To have to ask someone else how to use one's own body. What kind of ridiculous thing was that?
But, at this moment, it had indeed happened.
If this was a different setting, then what would come next would probably be a six-episode long hypnosis series, oh...no, that's not right. The correct term should be a pink fatty special!
Looking at the pink girl, who was nervous and avoiding eye contact, after letting out a sigh, he revealed a smile that the former knew so well. Soft words rang out in the fairy-like girl's ear:
"Elysia, you will never need to understand that."
"You..."
Elysia seemed like she wanted to say something, but the former held up a finger and placed it before her lips.
This slightly intimate scene caused her to back down a little, but the youth's clear, sincere eyes didn't move away.
After a few breaths, she turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
"Seriously, if you say things like that, it'll be hard to tell who the real Elysia is, you know?"
"You need to be responsible for saying things like that to a beautiful girl, okay!"
The chubby lady, whose ears had turned slightly red, said irritably.
"And besides, is that really alright?"
Some say that the eyes are the medium of the heart.
And in this short gaze, these two seemed to have conveyed a lot of information that they wouldn't have expected before.
If she had to say it, then this was probably the understanding between "Elysia" and [Elysia]?
"Of course. As long as you want, I can do it!"
The youth named Jiang Qiao smiled and spread his palm.
There was nothing there, but he was extremely confident.
"Hmm, the time I have left isn't a lot... Switching back like this was unexpected."
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to borrow your body again for the time being, okay?"
"Can you, give me your body?"
His soft words made the chubby lady glare at him.
"It's very rude to say such a request to a girl! Of course, since you're being so sincere, how can a beautiful girl refuse?"
"However...you haven't become addicted to being a beautiful girl, have you? No, you can't! Although it's great to be a boy, I don't want to keep being one forever!"
While joking, after a brief moment of contact, the two's gazes shifted.
"Of course~ That's impossible! It's just the influence of the body, I don't have those kinds of hobbies."
Jiang Qiao tapped his forehead lightly with his index finger. He, who had become [Elysia] again, smiled with a hint of helplessness.
Choosing to become the chubby lady once again was just something he had to do!
It wasn't because he liked it, but it was because if he wanted to crush the Previous Era, he needed to use this body of a born Herrscher!
Moreover, to deal with two small problems, he had to use the genuine Herrscher of Origin.
Although he had obtained some of the authority of Origin due to compatibility and other reasons,
As he had said before, those were just "small copies." They weren't complete!
Only when he used Elysia's body again could he use the full power of the Herrscher of Origin as Elysia!
It was like the configuration of a computer.
Elysia's body had already been configured with the authority of Origin. Although Jiang Qiao, as a CPU, was very powerful, until his body had been configured, he had to be inside [Elysia]'s hardware to be able to use his full potential.
"I don't have much time left. So… Raiden Mei, and Kiana Kaslana, in this remaining time, can we have a good chat?"
The smiling pink girl looked towards the door, at the two figures who were trying to hide their presence, who were a bit flustered.
They had been discovered!
"Seriously, eavesdropping on other people's conversation is a very bad thing!"
Elysia, who was on the side, watched as her body made a helpless expression, as if she was a young girl. Although she had experienced it before, and had even been mocked to the point that she had lost her mind.
Still, she couldn't help but have the urge to ask that question—
Why are you so good at this?!
Kiana and Mei, who had been caught, came out awkwardly.
Because they were very curious about what was going on with those two, they had come over to eavesdrop.
Of course, it was Kiana's idea.
Mei had originally disagreed, but Kiana's words were like the whispers of the devil.
In the end, she had been defeated by her curiosity and had done something so immoral (sad).
Unfortunately, they had come too late and hadn't heard much useful information.
Not to mention that they had been caught by Jiang Qiao before they had listened for very long.
"Okay, don't make those faces. Curiosity is human nature. I forgive you guys~"
"Back to the topic—"
"Oh dear, I almost forgot to introduce myself!"
The pink girl suddenly clapped her hands, revealing a frustrated expression. But quickly, that frustration turned into a smile:
"But it doesn't matter. The prologue to our story can start now. You won't mind, right?"
The changes that occurred in that brief moment perfectly showcased a girl's attitude, making Elysia, who was on the side, dumbfounded.
"So, first, let me introduce myself. My name is [Elysia], a beautiful girl who is as mysterious as a fairy, and as brilliant as flying flowers…"
Enough already!
Everyone could hear the sound of the chubby lady's teeth grinding at this point.
Oh fairy lady, I'm already grinding my teeth because of you!
"Ahem, let me also introduce the person next to me. His name is [Jiang Qiao], and as you can see, he is a very handsome and cool guy?"
"Tsk, he's clearly a scumbag!"
The white-haired fluffball muttered softly. Hearing that, Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow.
He glanced at Elysia.
Okay, okay, you're ruining my reputation while I'm gone, huh?
I'll remember this grudge!
"Because of some special reasons, he and I swapped bodies. I think you guys must have seen something similar in the movies, right?"
"Huh? Really?"
Kiana exclaimed in surprise.
Although she had wandered around for many years, she had still watched many similar movies.
But she had never thought that it would actually happen in front of her.
"There's no need to be so surprised. You've seen a mage and a magical girl before, right?"
"...So, the one who was with us all this time was a fake Jiang Qiao?"
Compared to the surprised Kiana, Mei was also surprised, but she was more concerned about the information that Jiang Qiao was revealing.
"That's right."
Looking at the pink girl, who had honestly admitted to it, Mei, who was a bit confused, looked at the [Elysia] who smelled even more like Jiang Qiao than the Jiang Qiao who had been with her. Unable to distinguish them, she asked a question that was a game changer:
"Then, that means… you're the real Elysia?"
At that moment, Elysia cried.
