Nia Honjo was lost in thought and didn't notice the blue-haired female passerby walking past the bookstore.
"But then again, Xiaoya actually let me come back alone. Isn't she afraid I'll disappear? Even though my abilities don't work on her, it's still very easy for her to hide."
Erya had some doubts about this, but didn't pay much attention to it. The idea was just a thought; it was unlikely to be implemented.
Just kidding, not to mention whether she could successfully escape, she didn't want to live a life of hiding and running.
For an elf like her, who finds even going out a hassle, a stable life is the most important thing.
Yalin harbored no ill will towards her; on the contrary, he had done her a great favor. In addition, he was quite powerful, and she felt extremely safe under his protection.
For Erya, who had been arrested once before, this act of heroism was a huge plus. Even though she only liked anime, she couldn't remain indifferent to it.
He even had the urge to depict Yalin's image in a manga.
The only pity is that, despite being only sixteen years old and possessing a perfect 2.5-dimensional appearance, he lacks the vigor of a young man in his behavior.
Teasing someone always takes away some of the fun.
......
"Nia Honjo has arrived in Tengu City. How will Mio Takamiya react?"
Inside the DEM airship bound for Tiangong City, Yalin was curious about what would happen next.
As the saying goes, you need to bait the spot before fishing, and this old lady from Erya's early arrival was his little test.
Well, considering that Mio Takamiya has been planning for thirty years, perhaps she is still sitting on the sidelines.
If that's the case, then Yalin isn't going to hold back.
The ten elves are key to her plan, and the neighboring world is her base of operations that she was born with.
Yalin also has a plan for these two aspects, which he calls "drawing the firewood from under the cauldron".
"Boss, under your orders, DEM will shift its focus from London, England to its Japanese branch."
Three days later, Lord Allen will lead thirteen elite squads from the Second Execution Department to the city of Tiangong Yilong 1 Qisiwusi IX 8 to prepare for the upcoming battle against the elves.
The latest model of the Phantom Beast Bondski (humanoid mech) is currently in continuous production, and it is expected that 3,000 units will be dispatched to the Far East Branch.
Of the 23 satellites in orbit, satellites seven through twelve will cease their original operations to conduct comprehensive monitoring of Tiangong City and the surrounding area.
In the warship's command center, listening to reports from his subordinates at the London headquarters, Yalin tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, marveling at the sheer size and power of DEM Corporation, truly deserving of its title as the world's largest arms dealer.
"Regarding Nightmare's whereabouts, is it possible to find her location now?"
Yalin asked a question, saying he was quite interested in Tokisaki Kurumi.
Well, I used to think of Tokisaki Kurumi as my waifu, but now I'm quite envious of her abilities.
Even among all Pokémon, Zafkiel's mechanics are among the most troublesome.
The ability to manage time is precisely what Yalin lacks.
As for the cost of activating Zafkiel, it was not worth his concern.
Kurumi worries about spiritual power, needing to absorb the time of others to accumulate enough energy. Yalin, on the other hand, doesn't have this problem; he lacks neither time nor energy.
In this respect, Zafkiel is quite suitable for him.
Furthermore, since the other party, Yiyin Sanwu Qisan, also harbors a deep hatred for the Origin Spirit, the two share the same stance, making cooperation a possibility.
Of course, if he could directly acquire Zafkiel's abilities, Yalin wouldn't mind.
"According to intelligence provided by the First Operations Department, Nightmare's activity has decreased significantly compared to the past few years, and it is deliberately moving towards Tiangong City," the subordinate on the screen said respectfully.
“In that case, add Takamiya Mana to the list of those going to Tengu City.” Yalin added, remembering Itsuka Shiori’s younger sister. “How is her health being treated?”
Mana Takamiya's strength ranks among the top three in DEM, and she is able to relentlessly pursue Kurumi Tokisaki's clones. Although she can't defeat the real Kurumi, this still proves her ability.
However, the price for this power is the modification of the body, leaving less than ten years of lifespan.
Although he harbored wicked thoughts about Itsuka Shiori, it wouldn't affect the others.
Therefore, after overthrowing Isaac Westcott's rule, she was given medical treatment to prevent her from dying young.
Well, although considering Mana Takamiya's actual age, she can't really be considered a young girl. Like Miyako, she can be called an old auntie.
Of course, the age of characters in the Date A Live world doesn't need to be considered so precisely. Mana Takamiya was frozen after being captured and only thawed two years ago, making her a true ageless beauty.
"Most of the damage to my body has been repaired, and I am currently recuperating. However, as a trade-off, my utilization of the display device will be significantly reduced."
"That's alright, DEM doesn't lack this fighting force." Yalin didn't care about that.
The majority of DEM's fighting power lies with Allen. This assistant's strength is enough to fight against the spirits, and at present, he can indeed be called the world's strongest magician.
Even though he was defeated by Elliott in the story, it was because Elliott performed exceptionally well.
If it weren't for her presence, Isaac wouldn't have been so arrogant in the story.
Currently, the best-case scenario is that she uses the manifestation device. Otherwise, Eren is normally a complete athletic failure, easily suppressed by ordinary people.
As for truly high-level matches, these combat capabilities are insufficient.
Yalin isn't some kind of devil; he wouldn't exploit his employees like Isaac did.
Therefore, reuniting Kyuuba Takamiya Mana and Itsuka Shiori is his gift to her.
"Yes!" came the reply from the screen, without any objection.
Unlike when Isaac was in power, the current DEM is completely obedient to Yalin, with no one opposing it.
Even if Yalin suddenly decided to blow up DEM and set off fireworks, his subordinates would faithfully carry out his orders.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the first spirit to appear will be Yatogami Tohka. This spirit seems to be the youngest, created by Takamiya Mio after she poured her love into her, and she was only recently born."
Wait a minute, if you calculate it that way, Itsuka Shiori is really too cruel.
Yalin clicked his tongue.
However, this also means that they are easy to fool.
Yalin's plan requires contacting these elves and analyzing their spirit crystals; the method is irrelevant.
Whether it's deception or capture, as long as the goal is achieved, Yalin doesn't care if the actions are slightly excessive in the process.
After all, he's positioned as the boss, so the kind and gentle character should be left to the protagonist, Itsuka Shiori.
......
"I didn't expect Isaac to actually socialize DEM; this is not like him at all."
But with no trace of them for so long, could something really have happened?
In the spacious room, Elliott Baldwin Woodman, the founder of the Ratatosk organization, stared at the message coming from the British intelligence service in London, looking at it several times.
He understood Isaac and knew just how persistent the other was in pursuing his dream.
That's why I doubt the authenticity of this message, thinking it might be part of the other party's plan, and they might be up to something big in secret.
Moreover, Allen is still active in the public eye, and with DEM's recent big moves, he is increasingly convinced that this is a conspiracy.
Isaac may be about to start another war against the elves in an attempt to achieve his goals.
Latatosk also needs to take action in response.
"Karen, give the information about DEM to Fraxinus and tell them to be on high alert."
Elliott spoke to his secretary on the side.
Compared to Isaac, who has always maintained a youthful appearance, his appearance is undoubtedly more in line with his real age.
He then looked at the information about the new executive director, Yalin, and fell into confusion.
Why would this former friend choose such a young man as the apparent manager?
Is there something special about the other party?
.......
When Yalin returned to Tengu City, he immediately located Honjo Nia, who was currently on a shopping spree in Akihabara to satisfy her desires.
This crazy enthusiasm stunned the passersby.
Yalin was speechless; he couldn't quite understand this kind of passion.
However, this did not prevent him from capturing Erya and taking her back to her home.
"Xiaoya, you came back way too fast." Honjou Nia said listlessly, lying on the sofa. She knew this would happen.
Yalin ignored her complaints and said calmly, "I need to use your angel to look up some information."
"As expected, Aya, you only come to me when you need something." Honjou Nia was clearly dissatisfied with Aya's attitude and said in a sullen tone.
Of course, this was just her disguise. As a girl who was over seventeen years old, her mentality was quite stable.
"What do you want?" Yalin was not fooled and stared down at her.
Having spent at least six months together, he already knew what kind of person the other was.
This useless elf is incredibly adept at pushing its luck, and we absolutely cannot tolerate it.
"Ugh, I spent the whole day in Akihabara and bought a ton of stuff. Now my back and waist are a bit sore," Nia said, squinting her eyes.
"Tsk, she's clearly an old lady, yet she doesn't take care of her health. She deserves it." Yalin delivered a critical hit without a care, successfully seeing Erya's stiff face.
"That's very rude of you. I'm a seventeen-year-old girl, you know~" Nia corrected casually.
Even she would care about her age.
"Also, don't change the subject," Erya said, lying down and turning to Yalin.
"This is a massage for a beautiful young girl, does Xiaoya have any reason to resist?"
Why not just steal her angel away?
If their relationship weren't relatively good, he probably would have taught the other person a lesson.
“I’m not really interested in flat-chested people. We’ll talk about it when you get bigger.” Yalin glanced at Erya with disdain. The flatness of this elf was truly appalling. “Flat-chested” was an understatement; it didn’t fit Yalin’s preferences at all.
"Is having flat chests a crime? You need to correct your aesthetic sense."
Erya looked utterly dejected and said weakly.
"Tsk, just this once."
