka away from there to avoid Elodie and Elena causing any explosion that might blow them both away.

After leaving Elodie and Irene's studio, Kurumi Tokisaki looked at Yuhka, who was standing to the side, and asked:

"By the way, speaking of which, did Youyou go to see Elodie for something?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's question, Yuhaka raised her little hand excitedly and said:

"Youyou wants to go out and play OwO/~"

After hearing Yuhaka's answer, Tokisaki Kurumi nodded in agreement. After all, aside from the two unidentified beings, the other dimensional invaders had been dealt with, so Kurumi felt it wouldn't hurt to take Yuhaka out for a stroll. After all, Yuhaka had done a lot of work, and it was reasonable for her to relax a bit.

Of course, it wasn't that I wanted to go out and play with Yuhaka.

P.S.: I'm having some writer's block. I'm wondering if I should create some scientist-type characters to provide technology to various countries? I'm not sure if that's appropriate.

Who would be a better choice for China? I can only think of Otto, May, Möbius, and Ming (Akashi).

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1345 [Rainy Day, Rabbit, Loli (Part 1)]

In a city in China, Kurumi Tokisaki was strolling down the street with Yuhaka. Looking at the peaceful scene, Kurumi couldn't help but sigh:

"I must say, this is truly worthy of China. Even after such a major event yesterday, the civilians here didn't engage in any of the protests or demonstrations that you see in other countries. It's really quite remarkable."

After becoming a spirit, Tokisaki Kurumi traveled to various places in her own time to search for information about the first spirit. Unfortunately, she did not find any information about the first spirit in the myths and histories of various countries.

Well... you can't really blame her. After all, who knows that the first spirits only came into this world a dozen years ago? They weren't the ancient monsters that Tokisaki Kurumi imagined, who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. This led Tokisaki Kurumi into a misconception.

Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, also looked puzzled when he heard Kurumi Tokisaki's words, as if he didn't know why humans would protest such a thing, since it wasn't something delicious.

Just then, the sky inexplicably darkened. Kurumi Tokisaki and Yuhaka, who noticed this, looked up. Clearly, the change from sunny to cloudy made them feel uneasy. Not only Yuhaka and Kurumi Tokisaki felt something was wrong, but even the residents on the street felt that something was very strange.

After all, it doesn't make sense for a perfectly sunny day to suddenly turn into a completely cloudy one second, does it?

Kurumi Tokisaki looked at the gloomy sky and said to Yuhaka beside her:

"Yuyu-chan, you've noticed something's not right either, haven't you?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka nodded, indicating that he had also noticed something amiss, such as the weather. This was because Yuhaka could sense climate changes, and in the current weather shift, he saw a strange energy unconsciously altering the climate. Moreover, this was the same energy that Yuhaka had seen on Kurumi Tokisaki before.

"San San's friend OwO?"

Kurumi Tokisaki smiled upon hearing Yuhka's words, and stroked Yuhka's cat-ear beret, saying:

"Unfortunately, I didn't have many friends in my original world~"

However, after hearing Yhaka's words, Tokisaki Kurumi roughly knew what it was. Coupled with its appearance that seemed to want to bring rain, Tokisaki Kurumi could basically deduce who it was. Then, Tokisaki Kurumi looked up at the sky and said to Yhaka:

"However, it seems we do have a little trouble on our end."

After hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, also struck a boxing pose and waved his fists twice, saying:

"Should we beat her up? OwO? Youyou can't wait~"

Seeing Yuhka's aggressive stance, Kurumi Tokisaki was at a loss for words. She wondered why Yuhka always wanted to solve things with violence.

However, when I think about how this target is also an elf like myself, and even one of the more normal elves, at least much more normal than other elves, well... at least the abnormal parts are much less abnormal than the abnormal parts of other elves.

After gathering her thoughts, Kurumi Tokisaki explained to Yuhaka:

"Our next target is a child about the same age as Youyou-chan. Would you like to make a new friend, Youyou-chan?"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka's eyes lit up, clearly showing his delight at having a new friend.

"Really?"

Kurumi Tokisaki nodded and said:

"Yes, that's true, but that child might be a little shy, so I won't be going over there. You'll have to find them by yourself then, Yu-Yu!"

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka couldn't help but feel a little confused. Why didn't Kurumi Tokisaki come with him? Kurumi herself felt that someone like her might scare others away, and that it might be better for children to go with each other, since they would have more in common.

perhaps?

Kurumi Tokisaki picked up the special communicator given to them by the ACGN Investigation Bureau and contacted the other party, saying:

"ACGN Investigation Bureau, we've encountered an anomaly on our end."

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

Informed by Tokisaki Kurumi, the ACGN Investigation Bureau also learned that a being with the same setting as Tokisaki Kurumi, namely a "spirit," would appear on Yuhaka's side.

To be honest, the ACGN Investigation Bureau was quite shocked to hear about the existence of spirits. Although those spirits are all cute girls who are called "wife" by everyone, they are essentially problem children.

Even Kurumi Tokisaki herself considers herself a problem child. After all, in the novel's plot, the people that Mio Takamiya chooses are basically all problem children. If they weren't problem children, it would be hard for Mio Takamiya to fool others into being her filter for crystals.

Of course, the above is not what the ACGN Investigation Bureau is worried about. What the ACGN Investigation Bureau is more worried about is the "spacequake" caused by the Pokémon. Spacequakes have extremely strong destructive power, and of course, the scale of the damage they cause varies.
