Chapter 7: Just an Ordinary Person
***
“Achoo—”
In the rest area of the training ground, a pink-haired girl wearing a tight training vest suddenly sneezed.
She had a feeling that soone was talking about her.
Not far away, Ato, with his left eye sowhat bruised and his body still wrapped in bandages, couldn’t help but complain:
“You really hit hard enough, Elysia.”
Obviously, his injuries were Elysia’s handiwork, or rather, Jiang Qiao’s at this mont.
According to the examination results from the doctor, aside from the bruises and swelling on his face, his ribs had nearly been broken.
“Ah… haha, I didn’t hold back properly.”
Sensing that resentful gaze, Jiang Qiao laughed awkwardly.
He hadn’t fought in so many years that his old skills had beco rusty. Combined with Elysia’s terrifyingly strong physical capabilities, various factors led to poor control of his strength.
Ato sighed, then said with so confusion:
“Whatever, I brought this on myself. But Elysia, your fighting style today was quite different from before.”
He had sparred with Elysia before. Her fighting style, even in close combat, was mainly based on entanglent and evasion, like a nimble fairy that was very difficult to catch.
But today’s Elysia had a fighting style that was sowhat… aggressive, the type that maximized offensive power, making Ato wonder if he had stumbled upon so special day.
Jiang Qiao felt sowhat embarrassed. How would he know how Elysia fought?
Being able to win against Ato using his old skills and Elysia’s powerful physical abilities was already quite good.
“Hmm… I’m trying out a new combat style?”
Fortunately, Ato seed to believe this reason and nodded with admiration:
“A new combat style, amazing. You really are the fastest-improving newcor in the organization.”
After all, with his demonstration of Shenzhou martial arts as backup, trying new fighting styles fit well with Elysia’s character.
“Teach soti too. It’s quite impressive. I’ve only seen Shenzhou martial arts in docuntaries before.”
“Hmm, soti later.”
Jiang Qiao casually agreed, not paying much attention to this matter.
The two soon parted ways, and he focused on the chat group in his mind.
Jiang Qiao: “How’s it going?”
Elysia: “Mm-hmm～ I’ve already entered Raiden i’s house～”
Seeing the reply, Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It seed everything was still in ti.
However, as expected of the Elysian Realm’s resident lesbian, how long had it been and she had already infiltrated the cooking girl’s house?
— Although this was indeed the case, Elysia’s thod of infiltrating the cooking girl’s house was obviously sowhat different from what Jiang Qiao had imagined.
The Raiden residence.
Although most of the Raiden family’s assets had been frozen due to Ryoma’s imprisonnt, at least i’s house was still fine.
However, in the vast house, only she remained.
Of course, now there was also an unfamiliar male.
Several dishes with typical Far East regional ho cooking style were placed on the dining table, looking quite good from their appearance.
“Wow～ I didn’t expect i to be not only beautiful but also have such good cooking skills～ I can hardly wait~”
The famished Elysia looked at these dishes with gleaming eyes, though it looked strange no matter how you viewed it with Jiang Qiao’s appearance.
However, the next mont, Elysia’s expression froze after putting a spoonful of sweet pepper curry in her mouth.
So, so salty!
“What’s wrong? Is the taste not right?”
Seeing this reaction, i was sowhat puzzled and also tried a spoonful, then imdiately fell silent.
She lowered her head apologetically:
“Sorry, I’m not very good at cooking. I ssed up the seasoning.”
“Mmm… it’s nothing, it’s delicious. I just like saltier food!”
Seeing Raiden i’s dejected appearance, Elysia quickly comforted her while beginning to eat heartily.
— The result was drinking lots of water afterward.
She also expressed her dissatisfaction in the chat group.
Elysia: “You lied to , i can’t cook at all!”
During their earlier conversation about Raiden i, Jiang Qiao had ntioned that Raiden i’s cooking skills were excellent, which made Miss Elf look forward to it trendously before tasting i’s cooking.
The result was being thoroughly deceived.
Jiang Qiao: ?
Seeing this ssage, Jiang Qiao’s mind was full of question marks.
You must have encountered a fake cooking girl. Don’t you know how the cooking girl got her nickna? Even that self-reliant white-haired fluffball was raised to be a life-incompetent person!
Wait—
Jiang Qiao suddenly rembered sothing.
It seed that the cooking girl’s culinary skills weren’t very good early on. After all, coming from a privileged background, she didn’t need to cook for herself. Her ability to cook was thanks to the Far East region’s ho economics classes, but don’t expect it to be very good.
Her dramatic improvent in cooking skills seed to start after she adopted that tuna.
A problem with minor details caused Elysia to suffer unnecessarily.
Fortunately, she didn’t mind much. After all, creatures like pink elves are quite easy to care for.
Having traveled the world in her youth, Elysia could totally handle food with excessive alkaline content!
“Glug glug～”
Elysia, who had drunk a belly full of water, put down her glass with a refreshed expression. “Ah, I’m alive again～”
The feeling of being full and satisfied really made one feel incredibly good!
“Well then, it’s ti to talk about serious matters!”
Facing Elysia’s suddenly serious expression, i beca sowhat nervous.
…
Massive Electric — abbreviated as Corp, this electronic machinery industry leader ostensibly controlled by Ryoma, secretly harbored hidden depths.
Behind it was Anti-Entropy, one of the world’s two major organizations fighting against the Honkai.
Beneath the Corp building was a massive chanical factory that also served as a secret base.
However, control of this base had changed hands following Corp president Ryoma’s imprisonnt.
The blonde woman in military uniform standing before the display platform was none other than the culprit behind the Third Eruption — Anti-Entropy Executor Cocolia.
The giant display screen before her showed not only live footage from various locations in Nagazora City but also complex data.
To implent Project-i, Cocolia needed to spread Honkai energy throughout Nagazora City. However, to prevent the Anti-Entropy moderates and even Schicksal itself from noticing, this process required a great deal of ti to proceed slowly.
Currently, the Honkai energy spread had reached 37% of the planned target. It was estimated that it would take nearly half a month more to reach the critical point for triggering a Honkai eruption.
A girl with silver hair, distinctive Roman curls, and a petite stature of less than 1.5 ters approached behind Cocolia and reported expressionlessly:
“Mama, a suspicious person has appeared around the subject.”
“What kind of person?”
Cocolia asked casually without turning around.
“Appears to be an ordinary person with extrely low assessed danger level.”
“An ordinary person, heh… no need to worry about it.”
She sneered coldly.
For a mont she thought it might be those two idiots from the conservative faction or that Schicksal had discovered sothing, which would make things very troubleso.
But since it was just an ordinary person, there was nothing to worry about.
Could a re ordinary person interfere with her plans?
“Bronya, handle such trivial matters yourself. No need to report to .”
“…Yes.”
