I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Upon hearing Yoshida Yuko's question, Chiyoda Momo looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "Oh, it's very simple. I'm quite familiar with the magicians living in this area, so I asked Yuko for her address and came here quickly. But I didn't expect you to come here too, Xiamiko."

P.S.: I've forgotten too many details about the Street Corner Demon Clan, it's giving me a headache.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1882 [Mébius: Who are you calling auntie?!]

Upon hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yoshida Yuko was also dumbfounded. She clearly hadn't expected there to be such a way to find Yuhaka's house. Yoshida Yuko had come here by train specifically to find Yuhaka, but after arriving, she realized a big problem: she... didn't know where Yuhaka's house was.

And so the scene that led to the previous encounter with Yuhaka and the others occurred.

Thinking about this, Yoshida Yuko also had an annoyed expression. Then, Yoshida Yuko wondered why she had come to Yuhaka's side. Then she wondered if Chiyoda Momo had come to capture her.

Thinking of this, Yoshida Yuko revealed a bright white smile, and Chiyoda Momo shook her head as if she could read Yoshida Yuko's mind, saying, "No, I didn't come here to arrest Natsumi. I came here to apologize."

"Apologize?" Upon hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yuhaka looked at her with a puzzled expression, clearly not knowing what Chiyoda Momo had done to upset him. Seeing Yuhaka's confused expression, Chiyoda Momo explained, "Ah, it was a misunderstanding last time. Last time, I thought you were a hero who came to fight the demons, and I accidentally got into a fight with you. At that time, a large number of trees were blown away by us."

Upon hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yoshida Yuko couldn't help but recall what had happened that night. When she went to find Yuhaka and Chiyoda Momo, she saw a scene of various trees flying wildly in the deep mountains. Thinking of that chaotic scene, Yoshida Yuko couldn't help but recall the scene of walking home alone in the deep mountains. At that time, Yoshida Yuko felt that her legs didn't look like her own.

This memory left a very deep impression on Yoshida Yuko's mind...

Upon hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yuhaka recalled the time he played with Chiyoda Momo last time. Yuhaka clapped his hands, seemingly remembering something, but at the time, Yuhaka just thought that the other person was playing with him, and he didn't care much about what happened back then.

However, Chiyoda Momo brought some sweets as an apology gift. If she hadn't found out how many people were in Yuhaka's family from the magician beforehand, Chiyoda Momo probably wouldn't have had enough sweets for Yuhaka and the others.

After expressing her apologies, Momo Chiyoda looked at Yuko Yoshida with some confusion and asked, "But why is Shamiko here? Are you here to thank Yuyu?"

"Eh? Eh?! You forgot?!" Yoshida Yuko was the first to hear Chiyoda Momo's words and suddenly remembered the time when Yuhaka took her home. After all, that memory was too terrifying for Yoshida Yuko. Being held by someone and flying at high speed in the sky is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

This caused Yoshida Yuko to subconsciously forget about the matter. Now that she remembered it, Yoshida Yuko's face turned pale. At this moment, Yoshida Yuko, who wanted to bring something for Yuhaka, also remembered the curse in her family that "the monthly living expenses are only 4 yen", which made Yoshida Yuko's family have no money to bring Yuhaka and the others any thanks.

Yoshida Yuko felt utterly hopeless about this; it was all the magical girl's fault! Thinking this, Yoshida Yuko glared at Chiyoda Momo with a puffed-up expression, her tail pointing at Chiyoda Momo as if it wanted to poke her. Chiyoda Momo, in turn, tilted her head and looked at Yoshida Yuko expressionlessly, a small question mark appearing above her head, clearly not understanding why Yoshida Yuko was looking at her with puffed-up cheeks.

"Xia Meizi, you still haven't told me why you came here?" Chiyoda Momo asked, looking at Yoshida Yuko. After all, judging from Yoshida Yuko's words, she didn't seem to be here to express her gratitude. So why was she here?

When asked about Chiyoda Momo's question, Yoshida Yuko paused for a moment, then remembered that she had come to become an apprentice. Suddenly, Yoshida Yuko puffed up like a pufferfish, puffed out her chest, made a "hmm" sound, pointed at Chiyoda Momo, and said, "Hmph, good question, Momo. I've already become Yuko's apprentice. I'll learn skills from Yuko to defeat you. Be prepared, magical girl!"

Upon hearing Yoshida Yuko's words, Chiyoda Momo blinked and was slightly taken aback as she looked at the smug-looking Yoshida Yuko. After a moment of surprise, Chiyoda Momo looked at Yoshida Yuko's slender tail and said, "Oh~ I see. No wonder Natsumi came here. So she came to find Yuko to become her apprentice?"

Thinking of this, Chiyoda Momo nodded, looking at Yoshida Yuko with a very gratified expression, and said, "Yes, Yuko is very strong. If she were to teach Natsumi, she would definitely be better than me, right?"

"Huh?" Yoshida Yuko looked bewildered upon hearing Chiyoda Momo's reply, clearly puzzled by her words. Shouldn't Chiyoda Momo be wary of her?

Thinking of this, Yoshida Yuko's tail curled into a question mark shape, and Mebius also had a question mark expression. After all, shouldn't Yoshida Yuko and Chiyoda Momo be enemies to Mebius?

Möbius felt that the two of them were like a strange pair of enemies, which made him wonder if the world was strange or if he himself was too strange.

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

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

Afterwards, Yuhaka invited Yoshida Yuko and Chiyoda Momo to stay for dinner, and they didn't refuse. The reason was that Yuhaka wanted to see how strong Yoshida Yuko was later. Although Yuhaka could tell from his senses that Yoshida Yuko couldn't even beat Marutori, Yuhaka felt that she might have some ability, so he planned to test her after dinner.

Chiyoda Momo stayed with Yuhaka because she wanted to see how Yuhaka trained Yoshida Yuko. She had also heard that Yuhaka's cooking was delicious, and after hearing this, she looked up Yuhaka's Meru Cat Restaurant online. Although there were few reviews, they were all positive.

Chiyoda Momo was also curious about what kind of dishes Yuhaka would cook that would receive unanimous praise and not a single negative review.

Soon, after Yuhaka and the others arrived at the kitchen located in the ancient tower, Chiyoda Momo and Yoshida Yuko couldn't help but show surprised expressions. After all, it was the first time for them to see a place with so many cats, which made them very curious about this place.

"Ancestor, where is this place?" Yoshida Yuko asked the ancestral statue in her arms, her mind filled with questions. The ancestral statue thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... if I'm not mistaken, we've probably come to another world."

"Huh? Huh?! Another world?!" Upon hearing the ancestral statue's reply, Yoshida Yuko was stunned for a moment, then looked at the ancestral statue in her hand with a surprised expression and said, "Wait, does that mean we've come to another world?!"

Chiyoda Momo, after sensing her surroundings, nodded and said to Yoshida Yuko, "Yes, that's right. The mana content in the air here is very high, much higher than on Earth. It's unbelievable." Hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yoshida Yuko looked bewildered. For some reason, she couldn't sense the mana that Chiyoda Momo mentioned, and she couldn't help but feel a little out of place.

However, Yoshida Yuko quickly stopped thinking about these things. After all, there were many new things to see and do, and her attention was soon drawn to the cats running around.

Now that Mebius had a physical form, he became quite interested in the place and couldn't help but grab a passing Palico and rub it. The Palico being rubbed looked completely bewildered and at a loss. But just then, Mebius caught a glimpse of a familiar crimson color out of the corner of his eye. Seeing this, Mebius put down the Palico, and the Palico, taking advantage of Mebius's inattention, quickly ran away. After all, Mebius's rubbing of the Palico wasn't like a massage like Eugène's; it looked more like he was measuring the body's organs and skeletal structure, which frightened the unfortunate Palico so much that it fled in terror.

After the Palico escaped, Mebius didn't pay attention to the escaped Palico. Instead, he focused his gaze on the familiar crimson color he had seen earlier. Although it was only for a moment, Mebius didn't think he had seen it wrong. With that in mind, Mebius went to the kitchen where the kitchen cat was located.

Here, Mebius saw a large number of cats wearing aprons and chef's hats handling ingredients and cooking. The place was just as lively as the canteen kitchen of the old Moth of Fire, but this kitchen was larger and had more chefs.

Watching the kitchen cats busily working, Mebius felt a bit out of place. After all, among a large group of cats, Mebius stood out conspicuously, which caused many of the kitchen cats to turn their curious gazes toward him. Mebius was not used to these curious but not malicious gazes, as he used to be looked at with fear or disgust by most people.

However, when Mebius saw a certain spot in the kitchen, he spotted the familiar crimson hair and fox-like ears. The person looked just like his former partner, "Yae Sakura." Upon seeing this, Mebius felt an urge to call out to her, but then he remembered that apart from himself, there didn't seem to be any familiar faces from that era here.

Thinking of this, Mebius stopped trying to call out to the other person. But at that moment, when Mebius saw the other person turn around, he immediately felt that the other person looked very familiar, like Yae Sakura, but not Yae Sakura.

At that moment, Mebius saw the person who looked like Yae Sakura staring at him with a surprised expression and saying, "Eh? Eh?! Aunt Mebius?!" When she heard the other person call her Aunt Mebius, Mebius's forehead veins bulged and she put on a kind smile, looking at the other person as if to say, "Who are you calling 'Auntie'?"

Seeing the other person's kind expression, the other person was not intimidated at all. Instead, they looked at Mebius with a happy expression and said, "It really is Aunt Mebius! I never expected to see Aunt Mebius here." The scarlet-haired, fox-eared girl in front of Mebius was Yae-ryu, whom Bronya and Sirin had found in the world of [NieR: Automata].

Yae Suzu was surprised and happy to see Mebius. Although she had made many new friends here, she was even happier to meet an old acquaintance.

Seeing the chattering girl in front of him, Mebius sighed. To be honest, Mebius hadn't expected to meet Yae Sakura's sister, Yae Rin, here. To be honest, Mebius didn't have a very good impression of the girl. Of course, this wasn't because Yae Rin had been the last straw that broke the back of human civilization, but because her accident had made Mebius feel a sense of disgust towards the human race.

At the same time, Mebius also felt sorry for the poor girl. If he had been determined to bring her from Mei's laboratory to his side back then, perhaps the Herrscher of Corruption would not have been born.

However, Mebius could now sense the Herrscher aura emanating from Yae Rin, which made him unsure whether Yae Rin was the cute girl he knew who clung to her older sister, or the Herrscher of Corruption who was destroying human civilization with hatred in her heart.

But... Mebius felt the former was more likely.

P.S.: It's been so long since I watched *The Demon Girl Next Door* that I forgot the "田" (field) in Chiyoda Momo's name. By the way, why does my input method have the word "Chiyo Momo"? That's really strange...

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1883 [The Heavy Truth]

Outside the kitchen of the Yuhaka Tower, Mebius and Yae Suzu were also sitting on a stone chair for rest. After all, the two of them had been kicked out by the head chef for being in the way in the kitchen. If they wanted to catch up, they shouldn't do it in the kitchen, meow!

Mebius and Yae Suzu, who were bothering the kitchen cat, were also embarrassed and kicked out of the kitchen. They were also given a dessert each.

The two who had been kicked out sat on a stone chair. Yae Suzu looked at Mebius with excitement and asked, "Aunt Mebius, when did you get here?" After all, Yae Suzu mostly worked in the Principality of Biscotti, and sometimes she would return to Yuhaka, so she didn't know when Mebius had arrived.

Regarding Yae Suzu's question, Mebius explained, "I only arrived here a few days ago, and please don't call me 'Auntie'." Hearing Mebius's words, Yae Suzu looked puzzled and said, "Eh? You arrived a few days ago? But I came here yesterday to pick up some goods, and I haven't seen Mebius-Auntie here."

Seeing Möbius's "kind" expression, Yae Suzu changed the word "aunt" to "older sister." In response to Yae Suzu's question, Möbius explained, "It's normal that you didn't see me. After all, my body wasn't fully developed a few days ago."

"Huh?" Upon hearing Mebius's words, Yae Suzu also looked bewildered, clearly not understanding what Mebius meant by the body not being able to perform. Seeing the confusion and bewilderment on Yae Suzu's face, Mebius explained how he had come here.

Hearing that Mebius had been tricked by a mysterious figure into arriving at a place resembling a science fiction novel, where he had become a highly skilled biotechnologist, Yae Suzu was quite surprised. After all, the description of the scene, which resembled Star Wars from a science fiction novel, reminded Yae Suzu of scenes from science fiction movies she had seen before, making her very fascinated.

However, when Yae Suzu thought about her experiences in the world of NieR: Automata, she didn't know what to say. After all, although she had seen all sorts of strange robots there, it was still quite different from the StarCraft world in Mebius's world.

Mebius seemed relieved to hear about what happened to Yae Suzu. After all, the Herrscher of Corruption appeared in that place during an era when the internet was scarce; otherwise, the Herrscher of Corruption might have destroyed that world in the shortest amount of time.

Furthermore, it's quite good that Yae Suzu is back; at least Yae Sakura doesn't have to worry about that. If Yae Sakura knew her sister was dead, who knows what might have happened...

Then Yae Suzu looked at Mebius, who seemed to be deep in thought, and asked, "Um, Mebius, how is my sister doing now?" Upon hearing Yae Suzu's words, Mebius fell silent. After all, Mebius was unsure whether she should tell Yae Suzu about how her sister, Yae Sakura, sacrificed herself to stop her after she became a Herrscher.

After pondering for a while, Mebius told Yae Suzu about the matter, including the story of the Paradise of the Past. Yae Suzu seemed unsure how to react. Seeing her reaction, Mebius reached out and patted her head, saying, "Alright, don't think too much. Once I figure out a way to transfer consciousness to a body, you won't need to worry about your sister anymore."

Hearing Möbius's words, Yae Suzu cheered up and nodded. Seeing that Yae Suzu had perked up a bit, Möbius smiled and looked at her, saying, "Well, that's good. Once my lab is ready, I'll trouble you to come over."

Yae Suzu nodded in agreement to Möbius's invitation, but she quickly sensed something was amiss. What did she mean by waiting until Möbius's lab was ready before going? Hearing this, Yae Suzu broke out in a cold sweat. Her sister had warned her not to enter Möbius's lab casually, or she would be dragged to the lab table. Moreover, Yae Suzu had heard some strange rumors about Möbius's lab, which only increased her fear of it.

"Eh, eh, eh, eh—?!" Realizing what was happening, Yae Rin let out a shocked cry like a giant toy. Meanwhile, Yae Rin from the Möbius Lab immediately moved away from Möbius and looked at her, saying, "Big Sister Möbius, what are you trying to do to me?!"

Regarding Yae Suzu's question, Mebius looked at her with the eyes of someone who had found a good experimental subject and said, "It's very simple. After all, this is the first time I've seen a living Herrscher. It would be a real pity not to do something about it, hehehe~" Hearing Mebius's venomous laughter, Yae Suzu let out a scream and quickly stood up and ran away. Mebius didn't chase after her, but instead watched her flee in a disheveled state with a look of pleasure.

To be honest, meeting someone from the same era here was something Mebius hadn't expected, especially since it was the younger sister of someone he knew. This made Mebius feel a little fortunate. Perhaps so. Even so, Mebius felt that he might have been a little too comfortable in Eughaka's consciousness space. After all, in his original world and the StarCraft world, Mebius was always in a working state and had never been this relaxed.

Mebius also felt a bit bored, which made him slightly uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he decided to give himself a break.

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

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

While dinner was being prepared, Mebius wandered around the ancient tower belonging to Yuhaka by himself. There was no need to worry about getting lost, as there were many cats there; Mebius could simply ask one. After spending a little time, Mebius thoroughly understood the structure of the giant ancient tower. To be honest, Mebius was astonished that ancient humans could build such a massive structure in a world filled with enormous and powerful monsters. Could it be that ancient humans were far more powerful than those of today?

Mebius, who was thinking this far ahead, probably didn't expect that it wasn't like this at all, right? After all, this place was built by Zelus using the system and data capabilities, and Mebius couldn't come up with a solution even when he thought of "snake molting".

In addition, Mebius also took the opportunity to visit the ranch established by Yuhaka outside the tower. After all, Mebius was curious about the extent of genetic engineering that Yuhaka and her people had. However, what did not surprise Mebius was that most of the creatures here had not done too bad genetic engineering. This made Mebius a little curious. Under what circumstances did they create these strange species? Was it because of Yuhaka?

Mebius was also curious about this; he'd ask Yhaka about it next time.

Meanwhile, Chiyoda Momo, Yoshida Yuko, and the others were also quite surprised by the environment, as it was a very rare sight. The cat, who was acting as their guide, explained the situation to them.

After dinner was prepared, Yuhaka used his imaginary number ability to find Chiyoda Momo and the others, as well as Mebius, who were wandering around, and invited them to come and have dinner.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Chiyoda Momo, Yoshida Yuko, and the others were stunned by the dazzling array of dishes before them. Looking at the sheer number of dishes, Yoshida Yuko exclaimed in awe, drooling, "This... so much delicious food! Can we really finish it all?!"

Seeing Yoshida Yuko drooling, Chiyoda Momo took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, saying, "Shamiko, drooling is very impolite. You should be mindful of your image."

Upon hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yoshida Yuko realized what was happening and quickly wiped her mouth with her hand. Thinking about this, Yoshida Yuko couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed. After all, she had been reminded by her rival and had even let the other party see her make a fool of herself. Damn magical girl!

Chiyoda Momo, who couldn't understand Yoshida Yuko's inner thoughts, looked at her with a puzzled expression, wondering what Yoshida Yuko was thinking.

Soon, at Youhaka's urging, everyone took their seats. After choosing their seats, Youhaka didn't waste any time and said that they could start eating. Everyone was used to Youhaka's behavior and didn't say anything.

Yoshida Yuko, on the other hand, seemed somewhat at a loss. After all, there were dozens of different dishes in front of her, making it difficult for her to decide which one to eat first. Chiyoda Momo, unlike the conflicted Yoshida Yuko, directly chose the Herbivorous Dragon Grilled Ribs. The moment Chiyoda Momo ate it, she felt a slight surge of power rising within her, and her magic power was also replenished. Most importantly, the Herbivorous Dragon Grilled Ribs in her hand tasted excellent, at least better than any food she had ever eaten before.

Of course, Chiyoda Momo wasn't the only one to notice this; Mebius also tasted it. After discovering that the food could enhance his physical abilities, Mebius couldn't help but find it quite amazing. After all, this was the first time Mebius had ever tasted a dish that could enhance his physical abilities. Mebius looked at the fried frog leg in his hand with a very novel expression. Regarding the effect of this food on enhancing his physical abilities, Mebius wondered if the ingredients of this world's cuisine—that is, the monsters of this world—all had this effect.

Thinking of this, Mebius couldn't help but think of the Primal Zerg that Narud had mentioned. But even though he wasn't a Primal Zerg, could he still absorb these essences that made him powerful?

After everyone had a hearty meal, Chiyoda Momo patted her slightly bulging belly and said, "Ah... this is probably the best and most I've ever had." Hearing this, Yoshida Yuko's eyes twitched slightly as she looked at Chiyoda Momo's bulging belly. Clearly, Yoshida Yuko hadn't expected Chiyoda Momo to be such a big eater; while she herself was already full, Chiyoda Momo could still eat quite a bit more. Of course, although not as much as Yuhaka, Chiyoda Momo's appetite still amazed Yoshida Yuko, adding the label of "extremely gluttonous" to her impression of magical girls.

After resting for a while, Yuhaka asked Yoshida Yuko to come to the training ground with him. Yuhaka wanted to test Yoshida Yuko's strength and also let her digest her food and absorb the nutrients. Yuhaka's food would improve her physical condition if she ate it for a long time, and moderate exercise would also help her absorb nutrients better.

Upon hearing that Yuhaka wanted her to go along for the test, Yoshida Yuko couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, Yoshida Yuko was quite clear about her own strength. In her first battle with Chiyoda Momo, her fists couldn't even make her tremble. This made Yoshida Yuko a little worried that Yuhaka might be disappointed because of her low strength.

Chiyoda Momo was also very interested in Yuhaka's test and went along with it. Of course, the others were also curious about the strength of Yuhaka's new disciple, especially Ji Lin and the returned Xi Lin, after all, they were also curious about how their junior sister's strength was.

Although they felt that the junior sister in front of them seemed to be very weak, as if she couldn't even beat a giant bird, they couldn't help but wonder if she had some hidden abilities.

Of course, Mebius was also curious about what method the powerful Yhaka would use to test his opponent.

P.S.: Tired...

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1884 [Yoshida Yuko's Test]

Teleported through the imaginary space of Yuhaka, Yuhaka and her companions arrived at a scene resembling the ancient Roman Colosseum. This was the training ground of the Alita tribe, which Yuhaka was temporarily using.

Looking at the magnificent scene before them, Yoshida Yuko and the others, who were visiting for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. After all, the set here gave people a sense of wonder that it was difficult for ancient civilizations to build, which made people feel shocked.

Upon arriving, Yuhaka looked at Yoshida Yuko and said, "Um, Yuko, are you ready?" Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Yoshida Yuko hesitated for a moment with a nervous expression, then nodded, looking like a soldier about to poke a tank with a dung pump.

Seeing how nervous Yoshida Yuko was, Ji Lin patted her on the shoulder and introduced her, saying, "Don't worry, junior sister, with Master Yuko here, you won't get hurt."

With Ji Lin's comforting words, Yoshida Yuko's tense emotions eased slightly. Chiyoda Momo, who was standing nearby, came to Yoshida Yuko's side and patted her other shoulder to encourage her, saying, "Don't worry, Xia Meizi. With your strength, you don't need to worry about hurting Yuko, so attack freely."

"Uh..." Upon hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yoshida Yuko's slender, slightly agitated tail drooped like a withered flower. Looking at Chiyoda Momo with a speechless expression, she retorted, "Momo, it doesn't sound like you're trying to comfort me..."

"Hmm, really? But it's true." Chiyoda Momo tilted her head slightly, puzzled, upon hearing Yoshida Yuko's words. Hearing Chiyoda Momo's words, Yoshida Yuko felt as if a sharp sword had pierced her chest, and she immediately knelt down, clutching her heart.

After getting ready, Yoshida Yuko nervously arrived at the center of the training field. Although Yuhaka's OwO expression didn't seem authoritative, it was a bit difficult for Yoshida Yuko, who hadn't experienced much combat and hadn't even passed many physical education tests.

Yuhaka tilted her head at Yoshida Yuko and said, "Aren't you going to do some warm-up exercises? Otherwise you might get a cramp OwO~" Upon hearing Yuhaka's reminder, Yoshida Yuko exclaimed "Eh?!" and quickly started warming up. For some reason, Yoshida Yuko felt as if her body was full of energy. Usually, she would sweat slightly after warming up, but now she didn't break a sweat at all, although her body was still a bit stiff as always.

After warming up, Yoshida Yuko felt that her body wasn't too stiff, and her nervousness had also disappeared. She took a deep breath, looked at Yuhaka, nodded, and said, "Master Yuhaka! I... I'm ready!"
