Do you even understand Jiang Qiao?
When Mei asked this question, Elysia, who was fantasizing about torturing Jiang Qiao's beautiful future, suddenly realized something. She… didn't seem to understand Jiang Qiao at all!
Compared to that jerk, who had imitated her so perfectly that it was as if he had seen through her completely, the chubby lady's knowledge of Jiang Qiao couldn't be described as not understanding at all. It was more like… uhhh, umm.
Most of her interactions with Jiang Qiao, besides meeting him face-to-face when he was still here, had mostly been in the chat group.
That jerk seemed to be a very gentle person?
Recalling her conversations with Jiang Qiao, it seemed like the most accurate description that Elysia could come up with was only this.
"Yikes!"
Elysia immediately covered her head.
Oh no, she didn't even know what kind of personality that jerk had, so how could she imitate him?
At that moment, the chubby lady felt a sense of defeat.
The fairy lady's grand plan to get revenge on Jiang Qiao seemed to have been aborted before it had even started (sad).
Thinking of this, Elysia sighed, and looked at Mei, who had shattered her fantasy:
"Mei, you really are good at hurting others… or is it that, Mei, you're just targeting me? If you are, I'm really going to cry!"
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Mei, who was being stared at resentfully, quickly apologized. Could she say that she really didn't do it on purpose?
It was all a coincidence, a coincidence.
It definitely wasn't because she wanted to see the chubby lady break down!
Mei, I'm an honest person with a good heart!
"Seriously, I wasn't trying to blame you or anything~"
"Uh… that."
"What's wrong?"
"You acting like that, and talking like that, it's really weird."
Mei, after hesitating for a while, finally spoke what was on her mind.
It had been fine before because she had only seen Jiang Qiao.
But after seeing [Elysia], and the chubby ship being piloted by Jiang Qiao, and then seeing the Jiang Qiao ship being piloted by Elysia, Mei couldn't help but feel a bit strange.
It wasn't like there was anything wrong with it. After all, Jiang Qiao was very handsome. Even if Elysia acted like a girl, his looks could make it work, but as someone who knew the truth… it was just too weird!
"Hmm...it does feel a bit off, huh? I think so too. If it's [Jiang Qiao], then he should act more like a boy, right? But what would boys do?"
After some serious thought, the chubby lady suddenly had a brilliant idea. "I've got it~"
"..."
Looking at Elysia's dangerous gaze, Mei felt as though a huge "danger" sign was above her head.
Just as the former started to get closer, and the latter moved back in fear, an angry voice rang out in their ears:
"You!"
It was Kiana!
Of course, it wasn't like she had caught them in the act, Kiana wasn't here.
But—
That white-haired fluffball had obviously run into some kind of trouble!
Elysia and Mei immediately ended their "playing around" and went to where Kiana's voice had come from, the front door of the Raiden Residence, as quickly as possible.
There, an angry Kiana was confronting someone.
The short stature, the signature twin drills, the silver hair, and that expressionless, cold face.
It was Bronya Zaychik!
...
50,000 years ago, at the Fire Moth base. Because of the outstanding achievements of defeating the Second Herrscher, needless to say, Fire Moth naturally held a celebration banquet.
As the protagonist of this banquet, [Elysia] naturally couldn't be absent.
"Elysia, I haven't seen that outfit of yours before."
A young woman with sky-blue hair came to Jiang Qiao, a hint of surprise in her voice.
Based on her tone, the person who came was an acquaintance of Elysia.
And as she looked her over, [Elysia] was wearing a gorgeous evening gown she had never seen before.
The pink girl didn't mind the other person's gaze. Instead, she smiled and twirled the silk sleeve, and said, showing off:
"Since there's a celebration banquet, I just bought it. How is it? Is it pretty, Blanca?"
Jiang Qiao easily called out the other person's name, even though he had never actually met her.
It went without saying, he had deduced it based on her hair color.
And besides, didn't Blanca look like a larger version of Griseo?
"If it's you, Elysia, then of course you look beautiful in anything."
"But you really did something incredible, you know. I heard you single-handedly defeated the Second Herrscher."
Just like her appearance, Blanca was a very gentle woman. Her voice was soft.
"It was just luck."
After the little mishap last time, the current Jiang Qiao was very experienced at playing Elysia. Even Blanca, who was even more familiar with Elysia than Kevin, couldn't find any flaws. He responded humbly, and asked casually:
"Where's Dr. Mobius?"
"Sigh, you know her personality."
When Mobius was mentioned, a look of helplessness appeared on Blanca's face, which originally held a smile.
That doctor's personality was always unsociable, and had always avoided these kind of lively atmospheres.
She tried to imitate Mobius:
"—No one would want me to be there anyway, right? If that's the case, then I might as well grant them their wish."
"That does sound like something Dr. Mobius would say~"
Jiang Qiao wasn't surprised.
Mobius' bad popularity wasn't due to things that had piled up over time, but rather, from the beginning, everyone in Fire Moth had been wary and afraid of this cold and indifferent snake-like colleague.
"If possible, I still hope that the doctor can be more active, it really worries me that she always stays in the lab, I'm worried about her health."
As Mobius' assistant, Blanca worried a lot about her unreliable doctor.
"Hmm~ She will~"
"By the way, how is your progress with Kevin?"
Caring about other people's gossip, that was something Elysia would do, right? Jiang Qiao smiled and did something that Elysia would do.
"Seriously, how could you say that out loud?"
When she was asked this question, Blanca clearly became a little shy, and glared at Elysia.
"Haha~ I'm sorry, I have to excuse myself for a bit."
"? Where are you going? The banquet is about to start."
Facing Blanca's confusion, Jiang Qiao said with a smile:
"It's okay, I just remembered that I have to go do something. Have fun, Blanca~"
