Chat Group: Starting by Body Swapping with Elysia? - Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Mei Killed the Competition
***
Having to ask others how to use your own body, what an absurd situation this truly was!
But at this very moment, it was indeed happening.
If this were a different setting, what would follow would probably be a six-episode hypnosis series… oh wait, the correct term should be a Pink Elf special!
Looking at the anxious pink-haired girl whose gaze kept darting away, after a soft sigh, he revealed a smile that the former knew all too well. Gentle words rang out beside the elf-like girl’s ear:
“Elysia, you never need to understand this.”
“You…”
Elysia seemed to want to say something more, but the former raised an index finger and pressed it against her lips.
This somewhat intimate scene made her retreat slightly, but the young man’s clear, sincere eyes didn’t move away one bit.
After several breaths, she finally turned her head away in escape.
“Really, saying things like that makes it very hard to tell who the real Elysia is, doesn’t it?”
“Saying such things to a beautiful girl means you have to take responsibility!”
Miss Pink Elf said huffily, her ears slightly red.
“And also, is it really okay?”
People often say that eyes are the medium of the soul.
In this brief moment of eye contact, these two seemed to have conveyed much information they would never have thought of originally.
If one had to describe it, this was probably the understanding between “Elysia” and 【Elysia】.
“Of course. As long as you’re willing, I can do it!”
The young man named Jiang Qiao smiled and opened his palm.
There was nothing there, yet he was incredibly confident.
“Mm, there probably isn’t much time left… suddenly switching back was beyond my expectations.”
“Sorry, now I’m afraid I’ll have to borrow your body temporarily again.”
“Can you… entrust your body to me?”
Though the words were spoken gently, they made Miss Pink Elf glare at him.
“Making such a request to a girl is far too rude! Of course, since you’re being so sincere, how could a beautiful girl refuse?”
“But… you haven’t already become addicted to the feeling of being a beautiful girl, have you? That’s not allowed. Although being a boy feels quite nice, I don’t want to stay a boy forever!”
With teasing words, after an extremely brief contact, the two’s gazes underwent slight fluctuations.
“Of course~ that’s impossible! It’s merely due to the influence of the flesh. I don’t have such hobbies.”
Lightly tapping her own head with her joined index finger, Jiang Qiao, who had once again become 【Elysia】, smiled with a hint of annoyance.
Choosing to become Miss Pink Elf again was also out of necessity!
It wasn’t because he liked it, but because if he wanted to break through the Previous Era, he had to use this naturally born Herrscher body!
Moreover, to deal with two little troubles, he also had to use the original Herrscher of Origin.
Although due to compatibility and various other issues, he had obtained some of the Origin’s authority.
But as mentioned before, those were just “little ones” — they were incomplete!
Only by using Elysia’s body again could he use the complete power of the Herrscher of Origin as Elysia!
This was like computer configuration.
Elysia’s body had already been configured with the Origin’s authority. Although Jiang Qiao’s CPU was very powerful, before his own body was also configured, he had to be in the hardware carrier of 【Elysia】 to unleash his full performance.
“I don’t have much time left, so… Raiden Mei and Kiana Kaslana, in the remaining time, could we have a good chat?”
The smiling pink-haired girl looked toward the door, at the two figures trying to conceal their traces but appearing somewhat flustered.
They’ve been discovered!
“Really, eavesdropping on other people’s conversations is very bad behavior!”
Elysia beside him watched her own body display a helpless girlish expression. Though she had already experienced it and even been confronted face-to-face to the point of getting heated.
Still, she couldn’t help but feel the impulse to ask this question—
Why are you so skilled at this!
Kiana and Mei, who had been caught, walked out very awkwardly.
Because they were extremely curious about what was going on with those two people, they had come over to eavesdrop.
Of course, this was Kiana’s idea.
Originally, Mei disagreed, but she couldn’t resist the white-haired fluffball’s words, which were like the devil’s whispers.
In the end, she succumbed to her own curiosity and did such an immoral thing (tragic).
Unfortunately, they had arrived somewhat too late and hadn’t heard much useful information.
They hadn’t even been eavesdropping for long before being caught by Jiang Qiao.
“Alright, don’t make such expressions. Curiosity is human nature, I forgive you~”
“Back to the main topic—”
“Oh my, I almost forgot the self-introduction!”
The pink-haired girl suddenly clapped her hands with an annoyed expression, but soon this annoyance transformed into a smile:
“But it’s fine. The story’s prologue can begin now too. You won’t mind, right?”
The changes within a few breaths displayed a girl’s demeanor to perfection, making even Elysia beside her somewhat dumbfounded.
“Well then, let me introduce myself first. My name is 【Elysia】, a girl as mysterious as a fairy, as gorgeous as a fluttering flower, a beautiful gir—”
That’s enough!
Miss Pink Elf’s teeth grinding could now be heard by everyone.
Miss Elf, I’m already somewhat gritting my teeth at you!
“Ahem, let me introduce the person beside me as well. His name is 【Jiang Qiao】. As you can see, he’s a very handsome guy.”
“Tch, clearly just a playboy!”
The white-haired fluffball muttered quietly. Hearing this, Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow.
He glanced at Elysia.
Fine, fine, fine, ruining my reputation while I’m away, huh?
I’m remembering this grudge!
“Due to some special reasons, he and I have experienced a 【body swap】. I think you should have seen similar movies and shows?”
“Huh? Really?”
Kiana directly exclaimed in surprise.
Although she had been wandering outside, she had also seen quite a few similar films and shows.
But she never expected it would actually happen right before her eyes.
“No need to be too surprised. Haven’t you already seen mages and magical girls before?”
“…So, the one who was with us before was a fake Jiang Qiao?”
Compared to the surprised Kiana, Mei was certainly also surprised, but she focused more on the information Jiang Qiao had revealed.
“That’s right.”
Looking at the pink-haired girl who admitted it frankly, Mei, who was somewhat confused, looked at this 【Elysia】 who seemed even more “Jiang Qiao-like” than the Jiang Qiao who had been by her side before. Unable to distinguish between them, she asked a question that could kill the competition:
“So… that means you’re the real Elysia?”
At this moment, Elysia cried.
