READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 9: I Didn't Know You Had That Kind of Interest, Elysia
Indeed, Elysia wanted to save Nagazora City.
But, she also wanted to save Raiden Mei.
"I want to save both Nagazora City and Mei. I know it sounds greedy, but that's really what I'm thinking right now."
"So, Mei, will you save this city with me?"
At that moment, Elysia looked incredibly radiant in Raiden Mei's eyes. Looking at the hand extended towards her, she was a little lost.
It was as if a person in the depths of darkness had seen a light.
The girl couldn't help but wonder, even if it was her, was she worth saving? Would there still be someone willing to extend a hand to her?
Was this a dream?
The change in circumstances made Raiden Mei feel like this was an illusion.
Perhaps everything was just a dream, her father hadn't been imprisoned, and she was still living a happy and ordinary life, and there was no one named Jiang Qiao.
But at this very moment, he was right there.
This wasn't a dream!
Raiden Mei shouted to herself internally.
"...Even if you say that, I won't be able to help you, right?"
For some reason, she suddenly found that handsome face very attractive. Raiden Mei's cheeks were a little flushed with embarrassment.
Being called the vessel of the Third Herrscher, she was still just an ordinary girl, at best a little stronger than others.
She really didn't know how she could help the other person save the city.
She was truly useless.
"I can't do anything."
The girl mocked herself.
Even if she knew that her father had been framed, she had no power to fight back.
At this moment, Raiden Mei suddenly hated her former self, the one who had lived in such a sheltered environment.
Why, why couldn't she have been stronger?
"Ehh—Mei can't put herself down like that. In my eyes, Mei is not someone who can't do anything."
Elysia shook her head and said with a smile: "Look, haven't you made me, who was starving, stand here full of energy right now?"
"And, so what if you're just an ordinary person? I'm also just an ordinary person! No one said that ordinary people can't save others, right?"
Mei was moved, but then said somewhat awkwardly: "I understand what you mean, but could you… let go of my hand?"
The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. Looking closely, her ears were completely red.
The cook, who was still a pure maiden, couldn't handle Elysia's approach. And the pink fatty was currently using Jiang Qiao's body, giving it a masculine edge that was deadly to traditional Far Eastern women like Raiden Mei.
"Ehehe~ Is Mei feeling shy?"
Elysia politely and awkwardly let go of Mei's hand, secretly thinking about how smooth Mei's skin was, while also continuing to tease her.
"That's not it!"
Raiden Mei, her face flushed, retorted indignantly: "It's just too hot, and you're too close to me! It's just because of the heat!"
This reaction made the skin-suit fairy chuckle. She smiled and said:
"It seems that Mei is the kind of girl who isn't very honest. Girls should be more honest to be cute."
"But, it's okay. I really like this kind of Mei too."
Fire Moth Base
"Achoo—!"
The pink-haired girl sneezed, rubbed her red nose, and the Jiang Qiao inside was confused:
"That's weird, can Herrscher bodies catch a cold?"
He didn't know why he kept sneezing.
"Wait, could it be that Elysia is doing something bad with my body?"
Jiang Qiao suddenly became alert.
He didn't know if Herrschers could catch a cold, but he felt that with his body in the hands of the pink fatty, she would definitely be up to something.
Feeling worried, he directly went to the chat group.
Jiang Qiao: Are you there? How's it going?
Hu Tao: No undercover agents, the transaction continues!
Kyouko: What undercover agents?
Yunyun: What transaction?
Elysia: Huh? Did something happen while I was gone?
Looking at the chat group, Elysia was confused. She thought the others had talked about something before and specially looked through the chat history.
Elysia: But there's nothing here! You guys wouldn't secretly be hiding something from me and created a separate group chat, right?
The somewhat uneasy fairy immediately thought of the group chat relationship chart she saw online—how four college roommates could create sixteen different group chats.
Oh no, was she being excluded?!
The fairy, who was originally quite happy after dealing with the cook, was instantly shocked.
Elysia: If you did that, I'm going to cry!
Jiang Qiao: There's no such thing! I'm asking about how things are with Raiden Mei. Everyone else, stop with the nonsense!
Looking at the chat group, Jiang Qiao was speechless.
How could this woman come up with so much from just a few words?
Was this a woman's natural talent? No way!
He subconsciously touched a certain part of his body, thinking that he should also be one now, but why hadn't he discovered this hidden skill?
And those other ones, it was one thing for Sakura Kyouko, whose world was modern, but how did a magical world and a person from a second-dimensional game get so good at chatting so soon after joining?
Jiang Qiao's mind was filled with question marks.
Elysia: Ehe, it's done. Mei has been convinced, and we're preparing to save Nagazora City together!
Elysia: Beautiful girls teaming up to save a city. Oh dear, shouldn't I think of a team name?
Kyouko: The Bandit Buddies?
Yunyun: Yellow Beans (trying to hold back laughter)
Hu Tao: Yellow Beans (trying to hold back laughter)
Elysia, who had been excited about thinking of a team name, puffed up her cheeks after seeing this, looking rather pouty. It would probably be cute in her own body, but in Jiang Qiao's body…
Mei was feeling good!
Jiang Qiao was also trying to hold back his laughter, while also thinking about Elysia's next step.
Both Elysia and Raiden Mei were just ordinary people. They might be able to deal with some cannon fodder on their own, but when they faced Cocolia…
Ignoring Cocolia's Titan forces, Cocolia herself wasn't someone that two ordinary people could defeat. That crazy woman was no pushover!
So, first they needed to increase their side's combat power?
Bronya…
Jiang Qiao first thought of Cocolia's subordinate, who had high combat power and authority. Plus, he knew how to turn that little shortie to his side.
"No."
He immediately rejected this idea.
Indeed, Bronya was quite easy to turn.
All he had to do was come up with something like: "You also want to save Seele, right?" and he could take her in easily.
But, Bronya at this time was an unstable ticking time bomb.
She had Cocolia's chip in her brain, and every move she made was under the control of that crazy woman.
Turning her to their side was the same as adding a bug to their side. Not only would they be walking into a trap, but when the time came, Cocolia could just press a little button, Bronya would immediately go dark, and Elysia and them would have to fight a Dark Bronya.
It seemed that they had to capture the Tuna.
Just as he had set his new goal, he heard a teasing remark beside him:
"I didn't know you had that kind of interest in doing this in public, I just found that out, Elysia?"
Jiang Qiao looked over and saw a sharp-eyed green-haired woman with a snake-like gaze.
Her eyes were fixed on his chest—where his hand was instinctively reaching… it wasn't a very elegant movement.
Oh, this...
