Chapter 212
[At this moment, Klein realized that this area had become extremely unstable. She instantly understood—this was Mobius preparing to delete this entire section of space. "Hehe...
That's right, Klein. There's still quite a bit you need to learn from me..."
"But... don't worry, this won't affect you much. At most, there might be some minor data corruption."
"You might experience some amnesia-like symptoms, but that shouldn't necessarily be a bad thing."
"I imagine you'd never want to remember how your new Herrscher friend... vanished in despair, right?"
Even after her defeat, Mobius hadn't given up on defeating Raiden Mei. Everything here was designed to kill Mei. If she died here, Mei's real body would naturally become an empty shell.
Facing this situation, Klein was completely overwhelmed and couldn't think of any data-based solution—after all, she was just Dr. Mobius's assistant. But Mei had her own ideas. She prepared to use her Herrscher of Conquest authority to replicate the "brute force creates miracles" approach from the Domination Theater.
Klein didn't believe Mei's completely unscientific approach would work, but under Klein's astonished gaze, a miracle occurred—a path to safety appeared. Because Mei's authority had attracted Elysia's attention to this place.]
[Stelle]:"Mei: Bet you didn't see that coming, Mobius? Herrscher authority, baby!"
[March 7th]:"This has almost nothing to do with Herrscher authority! Isn't this Elysia's power?"
[Kiana]:"Great! Thank goodness Mei's okay!"
[Elysia]:"Mei is just amazing herself~ Like I said, Kiana, as long as Mei's with me, I won't let her get hurt♪"
[HSR·Seele]:"Mobius is really something else. I wonder what kind of experts the other Flame-Chasers who haven't appeared yet are."
[Pardofelis]:"Actually, not all Flame-Chasers are experts!!"
[Sakura]:"Among the remaining Flame-Chasers... if we're talking about who to be cautious of, it would probably be Aponia and Vill-V."
["...That won't happen, Mobius."
"Someone who interests both you and me so much—how could she let you succeed so easily?"
Mobius sneered disdainfully: "Elysia, there should be limits to your arrogance. Do you really think you can save her?"
"Ah, that reminds me—haven't you always wanted to see me wear pink clothes?"
"I'm in a pretty good mood today. If she can still come out of the Elysian Realm alive later... I'll put it on for you right away. How about that?"
"Fine, then put it on."
Raiden Mei's cold voice rang out. "...What?"
Mobius turned around in shock. "...Finally back."]
[Stelle]:"This is the legend of the fastest comeback ever!"
[Elysia]:"Ara ara!~ Is Dr. Mobius finally going to wear the cute pink dress I carefully prepared♪"
[Silver Wolf]:"Mobius proved with facts that you shouldn't set up flags!"
[Pardofelis]:"I really can't imagine Sister Snake wearing a pink dress like Sister Elysia."
[Hua]:"Mobius wearing a pink dress!? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
[Silver Wolf]:"'Elysia looks cute in pink dresses!' 'Little Greyy looks adorable too.' 'Sakura's pink-themed so it doesn't look out of place.' 'What!? Mobius is wearing a pink dress?'"
[Stelle]:"When did this new cursed formula come out?"
[Silver Wolf]:"Just some gaming award that gloriously got promoted to a joke award."
["See, Mobius? What did I tell you? A cute maiden's heart can accomplish anything♪"
Mobius gritted her teeth: "This is impossible... How are you still alive?"
"Who knows? Maybe... just luck?"
"Luck...? Don't joke with me..."
Mobius looked at the smiling Elysia and completely understood: "It was you... Elysia..."
Elysia smiled without speaking, then Mobius 'tch'-ed and completely refused to honor her bet, simply walking away like that. "How much does she hate pink clothes... to get this angry."
"But still, her pouting expression... is actually quite cute♪"
"She looks like a little pufferfish, all puffed up... Hmm... What do you think, Mei?"
Mei pondered thoughtfully: "You already knew Mobius's true purpose from the beginning?"
"Ara, Mei, why would you think that? If I knew, I would have helped you sooner."
"It was only when she thought she could finally leave the Elysian Realm that she told me everything."
"Hmm... How to put it? It's like... your cat scratches your curtains and comes to proudly show off to you... Something like that feeling?"
Mei looked speechless at Elysia's analogy: "I can only say... good thing Mobius has already left."
"If she were here, I wouldn't say that♪"
Elysia said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.]
[Stelle]:"Pouting Mobius looks like a pufferfish? Herrscher of Void! Step forward!"
[Herrscher of Void]:"Hmph, what does that have to do with me?"
[Eden]:"I never expected Elysia to see Mobius that way."
[Pardofelis]:"But saying this behind Sister Snake's back like this—isn't she totally going to hear it?"
[Mobius]:"E! LY! SIA! You really should lose weight, 54.8KG Miss Pink Elf~~"
[Elysia]:"Wuu~~ How could you reveal a girl's weight in public♪"
[Kiana]:"Is she really that heavy?"
[Himeko Murata]:"Then what does that make me?"
[Here, Raiden Mei's journey in the Elysian Realm came to a temporary conclusion. Despite everything that had happened, Mei's purpose for coming to the Elysian Realm remained unchanged—she still came seeking the truth.
However, after Mobius's actions, Mei became even more wary of the Flame-Chasers in the Elysian Realm. This included Elysia. What exactly [Betrayer] meant, Mei still didn't know,
But one thing was certain—Elysia was definitely hiding some secret! Her true purpose was like an arrow drawn on a bowstring... always held ready but never released. Facing Mei's distrust, Elysia remained as enthusiastic as during their first meeting: "Me? I'm the same as you—I've never changed."
"As an observer, quietly appreciating the changes and surprises you've brought to the Elysian Realm..."
"That alone is enough to satisfy me♪"]
[Silver Wolf]:"Wow~ Saying something like that without directly refuting Mei's distrust—isn't this basically confirming that Elysia might have problems?"
[Stelle]:"Is my most anticipated pink-cut-black storyline finally here?"
[HSR·Welt]:"No, according to the records I saw that Mei wrote..."
[Elysia]:"Shh~ Future Mr. Welt, secrets should be explored personally. No spoilers allowed♪"
