Each One's Thoughts • Part 1

Kosma looked at everyone sitting in the cabin, his eyes flickering. He wanted to see if they had created a group chat behind his back, but he felt it was inappropriate to directly look at their screens. What if he was wrong?

So Kosma looked down, took out his phone, and texted Kevin: "Kevin, did you guys create another group?"

Kevin looked up at Kosma and nodded.

Kosma: "..."

He continued typing, "Are you saying I can't know about this?"

Kevin glanced at the screen and saw everyone discussing Disaster and Kosma. It seemed that his suggestion to go find Lilith had been intentionally or unintentionally ignored by these people? Oh well, since Feng had clearly stated that he would go find Lilith, he didn't need to say anything more.

Moreover, the matter concerning Kosma and Disaster is still considered a rather important issue.

Kevin replied, "Yes."

Kosma: "..."

(I can't know what happened? Why can't I know? Did Feng do something else? No, judging from Elysia's behavior just now, it seems more like Feng said something that upset Elysia. Hmm... Could it be... that it's a problem between me and Disaster? It's possible. The thing between me and Disaster has indeed attracted everyone's attention. Judging from what Feng said before boarding, he seems to prefer that I resolve this matter myself.)

Thinking of this, Kosma then sent a message to Kevin: "Please let me handle this myself."

Kevin: "Understood."

Kosma: "So please let me join the group."

Kevin glanced at Kosma again and started sending messages in the group. "Kosma thinks this is his own business and should be handled by him, so should we let him join the group?"

Elysia: "Kosma is right~ Just like what Maple thought, but we were just talking about some interesting things between him and Disaster. Wouldn't it be awkward if the people involved came in?"

Pardo: "Amo comes in too, won't that mean we're all isolating Sister Daisy?"

Kevin thought about it for a moment and felt it made sense, so he replied to Kosma, "We're discussing some things from your past, like that harmonica you treasured. Are you sure you want to come in?"

Kosma: "... No need."

He didn't want to go in and be executed.

On the other side, Disaster thought about it for a long time, and finally Zhu Yufeng sent her a message: "Feng, actually, Amo doesn't hate me, right? If I prove my path to Amo, will he come back?"

Then she looked up at Zhu Yufeng and saw that it was Elysia who had taken out Zhu Yufeng's phone to check messages.

Disaster: "..."

Has the relationship between these two progressed to this point?

Elysia handed her phone screen to Zhu Yufeng. Zhu Yufeng glanced at the message on the screen, reached out to take the phone to reply, but Elysia immediately pulled her hand back.

Zhu Yufeng looked at Elysia with a puzzled expression, and Elysia handed the phone to him again.

Zhu Yufeng was only stunned for a moment, but then he understood. So he immediately typed a reply on the screen. Elysia held the phone, and to make it easier for him to type, Elysia inevitably leaned against him...

This is the real you, right, Elysia?

Disaster and Bia were stunned. Kevin had just taken out his phone to tell Elysia not to cause trouble when Su pressed his hand down. Then Su sent him a private message: "Elysia knows her limits. Besides Kevin, interfering too much in other people's relationships can easily backfire."

Kevin thought it made sense, but if Elysia did that, he still felt he should do something. After all, as a staunch Feng-Lilith Faction, he needed to uphold his stance.

It's because Feng himself hasn't made any clear statement.

Sitting on Zhu Yufeng's other side, Pardo's eye twitched. "Sister Elysia, you really are ruthless! And isn't Brother Yu Feng being too indulgent towards Sister Elysia? Speaking of which, after that vacation, Brother Yu Feng and Sister Elysia's relationship did seem to have gotten much closer. But given Sister Elysia Aili's personality, if they really had that kind of relationship, wouldn't Sister Elysia be spreading the Fire Moth with a megaphone?"

So actually, it was Sister Elysia who had Brother Yu Feng under her thumb, right...?

Damn it, she just can't learn those moves!

Sakura glanced at Elysia, who was leaning against Zhu Yufeng, and then sent Elysia a private message: "Elysia, aren't you going too far?"

Elysia took out her phone and saw Sakura's message. Just then, Zhu Yufeng finished typing. She also felt it was better to stop now. Although she also wanted to stay with Feng like this, it wouldn't be good if Kevin was here and about to cause trouble again.

So she sat up straight again.

Then she started teasing Sakura: "Sakura, everyone here except Disaster is a comrade-in-arms who has fought alongside us for a long time. It won't hurt if I lean on you a little longer, right? Could it be... that you also have feelings for Kaede?"

Sakura was taken aback, then replied very calmly, "Yes, but that's not why I messaged you. You know that Disaster doesn't have the memory of the previous time. After that, during her interactions with others, she inevitably revealed some information that caused others to misunderstand your relationship with Maple. This would bother the rest of us, and even Maple."

She wasn't jealous, really not... well, actually she was a little envious...

Elysia squinted at Sakura's reply, and then typed, "Didn't Lilith do the same thing last time?" Why isn't she doing it the same way?

Sakura: "In the previous episode, there weren't many people who explicitly liked Kaede, were there?"

As far as she knew, the only girls in the previous Fire Moth who explicitly expressed and were known to others as liking Zhu Yufeng, besides Lilith and the Vill-V the Wicked, were the only ones that others speculated about: Xila and Michael. She herself only realized her feelings for Zhu Yufeng in this chapter, and even she only found out that Mobius was interested in Mobius Zhu Yufeng in this chapter.

The situation is completely different now.

Right now, aren't people at the base all speculating about who Zhu Yufeng will develop a relationship with?

Elysia thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true. In the previous chapter, the Fire Moth faction overwhelmingly believed that Maple and Lilith were lovers, including Alicia herself.

Okay, I'll refrain from teasing Sakura for now.

But Sakura's reply wasn't over yet, "I admit, I do like Kaede, and I want to stay by his side for longer. But I've never thought about getting a response from Kaede. I just want him to live well this time, so he doesn't have to bear everything alone like he did in his previous life."

Anyway, since it wasn't said in front of Feng, and Elysia wouldn't talk about this everywhere, it's okay if she told Elysia her innermost thoughts like this, right?

Elysia looked at Sakura's reply, thought for a moment, and typed. "That's what we all think."

Sakura did not reply.

Sakura had many reasons for deciding not to get involved in this relationship, but the main reason was actually her slightly inferiority complex. She believed that her feelings for Zhu Yufeng stemmed from Zhu Yufeng taking care of Ling in her place and helping her understand Ling, while she herself didn't have many memorable memories with Zhu Yufeng.

She didn't have the experience of being confessed to by Zhu Yufeng like Elysia, nor did she have the long-term companionship by Feng's side like Lilith, nor did she have the assistance that the Vill-V the Wicked and Mobius had provided to Zhu Yufeng, nor did she have the care that Zhu Yufeng had for Pardo...

She herself didn't know where this feeling came from, although she was quite certain that she had feelings for Zhu Yufeng called "admiration".

Her most profound memory with Zhu Yufeng was the tenth Herrscher incident, when he stepped forward to protect Ling, while she, as his older sister, was unable to arrive in time.

It was precisely because of this reason that she felt inferior to others and that she was not as important to Zhu Yufeng as Elysia and the others. Therefore, she chose to hide her feelings and decided to stand behind Zhu Yufeng, silently watching over him.

Pardo looked thoughtfully at Zhu Yufeng, who was resting with his eyes closed beside her.

Unlike Elysia, she was the last among everyone to meet Zhu Yufeng. No matter how you look at it, she only saw Zhu Yufeng once in the Dusk Street incident after the Seventh Herrscher incident, and she didn't really get to know him until after the Tenth Herrscher incident.

Therefore, compared to Elysia, she lacked some confidence.

Although Pardo didn't know that Elysia had been confessed to by Zhu Yufeng, she had heard from Xila that Elysia had a special meaning to Zhu Yufeng, so... there were things Elysia could do that she might not be able to do.

That's why she worked hard to improve herself so that she could stand beside Zhu Yufeng in a different way.

After learning that Lilith had memories of her previous life and had kissed Zhu Yufeng, Pardo had actually come to terms with it. No matter what choice Zhu Yufeng made in the end, she would stay by Zhu Yufeng side. After all, she was just a mortal. She would take what she could get and not ask for anything she couldn't.

As long as you've tried your best, that's enough.

"Who told us our opponents to be Sister Elysia and Sister Lilith?" Pardo thought to herself with a hint of helplessness. "Oh, and Mobius and Sister Vill-V too."

It's not that the cat isn't trying, but rather that her opponents are basically beyond the definition of normal humans.

Disaster silently looked at Zhu Yufeng's brief reply on the screen, "He never left."

Amidst the apparent silence, everyone returned to the headquarters of the Fire Moth.

As soon as Zhu Yufeng got off the transport plane, he saw Mobius waiting at the exit. Mobius first glanced at Elysia standing next to Zhu Yufeng, then looked at Zhu Yufeng and said, "You come with me. As for Elysia... do whatever you want, just don't come with me."

Elysia tilted her head, about to say something, when Zhu Yufeng looked over. "You still have my phone, right?"

Elysia pouted. "Really, Maple! How come he won't even give her a chance to tease Mobius anymore? He's even learned to manipulate her!" she thought. "I'm unhappy!"

"Then I'll go check out the training grounds~" Elysia thought of a certain honest boy. Sigh, when her Maple was surrounded by wolves, only an honest person could make her feel at ease.

"You remember this mission report..." Zhu Yufeng hadn't finished speaking when he saw Elysia's "I'm so annoyed" expression and immediately changed his words, "Remember to remind me to write it and submit it to the higher-ups."

Elysia nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it.

"Then... Sister Daisy, shall we train together?" Pardo looked at Disaster.

Disaster glanced at Kosma, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm planning to go to the Fifth Research Institute with Su."

"Hmm... Is that so? Then I'll go to the training ground with Sakura-nee and take a look." Pardo looked at Sakura again.

Sakura nodded. "Let's go."

Zhu Yufeng and Mobius arrived at her laboratory. Mobius handed Zhu Yufeng the instructions approved by the higher-ups. "Those old guys have already made their approval and decided to send all those with moderate Corrosion symptoms to me. Tell me, Yu Feng, I don't think you're the kind of person who would back down just because of Disaster's request."

Zhu Yufeng paused for a moment, not answering Mobius's question, but instead took Mobius's hand and examined it. "It seems that your Honkai Energy Corrosion symptoms have almost disappeared. You've had a tough time during this period."

The sudden concern caught Mobius off guard. She quickly coughed to try and calm herself down. "Hmph, Ai Ai, you're being nosy... Don't change the subject. Did Elysia ask you to do this?"

No matter how you look at it, only Elysia can change Yu Feng's mind, right?

"Yes, but not entirely." Zhu Yufeng glanced at the higher-ups' approval. "You could also interpret it as me being moved by something Disaster said. Maybe this time, there really is a way?"

"The quickest treatment I can think of right now is the Super Transformation Slug." Mobius flicked his hair with his bracelet-wearing hand and smiled maliciously. "Anyway, nobody thinks they can survive, so isn't this a good opportunity?"

Zhu Yufeng looked at Mobius's hand, which he was holding and showed no intention of pulling it back, and after a moment of silence said, "Let's... proceed with the normal treatment procedure."

Mobius looked at Zhu Yufeng strangely and asked, "Did Elysia say this too?"

"No, it's my own idea." Zhu Yufeng shook his head. "Like I said before, I want to give it a try."

"But I'm the one doing this," Mobius said, looking at Zhu Yufeng. "This isn't a simple task. Are you... just going to give me a verbal request?"

Zhu Yufeng squinted at Mobius, "How come you've learned this trick too?"

He said, "So, Mobius, what is the payment I need to make?"

Mobius opened his arms. "Then, give me a hug."

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

He knew...
