"Maybe she just lusts after her."
Levi thoughtfully gave Elysia a reason for kidnapping Blanca.
Blanca was a beautiful silver-haired woman, and on top of that, she was an academic, giving off a strong intellectual air.
Her appeal to ordinary people was quite considerable.
'?'
'It wasn't like I would kidnap Blanca for that reason.'
Elysia was speechless.
As Mobius's good friend, Elysia and Blanca were also on very good terms. If it were simply because she lusted after the other woman's body.
She could just find an excuse and get what she wanted.
Why would she need to use such a vulgar method as kidnapping?
This time, it was Levi who fell silent. After a long while, he quietly said, "Beware of the yuri girls of Elysian Realm."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Levi ignored Elysia, who was loudly insisting that 'this is just friendly interaction between friends.'
Levi stared at the man in front of him through Elysia's pink eyes.
The anxiety in his heart was written all over his face and refused to fade. The phone in his pocket was still constantly giving off notification sounds as messages came in.
"Aren't you going to see who sent them?"
Levi lowered his gaze toward the pocket that seemed to contain some kind of little toy.
Maybe Blanca had sent a message because she couldn't find him.
"Messages from Blanca make a different sound.", Ato said.
But after hearing what Levi said, he still took out his phone to see who had contacted him and what messages they had sent.
The glow of the screen lit up the dark alley.
Seeing the messages displayed on it, Ato remained silent. Levi curiously leaned closer.
On the screen was a contact labeled 'Mobius,' currently launching a verbal attack on Ato.
However, from the little details between the lines, Levi realized that this person was very likely not Mobius herself.
In other words...
"She hired someone specifically to come over and curse at Ato?"
Levi's expression turned strange.
'She... sure knew how to have fun.'
With a heavy heart, Ato tapped the screen and typed two words.
"Sorry."
Then he turned off his phone, completely cutting off the disturbance.
Gripping the pistol Levi had handed him, the look in Ato's eyes gradually became calm. At the same time, a sharp aura emerged from him.
"Elysia."
Compared with before, there was noticeably much less anxiety in Ato's voice this time.
"Can you find Blanca?"
"I don't know."
Ato raised his eyes and quietly looked at the smiling 'Elysia' in front of him.
There wasn't the slightest trace of anxiety on her face.
"Stop lying to me."
Ato paused, then said firmly, "You can definitely find Blanca."
If you can't find her, I'll report the fact that you secretly brought a weapon out of the Fire Moth.
Levi and Elysia couldn't read minds, so they had no idea what Ato was thinking at this moment.
Otherwise, they would have given him a punch first and then helped him.
"That depends on whether you and Blanca are connected heart to heart."
"..."
Hearing what 'Elysia' said, Ato was stunned for a moment, then thought about what exactly she meant.
In the end, he looked at her with a face full of question marks.
"? What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like."
Levi slowly stepped forward, his slender fingertip gently pressing against Ato's chest. Ato, who felt the touch, couldn't help taking a step back.
"Don't move!"
At those words, Ato instantly stiffened, allowing 'Elysia' to press her finger against the position of his heart.
If Elysia wanted to take his life at this moment, she only needed to exert a little force.
That was what Ato thought after reading through her information.
Those slender fingertips would turn into the sharpest spears, easily piercing his heart.
And once the heart, the greatest weakness of a human being, was pierced, the only thing waiting for him would be death.
Fortunately, Elysia was not some evil person.
Although Levi was an evil person, he was an evil person with principles, and the things that made him evil were in an entirely different category.
"?"
Levi blinked and glanced around, muttering to himself, "Why do I feel like someone is cursing me..."
Probably just my imagination.
He shook his head and stared intently at the hand he had pressed against Ato's chest.
Looking at the somewhat nervous Ato, he said, "Pray."
"Pray for what?"
"Pray that Blanca and you... are connected heart to heart!"
Buzz!
A wave of energy centered on Elysia swept toward the city beneath their feet.
The phone Ato had put in his pocket and already turned off suddenly lit up. The next second, it returned to normal.
The electric lights being used for illumination around them did the same.
This made the residents living in the nearby buildings curse loudly.
"**! It broke again! How many times has it broken this month?!"
Ato was completely absorbed by the strange sensation in his body and didn't notice what was happening outside.
Feeling his heart beating somewhat rapidly, Ato lowered his head, his expression dazed.
On his chest, where 'Elysia' had pressed, a colorful crystal flower had grown.
Such a strange sight appeared before his eyes, yet Ato didn't feel anything like his scalp going numb. Instead, he felt that this scene was incredibly fantastical.
It was as if a dream from childhood had become reality.
Of course, the more important point was that all of this had been done by 'Elysia.'
He still trusted her very much.
"That really makes people jealous.", The girl's voice sounded in front of him.
She held up the colorful flower that had bloomed from Ato's chest. Before her eyes appeared threads that only she could see, each one representing someone who liked Ato.
"It really makes people jealous.", Levi repeated it again.
There were actually so many people silently liking Ato.
But that was normal. Even in the world of anime, where everyone was either a beauty or a handsome man, Ato's looks were still among the impressive ones.
On top of that, his sunny temperament was something few girls could resist.
The same evaluation applied to Blanca.
The two of them truly were destined to become a married couple in the future.
They really had the look of a husband and wife.
Ato looked at the 'Elysia' muttering to herself, unable to understand what she was talking about.
What did she mean by being jealous?
Was there something about him worth being jealous of?
'I learned it!'
Elysia, who had been studying intently, shouted excitedly.
Then there was a teasing look in her eyes, along with some other emotions.
"Levi, do you want to see how many people like you?"
"No.", An immediate answer.
'Huh? You didn't have to answer that quickly, did you?'
"You're so perverted, Elysia. You actually want to pry into other people's secrets."
Levi looked at Elysia as if she were a pervert, but in Ato's eyes, he was looking at himself.
After all, he couldn't see Elysia. All he could see was Levi wearing Elysia's appearance.
So when Levi gave her that look, he thought the other person was looking at him.
Ato scratched his head. "I..."
He was just about to ask what he had done when the 'Elysia' in front of him suddenly reached out and grabbed something in the air, then pulled.
Ato suddenly felt his heart jump violently once, and the words in his mouth abruptly stopped.
His eyes widened as he stared at 'Elysia' and the empty space before him.
'What was that?!'
"..."
