“Huh? Elysia, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
Words tinged with slight anger rang out in the cramped greeting room, Mobius’s distinctive voice drawing attention.
The reason for her displeasure was precisely the new recommendation report on the table.
The photo on it, a voluptuous girl with dual-colored fluffy hair, was undoubtedly Vill-V.
Below it, the recommender’s name was written in elegant handwriting: 【Elysia】.
As an extremely secretive organization, the early Fire Moth’s method of adding members, aside from allocations from various countries, was mainly through internal member recommendations. As long as they passed organizational review, they could join the organization.
Ironically, while Fire Moth’s higher-ups greatly disliked Mobius, the main personnel responsible for this area was still her.
“You should be clear about her identity, right? A wanted criminal who has committed crimes of varying degrees in various countries, using different faces and names to flee around… Such a ‘brilliant’ resume, you’ve recommended quite an incredible person, Elysia?”
As a secret organization jointly established by various countries, Fire Moth’s intelligence system was extraordinary. Although Vill-V had disguised herself well, her past was still easily laid out before Mobius. Holding the other party’s past records, Mobius emphasized the word “brilliant” with dissatisfaction and cold laughter in her expression.
Even within Fire Moth, Vill-V was classified as a super-class wanted criminal.
“Extraordinary times naturally call for extraordinary methods. Wasn’t Fire Moth born under such circumstances?”
The girl chuckled lightly, “As for Vill-V’s criminal record, you know that’s not really important, is it?”
“You’ve all seen the extraordinary abilities she’s demonstrated. Naturally, we should treat those with extraordinary abilities with different attitudes and methods.”
If not for the existence of Honkai, an organization with such complex composition as Fire Moth would absolutely not exist in this world.
But precisely because of its existence, Fire Moth could obtain special privileges in many areas.
Jiang Qiao could be certain that Fire Moth’s interior absolutely could not refuse a genius like Vill-V from joining.
After all, even according to the original development, Fire Moth’s higher-ups had intended to recruit Vill-V. They just hoped she would obediently act as a dog.
Only Mobius, having witnessed Vill-V’s destructiveness firsthand, stubbornly wanted to directly eliminate this dangerous Miss Magician.
And now, Jiang Qiao had preemptively recommended Vill-V’s joining under 【Elysia】 name before Vill-V touched forbidden information and Fire Moth issued an arrest warrant.
Even though Vill-V was a wanted criminal by multiple countries, she was actively joining the organization, not being recruited after arrest.
Although the result was the same, the operational space here was much larger than the original captive status.
After all, the difference between voluntary surrender and being captured and surrendering was enormous.
“Hmph.”
Mobius left with a flick of her sleeves, leaving only the smiling Jiang Qiao.
Getting such a result was naturally certain. With 【Elysia】 achievements in crusading against the 2nd Herrscher, sufficient to be called a Flame-Chaser hero, 【her】 recommendation was something Fire Moth simply could not refuse.
Moreover, Vill-V’s demonstrated abilities were very much in line with Fire Moth’s higher-ups’ needs.
Believing in the Miss Magician’s abilities, it wouldn’t be long before she could climb to the position of Fire Moth’s Engineering Department Director.
Next, they just needed to deal with the last of the Fire Moth’s big three, Dr. MEI, and the plan would be on track.
“During this period, I still need to brush up on cute Mobius’s favorability~ Oh my, suddenly feel so busy~”
Probably thinking of the interesting things that could happen afterward, the pink girl’s face showed a mischievous bad smile like a fairy.
So, about Elysia’s situation—
“That Dodo actually came over again, looks like World Serpent has already started taking action regarding 【Elysia】 appearance.”
Recalling the picture Elysia sent, Jiang Qiao smiled while briefly savoring the sensation from curiosity, and at the same time had certain speculations about World Serpent behind the Miss Dodo. Through the chat group, she began to understand the situation—
Jiang Qiao: “Elysia, how’s the situation on your side?”
Elysia: “Mmm~ Natasha is very cute, didn’t expect that viewing night scenery could let me see such a cute girl. Not going to sleep early was indeed correct.”
Elysia: “But the way she looks at me seems a bit strange.”
Jiang Qiao: “Haha, you can casually accompany her and have fun. I think she’ll be quite cooperative with you.”
Elysia: “Eh? Why?”
Elysia had been somewhat regretful, after all, Dodo looked like a petty thief breaking in for goods. Although she didn’t mind much, she also felt there probably wasn’t a way for the other party to stay too long.
Jiang Qiao: “If I had to say… she’s probably an acquaintance of mine. Just treat her as someone who specifically came to find you.”
Seeing this message, Elysia’s eyes lit up.
So it was Jiang Qiao’s acquaintance! She thought it was a thief!
Mmm, since she’s Jiang Qiao’s acquaintance, then being a bit bolder shouldn’t matter, right?
— Actually, at this time, Miss Dodo’s mentality had already somewhat collapsed.
She had originally just planned to briefly act with this pink rogue, then see if she could find the Seven Thunders of Retribution and quickly escape.
Whoever wanted to investigate the pink rogue could do it themselves.
However, after briefly escaping from Elysia and hiding in the bathroom under the pretext of using the restroom, the Miss Dodo had just conversed with her pitiful adoptive father.
After reporting her situation to the other party, Gray Serpent fell silent.
After a long time, he asked:
“Are you certain that the man called Jiang Qiao is that pink girl in disguise?”
Actually, Gray Serpent was also somewhat confused. He had originally wanted to convey the boss’s intentions to Raven.
But after learning from Raven that the respected lord might have disguised herself as a man and pretended not to recognize Raven, his CPU was somewhat overloaded.
“Is there a possibility that you found the wrong person?”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! This guy’s way of speaking and tone are exactly the same as that pink rogue! And that expression, it’s simply 90% similar…”
After thinking, Raven didn’t mention the only doubtful difference, the difference in yuri purity between the pink rogue and the useless fatty lady, she felt it was meaningless.
Who would distinguish people based on yuri content?
“So you’re certain and sure that the man called Jiang Qiao is that girl in disguise?”
“I’m certain and sure! I swear on my savings! This bastard called Jiang Qiao is absolutely the pink rogue!”
Seeing Raven being so serious, even taking out her extremely precious savings as guarantee.
Gray Serpent, as her adoptive father, finally believed her.
Moreover, with that lord’s personality, she really seemed capable of doing the things Raven described.
In that case—
“Raven, according to the Lord’s orders, your mission for the upcoming period is to stay by that man called Jiang Qiao’s side and fulfill her every request to the best of your ability!”
