Chapter 24: Identifier (Guardian)
In the park in front of Tiangong Station, after getting rid of AST's pursuit, Wan Yuri gently put Shiitono with a red face in his arms on the ground.
"Alas! Today is a really new experience, don't you say? Shiitono~"
「…… Hmmm......"
In a mischievous tone, the hand puppet, or the second personality of Shiitono, looked at the blonde girl who had been released from her spiritual state.
Under the hooded cloak in the shape of a rabbit, Shiito snorted softly, and also secretly cast a curious look at Wan Yuri.
In the past, when she was in the present world, she was basically chased and killed by AST, but this time, she met an elf girl like her.
And also expressed a willingness to help her.
"So young lady, who are you, now we can have a good talk~"
Instead of Shiitono, who was silent at first, the hand puppet clapped his hands with a grin.
It's really curious what kind of material can make a puppet make such a humane dexterous action......
"Ah, it's etiquette to give your name before asking, right? That's right, by the way, the name of [Shiito Na] is Si Ito Nayo ~ How is it, isn't it cute~"
Contrary to the introverted and timid Shiito, the hand puppet expressed his doubts to himself, and took the initiative to introduce himself.
"Really...... Is it called "Shiitona"? It's a lovely name."
The approving reply made the hand puppet's mood rise all of a sudden.
"That's right, right~What about you, young lady~"
"Manyuri, this is my name."
"As you can see, an Elf, too."
It's the title of young lady that makes Wan Yuli a little unnatural.
(Well, forget it, don't care about these 'little things' now...... )
With a friendly smile, Wan Yuri put his hands on his knees and half-squatted down, approaching the body that controlled the puppet.
"Shikina should just be the name of this little hand puppet, right?"
Although he had known the girl's name for a long time, Wan Yuli still tried to guide him.
The hand puppet "Shiitona" is an independent personality that exists through the spiritual power of Shiitona.
If she could, she would still prefer to be able to communicate with the 'main personality'.
"Oh yes......"
The movement paused slightly, and the red eyes on the hand puppet flashed with a faint light.
It looked like I was surprised, and I was thinking about something.
「……」
Jitter, jitter.
It seems to be very tangled.
「…… Shiito ...... ......"
He said his name in an almost inaudible voice, and if it weren't for the elven system, others might not be able to hear it.
"—Shishino? It's a cute name."
Smiling, Wan Yuri reached out and touched Shiitono's little head.
And the other party was just a little resistant and unaccustomed when he first came into contact, but he quickly calmed down, and his little face was filled with a cute smile.
「…… Hee-hee-hee............"
Is this the right route?
You know, it is a major breakthrough to be able to let Shiito take the initiative to speak.
Terrified of humans, she met for the first time a 'kind' with kindness to her, and seemed to have decided to take a small step forward.
"Well, let's listen to my 'story' a little bit."
Sitting down on the bench, Wan Yuli patted the seat next to him.
Glancing at his hand puppet, Shiito did not refuse.

"The guys at AST, they look like they've failed again this time."
Raising his eyebrows, he sat on the 'Shen Wuyue Brand Human Body Chair', and sneered in the piano.
Not a mockery, but a matter of course.
With the equipment and level of their current personnel, it is impossible to catch the elves.
"Well, it's just that those in the special forces seem to be aware of the seriousness of the problem this time, and they have moved to transfer personnel from other departments."
Accustomed to someone's perverted behavior with a look of enjoyment, the 'sick beauty' Murayu Lingyin, who has serious dark circles, came to the side of the qin and handed over the report in his hand.
"Hmm......"
Looking at the record of the recent [Space Earthquake] report and the appearance record of the [Elf], Qinli's face slowly became solemn.
"The 'Diva' that is present on the stage of the Little Dome, the 'Hermit' who escaped at the intersection of Tiangong Square Station, and even the 'Nightmare'!?"
Frowning, Jean anxiously kicked someone with her heel.
Compared to the first two appearances, the latter manifestation is a representation of disaster.
The intelligence pointed out that this elf, who has been integrated into the human world and is considered to be the most vicious at present, also has the possibility of landing in Tiangong City?!
That's a real problem......
Gathering so many elves at once is not a good thing for this city.
"Lingyin, what do you think is the purpose of that Nightmare?"
In the 'seat' where someone's strange voice was mixed in from time to time, Jean asked the clerk what he thought.
"Hmm...... Judging from the current situation, with the other party's style, it should still be lurking now."
"Before the opportunity to achieve a certain 'purpose' comes."
It's just that the mere existence of her is enough to make people uneasy.
"Nightmare" - Kurumi Tokizaki is one such 'dangerous person'.
「…… Ahhh
As if venting his dissatisfaction, Qin Li subconsciously stepped on the 'cushion' below.
"Oh! Commander's 'reward'!"
The face remains in a state of excitement, and Kamino Moon is hesitant, what a terrifying creature.
"By the way, Lingyin, the golden elf that appeared at the end of the report, has the analysis result come out?"
He took out a treasure bead and put it in his mouth, and asked in the piano when he thought of something.
"Yes, judging from the results of the comparison of spiritual wavelengths, the other party is the same as 'Diva', and they are all elves who have been confirmed for the first time."
"It's just strange that there's no record of her presence anywhere in the world, as if it appeared out of nowhere."
Calmly talking about the report he received, Ling Yin's face showed a rare look of doubt.
"In accordance with the elf's apparent protection of the Hermit, the people at headquarters registered their identification as."
"—The Guardian."
The picture of Wan Yuri's spiritual costume was projected on the big screen, and Ling Yin said the qualitative identification name of the upper layer.
"...... 'Guardian', tsk, trouble after trouble."
"We can't go on and on."
Taking out the jewel in his mouth, Jean seemed to have made up his mind.
"It's a little earlier than planned, but it's about the same!"
"I'm a little sorry for that stupid guy, but there's no way around it."
"Who gave him this power?"
Jean laughed a little wickedly, then took a deep breath and announced.
"Let's get started!"
"Our [DATE]!"
