Elysia Finally Won One Round

"So, you went to the church to see Esmodius afterward?" Elysia asked.

"Hmm." Zhu Yufeng nodded. "At least for now, Esmodius seems normal... She's still in a state of confusion, unsure of what to do or what she should do. Everything she's doing now is based on what her identity as a nun requires her to do."

"Esmodius ... so she's from Dusk Street too..." Elysia nodded thoughtfully. "This is the first time I've heard this information. As far as I know, the only Fallen Angel from Dusk Street are Astaroth and Baal."

"Perhaps it's because their resumes are relatively clean," Zhu Yufeng said. "Abaddon is another one from Dusk Street, but he left Dusk Street early and wandered around outside. He probably joined the European branch after the Fifth Herrscher incident."

"I know that. Abaddon was one of your team members when you were in Europe. After the Seventh Herrscher incident, you were transferred to the Second Division, and he chose to come with you." Elysia said, "Later, with your guarantee, you, Lilith, Abaddon, Xila, Nahamah formed a combat team with you as the captain."

"You seem to know quite a lot about this," Zhu Yufeng, somewhat surprised.

"Ever since you confessed to me, I've kept my promise and been watching over you!" Elysia said, sounding a little aggrieved. "But you don't tell me many things, so how much information can I possibly know on my own?"

Moreover, Lilith admitted that she deliberately didn't want to have more opportunities to understand Feng, intentionally reducing her chances of interacting with him...

This was something Elysia was quite bothered about. If she had been more curious about the side effects of Zhu Yufeng becoming Fusion Warrior, and more insistent on Mobius's obstruction, perhaps... she wouldn't have let him suffer those things alone for so long, while she only found out about it at the very end.

Actually, this can't be blamed on Elysia. Of the original eight Fusion Warriors who underwent the Fusion Warrior surgery, only Kevin experienced extremely severe side effects. Elysia herself, as well as Sakura, Hen, Disaster, Mobius, and others, did not experience any obvious side effects.

At most, the cherry blossoms that grew fox ears might be a bit more serious.

Zhu Yufeng did not undergo any physical changes, nor did he experience any changes in his physical data like Kevin's extremely low body temperature. He simply experienced lower emotional fluctuations. Therefore, before learning the truth, Elysia's assumption was that Zhu Yufeng's side effect was emotional suppression.

Although when she and Mobius talked about this matter again after her rebirth, Mobius also explained that emotional suppression was indeed one of the side effects of Zhu Yufeng's suffering.

"Perhaps... it was precisely this emotional suppression that allowed Yu Feng to ultimately bear the side effects. But it was also because of this emotional suppression that he became more obsessive than anyone else, and no one could make him lose his mind."

That's what Mobius said.

As more and more Honkai Beast merged, Zhu Yufeng's emotional suppression from the monster became increasingly apparent.

However, Lilith also said that Zhu Yufeng talks a lot when the Fallen Angel are on missions or team building activities... In short, they have less and less communication with each other!

Hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮!

"This is indeed my problem..." Zhu Yufeng scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly. When this topic came up, he also felt that many of the conflicts between him and Elysia in his previous life actually stemmed from himself... He viewed Elysia through the lens of a game character, and passively avoided having too much interaction with Elysia...

"I'm not without problems either..." Elysia lowered her eyes.

"So this time, because of the regrets we've left behind, these regrets are strong enough to help us break down that barrier, communicate effectively, and forge a new path different from the past," Zhu Yufeng said with a smile.

Elysia looked up at Zhu Yufeng, and after a while, she laughed and teased him, "Feng, sometimes the things you say really don't fit your persona. It's hard to believe that you could say such things."

"Even if I'm a fool, a fool can still have a stroke of genius." Zhu Yufeng said, squinting. He really thought his emotional intelligence wasn't low, at least it was higher than Kevin's, right?

"Anyway, no matter what you look like, I will always like you and love you." Elysia held Zhu Yufeng's right hand in both of her hands. "In my previous life, I asked Su whether I had met you in other worlds, and Su's answer was no. In this life, after learning about your story, there is something I have always wanted to say to you."

"Hmm?" Zhu Yufeng tilted her head.

Elysia smiled gently, then whispered, "Perhaps, in countless worlds, there are countless versions of me, and I, like them, made the same choice in the end. But, the one who met you is only me, Elysia. I am just like any other ordinary girl; I have someone I like, and I get jealous, angry, and sad for that person, and I also feel joy and shyness for him. In any case, I am the unique Elysia who met you and whose story is intertwined with yours."

Zhu Yufeng was startled, and then he felt his face burning, a rare occurrence for him. It had been so long since he'd felt this way—not the kind of feeling you get when your dark past is exposed and you want to bury yourself in the ground, but rather...

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yufeng raised his left hand and grasped Elysia's hand, smiling as he said, "Me too. Perhaps there are countless people like me in my world, but I am the only one who has met you, fought alongside you, and experienced the journey of chasing fire together."

Around the corner not far away, Pardo looked at Lilith and asked, "Sister Lilith, don't you really have any thoughts on this?"

Lilith glanced at Pardo, shrugged, and said, "It's the most unwise thing to interrupt someone when they're having a romantic moment. Maple and Elysia will have this kind of conversation sometime, why should I interrupt them? Will Elysia interrupt me next time?"

Pardo: "..."

So... Lilith and Sister Elysia have already made a schedule? Just like in Australia, since the two of them are prone to bickering when they meet, they've arranged to spend time alone with Brother Yu Feng at different times... No wonder I haven't seen Sister Elysia getting the short end of the stick with Lilith lately, but instead Sakura and Mobius have started getting the short end of the stick.

"Anyway, in the end, Feng will definitely not be alone." Lilith looked up at the sky. "I won't let go, and Elysia won't let go either, so we can only compromise."

"Oh, right." Lilith seemed to remember something. She looked at Pardo, "Little Pardo, how long have you been a member of the Fire Moth since your rebirth?"

"Uh...it's been almost two years?" Pardo tilted her head and said.

"Have you ever kissed Feng?"

"Huh?!"

"It seems like both Mobius and Vill-V have done this before..."

"... Um, Lilith, Mobius, and Vill-V, and you and Sister Elysia, well... anyway, we're just ordinary people. What you can do, we can't do..."

Pardo wanted to say that none of the four of you were normal, but after thinking about it, she didn't say it.

"Speaking of which..." Lilith took out her phone, tapped a few times, and held it out in front of Pardo, "Your Sister Daisy has already kissed Kosma, aren't you planning to make an effort?"

"Huh? Really?" Pardo looked at the photo on her phone with some surprise. The background should be from the closing ceremony of the Australia Women's Arts Festival. She wondered why she hadn't seen where Sister Amo and Sister Daisy were. Given Sister Daisy and Amo's personalities... could they really be women?

"Wait a minute, Lilith, how did you get this photo?" Pardo looked at Lilith with some confusion after her initial surprise.

Lilith picked up her phone and said casually, "I had some things to take care of at the time, so I went to see Feng and checked on her at the same time. Although I was a little surprised at first, as it was a bit early than I expected for them to officially kiss, it's normal. The atmosphere was right, and they were both young and affectionate. A kiss is just a normal thing."

After that, Lilith's tone became somewhat helpless, and she squinted and complained, "Besides Maple, I can't think of anyone else who would not do something at this time."

Pardo peeked out again, then quickly shrank back. "Um... Sister Lilith, it seems you misspoke this time..."

"After all, Feng has been kissed so many times in this life that he doesn't have as much of a guard up or psychological resistance to this kind of thing as he did in his previous life." Lilith said nonchalantly, "I don't know how many times I arranged this kind of scene in my previous life. In the end... the only time I danced with Feng under the moon was during the confession."

Pardo: "..."

Regarding the incident where Brother Yu Feng was kissed until he was numb, she felt that Sister Lilith and Sister Elysia were more than 90% responsible...

Lilith's face unusually lost its usual playful smile. That being said, this time it might be that Kaede initiated the kiss, which is different from her taking the initiative herself...

Similar to what Elysia said, she had actually said the same thing in her previous life. Although that blockhead understood it back then, he ultimately did nothing. However, she did achieve her goal. From that moment on, she must have truly left a deep mark on his heart.

"Feng, if I hadn't met you, my life would probably have ended sometime between the Seventh Herrscher Incident. Because of you, my story has continued, and I am willing to stay in this world, just because of you."

In order to equalize the extremely high initial favorability that Elysia has with Maple, she has probably exhausted all methods.

Heh... Elysia, you've won a little this time, haven't you? You might not be so happy right now, since there are other people watching you here besides yourself and Pardo.

I'll have to figure out how to get Feng to go to the hot springs again...

Another place.

Kevin put down his binoculars and fell into deep thought. He wondered how long it had been since he'd kissed Mei. Never mind, that's unrealistic... the chances of Mei showing him her underwear in a swimsuit were probably higher than the chances of a kiss...

No, before coming here, Mei told me that next time I should go on a beach vacation with Lilith and Maple, which would mean...

So, Feng Juxing actually took the initiative to A? Isn't Juxing Lilith? Unbelievable! He just happened to see Feng and Elysia talking alone and felt it was necessary to inquire, and then Juxing saw this?

No, he needs to find a way to create some opportunities for Lilith later...

Archbishop Vincent of the Kay Feng-Lilith Faction felt he had to do something.

It is our duty to restore the glory of Maple Leaf!

On the other side, after quietly taking a photo, Hen silently gave a thumbs up, "Great, Feng, you're awesome! Finally, I saw you get to A!"

I'll send this to my wife so she'll give up on the idea of matchmaking Dr. Mobius and Maple. I've already said that it's hard to drive a big car, the age gap is obvious, isn't someone her own age more appealing? It seems that having Maple and Elysia take care of little Griseo will actually work.

On Lilith's side.

"By the way, Lilith, are you the only one who knows that Amo and Sister Daisy have progressed to this stage?" Pardo asked Lilith.

"Oh, this," Lilith, who had been leaning against the wall, straightened up and said as she walked towards the observation post, "Maple and Elysia both know about this. As for the others, I haven't told anyone except you. It's better if as few people as possible know about this, right? After all, this kind of thing is too exciting for that young couple. Didn't you notice that when we were on the plane to fly to the Fire Moth the next day, Kosma didn't dare sit next to Disaster, and Disaster didn't dare speak to Kosma or mention Kosma at all?"

Lilith would have readily shared these things with anyone else, hoping to laugh at them later, but she couldn't help it. Kosma and Disaster were within Zhu Yufeng's sphere of attention, and doing so would lower her favorability, which she didn't want. She told Pardo about it because Pardo and Disaster were closer, so she could say something, and if Pardo accidentally revealed it, she would have an excuse.

However, Pardo probably won't tell anyone.

Pardo: "..."

She initially thought Sister Daisy Amo Amo being slow and unromantic... and these two aren't even daring to hold hands right now... they should just skip to kissing...

Pardo glanced at Lilith's departing figure, then peeked out to look at Zhu Yufeng and Elysia's direction. After thinking for a moment, she decided to follow Lilith.
