Chat Group: Starting by Swapping Bodies with Elysia?

"That idiot before was really clumsy, but… Elysia, about her, aren't you going to explain something to us?"

Leaning against the girl, Mobius, with her eyes slightly closed, enjoyed the perfect pressure, her body relaxed, but she didn't forget to ask the question she had been wondering about.

"Hmm~ You actually noticed [my] abnormality, but judging by your expressions, don't you already have the answer in your hearts?"

Because of Elysia's little revenge plan, Jiang Qiao wasn't aware of the misunderstanding between Elysia and Mobius, but from Mobius's words, he had already guessed what that idiot Elysia had done after swapping back.

However, he wasn't too concerned about revealing his flaws.

"So, she really is the real Elysia." Mobius showed a knowing expression.

Unlike Elysia, who hadn't interacted with MEI and Vill-V, the person Mobius interacted with from the beginning was Elysia, not [Elysia]. Later, because their relationship was still in its early stages, she didn't pay much attention to the strange incompatibility.

It wasn't until she saw Elysia again and learned some truths from Vill-V and MEI that she confirmed this idea.

"What's wrong? Does she not look like it?"

"She does. Honestly, I prefer her to you."

—Except for massage skills.

Mobius's tone was slightly disdainful.

Because [Elysia]'s Elysia purity was too high, Mobius naturally disliked [Elysia] even more.

But she had to admit, in terms of massage techniques, she preferred the current [Elysia].

"Oh dear, saying you prefer another girl in front of a girl, that's not very nice. I'm hurt."

However—

This was good.

After all, he wasn't Elysia.

The pink-haired girl smiled.

"I saw your leave request to the organization. Where are you planning to go?"

Although she wasn't in charge of this aspect, since they were now considered to be on the same side, Mobius also paid attention to Jiang Qiao's movements.

[Elysia] fell into a brief silence at this question.

—He didn't know where the Fourth Eruption would occur, as miHoYo's description of the Previous Era's eruptions wasn't very complete.

To find the location of the eruption, he had to personally investigate various places.

Even MEI, who was also a Herrscher now, couldn't do this for him.

Because the ability to observe Imaginary energy in the Sea of Quanta was essentially an extension of the Herrscher of Origin's power.

Only the Herrscher of Origin could observe this extremely subtle phenomenon based on the distance from the Cocoon.

And it had to be an awakened Herrscher of Origin. A half-baked one like Elysia couldn't see anything at all.

However, searching one place at a time would be too slow. The Fourth Eruption might have already occurred by the time he found it.

Therefore—

"I plan to go to New Zealand first."

The girl said.

New Zealand—of course, the name wasn't important. The important thing was that the Fourth Eruption in the later era originated from New Zealand.

Following the fatalism of the Honkai series, Jiang Qiao felt that starting from there might quickly yield results.

"…Be careful."

Subconsciously saying these words, Mobius, realizing what she said, looked at [Elysia], who was smiling at her, and wished she could slap herself and take back those words.

Although it was normal to say such things as parting words, considering the girl's identity as a Herrscher, these words became incredibly foolish.

What was she doing? Telling a Herrscher to be careful?!

"I understand. By the way, Dr. Mobius like this is also very cute~"

"I'll bring you souvenirs from New Zealand."

Walking to the opened Imaginary portal, the pink-haired girl smiled and made a playful farewell gesture with two fingers, then whispered:

"Then—"

"I'm off."

Watching [Elysia] disappear, Mobius, sitting on the Herrscher of Origin's familiar, was a bit dissatisfied, "Hmph, that Elysia!"

"Hmm~ I feel someone is thinking about me, is it Dr. Mobius? Right?"

The pink-haired girl suddenly poked her head out from the newly opened Imaginary portal and smiled at Mobius.

"Whoosh~"

A small fist gently landed on Mobius's head, coupled with that smile, instantly filling Mobius's previously empty anger bar.

"Ely—si—a—!!!"

An angry roar echoed in the space, but Jiang Qiao had already escaped with a chuckle, disappearing into the Imaginary space.

…

"That Cocolia, is she planning to go to New Zealand?"

Elysia frowned upon hearing the information leaked by the "gangster princess."

Honestly, she rarely hated anyone.

But Cocolia was an exception.

Disregarding other people's lives for her own selfish desires, even willing to sacrifice an entire city to achieve her goals—such a person could only be called a villain, right?

Even now, Elysia could still recall the helplessness and despair she felt in the ME Corp underground base, watching the lives of the city rapidly dwindle with the countdown on the screen.

According to Bronya's information, Cocolia's target this time seemed to be the Gem of Desire…

Although she didn't know what the Gem of Desire was—Jiang Qiao hadn't explained the concept of the gems to her, after all, it was too distant for them, and it was better to focus on the present—Elysia had a vague feeling.

If the Gem of Desire fell into Cocolia's hands, it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.

To prevent that person from plotting another disaster like the New Zealand eruption, Elysia instantly made up her mind:

"—We must stop her."

The girl's tone was resolute and firm, just like when she first met Jiang Qiao.

Just as Elysia was planning how to go to New Zealand, Raven, who hadn't appeared for a while, took out some tickets and documents and pushed them in front of Elysia, saying casually:

"Here~ These are the tickets and passports to New Zealand."

Elysia was surprised, but after the surprise, she was more puzzled.

Logically, Bronya should have just told her this information.

She hadn't even had time to tell Kiana and Mei.

But Raven had already prepared the tickets and passports? Wasn't she a bit too reliable?!

But Raven just waved her hand:

"Don't look at me, it was that pink-haired hooligan's order."

Elysia: ⊙ω⊙

—Where did this damned sense of security come from?
