Elf vs Snake, Elf Win!!

Mobius let out a huff, her gaze shifting to Luo Mo, the unexpected visitor. A thought seemed to cross her mind, and she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hehe, Elysia, how about we make a wager on who he's here for?" Mobius proposed, her voice brimming with confidence. After all, it was she who had asked Gray Snake to invite Luo Mo, and it was Gray Snake who had relayed the message. There was no room for error.

Elysia responded with a cheerful agreement, "Hmm! Yes, yes, Mobius, if you lose, you'll have to give me a hug, and if I win, I'll give you a hug, okay!?"

Elysia was indifferent to the outcome of the bet. Whether she won or lost didn't matter to her. Such was the magnanimity of the Miss Pink Elf!

Mobius was taken aback. She was baffled by Elysia's proposition. But before she could react, the terms of the bet were set, and the game of chance was underway.

"I've come for Elysia!" Luo Mo declared, his voice echoing in the vast expanse.

He was puzzled by Snake's nonchalant proposal of a wager, but he had no intention of losing. A multiple-choice question with Elysia as an option was, in his eyes, a single-choice question. Even if Theresa-sama was included, he would only hesitate for a fleeting two seconds.

Apologies, Theresa-sama, he thought, but this is different for me. You are the cutest in the world, while Elysia is the prettiest. So, don't be jealous.

And so, without a second thought, he chose Elysia. His heart swelled with joy at the thought of meeting Elysia first on his journey.

Setting aside his selfish desires, which admittedly made up a significant portion of his decision, who could resist the allure of a beautiful young girl as lovely as a flower?

Even from a logical standpoint, Elysia was the centerpiece among the Flame-Chasers. Only she had the kind of appeal that could weave together the narrative of all the Flame-Chasers.

Unlike Mei in the original story, he didn't have the time or the resources to find them one by one. His choice was clear, and he was content with it.

"Uh-huh! It's me, oh?" Elysia stood up, her petite head bobbing lightly in affirmation. Her left hand rested gently on her waist as she maintained her playful smile, reminiscent of a charming pink Elf. Unfazed by Mobius' resistance, she leaned in to give her a gentle hug.

Luo Mo found his attention wavering, his eyes growing inexplicably moist at the sight of the living, breathing Elysia.

"Ah, by the way, you're the one who created this game, right?" Elysia asked, pulling out a device. Displayed on the screen was the PV footage from the very beginning of the game.

She fast-forwarded to the final scene, pointing at the indistinct figure with pink hair. With her hands on her hips and her head tilted, she asked, "Look! That's me, isn't it!?"

"Yes, I did create this game. It has a very important chapter, and you, Elysia, are the protagonist of that chapter," Luo Mo responded, choosing his words carefully. He looked at Elysia with hopeful eyes, "So, would you be willing to help me with the voice acting?"

It's often said that no matter when or where, Elysia will respond to your expectations. So, could the wonderful Elysia respond to this expectation right from the start? Luo Mo wondered, anticipation filling his heart.

Elysia, a passionate gamer, exclaimed with a sparkle in her eyes, "Well, I do love this game la, and I'm also willing to dub for it la!?" Her voice echoed in the space, revealing her genuine enthusiasm for the game.

However, her expression quickly changed. She looked slightly distressed, her tone dropped to a low whisper as she confessed, "But we're all people from the past, we're the remnants of the past that only belong to the past, it's not suitable and shouldn't appear in the future?" Her words hung in the air, a poignant reminder of their shared history.

Before she could finish her sentence, a small hand, as white as porcelain and as tender as a petal, surfaced on Elysia's waist. It was a loli's hand, with a sleeve of dark green. Luo Mo, who was observing the scene, noticed the color but it was too late for him.

"Get up, Elysia, I still have a lot of things I want to have a good~good~chat~with this gentleman." The voice was sweet yet commanding. As soon as the words were out, Ellie was gently pushed away, and a green-haired loli came into view.

She was a sight to behold. Her long, light green hair flowed like a waterfall, adorned with a black crown that added to her regal appearance. She wore a long black dress, intricately embellished with snake patterns and scale styles, which she wore as she sat on a suitcase. Her bottomless snake pupils were particularly eye-catching, captivating anyone who dared to look into them.

"What, only want to talk to Elysia and don't want to talk to me? Cute~lovely~ big brother." She turned her gaze towards Luo Mo, who seemed frozen in place, deep in thought. Mobius watched him for a moment before moving closer, her voice dropping to a seductive whisper.

"No, I'm just curious that the name given to me isn't even mice," Luo Mo retorted quickly, his words tumbling out in a rush, as if they bypassed the filter of his thoughts.

He had just emerged from the whirlpool named Elysia, a vortex once filled with pink bubbles of dreamy hues and an immensely powerful attraction that immersed one in the warmth of love. But he knew all too well that love alone was not enough.

Now, he found himself facing a death wish again. A question mark seemed to emerge from the green-haired figure in front of him, but that was only the beginning. Soon, two more question marks joined the first.

"Are you a pervert, that you wish to be experimented on?" Mobius asked in surprise, her eyebrows raised. But then she shook her head dismissively, "But never mind, from this aspect it can be confirmed that you do know enough about us,"

"Perhaps Gray Snake's claim that you can see the exact future does have some truth to it, I'm really becoming more and more curious about you… as you wish, mouse, but ~don't~ get ~caught~ by ~me~."

Mobius propped her head on her hands, her lips curling into a 'healthy' smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Her gaze was fixed on Luo Mo, a hint of intrigue sparkling in her eyes.

(Author: in Chinese, 'elf' does not exist, the closest to describe it is the use of '妖精' 'goblin' or fairy if your image is good, i mean goblins are popular in many human civilizations even though they are so different, actually I prefer to call Elysia a goblin because it is funny to hear)

"Wait, Mobius, you didn't tell me anyone could see the future? ," Elysia, affectionately known as Miss Pink Goblin, exclaimed. She had been gently nudged aside earlier, but upon hearing this intriguing piece of news, she quickly closed the distance between them. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she asked, "Is it the kind like Aponia??"

Mobius, however, seemed indifferent to Elysia's question. "I don't know about that? If you're capable, you can ask the mice yourself." His gaze remained fixed on Luo Mo, as if Elysia's presence was of little consequence to him.

Elysia's mouth puffed up a bit, a clear sign of her displeasure. She was slightly miffed at Mobius's indifferent attitude. However, considering it was the adorable Mobius, she decided to let it slide. After all, who could stay mad at someone as charming as Mobius?

With her curiosity piqued, the goblin lady turned her gaze towards Luo Mo. In her gleaming eyes, one could see a flame of curiosity burning brightly.

"Tell me, tell me, little Luo Mo, can I assure you of a safe journey in the mystical Elysian Realm?" Ellie asked, her voice echoing in the vast expanse of the realm. She patted her chest confidently, her waves of assurance reaching heights that Mobius could only dream of.

Once, Ellie was a figure of power and influence, a beacon of hope in the Elysian Realm. But now, she was reduced to a shadow of her former self, hiding in the corners of the realm like a defeated dog, licking her wounds in solitude.

Ellie's assurances were tempting, her words woven with promises of safety and protection. But there was a catch, a small word that Luo Mo wished could be erased from the proposition.

"Of course, my good Ellie," Luo Mo responded, choosing to mimic Eden's opening directly. His words were spoken in a shocking manner that caused Elysia to frown slightly.

Elysia was curious to hear his next reply, but she chose to remain silent, her palm resting behind her back, curled into a fist.

"Firstly, a correction needs to be made. I don't possess the ability to foretell the future. To be precise, I merely saw the direction of a parallel world that has overcome the Honkai," Luo Mo clarified, his voice steady and calm.

"Impossible. Sue has been searching for that for so long without any success," Mobius interjected, flatly concluding that Luo Mo was lying. The VALUKA program was about this, but so far, there was no news. How could an outsider suddenly succeed where they had failed?

"Don't rush, I haven't finished yet," Luo Mo said nonchalantly, his voice echoing in the silence of the realm.
