Local Netizen Elf’s Life In Another World

Case 319: Duty calls.

''Argh... why must it be now?!''

''There's no time to waste! Get ready quickly!''

''Did they say to gather at the south tower?! Wait, somebody! Help Sylvia out!''

''I'm fine!''

Swallowing the last gulp of semen, I quickly zip up my skirt, tuck into a sweater, put on a pair of high thighs, and throw on my coat before running up to the wine drawers to see my reflection in the glasses.

After checking that everything looks and smells normal, I turn around and begin to help the others tidy up their messy appearances. Most can take care of themselves... if I didn't let out such a heavy dose of aphrodisiac during the 'group fight' earlier.

It was my fault, yes; it was also totally unpredictable. Who would have thought that there would be a large-scale disaster striking right when we were having such exciting sex...?!

Well, I mean, it was a good runtime of two consecutive hours, but nowhere enough for my insatiable self right now. Nonetheless, when duty calls, we, as the party fighting for the world's peace, have to respond to HQ.

For one, we are effectively under my dad's command regarding broader strategies, but I am the leader in other scenarios. Eva doesn't belong to anyone or anything—rather, she is above everything, so she has already gone out to examine things on her own.

The brief communication that hit us earlier said that anomalies have appeared across the continent, not just here at the border or beyond the border. I don't know what these 'anomalies' are at the moment, but if they pose a convincing threat, this might just be Eve's biggest move yet.

Feeling a bit nervous, I activate my magic and teleport everyone to the designated location.

''Holy...''

Right upon our arrival, an impressive yet concerning sight is perceived. 

From inside the briefing room, which is quite tall compared to the surrounding structures, we can have a comprehensive look at a good portion of the border.

And... it's already filled with soldiers lining up or preparing weapons.

It's a scene straight out of a movie. I'd imagine the other places are similar to this one, too.

''You're here, Sylvia. You guys, too.''

''Dad.''

''Sit down. I'll brief you through this, okay?''

There's a lot going on, but to summarize—our plans are all gone.

Halfway through the briefing, Eva returns to confirm the recent phenomena. They are indeed the corrupt goddess's doings. Now, that much is obvious and predictable, but the problem is those phenomena themselves.

Simply put, unknown fissures of space have appeared in the sky across the world, from which a not-so-pure type of energy is oozing out. Worse, we don't even know what will happen with them.

If I had to guess, I'd say they would corrode the surroundings in some ways or summon some types of monsters to wreak havoc upon this corporeal realm. For now, preventive measures are needed to avoid casualties.

Of course, we'll help to the best of our abilities, but the evacuation and quarantine of the fissures can't be done by just us. Thankfully, we can now mobilize most country's forces without much delay. The effort to push for an alliance really pays off now, huh?

Nonetheless, our job now is to examine some of the fissures so that we can hopefully develop a 'cure' for them, which means eliminating those things.

''But to think that she covers the whole continent... just how crazy is that woman?'' I let out a sigh. ''Do you have any insight, Eva?''

After pondering at my words for a bit, the goddess eventually replies, ''I am not sure. It is not as though she is ever the same person I know.''

''I guess that's true. Though... this might as well be some sort of trap. Some of them might turn out to be total decoys.''

Ah... this is tough. The opponent has nothing to lose, while we have too much to protect. I wish we could just call Eve here and have her battle me out in bed, but alas.

''Oh, well.''

Since we have nothing else to discuss, the nearest fissure is our immediate destination.

This one spawns within the border we're currently at, so a short two-minute flight is enough to take us there. How should I say this... it looks just as I expected. The primary color is purple—bright, neon purple—and the patterns emerging are identical to cracked glass.

More than that, however, I can definitely tell that the energy radiating from beyond the crack is the same one in Hanako's calamity. In other words—malicious energy.

''Hah... why do they have to be born with malice, I wonder.''

Fundamentally, there is no 'right' or 'wrong' when it comes to survival. Instinct is a powerful force, and I understand where those with violence weaved into their psyches come from. They were just born that way.

That doesn't mean I'm sympathetic, still.

For now, let's take care of this first.

''Let me try hitting it.''

''Wait, Liana. It might be corrosive. We don't know how it will... ah, no. I forgot we have Eva here.''

Letting out a sigh, Eva walks toward Liana. ''It is not corrosive on the outside, but I cannot guarantee the inside. Be careful.''

''Oh, okay... have you tried to destroy it? Was it successful?'' The flat-chested elf asks, receiving an imbue from Eva in the meanwhile.

''Yes, but I merely evaporated it whole with my power.''

''Ah, so it's like that.''

After nodding to herself a bit, Liana pulls out her scythe and starts to crack her joints. She looks excited, almost as if enjoying the occasion. And now that I have a chance to witness her full power after a while, I can tell she got much, much stronger.

''Here we... go!''

Despite that, Liana's scythe, which is juiced with divine power to its maximum capacity, barely does anything to the crack. The sounds of that weapon being bounced away are like those when we hit a rock with a wooden stick.

''Huh.... this one's real cheeky.''

Muttering to herself something, Liana's face soon begins to get serious.

In an instant, a powerful aura bursts out of her body, and with an amount of divine energy so thick and abundant it oozes out of the scythe's steel, she throws her arm toward the fissure, sounding a loud screech.

Follow that—a blast.

''Damn...''

You know, I sometimes do get worried that I will be surpassed by this idiot or someone else in my party because I focus on sex too much while they go out and actually fight.

...It's fine, I suppose.

In any case, the crack has been... shattered. That is the closest word I can come up with. Pieces of the fissure fall to the ground, turning into millions of stardust and are scattered into the wind...

Until they don't.

''Eh?''

For whatever reason, the dust gathers in one place, soon forming a strange-looking creature towering over us. It has a ghastly dark green color for its body, four big flowers hanging in four directions, and countless ten—

—t-tentacles...?
