"So, what exactly does Miss Manyuri want to do with me?"

Shaking her asymmetrical double ponytails, the girl in a red and black dress curled her arms, as if she was thinking about something.

"Before that, Kurumi Tokizaki, there's something I want to confirm first."

"What you call making me a [real elf] isn't it just to find the [initial elf' for you to solve it?"

「——！ Oops......"

Slightly stunned, Kurumi frowned at first, and then sighed again.

As a special form of management personality, Manyuri seems to play a very important role.

[Angel System].

Although I don't know what my relationship with this system is and how it works, if I continue to maintain my consciousness, it is likely to affect some people's plans.

So 'they' won't let everything go.

In short, Wan Yuri's purpose in guessing Kurumi is nothing more than using her as bait.

It doesn't matter if it's the "Phantom" or the "Initial Elf" on the hook, it's all on the 'list' of the Time Elves anyway.

It's just that at this time, Kurumi didn't know that "Phantom" and "Initial Elf" were the same person.

As for whether Wan Yuli can become a real elf after taking the bait, it may not be in the scope of Mad San's consideration, right?

"Oops, oops...... It's amazing how you can grow this in just one week."

Stroking his lips, Kurumi smiled happily for her.

"But I don't agree with that."

"What I did wasn't as complicated as you think, but it was just a 'revelation.'"

「……」

tilted her head without changing her face, Wan Yuli didn't know that she was very cute like this, and of course no one appreciated it.

"'Five Bullets.'"

"I don't know where you learned about my abilities, but you should have some understanding of them."

As if to be tempting, Kurumi uttered a noun.

("Five Bullets"...... Is it possible to predict the future to a certain extent...... ）

But what did she see......

With a knowing expression on his face, after confirming that Manyuri did indeed know the abilities of the Five Bullets, Kurumi suppressed what he wanted to say and continued to explain.

"When I saw you for the first time, I did have the idea of wanting to 'eat' you, after all, it is such a huge spiritual power, and it is difficult for people to restrain it."

"That's when I used the 'Five Bullets' on your target, and I got very unexpected feedback."

And the next words that came out surprised Wan Yuli.

"I 'see' a fragment of the footage of your battle with Phantom."

"The future is always changing, so the 'Five Bullets' can only give me a general idea of the future under normal circumstances, and even the opposite is possible, but only this time, it is a clear fragment! Do you know what that means?"

With a hint of excitement on his face, Kurumi stared deeply at Wan Yuri.

"This means that no matter which 'future' the 'now' leads to, your battle with the Phantom is already a 'given.'"

This is the reason why Kurumi contacted Manyuri and 'showed goodwill' to her!

"So for the sake of this future, it's not impossible for me to provide you with a supplement of spiritual power."

Exaggeratedly squeezing her shoulders, Kurumi said her original plan.

It's a little too 'careful' in Wan Yuli, although it's not wrong.

I see, with the spiritual power that Kurumi has accumulated so far, it is not impossible to help Manyuri 'refine' the "Spirit Crystal" and evolve into a real elf, even if it is just to maintain the existence of Manyuri, it is absolutely enough.

Kurumi's purpose is to go back to 30 years ago and erase the "Primordial Elf" in order to achieve his wish to erase the "fact of the existence of the Elf".

Finally, clues related to her wishes appeared in front of her, and she naturally would not let go.

"But now, you seem to have your own plans."

Sighing regretfully, Kurumi, who had failed to act, looked a little disappointed.

After all, it's better to send charcoal in the snow than to put the icing on the cake.

"Okay, with all that said, now it's my turn to ask questions, right?"

With a flash of eagerness and anticipation in her eyes, Kurumi asked Wanyuri, who was standing quietly in place, the question she wanted to know most.

"Excuse me, then, do you know the true identity of the Primordial Elf!?"

「……」

After a brief silence, Wan Yuri shook his head.

"I just knew she existed, not her identity."

It's not that she's lying to the third man, but it's really unclear, and she can only understand many things from the 'God's perspective'.

Before she was reborn, she was just an 'anime party' rather than an 'original party', and some of the information that seemed like spoilers was also something she browsed on the Internet.

And now that the world in words has become reality, can the information she knows really match one by one?

It's like the evolution of her spiritual costume and the regained Angel.

So Wan Yuli has reservations about this.

"Yes......

The blonde elf's answer made the disappointment on Kurumi's face clear.

Although I know that this is my extravagant hope, I will still be unwilling to learn it again.

"In that case, let's get down to business, can you please tell me about the 'deal'?"

The two are almost open and honest, but only in this way can they reach the basis for cooperation, right? This also shows that Kurumi has agreed with Wan Yuri's qualifications.

Recovering quickly from the disappointment just now, Kurumi smiled easily.

「…… I want you to use the Twelve Bullets to send me back a few months ago."

"That time before the encounter between the Five Rivers Shido and the Night Sword God Toka."

「——！」

Gently opening his lips, Wan Yuli finally said his purpose.

"In exchange, I'll help you find the Initial Elf...... and the true identity of Phantom."

Then, there are the conditions of the transaction, and it is also a choice that is difficult for Kurumi to refuse.

「……」

"Oh, hea, hea, hea, aa! It's really, it's really!"

Hearing Wan Yuri's request, Kurumi gradually burst out laughing exaggeratedly.

Whether it was a request or a condition of the transaction, it simply made her want to stop being interested.

Looking at Manyuri again, Kurumi didn't find any hesitation or confusion in her eyes.

「…… You've amazed me with surprises and surprises."

I don't know what kind of habit it is, so I switched the phrase to an honorific and put my index finger to my mouth.

"I can probably guess your purpose...... I can do that, but you must know that using the Twelve Bullets not only requires a huge amount of spiritual power, but I have never used it before."

"The demand for spiritual power will change depending on how far back the time is from now, and the older the time, the greater the consumption."

"Since I've never tried it, there's a good chance I won't be able to specify the exact time."

"Is that okay?"

Without hesitation, Wan Yuli nodded decisively.

"Ahh In that case......

Kurumi lifted the hem of her skirt, and a huge clock appeared in her footsteps, it was the [angel] she was manipulating.

"Zaphkiel!"

Two guns of different lengths appeared in his hand.

"Now that you've got that kind of awareness, I just want to test it."

"As a friendly sponsorship of our partners, I will provide you with the spiritual power you return."

But back a few months ago, this 'investment' she still consumed.

It's better to say that if she doesn't take the initiative to provide spiritual power, she will be the biggest beneficiary.

"So, are you ready?"

Aiming the muzzle of the gun at Manyuri, Kurumi who unfolded "Castle of Food" showed a sweet smile.

It's like a fatal temptation.
