The Two Stooges vs the Pink Elf

Both Kallen and Luo Mo's mouths twitched slightly.

"You're devaluing yourself and Luna by giving them to Luo Mo for such a silly reason." Kallen said angrily, feeling protective of her granddaughter.

Luo Mo agreed with her at first, but then he realized something was wrong…

"Hey, what do you mean devaluing by me?" Luo Mo protested, feeling insulted.

Beside him, Elysia gently released Luna and nodded along:

"That's right, Theresa is not good enough for Luo Mo with just one kid. How about you come to me… Ahem, I mean learn some fighting skills from me."

Luo Mo felt a headache, he sensed that they were teasing him.

Kallen might have been jealous that someone else had taken her precious girl, but Elysia was clearly in a flirty mood.

"Who are you? Why should I learn combat skills from you?" Theresa asked, feeling annoyed.

She was a former S-class Valkyrie, and she didn't need Judas to prove it!

She didn't trust the pink-haired woman in front of her, and she thought that she was up to no good.

"Because… We're both cute, pretty young ladies?" Elysia answered with a gentle smile.

Theresa: "…"

That was a strange reason.

Theresa's smart little eyes were puzzled.

Elysia quickly turned to Luo Mo and asked him, "Luo Mo, is Luna a kindred in this world too? Or is she a vampire like in the game?"

"She's just a normal human now."

"Uh huh! Really? Then I can take Luna to many more places, and I would love to do that!?" Elysia said happily.

Kallen felt a surge of doubt as she watched Luo Mo interact with the pink-haired woman. She didn't understand why he trusted her so easily.

'Luna kindred... she hadn't declared to the public yet, and then she told her in her head, Luo Mo won't be blinded by beauty, right?' She thought worriedly in her heart.

Luo Mo sighed and gave in to Elysia's request. "Theresa and I live here, you can come over if you want." He said.

Elysia's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow! You're here too... Are you living with Theresa??" She exclaimed, looking at Theresa and then Luo Mo.

She pretended to be innocent, but there was a malicious smile in her eyes. "You're not afraid of getting in trouble for this? Touching such a young and cute girl??" She teased.

Theresa snapped. She couldn't stand Elysia's mockery anymore. "Ahhh, this academy head has had enough, I'm not a child, I'm an adult!" She shouted, jumping up in fury.

She glared at the pink-haired woman who insulted her age. How dare she call her a young girl? She was a respected senior of the academy!

Elysia measured her height with her hand and then compared it with Theresa's. She smiled and said, "You're as tall as an adult like Mobius, right?"

Theresa felt her anger rising. She hated when people made fun of her height.

Was it her fault that she didn't grow taller? She had no control over it!

"Hey, Luna, come here, sister wants to play with you!" Elysia called out, ignoring Theresa's glare.

She turned her head and saw Luna standing nearby. She fixed her eyes on her with a mischievous expression.

Luna tilted her head with a puzzled look. "Human, what do you want Luna to play with?" She asked.

Elysia chuckled and said nothing. She had a wicked plan in mind.

Luna walked towards her slowly, but as soon as she came within Elysia's reach, she was scooped up in a hug.

Elysia cuddled her close and rubbed her face against Luna's hair. She smelled the sweet fragrance of her hair and whispered:

"I'm so happy to have you here. You're the perfect addition to this story. The last time I missed you, it made Pink Elf -sama cry for a long time! Screenwriters, bad!?"

Kallen looked at Elysia with disbelief. She whispered to Luo Mo, "She's a little too self-conscious too, isn't she? And, you just told her everything about Luna?"

Luo Mo nodded and said, "She may seem crazy, but she's trustworthy. If it were anyone else, I would have been more careful. But with Elysia, you don't have to worry."

Kallen felt confused by Luo Mo's words. She didn't see how he could trust Elysia so easily.

She looked at Elysia, who was having fun with Theresa and Luna. She seemed like a playful and harmless young girl, but was she really?

...

After a while of playing around.

"Okay, I'm going back to my friends now?" Elysia announced, sounding happy. She walked away casually, as if she had just enjoyed a stroll.

"Theresa, Luna, I'll come back to play with you again, okay!?" She added, waving at them.

"Ahhhhh, you mean woman, stay away from us!" Theresa yelled, holding a pillow in her hand. She wanted to throw it at Elysia, but she restrained herself, thinking it was rude.

She had been the target of Elysia's jokes for a long time, but she couldn't get really mad at her. Elysia knew how to balance her humor, making it hard for Theresa to retaliate.

When she tried to resist Elysia's hug, she found out that she was much stronger than she looked.

This made Theresa feel both angry and amazed.

Luna joined Theresa in protesting against Elysia. "No, that's right, bad human, stay away from me and sister Theresa!" She cried out from behind Theresa.

She could tell that Elysia meant no harm, but she was too overbearing for her liking. She always put two fruits on her head, making fun of her horns(she doesn't have that tho). Luna felt annoyed by her actions, even though she was no longer a vampire.

But she didn't really despise Elysia. She was curious about her.

She peeked at Elysia with her red eyes under the moonlight, but quickly looked away when Elysia noticed her and gave her a sly grin.

Elysia chuckled softly and decided to leave them alone. She turned to Fu Hua and gave her a meaningful look.

"Hua, or should I say, Fu Hua, don't forget to visit us often, okay? We'll always be waiting for you!" She said.

"Uh-huh!" Fu Hua nodded slightly and turned to Kallen. "Lord Bishop, I'm going with her!" She announced.

...

Theresa was shocked and angry by the pink-haired woman's actions. She ran to Kallen and hugged her, complaining. "Who was that woman? How could she do that to me?" She pouted.

Kallen stroked Theresa's white hair to calm her down. "She came here with Luo Mo." She said.

Theresa looked at Luo Mo with suspicion. She wondered why he trusted that woman.

Luo Mo saw her look and smirked. He changed the subject to something more embarrassing for Theresa. "Don't you have something to explain to us? What were you doing with Luna today?" He asked.

Theresa blushed and fidgeted in Kallen's arms. She tried to avoid his gaze.

She whispered, "I didn't know you would come, Grandma! I was just joking around with Luna."

Kallen was not amused by her excuse. She poked Theresa's forehead with her finger.

Theresa winced and let go of Kallen. She felt guilty and ashamed.

Kallen stared at Luo Mo, who stood in front of her. She wanted to know more about the people he had brought with him.

She was not sure what his goal was, but she could feel that Schicksal's influence on him was weakening.

She had seen Fu Hua obeying Luo Mo's commands for this mission, and she had felt a powerful pressure from the woman who had just left with him.

She had agreed to cooperate with him, but she felt like he was trying to control her. Now that the situation had changed, she needed to reassess Luo Mo's intentions.

Luo Mo hesitated, but decided to reveal some of the truth.

"They are from the previous era, as Fu Hua told you. Do you remember the POV that was broadcasted before? You should recognize at least one of them."

Kallen thought for a moment. She remembered seeing a familiar face among the strangers. "You mean... Eden?" She asked.

Luo Mo nodded. "Yes, Eden. She's one of them."

Kallen frowned. She was confused and curious. "They are really from the previous era? How did they..." She trailed off, wondering how they had survived and what they wanted.

"The World Serpent is an organization left over from the last civilization." Luo Mo just pointed this out and did not elaborate more.

Kallen felt unsure about them. She asked him cautiously, "Then they are all trustworthy?" She needed to know if she could trust them.

Luo Mo answered honestly. "They are all loyal to the cause of fighting Honkai. But the only one who never lies or betrays is the one who just left with me."

He didn't have any secrets in that matter.

He admitted that he wanted to use the Heroes to get rid of Schicksal control, but that didn't mean he was trying to defect from Schicksal.

He just wanted to make the original agreement of cooperation more real.

Luo Mo shared his reason for working with the World Serpent. "They have the knowledge and experience of the previous civilizations. They can help us fight Honkai more effectively." He said.

Kallen agreed with him, but she didn't say it out loud.

She knew that the World Serpent had proven their value, and that their common goal was to defeat Honkai.

She changed the topic to something that bothered her. "By the way, did Otto really conduct that experiment?" She asked, her voice shaking slightly.

Luo Mo strangely glanced at Kallen, not understanding why she asked this kind of question, but she saw her expression was depressed and her eyes were a bit downcast.

"I've made you laugh," Kallen took a deep breath, her eyes looked blankly ahead as if she was looking at images from the past.

She remembered a scene from five hundred years ago, when she saw a person who was very different from the video. It was like she was split in half.

Theresa heard her question and felt angry too. "Grandma, you're right, that Otto is a terrible person!" She said.

She despised the Otto in the game. He was a cruel and evil man, who hurt Kiana and Himeko.

Kallen sighed and caressed Theresa's head.

Luo Mo didn't reply. He understood that she didn't expect an answer. She just wanted to vent.
