...Still Peaceful...
Elena gets to the house (tired) with Anko who left her. There was no reason for Anko to visit Elena's residence. Instead of going there and interrupting, he chose to go home to his own residence.
"Naruto, I'm home!" greetings Elena when entering the living room.
There was no answer from inside the house. The room still looked quiet, with no one to return a greeting or someone seen inside.
"Eh? Naruto?" elena asked when she didn't get an answer. "I don't think the door is locked. He should still be in here, right? There's no way my sister would be that careless to the point of not locking the door on the way out."
Elena was looking for where Naruto was. He did not use the Branching because the house was not too spacious, besides he also had a lot of free time. If using too much ability for things to go to waste, Elena would instead find it too easy and there was nothing really needed to be done in this life.
*Clack!*
Elena opened Naruto's room, and found her sister who was engrossed in reading the book she found this morning. So engrossed, he did not listen to the sound of the door opening or the greeting of Elena who had previously sounded quite loud.
'Well, it's good that I don't bother him while studying seriously. Noctis was once a teacher, but some of the explanations are quite difficult and convoluted. Before becoming a teacher, Noctis was indeed a solitary scientist, so he did not have communication skills that were not good enough.'
*Clack!*
Elena closed the room door and went to another room. As a good brother, is it not good if we disturb the sister who is studying very seriously?
"Well, since Naruto is learning, Sasuke is practicing chakra control (seen using a Branching, and Sakura is training indistinctly (seen using a Branching), what good am I doing, huh?" elena asked herself.
'What if you go home? You haven't visited them in a long time, have you? Besides, I'm sure they've missed you a lot.'
"It seems like it's a good idea. But, the author of this novel does not want me to meet them because the original novel is still not finished A.K.A ongoing. Isn't that a spoiler if we show the latest atmosphere of the kingdom of Pulchrasia?"
'Hmm, that's right too. Then, what are we going to do?'
"I think I'm going to play Bandori (BanG Dream: Girl Band Party!). I haven't played that game in a long time."
'This is not No Game No Life. Don't change the genre of this novel or the author will get angry. After all, the author of this novel, right, rarely plays traditional games and is not good at writing game-themed novels.'
"OK, enough jokes. This way I still have to go back to my home world to meet Noctis and question the world with abundant natural energy. You should also know, right now your body is only half of the original. If we don't have his replacement energy, you won't be able to go back to being in prime power."
*whirl!*
An open black portal spun before Elena. The occasional flow of electricity snatched out from the center of the portal. Maybe some people will know because of the electricity that strikes, but it is only skin and does not have any side effects.
"Well, it's time to visit a place I haven't been to in a long time!"
*tap!* *zlab!*
---
*tap!*
On the other side of the portal, Elena was greeted with clean air and beautiful scenery. He appeared in the middle of a dense forest with some tall shrubs up to his thighs.
"Sigh, this place is still the same as usual, yes. No one takes care of this forest, so the plants here are too dense. The people in this village are a little lazy, anyway. More precisely, they were the kind of people who were haunted."
*tap!* *srash!* *srak!*
Elena jumped onto a tree branch and walked through the forest while cutting off all the leaves that covered her path. The dense forest was not only at ground level, but the leaves on top of the tree also blocked Elena's rate.
It took quite a long time indeed, but Elena finally managed to get out of the extremely dense forest. Today, in front of it is a traditional Japanese-style wooden house with a spacious courtyard decorated by ornamental grass. Traditional house + locations around the beautiful. Hmm, what a fitting combination, yes. Author to envy with a fairly quiet residence like that.
(Those who feel the house is crowded, can immigration there, dong.)
On the terrace of the house, a woman was sitting casually with a glass of green tea next to her.
The woman looks 28 years old, has red hair, and amber eyes. What distinguished him from ordinary women, was that he had fox ears on his head and two fox tails. He wears a red kimono with a flame pattern on his back and the tip of his arm. The woman exuded a calm and peaceful feeling around her, as well as she looked passive and did not have much work.
"Don't see you, Ayaka? How's it going? Are you okay today? Have you got any life motivation?" greet Elena while smiling kindly.
"Why do I feel offended by your last question." Ayaka looked at Elena lazily.
'Pst, Elena, who is he? Why does he have almost the same characteristics as me?'
'His name is Hoshiyori Ayaka. He is actually a nine-tailed fox demon, which will increase by one every 100 years. Because he currently has 2 tails, so you can guess for yourself if he is 200 years old.'
"So what did you come here for? Do you want to take your pet? I guess it's a good idea because you never gave her the cost of eating." Ayaka stared intently at Elena, reminiscent of Elena's pet.
"No, no, I came here on some other business. Besides, didn't my pet help you out in this place enough?" Elena shook her head while giving a denial.
"Huft, if it wasn't for him being quite useful, I would have abandoned him for a long time." Ayaka let out her breath tiredly.
"Already, already, anyway happy if you still take good care of it. Anyway, I want you to take care of my pet for longer."
"By the way, I've been aware of it since. But who is he? Don't tell me you want to put him in my place." Ayaka pointed towards Elena, more precisely at Kurama who was inside Elena's body.
Kurama was speechless while sweating coldly knowing that the woman in front of him had learned of his whereabouts. He did not expect that the woman in front of him would be able to know of his existence when he did not put up any vigilance at all.
