Elysia × Mobius?

Unfortunately.

Mobius did not respond.

She merely shot Cang Xuan and Danzhu a cold look, making the two little ones break out in a cold sweat.

Only then did she say,

"You two, if you have nothing to do, go get food for Bianca and me."

"I-I-I-I-I'll go right away!" Danzhu was quick-witted enough to immediately drag Cang Xuan away.

Bianca, meanwhile, raised a small hand from behind that pile of documents.

"Doctor, when is that junior student I recommended arriving? Haven't the procedures been completed yet?"

"You're getting impatient?" Mobius glanced sideways at her.

Bianca fell silent.

She knew Mobius was in a terrible mood right now.

The main reason really was what Elysia had said: that uploader from the earlier projection kept calling her "Grandma Mobius" every other sentence. Now, whenever Mobius went out, people kept giving her strange looks.

Her blood pressure had truly shot through the roof.

"You..."

"Elysia, what are you here for?"

"..."

As for that pink fat woman before her,

Mobius felt that she disliked her.

With her arms crossed over her chest, she leaned slightly against the lab table and looked at her with disdain.

Yet Elysia seemed as though she had never noticed.

Even now, she was still grinning cheerfully.

"Can't I come see you if I don't have a reason, Doctor?"

"That's so mean~ We're the very best of friends, you know. Don't be so cold!"

"..."

Who was the very best of friends with you?

Mobius stared gloomily at Elysia.

"I want to see you wearing a pink little dress." Elysia clasped her hands together, winked one eye, and gave her a cute little wink.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

"Bianca, see the guest out!" Mobius turned to leave.

But the very next instant, Elysia suddenly threw her arms around Mobius, tightly wrapping herself around her waist and stubbornly refusing to let her go.

As she did so, she wailed,

"Don't be so cold, Doctor! My dear Mobius... just agree to it!"

"You... let go!" Mobius snapped furiously.

But it was useless!

Elysia was the kind of girl who could cry whenever she wanted.

Even if she was only howling without tears, it still made people's hearts ache.

Mobius wavered somewhat, but after glancing at Elysia, she hardened her heart again.

"Let go!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"..."

"There's nothing wrong with me. It's just... I'm leaving soon. Maybe you'll never see me again. Doctor, wouldn't you be sad?" Elysia argued reasonably.

Bianca secretly watched from the side.

"..." Mobius fell silent for a moment.

She sighed. "First, I know you're going to see Kiana, but she's in Canghai City, not far from here. Don't make it sound like a parting of life and death."

"Second, whatever happens to you has nothing to do with me. Even if I died here or jumped out the window, I would never wear some pink dress. Give it up."

"..."

Seeing that even this would not work, Elysia could only pout. She was somewhat depressed, but she still released Mobius and smiled as if nothing had happened.

"Doctor, haven't you always wanted to study me?"

"..."

"Just this once, okay?"

She held up one finger, her index finger slender and pale as a scallion stalk.

Mobius looked at her in surprise.

Had the sun risen in the west?

Before Mobius had learned that Elysia was the Herrscher of Origin,

she had already felt that this woman was very abnormal.

She had wanted to study her.

Yet every time, Elysia had managed to muddle through with jokes and nonsense.

But a few days ago, Elysia had been exposed. Origin—a naturally born Herrscher, the End's fiancée. What incredible research material.

Once again, she had wanted to study Elysia.

But Elysia had still brushed her off.

Who would have thought that now, she had delivered herself right to her door?

Mobius even suspected that this woman was teasing her.

She raised an eyebrow slightly and examined Elysia.

Seeing how calm and sincere she looked, with a faint smile and her arms slightly spread as though welcoming her,

Mobius could not help falling silent.

"Don't make it look like you're heading to the battlefield. Leave some blood, tissue cells, hair, and the like, then get lost."

"That's so mean~ I'm Doctor's precious test subject! Treat me like this, and be careful—if your test subject gets upset, it could affect the experimental results." Elysia followed step for step behind Mobius, puffing out her cheeks as she complained adorably.

Mobius remained unmoved. "Oh? Then go ahead and affect them for me. I'm very interested."

Meanwhile,

over here,

after Kiana's confinement was lifted, she had no desire to go out at all.

She had truly fallen into depravity.

Lazy and useless.

It was only after Carole learned that Kiana was allowed to receive visitors that she came over with Hua.

They went to Kiana's home to visit her.

Only then did Carole and Hua finally realize that the Young Lady was actually like this in private! She used to put on an act sometimes, but now she could not even be bothered to pretend. She was truly willful.

It was worth mentioning that, when Kiana learned Carole and Hua were coming, she had considered changing into something more presentable.

But when the leaders of Shenzhou had previously come to visit and comfort her, she had worn a panda-style hooded pajama set, looking lazy and casual.

Perhaps, in her heart, Carole and Hua were more important than those strangers.

In fact,

many people had already noticed this trait of hers.

Anyone who studied her patiently could have figured it out!

But wasn't that a good thing too?

She valued relationships and cherished old bonds.

Status and wealth meant nothing to her. When she interacted with people, she only followed her preferences.

No one liked an ungrateful wretch.

Someone like Kiana, on the other hand, made people feel more at ease.

If they had not already decided to send Elysia to Kiana for the time being,

some families and higher-ups might already have begun considering whether to select a suitable young woman from among their descendants and send her to Kiana.

For no other reason.

Just to see if they hit it off would have been enough.

Kiana had never disliked this kind of life.

Perhaps some people thought it was not free.

But she had always felt it was fine.

As the videos were released, the reactions became increasingly apparent, fate grew clearer and clearer, and the feedback continued to reach her.

She had already been growing stronger without pause.

Even though she had no opportunities to test it,

that was not a problem.

Simply feeling herself constantly grow stronger was already wonderful enough. As for actual combat, she was not particularly interested in it.

Taking things easy was better.

As the world's little princess,

the world naturally revolved around her, consciously or otherwise.

The privileges of the strong were displayed here in full.

Since she was the one with privileges rather than someone else, naturally no one found it unpleasant.

PS1: Here's the second update. We'll keep it up tomorrow too~~

Elysia Is Here.

After that,

about a day or two passed.

Elysia finally arrived.

"Elysia? Welcome."

The moment Kiana's Mother opened the door and saw Elysia, she greeted her warmly and directly took the suitcase from her hands.

"Come on, come in. Don't be reserved—just treat this place like your own home."

"Thank you, Auntie."

That was right.

Elysia was not merely getting close to Kiana.

She would be living here from now on.

She brought her luggage inside, changed into slippers, and followed behind Kiana's Mother.

Then she heard Kiana's Mother smile and wave a hand. "Why call me Auntie? Call me Mom."

"Mom." Would Elysia be shy? Of course not! This much was nothing.

She was even very happy.
