Chat Group Crossover: My System Simulates Infinite Anime Worlds — Chapter 14
Chapter 14: Adored by Elysia
[A few days later, the Technology Exchange Conference commenced.]
[At the conference, a procession of scientists took the stage, each presenting their findings one by one.]
[Soon, it was your and MEI’s turn to present your research on the Quantum Realm.]
[You were careful to omit any mention of Honkai Energy; revealing its existence to the public would undoubtedly trigger a massive panic.]
[Even so, your presentation on the theoretical and practical applications of the Quantum Realm caused a tremendous sensation among the assembled academics.]
[After stepping off the stage, you made a beeline for the restroom. The scientists had been so relentless with their questions, their fervent curiosity hadn’t even left you a moment for a simple bathroom break.]
[Just as you were exiting the washroom, you found a young woman with vibrant pink hair waiting for you at the door.]
[Elysia’s eyes curved into perfect crescents as she looked at you, her smile beaming with an almost radiant warmth. She asked if you might have a moment for a private chat.]
[You readily agreed. You had wanted to speak with her as well, and if you were lucky, perhaps you could even acquire a few more tissue samples for your research.]
[Upon finding a quiet, secluded corner, Elysia glanced around, her eyes scanning the area as if checking for something.]
[You had already swept the surroundings with your own mental power, confirming the absence of any listening devices or potential eavesdroppers.]
[Before Elysia could even begin, you looked directly at her, your expression calm and unreadable. “Miss Elysia,” you stated, your voice even, “you aren’t human, are you? If I’m not mistaken, you’re a Herrscher.”]
[Elysia immediately put on an exaggerated, frightened act, her hands flying to her cheeks. “Oh my! How could you possibly know I’m a Herrscher? And is there truly a Herrscher in this world as cute and harmless as me?”]
[Unmoved by her performance, you simply crossed your arms over your chest and continued to stare, your silence a clear demand for a real answer.]
[“I’m looking at one right now,” you said flatly.]
[At that, Elysia’s playful facade melted away, replaced by a broad, genuine smile. She seemed utterly delighted.]
[“Don’t be so nervous,” she chirped, her voice like wind chimes. “I was just making a little joke. After all, you’re one of my kind, too.”]
[As she spoke, Elysia closed the distance between you and pulled you into a sudden, direct hug.]
[You were immediately enveloped by her embrace. It was incredibly warm, impossibly soft, and she carried a sweet, pleasant fragrance like a field of blooming flowers.]
[“Can you tell me how you were born?” she whispered, her voice filled with genuine curiosity. “I was born a little earlier than you, so you have to call me Big Sister, okay?”]
[Hearing this, you felt a bit speechless. You allowed yourself to enjoy the physical contact for another moment, confirming that you sensed no danger from her, before you finally managed to gently break free from her arms.]
[It had to be said, the embrace was dangerously tempting. It was so comfortable, so immersive, that you could feel an almost overwhelming wave of affection, like a deep and unconditional motherly love, radiating from her.]
[You decided to be direct, explaining your situation. You told her how you had accidentally condensed something akin to a Herrscher core through your own unique training methods, but that you didn’t possess any true Herrscher Authority. You half-expected this revelation to frighten her.]
[Instead, after hearing your explanation, Elysia seemed even happier. She immediately hugged you again, refusing to let go, exclaiming that her new little brother was an absolute genius.]
[It seemed there was no escaping the title she had given you. And, in a way, she wasn’t wrong. Under the constant influence of Honkai Energy, your physical body was now more inclined toward that of a Herrscher. A more accurate description might be a human who had successfully evolved through the power of the Honkai.]
[You then asked Elysia about her own circumstances, specifically how she, a Herrscher, maintained such a clear and benevolent consciousness. She was more than happy to share, her words bubbling with excitement as she recounted her experiences.]
[Listening to her story, you pieced it together. She had maintained her humanity from the very moment of her birth, descending into the world not as a harbinger of destruction, but as a little girl, triggering no Honkai Eruption whatsoever. You also learned a few new details about the Honkai from her, though you were already familiar with most of it.]
[You weren’t particularly surprised. This world was filled with beyond understanding phenomena. Trying to logically dissect every single one would be far too troublesome.]
[What did surprise you, however, was how completely she seemed to trust you, a near-total stranger.]
[Still, this feeling of being trusted… it was quite nice.]
[You decided to give her a proper designation, a codename befitting her unique nature: the Herrscher of Origin, the Herrscher of Human.]
[Afterward, you found yourself pulled back into that warm embrace as Elysia doted on you for quite a while longer.]
[When you finally emerged from that gentle haven, you had to take out a handkerchief to wipe the lipstick stains and faint traces of saliva from your face before you could return to the main hall.]
[While you were in the Far East, Mobius extended another invitation to both you and MEI, stating that the internal conflicts within the Flame-Chasers had finally been resolved.]
[You stared silently at Mobius, your gaze alone asking if she was joking.]
[Then, you looked up at the ceiling, a weary sigh escaping your lips as you uttered a classic quote etched deep into your soul from a life long past.]
[“Human desire is like a rolling stone on a high mountain; once it starts, it can never be stopped.”]
[Those classic lines were truths you had never forgotten, even across several cycles of reincarnation.]
[After delivering your cryptic refusal, you returned to the Far East with MEI, resuming your quiet life of attending school and conducting experiments.]
[As the days turned into weeks, Elysia would often use her holidays to come and visit you, eager to release her seemingly unquenchable reserves of sisterly affection.]
[Every time she left, your face would once again be covered in lipstick and, to your chagrin, her saliva.]
[And whenever Elysia came to visit, MEI’s mouth would twitch in silent annoyance. It was clear she had developed a complicated, love-hate relationship with the effervescent Herrscher.]
[Meanwhile, you felt the concentration of Honkai Energy in the very air growing stronger day by day.]
[You could even see them now, if you looked closely—newly born Zombies shuffling in the dark corners of the city, the fleeting shadows of hidden Honkai Beasts flitting across rooftops at dusk.]
[Without delay, you notified both Elysia and Mobius. It was time to prepare. The Third Honkai Eruption was coming.]
