[It looks like Elysia and Mobius have finished eating.
But I remember Mobius is always stuck in the institute.
How come I can see her coming to the cafeteria to eat every day now?]
[Has Blanca become strong enough to handle so many tasks alone?]
[That shouldn’t be right.
Blanca is currently dating Ato, so she definitely can’t finish all that work.
Even Blanca’s junior, the true Flawless One, couldn’t handle this much work.]
[Poor Klein.
I hope Mobius discovers you a little later.]
As a fellow worker, Yu Muyang naturally understood and sympathized with Klein a lot.
Workers shouldn’t make things difficult for other workers.
But there was nothing he could do right now.
He could only silently pray and wish Klein well.
When Mobius heard the earlier part about how unbelievable it was for her to come eat in the cafeteria, she was still thinking about how to make this behavior seem reasonable.
But the person Yu Muyang mentioned later immediately made her spirit rise.
Blanca’s junior, the Flawless One?
Hmm.
It seemed she needed to find an excuse to bring Klein over.
Since Yu Muyang said so, then this person must be a top-tier useful tool.
“Dear Mobius, how about I bring your meals to you from now on?
I’m worried that Yu Muyang will notice something strange about you♪~”
“…Get lost.”
After finishing the meal, Elysia smiled and waved goodbye to Yu Muyang, leaving him a bit confused.
[So beautiful.
But luckily I don’t have one of life’s three great delusions—that she likes me.
I still know my own place clearly.]
[With the setting of loving all of humanity in place, Elysia could never fall in love with just one person.]
[This can also be considered a kind of sadness.
She has great love, but no small love.]
[Elysia will probably never experience the feeling of two people truly loving each other in this lifetime.]
[But you never know.
What if someone gave up everything to save her?]
[Hmm… it would probably just make her a little sad at most.]
Yu Muyang’s thoughts kept flowing, and he completely failed to notice the curious yet complicated look on Elysia’s face.
So that was how it was…
Elysia had always believed that loving everyone was the best kind of love.
She thought she was simply that kind of person—selflessly loving everyone.
But after hearing Yu Muyang say this, she suddenly felt a little lost.
Was this really her?
What did this so-called “setting” mean?
Was it because she was a Herrscher?
But weren’t all Herrschers supposed to want to destroy all of humanity?
Was she a special Herrscher?
What did it feel like to fall in love with one person?
Was it different from how she treated everyone?
Many, many questions filled Elysia’s heart, but she could not say them out loud.
Once she said them, this little secret between them would completely disappear, and it would become much harder to hear about future events later.
Mobius naturally heard these words as well.
She turned her head to look at Elysia.
This time, there was no disdain or suspicion in her eyes like before.
Hearing Yu Muyang say it this way, she seemed rather pitiful.
Even the matter of falling in love with someone had already been set.
She had no right to choose.
But if anyone expected her to comfort Elysia, they could forget about it.
“Let’s go.
It’ll be troublesome if he notices us.”
“If you want to interact with him openly, then think about what you should do later and what identity you should use to approach him.
The information we can get from just nodding at each other during meals every day is far too little.
I still plan to forcibly press him into my institute.”
Hearing Mobius’s words, Elysia snapped out of it.
She pouted and looked at Mobius.
“If you force him like that, all you’ll hear later will be dissatisfaction toward you.
Since he has a good impression of me, then just watch how the beautiful elf girl handles it♪~”
Mobius was right.
She should give Yu Muyang a suitable new identity, or create a suitable identity for herself so she could approach him properly.
Didn’t he say he had no plans to go to the front lines before he had the ability to protect himself?
Then she would help train him.
Once he had the ability to protect himself, she could pull him into her own squad, right?
Besides, she also really wanted to know what happened to her in the future that made him care so much and want to save her.
“You?”
Mobius turned her head to look at Elysia.
After looking her up and down, she gave a disdainful smile.
“What, using your beauty?”
Elysia giggled and said,
“Of course… not entirely~”
“I really don’t know what’s so good about you that makes that guy like you so much.
It can’t be because you’re fat, right?”
“Mobius!”
“Tch.”
Mobius waved her hand and left.
What was so good about this pink chubby girl?
She herself was not bad either, yet this guy rarely ever mentioned her appearance.
Mobius lowered her head and could not see her own toes.
She touched her chin.
It couldn’t be because she was too big, right?
Later, Elysia found Ato and expressed the hope that Yu Muyang could join her squad.
When Ato heard this, he immediately became energetic.
Oh ho ho, see?
I told you so.
Elysia is definitely interested in him.
This was the first time since Elysia joined the Flame-Chasers that she had shown such obvious interest in someone.
As a senior, Ato naturally agreed.
However, the 2nd Squad was an elite unit, a squad specialized in dealing with Herrschers.
So even if they wanted him to join the 2nd Squad, a test was still needed.
After all, they couldn’t just let him join and then freeload as cannon fodder, right?
At the very least, he was a member of the Flame-Chasers.
He couldn’t be too weak.
Still, Ato was willing to open a small back door and lower the standard just a little.
But even so, the standard was still extremely high.
It was one in ten thousand within the entire Flame-Chasers.
So the next day, Ato found Yu Muyang.
“Muyang, pack up a little and come with me to test your current strength.”
The moment Ato said this, Yu Muyang knew what was going to happen.
He knew he could not escape, so he simply followed Ato.
While he was thinking about whether to deliberately act like trash during the assessment so Ato would ignore him, one sentence from Ato completely killed that idea.
“If you pass, you can enter the 2nd Squad.
The treatment in the 2nd Squad is who knows how many times better than logistics.
And the captain is the most beautiful flower of our Flame-Chasers, Elysia.
You should work hard.”
Yu Muyang did not care about the treatment.
But the name Elysia was very important.
[Joining Elysia’s squad doesn’t seem unacceptable.
After all, when Herrschers appear later, the squads will mostly be handling miscellaneous tasks outside.
The real Herrschers will be faced by those top warriors.]
[Besides, Elysia alone can handle the first few Herrschers.
If I join the 2nd Squad, I might even get to know Elysia and build a good relationship.
That would also be a good thing for me.]
[After all, I can’t stay as a stranger to Elysia until the end.
If I say I can save her at that time, she would refuse.
Building a good relationship is very necessary!]
[Forget it.
No more hiding.
I hope my strength is enough to enter the 2nd Squad.]
While Yu Muyang was thinking about these things, Elysia happened to arrive at the training ground.
Hearing these thoughts, Elysia hummed lightly as she walked over to Ato’s side.
Hmm, wants to build a good relationship with me?
As expected, my charm is really hard for anyone to refuse!
Just because Yu Muyang cares so much about me, even if I have to soft-talk and pester, I will get Yu Muyang into my squad.
