Seeing Levi and Kiana walk toward Mobius, the people around them even started to doubt.
The two of them were "superhumans" created by Mobius.
Otherwise, how could they do things like reacting to bullets and tilting their heads to dodge bullets, such ridiculous moves?
"Aponia!"
Seeing Levi walk over, Mobius loudly called out Aponia's name.
Her face was clearly unhappy.
In that kind of dangerous situation, she should have stayed hidden with her and waited for professionals to handle it.
What was she thinking by making a move herself?
Anyway, Mobius was extremely dissatisfied with "Aponia" acting without caring about her own safety.
Seeing Mobius' tightly furrowed brows and the displeased look on her face, Levi decisively gave up explaining and apologized with a guilty expression.
He pressed his palms together toward her, bent his slim waist ninety degrees, and shouted loudly, "I'm sorry, Doctor, it won't happen again!"
At times like this, no matter whether what you did was right or wrong, apologizing first was never a mistake.
And he knew that Mobius' starting point was concern for him.
At this moment, explanations were no longer important.
After the apology, Mobius' expression eased a little. Levi immediately leaned closer.
Looking at the big face right in front of her, Mobius looked confused. "What are you doing now?"
"Hehe, I was just worried that Doctor might be hurt."
"…Hurt? Why are you touching my leg?"
'I'm not even wearing stockings. If my legs were injured, wouldn't it be obvious at a glance?'
And Mobius blankly pointed out, "You're drooling…"
"Huh? Am I? Slurp!"
"…"
Kiana felt a strange sense of familiarity.
'Why does this feel just like how Mei and I get along?'
———
With the crisis over, the three of them acted as if nothing had happened, walking back and forth around the hall together.
Every time they reached a crowded area, the conversations that had been going on there would immediately fall silent.
It made the three girls look like demons.
All kinds of strange looks were cast at them.
Mobius was long used to that kind of gaze, and Levi didn't feel anything either.
The only one uncomfortable was Kiana.
Kiana rubbed her arm. Facing so many pairs of eyes, she felt a little uneasy.
"You two keep chatting. I'm heading off first."
She was already full, and it wasn't too late. She planned to go back to sleep.
So she could get up on time for class tomorrow.
Kiana quickly walked to a quiet corner with no one around, lightly tapped the empty space in front of her, and her figure instantly disappeared from where she stood.
[Ding! Kiana has returned to her original world!]
A notification from the chat group rang out right after.
Back at St. Freya Academy, Kiana took off her coat and the Valkyrie armor she wore underneath.
She threw herself onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after she left, someone who seemed to be a subordinate of the banquet host walked up to the two of them with a smile.
She held a notebook in her hand. After recording Levi's name, she bowed and left.
Watching her leave, Mobius said, "Looks like your earlier performance caught the host's attention."
There were so many people at this banquet, yet he specifically wrote down Levi's name. It was obvious he planned to treat him differently.
Looking away, Mobius teased, "From now on, my research institute will have to rely on Miss Aponia's kind support."
"Uh…" Levi scratched his cheek. "Why do I feel like he just didn't know who I was, so he came to ask for my name?"
In the guest room on the second floor, the old man hosting the banquet looked at the name in the notebook, his eyes shining.
He asked the attendant in front of him, "What about the other girl?"
"Sorry, sir, we couldn't find her at the banquet."
The room fell silent.
"Doing good deeds without leaving a name…"
The old man murmured. After a moment of silence, he said, "That's fine. Go organize the information on the others and bring it to me."
"Yes!"
The attendant bowed and left the room.

[On The Other Side]
Pardo, who had just returned from restocking goods in the warehouse, had no idea what had happened in the hall.
Looking at the completely changed banquet scene, Pardo looked confused.
"What happened while I was gone…?"
Suddenly, a passing attendant asked, "Hello, your name?"
"Huh?" Pardo froze for a moment, then came back to her senses. "Pardo... Pardofelis."
The attendant nodded, wrote down her name, asked a few more questions, and then left.
Watching the attendant's back, Pardo was a bit puzzled.
Anyway, she had given a fake name. Even if they found something, they wouldn't be able to find her.
After that, Pardo began searching for someone in the hall.
The reason she came back here after restocking instead of leaving directly was to thank the person who had helped her.
After all, without her help, she probably wouldn't have found the warehouse.
"I'm someone who repays kindness. I wouldn't just walk away like that!"
But when she finally found Levi, the look in his eyes when he saw her was a bit strange.
"You haven't left yet?"
Seeing his eyes, Pardo suddenly had a bad feeling.
Levi glanced at Mobius, took a small sip of juice, and said, "Then you can't leave anymore, Miss Pardo Felis."
"!!!"
Looking at Pardo's terrified expression, Levi let out a light laugh and raised his cup.
"Welcome to join the Fire Moth, Miss Felis."
Although there had been interference from the Poison Chrysalis, with the help of Levi and Kiana, the founding of Fire Moth was not materially affected.
Otherwise, without Fire Moth's existence, it was hard to imagine what this world would have become.
"Another organization to fight the Honkai would probably have been born."
The current Fire Moth member Aponia smiled as she looked at the current Fire Moth intelligence officer, Pardo.
"Happy cooperation in the future, Miss Kitty."
Pardo laughed awkwardly. She never imagined that she would just hear some rumors and come to restock goods.
And end up landing a government job?
Though from what they said, this job seemed a bit dangerous.
Should she quit now?
———
Facts proved that when your status and position change, most difficulties will automatically disappear.
"I'm sorry!"
A very loud apology echoed through the banquet.
The physically disabled but strong-willed son of a five-star general, with his hand wrapped in bandages, bowed ninety degrees to Levi.
Originally, Levi was supposed to apologize. Instead, this guy took the initiative to come over and, without saying a word, bowed and apologized to Levi.
And he shouted it so loudly.
It was hard not to think that someone had stepped in to settle the matter.
Looking at the man in front of him, Levi smiled lightly. "I forgive you!"
No one expected Levi to let him off so easily.
He didn't even ask for basic compensation.
The man clearly hadn't expected it to be so simple either. His expression froze slightly.
Levi's voice sounded again.
"But… don't do something like today ever again."
As his words fell, Levi left behind in their hearts labels such as gentle, kind, and exceptionally strong.
The banquet ended, and Fire Moth was successfully established.
[Ding! Commission complete!]
Sitting in the car, Levi felt a pulling sensation from his soul.
He slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was back in his room in Luofu.
Looking at his body, Levi stretched lazily.
"Ah! That felt great! Time to sleep!"
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to rest, a slender arm holding a kitchen knife pressed against his neck, and a cold voice questioned him, "Who are you! Why did you attack us!"
"..."
