[Stelle: It's all Levi's fault!]
[Levi: ?]
Seeing Stelle's message, Levi slowly typed a question mark into the group chat.
[Lumine: It's all Levi's fault!]
[Bronya: It's all Levi's fault!]
[Asta: It's all Levi's fault!]
[Elysia: It's all Levi's fault!]
[Levi: No, sis!]
[Levi: Why is everything my fault again?!]
'Whenever something happens, you're all putting the blame on me first, huh?'
'I didn't even start this!'
'If we're really assigning blame, I'm at most an accomplice. The mastermind is someone else!'
[Levi: Justice lives in people's hearts, that's all I'll say.]
Justice really did live in people's hearts.
Everyone carefully recalled how things had unfolded.
As long as they were still human, they could tell who had started this chaos.
That person was...
[Levi: I won't name names. I just hope a certain pink fatty will pay more attention in the future.]
[Levi: The most important thing is to take responsibility for what you do.]
Although he didn't directly say the person's name, seeing that nickname, almost everyone turned their attention toward... Elysia, whose profile picture was a cute pink-haired girl.
Just a moment ago, everyone had been seriously discussing the matter of Otto going to St. Freya, where Kiana currently was.
But because of two sentences from this person, the atmosphere in the group suddenly became strange.
And the weirdness spread throughout the chat.
Causing everyone else to fall as well.
Then the group conversation became extremely improper.
So if they were really assigning blame... Pink Fatty!
The person named Elysia was the true mastermind behind this incident.
Under these circumstances, Elysia showed up in the chat again without any awareness.
[Elysia: Why are you looking at me? Eat some candy.]
Judging from her message, she clearly had no intention of repenting.
She really should be pu...
[Elysia: (Red Packet)]
'Holy crap! A red packet!'
Levi reacted instantly and tapped it.
[Ding! Elysia's red packet was claimed in zero seconds! Levi has the best luck!]
[Stelle: Just how many years have you been single to have that kind of hand speed?]
'Claimed in zero seconds, seriously?'
[Elysia: Whoever gets it sends the next one.]
Secret technique: Diversion tactic.
Looking at the candy in his hand and Elysia's message in the chat, Levi immediately realized he had been tricked.
It was just an ordinary candy. He thought it was something good...
[Elysia: Friendly reminder, I took it from Mobius's lab.]
[Elysia: I heard it can make people obedient.]
Pulling his attention away from the chat, Levi looked at the candy resting quietly in his palm.
Make people obedient.
"Lady Fu Xuan, would you like some candy?"
Hearing this, Fu Xuan turned her head and looked at Qingque, whose eyes were full of sincerity as she held out a candy with both hands.
"If you don't want it, I'll give it to General Jing Yuan."
Although he didn't know whether Elysia's words were true, Levi decided to test it on these two powerful figures, Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan.
Too bad Stelle was also in the group.
Otherwise, he'd have tested it on her.
[Stelle: ?]
'Did I commit some world-destroying crime in my previous life?'
'How did I end up knowing a bastard like you?!'
Just as Levi was about to put away the candy, Fu Xuan reached out and took it.
She simply unwrapped it and put it into her mouth.
A rich milky flavor filled her mouth.
"Milk candy?"
Fu Xuan paused, then returned to normal.
The taste wasn't bad.
Behind her, Levi gradually revealed an evil smile.
———
[Some Time Later]
[Levi: Bullshit. It didn't do anything and even got me punched.]
With a huge bump on his forehead, Levi squatted in the corner, staring resentfully at Elysia's ID in the chat.
[Elysia: You actually believed it?]
Elysia couldn't stop laughing.
It was just ordinary candy sold under the name of Mobius, the evil genius scientist.
A few days ago, Dr. Primitive had bought huge quantities of it.
They had confiscated a whole pile of ordinary candy.
Now it was all sitting in the warehouse of Mobius's laboratory.
So saying it came from Mobius's lab wasn't wrong at all.
And the effect really was something she had only heard about.
That was simply the slogan used to advertise it.
[Elysia: Since you've already eaten it, you can't back out now.]
[Stelle: Red packet!]
Seeing the messages from the two of them, Levi silently turned toward Fu Xuan.
Since she had eaten his candy, getting something in return was only natural.
Rubbing his hands together, Levi moved closer.
Seeing his expression, Fu Xuan immediately knew he was asking for something.
She silently lifted her sleeve.
"This was prescribed for me by the Dragon Lady..."
To ease the fatigue of work.
"Immortal's Happy Tea!"
Who would've thought that serious-looking Fu Xuan, with her stern face and thick eyebrows, would carry something like this around.
Slurp! Slurp!
Seeing Levi immediately start drinking it after getting it, Fu Xuan moved her lips.
'Forget it.'
She'd just buy another cup later.
[Ding!]
[Lumine: Where's the red packet?]
'I've been waiting forever. Why isn't there any movement?!'
Everyone else was the same.
Although none of them were talking, making it seem like they had all gone offline, in reality, each of them was holding their breath and watching the chat closely.
[Kiana licked Lumine's feet and shouted, "Long live my Queen!"]
[Kiana: Damn it!!!凸(艹皿艹 )!]
'See?'
'That's what happens when your hands are too fast.'
'Or rather, when you can't stop in time.'
[Kiana: Lumine!!!]
[Lumine: ...]
'How the hell is this my fault?!'
'Who told you to keep tapping the screen and miss?!'
[Stelle: Who would've thought our vertically challenged Lumine has dreams of becoming a queen.]
[Lumine: Mind your own business! Watch out or I'll beat you up!]
[Elysia patted Stelle's butt and shouted, "So smooth!"]
[Stelle: ('◉⌓◉')]
[Stelle: There's a pervert!]
'Patting my butt and shouting "So smooth" here!'
'If that's not a pervert, what is?'
[Elysia: ...]
[Stelle: Don't stay silent. Tell me how it felt. If you've forgotten, just touch your own and refresh your memory.]
[Stelle patted Elysia's butt and shouted, "Nice butt!"]
[Stelle: ...]
[Elysia: Now you know why I only sent an ellipsis, right?]
[Lumine: Stop going off-topic!]
[Lumine: Sisters! Don't forget our goal!]
[Lumine: Red packet red packet red packet red packet...]
[Bronya: Red packet red packet red packet...]
[Asta: Red packet red packet red packet...]
[Kiana: @Levi]
———
Burp!
After belching, Levi opened the red packet page.
[Ding! Levi's red packet was fully claimed within one second! Stelle has the best luck!]
[Asta: Such fast hands...]
It was already gone before I even opened it.
[Stelle: Don't go to sleep so early at night. Stay up later, and you can be this fast too.]
Seeing Stelle's words, Asta looked confused.
'What does she mean?'
'Why would staying up later make your hands faster?'
[Lumine: The speed's off the charts.]
Although it was a little hard to understand, veteran driver Lumine got it.
[Kiana: Stop talking about things no one understands!]
[Kiana: @Stelle, what's inside Levi's red packet?]
[Stelle: Uh, let me look. Maybe I dropped it somewhere...]
Looking at the "claimed" notification in the chat, Stelle searched around but couldn't find whatever she'd gotten.
[Stelle: Weird. Really weird...]
[Kiana: ?]
[Stelle: What do you think was inside Levi's red packet?]
[Lumine: ? You claimed it yourself and you don't know?]
'Where did this fool come from? You don't even know what you claimed?'
On the verge of tears, Stelle said in the chat, [I really don't know what I got.]
