Mobius spoke very gently, one hand lightly brushing over White Night's cheek. "Little White Mouse, your mental state hasn't been very good lately. Have you considered taking a little break~?"
"Doctor..."
"Still calling me Doctor?"
Mobius spoke softly, pinching White Night's cheek with one hand and giving it a slight squeeze.
"Mm... Snakey..."
"That's more like it, my Little White Mouse~"
As she spoke, Mobius swept aside her emerald hair with one hand and elegantly tucked it behind her ear before leaning down toward White Night... This was a rare display of gentleness from Mobius.
Did This Count as a Date?
Over the following days, White Night had been avoiding Elysia, so he had no idea that... the related experiments seemed to have slowed down considerably.
"White Night!"
But no matter how much he hid, he was eventually caught. Elysia called out to White Night and quickly caught up to him. "Where are you trying to run off to this time? It's not good to keep avoiding people, you know~?"
"Alright, alright. We have some free time these next few days, so how about we go see Seele?"
Without giving White Night a chance to speak, Elysia took the lead in setting the itinerary. "You can't stay cooped up in the lab all the time. You need to go out and relax once in a while~?"
"Mm, you definitely can't bear to refuse adorable little me, right~?" Elysia clasped her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly, her voice as lively as ever.
"...Alright."
After a brief silence, White Night finally nodded and agreed.
The appointed day arrived.
"Hurry up, White Night. You can't make a girl wait too long~?" Elysia wore a simple yet lovely casual outfit, and her infectious smile repeatedly drew the gazes of passersby.
