Everyone present, except for Yoshino, was on tenterhooks.
What does Kurumi mean by revealing her identity? Does she already know Itsuka Shido's identity and approach them with a purpose?
The people on Ratatoskr all gasped in shock.
They were all caught Kurumi's words.
At the same time, an alarm sounded in Ratatoskr, indicating that the elves' mood was dropping significantly!
Kotori asked urgently, "Why did Nightmare suddenly reveal his identity?!"
After observing calmly for a moment, Kannazuki frowned. "Nightmare seems to know Itsuka Shido's identity and is troubled by being entangled with Itsuka Shido!"
Nightmare, dressed in a black dress, looked dignified. Her long, flowing hair even covered one eye, giving her a mysterious air. However, Kannazuki could still see her impatience through the one eye that was visible.
Based on this, Kannazuki was certain that the other party already knew Itsuka Shido's identity.
Muramasa Reien added at this point, "If the other party had already integrated into the lives of the human world, then when the Spatial Quake occurred, perhaps the other party was watching from somewhere and then learned about Shido's identity."
That's true. For ordinary people, Spatial Quake is a disaster comparable to a massive earthquake, but for elves, Spatial Quake is just a drizzle.
Ordinary people would avoid this at all costs, but elves might even be curious enough to go and watch.
"Is that so... If the other party finds out about your identity and abilities, it will probably be very difficult to continue the pursuit," Kotori said.
Approaching someone with a specific purpose will make them wary.
Especially when you know what the other person's purpose is, you will think that whatever they do is to get closer to you.
"Let's get through this difficult time quickly first, and deal with other things later."
Kotori gave the order, and soon three more answer options appeared on the virtual screen.
[A. An elf? What's that?]
B. Yes, I know you are an elf, and I came here specifically for you.
[C. Don't kill me, sob sob.]
Option A: Play dumb. Sometimes, being confused is a wise choice.
Option B has unknown consequences; the other party is a cat lover, but also a bloodthirsty elf, and to be so blunt...
C was too spineless and was abandoned by everyone.
After a brief but rapid discussion.
Everyone chose A.
Option B's development is too rushed; you need to get to know Nightmare's personality through later interactions before you can choose it.
Choose A: Let Shido leave safely first.
This side of the park.
The atmosphere between the two was a little tense.
The stray cat, oblivious to the atmosphere, was Kurumi's arms; the scent of a stranger made them uneasy.
At this moment, Shido showed an embarrassed and confused expression and asked, "Spirit, what is that?"
Kurumi chuckled.
Are you playing dumb?
"It's nothing, just kidding. Don't you have to go to school? If you delay any longer, you might be late."
"Ah... ah? Oh right... I still have to go to school, so I'll leave the cats to you."
After saying that, Itsuka Shido quickly ran away from the scene.
At that moment, Yoshino's sister emerged from behind Kurumi and said, "Is this the guy who wanted to seal us away? Did he come to find us to seal us away?"
"Oh, who knows?"
Yoshino: "No..."
Yoshino used to be somewhat afraid of her own power because she couldn't control it and worried that it would hurt others. If it weren't for Kurumi, she might have actually accepted Itsuka Shido's seal.
But now that she can control her powers and even venture into other worlds, she doesn't want to be sealed away.
Moreover, she didn't want to share someone's hobby with her other sisters.
Love is always selfish. Becoming part of someone's harem, or accepting someone's harem behavior, is mostly out of necessity.
Kurumi and Yoshino roughly explained the trajectory of this world, so Yoshino understood that if she accepted Shido's seal, she would have to stay by his side for a very long time in the future.
Not far from the park, a teleportation array appeared beneath Shido's feet.
In the blink of an eye, he was back on Ratatoskr.
Shido complained, "This encounter was too dangerous. I was worried she might kill me in an instant."
Kotori could only awkwardly scratch her cheek.
The only reason for the error was that the other party caught us off guard and seemed to know our information. This information gap led to the wrong decision.
"Alright, let's discuss how to approach them now."
Shido was shocked. "Ah, we have to go again?!"
Kotori nodded without hesitation. "Brother, saving the elves is your mission!"
Shidou: "..."
Another day has passed.
Inside the school.
Teacher Xiaozhu is giving a lesson upstairs.
Shido was standing below, lost in thought.
His wandering gaze drifted to the girl in the seat in front of him, Mio Takamiya.
The girl who transferred here a few months ago, and who lives with Nightmare and Hermit.
The strategy suggested by her sister was that Nightmare was difficult to approach. If possible, she could try to approach the Hermit alone first, but the Hermit usually did not act alone, which left Ratatoskr with no way to start. Therefore, she chose this opportunity to walk outside.
Mio Takamiya.
An ordinary person who lives with two elves.
Is she really not an elf...?
Shido looked at the girl who was listening attentively to the lesson with a strange gaze.
After all, if the elves lost control of their power, these ordinary people might die.
Furthermore, elves don't seem to have always lived in this world, so how could Nightmare and Hermit have a friend who is just an ordinary person?
Shido felt that this girl might possess a secret no less significant than that of an elf.
"Wuhe, please pay attention in class!"
The petite Ms. Okamine Tamae appeared beside Itsuka Shido at some point and tapped on his desk as a reminder.
Shido snapped out of his daze, "Ah, I'm sorry, Ms. Kozue."
School's out.
Shido originally planned to find Sawa Tohka instead, and could only watch helplessly as she left the classroom, not knowing where she went.
Then it was time to leave school.
There was absolutely no time to get to know Mio Takamiya throughout the day!
As Itsuka Shido was returning home with Tohka, he sighed helplessly.
At that moment, he saw Mio Takamiya, and his eyes widened instantly.
I never expected to run into her at this time!
"Tohka! Thank you for your help. You go home now, I'll be back later!"
"Huh?"
Before Tohka could react, Shido had already run off, and she could only complain, "Ugh, Shido, really."
Shido quickly ran around a corner, saw the girl walking ahead, and continued running towards her.
Mio Takamiya Itsuka Shido, the pervert who's been staring at me all day."
"Ah??"
Upon hearing the other person's assessment, Shido exclaimed in disbelief, "What... what pervert?!"
"Oh? Then why have you been staring at me all day?"
Mio Takamiya suppressed her gentle expression and looked at him with considerable annoyance.
Shido was dumbfounded. Since Mio Takamiya transferred here, he had never had any contact with her. Why did she have such a bad impression of him?
He had just prepared his greeting lines, but now he couldn't use them at all.
"I'm not..."
Shido wanted to explain his actions, but somehow, when the words came to him, he didn't know how to explain them. He was also out of contact with the people on Ratatoskr, so no one could answer his question.
Shido thought for a moment, then asked, "Yamada-kun, why do you seem to dislike me?"
"Of course, after all, you are that person's son. I hate you so much, I don't want to see you in front of me."
Hearing these words, Shido was somewhat dazed.
Someone who is so gentle in class would actually show such a cold expression.
Wrong.
"Wait, you know my mom and dad?" Shido was dumbfounded.
Weren't they on a business trip? How does Sanda know them? Besides, Sanda doesn't look like someone from her parents' generation. How does she know them?
Mio Takamiya twice, too lazy to talk to Shido, and walked past him into the mall.
"Wait, Sanda-kun."
"I don't know you, Itsuka-kun, please don't come any closer."
Under the warning gaze of Yamada Mio Takamiya, Itsuka Shido couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
When he got home that night, Itsuka Shido told his sister about it.
Kotori was puzzled by this.
I asked my parents, who were away on a business trip, and they didn't know a girl named Mio Takamiya, let alone have any conflict with her.
Sawa's words left the Itsuka family completely bewildered.
Sawa had spoken to Shido about this, Sawa she didn't tell Kurumi.
When the weekend arrived, Kurumi transformed into her reversed state and brought the two of them to the world of Fairy Tail.
Kurumi couldn't resist kicking the black dragon Acnologia (which Mavis had shrunk to the size of a puppy) that was tied up at the door.
Acnologia jumped up instantly, his eyes wide with anger, and roared.
Upon seeing that the person who kicked it was Kurumi, it immediately shut its mouth.
"Work hard, Mavis didn't put you here to rest," Kurumi said with a smile.
Acnologia was speechless.
If he weren't outmatched by Mavis, he would be tied up here.
Yeah, I can't beat this one either.
Therefore, he could only ignore the other party.
Back then, he was an invincible black dragon, and Mavis and Kurumi appeared out of nowhere. He suspected that the power these two possessed even surpassed that of the Grim Reaper Ankhseram...
Yoshino tugged at Kurumi's clothes, "Poor little puppy."
Kurumi: "Little Four, don't be fooled by his pitiful appearance being tied up here. Before anyone could subdue him, his favorite thing to do was to destroy things."
Yoshino's sister: "Oh, so that's a bad guy."
"Yes, they are bad guys."
Acnologia glared at Yoshino and Yoshino's sister, and snorted, "Ignorant humans."
Mio Takamiya and patted his head.
Acnologia wanted to hide, but dared not.
"Oh, Kurumi- san is here, and so is Sawa- san!"
"Welcome to our two beautiful ladies! Oh, and there's another lovely young lady here too."
"Is there another beautiful new lady?"
The guild hall was noisy and chaotic.
Natsu is still fighting with Gray.
Everyone's attention was originally on the two of them, but it was Kurumi suddenly walked in that drew their attention away.
Yoshino's sister exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, this looks like a very lively place. It feels like I've stepped into a world of action and excitement."
Kurumi had previously mentioned that she Yoshino to more friends. This was her first time visiting the Fairy Tail world, and she was immediately amazed by the people there.
"... Are they all powerful beings, yet friends?" Yoshino asked tentatively.
"Certainly."
Kurumi led the two inside and kicked the two boys who were wrestling on the ground aside.
Both of them let out screams of agony.
"Everyone, I've brought a new friend~" Kurumi clapped her hands and then pushed Yoshino forward. "Yoshino, please introduce yourself. Everyone here is a nice person, so don't worry."
Yoshino was still scared and wanted to back down. There were so many people, so much noise, and she was being watched. She was so nervous.
Sawa patted Yoshino's head to encourage her.
"H-Hello everyone... Hello everyone, my name is Yoshino, ouch, it hurts."
Yoshino was so nervous that she bit her tongue and let out a cute, pitiful cry.
Wendy walked over and used magic to soothe Yoshino's pain, smiling as she said, "You don't have to be nervous. I was nervous the first time I came here, but everyone here is very nice, so don't be afraid."
Wendy has a crush on this little girl who also has blue hair.
Yoshino's sister: "That's it! And also, my name is Yoshino's sister!"
Wendy was startled by the doll that suddenly started yelling.
Kurumi grabbed Yoshino's sister's head with one hand and kneaded it flat. "Ah, this is Yoshino's special ability. She and Yoshino are not the same person. Don't be scared by it."
Wendy understood; there were many special abilities in this world, and it wasn't strange for a doll to be able to talk.
Then she came to Sawa and said, "Sawa- neechan, you're here."
Sawa and nodded.
Because the black dragon was captured by Mavis, the other dragons no longer need to hide.
The Fire Spirit power she previously possessed was a destructive power.
Sawa didn't want to bring destruction to others, so she came to the world of Fairy Tail. With Mavis's help, she became a student of the Wind Dragon Grandine.
Wind Dragon Magic has power, but its most powerful aspect is its healing power.
Moreover, this wasn't Sawa's first time in this world, so everyone present recognized her.
At that moment, Mavis heard a familiar voice outside and came out as well.
"You're here! Come up and we'll talk," Mavis greeted from the second floor.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet the guild leader of this guild, Mavis," Kurumi said to Yoshino.
