The Ultimate Lich King

"Well, it's gentler than I expected, but the damage to the streets will be a headache for AST to repair."

On the way Ye Yu took Shixiang home, Kotori's gloating laughter sounded from the headphones.

"I'm also very troubled. I don't know what to do to make them give up their pursuit of elves."

Ye Yu said helplessly, while Qinli continued to speak on the other side.

"There is no way around this. What if we don't solve the real problem of space?"

"Is there a space earthquake? The true scale of the space created by the four elements is really not worth mentioning. In the final analysis, it is because the elves do not have decisive and powerful power, so this is the reason why they are being bullied wantonly."

Ye Yu said this calmly, causing Qinli to fall into silence again.

"You can't deny it, right? The damage I caused was so terrible, but AST didn't dare to do anything to me. This is the deterrence brought by absolute power."

"Well, that's the truth, but it's a bit too extreme. Do you want to lead Tohka astray?"

Qin Li finally had the chance to say what he had been holding in his heart, while Ye Yu was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently.

"This is not to bring bad luck, but to tell her the truth. After all, this world is not as perfect as imagined."

The conversation between the two ended abruptly. Ye Yu knew that what he had done was only the first step. There was still a long way to go to change the inherent impression of elves in the eyes of humans.

Wuhe House had already appeared in front of him. Before he could even knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.

Appearing in front of Tohka and Ye Yu was Itsuka Shiori who looked a little anxious. The girl also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Ye Yu and Tohka standing in front of her.

"You two...are finally back. Toh-ka, you are serious. Don't run out without saying a word. If Kotori hadn't told me that you were looking for Ye Yu, I don't know how long I would have worried. .”

"Then...I'm really sorry about that."

Shixiang touched her head and looked very embarrassed, while Ye Yu shook his head helplessly and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, okay, just come back. Look, you're all wet again. Come in and change your clothes."

He asked Shixiang to leave with him, and Ye Yu also walked into the house on the other side, just in time to see Qinri walking down from the second floor.

"You came back really quickly."

"Because there is a space transfer device."

Kotori said this matter-of-factly and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"I thought about it for a while, and regarding AST, it seems that this problem will be fundamentally solved."

"Well... basically solve it? What do you want to do?"

As if smelling traces of dangerous meaning in Ye Yu's words, Qin Li asked nervously.

"Where is the headquarters of AST?"

"Hey, hey, hey... don't mess around. Are you planning to take down the AST headquarters?"

"It's not such an exaggeration. What kind of person have I become in your eyes?"

Seeing Qin Li's nervous look, Ye Yu said this with a bit of laughter and tears.

"Well, your expression and tone make it look like I'm going to kill all those guys."

Kotori said this exaggeratedly, then peeled off another lollipop and threw it into his mouth.

"Anyway, asking you to go find those people at AST will only make things worse, so let's forget it."

"But it will be really troublesome if this problem is not solved. If they keep watching the elves' actions all the time."

"Don't forget our original intention, which is to use peaceful means to make the world accept elves. If you directly use violence to threaten AST, you are putting the cart before the horse."

Kotori sighed and said this.

"Besides, even if you go to the AST branch in Tengu City, it's meaningless. The person in charge there is Ryouko Kusakabe, and you've seen her many times. If you can't find the real person behind the scenes, all these things are done. It doesn’t make any sense.”

"Where is the headquarters of AST?"

"That's enough for you. I told you not to do this."

Wuhe Qinli said helplessly as Ye Yu said that she was a bit dumbfounded.

Although he still looked unwilling, Ye Yu finally gave up the idea, and soon the next day arrived.

Today is May 13th, Saturday. At ten o'clock in the morning, an uninvited guest visited Wuhe's house.

"I have an appointment with Miss Tohka. We are going shopping today."

Standing at the door and looking at Ye Yu, Murasame Lingyin said this with hazy eyes, making people worry that she would suddenly fall down at some point.

"Well... when did you make the appointment?"

Ye Yu was slightly stunned. In his impression, Tohka didn't seem to have had any contact with Murasame Reine recently.

"It's okay, I'll make an appointment right away." Murasame Lingyin said matter-of-factly, pushing up her glasses, which made Ye Yu's mouth twitch involuntarily.

"Because yesterday's incident made Tohka's mood a little ups and downs. If she is in a bad mood, things can easily get into trouble, so I plan to invite her to go shopping and ease her mood."

When Murasame Reine walked into the room, Ye Yu saw that her outfit was not the usual white clothes and military uniform. You can still see the injured bear doll's knitted clothes on the chest, the dark trousers, and the shopping-style bag on the shoulder.

"Oh...is that what it looks like?" Ye Yu nodded in understanding. Although Tohka didn't show anything, she did seem a little angry when she looked at the girl yesterday.

"Okay, I'm going to find Tohka." Murasame Lingyin said, bypassing Ye Yu and heading to the second floor.

The two of them went upstairs together and came to the innermost room on the second floor of Wuhe's house. A piece of paper with the word "Tokyo" written in ugly fonts was posted on the door of the room.

"Tohka, I want to go shopping, can you go out with me?" Murasame asked after gently knocking on the door.

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Tohka poked her head out to look at Ling Yin and then at Ye Yu.

"Ye Yu wants to go together?"

"It's better to forget what I said."

"Hey...if Ye Yu doesn't go, I will..."

When Ye Yu said this, Tohka looked like she wanted to refuse, but Murasame Lingyin quickly added another sentence, immediately changing the girl's mind.

"...How about going out to eat while shopping?"

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Tohka walked out of the door and stared at Murasame Reine expectantly and spoke.

"When do we leave?"
