Miss Fairy Won't Get Jealous! / If You Don't Win Seele Over Soon, It's Plan B!
"Won't Elysia get fat from eating so much?"
Rin looked at Elysia with curiosity.
"Of course not."
Elysia laughed happily, "Sister, I'm not an ordinary human, I'm the kind of... new human blessed by the gods who can eat anything and never gain weight!"
"Ah... that's nice."
Ling looked on with envy and said, "Unlike my sister, who is afraid of gaining weight, she doesn't eat too much of her favorite foods, which makes me suffer along with her."
"Cough cough..."
Sakura quickly coughed and said, "No... Ling Xi, that's not it. I... I'm dieting because I have to work, but... I'm the kind of person who doesn't get fat."
Ling Xi "..."
Come on, there are only two possibilities for girls who say they have a body type that won't gain weight: either they have some kind of medical condition that prevents them from gaining weight, or...
On the surface, she's with you, Battle Royale, drinking milk tea, and enjoying hamburgers and cakes, but behind the scenes, she gets up at 5 a. m. every day to exercise, running 10 kilometers, doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats. And then... she becomes the strongest light...
Ahem, and then you'll find that you're getting fatter and fatter, while the other person still has a perfect figure.
Therefore, in Ling Xi's opinion, Elysia might be sick, while Sakura... is most likely the latter!
"By the way, Sakura, aren't you the Doctor's bodyguard? Don't you have to go to work lately?"
Thinking about Sakura's background, Ling Xi also recalled that Mobius's initial purpose in recruiting Sakura was to protect her own safety, but...
The Doctor is still at the research institute, but Sakura has been staying at home. Doesn't the Doctor need bodyguards anymore?
"Uh... this..."
Sakura shook her head and smiled helplessly, "The Doctor said that I don't need to go to the research institute as long as I don't go far. Also, Rin's situation hasn't been settled yet, so the Doctor asked me to stay home for the time being to take care of everyone."
"There's one more thing."
Elysia added with a smile, "Mobius probably doesn't need any bodyguards right now. After all, he's already seen the strongest bodyguard, Flame-Chasing Moths, and some people have already been exposed. So unless he wants to court death, he won't make a move against your Doctor again."
"Hmm... that seems to be true."
Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully. When recruiting Sakura, it was before the Honkai Changkong City. At that time, he had not yet shown the strength to absolutely crush humanity, which is why Mobius lacked a sense of security. The other party also felt that they could kill Mobius.
However, after the battle in Changkong City, everyone knew that Mobius had someone like himself by his side who was capable of defeating Herrscher, so...
As Elysia said, if they weren't courting death, they probably wouldn't dare to attack Mobius again.
Moreover, the research institute's security forces are more than ten times stronger than those in Changkong City.
"Then why are you staying home too, Elysia? I don't remember you being a captain, right?"
At this point, Ling Xi looked at Elysia with curiosity. Of course, this was definitely not an intention to drive Elysia away; it was just out of curiosity. After all, Elysia was now one of their own, so it was normal to ask about her, right?
"On vacation..."
Elysia shrugged and laughed, "After all, the research institute isn't short of people right now, and didn't you recruit a boy named Kevin? I saw that he seemed quite capable and determined, so I gave him the position. As for me now..."
"Although I am still a member of the Mobius Institute, I am not directly responsible for any work. We'll talk about it when needed."
"Oh oh oh..."
Ling Xi nodded silently, understanding what Elysia meant. But that made sense, since Elysia wasn't an ordinary person. Although her current combat power seemed to be unable to defeat even Temple-class Honkai Beast, she was still considered a very strong existence in the Previous Era.
Furthermore, before I came to the Mobius Lab, the research institute in Changkong City should have been protected by Elysia.
"So, you all have a lot of free time, right?"
After a brief inquiry, Ling Xi learned that the two of them were basically unemployed and staying at home.
This is normal, since the research institutes that Mobius is currently using are only temporarily borrowed, and many projects cannot be carried out. Perhaps research will only officially begin after the new research institute is completed and put into use.
"That's about it, since I can't really help with the research anyway."
Elysia nodded silently. Although she had some knowledge of scientific research, even reaching the level of an average researcher, she was still no match for Mobius and the others. Moreover...
I don't like staying in the lab to do research either; it's too boring and tiring.
Slacking off suits me better.
"Yeah... me too!"
Sakura nodded in agreement. Fighting and such... she could manage on her own, but when it came to doing research, well, forget it!
"Don't worry, me too!"
Ling Xi stood with her hands on her hips, looking quite proud. Although she had been by Mobius's side for almost two months, there was still so much she could do...
Most of the work was just odd jobs, like helping Doctor fill in data, handing out test tubes, or calculating simple results. With my skill level, I could only really call myself a janitor!
As for research level, let alone comparing with the strongest king Mobius, not to mention Senior Sister Klein, even that slacking-off duo could completely crush him.
After all, those two are graduate students, so their basic skills are not bad!
Scientific research always starts from the basics and involves climbing step by step. Unless you are a genius, it takes at least ten or twenty years of relevant accumulation to climb up the ladder!
Clearly, those people in the Mobius lab, and Möbius himself, are geniuses!
Including the twin girls, Ling Xi initially thought that Danzhu Cangxuan were really good-for-nothings, but later she realized that in the entire laboratory, she was truly the only useless person.
"In that case, how about we go out and have some fun today?"
Seeing that everyone had nothing to do, Ling Xi decided to take them out to play. After all, they couldn't stay at home all day, right?
Sakura and I don't really care, but the other three are probably having a hard time. Seele and Rin are one thing, but Elysia is like a dog; she needs to go out for a walk almost every day to feel comfortable.
Chapter 185: The Fairy Girl Won't Get Jealous!
"Yay!"
Agreed!
"Hmm... okay."
Following Ling Xi's words, Seele and Ling were the first to agree, while Ying hesitated for a moment before also agreeing, as she wanted to buy some ingredients while she was at it.
"I won't go."
Finally, Elysia simply sat down on the sofa, too lazy to move, stretching and yawning, and rolled her eyes at Ling Xi. "Rather than going out, I'd rather go back to my room and get some sleep. I was really exhausted last night..."
"Forehead..."
Hearing Elysia's answer, Ling Xi felt a little embarrassed, after all, Elysia's current state was entirely due to her own efforts!
Furthermore, Ling Xi knew very well last night that Elysia was truly experiencing her first awakening, yet instead of taking good care of her, he bullied her in various ways, so...
It's perfectly understandable that Elysia is so tired today and doesn't want to go out.
Ling Xi immediately realized that her suggestion to go out and have fun was a bit silly, after all...
Knowing that Elysia might be a little inconvenienced today, he still suggested going out to play. But, he couldn't possibly take the other three out and leave Elysia at home, could he? If he did that... do you think Elysia would be angry?
Of course, it's not just a matter of whether Elysia will be angry; the key issue is that he can't do something like this. After all, he just made her his wife last night, and now he's leaving her at home the next day while he goes out with other girls...
"Well... Seele, Bell, how about we go tomorrow?"
At this point, Ling Xi had no choice but to postpone it to another day. She would let Elysia rest well tonight, and she should be almost fully recovered by tomorrow. Then, going out together again shouldn't be a problem.
"But I have to go to school tomorrow."
Hearing Ling Xi say "another day," Ling seemed a little reluctant, and said sadly, "Sister can play at home by herself then, but I'll have to go to school and suffer, boohoo... it's so sad!"
"Ring, don't worry, because I'm the same."
Seele patted Bell on the shoulder and said with a hint of sympathy, "Dr. Mobius has arranged a new school for me. I can go to report tomorrow. However, it seems to be quite far from our home. It seems to take half an hour to drive there."
"Really... I'm fine then."
Hearing Seele's words, Ling seemed to be comforted a little and said, "My school is only a five-minute drive from home, and it only takes three subway stops."
"I need at least twenty stops..."
Speaking of this, Seele's face immediately fell. However, she also knew that Ling was only in elementary school, so finding a school was easy, while she was in high school, but good high schools were relatively rare, so it was normal for her to be farther from home. But...
I understand the logic, but I'm still really annoyed.
"Won't Seele get boarding school soon?"
Elysia looked at Seele with a smile and said, "If Ling Xi drives you around every day, it will take an hour round trip. If you take the subway by yourself, the time will at least double. It seems that you might have to get up at six in the morning, and in the afternoon..."
After a moment's thought, Elysia smiled and said, "Assuming school ends at 5:30, you won't be home until at least 7:00."
"Waaaaah..."
Seele rubbed her forehead sadly and said, "I've already arranged to live at school, but it's the kind where you can commute. Even if it's not the weekend, I can go home anytime. It's just... sigh, it's a bit far."
"It's okay, Seele. If you want to go home, I'll pick you up every day from now on."
Ling Xi also laughed and said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do lately, so I should be able to pick you up early after school in the afternoon. That way, we'll get home by six o'clock at the latest. If I'm really busy one day, you can just take a taxi, it's not expensive anyway."
Seele "..."
Taking a taxi from here to school would cost at least three figures. If I were to make that round trip every day, that would be my food expenses for a week in Changkong City.
"Ling Xi, I want to go out and play..."
However, Seele didn't want to talk about picking her up from school right now. She just wanted Ling Xi to take her out for one more day before school officially started, since the next time wouldn't be until the weekend.
So, Seele gently hugged Ling Xi's arm, as if to say, "I won't let go until you agree."
Ling Xi "..."
"Ling Xi, I want to go out and play too!"
After Seele, Ling also hugged her. After all, she was also a poor girl who had to go to school tomorrow, so... she had to play to her heart's content today.
"By the way, we haven't bought our schoolbags and stationery yet. We can go out today and buy them on the way."
Seele suddenly came up with a very suitable reason: she was going to school tomorrow, but she hadn't bought a suitcase or any stationery yet, and she couldn't very well refuse.
"Me too!"
Ling nodded decisively.
"Stop it, I already bought your stationery..."
Ling Xi was speechless. Ying had bought all of this girl's stationery on her very first day in the Mu Continent. She was practically her older sister!
"I want a new one..."
Ling pursed her lips, determined not to give up easily today, no matter what.
"Hehe... Ling Xi, I think you should take them out to play instead."
Finally, Elysia spoke up with a smile, "If you don't take them out to play, I think they'll be distracted at school tomorrow, and that's not right of you."
"Huh? But it's Elysia..."
Ling Xi was a little surprised that Elysia would say that.
"Oh, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Elysia smiled at Ling Xi and spread her hands, saying, "I don't want to go out today, so you can take them out to play. We can go out alone another day, while these two are at school."
Seele "..."
Bell"..."
Cherry"???"
"Okay, thanks, Elysia..."
Although Ling Xi was a little surprised by Elysia's attitude, she could still tell that Elysia didn't seem unhappy about the matter, at least... that's how it appeared on the surface.
However, it seems that since he met Elysia, this girl has never been angry. Even if she occasionally pretends to be angry in front of him, it's just an act.
All I can say is that this is Elysia. Her appearance, personality, and how she feels when you're with her are all perfect.
It seems that what I was worried about won't happen. Perhaps... it's because the fairy lady won't be jealous.
Chapter 186: If we don't win Seele over soon, we'll have to resort to Plan B!
After spending a wonderful day playing with Seele and the others, they finally went home satisfied and rested, looking forward to tomorrow...
The next morning, Ling Xi helped Seele move her luggage into the car and prepared to take her to school. As for whether Seele would come back that night, that was something to be discussed later.
