Although Elysia was incredibly enthusiastic about getting Mobius drunk and tricking her into wearing little skirts—after all, while there were fruits of a certain Mr. Jiang's labor before, seeing them through photos, and not having taken them or witnessed them herself, always left a feeling of non-participation—
Still, when it came to alcohol, though Mobius smiled sweetly, Miss Eden's expression became somewhat subtle.
After all, the last time they drank, a rather... inappropriate incident occurred—hmm, a misunderstanding caused by drinking too much (assuredly).
"I'm not very good at drinking..."
Aponia—this very self-disciplined clergywoman, much like her ascetic appearance suggested, politely declined to participate in this drinking party.
Elysia, though regretful, didn't force the issue.
After all, forcing others to do things wasn't her style... hmm, Bad Jiang Qiao doesn't count! The reason is because he's bad. Besides, she never forced that rascal... that's called punishment! Punishment from the angry fairy!
After Aponia left, although they lost one big-titted nun, with Vill-V present, this drinking party would clearly still be lively.
"Eden and I bought lots and lots during the day~"
Elysia hugged the exquisite wine bottle, rubbing against it affectionately.
Although as visitors from another world, not native here, she didn't possess this world's currency—the Energy Coins circulated by the Glamoth Empire, a condensed product of Imaginary energy—making her utterly penniless.
But the very considerate Miss Firefly had clearly anticipated this and, for various reasons, approved a hefty expense fund for them.
Perhaps it was rent for the 'temporary requisition of a fully automatic, work-use, living massage cushion (internal use model)'? Of course, it could also be the labor compensation received by a certain highly skilled Master Jiang after completing his service.
Speaking of which, perhaps due to being Empress for so long, ruling for a long time had made her much more black-hearted. This Empress, developing somewhat towards the unscrupulous side, not only perfectly squeezed out every bit of utilization value from a certain Pal—having him handle her work while simultaneously helping her relieve work stress—but even charged a hefty 'deposit'...
Viewed from this angle, what Miss Elysia and Eden were squandering might very well be someone's 'blood, sweat, and tears money'.
Oblivious, the pink elf excitedly hugged the wine bottle, slyly starting to fill cup after cup.
First, Bad Jiang Qiao, then Mobius!
She had it all planned out.
Use this opportunity to get Mobius drunk, then admire those exquisite little skirts. Then get Eden and Vill-V drunk, launch the 'Humiliate Bad Jiang Qiao Grand Plan,' fiercely retaliate against a certain rascal—finally, carry the drunken Mr. Jiang back to her room...
This was the Fairy Miss's meticulous itinerary!
However... ideals are plump, reality is bony.
Although a master planner, the mischievous Elysia seemed to have overlooked one other thing—what if she was the one who got drunk first?
Not considering this problem, the pink elf downed cup after cup, "Come on, Mobius, let's drink..."
"Eden, drink... Vill-V, drink together too! Bad Jiang Qiao, another cup!"
"Hic... I'm not drunk... drink!"
The tipsy Elysia staggered around, clutching the wine bottle, while Vill-V had already passed out first after getting too excited playing with magic while drinking.
"Little skirts..."
"Oh my, really~ Do you want to see me wear little skirts that badly?"
Swirling her wine glass, Mobius, maintaining her girlish form on the sofa, smiled sweetly at the pink elf who had passed out drunk, her smile laced with a captivating 'tease'.
"In that case, if I didn't let you see, it would make me seem stingy~ I wouldn't want people to think I'm a stingy person."
"Don't you agree?" Like a water snake, Miss Snake swiftly drew close, breathing warmly, her words hinting at something more.
"Elysia is already drunk..."
Jiang Qiao sounded helpless, glancing at Elysia passed out by his leg, attempting to deter the ill-intentioned snake.
"Hmph hmph~ Asleep, doesn't that make things more convenient?"
"...You guys really..." Miss Mobius's incredibly bold statement seemed to completely disregard the third sober person present—Eden squinted her tipsy, beautiful eyes, her lazy voice sounding in the air, tinged with subtlety and complexity.
"This... is not right."
She tried to admonish the two this way.
To this—Jiang Qiao looked helpless, which only further confirmed Eden's sense of correctness.
But Mobius merely scoffed.
Her actions grew even bolder.
"Yes~ it does seem rather inappropriate~ But what can I do? Who told me I'm a bad woman?"
"Anyway, in most people's eyes, isn't Mobius just a bad person?"
"Since that's the case, if I weren't thoroughly bad, wouldn't that be my loss~?"
"...In Elysia's eyes, she thinks you're a good person."
"That's why I have to prove her wrong~"
Eden was somewhat speechless.
Mobius directly displayed her lack of lower limits—I am a bad woman~
As long as I admit my depravity, I am invincible~
Miss Snake clearly implemented this action policy thoroughly, and her actions reflected it.
Miss Eden clearly disapproved of Mobius's undisguised 'shameless' behavior—yet strangely, she felt a bit envious of her.
After all, while it wasn't very moral, it was really exhilarating, wasn't it?
"Hehe~ Speaking of which, Eden, I've smelled your scent on him before, you know~"
"Seen this way, there doesn't seem to be much difference between us, right?"
"...That was a misunderstanding." Hearing Mobius's words, Eden subconsciously refuted.
"Oh~ so it was a misunderstanding..."
"But Eden, I didn't even specify what it was, why are you so eager to refute?"
Mobius smiled sweetly, expertly and methodically retrieving those clothes Elysia had carefully selected from somewhere. She cheerfully tried them on, compared them, looked at herself in the mirror, all while teasing the tipsy Eden in a bantering tone.
The latter was somewhat speechless, only able to sullenly sip the sparkling wine in her cup, watching Mobius's increasingly unrestrained behavior after changing into the little skirt Elysia had meticulously chosen.
...This is wrong.
Eden admonished herself internally—but her gentle nature prevented her from stopping the other's shameless actions... after all, she had done similar things herself. Though not as excessive as Mobius, the elder sister clearly couldn't criticize the second sister...
She could only watch intently, criticizing it morally in her heart.
But... alcohol is like that; the more you drink, the messier your heart gets, the hotter your heart becomes.
Witnessing the entire 'eagle catching the chick' process was clearly considerable pressure for Eden.
Especially since, for Eden, Jiang Qiao as 'Ely' held a special psychological position.
It was like witnessing the goddess in her heart being put through gymnastic routines by someone else. Although it seemed reversed now, no matter how you put it, this was clearly too much... Eden's feelings were incredibly complex.
She gulped down her wine, feeling it might be better if she just got drunk—until... Mobius issued an invitation with a sweet smile.
"Want... to join in?"
That smile, combined with what they were about to do, was simply demonic, her sweet voice filled with temptation.
But... how could this be acceptable?
Elysia was right beside them. Eden glanced at Elysia sleeping soundly nearby, then looked at Mobius who issued the invitation, her mood terrible.
This is immoral!
To this, Mobius just chuckled.
If you don't join, plenty of others will~
She was simply in a good mood, seeing Eden drinking tipsily nearby, almost resorting to venting her frustrations in some online space, so she issued the well-intentioned invitation.
However, after a moment, Eden, looking conflicted while glancing at Elysia, seemed to have finally made a decision—
Amidst Miss Snake's mocking smile, the rich lady tipsily joined the battlefield.
Don't ask, the answer is: she was drunk.
Besides... Eden thought it over and realized this might not be immoral, but rather a helpless, last resort.
After all, Mobius was a bad woman!
Could she really stand by and watch 'Ely' be ravaged by a bad woman like Mobius?
No, that's absolutely not allowed!
But Elysia was passed out now. The only one left who could defend Qiao was herself, right?
To defend the 'Ely' in her heart, and also to help her best friend Elysia, Eden could only resolutely choose to temporarily replace the incapacitated pink elf, helping her secure the high ground for now.
And this occupation wasn't ordinary occupation, but critical occupation!
It was supervisory occupation.
Qiao being criticized by both her and Mobius together was better than being monopolized by the latter, right?
Eden, I am the embodiment of Elysia's will. What does this mean? It means, if I do it, it's as if Elysia did it too.
Thus, with Eden joining the fray, the second misunderstanding occurred.
"..."
Vill-V, passed out drunk, lay on a nearby sofa, seemingly fast asleep, but her slightly flushed cheeks... hmm, probably due to the alcohol.
Simultaneously, Aponia, who hadn't participated in the drinking party and had returned to look for something she left behind, also witnessed this scene after hearing the noisy sounds, her eyes widening.
---||---
Although it was a somewhat eventful night, fortunately—Elysia slept very soundly.
She had a sweet dream.
In the dream, she and Bad Jiang Qiao were on a happy two-person trip. Whenever she felt like it, she would fiercely 'D' that rascal a bunch, and the latter could only obediently beg for mercy, then get caught by her and 'D'd' a bunch more—... It was supposed to be a sweet dream, but unfortunately, somehow, this beautiful dream turned into a nightmare.
The reason was a flood; it washed over the happy her, leaving her drenched, and Bad Jiang Qiao was washed away somewhere... there was also the smell of seafood...
"Ngh..."
The next day, the youthful sunlight pierced her eyes, waking Elysia who had slept comfortably through the night. She stretched languidly, still sleepy-eyed.
"Hm? Wasn't I drinking with Eden and the others..." Somewhat hazy about the previous night, she looked around the room's layout, puzzled—then saw Jiang Qiao and subconsciously asked:
"Bad Jiang Qiao, what are you doing here?"
"You drank too much. I brought you back."
"Oh... so that's how it was..." Understanding dawned, mixed with some satisfaction. Elysia's mood improved—Hmph, rascal, you knew enough to bring me back.
However, feeling refreshed, she found it strange:
"Did I... take a bath?"
"...Mm."
"I knew it..."
"Wait... you bathed me?" Realizing something, Elysia's cheeks flushed slightly, quite nervous.
"Eden did."
"Oh, it was Eden..." Hearing it was Eden who bathed her, though relieved, there was also a hint of disappointment. She pouted grumpily: "Why bother Eden... couldn't you have just bathed me yourself..."
"She offered initiative."
"Oh..."
Suddenly remembering something, Elysia quickly patted herself down, asking warily:
"You didn't do anything strange to me while I was drunk, right?!"
"No."
Jiang Qiao answered truthfully—he didn't have the time.
Dealing with those two was troublesome enough; how could he have time to touch the soundly sleeping Elysia?
Of course... he definitely didn't do anything strange, but that Mobius fellow...
Thinking of something, Mr. Jiang's expression turned subtle as he looked at Elysia's face.
Hearing 'no,' Elysia was both relieved and somewhat unhappy.
—Relief, naturally, needs no explanation. Although she wouldn't mind if someone made a move, if possible, Elysia certainly hoped to be more clear-headed to experience this important first time.
Moreover—she wanted to be the dominant one!
Hmm, don't ask, the reason is to declare sovereignty!
After all, wouldn't that show her higher status in the relationship?
But... I was drunk and you didn't make a move... Are you even a man?! Thinking of this factor, Elysia felt annoyed again.
Elysia practically served herself up, and you did nothing... Hmph, looks like Elysia will have to take matters into her own hands.
Extremely conflicted, fully demonstrating feminine contradiction, Miss Pink Elf hovered between happiness and anger, then... suddenly remembered something and cried out: "Aiya!"
"How could I have gotten drunk!"
She looked annoyed, regretful:
"I didn't even get to see Mobius in her little skirt..."
