"Jiang Qiao, idiot Kiana, Mei nee-san, I've found where Jizo Mitama is. It's at Nagazora City North Station."
Through their personal mobile terminals, commonly known as cell phones, Bronya's signature, emotionless, and adorable voice rang out in the ears of the three people in the chat group, bringing good news that they had not expected.
Kiana was a bit suspicious:
"Really? You little Bronya aren't bluffing, are you?"
Because of their somewhat conflicting relationship, before they set out, she and Bronya had made a bet on who would find Jizo Mitama first.
Now, the white-haired fluffball strongly suspected that Bronya was trying to trick her.
"There's no reason for Bronya to trick the idiot Kiana."
"You're the idiot!"
Kiana, her blue eyes widened and filled with anger, retorted to Bronya through the chat software.
"Good job~ Bronya! We'll be right there! Wait for us!"
Bronya responded to Elysia, but her simple words suddenly changed:
"Hmm...?"
She looked around. A black fog had unknowingly surrounded the area, revealing a dangerous aura.
And the result was that the call with the others was suddenly cut off, with only silence remaining.
"Bronya? Bronya!"
The others instantly realized that something had happened to Bronya after they didn't get a response.
They began to move forward as quickly as possible.
—And at Nagazora City North Station Underground.
Bronya, who was surrounded by fog, subconsciously covered her nose and mouth with her sleeve.
She keenly noticed the source of the fog. That tall figure lurking within.
Through the dim light, she could vaguely see the demonic blood-red eyes and the slightly playful curve of their lips, and also, the iconic donkey ears!
"An enemy?"
Bronya instantly made her judgment. There wasn't a trace of fear in her heart.
LOL, Project Bunny had been reforged in this time.
The reason why she was defeated last time was because she had been surrounded and ambushed.
This time, it was only a single enemy. You can't possibly…
—Thud.
In her utmost confidence, Bronya fell!
Without a moment of sadness for Bronya, the ones who immediately rushed to the scene were—
"Cough, cough, cough, why is it so foggy here?"
Kiana and Mei!
As the ones who were closest, they were the first to arrive to assist her.
Thud. Thud.
Oh dear, it seemed that these two didn't have much combat power!
Okay, now let's invite the last contestant—
Elysia!
"Kiana, Mei? Bronya?!"
The fat woman, who quickly arrived at the scene, was dumbfounded as she looked at her fallen teammates.
Suddenly, she heard a slightly demonic female voice that rang out in her ear:
"Oh my, another one has come. But this one is clearly different from the other three."
"...Are you that donkey ears that Jiang Qiao had mentioned?!"
Although she was very useless, she was at least somewhat experienced in combat. Elysia instantly focused her gaze on the figure who walked out. Her gaze mainly focused on the long pair of ears on her head...
The fat woman's eyes lit up. She subconsciously gulped, wow, she really wanted to tug on those donkey ears!
But, unlike Elysia, who was drooling over her ears, Higokumaru was half-dead from anger after hearing those two words, and cursed:
"Don-donkey ears?!"
"You bastard, these are fox ears!"
"Hmm, fox ears, huh? But you're the type to care about something like that?"
Elysia smiled, and even though it looked a little strange being used on Jiang Qiao's body, she still sized up the enemy who was clearly hostile.
She subconsciously gulped again. Wearing such a lewd shrine maiden outfit, it was to the fairy lady's taste.
But it would obviously be better to bully her after she was defeated.
Knowing this well, in order to avoid the "defeat CG," the fairy lady became somewhat serious.
Ely, I, might have been a bit uneducated and couldn't use my beautiful looks right now.
But there was one thing that she was still good at.
And that was, she had plenty of fighting spirit!
Elysia skillfully used Jiang Qiao's body that had received a hotfix.
I have completely mastered this body! (Confident face)
"Can you tell me what you did to my partners?"
Sensing that Kiana and Mei were still alive, the smiling Elysia tried to get some information out of her.
"Who knows? You can just go keep them company, and you'll know~"
"Do we really have to fight? I really don't want to use violence on such a cute girl~"
"..."
For some reason, Donkey Ears suddenly went silent.
Those crimson eyes stared at Elysia.
She felt… so familiar…
Like she had seen something similar before, something that was incredibly memorable.
But no matter how hard she tried to think, she couldn't recall it.
After all, 50,000 years of being sealed had distorted a part of the consciousness of a certain girl from the past.
"Staring at me like that, so intently. Have you fallen for me?"
Elysia, who had been constantly losing face, finally had a chance to get back to her old tricks. She took advantage of her male body and teased her with a smile.
She was getting irritated from that look!
"Die!"
Not bothering to think too much, Donkey Ears yelled angrily.
"..."
Elysia, who had wanted to say something, was instantly dumbfounded when she saw Project Bunny standing opposite her.
Wait, Project Bunny, why were you on the opposite side?!
She thought she only had to fight Donkey Ears!
Bronya! Bronya, wake up! Why are you just lying there?!
Elysia's wonderful expression made Donkey Ears laugh, and she mocked:
"Haha, are you surprised? It's thanks to your companion that I obtained such a helper~"
Playing with machines in front of the Herrscher of Corruption, LOL.
It was fortunate that the chip in Bronya's head was gone, otherwise, it would be Bronya + Project Bunny vs. Elysia.
Looking at Project Bunny, who had clearly entered full firepower mode, and the arrogant Donkey Ears next to her.
Elysia slowly clenched her fists.
Her fists were getting hard!
"What's so great about a 2v1?!"
"Sorry, a 2v1 is amazing."
"If you're messing around, you have to have the strength and the background to back it up!"
Donkey Ears seemed to like Elysia's expression and continued to push it further with her taunts:
"If you've got the guts, then bring a 2v1 too?"
"..."
She was so pissed off!
It wasn't like she couldn't win. After all, she had Honkai energy. With Honkai energy, she could also barely use the power of Origin, and she was filled with fighting spirit.
She might even win.
But—
She wouldn't take this lying down!
"Help me, Mr. Jiang Qiao!"
