[Levi: See? You don't understand. Lady Fu Xuan is actually very easy to talk to.]
'Easy to talk to?'
Stelle began recalling the Fu Xuan she had seen at the Divination Commission.
Almost all the time, Fu Xuan wore that serious expression, giving off an aura that said don't bother me unless it's important.
It was hard to connect her with the words "easy to talk to."
As expected of a veteran employee of the Divination Commission.
He had already gotten used to interacting with his boss like this.
'Had he somehow developed into an M?'
"Hiss~"
Levi shivered and glanced around with his small eyes.
"Lady Diviner, do you feel a sense of malice around us?"
"I don't feel any malice."
Fu Xuan withdrew her gaze from the Ambrosial Arbor and looked calmly at Qingque.
"What I do feel is suffocation... Why haven't you let go of me yet?!"
Are you trying to strangle me to death so you can take my position?
Hearing Fu Xuan's words, Levi awkwardly loosened the arm wrapped around her neck.
"I was just feeling a little scared."
Scared?
Judging by what you were just doing, if anyone should be scared, it should be everyone else.
Fu Xuan shook her head and continued watching the activity in Scalegorge Waterscape.
At this moment, Qingque, who had been silent the whole time, spoke helplessly.
'Can I just say, could you stop using my body to take advantage of Lady Fu Xuan?'
Talking to yourself was one thing.
After all, she had long known he had some unspeakable secrets.
But as for taking advantage of Fu Xuan, 'Couldn't he do it with his own body?'
'Did he dare do it with his own body?'
'Using someone else's body and sneaking it in.'
'Was he even a man?'
"Hm?"
Levi suddenly became alert.
"Even a man?"
His eyes sharpened.
"Are you assuming my gender?"
'?'
Caught off guard by the question, Qingque froze for a moment.
'If you're not a man, are you a woman?'
Don't give her that "I'm currently female" nonsense.
This was her body! Not Levi's!
What else could Levi's original gender be if not male?
'A Walmart shopping bag?!'
Levi spoke solemnly, "Wrong! I'm an attack helicopter!"
'...'
Qingque no longer wanted to talk.
She closed her eyes and resumed her meditation-card-playing technique.
Seeing Qingque stop talking, Levi shrugged and opened the chat group.
[Levi: Ahahahaha, the chicken soup is here~]
[Levi: (Freshly baked red packet)]
[Ding! Levi's red packet was claimed within one second! Lumine is the Lucky King!]
[Stelle: Didn't expect that, Lumine. So you're into this too!]
[Lumine: Can't help it. My hand speed is the fastest in the group~]
[Levi: True.]
Not everyone can stay in QQ Space for five hundred years.
[Lumine: ...]
[Stelle: Hahahaha!]
One short sentence, and he insulted Lumine twice.
[Lumine: @Levi, your mom!]
'Was I staying in QQ Space for five hundred years?!'
'I was trapped under Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years!'
'Forced to!!!'
[Levi: So...]
[Elysia: Lumine is a monkey?!!!]
Elysia's words were full of shock, as if she had just discovered that the group member she'd been talking to all this time was actually a monkey disguised as a human.
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Laughter came from behind.
Fu Xuan no longer had any desire to turn around.
This had happened many times already.
Every time she asked him, "Why are you laughing?", she never answered.
He just sat there laughing while looking at her, not saying anything, just laughing.
And looking at her while laughing.
No matter how much she asked, he wouldn't explain.
After enough times, Fu Xuan almost couldn't take it anymore and wanted to unleash some Yaoqing-style profanity.
But her excellent upbringing forced her to swallow it back.
If Stelle were here, she'd definitely already be cursing.
Fu Xuan waved her sleeve and listened to the laughter behind her with a blank expression.
"I'm afraid the illness has reached the bone marrow. He won't live much longer~"
No need to guess. He was definitely sitting there grinning at her again.
If this wasn't an illness, she'd jump off here right now.
Sigh~ hopefully even the High Elder Dragon Lady's medical skills couldn't save him.
Seeing Elysia's increasingly absurd messages, Levi laughed so hard his stomach hurt.
[Lumine: ...]
[Kiana: Incredible.]
Levi and Elysia were basically unbeatable in the group.
[Levi: I'm unbeatable?]
[Kiana: Both of you are.]
Putting down her phone, Kiana sat back on the sofa.
From her earlier call with Himeko, she learned that the person who had arrived at St. Freya Academy this time wasn't Otto as she had guessed.
Instead, it was the person Levi had mentioned before.
The one who would become the Fourth Herrscher.
Her former senior, the A-Rank Valkyrie who graduated from St. Freya Academy, Wendy.
[Lumine: Wendy? Venti?!]
The characters were different, but the pronunciation was almost identical.
"Did Venti find a new job in another world?"
"And conveniently got rid of his useless JJ and became a woman."
"But do gods even have a fixed gender? Or are they all beings beyond definition?"
Lumine fell into thought.
[Elysia: Whew~ Himeko escaped the maternity leave crisis.]
[Kiana: That's enough!]
[Ding! "Group Member" Elysia has been muted by "Administrator" Levi for one minute!]
[Levi: My apologies, everyone. My wife has embarrassed herself.]
[Elysia: ...]
[Stelle: 6.]
[Stelle: Elysia: 6]
[Stelle: She asked me to type one for her too.]
[Stelle: But have you really gotten that desperate? You'd even go for a fat woman?]
Did rich lady Asta lose her appeal, or is March 7th no longer attractive enough?
March 7th & Elysia: "?"
The two of them simultaneously sent question marks.
Elysia's response was simple, "Who are you calling fat?!"
"..."
"I feel like you're talking bad about me."
A dirty-faced March 7th stared suspiciously at Stelle.
Under her gaze, Stelle's smile stiffened.
But knowing March couldn't see the chat group, Stelle remained calm.
She waved her hand.
"You're imagining things. I wasn't even chatting with anyone. How could I be talking bad about you? Right?"
Even so...
In the end, March 7th could only scratch her head and continue working.
———
Meanwhile, in the chat group...
Levi twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Asta was understandable. She was genuinely rich.
Compared to that, March 7th really didn't have any qualities that attracted him.
[Stelle: What if I prepare a cup of sleeping tea and take off her shoes?]
[Levi: I'd lick the hell out of them]
'I'd suck on those feet until the bones fracture!'
[Kiana: That's a crime!!!]
The real group owner absolutely will not allow such things in this chat group.
[Levi (private chat): Thus and thus, like this and like that.]
[Stelle: Hehehe.]
[Kiana: ?]
[Stelle: He told me to prepare a cup of sleeping tea for you too.]
Instant betrayal.
[Kiana: Levi!]
[Levi: Bullshit! I told you to kneel and apologize to adorable Kiana!]
[Levi: @Kiana, you have to trust me!]
[Levi: You've known me for so long. You understand me... If it were me, I normally wouldn't use sleeping tea
[Elysia: The more you struggle, the more excited you get, right?]
[Levi: Hehehe, how did you even know that? Come here and let me check whether your development is normal.]
[Elysia: What a pervert!]
[Asta: ...]
[Kiana: ...]
[Stelle: ...]
[Lumine: ...]
[Bronya: ...]
