After finishing Kosma's memory, everyone exchanged glances.
Mei covered her rising smile, "Kosma… you…"
Aponia spoke softly, "Ah… this is indeed very much Elysia's style."
Kosma clenched his fists, his face completely flushed as he lowered his head, unable to meet anyone's gaze, "..."
-----------------------
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Kosma to like this move so much. I thought you weren't interested at all~ If I had known, I would've come to you first."
Elysia couldn't help but laugh, then scratched her cheek and sighed,
"But it also reminded me of something. I originally planned to turn this move into an 'MOTH' etiquette and promote it throughout the entire Fire Moth organization."
"But someone persuaded me to give up on it. What a pity."
Mei, "That mysterious man, right?"
Elysia smiled charmingly, clapped her hands, and said, "Bingo, as expected of Mei, but there's no reward~"
She spread her hands helplessly, "Clearly, he was the one who started it~ But then he said it was a waste of time and effort. So annoying!"
"Though he's not wrong. It took several months just to teach Pardofelis..."
Mei complained, "…Is there a possibility that she simply didn't want to learn?"
Elysia smiled calmly, "How could that be? You heard Kosma's thoughts, didn't you?"
Kosma, who had been lowering his head and trying to reduce his presence on the side, couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile bitterly when Elysia mentioned him again, "..."
"…Can we change the topic?"
Aponia chuckled knowingly, "Haha, this reminds me of some children's games."
The crisp voice of Fairy Ellie appeared again as she flew to Aponia's side and said, "Does this sister also want to experience the power of the fairy? You must accept my sincerity properly~"
"Hmm~ Sure. In reality, I do this quite often too..."
"…Hmm?"
The moment Aponia's fingertip touched the typewriter keys, a fleeting yet imperceptible trace of surprise flashed between her brows.
That moment of loss passed in an instant as the typewriter slowly spat out a piece of paper.
Griseo tiptoed curiously but still couldn't see the contents recorded on the document.
Griseo, "Aponia-mama, what does the file say?"
Aponia sighed sentimentally, "Ah... how should I put it..."
"Hehe, it's truly nostalgic. A... childish past, but it doesn't seem suitable for children to see."
Griseo put her hands on her hips, looked at the equally curious Kosma, and said, "Then... Kosma can't look either."
Kosma, "..."
Mei, ".....?"
"...Cool."
Fu Lin's voice suddenly came from the side, drawing everyone's attention. Only Kosma had a dark expression and slowly lowered his head.
Fu Lin took off his eyepatch and handed it to Kosma, the corner of his mouth curving up, "Kosma, together?"
Kosma, "....." No.
Aponia withdrew her gaze and gently said to Griseo, "Griseo, do you want to go somewhere else to sketch? I just found a place with a beautiful view."
Griseo nodded sensibly, then turned to Kosma and invited, "Mm~ Sure. I also want to take a walk."
"Kosma, do you want to come?"
Kosma shook his head, declining Griseo's invitation, but still reminded her, "…You go ahead. Be careful."
Griseo looked toward Fu Lin, who was in the corner, then walked lightly over, squatted beside him, and blinked her clear and innocent eyes at the circles drawn on the ground.
Then, she reached out her slender little hand and took off Fu Lin's earmuffs, hesitating as she asked, "Um... Uncle Fu Lin, are you coming?"
Fu Lin tossed the eyepatch and earmuffs to Elysia, then excitedly held Griseo's hand, "Sure, sure."
Kosma scratched his head looked at Aponia, Fu Lin and Griseo, "…" There's something I want to investigate.
Upon seeing Kosma look at her, Aponia softly said, "Kosma, you should also be careful."
Kosma, "..."
Elysia looked at Mei, spread her hands, and sighed, "Ah, everyone left."
"The typewriter is fixed... So, Mei, should we go back too?"
Mei looked at Fu Lin's departing figure, raised her hand as if wanting to stop him, but the situation in front of her was also important. In the end, torn between the two, she glared at Elysia.
Elysia smiled without speaking, quietly watching Mei, who was caught in her dilemma, as unknown thoughts crossed her mind.
Mei crossed her arms and urged, "Let's go. I don't want to waste any more time."
