Pardo: Things aren't going the way they should

"Well then, let's say goodbye for now~ See you tomorrow~" Elysia waved to everyone and left with Eden and Veronica.

"See you tomorrow." Zhu Yufeng waved back.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yufeng with strange expressions. Why did their relationship seem to have become somewhat unusual after just one afternoon apart?

Could it be that Elysia A went up?

Kevin frowned, realizing something was amiss. He felt he needed to probe for information, but asking questions rashly seemed unwise; he needed to find the right opportunity.

Didn't Pardo say she wanted to play games with Feng? He's going too!

On the way back to the hotel.

As Veronica drove, she asked, "Miss Elysia, may I ask you something?"

Elysia was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Of course, no problem!"

Veronica hesitated for a moment before asking, "Miss Elysia, are you and that Yu Feng... a couple?"

Although she knew that Zhu Yufeng was still young, Veronica still chose to address him with respect afterward, since Zhu Yufeng brought her too much disharmony.

"Hmm, more than friends, but more than lovers?" Elysia tilted her head. She had asked Zhu Yufeng this question on the way to the meeting hotel, and Zhu Yufeng had given her the same slightly questioning answer.

Well, at least now I should be on the same starting line as Lilith... No, Lilith is still far ahead, I still need to work harder!

"Is that so?" Veronica thought for a long time before saying tactfully, "Have you ever considered that Mr. Yu Feng might have a side of him that you don't know about?"

Elysia was taken aback, then remembered that Eden had told her that Veronica was very good at judging people, and it was no wonder she said that; Maple did indeed have a cold side.

"Of course I know!" she replied with a smile. "Although we may not know each other well enough yet, we have enough time to get to know each other better."

Veronica stopped talking. Elysia had already made herself clear, which basically confirmed that she really liked that Yu Feng Xian and that she also knew about the other side of Yu Feng Xian. So Veronica chose to remain silent.

Anyway, she just wanted to remind Elysia, afraid that she would be deceived by the boy's kind appearance, but now it seems that she had done something unnecessary.

After all, if the boy's tenderness and affection for the girl are genuine, and the girl knows about the boy's other side but still loves him, then there's nothing wrong with that.

Upon arriving at the hotel where Eden was staying, as soon as they entered the suite, Eden couldn't help but ask, "Elysia, did you and Feng do something on the Ferris wheel...?"

It seems like the only explanation for this sudden development in their relationship is the Ferris wheel.

Elysia tossed herself onto the soft bed, thought for a moment, and decided not to tell Eden that she had gotten back on the Ferris wheel. She simply said, "We stayed under the Ferris wheel at sunset, until night fell, embracing each other until the very end~"

Eden: "???"

Wait... you... I thought Elysia and Maple had a serious talk again on the Ferris wheel, but how did you fast forward to their hugging at the end?

Could it be that Feng has finally come to her senses? After all, that's Feng, not Kevin... If that's really the case, then she is genuinely happy for her best friend.

But... did Kaede actually have to consider Lilith? So that's why Elysia told Veronica that they were more than friends but lovers? After all, Lilith, as Kaede's right-hand woman, was the first to confess to him, understood him the most, spent the longest time with him, and... was also the fastest to fall for Lilith.

In any case, it's a good thing that their relationship has improved. In Eden's eyes, the two are like twin stars orbiting each other in the night sky, redeeming one another. Well, I still need to find a way to bury Kevin first.

Eden still harbors a deep resentment about the team-building meal of noodles. She's seen a dozen soldiers sitting together eating noodles at least ten times! If Feng hadn't gone too, she wouldn't have... cough cough, she was just there to observe Feng for Elysia's sake, nothing more...

In the hotel where Zhu Yufeng and the others were staying, in the room of Pardo and Disaster.

Pardo sat cross-legged next to Zhu Yufeng, glanced at Kevin on Zhu Yufeng's other side, then at Ling sitting on her bed with Ying watching the game screen, and at Disaster and Kosma sitting on Disaster's bed, and at Su leaning against the windowsill...

Isn't something amiss with how things are developing?

Originally, she only wanted to play games with Brother Yu Feng, but Ling also insisted on coming over to play. There was no way around it; she had to take care of the child, and she couldn't leave Sister Ying alone, right? Then there's Amo... Sister Daisy can keep him in check, so why... are Boss Kevin and Brother Su here?!

So now everyone's here...

Forget it, at least Brother Yu Feng is playing games with me. I don't ask for much Pardo. If I can't be alone with Brother Yu Feng sitting with him is fine too.

People should always be content with what they have, she comforted herself.

Actually, Pardo isn't very good at playing games. After all, in that corner of Dusk Street, just being alive is the greatest happiness. Who has time to play games?

Sakura doesn't play games very often. In her memory, she's only played with Rin a few times... because she's not very good at it. When it comes to the later, more difficult levels, Rin usually goes to Zhu Yufeng or Mostima instead...

QAQ

So, when these two people were actually buying the game, they asked six-year-old Rin for her opinion...

Zhu Yufeng opened the package and looked at it, saying, "It's 'Unjust Punishment 2'. This game is pretty good."

They only released up to episode 9. Judging from the plot and some Easter eggs, it seemed like it would at least go up to episode 13 and finish, but unfortunately the studio was in the Mu Continent ...

Zhu Yufeng has played all nine levels of "Unjust Punishment," either playing with Ling or with Mostima.

In a way, Mostima is quite similar to Pardo. She just wanted to live a carefree life as a shut-in hacker. She initially became Fusion Warrior because this guy was paid to hack into the Fire Moth's internal system, causing the Fire Moth system to crash, and then she was taken to the operating table...

Even though my legs were trembling when the Tragedy of Binding, I still followed along...

Kevin glanced at Zhu Yufeng, who was staring blankly at the game disc, and thought for a moment. He seemed to have seen a similar game at Mostima's place, so Feng was thinking of Mostima.

Zhu Yufeng quickly snapped out of his reverie, put the game disc into the corresponding mechanism, and said, "This game has many hidden mechanisms and hidden missions. It might take several hours to complete them all."

"Really... that sounds good." Kevin picked up the controller; he could play games too! Putting everything else aside, Kevin's gaming skills among everyone present... were probably second only to Zhu Yufeng. After all, Kevin's original character design was a male version of Kiana, and there was another reason: everyone else was utterly useless.

"This game can be played by up to four people. Does anyone else want to try it?" Zhu Yufeng asked the others while teaching Pardo how to press the buttons.

"Me!" Ling raised her hand.

Zhu Yufeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's start with the three of us."

What games are these for? What if they develop bad habits? Ling is only six years old; playing this kind of game is way too early... Luckily, this game is for all ages and can be set to block inappropriate scenes, such as preventing the characters from bleeding.

Bell. "!"

The little girl puffed up her cheeks in anger. She was the one who chose this game, so why wouldn't Brother Yu Feng let her play it?

"Brother Yu Feng, you're mean!" the little girl said, looking aggrieved.

Zhu Yufeng didn't even turn his head. "You can play when you're a few years older."

Rin looked up at her older sister, hoping that her sister could say something for her, but Sakura just patted her head and said, "Listen, Rin, Kaede is right. You're still young, just take a look."

Bell. "..."

(ﾉꐦ๑´Д`๑)ﾉ┻━┻

So everyone else watched as Zhu Yufeng and his two companions played games.

"There should be a mechanism here that can open the door to the underground labyrinth," Zhu Yufeng said as he searched around with his character.

"Is this it?" Kevin said, controlling his character to press the switch.

Sure enough, a hidden door appeared.

"Uh... Brother Yu Feng, Boss Kevin..." Pardo, controlling her character, followed behind the two. "Speaking of which, shouldn't we finish that... what's-his-name questline first? The princess is still with the Demon King..."

Zhu Yufeng and Kevin exchanged a glance and said in unison, "That's not important."

Pardo: "..."

Something's not right about how this is going... If this were real, that guy would be in a really bad situation...

Oh well, as long as I can play games with Brother Yu Feng, I don't care about anything else.
