Soon, after a brief resolution of that tiny misunderstanding, the three of them left the rehearsal venue and headed to a café in Nagazora City.
“I say…
Miss Elysia, this is our first time meeting, and we’ve only just gotten to know each other, haven’t we?”
“Don’t you think what we’re doing right now is a bit too intimate?”
At this moment, the three of them were seated across from each other at the café.
Kiana sat alone on the opposite side.
Liang Wu, however, had unexpectedly ended up pressed close to Elysia.
He looked at Elysia, who was clinging to his arm with tears welling up in her eyes, and was somewhat dazed.
Although, from what he knew of Elysia, as the Herrscher of Human, she did indeed love people.
But this was not how you loved people, was it?
She had come up out of nowhere to introduce herself, then suddenly broken down, then dragged them to a café, and then clung to him.
This was all a bit too inexplicable, wasn’t it?
“But the person I’m holding right now is my lost youth!”
“Wah wah wah…
my love is over…” Elysia continued mournfully beside him.
Yes, earlier, when she had seen that mother-like back view, the first time she had encountered this type, Elysia had truly felt her heart pounding.
However, reality had shown her that was not the case at all!
Though Elysia had no prejudice against gender, what she wanted was a gentle female mother figure!
Since when did moms come in male!
Just thinking about it made tears well up in Elysia’s eyes.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would probably condemn the scumbag who had abandoned his girlfriend.
Liang Wu: ….
Helpless, Liang Wu looked over at Kiana, seeking some assistance.
But Kiana was also looking at him with a very strange expression.
It seemed that because of Elysia’s sudden actions, Kiana had misunderstood that he and Elysia knew each other from before.
What’s more, even Cecilia had floated behind Kiana, staring at him with an indignant look.
For a moment, Liang Wu inexplicably felt a sense of guilt. Get faster updates on g.com.
And looking at Elysia, who was still crying, he felt like he would never be able to clear his name, even if he jumped into the Pacific Ocean.
He swore on his conscience that he really did not know Elysia.
Although, back when he had first awakened the system and needed a character to bind, he had considered finding this wandering Herrscher of Origin who roamed the world.
But unfortunately, her whereabouts were far too mysterious, and he had no leads.
So she was indeed not as cost-effective as Kevin.
Even if you had some special intuition, it should have been toward Kiana!
One was the Origin of the Previous Era, the other the Finality of the future.
Liang Wu had originally thought the two of them might have some subtle connection upon meeting.
Yet here she was, clinging to him and calling him Mom?
Though he was happy about the intermediate bond she had dropped, sullying his reputation like this was disappointing!
“Miss Elysia, if you keep this up, I’ll be very troubled.”
“Though I am male, even if a female like you is harassing me, it’s still against the law.”
“How is this harassment!” Elysia immediately looked up, her eyes still red but her tone justified.
“I’m just mourning my lost love!
As the person involved, shouldn’t you be comforting me?”
Liang Wu replied expressionlessly: “I think you should see a counselor, not cling to the victim for comfort.”
“But counselors don’t have a back view as beautiful as yours!”
“…”
Kiana sat across from them, holding her coffee cup, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two.
Though she had not fully grasped the situation, seeing Liang Wu so helplessly entangled made the corner of her mouth involuntarily curl up slightly.
However, seeing Kiana’s current reaction, Cecilia beside her seemed somewhat pained.
Seeing this, Elysia finally released Liang Wu’s arm, sat up straight, and cupped her hot cocoa in both hands, suddenly returning to her usual energetic self like a switch had been flipped.
“Alright, alright, I got too excited just now.
I promise I’ll act normal from now on!”
Seeing that she had finally returned to normal, Liang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
“So, you’re also one of the accompanists for this concert?”
In the café, Liang Wu finally regained control of the conversation, trying to counterbalance the earlier chaos with normal social distance.
“Yes!
I’m a close friend of Eden’s.
When I heard she was short on accompanists, I volunteered to help.”
“But don’t worry, I won’t steal your spotlight.
I’m just here to fill in, and also…”
She tilted her head, her gaze bouncing between Liang Wu and Kiana: “And also to meet some cute new friends!”
Liang Wu was silent for a moment.
He really had not expected Elysia to appear before him in this way.
From what he remembered, Elysia had only joined Fire Moth after the Second Herrscher, and before the Third Herrscher in Nagazora, she should not have had any role here.
But now, she had just naturally sat down across from him and inexplicably dropped an intermediate bond on him.
This development was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Elysia then turned her attention to Kiana: “Little Miss Kiana, are you and Wu siblings?”
Though their names were quite different, in terms of appearance, both Kiana and Liang Wu had white hair and blue eyes, which could easily cause misunderstandings.
Kiana was taken aback.
She looked at Liang Wu for help, as if she did not know how to explain their relationship to an outsider.
Though she had only known Liang Wu for a few days, they were indeed living together.
They were partners now, right?
But unlike the nervous Kiana, Cecilia suddenly grew excited.
She immediately floated in front of Liang Wu.
“Liang Wu, although Miss Elysia is indeed cute, don’t let outside flowers distract you!”
“Hurry up and tell her that Kiana is your most, most, MOST important person!”
