Chat Group: Starting by Swapping Bodies with Elysia?

What a strange person.

That was the thought that Sin couldn't help but have when she saw Elysia.

As a Stigmata bearer, in addition to granting her a certain degree of time manipulation, her Stigmata also gave Sin the special ability to see the sins in other people's souls.

But, Sin had never told this secret to anyone.

She liked Bronya a lot, not just because of their time in the orphanage, but also because her soul was extremely pure.

Sin actually didn't hate Seele. She was just jealous that she had Bronya's attention. Even the color of that soul she admired had changed because of that coward.

That change should be a good one, right?

For a long time, she had tried to view the relationship between Bronya and Seele this way.

But, the moment Seele left, everything changed.

At first, she was even shamefully happy.

After all, Seele's departure also meant that Bronya's side was now empty.

However.

When she saw Bronya's dull soul, Sin knew that she would probably never be able to replace that coward in Bronya's heart.

How outrageous, it changed so much just because of that coward's departure.

It wasn't until a long time later, when Mother Cocolia told Bronya that there was a way to save Seele, that Sin saw that original heart-fluttering soul color again.

Therefore, even though she was very jealous of that coward, even though she had to help Mother Cocolia do such outrageous things, she still wanted to save that coward.

No matter what, it was better for everyone from the orphanage to be together, right?

But the man in front of her—

Sin looked at Elysia, who was using Jiang Qiao's appearance, her eyes filled with a trace of confusion.

Of course, it was impossible for her to see through the fact that the person's inner self was actually a girl.

But, Elysia's pure soul did indeed shock Sin.

"Does such a pure human being really exist in this world?"

While doubting softly, Sin had no intention of stopping.

No matter how dazzling the person's soul was, it didn't matter for what she had to do!

She wanted to save Bronya, save Seele, and respond to Mother Cocolia's expectations.

Anything that stood in her way could just be killed!

—The Titans that Sin brought did indeed bring great trouble to Elysia and them.

These steel monsters were simply not something ordinary humans could contend with.

"Ugh, these big guys' shells are way too hard!"

Kiana, who had flipped over to dodge a Titan's heavy punch, panted and cursed angrily while staring at the big guy in front of her:

"You only know how to hide inside your turtle shells! If you've got the guts, come out and fight me!"

Of course, there was no response, because the Titans that Sin had brought were models that didn't require a pilot.

But from this, you could tell that the white-haired fluffball was really getting worked up.

Indeed, there was no way around it. She had put all her strength into a swing, and at best, the Titan had lost some paint or got a dent or something. The reaction force even made Kiana's hand bleed at the tiger's mouth.

Even with the electromagnetic hand cannon that Elysia had gotten from Jiang Qiao, it hardly did anything.

Mei was the worst. She used her heat-blade, and after a few hits, if there was a pilot inside the Titan, they'd be begging on their knees: "Master Mei, please stop scratching! Repainting is expensive!"

It was truly a clown moment.

"Hmph, stop wasting your energy! This is a war machine used against Honkai beasts. With those toys in your hands, you're just daydreaming if you think you can destroy a Titan!"

Sin mocked coldly while piloting a Titan.

Elysia, who was holding the electromagnetic catapult bow, sighed: "Indeed, this is quite troublesome. But we can't just stop here!"

"Since things have come to this—"

It's my turn, I summon my friend!

Emergency Help, activate!

Elysia: Fairy Lady, emergency help request! Come quick!

Yunyun: I'm here!

"Please help us, Miss Yunyun!"

Elysia made a playful gesture of cupping her hands together and shouting, though it looked a little strange with Jiang Qiao's current appearance.

"Huh? Who's Yunyun?"

Kiana and Mei were both confused, and even Sin, as the enemy, didn't understand:

"Did you lose your mind?"

Suddenly calling out a random name, that's what it looked like to others, right?

"And that's such a funny name. Humph, are you trying to make me laugh?"

"It's very rude to make fun of a girl's name, you know? Be careful you get struck by lightning, as punishment."

"Punishment? I don't know what that is! Titan, crush her—"

Sin, who didn't take her words to heart at all, was about to issue an attack order, but before she could even finish speaking, the entire underground parking lot was covered in blinding lightning, followed by the young, yet strong and clear voice of a girl:

"—Lightning Strike!"

Boom—

The blinding electricity dissipated. When Sin opened her eyes, she was puzzled by the sudden lightning, but when she saw the several Titans that were smoking, charred, and paralyzed, her pupils instantly shrank and she exclaimed in shock:

"...What's going on?"

While she was in shock,

Elysia went to Yunyun, who was holding a staff and wearing a mage hat, and commented while admiring the results, her eyes sparkling:

"Hm~ Amazing, Yunyun! You took down those big guys so easily."

"And Yunyun is actually such a cute beauty?"

"N-no, not at all."

Yunyun subconsciously took a few steps back. Even though she knew that the person in front of her was actually a girl from the group, she still kept a certain distance. Then, she said rather humbly, "I didn't expect them to be solved so easily either."

When she had arrived in this world and saw the Titans, she was shocked. So, she cautiously used her most proficient mid-level magic, Lightning Strike, and it turned out that she had taken down all these Titans in one go.

Kiana came over to the side. Looking at the petite Yunyun, who felt like she could take on ten of her, she said in disbelief:

"Huh? Was that lightning just now from this person?"

You've got to be kidding me, can people really release electricity?

Subconsciously, she looked at Yunyun and was reminded of a certain electric mouse.

"Hm~ Let me introduce you, Yunyun is my friend, and she's here to help us, just like that Hu Tao you two saw before."

"By the way, she's a mage, and she can use magic!"

"M-magic?!"

"Was that just now magic?"

Mei was starting to question the very meaning of life.

God, what has this world become?

Honkai energy was already pushing it, and now even magic from movies and novels was popping up.

Is this game getting a patch too fast?

Kiana couldn't help but complain:

"If you had such a helper, why didn't you call her out earlier?!"

Because there were too many questionable things, they had even ignored the fact that Youyou had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Sorry, she had something to do earlier..."

Elysia scratched her cheek.

Because of the limited-time nature of the commission, the use of external help had to be done very carefully and sparingly, to only be used when absolutely necessary.

In the follow-up plan that Jiang Qiao had made for her, even the timing of when to use external help was very thoughtfully marked.

Though she wanted to chat, Elysia, remembering Jiang Qiao's instructions, shook her head:

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, and focus on dealing with the enemy in front of us."

"Right."

Kiana nodded and looked at Sin Mal, who was now alone inside a Titan, with malicious intent, a friendly smile on her face:

"Hey, shorty, what were you saying just now? Say it again?"

Are you sweating bullets now? Kid!
