Chat Group: Starting by Swapping Bodies with Elysia?

In front of Sin, who was tied up, Kiana held a baseball bat against her face and threatened her loudly and menacingly:

"Quick, tell me where Cocolia is, or I'll get rough with you!"

"Hmph, who would tell you? If you want to kill me, then do it! Don't think I'm scared!"

The tied-up Sin turned her head away, her face filled with stubbornness.

Although they had indeed obtained the approximate direction of the passage to the underground base through Sin's appearance, it was obviously not a smart idea to blindly rush in since Cocolia had already noticed them. So, Elysia and the others tried to get some information out of this prisoner.

However, it was clear that their efforts were not very effective.

If it had been the Erguotou sisters, it might have been easier, but neither Sin nor Bronya were the type to give in to threats of force. Furthermore, they didn't have any real means of intimidation.

Not to mention something intimidating, who were they trying to scare with just a baseball bat?

"Aaaargh! You're making me so mad!"

Kiana was obviously angered by Sin's attitude and the mocking look in her eyes. She was about to swing the bat at Sin, but the next moment, Mei stopped her. She struggled, yelling:

"Mei, don't stop me! I'm going to beat this shark-mouthed little brat who aids and abets the wicked!"

"Just give it up. It's useless even if you hit her."

Elysia sighed and also spoke to dissuade her.

Unfortunately, none of the people present were the type who could harden their heart and use torture to extract a confession.

Even Kiana, who was yelling that she would beat Sin to death, would definitely hold back if she actually did it.

The kindness of young girls was sometimes a shackle.

But, looking at the stubborn Sin, Elysia still wanted to try.

She could tell that although the child in front of her was acting very fierce and stubborn, she had a kind heart.

"You're called Sin, right?"

"That's right, my name is Sin! So what? Don't waste your effort. I won't tell you anything!"

It might have been her imagination, but Kiana felt that the little brat's attitude was noticeably more gentle when facing Elysia than when facing her.

What did that mean, was she getting special treatment?!

"I heard him mention that you and Bronya are both trying to save a certain girl, right?"

"...You!?"

Sin looked at Elysia with a hint of suspicion.

Seele's matter was something that only Bronya, she, and Mother Cocolia knew about. There was no way that anyone else could know, that much Sin was sure of.

But the person in front of her knew about it. Had Bronya leaked it? No, that was impossible! Bronya was more concerned about that coward than she was. There was no way she would reveal it!

Who exactly was the "he" that this person was talking about?

While Sin was speculating, Elysia said on her own:

"I don't know what kind of person that girl is, but... If she knew that you did all this for her, sacrificing an entire city's people, would she... really be happy?"

Of course she wouldn't be happy. How could she be happy?

With that coward's personality, if she knew their actions, she would definitely be very angry and self-blaming.

For the gentle girl named Seele Vollerei, if she learned that saving her required such a price, then without a doubt, that child would rather not be saved than have her Bronya nee-san and the important people around her carry such heavy sins.

Sin knew this very well.

But, she was different from Bronya. If Elysia had said those words to Bronya, it would have been very effective, and it was not impossible for her to even switch sides.

But Sin was different.

"Hmph, I don't care if she's happy! I just want to save her. The rest is none of my business!"

Bronya cared about that coward's feelings, but she hated that coward!

"I see."

Seeing that her attempt to persuade her had failed, Elysia was a little disappointed.

For some reason, looking at Elysia like this, Sin couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest.

And so, as Elysia and the others gave up on trying to get more information and prepared to move forward directly, Sin's voice rang out:

"Mother Cocolia is deep inside the base."

"?"

Kiana, who was still resentful, had an expression of disbelief after hearing this sentence.

Wait, you really just said it? What does that mean? When I was pointing a baseball bat at you, you were defiant and silent, but after that scumbag said a few words, you opened your mouth. Are you targeting me?!

"Don't misunderstand. It doesn't matter even if I tell you. You're not going to make it back alive anyway."

"And that man... what's your name?"

"Hm~ For now, you can call me Jiang Qiao~"

Having been asked her name, Elysia was no longer disappointed, but instead smiled and said the name of the owner of this body in a subtle tone.

"Jiang Qiao, huh? I'll remember that. You don't need to say those things to Mother Cocolia, she won't listen."

Unlike Bronya and herself.

As Cocolia's daughter, Sin knew how incredibly stubborn her mother was.

As long as she had a goal in mind, even if many people had to be sacrificed along the way, she wouldn't even bat an eye.

"Is that so? Well, you won't know until you try, right?"

Elysia didn't take her warning to heart.

Although she felt anger towards Cocolia, who had planned the Great Honkai Eruption in Nagazora City,

She also secretly hoped to convince the other party, just as she had tried to convince Sin.

If a disaster could be averted with just words, wouldn't that be the best possible outcome?

However, Yunyun wouldn't be able to continue participating in the battle that followed.

Not just because her time limit was almost up.

But also because—

"There's no magic in this world at all."

Yunyun was troubled.

For a mage, they usually communicate with the great source of magic through the small source, their own magic. This not only made the power stronger, but it also saved magic.

But the world of Honkai was different. The substance known as magic did not exist in this world.

Due to the differences in world rules, her fight with Sin, who possessed a certain degree of time manipulation, had left her, even as a Crimson Demon, close to running out of magic.

Although Honkai energy was often ridiculed as being all-powerful, she definitely couldn't use such a dangerous energy.

Upon understanding the situation, Elysia nodded with understanding:

"Okay, then you should head back first. We should be able to handle things from here on."

In the chat group, there was still one powerful combatant waiting in the wings.

And, the even better news was—

The battle from 50,000 years ago was about to reach a conclusion!
