\"Elin<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Greetings, fellow adventurers! This is the Elin State of the Game editorial team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’d like to share Elin-related news that have been sent in from all over Ylva this month as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the July issue of \u201cElin State of the Game,\u201d out on Nyan Nyan Day (the 22nd), as always. We hope you\u2019ll read this while enjoying a special treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Nyanth\u2019s Update<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Check it all out!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It seems that last month in North Tyris, many sweets became widespread, and delicious-looking monsters also made an appearance.
Items that expand the range of tools have been introduced as well, which should make farming and cooking even more efficient.
(For details on all updates,\u00a0see Ylvapedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agricultural Revolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Good news for Kumiromi followers diligently watering their large farms. A watering can capable of watering a wide area of fields at once has been developed!
It appears that several other tools can now also be upgraded to affect a wider area. Interested adventurers should check the crafting recipes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sweets Boom Has Arrived<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A sweets boom has recently hit North Tyris.
No matter who you ask, everyone seems to be craving sweets lately. This strange phenomenon is shrouded in mystery, but the desire to eat delicious desserts wins out, and no one is trying to uncover the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Faster!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the summer-themed items introduced in last month’s issue, many vehicles and pieces of furniture have begun to appear on the market.
Among them, sightings have been confirmed of items that represent the pinnacle of extreme modification, such as a wheelchair equipped with a jet thruster. It seems that no matter the era, the curiosity of engineers is truly endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hint of a Tea Boom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are also bringing you a sneak peek of some Nightly info.
This is a field of the new crop, “tea.” You will be able to grow the new ingredient, “tea leaves,” and process them to make matcha powder and matcha cream. There is no doubt that the cafe scene in North Tyris will become even richer moving forward.
Are those roses visible in the distance? While they are edible like other flowers, their thorns make them highly unsuitable for consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rumors of a God<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although unconfirmed, rumors are spreading that a god has been seen in Aquli Teola.
Even if a god were to truly descend to the surface, unless you were deeply connected to the divine, you would likely never be blessed with the opportunity to encounter them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Official Illustration Introduction ~ Lumiest Gallery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This time around, the first illustration by Elin illustrator NZ features Ashland and Fiama in summer swimsuits.
Unlike their usual appearance with their hoods pulled low over their eyes, these outfits are light and refreshing. Under different circumstances, perhaps we might have been able to see the two of them just like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next up is the concept art for Isygarad.
While it is fascinating to see the trial and error unfold from the initial sketches, the cute mini illustrations in the margins are also not to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Official Music Introduction ~ Palmia Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next up is a piece by Elin composer NINO.
This time, we’re introducing the hymn of Yevan of Strife, the god of war.
Its heavy, heroic rhythm carries an imposing atmosphere, almost as if you can hear the sound of marching boots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi, it’s NINO!
The hymn of Yevan of Strife is the heartbeat of battle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a great war, a small nation facing certain defeat
beat the drums of war,
invoking Yevan of Strife to rally their broken troops.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created in a small nation of non-combatants,
this song roused even priests, women, and children.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is said that the final sight witnessed by the vanquished enemy king,
amidst the terrifying roar of the drums of war,
was a demonic army clad in blood-soaked black,
breaching castle walls scorched by the flames of purgatory.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a later great war, this song was favored
by a military dictatorship that destroyed everything in its path.
As a march to inspire armies heading to the front lines,
it ignited the flames of war in the souls of those who fought.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
