Hmph hmph, let Elysia see what you were hiding~
Playing the role of a 'female robber,' ER Elysia, half shy and half excited, 'pried open the lock' to get the 'goods' she wanted.
Then, she began browsing with great interest.
Oh, it's Mobius's lab... Hmm, it really looks exactly the same as before, how nostalgic... ER Elysia scanned the familiar laboratory and face within the memory, feeling a touch nostalgic.
After all, not long after joining the organization back then, she had secretly snuck into Mobius's lab to get the medal she desired. Compared to later times, Mobius's lab had changed so much. Even for her now, the time before Mobius shrank into her smaller form was a past worth reminiscing about.
...Collecting experimental materials?
Hmm... knowing Mobius's personality, that's not really surprising.
ER Elysia thought, observing the judgment within the memory, not paying it too much mind initially. She simply watched the Mobius in the memory through Jiang Qiao's perspective with a smile.
And then...
He was pushed down.
"Eh?"
Seeing Mobius pinning her down, much like she herself had just pinned Jiang Qiao, ER Elysia was momentarily stunned. She looked up at the alluring, mature figure licking her lips slowly approaching.
Simultaneously, ER Elysia felt another layer of memory—a different perspective from the same event. Both Mobius's and Jiang Qiao's memories and feelings during the 'collection' activity became part of her through this 'experience'.
"You, you, you... you...!"
The moment the usually bold ER Elysia snapped back to reality, she stared down at Jiang Qiao beneath her, her pupils practically quaking. Her face turned incredibly red, as if steam was about to pour out!
Although various factors allowed her to accept kissing, even initiating something more aggressive when feeling particularly playful, Elysia herself still felt shy when doing such things.
Shy... yet excited...
However, ER Elysia's actions were clearly limited to that stage.
After all, even as a 50,000-year-old veteran, even with her reputation as the Elysian Realm's resident Lesbians enthusiast, she wasn't actually that different from the original Elysia, at least emotionally. Just like her appearance suggested, she was still undeniably a young maiden at heart.
Therefore, when she saw... no, when this 'special memory' was pried out and 'consumed' by ER Elysia, essentially experiencing it firsthand, Miss Elysia was undoubtedly shocked.
That kind of thing... that kind of thing...
Of course, ER Elysia knew about that. She was technically an adult, after all. No matter how much she claimed to be a pure maiden, curiosity would lead her to 'accidentally' stumble upon strange films or videos sometimes.
But seeing... no, experiencing it like this, especially from a dual perspective, and with the main characters being her closest companions, still caused ER Elysia's mind to crash.
"Honestly, you didn't need to see this."
Jiang Qiao sounded resigned. Because his body was often used by other girls, he had deliberately made a rudimentary attempt to 'hide' this memory out of consideration for the potential impact. But ER Elysia had just forcibly 'pried' it open.
Ugh... maybe I shouldn't have indulged Mobius back then, which could have prevented this current awkward situation...
"You still dare to talk!"
ER Elysia instantly puffed up, blushing with annoyance. "You actually did such a naughty thing with Mobius behind my past self's back..."
It was a good thing she found out early! If she hadn't pried it out, wouldn't her original self have been kept in the dark forever?!
Although it concerned her original self, as Elysia's memory construct, Miss Elysian Realm Elysia undoubtedly felt a very close connection to her counterpart. Therefore, this matter clearly concerned her too.
Especially since the one who did it was Mobius...
And Elysia always considered her a good sister!
Even for a 50,000-year-old veteran, ER Elysia felt genuine anger towards this shameful act of 'stealing a bite'.
If Mobius had been upfront about it, fine, for the sake of sisterhood, maybe she could have considered it. But to keep Elysia in the dark and secretly 'devour' this bad boy...
Unforgivable! This fairy cannot tolerate this!
Adhering to the principle that patience only fuels anger, ER Elysia pouted, her cheeks puffed out.
"No, I have to go find Mobius!"
The next moment, a sweet, somewhat affected, childish voice echoed in the air:
"Oh my, it seems I heard someone calling my name."
"What's wrong, Elysia? You look so angry. Did someone upset you~?" Looking up, they saw ER Mobius standing on her Segway-like transporter. She approached with a smile, teasing Elysia.
"Hmph hmph~ If something's bothering you, why not tell me about it? I'm quite interested~ Let me have some fun too~"
"Mobius!"
Hearing the teasing words, the enraged Miss Elysian Realm Elysia lost her usual calm composure and glared fiercely at Mobius.
"Why did you come here?"
"Hmph hmph, do you even need to ask? Since our 'other' Miss 'Elysia' has graced the Elysian Realm with another visit, as the owner of this Golden Courtyard, I naturally need to extend some hospitality~"
"You see, I'm extremely curious about our Mr. Jiang Qiao here~"
"But seeing how angry you look, perhaps I came at a bad time~ Hmm hmm... Why are you staring at me so fiercely? I can get scared too, you know~ Don't you need to maintain your sweet maiden persona~?"
"Or perhaps~ my past self did something... that displeased you~" Mobius rode her transporter past Elysia, glancing at Jiang Qiao with a smile. Her sharp perception immediately picked up on subtle clues.
"How dare you say that! Going behind my original self's back and stealing..."
ER Elysia practically grit her teeth. That was the first time! And it was just quietly 'stolen' by this lewd snake without a word.
If Elysia herself had done it, it might have been more acceptable. Hmm... her past self probably could have accepted it too, since they were both Elysia~ But Mobius... Arrrgh!
However, halfway through her outburst, Elysia realized this specific incident didn't really involve the Mobius standing before her, so she quickly stopped herself.
"Oh~" Mobius showed a flicker of interest. She was intensely curious now.
After all, this annoying woman was notoriously difficult to handle. Mobius herself had tried to take Elysia down a peg before, but avoiding certain absolute no-go pressure points, she usually ended up on the losing side in their clashes... no, she always lost.
So, what could her past self have possibly done to make this woman show such an irrational, teeth-grinding reaction?
She studied Elysia with fascination, noticing the blush on her cheeks, then glanced at Jiang Qiao—who seemed relatively calm.
...Steal...
Wait a minute... Could it be...
A certain possibility flashed through Mobius's mind, bringing a faint pink hue to her own cheeks, but mostly fueling her curiosity to uncover the truth.
"Hmph hmph~ Little guinea pig~ Come a little closer now~"
"I feel like taking a closer look at your face."
Jiang Qiao didn't understand why but didn't refuse.
And then...
While ER Elysia was still confused and before she could even ask, Mobius cupped Jiang Qiao's face and... bit down, kissing him.
In that instant, the Elysian Realm's 55kg Miss Elysia's eyes went wide, her mind blank.
Hey! Hey! I'm still here! Elysia is still right here!
Witnessing this blatant act of 'cheating right in front of the wife', Miss Elysian Realm Elysia's feelings undoubtedly exploded.
"Mo! Bi! Us!"
The 55kg Miss Elysia's reaction clearly delighted Mobius, who released Jiang Qiao. She licked her lips, stuck out her pink tongue provocatively, and said with feigned regret:
"Oh dear~ What a pity. I thought I might be able to take over this body~"
"However, I did manage to acquire something interesting~ Hmph hmph~ So that's how it was~"
"How was it~ Elysia? My technique~ It should feel pretty good, right?" Mobius rode her transporter up beside Elysia, asking flippantly.
"...." ER Elysia's anger meter shot up. Staring at that wildly taunting face, she felt her fists clenching for the first time. But she was so angry she didn't know what to say—especially after 'experiencing' it from Mobius's perspective, which made her incredibly embarrassed and flustered.
"Alright, I've got what I wanted, so I won't waste any more time here. I imagine you're not exactly welcoming me anyway."
"What a convenient method~ I think I understand my original self's thinking a little better now."
"Oh, and by the way~ the 'taste' was quite nice~"
"If you're interested, you're welcome to drop by my place too~"
With that final, outrageous provocation, Mobius departed with a girlish laugh.
For her, this was an unexpected bonus. After all, any version of Mobius was undeniably an old maid, practically ancient in that regard. Although Mobius didn't actually care much about such worldly matters, using this opportunity to acquire desired experimental material and infuriate her most 'detested' woman, seeing that rare teeth-gritting expression—it was a total win!
Not to mention, for her, this 'memory(SIM)' itself could serve as a form of 'recreation'. Since the Mobius in the Elysian Realm was a memory construct, as long as she 'digested' this memory, it could become part of her. And because they shared the same origin, it wouldn't be just a simple 'experience' like ER Elysia had.
Miss Snake was extremely interested in this. After all, to accommodate the Flame-Chasers, the Elysian Realm boasted high fidelity, including a concept of fatigue. While not very pronounced for memory constructs like them, necessary relaxation was still needed. Of course, she usually just soaked in her lab... or occasionally went to tease Klein.
But now, it seemed she had a new pastime.
Just update her own state with this memory from her original self... Hmph hmph~ Feels pretty good~
Mobius was already planning to do just that the next time she met Elysia~
That's what you get for annoying me, liking to stuff little dresses in my cabinets. Watch me 'devour' your 'little boyfriend' right here!
Miss Snake felt absolutely no shame about this. She only felt delight and wanted to escalate things further. Unfortunately, ER Elysia had clearly reached her limit. This made Mobius discard the idea of 'reviewing' the material right there in front of her.
After Mobius left, ER Elysia stared gloomily at the remaining person.
"How did Mobius taste?"
"Alright," Jiang Qiao answered truthfully. It all felt the same, really. The softness was similar, and the taste... didn't seem much different either. Especially since he was always the one being 'pried open'. He felt rather helpless about it. Why did both of them always resort to force? If they just wanted the memories, gentler methods could work too.
But clearly, for both ER Elysia and Mobius, besides obtaining what they wanted, they enjoyed the 'process' itself even more.
While he could understand it to some extent, Jiang Qiao couldn't help feeling like he was being treated as some kind of kinky toy.
Hearing Jiang Qiao's answer, ER Elysia smiled with satisfaction.
Then—
With a wave of her hand, she bound him tightly with pink energy ropes and dragged him back to her room.
So you like being 'collected as experimental material', huh?
Fine, then Elysia will 'collect' her fill!
Anyway, the first taste is gone, Elysia isn't 'pure' anymore.
In that case, I'll return all those 'techniques' from that memory right back to you, you bad boy!
Prepare yourself, Elysia demands it!
