I don't want to be an elf!

Looking at the rows of text displayed on the system, she became excited.

It was worth all the effort she put in; the final evaluation of her performance was indeed quite high!

Although it's a bit of a shame that she didn't reach the highest S-rank, it was only her first time playing the role, and there were many immature performances and incomplete details. At the same time, her use of Angel Zafkiel was not perfect, far inferior to the real Tokisaki Kurumi. Reaching A-rank was already a pleasant surprise.

Fortunately, the ability she gained was not useless; rather, it was one of the most practical abilities of the Zafkiel Empire: the Sixth Bullet.

She hadn't forgotten the agreement she made with the system before she transmigrated.

By playing the role of a spirit well, you can obtain a corresponding spirit ability after completing the main quest.

And after completing all the role-playing and returning to her original world, she was able to use these abilities.

Ultimately, that's why she willingly agreed to play the role.

The Sixth Bullet is one of the most useful abilities compared to Tokisaki Kurumi's other abilities, and it is also the ability that Tokisaki Kurumi used the most in the original work.

The sixth bullet's ability is to transfer one's consciousness to one's past self.

It looks similar to the Twelfth Bullet, both going back in time, but the principles are completely different.

Because the Sixth Bullet can only transfer consciousness into a past body, while the Twelfth Bullet can allow the physical body to travel to the past.

Meanwhile, the sixth bullet can only return to the body a few days ago, while the twelfth bullet can return to several years or even decades ago.

Despite its many limitations, it's still a pretty good ability.

Although her most coveted ability is the City of Time, which grants immortality, such an ability is obviously only obtainable with an S-rank performance rating.

Taking everything into consideration, receiving an A-level performance rating and obtaining the Sixth Bullet that allowed my consciousness to travel back in time is already quite good.

"Hiss, wait a minute."

As if suddenly remembering something, Kurumi Tokisaki's expression became puzzled: "Using the Sixth Bullet consumes time, but I don't have the City of Time to help me absorb other people's time, so wouldn't using Zafkiel's power mean I have to keep using my own lifespan?"

Thinking about this, her expression became conflicted.

Apart from bullets eleven and twelve, all other ability bullets require time to process, and the higher the number, the more time it takes.

The sixth bullet, although ranked in the middle, still takes a considerable amount of time that an ordinary human cannot afford to take.

"System, after I return, how many times can I use the Sixth Bullet given my lifespan?"

【once】

"..."

The girl rubbed her forehead, barely suppressing the urge to swear.

It can only be used once, so its cost-effectiveness is even worse than Shadow Space.

At least using the shadow space doesn't take time, it can be used anytime, and it can also be used as storage space.

"Oh well, at least I can use it once. If I had drawn the Ninth Bullet or the Tenth Bullet, I might not have been able to use it even once."

Letting out a long sigh to calm herself down and temporarily putting the bad news behind her, the girl turned her attention to the rewards she would receive for completing the side quest.

The rewards from side quests are all item cards, which cannot be brought back to the original world and can only be used when playing as an elf.

The reward for perfectly completing the side quest is an item card called the Spirit Rebirth Ticket.

According to the system's description, its effect is to descend to other worlds. However, if the host draws an unsuitable spirit, they can use this card to choose any spirit they have previously played as and play it a second time.

This is definitely a very useful item card. If one day she were to travel to a high-magic world, but the elf she needed to play was very weak, she could use this card to choose a powerful elf she had played before.

As expected of the reward for a perfectly completed mission, the quality is top-notch.

The reward for not perfectly completing the second side quest is called a Tokisaki Kurumi trial ticket.

Its ability is to allow the host to transform into Tokisaki Kurumi again when playing other spirits, but only for ten minutes.

In certain emergency situations, this is a very good life-saving trump card.

After all, Kurumi Tokisaki's combat and escape abilities are both top-notch.

Unfortunately, Lovecraft's combat power was too abnormal, and we couldn't defeat him at all, so we couldn't perfectly complete the second side quest.

If we can perfectly complete the second side quest, the experience time should be longer.

The reward for completing side quest three is called Nightmare Spirit Crystal Summoning Ticket.

The effect is simple and easy to understand: it summons the spirit crystal of Tokisaki Kurumi.

As for its use...

Perhaps it can be given to someone you trust, allowing them to obtain Tokisaki Kurumi's power, or perhaps it can be used by yourself, fusing the spirit crystal of the spirit you will be playing with the spirit crystal of Tokisaki Kurumi.

In the original work, Kurumi Tokisaki fused with Nia Honjou's spirit crystal and gained the ability to use the Whispering Tome.

This is a very practical reward.

The reward for completing random tasks is an item card called a Derivative Spirit Summoning Ticket.

Its effect is to summon a sub-elf as a companion to adventure with the host in the world.

Although the sub-elves are not very strong, having a partner is always better than fighting alone.

Compared to the rewards from side quests, the rewards from random quests are significantly less substantial, barely better than nothing.

[The second time travel is about to begin. Please prepare yourself, host.]

After the girl figured out the effects of the obtained item cards and rested for a while, a system notification appeared before her eyes.

Although she had just finished playing a role, she didn't care. There was nothing in the settlement space, so she could leave whenever she wanted.

"Then, let's begin the second act."

The girl looked at the door that appeared before her with some anticipation and went inside.

"Next, a completely new story begins."

★ The Princess and Three Questions about the End of the World ★

Chapter One: Are you here to kill me?

The airspace above the fourteenth floating island.

The warships of the 2nd Wing Army patrolled around the floating island as usual, protecting the security of the nearby airspace.

On the warship, soldiers of various races performed their assigned tasks at their posts, ensuring that this massive steel behemoth could fly safely.

The soldiers came in all shapes and sizes: some were short goblins, some were winged harpies, and some were upright-walking dog-men...

However, everyone seemed to have gotten used to each other's presence, and even when they saw a race with a completely different life form from their own, they showed no surprise.

They don't even mind working together, chatting and laughing as they work.

However, there wasn't a single human among them.

This is also a matter of course.

Because in this world, humanity has long since become extinct.

Even though it disappeared, it still left behind a legacy that keeps the world in turmoil—the Seventeen Beasts.

These monsters, each with their own unique abilities, possess power unmatched by any other race. After the disappearance of humans, the original overlords of the land, they took over the surface and became the rulers of the new world.

To avoid annihilation, other races, with the help of the great sage Swann Kandel, raised their land into the air, creating a miraculous floating continental system to escape the scourge of the beasts.

Even so, they were not completely free from the influence of the Seventeenth Beast.

Among these seventeen monsters with different abilities, the sixth beast has the ability to fly.

Therefore, the surviving races could not escape their fate of battle and built flying behemoths and various weapons to fight against the Sixth Beast.

The Winged Army was created to fight against the Sixth Beast.

In the command room of the 2nd Wing Army's flagship, a rabbit-man adjusting a magic compass looked at the suddenly fluctuating pattern on the screen and became tense.

This is a compass created by the great sage of the floating continents, combining extraordinary wisdom and outstanding magic. It is a magical tool capable of detecting all creatures with large magical fluctuations within a radius of one hundred kilometers.

Its purpose is to detect the Sixth Beast's intention to approach the floating island during patrols, thus giving it time to choose between a defensive or offensive strategy.

Since it is now fluctuating, it can only mean one thing.

"Commander Gray Rockskin!" the rabbit-man soldier immediately reported, "An extremely large magical fluctuation has been detected three kilometers to the southeast. The source of the magical power cannot be determined at present."

In the commander's seat, the lizardman, clad in bluish-gray scales, looked southeast through the glass of the command room, his slender eyes slightly narrowed.

With his innate, powerful vision, he saw an unusual distortion in space not far away.

It's like fragile paper being roughly crumpled into a ball.

Faced with this unusual situation, Gray Rock Skin's first reaction was to order a retreat.

However, the thought that the fourteenth floating island was not far away made his soldierly spirit of protecting his homeland change his mind immediately. He ordered, "All warships, adopt a fan-shaped strategy, surround that area, and issue warnings to the surrounding floating islands!"

"Yes!"

The communications officer on the main ship immediately contacted the other warships and quickly relayed the commander's orders.

The surrounding warships immediately formed a fan shape around the main ship, encircling the distorted space and gradually approaching as the main ship moved.

When they were close to the limit, about one kilometer away, Gray Rock Skin ordered again: "All soldiers, prepare for battle!"

This was the first time he had faced such an unusual situation, and he would never have taken such a big risk if it weren't for the important residents of the fourteenth floating island.

He could only deal with this situation using the same strategy he had used to deal with the Sixth Beast.

Each warship is equipped with missiles from the military factory, which is one of the few ways that these magic-free races can effectively damage the Sixth Beast.

But missiles can only temporarily slow their advance; they cannot truly kill them.

Ultimately, they were never the main force fighting the Sixth Beast.

The main force that should have been fighting the Sixth Beast was not on the warship at this moment.

Because no one expected to detect a sudden magical fluctuation in such a place, and even less would anyone have imagined that the source of the magical fluctuation would be directly around the floating island.
