“Jiang Qiao, where is this place?”
Finding herself in an unfamiliar environment, the somewhat confused Elysia instinctively wanted to consult her external brain.
But he didn’t respond to her. The keen Miss Fatty, sensing something was amiss, looked around but couldn’t see Jiang Qiao anywhere.
Instinctively, she looked at herself.
Slender, fair hands, her own proud girlish figure, and that smooth, silky pink hair — had she… switched back?
Elysia instantly realized this.
But that wasn’t right! They clearly hadn’t performed any exchange.
Trying to recall her recent memories, she remembered that all Jiang Qiao had done was hold her hand, and then a dazzling light appeared in his palm, after which things became as they were now.
“Such a heavy sense of dissonance.”
Elysia instinctively clenched her palm, her beautiful brows furrowing.
While Miss Fatty’s academic performance wasn’t ideal, her sense of smell and intuition were extremely sharp.
She could easily sense the dissonance within herself and the surrounding environment. The only thing Elysia wasn’t sure about was whether this was the unfamiliarity from using her own body again after so long.
“Are you alright?”
A girl’s voice sounded beside her ear, drawing Miss Fatty’s attention.
Upon seeing the other person, Elysia’s first reaction was one of wariness.
That extremely revealing, somewhat lewd shrine maiden outfit, and that beautiful, resolute face.
— Without a doubt, the person before her was that donkey ears girl!
Wait, where are the ears?
Her gaze slowly moved to the other person’s head, and Elysia’s initially wary heart suddenly went cold, crying out inwardly:
— Where are your donkey ears!
Although she was still a very cute beautiful girl even without the donkey ears, and quite to her taste, she had always wanted to personally touch those adorable donkey ears!
“Ah, forgive my rudeness. I am Yae Sakura, the shrine maiden of Yae Shrine in this Yae Village.”
Though she found it somewhat strange that Elysia’s gaze kept lingering on her head, Yae Sakura still politely bowed out of courtesy.
This friendly greeting made it difficult for Elysia to continue being hostile. Though she felt somewhat confused, she still displayed her usual smile:
“My name is Elysia. As you can see, I am a beautiful girl as gorgeous as a fluttering flower.”
When saying these words, Miss Fatty was crying tears of joy inside.
She said it, she finally said it!
This self-introduction was clearly her own words!
But during this time, her body had been in bad Jiang Qiao’s hands, and she had always been just an observer.
Heaven knows what Miss Elf felt like watching her own body introduce itself to others?
If this continued, Elysia felt she might develop the delusion that she was actually Jiang Qiao, and Jiang Qiao was the real Elysia.
“Ely…sia?”
For someone living in the Far East, hearing such a name that differed from Far Eastern style would naturally cause some confusion, but then she seemed to understand and nodded:
“Oh, are you a traveler from outside?”
“Your name is Yae Sakura? Hmm… Sakura, what a lovely name.”
Elysia, who had moved closer to the shrine maiden, smiled as she examined the other person, humming as she praised:
“Just like your name, you’re a very beautiful and charming girl~”
Though she had no idea what the situation was.
But since she had regained her body after so long, and such a cute girl had appeared before her.
Then I, Elysia, won’t hold back!
“…You flatter me.”
If this enthusiastic attitude and passionate gaze had come from a male, Yae Sakura would have politely asked him to show restraint long ago. But living in a rural village with rather simple values, Yae Sakura naturally had much less wariness toward girls.
Even so, she still blushed slightly and stepped back a few paces, responding quietly.
— What a familiar feeling!
It felt like a remake of Kallen, no… this traveler named Elysia might be even more proactive than Kallen.
Such bold thoughts arose in Yae Sakura’s mind.
Dangerous, very dangerous!
But this girlish, innocent reaction, falling into Elysia’s eyes, instantly excited Miss Fatty.
A hint of amusement appeared in her eyes, and she unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, if viewed from another’s perspective, it would certainly be alluring and cute.
Such a cute reaction~ So she’s the more passive type?
“You could be more confident about your beauty, but I also really like modest girls~”
“Eh, Elysia?!”
Just as Miss Fatty was about to continue her assault on the shrine maiden, a familiar voice came from not far away.
It was Kiana and the others!
“So you’ve also come to this strange place?”
The three, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, who had been knocked down by the black mist earlier, quickly came to Elysia’s side.
Kiana and Mei naturally recognized Elysia.
As for Bronya, she looked at the unfamiliar Elysia with some confusion.
“Do you know each other? That makes things much simpler.”
“Sorry, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll excuse myself for now.”
The shrine maiden, who had been somewhat overwhelmed by the assault, quickly left after speaking.
This left Elysia, who had wanted to continue her conquest, stunned.
She puffed out her cheeks, looking quite indignant.
Damn it! We barely talked for two sentences!
Miss Fatty, who had originally planned to directly “capture” the other party, looked at the three with some dissatisfaction.
But instantly, her eyes lit up.
Weren’t these three also very cute beautiful girls?
It was just that because she had been using Jiang Qiao’s body before, it wasn’t convenient for her to approach them.
Hmm~ Since my prey escaped, you three can’t expect to run away~
A “dangerous” smile appeared on Elysia’s face again as she actively approached them:
“Hi~”
However, before she could say much more, Kiana dealt Elysia a crushing blow.
Looking at Elysia in 【Elysia】 appearance, the white-haired fluffball hesitated for a moment before asking with some uncertainty:
“Are you Jiang Qiao or Elysia?”
This question instantly petrified the enthusiastic Elysia.
Me, me, me! Isn’t it obvious? Don’t I look like Elysia?
“Asking such a question, I’m really going to cry! Kiana!”
Puffing out her cheeks, Elysia’s eyes welled up with tears, making a pitiful expression as if she were accusing something.
Upon hearing this, Kiana instantly understood:
“Right, it’s the cry-baby Elysia!”
