Chapter 271: Chapter 30: The Gaze from the Overtime Worker
"Hoo, finally fixed this bug..."
Klein watched the data stream refreshing on the screen, shook her sleeve, and prepared to take a breather.
This was the maintenance site next to the Leisure Hall of the Elysian Realm, just a door away from the reception hall - not a teleportation gate, just a regular sliding door.
In fact, this maintenance site was not originally part of the design of the "Elysian Realm," but later, Klein found it inconvenient to spend half a day returning to the maintenance center to adjust data every time she went to observe anomalies in the Realm.
So, the ELF installed several small maintenance sites in the corners of the "Elysian Realm," making it convenient for her to quickly fix bugs after exploration.
The green-haired ELF moved her fingers and fell into contemplation.
Ever since a visitor named Luo Lin entered the "Elysian Realm" through unknown means, the entire Realm had become strange.
For example, there were more monster data, translucent blue Honkai Beasts, various types of mechas, and strange golden-shelled creatures...
Klein hadn't seen these things much before, but considering that the visitors would engage in various monster battles during trials, she still recorded this data.
However, many strange things were found on these monsters, such as energy shields set to be invincible, and data that made surrounding monsters invincible for several seconds after death...
How were people supposed to defeat them? Although the trials in the Realm were challenging, they weren't meant to torture people with these things!
"Bugs, all bugs!"
The green-haired ELF spent a lot of effort deleting the strange entries inside, and she found that these data would mysteriously revert back to a portion every once in a while.
Due to the special nature of the "Elysian Realm" itself, the ELF couldn't directly set up an automatic cleanup program and had to inspect the data before processing it...
Klein frowned, adding another item to her already overflowing schedule - regular maintenance of the Realm monster database, deleting strange entries.
"Getting busier and busier... really..."
But as long as she could help Dr. Mebius.
Just then, Klein heard a strange sound coming from outside the door.
"...Help..."
"?"
The green-haired ELF rubbed her eyes and listened again, her ears perked up.
"Help, someone help me!"
She finally confirmed that there was indeed someone calling for help outside the door.
So Klein picked up the keyboard next to her and carefully opened the door crack, watching the situation in the Realm Hall.
She saw a small blue figure running frantically, with a very happy Elysia behind her.
...
How did things turn out like this?
Selune didn't quite understand. She just introduced herself, recognized Luo Lin as her master, and generously allowed her master and her friends to approach her.
Luo Lin looked at the proudly lifted Selune. She had gray long hair, with a touch of gray at the ends, as if dyed. She wore a tall top hat matching the size of the ELF, a gorgeous blue and black dress, fishnet stockings on her right leg, and a classic diamond-shaped leg ring on her left leg... Everything seemed normal so far.
However, Selune also had a strange cloak made of huge bird feathers, a mask on her hat in the shape of a bird's beak, and even blue roses inserted on it.
Thinking back to Selune's chuunibyou speech when she first appeared, Luo Lin felt that she should get along well with Raiden Mei.
"Staring at me like this, do you feel that your life has become a burden?"
Selune twisted her body awkwardly, seeming a bit embarrassed by the intense gaze, but the words she spoke didn't quite express her meaning.
"...Cute."
Elysia squatted down, bent over, and looked Selune in the eye. The ELF finally didn't have to lift her head to look at people, and her heart was touched.
"Your name is Selune's Elegy, right? Can I call you Selune?"
"Human! Your attitude is good, um, I allow you to call me that!"
Elysia's charm was indeed amazing. Even Selune, a rather awkward puppet, was impressed, but her attitude remained awkward.
"Hehe, Little Luo Lin, your friends are all so cute!"
Miss Pink Elf raised her head and glanced at Luo Lin, asking the other party not to look.
"Cute? I'm mysterious!" The ELF protested.
"Then, mysteriously handsome! Handsome and cute!"
Elysia reached out and touched Selune's feather cloak, then exclaimed, "Wow! It's warm and very comfortable to touch! Selune, you're amazing!"
"Of course! This is my proud feathers... But can you stop touching it? It's so weird."
Selune's face was full of entanglement.
"Um, let me touch it a little more..."
Miss Pink Elf's hand wasn't very honest. As she touched it, she reached Selune's head, but her technique was skillful to not let Selune notice anything abnormal.
Luo Lin on the side respected her - Elysia easily subdued this chuunibyou ELF.
Ellie, you're amazing!
Then, the Valkyrie began to wonder if she had ever been touched like this by Elysia.
...It seems like she touched her cheeks more often?
One minute later, Selune finally reacted, her face suddenly turning red.
"You you you you... Human! Don't continue touching my head! Otherwise, you might experience a not-so-peaceful death... I told you to stop!"
Although she said so, Selune's body unexpectedly cooperated very obediently, and her head unconsciously rubbed against Elysia's palm.
The ELF finally realized that things couldn't continue like this. With great determination, she took a step back and "escaped" from the clutches of Miss Pink Elf.
"Let me touch it a little more..."
Elysia begged.
"No, you can't, although it's very comfortable..." Selune muttered with a red face, "But you can't... Don't come over! Luo Lin-sama, save me!"
Luo Lin suddenly felt sad. "I suggest you don't resist, because your master can't escape her clutches either."
"Ah ah! Help!"
"I thought it was something serious... It turned out to be an ELF..."
Klein eavesdropping nearby put down the keyboard in her hand, and her antenna on her head moved twice. The built-in ELF radar beeped after a long absence - this meant that a similar entity had been detected.
The last time she received a similar signal was hundreds of years ago, and it was even a signal detected by the external detection radar of the "Elysian Realm," and there had been no news since then.
Could it be that wandering ELF from outside?
"Wait a minute! ELF?"
Klein strained her tired eyes due to long hours of overtime, staring at the blue ELF shouting.
"Elysia, don't let her escape!"
There's hope for my job!
