I don't want to be an elf!

But the new member's stomach remained flat, just as she had said, that she had only put some padding in her stomach.

This made Chtholly even begin to wonder if her stomach was entirely made up of stomach tissue.

"What are you doing here?" Nephren continued. "Didn't you eat enough for dinner?"

Chtholly nodded slightly, her expression ambiguous.

Although she also got hungry in the middle of the night and got up to find something to eat, she was different from Tohka Yatogami, who was a glutton.

Because Tohka Yatogami ate too much at dinner, Chtholly was too embarrassed to take it from the newcomer, so she went out for a late-night snack instead.

"Since you're here too, should I make you some snacks while I'm making them for Chtholly?" William asked.

“Of course!” Tohka Yatogami said expectantly, holding up her knife and fork.

“Although I’m not hungry, I’m very interested in the midnight snacks from five hundred years ago.” Nephren nodded.

"Don't set your expectations too high. Even if the recipe is from 500 years ago, a late-night snack is still a late-night snack."

With that, William took the apron from Nephren's hands and skillfully began his work as a cook.

Watching him cook, Tohka Yatogami seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, how do you know recipes from 500 years ago?"

“Didn’t I tell you I’m from five hundred years ago? At the welcome party,” William said without turning around while cooking. “You weren’t daydreaming again then, were you?”

"Cough cough..."

“Then I’ll say it again, it’s not exactly a secret anyway,” William said casually. “Five hundred years ago, I fought a powerful enemy to the brink of death, and my body was petrified by a curse. It wasn’t until a few years ago that a scavenging team dug me out and lifted the curse.”

"Oh! So that means you're over five hundred years old now?"

"How is that possible? I have no vital signs in a petrified state, so my inner self is as young as my outward appearance."

"Hmm, hmm." Tohka Yatogami nodded. "Then why are you working here?"

“Well… five hundred years have passed. Although everything I had in the past has disappeared, and I was in a slump for a long time because of it, one must always look forward, right?” William replied. “I work here because a friend of mine wanted me to start a new life and gave me this opportunity.”

"Did you enjoy your stay?"

"Although it's a bit desolate, I'm past the age of wandering around. I think this kind of life is pretty good, and I also like the people who live here."

As he spoke, William glanced at Chtholly, who was sitting next to Tohka Yatogami.

Their eyes met, and Chtholly awkwardly turned her head away, whistling.

However, Yatogami Tohka could still see that her ears were slightly red.

After a while, William prepared a simple late-night snack.

He placed three steaming bowls of late-night snack in front of the girls, gestured for them to enjoy their food, and took off his apron.

"In a way, we're actually quite similar. I lost my past life, and you lost your past memories."

William looked at Tohka Yatogami and smiled slightly.

"I hope you can find your new home here, just like I have."

Chapter Nine: A Sparring Match

The next day, morning.

Tohka Yatogami, who had eaten a lot of late-night snacks last night and went to bed satisfied, was now lying on her bed, fast asleep without any regard for her image.

Her long hair was scattered messily on the bed, the blanket had been kicked off the bed, and drool from the corner of her mouth was stuck to the pillow...

If the bed hadn't been big enough, she might have fallen off while she was sleeping.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window, but she showed no sign of waking up.

"Knock knock knock."

"Tohka, are you up yet?"

From outside the door came Nigolan's questioning voice.

Tohka Yatogami on the bed just wrinkled her nose, as if she hadn't heard anything, and continued to sleep.

After waiting a while and seeing no response, Nigolan had no choice but to say again, "If you don't get up now, you'll miss breakfast."

Like a demon awakened by a spell, Tohka Yatogami's eyes snapped open instantly.

This is an instinct etched into this body, one that even a young girl cannot suppress. The moment she hears anything related to food, her body is immediately awakened.

She sprang out of bed with a thud, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and felt helpless.

When playing the role of an elf girl, not only her mind but also her body are affected.

Just like in the previous world when she played Kurumi Tokisaki, she felt no urge to kill, in this world, when she played Tohka Yatogami, her resistance to food was almost zero.

While this certainly has its advantages in acting, the inability to fully control her own feelings still left her feeling somewhat helpless.

"Never mind, it's just eating a little more, it's not a big deal."

The girl stretched, a slight hunger pang rising in her stomach: "Being able to eat is a blessing, right? Anyway, there's no shortage of food, so let me enjoy as many delicious meals as possible in this world~"

Yatogami Tohka got out of bed, and with a thought, her pajamas transformed into ordinary clothing like those of the other Gold Fairies under the changing light.

This is another way to use the Divine Power Armor.

The Divine Armor can mimic any clothes that an elf girl has ever seen, but it has no defensive capabilities and is at best a disguise.

However, it is indeed convenient. Whether in the previous world or this world, she does not need to buy any clothes. She can change the Divine Power Armor into the corresponding style with just one glance.

After patting her cheeks and getting ready, Tohka Yatogami opened the bedroom door.

Good morning, Nigolan.

Good morning, Tohka. I hope I haven't bothered you.

"No, no, thank you for waking me up," Tohka Yatogami said, rubbing her stomach. "It would have been even worse if I had missed breakfast."

"Huh? You're hungry again so soon?" Nigolan asked, somewhat surprised. "Nefflian just told me that she made you several bowls of noodles for a midnight snack last night."

"Late-night snacks are late-night snacks, and breakfast is breakfast," Tohka Yatogami said righteously. "No matter how much you eat at the last meal, you still have to eat at the next one!"

"Haha, that's true. For girls like Tohka who are still developing, eating more isn't a bad thing," Nigolan said with a smile. "Looks like I'll have to cook more when I cook in the future. If it's not enough, just let me know. After all, my job is to feed you all."

"Yes! Thank you!" Yatogami Tohka's eyes lit up as she grasped her hand. "Nigolan, you really are a good person!"

"Oh dear, does that mean someone who feeds you is a good person? Tohka, you can't be that naive."

Nigolan chuckled and shook her head, then said, "Go wash up first, see you at the cafeteria later."

----------

----------

Ten minutes later, in the mansion's dining room.

After washing up, Tohka Yatogami couldn't wait to go to the cafeteria, carrying her plate full of food, and sat down in a chair by the window.

The food here is quite good. Since the Fairy Warehouse is jointly funded and managed by the military and the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce has not been stingy with the food.

Bacon, fried eggs, and buttered toast—these Western breakfasts are a staple around the world.

While girls generally prefer Eastern-style breakfasts, and could even tolerate Japanese-style breakfasts in the previous world, their role in this world as Yatogami Tohka has greatly increased their tolerance for food.

Therefore, she enjoyed even a Western-style breakfast that she wasn't used to.

Just as she was enjoying her breakfast, a little girl with short purple hair came over with a tray and sat down in front of her without asking.

"?"

Yatogami Tohka, who was eating, was taken aback. She looked at the girl in front of her, who had her fingers interlaced in front of her chin and was staring at her. She felt a little confused.

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Yatogami Tohka lifted her plate and placed it above her head, out of the girl's reach.

Even if you keep staring at me, I won't share my food with you.

"Eh?"

"If you want food, go find Nigolan. I won't give you any."

"...I don't want your food." The purple-haired girl said speechlessly, "Why would you think that?"

"Really? That's good."

Upon hearing this, Yatogami Tohka put her plate down again and continued to eat heartily.

The purple-haired girl then looked at another table and waved to the girls there: "Come on over, the new big sister doesn't seem as fierce as she looks."

Upon hearing this, the girls who couldn't help but glance in their direction exchanged a look and then gathered around.

Looking at the golden fairies who had surrounded her, Tohka Yatogami seemed a little nervous: "What do you want?"

"Sister, you are a golden fairy from another fairy warehouse, right?"

"Probably so."

"Could you tell us what life is like in the other fairy warehouses?" the purple-haired girl asked expectantly. "Sister, you are the first golden fairy we've seen in other fairy warehouses, and everyone is very curious."

“Hmm…” Yatogami Tohka scratched her head. “Sorry, I don’t have anything to share. After all, I can’t remember anything except my name.”

"why is it like this!"

Why can't I remember anything?

"Is my sister deliberately keeping this from us?"

The underage golden fairies started talking, chattering away incessantly.

Although they are golden fairies, at this age they will not experience the effects of past lives, so they do not know what personality disorder means, let alone what the consequences of personality disorder will be.

The managers and the adult Golden Fairies would not let them know this cruel fate too early, and would try their best to let them have a happy childhood.

"Kids, have you forgotten what I said yesterday about not asking questions that would embarrass Tohka?"

Sure enough, seeing the little ones surround Tohka Yatogami, Nigoran, who was serving food to the other children, put down her work and came over.

"I'm sorry, these kids are in a very energetic phase and are curious about everything."

After shooing away the children who were curious about the new member, Nigolan said apologetically.

"If they keep bothering you afterward, you can just spank them to teach them a lesson."

Although Nigolan appears gentle, she is actually quite cunning.
