Chapter 579

Miss Yayi and Raven returned to the Elysian Realm lobby.

Miss Miss Paduo followed them as they left.

Through Miss Miss Paduo, Miss Yayi and the others learned a bit about that new Flame-Chaser—Griseo.

At the same time, the players also learned that Kosma isn't as cold and aloof as Kevin; he just likes to overthink and doesn't like to talk.

They also learned that after Elysia touched Miss Yayi's horns, she was genuinely happy for an entire day.

Right now, she was holding a megaphone and shouting everywhere—【Miss Yayi agreed to let me touch her horns~~ I finally got to touch Miss Yayi's horns~】.

Miss Yayi: "... Elysia!!"

Although Elysia was shouting everywhere with a megaphone, besides Raven, there were only the memories of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers in the Elysian Realm.

Moreover, those Flame-Chasers weren't interested in this matter.

Therefore, while it could be said Elysia was broadcasting it everywhere, it wasn't actually anything malicious.

It was just Elysia's optimistic personality at work; she was just amusing herself.

But an Elysia like this really makes one feel she is incredibly playful and cute.

And Miss Yayi wasn't truly angry at Elysia.

By comparison, she felt that figuring out how to get to the 【Deep】 was the most important thing.

"Hi~ Miss Yayi, you're back~"

"How was it? Was it pleasant spending time with Aponia? Do you have any little stories to share with me?"

Miss Yayi: "..."

Seeing Elysia again, Miss Yayi was somewhat speechless.

Her horns had been touched, yet the path Elysia helped open didn't lead to the 【Deep】.

Therefore, seeing Elysia now, Miss Yayi still felt a bit of lingering resentment.

"Oh... you don't look very happy. Your horns have turned red from anger. Did something go wrong somewhere?"

Miss Yayi: "..."

She took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible: "Yes... something did go wrong."

"Raven and I didn't reach the Deep at all."

Saying this, Miss Yayi looked quite a bit like a disgruntled wife.

After all, in her view, the method to reach the Deep was something she had "traded her body for."

Yet she had been played by Elysia.

After listening to Miss Yayi's complaint, Elysia explained it to her.

As it turned out, that 【World within the painting】 was the necessary path to reach the Deep.

So, Elysia hadn't led them the wrong way; it was just that how to pass through that 【World within the painting】 was a problem Miss Yayi and the others needed to consider.

Just as Miss Yayi was feeling troubled, Miss Miss Paduo sought her out again, swearing that she could take Miss Yayi on a side path that could quietly bypass Kosma's obstruction.

Miss Yayi: "..."

"Since that's the case, why didn't you just take me directly to the Deep? Surely that's the only place that doesn't have this 'side path' you speak of?"

Hearing this question, Miss Miss Paduo awkwardly scratched her cheek: "This... how should I put it..."

"If it were just Kosma getting angry, I'd at most just have to deal with the consequences."

"But if I took you to the Deep and Kalpas-ge and Aponia-jie found out... I'd really be torn into 【Miss Miss Paduo】 and 【Felis】..."

【Hahaha...】

【Damn... there are just too many iconic moments in this plot, I can't hold it in, hahaha...】

【《Horns turned red from anger》《Miss Miss Paduo, who can't afford to offend anyone, Felis》...】

【I can just imagine the scene of Elysia holding a megaphone and shouting "I touched Miss Yayi's horns", hahaha...】

【Elysia is really too playful and likable QAQ】

【I hope this kind of happy plot can continue forever.】

【Did you see that, Otto you dog? Just keep writing like this, stop with the tragedy (warning).】

【Don't be blinded by appearances, brothers. Have you forgotten that you can die in the Elysian Realm? The plot definitely won't be this simple.】

【Indeed, look at Kalpas and Mobius; these two Flame-Chasers are very dangerous, I feel like there's a problem.】

【Yes, yes, yes, and Miss Yayi was just agonizing over how to get to the Deep, and Miss Miss Paduo showed up the next second...】

【Does the person above mean... Miss Miss Paduo has a problem?】

【That possibility can't be ruled out. After all, she's a Flame-Chaser, a Fusion Warrior. Her panicked look might just be an act. It's called—hiding one's true strength. Could there be some conspiracy?】

The barrage discussion was quite heated.

And the players' suspicions were actually understandable, given the significant information gap.

In this recent segment of the plot, although joy was revealed everywhere, if one thought about it deeply, there really were some issues.

From the beginning of the Elysian Realm anomalies to Miss Yayi meeting Aponia later...

Up until now, Miss Yayi looking for a way to reach the 【Deep】.

If you string these events together, you will find that Elysia's shadow has been present in this series of events all along.

Whenever Miss Yayi has a problem, Elysia pops up to guide her.

The first time was telling Miss Yayi to find Miss Miss Paduo.

The second time was touching her horns to help Miss Yayi open the path to the 【Deep】.

The result was that the path was opened, but it didn't send Miss Yayi to the 【Deep】; instead, it made Miss Yayi meet a new Flame-Chaser.

And now, Miss Yayi is troubled again, but Miss Miss Paduo shows up and says she can take Miss Yayi on a side path...

Such coincidental events make the players have to be suspicious.

Moreover, from the first time Miss Yayi met Elysia, this woman has shown unparalleled enthusiasm toward Miss Yayi.

Is there really such a person in this world? Opening her heart completely to someone she just met?

No! Absolutely not!

Usually, someone this enthusiastic definitely has some kind of purpose.

【Could it be that Elysia has some goal and is intentionally guiding Miss Yayi?】

【Could it be... that Elysia in the game is a "pink-haired schemer"?】

【Could it be that Miss Miss Paduo showing up was also directed by Elysia?】

Thinking about it this way, many players found it hard to believe.

After all, the Elysia in reality is an incredibly enthusiastic, cute, and kind-hearted girl.

But... it might not be the same in the game.

After all, it's normal for artistic works to have some changes...

Therefore, even if they knew Elysia wasn't a "pink-haired schemer," they still couldn't help but think of the Elysia in the game in that direction.

【No way... Elysia is definitely not a black-hearted bad woman QAQ】

【Hahaha... I actually think it's very possible~ With Elysia's playful nature, maybe she really wants to be a villain for once?】

【I disagree... If Mihuyou wanted Elysia to be a villain, Elysia would definitely say: "Do you really have the heart... to make a girl as beautiful as a delicate flower act as a big villain?" No.】

【The person above... you really understand Elysia...】

【Ahem... if Elysia really is a big villain, I would absolutely never attack her (righteous and confident~)】
