"Actually, I'm about 324 years old."
Everyone fell silent.
"… Come again?"
"I'm 224," Monica repeated once more. "So no, I am not younger than Elder Zhang."
"Elves have different lifespans compared to humans," Mei'Er explained in her stead. "I'm surprised you didn't know, but in human years… she's approximately 22."
"So it's a roughly 10:1 ratio," I muttered in thought. "I see."
"Huh… it's just that, you seemed so young, I thought…" Ming Yi trailed off, scratching his head awkwardly.
"I AM young," Monica replied with a chuckle. "For an elf, anyway."
After we finished eating, we all went to bed in preparation for the next day.

When we woke up, Hina-nee, Furuwa, Monica, and I set out to do some hunting, since the other four went yesterday. Because we had 8 people, we were going on rotation — 4 people go out to hunt Magic Beasts and Monsters to rack up as many points as possible, and 4 people stay behind to guard the Zone.
