The Elswords decided to have their dates together in an ice skating place in Velder Village. Knight Emperor with Aether Sage, Rune Master with Apsara, and Immortal with Code: Ultimate. It was as easy as breathing for Aether Sage, since ice was one of her mastered elements. She was teaching her boyfriend on how to keep his balance.

As for Rune Master and Apsara, they were quick learners. Both of them were already skating around the place, even trying to do unique poses for photos. Too bad, none of them got good photos and it was just a joke at this point.

Sadly for the last couple, none of them could do anything and just stayed on the side. "I guess we're built to fight, not to have fun like this," Code: Ultimate sighed in embarrassment, her face turned slightly red. How come she, the Queen of Nasods, couldn't do a thing as simple as ice skating? Maybe it was more complicated than she expected?

Immortal laughed while he fell multiple times already. Eventually he got his balance and was finally able to move properly. "I got it, I got it! See? Just keep trying!" Immortal smiled and approached Code: Ultimate slowly.

"It doesn't make sense to me," Code: Ultimate replied and tried to move again.

She lost her balance, but Immortal caught her… and failed.

Bump!

Immortal laughed at it, making Code: Ultimate laugh as well. They may not be able to skate, but the fun was still there. It was funny how enjoyable it was while they did almost nothing.


Metamorphy and Nisha were just talking while walking in the park. Their money was useless, so they couldn't even afford anything. "The park here is so nice! Even though there's so many police lines," Metamorphy commented and breathed the fresh air. Sander was a desert, so she couldn't enjoy this kind of fresh air.

"I agree, Aisha. Laby would love it here, if only those police lines aren't in the way," Nisha smiled and spun around. It's been a while since they hung out in a relaxing place.

"Hey! Metamorphy! Nisha!"

They turned around and met Lord Azoth with Adrestia. They were holding hands as they walked. "Are you guys bored too?" Metamorphy asked and waved her hands at them.

"Kind of. I'm not sure where's a good dating spot here, but this place is fine too," Adrestia smiled and looked around. "I barely see green leaves in my world. Too f-cked up, I guess?"

"Dating spot?" Metamorphy and Nisha repeated the words.

"Ah, yeah… We're dating," Lord Azoth smiled and held Adrestia's hand tighter. "Is it weird? Anyway, let's move!" she shouted and kept walking forward.

Nisha wanted to hold hands too like them. Would Metamorphy even hold her hand? She tried to grab it, but Metamorphy grabbed it casually. It was probably a sign of friends from Metamorphy, but Nisha was fine with this too.


"First, he doesn't upgrade his Nasod arm. Second, he doesn't have a girlfriend. What is he doing with his life?"

The Ravens were chilling at a cat cafe. They thought the cats would fear the Nasod arm, but they're clingy to the customers. They got a round table, so the couples could be next to each other. Rage Hearts with Daybreaker, Nova Imperator with Tempest Burster, and Revenant with Black Massacre.

While both Revenant and Black Massacre had killing aura, the cats were still attached to them. They couldn't help but pat and give them affection. "Maybe we should get a cat. They're not that bad," Revenant suggested.

Black Massacre chuckled at his idea. "You think so? There are no cats in the demon realm."

"Cats, huh… There are stray cats behind the guild. Maybe we should feed them once in a while, Rage Hearts. What do you think?" Daybreaker asked with a smile.

Rage Hearts looked at Daybreaker, still smiling at him. How can he refuse that smile now? His face flushed a bit and nodded his head.

"Pets are always nice. You should get one," Nova Imperator agreed with Daybreaker. The cat in front of him meowed and it made him happy.

"Police dog counts?" Tempest Burster asked with a confused look. They did feel like pets, but sometimes it's more of a working partner.


Some couples were simply having picnics in a park at Feita. The place was beautiful and lively, unlike the usual haunted Feita the others knew in their world. They bought some food because all Ciels refused to cook for more.

Comet Crusader with Prime Operator were more like siblings, but with how they acted toward each other, people often mistaken them as doing incest stuff. Even so, they didn't care much, as long as they're together.

Centurion with Code: Sariel was like one sided conversation. While Code: Sariel couldn't show any emotion, she felt an unknown warm input in her system. It was detected as a harmless object, but she knew that it was something around love.

Shakti and Richter were having a weird conversation as usual. It may sound stupid, even meaningless. But for them, it was their everyday conversation that they loved.

Empire Sword and Abysser weren't even a thing, but there they were, enjoying the picnic like they were dating. They were a bit awkward with each other, but eventually enjoyed themselves.

Lastly, that looked really concerning–also the one that bought all the food for them–was Iblis and Opferung. Iblis was in her adult form, spoiling Opferung with darkness. And surprisingly, Opferung loved her. It never crossed their thought on how a demon and an angel could be with each other, and even love each other.

"I have tainted it with darkness, just for you," Iblis smiled and held Opferung's cheek. There was a dark blue bread on her right hand, the one that she meant by "it".

"Why, thank you. Let me taste it," Opferung smiled and grabbed the bread.

From a few meters away, Empire Sword forced herself to laugh. "Nope, nope, I heard and saw nothing," she muttered.


The Adds were playing bowlings with their couple–except Overmind, who was still single and brought his best friend instead. They took turns in playing to see which couple was the best.

Doom Bringer and Flame Lord were too energetic, they almost broke the place. So instead of trying to win, they're trying to not break anything.

Dominator and Devi were trying their best while failing. It was actually harder than it looked, but they eventually got the hang of it.

Mad Paradox and Minerva were having a lot of issues. Because of Mad Paradox's child body, he didn't have the strength to pick up the lightest bowling ball and ended up failing everything. Minerva was basically soloing, but she enjoyed her moment teasing Mad Paradox.

Overmind and Twins Picaro were… trolling. They didn't care how many points they got, as long as they had their fun. They have too many zeroes because of how much they pranked each other.

"This… This Add is too happy, it's scaring me a bit," Flame Lord commented with a forced smile.

"It's concerning. He's probably the one with the most broken brain," Dominator agreed. Even so, he still took the research he just got this morning seriously.


"Damn, you really like your food. I'm full already."

A group went to have a buffet. Nyx Pieta ate everything that was set on the table. Twilight was already full, so she just helped him to eat more by grilling more food.

Celestia smiled and looked at his other self. "You interest me more every day~! How are you not fat? That's awesome."

"I miss my food. I love it!" Prophetess was still eating and crying a bit. She's finally back to her world, after all.

"You'll get fat," Ishtar commented, but Prophetess didn't care for now. She looked at Anular, who was still eating and probably trying to replicate the dish.

Herrscher sighed and finished his food. "It's good, but does it matter? It's not making us full longer than usual."

"Laby… must… win…" Eternity Winner finally stopped eating and rested her head on the table. She wanted to be the one who ate the most, but she couldn't compete with Nyx Pieta. Even if she named herself that, she had to admit defeat on this one.

Surya chuckled and patted her head. "It's alright! We can try again next time."

There was a couple enjoying themselves. Chevalier kept wondering what spice they were using. "They indeed taste good. I should add this to my menu."

"Hm, can you make it, though?" Anemos teased and hit his arm with her elbow.


A historical museum had a free entry, so some people with no money went there instead. They didn't understand most of the artifacts, but it gave them some ideas. "Woah, sharpened bamboo! Must be very old!" Radiant Soul shouted at the ancient weapon tool.

"It must be. Why even use bamboo when people just cast magic here and there?" Bluhen asked in curiosity and stared at the weapon.

"It's magical bamboo then!" Morpheus concluded without any evidence.

"We had the same thing in the demon realm. They're oddly effective in any situation," Nihilida commented and put her hand on the glass. "Maybe… If I can use this…"

Tyrannus smiled and patted Nihilida's head. "There's nothing to worry about. I'll be your weapon."


The day was ending, the sun was setting, but the arcade was filled with El Gangs. It confused the staff, but as long as they got money, they wouldn't ask anything. After the date, most of them played with the others, even their own other selves.

"Don't worry, Radiant Soul. I'll get it for you," Nisha said with a determined face. There was a unicorn doll in the claw machine. Eternity Winner would take over if Nisha failed again.

And she completely missed it.

Nisha sighed heavily while Radiant Soul screamed and Eternity Winner laughed at her. It looked easy, so why did she fail a lot? "Here, leave it to Eternity Winner," Eternity Winner smiled and inserted the last coin they had. She moved the claw to the unicorn doll and… easily grabbed it like it was nothing new. "Don't cry now," she said and gave it to Radiant Soul.

Radiant Soul's eyes widened as she smiled widely. "Thank you! Radiant Soul is very happy!"

A few steps from the claw machine was a dance arcade. It was surrounded by a lot of people watching two players dancing on the pad. Surya and Black Massacre were hitting every arrow easily. "Wow, nice! You didn't look like you're into this!" Surya smiled at their perfect score on screen.

Black Massacre chuckled at it. "It's a hobby, nothing special. Let's get off, the others want to play."

Meanwhile the racing game was a bit chaotic. Centurion kept hitting the other players for fun. "That's cheating!" Daybreaker pouted and stepped on the gas.

"I'm just making the game more fun, nothing wrong with that!" Centurion replied with a laugh. To him, games were only fun if someone was cheating.

"This game needs a melee mode!"

Code: Ultimate yelled at the shooting game. She got the logic to shoot, but she kept missing. If she got more time to practice, maybe she could actually be a gunner.

"You're doing great! Keep going," Ishtar smiled, but she was too slow to cover herself and lost her health. "Ah! Why is it so hard?!"

"How can we fight better than games anyway? I guess it's easier when our lives are on the line," Adrestia commented with a confused look. She tried the shooting game before, but she was bad at it.

Clank!

Air hockey was abused more than intended. Herrscher had been summoning his own disks and sending them all to his opponent. It counted as a score by the system, as long as something passed by the censor. "Oh my, you didn't hold back!" Bluhen clapped his hands at his loss. The final result was 291 - 0, a win for Herrscher.

"It doesn't matter," Herrscher said and put the paddle on the table.

The seat was also taken by El Gangs. Nyx Pieta preferred to eat his snacks while watching people play. Tempest Burster sat next to him because he seemed lonely while he was just enjoying his snacks. "We make it look like we own this place. It's so crowded with everyone. Play something, Nyx Pieta!"

"I'm fine! I love my snacks!" Nyx Pieta smiled and opened another bag of chips. "Although… crowds can be bad…"

"Hm? How so?" Tempest Burster asked and looked at the kid.

"I haven't seen Fatal Phantom," Nyx Pieta said with a concerned look.

Revenant approached them and told them to play something, but Nyx Pieta uttered the question instead. He looked around with a confused look, but he couldn't find him either… and another person. "I haven't seen Bloody Queen either."


During the day, in the detective agency's hall, Code: Antithese told everyone to tell about their group members, including herself. After a while of talking about a bit of everyone, Code: Antithese chuckled and smiled widely. "This is rather an easy case. Did you find the culprit, intern?"

Dius Aer thought about it on paper in his hands. After hearing everyone's explanation, all he had to do was do the elimination process until he found the one possible culprit. His eyes widened in surprise, since it was actually obvious if they thought about it. "I got it!"

"Give us a hint! Which timeline is the culprit in?" Oz Sorcerer asked in curiosity.

Code: Antithese laughed and pointed her finger at Oz Sorcerer. "Yours. It's probably because it's yours, you couldn't believe your team member did it. But the next question would be… Who spread it to Twilight, when she was in another timeline?"

This was the list of the El Gang members: Rune Master, Oz Sorcerer, Anemos, Revenant, Code: Sariel, Centurion, Apsara, Bloody Queen, Overmind, Ishtar, Chevalier, Black Massacre, Herrscher, Twins Picaro, Liberator. Now… who could it be?
