Chapter 141: Pardo! My Pardo!!!!
"......"
Kevin couldn't help but be left speechless by this unpredictable fellow. Fortunately, he was already used to such antics. He quickly took a deep breath and readjusted his mindset, asking, "So then, is this your reason for standing in the back watching without helping?"
"You... couldn't possibly have really turned into this form and can never change back, right?"
Kevin suddenly felt that although the 163cm tall Elysia often played strange jokes on him, no matter what, she was still better than this little creature in front of him. At least with her, he didn't really have to worry about anything.
But what was truly maddening was that after hearing Kevin's question, little Elysia lowered her head, poked her fingers, and responded somewhat sheepishly: "Well, you know... magic that reverses aging, having some small side effects is also quite normal... right? Right?"
Casually changing size at will is not a good habit!
Moreover, little Elysia had now genuinely started to feel that her childhood self was even cuter than her grown-up self... She had been driven to the point of schizophrenia by her own cuteness!
"Then you shouldn't be completely without any means at all, right? What about your weapon?"
Kevin could tolerate the act of turning into a child just to be cuter. After all, this was indeed something Elysia was capable of doing. He couldn't exactly force her to maintain herself in a specific state.
But... if you're saying you've even abandoned all your abilities, isn't that going a bit too far?
"Hmm, how should I put this... Ah! Got it!"
This little creature actually lowered her head, rested her chin on her hand, and pondered for a moment before suddenly clapping her hands and placing them on her sides—
Snap—!
With a crisp sound, a beautiful longbow promptly landed in her hands. However...
"......"
Looking at the longbow that seemed even slightly taller than herself, Kevin inevitably fell into prolonged contemplation.
"That's exactly it! Look at this thing, how exactly is it supposed to be used? No matter how you use it, it's just not cute at all, not aesthetically pleasing at all!"
As she spoke, she even personally demonstrated various poses for Kevin, as if to prove that with her current physique, she simply couldn't handle such a large longbow. She completely failed to notice the dangerous black lines on Kevin's forehead multiplying exponentially.
As a MANTIS, being able to precisely control one's own forehead—isn't that impressive enough?
Slap—!
"Ouch! You... why did you hit me again!"
The crisp sound of a slap accompanied by that pained cry once again echoed across the plaza—others might go three days without a beating and start tearing off roof tiles; how come this little Elysia can't even remember for three minutes after just being hit?
———— ————
After enduring another round of indescribably painful torment, she finally became much more subdued. Hugging her little head, she kept apologizing: "Wuwuwu, I'm sorry... really, this time it's for real... I won't dare do it again next time!"
"Wuwuwu..."
Whether she would change her mind later or not, at least at this very moment, her feelings of remorse and apology were absolutely genuine without the slightest hint of pretense.
"Boss Kevin! We're here, Boss Kevin!"
Suddenly, at that moment, an excited shout came from the edge of the plaza. Finally seeing her boss, Pardo immediately grabbed Qingque beside her and rushed over at high speed.
Normally speaking, their travel speed certainly couldn't possibly keep up with Kevin, who could leave airplanes in the dust in minutes. If he hadn't cleared the path for them on his way here beforehand, it would have been questionable whether these two individuals with almost no combat ability could successfully navigate through the current Artisanship Commission.
After finally reaching Kevin's side, Pardo first noticed the little Elysia lying at his feet whimpering and asked curiously, "Huh? Boss Kevin, this child..."
Without a doubt, Pardo actually had little resistance to cute children; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so concerned about those kids earlier.
Upon hearing Pardo's voice, the little Elysia who had been lying on the ground trembled all over, causing her crying to abruptly stop... Then the next second, she suddenly pounced into Pardo's arms with lightning speed!
"Pardo... Pardo! You finally came! Kevin bullied me, he bullied me... wuwuwu...!"
That pitiful appearance was so heart-wrenching, yet it left little Pardo completely at a loss.
"Eh? Wait, what? What's going on? I... I don't know her!"
Faced with such a scene, Pardo had no idea how to respond. She could only raise both her little hands in a very flustered manner to express her innocence.
It was true she liked children, but... but she was also socially anxious! Who knew what to do when a child suddenly hugged you and started wailing? Pardo even felt that with this demeanor, she was just short of calling out "Mom"!
"Wh-what do you mean? Sister Pardo, your brain doesn't recognize me anymore? QAQ"
Little Elysia lifted her head to meet Pardo's gaze face-to-face. With tears welling in her eyes, she also took the opportunity to confirm the other's physical condition.
Not only cat ears but even a cat tail... And you still say you're not the real Pardo!
She could smell it! How could she possibly mistake it? Her bedding used to smell exactly like this back then—absolutely no mistake!
"But, but I really haven't seen you before?!"
Pardo looked up and cast a very helpless glance towards Kevin. Finally succeeding in prompting her boss to intervene, Kevin grabbed little Elysia by the collar and lifted her up as she flailed her limbs.
"Didn't you see that person named Luocha earlier... Don't you understand yet?"
"But... but that's impossible? How could I possibly mistake...?"
Little Elysia's gaze kept shifting between Kevin and Pardo. On one side was Kevin who seemed absolutely certain; on the other was Pardo who appeared somewhat embarrassed and lowered her head. This made her start doubting herself.
Although she knew about the concept of counterparts and had never encountered one before this... but, but... she just believed she absolutely couldn't be mistaken!
How could Elysia possibly fail to recognize her own little wife!!!
