Simultaneously transmigrating, I, with my extraordinary talent, relied entirely on myself.

If we could observe it closely, we might be able to detect some weaknesses.

"Are you really Yarin?" Kotori Itsuka interrupted Yarin's attempt to poach her, and quickly asked.

"Otherwise, who do you think I am?" Yalin asked with a smile.

Perhaps it's a Westcott impersonation?

Kotori Itsuka silently complained to herself.

In just six months, he was completely transformed, becoming an elf and achieving such an outrageous feat that even Allen, Westcott's right-hand man, was willing to act as his assistant.

How could an ordinary high school student achieve this level?

Even if someone told Kotori that Yarin had been brainwashed and even had his body taken over, and that everything was currently Westcott's scheme, she would still find it more reasonable.

That's why it wasn't Itsuka Shiori, their ace, who came.

Before devising a strategy, it's essential to ascertain the specific circumstances of the individuals involved.

If it really was Westcott's conspiracy, then naturally the farther away his sister was, the better.

Although Kotori Itsuka had never met the founder of DEM directly, she knew quite a bit about him.

After observation, Yalin's personality has not changed and he is the same as before in all aspects, so it can be confirmed that he is the same person.

This only made Kotori more confused as she breathed a sigh of relief.

The meaning behind DEM's move is incomprehensible!

Could it be that Arlin has truly replaced Westcott and become the one in power?

"How did you become an elf? DEM took [the princess] away, what do they intend to do to her?"

Unsure of the situation, Kotori Itsuka chose to ask directly.

After all, she and Yalin were quite familiar with each other, and if the other party was the person in question, she could probably get some information out of him.

To be mistaken for an elf?

Yalin paused, his expression peculiar.

Her previous performances were indeed somewhat similar, but since Murasame Reine had been working as an analyst at Fraxinus, she did not secretly clarify the rumor.

In what capacity do you intend to ask this question?

Instead of answering Kotori's question directly, Yarin asked a question in return.

"Is she Shiori Itsuka's sister, the commander of Fraxinus, or a Flame Spirit? The answers differ depending on her fundamentally different identities."

"Who told you this?"

After her identity was exposed, Kotori Itsuka stood up in shock.

Her identity as an elf should not be known to the outside world.

Could this be a connection between elves?

"Don't overreact," Yalin said calmly, taking a sip of his coffee. "You're underestimating DEM's intelligence capabilities."

"If you were the younger sister, how would you answer?"

Kotori Itsuka calmed down, tore open the lollipop, and popped it into her mouth to stimulate her taste buds.

"Honey, if you can't handle something this important, go back and play with your sister."

Yalin responded with a smile.

Kotori Itsuka's face darkened; this guy really had a twisted sense of humor.

"In the capacity of the commander?"

"As a member of an opposing organization, how dare he show up so brazenly on DEM's territory. Allen, arrest this commander."

Notify Ratatosk to prepare for the ransom.

Yalin's expression changed instantly, and he spoke coldly. The speed of this seamless transition left Kotori completely bewildered.

At this command, Eren immediately activated the manifestation device to transform, radiating a sharp aura that made Kotori Itsuka tense.

She's not a fully evolved spirit anymore, so fighting Allen would just mean getting beaten up.

"As an elf!"

Kotori Itsuka quickly spoke up, but regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

From DEM's perspective, their attitude towards the spirit would definitely be even worse; she should be changed to Shiori's younger sister's identity.

"Allen, stop for now."

Yalin raised his hand to stop his assistant's movement and said gently.

"I am quite interested in elves, so I have a certain degree of goodwill and tolerance towards them."

As long as you don't cause a spacequake that endangers humanity, everything is fine.

As for the princess, I'll be in charge for now. She's quite content with her current life and won't cause any trouble for the world.

"Your expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book."

Kotori Itsuka couldn't help but retort.

How come I never noticed before that Yalin's personality is so fickle?

However, she gleaned useful information from this conversation.

Yalin has goodwill towards the elves, DEM's course of action has changed, and the princess is currently in good condition.

If this isn't a lie, then it's truly remarkable.

Kotori Itsuka's heart stirred slightly as she looked at Eren.

He found her staring at him intently, creating a great sense of pressure. He, however, took Yalin's words for granted, showing no extra emotion.

Could it be that DEM has really undergone a change of leadership?

What was initially considered nonsense is now becoming increasingly likely.

If this is the case, both sides may be able to change their previous strategies and stop their covert hostility and conflict.

Murasame Reine stared at Yalin, her eyes, hidden beneath dark circles, seemed to be lost in thought.

"We've already revealed enough information; continuing would cost more."

Allen, see the guest out.

Yalin waved his hand, signaling Allen to kick the two out.

They're not students from Lai Chan High School, what kind of behavior is it for them to stay here all the time?

As the principal, he had to stop this unhealthy trend.

"Even after splitting ten spirit crystals, this Primal Spirit is still troublesome."

Yalin assessed Takamiya Mio's condition: "If we don't open the Paradise of Reincarnation, we can handle her."

Even the Temple of All Things and the Angels of Nothingness could hardly pose a significant threat to him.

However, with the unfolding of the Paradise of Reincarnation and the appearance of the neighboring world, the difficulty of eliminating Mio Takamiya will increase significantly.

Unless Yarin is destroyed along with the neighboring world, Mio Takamiya will likely be in a state of locked health.

Regardless of whether Yalin can actually do this, it would be a pity if the neighboring world were destroyed.

Allen stared intently at Kotori Itsuka as she left, his desire to defeat and capture her undisguised.

"Boss, since you want to collect the power of the spirits, why don't you let me go into battle? I'm sure I can bring back the spirit crystal of the fire spirit."

She remembered Yalin's promise and was much more proactive than before.

"Don't make any rash moves," Yalin glanced at Allen, stopping her from courting disaster.

If we really send Allen, he'll probably be secretly dealt with by Mio Takamiya.

Yalin doesn't quite understand this. Why did Takamiya Mio not eliminate DEM in the past thirty years, but instead let Isaac, this scourge, continue to cause trouble?

Whether it's due to a threat to the plan or past hatred, he should be killed as soon as the opportunity arises.

However, he ended up dying together with Isaac.

Perhaps this is the ending she wanted?

......

Rain, endless rain.

Looking out the window at the dark, cloud-covered sky and the sirens blaring throughout the streets, Yalin knew that Yoshino Himegawa had officially made her appearance, codenamed [The Hermit].

This little girl's threat level is quite low among elves, second only to the useless Erya.

The spacequake was also quite small in scale, and the damage it caused was incomparable to that of Tohka. Even if left unattended, it would not cause much damage.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt for DEM to get involved.

Who can blame me when Xiao Si is so cute?

"Ju Nai, detect the main areas where high concentrations of spiritual energy are gathered. Call in the satellites for detection," Yalin said casually, raising his wristwatch.

"Yes, brother." In the wristwatch, Orochi immediately carried out the task, allocating some of the computing power to the new task.

As for the main thread, we will continue to observe and learn from Yalin.

As an AI sprite, she needs sufficient reference data for analysis in order to understand humans.

Yalin, as her creator and her "father," is the most suitable person to be with.

Ten breaths later, the wristwatch projected a holographic image in front of Arin, displaying Yoshino's position and status in real time.

“Brother, AST is heading towards the Hermits’ location. Should we stop them? The Mythical Beast Mech Squad is ready to depart at any moment,” Orochi said casually.

"The AST organization can have Allen lead the team to negotiate. As for the spirits, Shiori Itsuka is trying to take action."

Yalin gazed at Itsuka Shiori, who had been teleported from a corner of the campus to the ship, wondering how this girl would win over the spirits.

Considering that Tohka's progress was ruined by Ayrin before it even began, Shiori can only be considered a novice at the moment.

Yalin became interested in this former friend and casually gave him an order.

"Instruct Allen to keep an eye on the hermit for now, and if there's an opportunity, bring Itsuka Shiori back."
