'A day with an Elf is enough to cure my loneliness because Syifa left her, she is a substitute companion on my journey...'
'Elf has more knowledge more than Syifa I think she is the best teacher who can teach me something, meanwhile, I wander around while practicing my skills. To train the strength of course we need to eat. Unfortunately, the money that Syifa left in her carriage is running low, I have to find a decent job.'
"Hey elf, is there a place to find a coin in this world?" I asked in surprise but, the elf didn't seem to be working because of the danger that he would get caught by a lot of people.
"Eh? Coin? You mean money, right? If that's the case, I have a lot." The elf replied casually.
"Eh, eeeh!? Are you sure?" Anko responded by putting on a surprised face for not noticing that an elf had a lot of money in her pocket.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" exclaimed Anko in annoyance when the elf showed her a bag of money that wasn't just coined.
"But, it looks like this is money someone gave me a few years ago…" The elf said in an even tone.
Anko immediately put on a lazy face and thought, "A few years ago, huh? And about whether the money she brought was still valid? The world from time to time usually the system changes."
Meanwhile, Anko's concern about the money not selling anymore actually made the elf smile cheerfully because she felt that she had done something useful.
'Anyway, where did he get that money... someone's gift?' Anko thought maybe from people who were in the past like her lover, best friend, or her friend who was an elf too.
"Hah~" Anko sighed feeling this all useless.
"Ah~ anyway we have to find work first!" exclaimed Anko seriously.
"Searching job?" asked the elf in surprise.
"Yeah, I think by working we will earn enough money to travel..." Anko explained with a logical reason.
While Elf who heard it put on a pitiful face, "Eh~ isn't my money enough, huh?"
With a disapproving expression Anko explained, "Ah, it's best to keep it first… it's your precious money so I'm not forcing you to use your money."
"O-oh, alright." Elf complied.
In a place let's call it the northern village because the territory was in the north according to what the elves said, Anko and she tried to rent an inn for a day. The residents there did not know that what Anko brought was an elf because before heading to the area which was near the city, Anko told the elves to wear a veil and veil to cover her beautiful figure.
The return journey continued according to the route the elves had given to get to the city, on the other hand, Anko felt her strength increase. For her, experience is what makes her like this.
Previously...
While on the way before entering the northern village, Anko found a lot of monsters ranging from orcs, goblins, golems...
All of them were dangerous monsters, but it was thanks to the elves beside her that they became the source of her strength. She fights while protecting the elf, she fights according to the elf directions, she promises to protect the elf on her way to the city that contains the castle building.
Somehow...
Anko felt there must be something there that unraveled the mysteries of this world.
Every time she finished fighting, Anko always saw a bar meter that showed his strength status, of course until then there was no log-out button or how to get out of this world.
"Hey elf, is there such a thing in this world as a world leader or something?" asked Anko to be sure. If in the world that name is God.
"Um, why is there!" exclaimed the elf seriously.
"Eh, what do you call that world leader?" asked Anko to be sure.
"We call it… um, what is it…?" The elves are also confused!
"In our world, we call him God aka Kamisama." Anko explained, "And for those who spread God's teachings this is a prophet, well~ it's a kind of belief that we have to believe in and become our guide in life."
So, according to Anko, if this is another world and the place is real, maybe it will be the same for those who here will know the term, God.
"It doesn't look like it!" cried the elf denying it.
"What we call world leaders or what we call Gods are more often referred to as our pendulums." An elf with a reassuring face.
"Pendulum?" muttered Anko in surprise.
Anko said in her heart, "It means that in this world there is no such belief system but they still know the term devil..."
"But, a leader of this place is thought to be a descendant of that god." obviously elf again...
"Oh, I see." Anko commented casually, in her heart saying, "So it's kind of an emperor who is believed to be an incarnation of a god but the creatures here call it a pendulum."
"Of course, the pendulum is the one who rules in this world and no one can beat him." Elf explained very convincingly.
"Have you ever met that pendulum before? Or when you live in the sky?" asked Anko to be sure.
"Back then… never at all…"
"The so-called ancient ruins are plentiful in this outer region but not many of the elves have appeared and many of them are dead." Said one of the elves who seemed to understand this much.
"So, there might be a few elves left, huh?"
"Yes, they can live for hundreds of years depending on mana, and therefore the mana here is depleted due to being absorbed by monsters and demons…"
"To be more precise, this world is now controlled by the demons who usurped your power, right!?"
"Yes, right! The devil employs humans... that's why when I saw humans coming, I thought they were evil humans who would take our lives. But, after seeing you it seems that you are very different…"
Inwardly the elf said, "Perhaps you will save this world…."
"Oh, that's because I'm not from this world," Anko confirmed it again.
"That is true." Elf also believed it.
However, what Anko had in mind right now was that there must be a way to get out of this world, namely by fighting the pendulum that the elf mentioned. If this world does not know the name of God or something like that, surely this world is made by humans who are in the future.
Anko confidently thought so.
Now Anko has a new goal, and to defeat the pendulum, she must first find the incarnation of the god...
However, to realize that goal is not easy, at least it takes a lot more strength to reach the highest level in this world.

Now, what should Anko do?
