You Have a New Job (Continued)
"Oh, and then?"
Compared to Elysia, Mobius was not as affected by the experiment.
The Fire Moth in the apocalypse have done even crazier things, and Mobius was among the most insane of them. It was just an artificial Great Honkai; if it weren't related to Anqi, Mobius wouldn't have bothered to look at it closely.
Elysia shook her head sadly:
"But whatever he's carrying, it's wrong. We can no longer influence him, but Anqi has the right to make any decisions... Mobius, please don't bring this up in front of that child, okay?"
Do you think I'm like you, with a big mouth that has no zipper, who likes to spread nonsense all day long?
"... I'm not a big mouth! Don't slander me like Little Anqi did, Mobius!"
"I can see your mouth is wide open right now."
Mobius said with a mocking expression.
In fact, Elysia could understand that Mobius wanted to change the subject and didn't want to continue dwelling on things that couldn't be changed.
However, Elysia had already endured a lot of hardship in order to obtain the information, and she didn't want to put up with it any longer.
"Huh? Elysia, what are you doing!?"
"Hehehe, Dr. Mobius, there's no one else here. Have you forgotten that, in terms of combat power, the cute and dashing fairy lady ranks the same as Flame-Chasers?"
"Wait, don't come any closer!"
Mobius had clearly forgotten that Elysia was not only good with words, but also with skill and strength.
This is also why Mobius often hesitates to provoke her too much. When Elysia abandons verbal communication and takes direct action, Mobius is powerless to resist.
The two joked around for quite a while.
It was mainly Elysia who kept rubbing Mobius's face and body, while Mobius struggled in vain despite his best efforts.
Mobius's eyes became vacant, and he simply gave up resisting.
Elysia rubbed Mobius's soft little face again, feeling that she was already exhausted, before hugging Mobius's body and hesitatingly saying:
"How about we give everyone a heads-up, so they don't unknowingly bring up Anqi's sore spots? What do you say, my Mobius?"
"..."
"Don't be so cold. You know I'm not as smart as you, Mobius."
"... None of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers are truly stupid. Even you have noticed it, so the others will guess something sooner or later."
The implication is that someone might have noticed something but not fully understood it, and then, without considering the seriousness of the situation, seek confirmation from Anqi. Therefore, the risk that Elysia was worried about is indeed real.
Mobius agreed with Elysia's consideration, and then, taking advantage of her inattention, used his flexible body to slip out of the restraints and almost tumbled back to the laboratory—that was her territory, where at least he would have some countermeasures and wouldn't be completely passive.
"Griseo doesn't need that."
Mobius left one last sentence.
The child wouldn't think of that, nor would she bring it up herself, so let's not shatter her impression of Kevin.
"Pfft!"
Elysia looked at her empty hands, a sly glint in her eyes, and laughed out loud.
Then, her beautiful face eventually dimmed.
"Kevin..."
The cheerful spirit, who was thought to never be sad, was now shrouded in the same sorrow as ordinary people, except for her otherworldly beauty.
