"Since that's the case, I'll forgive you this time~" Kiana was in a much better mood and finally turned her attention back to the game.
"Mei, hurry up and kick Boss Mo Li out so I can get in."
Mei: "..."
Before she could say anything, Mo Li smiled. "All right. If I don't give Mei back to you, you'll probably pounce on me and bite me again~"
The moment he said that, even Kiana could not help blushing.
"How could I possibly... bite people..."
"All right, you two have fun. Eden seems to be coming to the Studio, so I'll go pick her up."
After saying that, Mo Li left the recording room and called Eden instead.
"Miss Eden, do you have time now?"
Eden's voice soon came from the other end of the call. "Mm, based on the address you gave me... I should arrive in about two minutes."
"Okay, I'll come out and meet you now."
Meeting Eden and Elysia Again~
Hi~ Did you miss me? No matter when or where, Elysia will always answer your expectations.
When Mo Li arrived at the meeting spot, Elysia was still the first to greet him.
"Hi~ We meet again. Did you miss me?"
Hearing that lively, adorable voice, Mo Li could not suppress the smile at the corner of his lips.
"Of course. With Miss Elysia around, even the air seems to become more cheerful~"
"Hehe~ Boss Mo Li is really good at complimenting girls~"
At that moment, Eden stepped out of the car as well. "Boss Mo Li, long time no see~"
"Long time no see, Miss Eden. How are your new album's sales?"
"Thanks to Honkai Impact 3rd, they're much, much better than the sales of my previous albums~"
"You're joking, Miss Eden. Clearly, Honkai Impact 3rd was the one riding your popularity—"
"Hehe~ Leaving girls standing outside isn't the right choice, you know~"
"Oh, right. Please follow me, you two."
After leading Elysia and Eden into the building, even the two girls who had seen plenty of the world could not help being surprised.
The building's interior was simply luxurious to the extreme.
"Wow~ It's even prettier than Eden's home~"
When Elysia saw Durandal and the others, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Hi~ Long time no see~"
Durandal and the others, who were trying out Genshin Impact, all looked somewhat surprised when they saw Elysia.
Rita instinctively exited the game and walked over with elegant steps.
"Boss~ Is there anything I can do for you?"
Mo Li shook his head. "No need, Rita. I'll just talk with Eden."
"Mm... Then call me if you need anything, Boss."
Elysia also smiled and waved at Rita. "Miss Rita~ See you later~"
After giving Elysia and Eden a polite smile, Rita left.
Watching Rita's departing figure, Elysia could not help feeling a little regretful.
She really wanted to immediately go and bond with those beautiful girls.
But she had business with Mo Li this time, so she could only suppress the thought in her heart.
After Mo Li brought the two into his office, they had barely sat down before Elysia impatiently asked,
"Boss Mo Li, have you finished the character models for Eden and me?"
Mo Li smiled and nodded, opening his computer to show them the Elysium Ever After version of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Looking at the incredibly exquisite models on the screen, Elysia's eyes immediately lit up.
"Sure enough, Boss Mo Li never disappoints~"
Eden nodded as well, clearly very satisfied.
Whether it was the appearance or the figure, they were practically identical.
The outfit was sexy, but not revealing.
And Elysia's every movement on the screen perfectly matched her personality as well.
At that moment, the Elysia in the game waved toward the camera and said energetically,
"Hi~ The weather is wonderful today! Sparkling brightly, just like me~"
When Elysia heard that voice, identical to her own, her lips parted into an O of surprise.
"Huh? Huh! This... sounds exactly like me~ Boss Mo Li, how did you do that?"
Eden was equally surprised, looking at Mo Li with a strange expression. "Was this... also voiced by Boss Mo Li?"
Before Mo Li could deny it, Elysia exclaimed in delight, "Hehe~ I never expected Boss Mo Li to have such an adorable maiden's heart~"
Mo Li hurriedly waved his hands.
"Don't misunderstand. The voice acting was synthesized with artificial intelligence..."
No matter what, he could not admit that he had voiced those lines himself.
That would be far too embarrassing.
"Oh~~ Is that so..." Elysia touched her chin with a jade-like finger, pondering for a moment before giving Mo Li a sly smile.
That was right, she did not believe him!
But she did not expose him either.
Sensing that things were going badly, Mo Li immediately changed the subject. "Ahem... Miss Elysia, Miss Eden, would you be interested in voicing your own characters?"
"Hehe~ Can we really?"
"Voice acting... That does sound like something new." Eden smiled. "I'd quite like to give it a try."
Their answers surprised Mo Li greatly.
He had only mentioned it to change the subject.
Yet the two girls immediately agreed.
But that was entirely a good thing.
The Elysium Ever After version would not be released for quite a while, so they had more than enough time to try voice acting.
With his guidance, there would definitely be no problem even if they had no experience.
And in the end, even if they could not learn it, he could still use the voice acting the system had given him in time.
Either way, there was absolutely no way the game would have any problems.
"Since you two are interested, I naturally welcome you with open arms~"
After receiving Mo Li's confirmation, a glimmer of excitement flashed through Elysia's eyes.
She really was interested in voice acting.
But she was actually even more interested in the beautiful girls at the Studio.
Mm... She was also quite interested in this Boss Mo Li with a maiden's heart.
If she participated in the voice acting, then wouldn't she... be able to come to the Studio often and get close to all those beautiful girls?
"Then it's settled. If my voice acting isn't good enough when the time comes, you can't blame Elysia, okay~"
Hearing Elysia say that, Mo Li seemed to think of something and could not help laughing.
"If it's Elysia... you just need to act naturally and read the lines as they are. There's no need to worry about anything else."
Elysia's expression brightened. "There are already lines~ Can adorable Elysia take a look?"
"No rush. When the time comes, I'll just send you the Elysium Ever After script."
"Then it's settled~ You must never go back on a promise made to a cute girl~"
While Mo Li and Elysia were talking, Eden's attention remained fixed on the computer screen.
At that moment, Elysia also noticed that something was off with Eden and followed her gaze.
Then she noticed that what was on the screen... seemed to be a game interface, rather than merely character models!
"Boss Mo Li, have you already fully completed the characters?"
Mo Li nodded. "That's right. The skills, stats, and battle voice lines are all done. Would you like to try them?"
At those words, both Elysia and Eden immediately became interested.
She tried pressing a movement key, and the Elysia in the game moved as well, saying something that fit Elysia's personality perfectly.
"You can look at me openly, you know~ After all... I'm looking at you too~"
Seeing that, Eden pulled the laptop closer.
The game took place in the open-world setting of Schicksal Airport.
Accompanied by a burst of passionate voice acting, Eden controlled Elysia and attacked a Celestial Mandate mech at the airport.
As alarms rang out, the game entered combat mode.
The dashing and beautiful pink-haired girl wielded a bow, weaving and dancing through the crowd of mechs.
Her mischievous laughter and adorable lines made Eden adore her even more.
She really was exactly like the Elysia beside her.
She suddenly had a feeling...
If there truly were a world shrouded by Honkai... then Elysia's battle stance would surely be no different from the one in the game.
Even if the world fell into darkness, Elysia would still hold hope in her heart, and the smile would never vanish from her face.
Eden pressed Elysia's ultimate.
The game screen changed, and the perspective seemed to turn into an animated short.
Facing the camera, Elysia blew a kiss before shooting a pink arrow into the sky.
"My feelings~ You must accept them properly~"
The arrow seemed to pierce through the heavens, exploding into countless cracks in the air.
The cracks bloomed like flowers, rapidly forming a pink domain that trapped all the nearby mechs within it.
The girl moved with elegance and charm, blinking, leaping, and shooting within the pink domain... Like a fairy of the mortal world, she drew people in at first sight.
Elysia herself was also filled with delighted surprise.
"Wow~~ Boss Mo Li, you understand me far too well~"
"Could it be that Boss Mo Li and I are connected by heart too~"
Mo Li laughed helplessly. "After all, this Valkyrie was made using you as the template. Naturally, she had to match your character setting."
Eden also turned to look at Mo Li then, admiration rising in her heart. "Although I had expected it... seeing the final result still shocked me..."
After a pause, she added, "I like it very much~ Agreeing to work with you really was the right choice~"
"Hehe~ Being able to see another me in a game really is a wonderful experience~" Elysia said as she took the computer back.
