"Blanka, is Dr. Mobius in?"
A cheerful and sweet girl's voice could be faintly heard, but Mobius only found it annoying.
This morning, when she opened her wardrobe, she saw clothes that clearly didn't belong to her—a maid outfit.
She didn't even need to think to know who was responsible.
That annoying person, even though she had specifically changed to a high-security lock, how did Elysia sneak in?
The puzzling question didn't stop Mobius from what she was doing.
But the approaching footsteps made the usually calm doctor's expressionless brow slowly furrow.
Finally, Mobius turned her head and glared at the pink-haired girl approaching her with catlike steps, saying with great displeasure:
"Blanka, didn't I tell you not to let this person in?!"
Blanka, who followed in from outside, showed an embarrassed expression.
"Really, to actually add a rule to the access control list—'Elysia is not allowed to enter'—to treat a beautiful girl like this, I'm going to cry."
"Dr. Mobius is really mean, don't you think so, Blanka?"
The girl pouted, her cheeks puffed out, looking very dissatisfied. She pulled Blanka to her side, and the latter showed a helpless expression.
If she agreed, who knows, maybe tomorrow she would be fired by Dr. Mobius for stepping into the lab with her left foot first!
Blanka could only smile and say:
"You guys talk, I'll go out for some air."
After she left, Mobius, without stopping her work, stared intently at the data sheet in her hand and said:
"Speak, what do you want?"
"Eh, in your eyes, Mobius, am I the type to only look for you when I need something? You're thinking too much of me~"
"If that's all you have to say, you can leave now."
Mobius's tone was blunt, even with a hint of disdain.
This annoying woman, in her eyes, wasn't even as good as those who only sought her out for help.
At least after dealing with those people, she could continue her experiments in peace.
With Elysia… Mobius only needed to consider how to get this annoying fairy out of her domain.
Although he really wanted to tease the cute Dr. Mobius, Jiang Qiao still remembered what he had to do. It wouldn't be good if he maxed out Mobius's anger bar and got kicked out of the lab.
"Alright, alright~ I do have something to ask you today."
"I want—information on Chrysalis Cocoon."
When the words "Chrysalis" were uttered by the smiling girl, Mobius's sharp snake-like eyes fixed on Elysia, and even her hands stopped moving.
Unlike Fire Moth, Chrysalis was a special assassination organization that belonged to, yet was largely independent of, Fire Moth. Its main function, just like its nature, was to serve as the higher-ups' gloves.
Eliminating Fire Moth defectors, and eliminating targets deemed dangerous by the Fire Moth higher-ups.
As one of the founders of Fire Moth and a high-ranking member, Mobius naturally knew about this department and even later became its supreme commander.
But for the early, current Fire Moth, Chrysalis was a top-secret department known only to a few.
"What do you want that for? Don't tell me you want to join Chrysalis."
Mobius didn't ask how Jiang Qiao knew about Chrysalis. With Elysia's title as Fire Moth's social butterfly, as long as it was information circulating within the organization, there were no secrets if Elysia wanted to investigate. In this respect, she even surpassed the self-proclaimed Fire Moth know-it-all, Erwin.
She was only concerned about why Jiang Qiao wanted information on Chrysalis.
Logically, as a Fire Moth warrior, Elysia shouldn't have any interest in Chrysalis.
"Hmm~ Curiosity, perhaps? Wanting to get to know the cute girls in Chrysalis?"
The girl smiled, resting her chin on her hand and blinking. But her tone was uncertain, as if it was a hastily made-up excuse.
"..."
If anyone else said this, Mobius would immediately send them to the operating table.
Wanting to get to know the cute girls in Chrysalis?
Chrysalis was an assassination organization, where would there be… wait, there seemed to be quite a few.
But in any case, wanting to obtain information on an assassination organization like Chrysalis just to meet pretty girls was an extremely ridiculous reason.
However, if it was Elysia saying this…
Mobius believed it.
If it was this annoying woman, doing something absurd wouldn't be surprising.
Especially when it came to getting to know girls?
Looking at the pink-haired girl staring at her expectantly with wide, watery eyes, Mobius fell into thought.
After a long while, she said:
"I can only give you part of it."
Although a high-ranking member of Fire Moth, due to her personality and other reasons, Mobius wasn't well-liked among the higher-ups. Even during the Second Eruption, those people deliberately kept her in the dark, only informing her when they couldn't hide it anymore.
And because of its special nature, even Mobius, as a high-ranking member, had no right to inquire about Chrysalis.
All she could do was use her authority to access the part of Chrysalis's information that was open to her.
"Hmm~ It's okay, I knew asking Dr. Mobius wouldn't be a problem~"
The smiling girl approached Mobius, placing her hands on the latter's shoulders and gently applying pressure.
The just-right force made Mobius subconsciously close her eyes and shiver.
…It felt quite good.
Although this woman was annoying, her massage technique was really… If it weren't for Elysia being too noisy and annoying, Mobius would almost have the idea of transferring Elysia to her lab specifically to give her massages.
Forget it, she'd just have Blanka learn these techniques later.
"A little harder there… Yes, right there… Hmm~"
"However—"
"Elysia, did you not hear what I said before?"
While enjoying the comfortable feeling, Mobius didn't forget to express her dissatisfaction.
She had clearly warned Jiang Qiao to exercise restraint.
Yet, she wanted to contact Chrysalis for such an absurd reason.
This was practically dancing on the edge of the Fire Moth higher-ups' nerves.
If this continued, Mobius couldn't help but worry.
Before Elysia could even interact much with Chrysalis, they might come looking for her.
—But what did this have to do with her?
It would be better if this annoying woman disappeared sooner. Then she wouldn't be bothered during her experiments anymore… Oh my~
