Meanwhile, on the other side of the Elysian Realm, the trio and one cat stared at each other, plunging into a rather peculiar atmosphere.
But just a few seconds later, the tension shattered as Lynelle let out a soft poof and transformed back into her Mimi form.
"Uh, uh, Elysia… sis…?"
The cat girl, utterly bewildered, turned to look at Elysia beside her. "What's… going on here?"
"Mew?"
Now, back as Mem, Lynelle naturally couldn't hold onto the round Can anymore. In a flash, Can leaped onto Pardofelis's shoulder.
"Oh, oh… so you're the one who saw this… uh, mini Elysia-sis in the collection room?"
The cat girl immediately began deciphering Can's meaning in a way Lynelle couldn't comprehend.
"So, you don't know how she appeared either?"
Lynelle instantly broke into a cold sweat.
What was this feeling? Like she'd tried to pull some mischief, failed, and was now being snitched on to the 'parent'?
After a moment's thought, Lynelle decisively made her choice… to make a run for it!
The First Infiltration Plan: officially bankrupt!
But before Lynelle could even jump up to escape this data space, she felt a slender, delicate hand gently pinch the scruff of her neck and lift her up.
Ahem, so here's the thing, Pardo."
Elysia's smile didn't fade as she spoke, earnestly covering for Lynelle.
"She's actually a pet I've just started keeping recently! Hmm… saying it like that sounds a bit mean. Anyway, it's roughly similar to the situation with ELF Elysia?"
"Oh!"
Pardofelis had a sudden realization. "Was it that time when Sis Vill-V and Sis Mobius went to find you together? I was wondering why those two suddenly teamed up. So that's why…"
Unfortunately, sensing Elysia's Origin aura required a certain level of strength and some prior exposure to her Herrscher authority.
So, while most of the Elysian Realm's Flame-Chasers had felt that earlier 'ping everyone' pulse of Origin power, Pardofelis clearly wasn't among that group.
"Mmm… yes, that's exactly it!"
Elysia gently shook the Lynelle in her hand, seemingly hinting at something. Lynelle quickly took the hint and let out a few timely "Mimi, mimi!" cries.
"Eh? She seems pretty clever! She could even take human form just now. Feels even smarter than Can… ow ow ow, I'm not saying you're not good, Can!"
"Okay, okay, I'll take you to find some canned food to make it up to you…"
After Can meowed a few more times, Pardofelis looked helplessly at Elysia. "Well then, Elysia-sis, I'll take Can and get going now. You have fun bonding with her."
"Bye-bye, Pardo!"
Elysia waved cheerfully, watching the two vanish from the spot, and then…
She looked down at Lynelle in her hand, a playful, knowing smile on her lips as she quietly held her gaze.
For some inexplicable reason, Lynelle recalled a video she'd seen in her past life.
[This is Honkai Impact 3rd's Number One Lesbian. Do You Dare to Make Eye Contact for Ten Seconds?]
(T/N: A popular HI3 animation video on bilibili the title is 这是崩坏三第一女同,你敢和她对视十秒吗?)
And the answer…
Obviously, was no.
Not even five seconds in, Lynelle crumbled under the sheer radiance of Elysia's divine beauty and actively tried to break the strange atmosphere.
"Mi, mimi? Mimi mi…"
Watching the Mem whose limbs were flailing awkwardly, ears even drooping, Elysia couldn't help but giggle.
"Alright, little one, I'm not going to do anything to you… But, this place is a bit of a mess, isn't it?"
As she spoke, Elysia opened a portal marked with the Signet of Ego.
"So… let's change locations and have a lovely tea party, just between us cute girls, shall we?"
However, not long after Elysia and Lynelle departed, another portal abruptly materialized right where the four had been. A petite figure with green hair poked her head out in a frantic rush.
"No one here… They've already left?"
A look of pure 'Oh no!' instantly spread across Mobius's face.
"Darn it! That Elysia must have taken Lynelle away already!"
"With her personality, encountering someone like Lynelle…"
She didn't even need to think about it. Snake-snake knew Elysia would absolutely do some 'indescribable' things to Lynella—like pinching her cheeks, or using her as a dress-up doll, making her wear frilly pink dresses, and maybe even something more extreme…
Faced with a cute beauty who looked just like her, how could someone like Elysia possibly stay indifferent!
She snatched Lynelle away, surely to…

"Gah, no! I have to go to Elysia's place. At the very least, I need to figure out what's going on!"
Mobius huffed angrily, kicking the little black cube beneath her before vanishing once more from the space.

"Mi?"
Elsewhere, nestled in Elysia's arms, Lynelle was carried all the way to a data space brimming with pink hues. After searching briefly, Elysia soon found a familiar spot with practiced ease and led Lynelle inside.
The layout felt intensely familiar to Lynelle, probably because… she'd grinded the [Elysia's Sweet Afternoon Tea] stage several times?
The place Elysia brought her was exactly the area from that video.
"Alright, we're here!"
After placing several pastries on the table, Elysia set Lynelle down beside her. "I often used to chat with Eden and the others here over snacks… So, what do you think? It's quite beautiful, isn't it?"
"Mimi!"
"It seems you think so too…"
Elysia gently speared a piece of cake with her fork, then poked Lynelle playfully. "But, this form isn't very suitable for conversation, you know… Can you change back to how you were before, Lynelle?"
"Mi? Mimi…"
Lynelle froze for a second, then stared at Elysia in confusion.
If she remembered correctly, she… hadn't told Elysia her name, right?
"Heheh… Not only do I know your name, I also know you're the Herrscher of Corruption, you know?"
Elysia flashed a sweet smile. Then, under Lynelle's utterly bewildered gaze, she leaned in a little closer.
"But, you mean you've used up all the energy from your previous transformation?"
"Mi!"
"How can I understand you? Heheh… It's a magical girl's secret!"
Elysia lightly tapped her own lips, feigning a troubled expression. "But, like this, you can't really enjoy afternoon tea… I suppose we'll have to do it this way, then~"
As she spoke, while Lynelle's eyes widened in shock, Elysia's figure suddenly loomed larger before her. Then, Elysia pressed a soft, gentle kiss against Lynelle's cheek.
Instantly, a flood of data streamed from Elysia's kiss into Lynelle's body, directly 'overloading' her and forcing her back to her original form.
"Eh?!"
Although she had transformed back from Mem to her true self, Elysia's kiss still lingered on her cheek.
The warm, moist sensation instantly painted Lynelle's cheeks a captivating shade of crimson.
"Mmm, as expected of a cute girl just like me. Even your blushing face is utterly charming~"
Feeling the scorching heat of the girl's skin, the mischievous Elysia gave a light, teasing lick to Lynelle's cheek. The action sent a jolt through the girl, making her tremble violently. Only then, satisfied, did Elysia pull away.
