Chapter 36: Hey~ How's It Going?
Elysia: Even if you come, it's useless. Just give up.
Elysia: I'm sorry. Because of my selfishness, you might have to be a girl forever.
Elysia: But, I'm very glad that I could have an experience like this in my life.
The only regret is that I can't personally see the owner of this body.
In the huge base's central area, looking at Kiana, who was angrily trying to stop the bomb's countdown program left by Cocolia, Elysia sighed softly.
At the end of her life, to have two cute girls accompany her, it seemed like it was something to be happy about.
But if it was possible, she still hoped to get to know more beautiful girls, to see the beauty of the world, and to leave behind a more wonderful life.
Elysia, who was quietly waiting for the countdown, was thinking this when a very familiar voice rang out:
"Seriously, don't say things that sound like someone who's about to die."
" !?"
Elysia could never be unfamiliar with that voice because the owner of that voice was none other than herself!
She looked in disbelief at the direction where the voice came from. A pink figure came into view.
That face, as delicate as a flower, which had been reflected in the mirror countless times, wore a smile that Elysia knew so well.
The other person propped herself up on her slender waist with one hand and asked with a smile:
"Hey~ How's it going?"
"...You."
Elysia looked at the [Elysia] who had appeared in front of her with a feeling that was hard to describe. Even with the fairy lady's experience, she didn't know what to say at that moment.
And Kiana and Mei, who were also in this central area of the base, naturally couldn't ignore the big, living person who had suddenly appeared.
"S-such a beautiful girl!"
The two of them stared at Jiang Qiao, their eyes wide. However, they soon snapped out of it. "Who are you? Could it be that you're also Jiang Qiao's partner?"
"Huh? Jiang Qiao?"
Jiang Qiao, who heard this term, raised an eyebrow and looked at Elysia on the side. The latter had a very awkward and guilty expression, and he immediately understood what had happened. He sighed, pointed with his index finger, and said a little irritably:
"You and you, you sure know how to give me trouble."
"You'll have to explain all of this to me properly later, Elysia."
Hearing these words, Elysia instantly turned into a quail, as if she was henpecked, lowering her head, and not daring to argue back.
This was indeed her fault.
Jiang Qiao had to play the role of Elysia because he was worried about her original interpersonal relationships.
But Elysia, on this side, had completely done this out of a playful mood.
She had originally hoped that she could give the other person a surprise when they switched back, but she had never thought that she would have been directly caught.
Kiana was a little confused. "Elysia? What's going on? Isn't Elysia the girl that Jiang Qiao likes?"
"?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qiao was stunned. He then looked at Elysia, who was shrinking further, with a strange expression and a kind smile:
"Oh dear, it seems that while I was gone, you said some incredible things to them? I'm very curious about that, hehe—"
He emphasized the words "very curious."
"What's actually going on?"
Elysia and Jiang Qiao's conversation left the two of them confused. Kiana asked very eagerly.
But, in response to that, Jiang Qiao waved his hand:
"Now is not the time to talk about these things."
"The most important thing right now is to deal with the trouble left behind by that mother fox Cocolia."
With that, he looked at the screen. The countdown timer only had one minute left.
"Can you deal with that thing?"
Not only Kiana, but also Elysia, were suspicious of his ability.
Her own body didn't have such skills.
Or maybe, was it possible that Jiang Qiao was actually a bomb disposal expert?
For some reason, Elysia suddenly felt a little expectant.
If that was the case, then wouldn't this city be saved?
"Hmm, let me see..."
As the three of them held their breath, Jiang Qiao didn't make a decision. Instead, he went to the console and fiddled with it.
Then, he raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but curse under his breath:
"That mother fox Cocolia, she really is vicious!"
"What's the matter? Is it impossible to disarm it?"
Elysia's heart instantly became anxious again.
"It's useless even if it's disarmed."
Jiang Qiao sighed.
That mother fox had done an extremely thorough job. Not to mention that this program was one-way and couldn't be stopped, according to the information in the program, Cocolia had placed more than one Honkai energy reactor in Nagazora City!
In order for the plan to progress faster, besides the biggest reactor under the ME Corp building, Cocolia had also placed Honkai energy reactors of different sizes in various places in the school city, the south, and west of Nagazora City.
Even if the biggest one was disarmed, the smaller ones would be enough to turn Nagazora City into a dead zone.
"How could that be, that bastard!"
Kiana clenched her teeth, and angrily punched the console. The punch was so angry that the console cracked, and traces of blood seeped out.
Mei also slumped to the ground, her face pale:
"Is Nagazora City doomed?"
All their efforts were to save Nagazora City. Was the ending still going to be a failure in the end?
Elysia's expression changed slightly when she heard the conclusion. She quickly urged:
"Jiang Qiao, quickly go back!"
In any case, this was all her own fault.
Elysia didn't want Jiang Qiao to stay here and be buried with her!
"Seriously, why are you all so flustered?"
Jiang Qiao looked at their faces and was helpless.
"Anyone would think that the sky is falling."
"Alright, alright, although it is indeed a bit troublesome, it's just a little bit of effort for me."
Hearing this, Elysia was at a loss for words.
What did he mean by "it's just a little bit of effort for me?"
She had originally thought that Jiang Qiao was a bomb disposal expert, which was why she had expectations.
But it turned out that he wasn't anything of the sort, and this bomb couldn't be disarmed at all.
Then, the only thing left was to rely on her own skills?
Elysia, who knew herself very well, only felt that Jiang Qiao was trying to act tough and was immediately going to continue to try and persuade him.
But the pink light that flashed on his body the next second made the pink fatty stunned.
Wearing extremely gorgeous clothes, with a divine halo floating behind her, and even her eyes had changed to divine pink ones, the girl was now standing in the central area of the base, looking at them with a smile.
At that moment, the three of them had different thoughts.
Kiana: Wow, another transforming magical girl has appeared?
Mei: So beautiful!
Elysia: ???
Who are you?
