"There are so many things~" Elysia's smile was still as bright as ever, as if it could sweep away a faint haze.
"For example, why Kalpas's mask never breaks no matter how many battles it goes through… for example, why strange and inexplicable sounds always appear in Mobius's laboratory… and also, for example… why Ely is so concerned about our good Mei~"
Although Elysia's tone sounded, as always, with a teasing flavor, Raiden Mei sharply caught a trace of an extremely subtle, indescribable strange emotion.
This kind of emotion made her inexplicably… feel a faint sense of pleasure?
On the other side, Elysia did not pause, and continued speaking, "Of course~ besides the ones above, what makes me most curious is Miss Mei, who like me is also a beautiful girl~"
Faced with Elysia's enthusiasm as always, Raiden Mei instantly felt a little overwhelmed.
She stiffly tried to drag the topic back on track, "I heard from Eden that you can let me go to the Deepest Place."
"Aiya, Mei…" Elysia looked at Raiden Mei with amusement, "this line of yours is really bold~"
Raiden Mei didn't immediately understand what she meant.
Elysia tilted her head, eyes flashing with a mischievous gleam.
"After me and Mobius, you also want to walk into Aponia's heart? Didn't think you were such a dangerous girl."
"I didn't mean that..."
"Even if that's what you meant, it's fine~" Elysia playfully waved her hand, "I already said at our first meeting, I don't dislike bad bad girls."
"But, going to the Deepest Place… hmm, even for me, that counts as a very, very difficult matter. Maybe… I still need a little of Mei's help~"
Raiden Mei spoke without hesitation,
"My help? If it's something I can do, then of course…"
Her words abruptly stopped.
Because she clearly noticed, Elysia's gaze on her was as bright as ever.
Then, that gaze slowly, with some kind of indescribable focus and curiosity, moved upward… and upward…
Finally stopped at just the right angle.
There was nothing there, except her pair of horns.
Raiden Mei, "You..."
"Let me think, this should count as… 'foreshadowing recovery'?" Elysia smiled.
"I still have some things to do, I'll go first."
Facing Elysia's burning gaze, Raiden Mei prepared to leave without looking back.
However, after only a few steps, her feet stopped uncontrollably, because…
"Aiya~ I originally wanted to use this photo of Mei being princess-carried by Ely as our trade gift… but now it seems there's no need."
Saying that, Elysia was about to put the photo into her pocket.
"Wait…"
"Mm-hm~" Elysia turned back at the sound, smile as dazzling as flowers, "my good Mei~ do you still have something?"
Faced with Elysia's sly smile, Raiden Mei took a deep breath.
"Come on."

[It's coming!]
[I even specially rewound and watched it again!]
[World-famous painting "Kiana in Anti-Entropy" (green)]
[Hello everyone, I am Kiana's hat...]
[Elysia, Mei~ you don't want to miss this photo, right?]
[Please calm down!]
[Alright alright, bull-head man ecstasy!]

[Back to the Video]
Amidst the meme-playing of sand-sculpture netizens, the plot continued.
On screen, Elysia was excitedly touching the pair of horns she had been longing for, while Raiden Mei's face was scarlet as she bit her lip.
"Mm…"
"Mm…?"
"Oh~"
"Wow… this really is completely different from what I imagined..."
Although only a minute had passed, Raiden Mei felt as if a whole year had gone by.
"Have you touched enough?" Raiden Mei spoke coldly.
"Alright alright, that's enough. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity, I can be happy the whole day now"
Hearing that, Elysia released her hand, and got down from Raiden Mei's body.
Raiden Mei immediately ended her Herrscher form.
"So, Elysia, tell me the way to the Deepest Place, and also… the thing you said… that photo…"
Although Raiden Mei spoke the last sentence extremely softly, Elysia still clearly heard it.
To this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can always believe in Elysia~ What I say, I do. When you're ready, just come find me~"
Saying that, Elysia slowly took the photo from her pocket, and then handed it to Raiden Mei.
Raiden Mei coldly accepted the photo, and then the expression on her face instantly became wonderfully complex.
Emotions surged in Raiden Mei's heart like tides, but in the end quietly settled down, becoming a faint satisfied smile at her lips.
———
[Director! Quickly zoom the camera in for me!]
[Damn it! I also want to see!]
[What's written at the bottom! What did Raiden Mei see at the bottom!]
[Princess-carry Ely × Raiden Mei!]
[Alright alright, when I have money, I must buy a phone that can see pictures]

[In the Real World]
After watching this scene, Kiana looked at Raiden Mei with a complicated expression.
That gaze, like a wife looking at a husband's affair.
Facing Kiana's complicated gaze, Raiden Mei subconsciously picked up the water cup on the table, and began tactical drinking.
In the end, beside her, Ely, watching the commotion without caring about it being big, considerately reminded, "Mei… I already drank from this cup…"
"Cough cough… cough cough..."
Raiden Mei blushed, lightly coughed twice, silently put down the water cup, pretending as if nothing had happened.
On the other side, after watching this scene, Elysia's face was full of bright smiles.
"Ya~ didn't think the me in the video would still be this cute~"
Beside her, Eden helplessly shook her head, "To speak the truth, this really is the kind of thing you would do."
"Of course~ my good Eden, don't you think using this kind of method to make contact with beautiful girls is very interesting~"
Speaking of this, Elysia subconsciously looked not far away.
There, Raiden Mei was talking with Kiana, while Ely at the side happily butted in with his mouth.
For some reason, after watching this scene, in Elysia's heart suddenly rose an inexplicable envy.
'If only I could join them too~'
Elysia thought so.
