The space earthquake alarm ended, and people left the shelter again. Not long after, the streets returned to normal. Although the previous fight between the girls had caused damage to the streets, for Fang Zheng, compared to everything at the moment, the problem of Yoshino beside him was obviously more serious.
"Yoshino, would you like something to drink?"
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Shiono shook her head, lowered her head and stared at the ground without saying a word. Looking at the little guy's depressed look, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.
Fang Zheng learned several pieces of information from the conversation with Chonggong Mana. First, this world is divided into the present world and the neighboring world. The present world is the world where ordinary people live, and the neighboring world is the empty city where Fang Zheng arrived when he traveled through time. According to Mana, the elves are the residents of the neighboring world, but even they don't know what the neighboring world looks like.
In short, the background of this world is that one day, a huge disaster called "spacequake" occurred in the world. After that, people observed the existence of elves and found that when elves appeared, spacequakes would occur. However, this information was concealed by the top leaders. For most ordinary people, spacequakes are just some kind of "natural disaster" like earthquakes or hurricanes.
In order to deal with the disaster, each country has set up a special anti-elves force called AST. They are all "magicians" who use a kind of armor called "CR manifestation device" to fight against elves. After all, the power of elves is simply not something that ordinary people can resist. As for why they are all girls... Fang Zheng doesn't understand. It's probably some kind of uncle setting that only adolescent girls can control.
From a certain perspective, the elves in this world seemed to be similar to the cursed children that Fang Zheng encountered in the dark world. But Fang Zheng was not as angry as he was in the dark world. After all, although both of them possessed certain dangers, their essences were actually very different.
In the dark world, humans actually have ways to control the cursed children. However, they let the cursed children run wild for various reasons. It can be said that they can do it but don't do it. This is the key to Fang Zheng's anger. But in this world, facing the problem of elves, even if it is Fang Zheng himself, he can't think of a better way. Because according to Yoshino's description, whether the elves appear in the world is a very "random" process, that is, she can't control it herself.
This is a problem for humans. If the elves can control the occurrence of spacequakes, maybe the two sides can communicate and then negotiate. But if the spacequakes themselves cannot be controlled, then even if the two sides communicate, there will be no results.
Not only that, the biggest difference between the two sides is the space earthquake thirty years ago.
In the dark world, although the cursed children can transform into gastrula, there has not been a large-scale incident of the cursed children transforming into gastrula to massacre humans. The reason why they are hostile is simply because humans project their fear and anger towards gastrula onto them.
But the elves are different. According to Mana, the first space earthquake thirty years ago caused the death of 150 million people, which is almost the largest number of casualties encountered by humans except for nuclear war. Because of this, when humans discovered the relationship between the elves' appearance and the space earthquake, they would naturally feel fear and hostility towards the elves. In fact, many people around Mana believed that the elves might be some kind of gods or demons that would bring disasters, and because of this, they called them elves.
This was obviously a huge blow to Yoshino. She originally thought that she had done nothing bad, but after hearing what Mana said, Yoshino had to face reality. Obviously, she also knew that every time she appeared in the world, she would cause damage to the surroundings. However, Yoshino did not think much about it because she had lost her memory. And now, after learning from Mana the real reason why she was attacked, Yoshino also seemed very disappointed.
Although he had not been with Yoshino for a long time, Fang Zheng had already discovered that she was a very simple and kind-hearted child. She did not want to be hurt, nor did she want to hurt others.
But now... the problem is obviously not so easy to solve.
"Okay, don't be so depressed."
Looking at the dejected Shion beside him, Fang Zheng patted her little head and comforted her.
"Although this reason does surprise us, at least we know the reason, right? Besides, there is still a way to solve this problem..."
"Do you have any solution, Mr. Fang Zheng?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Shion looked up in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng expectantly. Facing Shion's question, Fang Zheng also pondered for a moment.
"Well... I don't have any good solution for now, but..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng began to recall the feeling of teleportation. He could feel that the expansion of space at that time seemed to have some kind of pattern, but because Fang Zheng's whole mind was on Yoshino at that time, he did not spend too much energy to observe these things. If he could use magic, then maybe he could get more clues.
But even if he can't use magic, Fang Zheng is still a wizard!
"Yoshino, do you cause this kind of destruction every time you manifest? Think carefully, is it always the case?"
"this……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Shiono frowned, then thought carefully for a moment and spoke with some uncertainty.
"This... it seems that it happens not every time. There were a few times when I suddenly crossed over, but I didn't cause any damage!"
"real?"
Hearing this answer, Fang Zheng perked up.
"That's easy!"
"Eh? R-really?"
"That's right."
In response to Yoshino's question, Fang Zheng nodded.
"If every time we manifest, a space quake occurs, then this means that this is most likely a fixed phenomenon. But if we can manifest without causing a space quake, then this means that the space quake phenomenon can be controlled or even eliminated through certain methods and means! As long as we can observe and find this pattern, then we can definitely solve this problem!"
"Very good……!"
Hearing this, Yoshino smiled with relief, then raised her head and looked at Fang Zheng.
"Thank you... Mr. Fang Zheng, I have never thought of such a thing..."
"It's not your responsibility either."
Looking at the shy, somewhat excited and uneasy Shion, Fang Zheng also patted her head. This little girl was shy, introverted and not good at speaking, so it was obviously impossible to expect her to think about these issues.
But now...
"Now that we have come to this world, let's take a good look around!"
Soon, Fang Zheng made a decision.
What to do with a beautiful and lovely girl?
A date, of course!
