Kyoko: Looks like you're actually handling things. Good, if you're busy, I can take a trip there. My hands are itching.
Seeing Kyoko's group message, Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Hu Tao and Yunyun couldn't go for the time being, there was still a red-haired one in the group besides him.
Although the scene of a magical girl fighting an attack helicopter was extremely novel, there was no doubt about the red-haired one's strength.
Jiang Qiao: Then, I'll leave Elysia's side to you. I'll treat you to a meal when I have the time.
Kyoko: I'll remember that! Don't you even think about weaseling out!
At that, the chat group fell silent.
Although he was a little worried about Elysia's situation, he obviously needed to deal with his current situation first.
Knowing this, Jiang Qiao's face showed a bright smile like that of a young girl as he looked at Mobius across from him.
"Stop smiling like that. Elysia, do you understand your current situation?"
"Of course, my dear Dr. Mobius. But the things that needed to be said, I should have already submitted them in the written report, right?"
"Do you think anyone would believe something like that?"
Mobius's face didn't look too good. She pressed down on the written report on the table and pointed at it: "Remotely killing the Herrscher of the Void with a single arrow?"
"Although I don't think much of those fools and mediocrities above, even the Honkai energy fission bombs that were deployed in advance couldn't hurt the Second Herrscher at all. And you... you say you killed the Second Herrscher with a single arrow?"
"Well, was there anyone else present at the scene? Dr. Mobius, you should have read the report on the Second Herrscher's body, right? I think that probably didn't have any issues."
Jiang Qiao was confident that his cleanup work was done perfectly.
Whether it was the battle traces at the scene or the wounds on the Second Herrscher's body, they were all meticulously created by him.
Even Mobius wouldn't be able to see any problems.
The only problem might have been that it was too perfect, and this was why Mobius had her eye on him.
The reports that Jiang Qiao had submitted, the traces at the scene, and everything about the Second Herrscher were too logical. Adding that to the somewhat magical battle process, the very suspicious snake-woman felt that Elysia must have hidden something.
But she didn't have any proof.
Moreover, Elysia was different from Veliona later.
The latter was an enemy of Fire Moth, and the former, now that the accomplishments were confirmed, could immediately become a hero of Fire Moth and a model for humans fighting against the Honkai. She was not something a certain clown hero could be compared to.
Although the fact that a Herrscher was a model for humans fighting against the Honkai was very dramatic, with the special nature of the Herrscher of Origin, the current Fire Moth would never be able to discover Jiang Qiao's true identity.
For [Elysia], her achievements in the Second Honkai Eruption were extremely important. It was related to how much power she had within the organization.
And in Jiang Qiao's eyes, this was also the case.
As long as he obtained this title and smoothed out the relationship with the Fire Moth Big Three, then, he wouldn't even need to wait until the later stages of the Previous Era. Jiang Qiao could immediately start a coup in the Previous Era and make Dr. MEI take the throne!
With the most powerful brain of the Previous Era combined with the [Elysia] administrator account, the Honkai was nothing to worry about.
Even the Cocoon couldn't withstand their own daughter acting as an inside agent and betraying it!
While Jiang Qiao was handling Mobius while thinking about how to deal with the Previous Era,
In the ME Corp Anti-Entropy underground base, 50,000 years later.
"Yo, so you're Elysia?"
Sakura Kyoko, who was wearing casual clothes, was carrying a bag full of food and was examining the battered and fleeing Elysia.
"?!"
The equally flustered Kiana and Mei were both confused.
Wasn't it Jiang Qiao? Who was Elysia?
Elysia, whose true name had been revealed, couldn't help but correct her while dodging:
"It's Jiang Qiao!"
"Is it? Well, it doesn't really matter."
Kyoko Sakura didn't pay attention to the fact that Elysia and Jiang Qiao had switched bodies. She didn't care about that either.
Kiana, who had some free time, asked suspiciously:
"This girl, is she your backup too?"
"She doesn't look like she could fight any better than me."
Looking at Kyoko's thin arms and legs, Kiana felt like she could take on ten redheads.
"Uh..."
Elysia was also a bit hesitant.
Jiang Qiao knew the strength of everyone in the group, but she didn't know.
Honestly, she was worried about whether there would be any problems when Yunyun had appeared earlier.
She didn't really know how strong Kyoko was. She only knew that she seemed to be a magical girl.
The white-haired fluffball's comment obviously angered the very competitive redhead. Her face darkened,
"Huh? You've got a lot of nerve!"
"Don't look down on people!"
With a yell, a burst of energy swept out, and along with the red light, Kyoko Sakura changed her appearance completely. Her casual clothes turned into her magical girl outfit.
"Wow!"
Elysia's eyes sparkled. If the helicopter wasn't chasing her, she would have definitely wanted to touch it, with her personality.
However, she didn't forget to introduce Sakura to the dumbfounded Mei and Kiana:
"That's Sakura Kyoko, a magical girl."
"?!?"
As expected, this information immediately bewildered the two of them.
What?
A magical girl?
Who was this person?
Okay, a mage had appeared earlier, so it wasn't strange that a magical girl was appearing now.
But,
Did magical girls use guns?
Mei, who was looking at the red-haired girl with a single ponytail and a long spear, couldn't connect her with the magical girls she saw on TV.
Magical girls were supposed to be holding wands and firing magic cannons, weren't they?
I can't really recognize this kind of magical girl!
Sensing the two's rude gazes, Kyoko glared at them, and snorted:
"Hmph, I'll deal with you later."
"Jiang Qiao, right? You take these two dunderheads and keep moving forward. I'll handle this big guy!"
Kyoko struck the ground with her spear, and the magical barrier that was emanating magic blocked the RPC's electromagnetic missiles.
Elysia, who was hiding behind her, asked with some concern:
"Is that okay?"
"Hmph, who do you think I am? You three would just be a hindrance here! Get moving!"
The red-haired girl, who was looked down upon, snorted unhappily, urging the three to leave.
—As the result of the Incubator's civilization's cutting-edge technology, the magical girls' fighting power was extremely high.
Although their opponent wasn't the usual witches, but a technological product which caused the redhead to not be very used to it, Kyoko was, in herself, a magical girl with a lot of battle experience.
Her fighting strength was at least at the level of Tesla.
A weakling, rabbit-suited fairy with almost no arrows? A Kiana who was almost out of bullets, who was close to charging with her baseball bat? And a Mei who couldn't fly?
With these three people at her side, they could only watch. It was better to go ahead and find trouble with Cocolia first.
Kiana was naturally somewhat annoyed by the mockery.
Who was the one being called a hindrance? Who?!
She had at least made a few holes in that thing, hadn't she?
She was annoyed, but there was no way around it.
She couldn't just stay here and watch the redhead fight, could she?
Then, she would just be there to provide atmosphere.
Not wanting to lose face, Elysia and her group finally left for the deepest part of the underground base—the base's central area.
That was also where Cocolia was located!
