Su Luo's voice wasn't loud, but in the current deserted environment, it sounded very clear.
At least, Elysia, who was originally waiting for the elevator, heard Su Luo's voice.
She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, confirming she was still wearing her mask.
"Are you talking to me~?" Elysia asked back, trying hard to suppress her usual tone.
"Mm."
Su Luo nodded. He didn't think there was any need to be vague. "You should be the person behind Miss Pink Elf♪ on Pilipili, right?"
"Ah!?" Elysia quickly waved her hand. "I know the Miss Pink Elf♪ you're talking about, but I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable, cute young girl~~"
"I'm not the same person as that pure and wonderful Elysia."
Hearing this, Su Luo glanced at Elysia's pink hair.
Elysia naturally noticed his gaze. "Oh my, pink is the most popular color in the world... hmm, one of them?"
"Many people like to dye their hair pink. A beautiful girl like me is, of course, no exception~~"
Although her pink hair was natural.
"Hmm..."
Su Luo thought for a moment and chose not to press her further.
He simply switched to Otto's voice: "Hehe, perhaps~ I indeed mistook you for someone else. My apologies for disturbing you, this unremarkable yet beautiful young lady."
The elevator doors happened to slide open at that moment. He walked in without hesitation.
He pressed the button for the first floor, then glanced out of the corner of his eye at Elysia, who had followed him into the elevator.
"Mr. Otto?" Elysia called out softly.
"..." Su Luo quietly stared at the elevator display panel.
"Mr. Otto~ It's not good for a gentleman to ignore a cute girl," Elysia raised her voice slightly.
"You can call me Su Luo, Miss Elysia."
Su Luo finally reacted. He shifted his gaze from the display panel and turned to look at Elysia.
"Ah~ Mr. Otto... Su Luo, even though we've never met in real life, you were able to recognize me at a glance. That's really amazing."
Elysia blinked her azure eyes. "Do you have some kind of superpower?"
"Miss Elysia, you're joking. I don't have any superpowers. It's just that you're very easy to recognize," Su Luo answered truthfully.
A happy smile blossomed on Elysia's face. "Oh? Is that a compliment? Is Su Luo saying I'm very special, so you could tell at a glance?"
Su Luo showed a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he said very sincerely:
"Miss Elysia, you are indeed very special. Even though I've met many special people, you are the most special one."
"Ah~ This... Su Luo, you're really..."
Elysia looked at Su Luo's sincere face as he complimented her.
She really liked this kind of embellishing praise.
But this time, perhaps because Su Luo looked too serious, a rare trace of shyness appeared in her heart, and her voice even trembled slightly.
"Sorry, I misspoke. I might have caused Miss Elysia some trouble," Su Luo noticed Elysia's unusual reaction and quickly added.
"Mmm..."
Elysia stared at Su Luo's entirely sincere face for a good while. "Alright, I'll believe you didn't do it on purpose."
"However, I'm still quite troubled~~"
The elevator happened to arrive at their floor.
She took off her mask, put her hands behind her back, and strode out with a confident, slightly splayed-foot gait. Then, she half-turned to Su Luo, who was still in the elevator.
"You let me call you Su Luo, but you keep calling me Miss Elysia~~"
Her eyes curved like crescent moons, revealing a sweet smile.
"From now on~ call me Elysia~♪"
Miss Pink Elf♪ really was quick to warm up to people.
Su Luo, who had been about to step out, paused, his expression also changing slightly with a touch of unnaturalness.
"Miss Elysia..."
"Mm-hm?"
"I understand, Elysia."
"Hehe~~"
Seeing this, Elysia finally showed a satisfied expression on her face.
She put her mask back on and walked out of the apartment building with Su Luo. After walking side-by-side for a few steps.
"We're already on a first-name basis, can I ask you something?"
Although Su Luo didn't quite understand what kind of relationship being on a "first-name basis" specifically entailed, he still nodded. "Of course, you can."
"Then I won't be polite~~"
Elysia's tone still had that uplifting lilt. "I heard you invited Kevin, wanting him to become a character in Honkai Impact 3rd? You seem to particularly enjoy creating game characters based on real people."
"Mm, because I feel that characters created this way will be more vivid," Su Luo replied.
"So that's how it is. Then... why Kevin? Ah, I'm not saying Kevin is bad, it's just..."
Elysia tapped her cheek with a finger, thinking very seriously. "From my perspective, there are many people among us more suitable for Honkai Impact 3rd than Kevin, right?"
"For example, a beautiful elf..."
"Actually, I didn't just invite Kevin. I also invited Sakura," Su Luo interjected before Elysia could finish.
Elysia: ???
"Eh!? Even Sakura..." She was clearly surprised.
How come her friends were joining Honkai Impact 3rd one after another?
Could it be that, in the end, everyone would join Honkai Impact 3rd, and only Miss Pink Elf♪ would be left out?
That kind of thing mustn't happen!
"Is it strange?"
"Mmm... It's not exactly strange."
A normal person might not know what to say at this point, but Miss Pink Elf♪ wouldn't.
Elysia crossed her arms. "I just feel that you've invited so many people but haven't even considered me. Am I not charming?"
"I'm clearly cute and kind, gentle and considerate. I feel like I'd be a great fit."
"So Miss Pink Elf♪ wanted to say this."
A wave of barely concealable 'wild joy' surged within Su Luo. Miss Pink Elf♪ was practically offering herself up; he had absolutely no reason to refuse, right?
He feigned distress and lied, "I was just worried Miss Pink Elf♪ would refuse."
"Ah~ Is that so?"
Elysia changed her posture. "But I'm actually very easy to talk to, and I really like Honkai Impact 3rd. Playing a role in it would be no problem at all."
She paused, then emphasized very seriously, "However, I won't be a villain~~"
"...Of course, I wouldn't let Elysia be a villain," Su Luo said.
"I think Elysia's story will surely be pure and flawless."
"A very beautiful story."
"A story that exists because of you."
