"Elysia, are you sure you can really do this?" Zhu Yufeng finished arranging the treatment of the Honkai energy -Honkai Energy Corrosion patient and looked at Elysia. He had seen the message Kosma had sent him earlier. He was just about to reply and tell Kosma and Disaster to speak their minds when Elysia took his phone away before he could even type it.

Elysia said she would take care of everything and make sure Kosma and Disaster had a good talk.

Zhu Yufeng then stopped interfering.

As for Elysia saying she'd keep his phone for a day, let her have it.

Anyway, he doesn't really need it the Present.

Besides, there was nothing on his phone, so no matter how much Elysia searched through the chat history, it was useless.

As they were talking, the two saw Kosma walking over. Zhu Yufeng looked at Kosma and asked, "Are you done talking?"

Kosma nodded, glanced at Elysia, then looked at Zhu Yufeng: "Have the patients all been settled?"

"Yes. The logistics team from the Fire Moth will be here soon. After that, they will take these patients away and conduct a full check on the residents here," Zhu Yufeng said. "What about Disaster? Didn't she come with us?"

"I have nothing to do with her anymore," Kosma said. "People with different views cannot make plans together. I remember that's a proverb from your hometown. She can't accept it the Present, and what I'm about to do might be even more incomprehensible to her, so..."

"So you dumped her?" Zhu Yufeng looked at Elysia. "Is this what you meant by 'carrying her on'? This is obviously a disaster."

Elysia's eye twitched.

Kosma didn't even blush this time. He simply said, "There was never any beginning between us. Your statement is inaccurate, Maple. It's just... perhaps I do have special feelings for her. And that's why I don't want to see her struggling and suffering because of me. Rather than letting me stay by her side and cause her distress and pain, I'd rather leave first."

Zhu Yufeng shifted her gaze to Kevin and Su, who had just finished arranging for another patient and were walking over. "... Is it possible that she likes you too?"

He doesn't like to get involved in other people's relationship problems. After all, he hasn't even sorted out the various relationships around him, so how could he be in the mood to create couples?

As for Kosma and Disaster, he could only touch upon the matter briefly. Don't drag him into offering advice. To be honest, he felt it was a pity that the two of them weren't together. Therefore, he wouldn't offer any suggestions. No matter how much outsiders talked about their relationship, it was up to them to take that step themselves.

If they confirm their relationship and need his advice, he feels he can still help.

"Perhaps." Kosma was unusually frank. "However... it's better to part ways sooner rather than later than to suffer together."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

Well, it seems to make sense? If Kosma says that, then shouldn't he and Elysia also break up sooner? The eleventh law is an unavoidable hurdle, a future they must face, and it's almost impossible for him and Elysia to agree on this point.

No, that's not right either. Elysia understands herself, and he understands Elysia. Perhaps... there's a lack of heart-to-heart communication between Kosma and Disaster.

Wait... why would he think that? Could it be that he really likes Elysia the Present...?

No, he knew he had no the Present of confirming any relationship with Elysia. In fact, he was well aware of Elysia's feelings, and Elysia was also clear about his attitude. Their the Present relationship was one of mutual understanding, maintaining a kind of relationship that was neither quite friendship nor quite romance.

Elysia looked at Kosma with a troubled expression. She really didn't expect Kosma to say that. She felt that the problem lay in what Zhu Yufeng and the others had said to Kosma last night. So she looked at Zhu Yufeng and asked, "What did you guys talk about last night, Feng?"

Zhu Yufeng glanced at Kosma, who was explaining the situation to Kevin, and then looked at Elysia: "Kosma has decided to follow the path that Kevin and I have walked. He still wants to be Heroes. I'm not sure if he wants to be Heroes like Kevin, or like me. Maybe he wants to be a third kind of Heroes. No matter what kind of Heroes he is, Kosma will unhesitatingly choose the lesser of two evils. But before that, he will do everything in his power to prevent that situation from happening."

"You've finally admitted you're Heroes," Elysia smiled.

"My personal opinion and what others think are two different things. If you think I'm Heroes, then maybe I am. If I don't agree, that's my own opinion," Zhu Yufeng said expressionlessly. "So, what did you talk about with Disaster yesterday?"

"Hmm... I've shifted the blame a bit to Kevin, since Kevin and Kosma have spent a lot of time together lately, and besides, Kosma has always been imitating Kevin, hasn't he?" Elysia shrugged. "What I didn't expect is that Kosma seems to be starting to imitate you the Present."

Zhu Yufeng remained noncommittal, but continued, "What should we do about Disaster's the Present?"

"Phew... I guess I'll have to let Phyllis comfort her. I could do it myself, but who says the Present is the closest person to Phyllis right now?" Elysia said. "Maple, tell me what you think. What's your opinion on this?"

"I won't offer any advice on this," Zhu Yufeng replied. "After all, I haven't even managed to handle my own relationships properly."

Elysia knew what Zhu Yufeng was referring to. She pouted and said, "The fairy lady doesn't give up easily!"

The Present Feng is willing to let me keep his phone for a day, it means their relationship is getting closer, just like Lilith's last time! Even if I was the one who got poached, it's the same if I get another one.

Speaking of Lilith... what is she doing the Present?

As they were talking, Disaster came over. The girl's eyes were red, and she had obviously just been crying.

After finishing their assigned tasks, Pardo and Sakura walked over. When Pardo saw Disaster's appearance, she quickly went up to her and asked, "Sister Daisy, what's wrong? What did Amo say?"

Disaster paused for a moment, then said with a slight sob in her voice, "Amo... he said he wants to break up with me!"

"Separate?" Pardo tilted her head. "What's that?"

"It means that two people have gone down different paths and will never see each other again," Zhu Yufeng said.

Disaster looked at Zhu Yufeng without saying a word.

When Zhu Yufeng said this in such an emotionless tone, it was like stating a fact, which was very heartbreaking.

"Ah..." Pardo looked troubled. There was nothing she could do about it. She could only try to say, "Perhaps Amo doesn't think that way?"

Before Disaster could speak, Zhu Yufeng said first, "Kosma is serious."

Disaster: "..."

Feng, please don't say anything...

Zhu Yufeng looked at Disaster and decided to try one last time. He said, "It's inevitable to be sad about this, but you can't let it get to you. Tears can't change anything. What you and he lack most is understanding. It's normal to have conflicts, and breaking up is the worst choice. You and he should both think carefully about why things turned out this way."

"Is what's missing... understanding?" Disaster murmured.

"If you don't support his views or his actions, then show him with your actions that you're not just talking. Instead of criticizing him, take concrete actions. Simply refuting him verbally is useless and will only widen the gap." Zhu Yufeng finished speaking and left.

Disaster and Pardo were completely dumbfounded.

Elysia smiled helplessly and said, "You're just saying that."

Sakura glanced at Disaster, then at Zhu Yufeng's retreating figure, and said nothing.

Anyway, her stance was firm: she was on Feng's side, and she didn't care about anything else.

House Attagina's villa.

"Sister, sister, this is a crown that Brother Adams knitted for me. Isn't it pretty?" The little girl ran from the garden in front of the villa to her sister, who was writing sheet music, and said with sparkling eyes, hoping to get her sister's praise.

Lilith paused in composing the music. She looked tenderly at her sister and said softly, "It is indeed beautiful, Gianna, my dear sister. You are as vibrant and beautiful as these flowers."

As she spoke, she reached out to help Gianna fix her hair, saying, "Yes, you also need to be careful not to run too fast. Look, your hair is all messed up."

Gianna stood obediently in place, waiting for her sister to fix her hair.

Lilith's hands slid down Gianna's hair, resting just beside the little girl's neck.

After a brief pause, Lilith removed her hand and began to braid Gianna's hair. "Gianna, let me braid your hair into a pretty braid."

The girl raised her hand and cheered, "Yay!"

However, he did not notice the shadowy look that flashed in his sister's eyes.
