In the vast, deep space of the Milky Way.
Starlight, like colored sand, was spread across the Milky Way's spiral arm that spanned the sky.
The colorful and magnificent riverside nebula seemed to be frozen in the instant a meteor streaked across.
Yet, beneath this Milky Way, a small and out-of-place gladiatorial arena appeared.
At this moment.
In the center of the arena stood a young girl in a black dress, looking like a midnight elf.
Her features were delicate, and her face, though youthful, was undoubtedly that of a rare beauty.
Her soft, black hair cascaded down her back.
Her twilight-colored eyes seemed to draw one into their depths.
Just then, in an open space not far from the girl, someone's slender figure appeared out of thin air as a flash of light passed.
When she saw Nan Li, the girl was slightly surprised by his temperament and good looks.
Of course, being well-traveled, she was more focused on Nan Li's temperament.
After all, no matter how good-looking an exterior, it was just a facade.
Logically, having lived for nearly a thousand years, she shouldn't have shown such an expression.
Hmm... perhaps she had been confined for too long, not having seen a single person in several hundred years.
"Hello, God from another World. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Lestia Ashdale."
Lestia gently pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands, bowed, and performed a formal greeting towards Nan Li, displaying utmost elegance.
The four words "Lestia" entered his ears, and Nan Li showed an expression of "sure enough."
Hearing the familiar name and seeing the familiar person, it was as if he had returned to that summer when he was a child.
People always liked to reminisce about the past, and Nan Li was no exception.
Looking at Lestia not far away, he nodded.
"Pleased to meet you, Dark Elf Miss. I am Nan Li."
Just then, a sound came from the stands surrounding the arena.
Three figures appeared there.
Ilaina, holding a flying broom, wearing a magic robe, and a large wizard's hat.
Bai Muzhen, in ancient attire, looking around and marveling at the beauty of the Milky Way.
And a cute girl, full of terror, curled up, and at a loss.
"Who is this beauty before you, wearing a brooch that signifies a Witch, with a head of gray hair, whose beauty and talent radiate such brilliance that even this Milky Way feels ashamed in her presence?"
"That's right, it's me, the Ash Witch—Ilaina."
Ilaina retracted her sparkling eyes that had been looking around and then introduced herself to the two girls beside her.
"Ah? Oh... Bai Muzhen of Wuxiang City, I greet you all."
Bai Muzhen, recovering from her shock at the Milky Way, introduced herself and cupped her hands in a bow towards Ilaina.
After the two girls finished their introductions, they simultaneously turned their gaze to the third person beside them.
Monica had not yet recovered from the sudden situation.
She had originally been lurking, as usual, and when she saw the "Do you wish to spectate?" prompt, she casually clicked "Yes" out of curiosity.
Unexpectedly, the scene suddenly shifted, and she found herself in a strange yet incredibly stunningly beautiful place.
Now, being stared at by two unfamiliar girls, and so closely, Monica couldn't help but freeze.
She now held her hands in fists at her chest, looking at Ilaina and Bai Muzhen with teary eyes.
"Mo... Mo..."
"Mo?" Ilaina tilted her head.
"Mo, momomo... Ni..."
"Momonie?" Bai Muzhen also tilted her head slightly.
"Moni Moni... Moni Mo..."
Monica's eyes unfocused, and then she completely collapsed and fainted on the ground.
If it weren't for her still mumbling, Ilaina and Bai Muzhen would have thought she had died.
"Oh my~ It seems our Chat Group member isn't aloof, but rather doesn't know how to interact with people."
Ilaina clapped her hands softly, and as she spoke, she also guessed that the other person was the Silent Witch herself.
Bai Muzhen looked at Monica lying on the ground and couldn't help but show surprise.
"Social anxiety to this extent? This is my first time seeing it."
The World is vast, and there are truly all kinds of wonders.
Whether it's the cosmic Milky Way.
Even people are the same.
"It's easy to catch a cold lying on the ground; let's help her up and put her on a seat," Bai Muzhen suggested.
Ilaina nodded, and the next second, she took out a magic wand.
"Miss Moni Mo You're not allowed to sleep on the ground here, you know"
She said playfully, then waved her magic wand gently at Monica's "corpse."
The next second, Monica floated up from the ground and was slowly placed onto a seat.
To ensure she wouldn't catch a cold, Ilaina even thoughtfully conjured a blanket and covered Monica with it.
"Wow! This, this is indeed immortal magic, isn't it?!"
Bai Muzhen, who had no concept of magic, immediately exclaimed.
Everything that had just happened, wasn't it just like the legendary spells?
Hearing this, Ilaina held the magic wand in her hand and gently waved it a few times at Bai Muzhen.
"It's magic~ Magic."
Next, Ilaina began to explain what magic was to Bai Muzhen.
And the latter also seriously absorbed the knowledge from another World... "So it's a little squirrel?"
Nan Li withdrew his gaze from the stands.
Although the entire arena was very large and the stands were very far from him, this didn't make much difference.
Even if he were to look down from outside a planet, as long as Nan Li wanted to, he could clearly see the people on the ground.
Monica Everett, from the Silent Witch World.
And the "little squirrel" in Nan Li's mouth was Monica's nickname.
Because she liked to eat tree nuts for lunch and behaved very timidly and cutely, just like a squirrel.
The nickname "little squirrel" was thus derived.
And her extremely socially anxious behavior always made Nan Li, who used to follow the anime, fantasize her as Bocchi-chan of the magic World.
As for why she was called the "Silent Witch," it was because she dared not speak in public.
But every magic assessment required chanting spells.
So she independently developed a technique that allowed her to cast spells without chanting, which was unique in the entire magic World.
And she, standing at the pinnacle of the World, was also given the title of "Silent Witch."
Counting the people present, Nan Li found that one was missing.
Strange... Where was Fujiwara Chika?
Shouldn't she be the one who liked such lively occasions the most?
Just then, a clear and pleasant voice interrupted Nan Li's thoughts.
"Mr. Nan Li, may we begin?" Lestia asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Nan Li looked at the eager Dark Elf Miss opposite him and asked.
"Are there any rules or restrictions?"
"None, just free play."
"Alright."
As Nan Li's words fell, Lestia spread a pair of pitch-black wings behind her, slowly flying into the air.
A few black feathers scattered down, forming an extremely beautiful scene under the Milky Way's sky.
"Oh wow! So the Dark Elf Miss is an angel."
Ilaina's exclamation came from the stands.
Looking at Nan Li below, Lestia's rosy lips slightly parted.
"Then... I'm coming~"
However.
Just as Lestia was about to launch her attack, she saw Nan Li below gently stomp his foot.
Something suddenly broke out of the ground.
Lestia hadn't even reacted; she only felt a blur before her eyes, and her head and chest were pierced by two vine-like objects.
Even if Lestia wanted to mobilize the magic power within her for an outburst, she found that in this state, she couldn't mobilize any power within her.
Sealing and absorbing magic power and life force...?
...[Strongest Dark Elf: One more round! @Nan Li]
[Strongest Dark Elf has challenged you to a duel. Do you accept?]
Without much hesitation, Nan Li directly clicked "No," and then typed in the Chat Group.
[Nan Li: Miss Lestia, there's no need anymore, right?]
He had originally just wanted to confirm her identity; since his goal had been achieved, there was no need to do anything extra.
[Strongest Dark Elf: I was careless just now, hurry up and agree! @Nan Li]
[Strongest Dark Elf has challenged you to a duel. Do you accept?]
Seeing her persistence, and since he was idle anyway, he might as well treat it as a warm-up before bed.
[Nan Li: Alright, then, one more time. Don't go crying and making a fuss if you lose again.]
[Strongest Dark Elf: I wasn't crying and making a fuss!]
Just as Nan Li was about to click "Yes," Fujiwara Chika, who had been missing for a while, suddenly @-ed everyone in the Chat Group.
[Fujiwara Chika: Hello, hello! Is anyone there? Help! @All Members]
[Ding~ An anomaly has been detected in Chat Group member "Fujiwara Chika's" World. Other members of the Chat Group are requested to decide whether to go and correct it based on their own strength. Afterwards, the Chat Group will issue corresponding rewards based on individual performance.]
