Mobius: So You've Started Persecuting Me, Have You?

On the first day, when the group met up with Elysia, apart from Sakura who had taken Rin to rest early in the morning and the health guru Su, everyone else was yawning.

Seeing that everyone looked like they hadn't woken up yet, Elysia asked curiously, "What game did you all play yesterday?"

Did everyone play until they all looked like they hadn't woken up yet?

"Heh..." Pardo yawned and said listlessly, "I got too caught up in that game yesterday. I thought it would be over once we rescued the princess."

"As it turns out, Kevin and Feng never even considered rescuing the princess; they were just busy running off on side quests." Disaster Dobiya squinted at Zhu Yufeng and Kevin.

Zhu Yufeng retorted, "The essence of playing games isn't just blindly following the main storyline. Side quests are interesting too, aren't they? Besides, who was so excited yesterday to let us fight the Frost Giants in Jotunheim?"

"Ahem, after all, the Jotunheim Frost Giant statue looks pretty cool and can drop top-tier weapons..." Disaster guiltily looked away.

Although Kosma was somewhat listless, he kept thinking about what happened while playing the game the night before. After all, the storyline was getting more and more interesting, and the art style was very much to Kosma's liking, so he got hooked...

So the situation changed after that, with Zhu Yufeng and Kevin, two veterans, leading Pardo and Kosma, two rookies.

"It sounds really good. When will you take me to play with you, Feng?" Elysia turned her gaze to Zhu Yufeng.

Zhu Yufeng rubbed his temples. "Maybe when I have time... No, I'm too sleepy, I need to buy a can of coffee."

Su looked at Zhu Yufeng, frowned slightly, and said, "Feng, drinking too much coffee is bad for your health."

In his previous life, he had seen Feng drinking coffee quite often. However, that was due to special circumstances at the time. The Fallen Angel Squad often needed to go on missions to suppress rebels or hunt Honkai Beast. As Fusion Warrior, their bodies were more resilient. But the Present situation is different.

"It's okay to drink a little bit occasionally," Zhu Yufeng waved his hand.

Before Sue could say anything more, Kevin yawned and chimed in, "I need to buy a can of coffee too..."

Su: "..."

Kevin... if you keep doing this, I want to bury you too. Feng has a bunch of unhealthy habits, and you're still keeping up that unhealthy lifestyle with him.

Pardo glanced at Kevin, then at Zhu Yufeng. The way these two were yawning was quite different from the image of the two strongest warriors of the Fire Moth that she remembered... It seems that sometimes, Heroes are indeed not much different from ordinary people.

"Then please buy me a can too, Brother Yu Feng ~" Pardo has never drunk coffee much, but since Brother Yu Feng and Boss Kevin both drink it, it wouldn't hurt for her to try it, right?

"...I want one too," Kosma said.

(Drinking coffee... I do remember often seeing Lilith buying coffee or Maple drinking coffee... Kevin seems to drink it occasionally, so I'll give it a try... It shouldn't be a big problem, right?)

"Sister, what is coffee?" Rin looked up at Sakura.

"Adults drink beverages, the Present can't drink them yet," Sakura replied. Coffee... well, she's drunk her fair share...

So Kevin and Zhu Yufeng went to a nearby vending machine to buy coffee.

"Do you like this kind of bitter coffee?" Kevin asked, watching Zhu Yufeng operate the vending machine.

Zhu Yufeng picked up his coffee and replied, "Yeah, it's kind of a habit. What kind of coffee do you like? How much sugar do you like?" Compared to the constant, burning pain throughout his body in his previous life, this bitterness was nothing. In fact, it was this bitterness that made him more accustomed to that pain.

"Put in more, I don't really like bitter coffee," Kevin said.

"Hmm...yeah, it's probably the first time for Pardo and Kosma to drink coffee, so please add more sugar to their coffee." Zhu Yufeng took two cans of coffee from under the vending machine and gave them to Kevin. "You can have this one, and Kosma can have this one."

Kevin took the coffee and asked, "Speaking of which, what did you and Elysia do yesterday afternoon?"

I got so caught up in the game yesterday that I forgot to ask.

Zhu Yufeng took out Pardo and his own coffee, stood up and said, "Didn't Elysia say that we went to the aquarium, watched a movie, and rode the Ferris wheel together?"

Kevin said, "That's not what I wanted to ask. I meant... your relationship with her seems to have gotten a little closer?"

Zhu Yufeng was taken aback, glanced at Kevin, then turned and walked back the way she came, saying, "It's nothing, it's just... it's an agreement that we won't know the outcome until the Finality..."

Is it a promise that the outcome will only be known before the Finality?

Kevin thought of that final banquet and the figure that vanished on the moon, so he didn't press the matter further. Instead, he said, "This time, we can definitely avoid making the same helpless sacrifice as in our last life."

Zhu Yufeng didn't look at Kevin, but said, "Elysia is one thing, but are you really this naive as to have fought against the Finality? Kevin, when the Finality comes, if we want to protect the lights of thousands of homes behind us, someone is destined to sacrifice themselves. I don't want that person to be anyone else."

"We also don't want that person to be you."

"... Then let's wait and see."

Upon returning to the meeting point, everyone noticed an inexplicably heavy atmosphere between Zhu Yufeng and Kevin. It seemed as if the two had had some unpleasant argument. Zhu Yufeng's expression remained unchanged, but Kevin's face was rather grave.

"Here, this is a coffee for you, Pardo." Zhu Yufeng smiled and handed the coffee to Pardo. "I bought it because I guessed it was your first time drinking it."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yu Feng!" Pardo took the coffee from Zhu Yufeng, pulled the tab, and eagerly took a sip. Her expression immediately fell. "It's so bitter!"

"Once you get used to it, it feels sweet," Zhu Yufeng said with a smile.

Kevin silently handed the coffee meant for Kosma to Kosma, then quietly opened his own coffee and drank it.

Today's itinerary is to visit some famous landmarks in Puyang City. Zhu Yufeng has never been interested in these things. His interest in art is limited to appreciating music, although he himself knows nothing about music.

So he started thinking about what to bring back for Mobius and Qianjie. Griseo might not have any memories, he should at least bring something for Hen to give to Griseo.

I wonder if Griseo has any chance of regaining her memories of her past life, if she does...

Zhu Yufeng inexplicably thought of a child who had just learned to speak and whose first words were, "Roar, Kosma!"

That scene...

Cough cough, I suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore.

"What's wrong, Feng? Did you think of something funny?" Elysia asked Zhu Yufeng, who was inexplicably laughing.

Others also looked over.

"Nothing, nothing, I was just wondering if I should bring back a fitness calendar or something for Dr. Mobius..."

"Mobius's fitness calendar? Haha... that sounds really interesting." Pardo was the first to laugh out loud. She could already imagine the expression on Mobius's face when she saw what Brother Yu Feng brought back for her. Even she probably couldn't refuse it. That Mobius who stayed in the lab all day long was completely controlled by Brother Yu Feng.

Although strictly speaking, they should be rivals in love, well... Mobius is truly pitiful...

Elysia laughed too, imagining Mobius's expression. She then said, "How about I bring her a pink dress back too?" Before, because she was too small, she could only prepare a small pink dress. She had never seen Mobius wear one. No, this time she had to bring a pink gown back for Mobius.

"I'm afraid only Elysia and Maple can control Mobius like this, right?" Su said with a smile to Kevin. There was something he didn't say: only Maple could make Mobius obedient.

I'm afraid Kevin will do something stupid again, just because he's so straightforward.

Kevin nodded but didn't speak. He kept thinking about what Zhu Yufeng had said to him before. Was he too naive? Since they had a second chance, everything was uncertain, so why couldn't they change the ending of the previous life? Even if the Finality was very strong, so what? This time, they had plenty of time to prepare.

"Feng, I will prove you wrong with facts," Kevin thought to himself.

After a while, Kevin remembered something and asked Sue in confusion, "We're going back tomorrow, and today is for shopping, so why did you make me buy things yesterday?"

Su: "..."

Isn't that because I'm afraid you'll do something stupid?

Sue still chose to continue fooling Kevin: "After all, today is for everyone to buy gifts. Mei is your girlfriend, so there's nothing wrong with you buying gifts for her separately first, isn't there?"

Kevin thought the explanation made sense, and then said, "Since Feng gave Mobius a fitness calendar, I'll give her some dumbbells or something."

Sue: "... Kevin, let's not."

Maple and Elysia, one is someone Mobius likes, and the other is someone Mobius can't have. You really can't do what they can do, my old friend!
