The girl walked out from the residential building, looked at the green figure standing by the car, and a smile appeared on her face.
The figure also noticed her, putting away the slightly impatient expression from waiting.
Levi walked closer while waving his arm at her in greeting.
"Hi~ didn't expect it was you who invited me, I thought it was some other friend~"
Looking at the pretty face of the girl in front of her, Mobius quietly said, "I remember I wrote my name on the invitation."
The smile on Levi's face froze, and he asked, "Did you?"
It sounded like he was asking Mobius, or maybe some unknown crowd.
Elysia, "..."
'Probably, maybe… yes.'
Anyway she herself could not remember clearly.
"Let's not talk about that." Mobius withdrew her gaze from his face, looked at his clean clothes, and pushed her glasses.
Her brows slightly frowned. "Those clothes you're wearing…"
Hearing that, Elysia hurriedly urged, "Quick ask her if it looks good!"
For this banquet to go well, she spent a lot of money buying this outfit.
A full 1000 bucks.
She felt heartache for a long time while paying.
Facing Mobius' frown, Levi followed Elysia's words and asked Mobius whether his outfit looked good.
He got a negative answer.
"Too plain." Mobius commented.
At the banquet they were attending, everyone held high status, and the clothes they wore started at tens of thousands.
Even her own outfit was an expensive dress bought under Blanca's suggestion.
"Looks very nice~ it suits you perfectly."
"I wasn't asking about how my dress looks."
Mobius sighed.
She opened the car door and pushed him inside, then sat in the driver's seat.
Turning back to meet Levi's eyes, she said, "I'll take you to change clothes."
She glanced at the skirt he was wearing. This kind of cheap thing felt a bit unworthy of her.
Mobius withdrew her gaze and quietly started the car.
If time were enough, Mobius might even directly get someone to custom make a dress for her.
Unfortunately this banquet was arranged too suddenly, there was not much time to prepare.
"I have no money."
"You don't need to pay."
'That sounds great!'
After politely saying "thanks for spending," Levi quietly watched the scenery outside the car window moving backward.
Then he suddenly thought of a question.
"Miss Mei."
The car shook abnormally for a moment, scaring Levi into thinking there was a malfunction and an accident was about to happen.
After steadying the steering wheel, Mobius looked at the girl in the rearview mirror, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.
"My surname isn't Mei… you can just call my name 'Mobius', or like others call me 'Doctor'."
"Okay Miss Me… Mobius Doctor."
Feeling the car under him still shaking oddly from time to time, Levi asked with a strange expression, "Um Doctor, may I ask, do you have a driver's license?"
Mobius closed her mouth and did not answer.
Her silence made Levi's heart slowly tense up.
Looking at her side profile, he asked again, "Before coming, you didn't drink alcohol, right?"
Faced with his question again, Mobius could not stay silent. She was afraid he might jump out of the car to escape.
After thinking a bit, Mobius replied, "I drank some grape flavored juice."
Levi answered immediately, "Wine."
Mobius corrected, "Grape flavored juice."
'That little alcohol content can even count as alcohol?'
Before coming she drank two bottles and did not feel dizzy at all.
'How much?'
'Two bottles?!'
Looking at Mobius' slightly flushed cheeks, Levi's eyes slowly widened.
Elysia shouted, "Jump out of the car!!!"
Since they just started moving and the speed isn't fast, jumping now could still survive.
No license plus drunk driving, this is like dragging him along to die.
As if Elysia, the body owner, exerted force, before Levi could act, the body already started opening the door to jump.
Mobius reacted quickly and immediately pressed a button, all the car doors locked instantly.
"Trust me! This little iron box can't defeat me, Mobius!"
'Who do you think I am? Mobius!'
'A genius born knowing everything!'
'Driver's license and drunk driving are just rules for fools!'
'Geniuses are not included!'
Seeing Mobius acting a bit abnormal, Levi was 100 percent sure she was drunk.
Feeling the strong push against his back from acceleration, Elysia's scream also sounded.
"This is a black cab!!!"
Compared to Elysia's panic, Levi stayed very calm.
Elysia probably forgot how her body performed back in Mondstadt.
Even if the gas pedal is floored and an accident happens, she can still guarantee both she and Mobius survive.
So, looking at the girl's side profile in the driver seat, Levi chuckled lightly, leaned forward, and moved close to her ear.
"I trust you, Doctor Mei, I've always trusted you, so… please don't let someone who trusts you this much die~"
Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Mobius sobered slightly.
She glanced at the rearview mirror, where the girl had sat back properly, resting her chin while looking out the window.
Her mood became very complicated.
"You didn't even believe I drank grape flavored juice, and now you're saying you trust me!"
As she spoke, Mobius grabbed an empty can beside her and tossed it to him.
Looking at the text on the bottle, Levi paused slightly.
Elysia softly read, "Grape flavored juice, due to manufacturing process, may contain trace alcohol, not exceeding one ten thousandth of the drink…"
After reading the bottle info, both of them fell silent together.
'It really is grape flavored juice!'
'Even the word "flavored" is written on it!'
Levi immediately clasped his hands together and apologized to Mobius, "Sorry! I feel very sorry!"
If space weren't so cramped, Levi would definitely show how sincere his apology could be.
Then Levi cautiously asked, "So the driver's license…"
"..."
"Don't stay silent!"
"So noisy! Only fools need that thing!"
"I want to get off! I want to get off!" (Elysia)
———
[After Some Time]
"Doctor, promise me you'll get a driver's license someday, okay?"
"So noisy!"
"Promise me!"
"Fine fine, when I have time I'll go take a look."
The two arrived safely at Mobius' destination, the biggest shopping center in Nagazora City.
Even though it was already night, there were still many people.
Mobius took the slightly pale Levi inside, and before long they came out again.
Not because they didn't find something suitable, but because they already bought it.
Elysia's looks are very strong, she looks good in anything she wears.
So Mobius picked a dress she liked, didn't bargain, paid, and took Levi away.
Only…
"Why are you holding that pink skirt?"
Mobius looked at the bag in his arms, her expression a bit puzzled.
