"What do you mean... it might not be for long?"
The memory entities present in data form, Sakura and Elysia, exchanged a glance. The Miss Fairy blinked her eyes prettily.
Cherry blossoms drifted down behind her, yet her fluttering long hair was a shade of cherry-pink that countless petals could never dye.
Her lightly powdered cheeks reflected a pure and sacred atmosphere, an intense touch of spiritual purity as vibrant as flying flowers.
"Born of love, with blood like flowers and a heart like crystal, undefeated across countless battlefields! This person often wanders alone, flirting with girls in the paradise of the garden. This body is surely forged by infinite power!"
With an affectedly solemn voice and a straightened posture, a hand wrapped in a black silk glove rested on her hip. Silver Wing raised her right hand, leaving Elysia—who was going all out with her charm—looking completely bewildered.
"?"
"??"
This baffling behavior caught everyone present off guard, causing a rain of golden question marks to seemingly pop up in the cherry blossom forest.
Yae Sakura mentally transitioned from a shrine maiden to a thoroughly confused monk.
Sakura, who favored heavy death metal music, was slightly taken aback before seemingly understanding something and nodding in realization.
"Is Sister Silver Wing... having a chuunibyou episode?" With a stunned expression, Rin spoke cautiously in a probing tone.
"Chuunibyou? What kind of illness is that? Why have I never heard of it?" Yae Sakura was thoroughly confused.
Although a Yae Village shrine maiden's main duty was combat, in order to properly care for her younger sister on her own, Yae Sakura had seriously studied pharmacology. She was considered a famous, highly capable healer in the village who could cure any illness.
She had never heard of a disease with such a strange name.
"It's a disease that everyone is born with," Kiana hugged her knees, explaining with an air of absolute seriousness and solemnity, as if it were a grave matter. "This disease has no cure and no medicine can treat it. From birth to death, it remains forever buried in a person's heart. In most cases, it stops flaring up as time goes by, but no one knows when it might suddenly strike again.
"Still, Silver Wing is so cute when her chuunibyou acts up~ Hehe~ Hehe~!"
Her serious expression barely lasted until she finished her sentence. Then, under Yae Sakura's subtle gaze, the white-haired dumpling's small face gradually turned perverted, drooling and letting out the incoherent sounds of a total fangirl.
"It should be a line Silver Wing designed for Elysia. H-how can you call it chuunibyou?" Her cherry-colored lips pursed slightly. After a brief silence, Mei argued on Silver Wing's behalf, standing up to speak for chuunibyou patients everywhere.
What chuunibyou? There is no such thing as chuunibyou in this world!
Mostly, if Silver Wing's actions counted as chuunibyou, then what did it make her own 'sublimation' of the Hokushin Itto-ryu during her sparring sessions with Sakura and Yae Sakura?
Because the Third Eruption had been smothered in its cradle, she didn't bear the weight of millions of lives in Nagazora on her shoulders. Certain aspects of Mei's personality had not been crushed by self-blame and guilt.
This so-called 'sublimation' was simply altering the originally simple and aesthetic names of the sword forms to fit her personal flair.
For example, after combining the 'Wondrous Sword' with her Herrscher power, Mei renamed it [Godspeed Shadowless Tsukuyomi]. The key was that by using the Authority of Thunder's electromagnetic field to accelerate, it truly did become incredibly fast!
As long as knowledge and action were united, making her words reality, how could it be considered chuunibyou?
Other forms followed suit. The 'True Sword' became the [Nine-Character Kalpa Blade Phantom World Light].
The 'Secret Sword' became the [Takemikazuchi Eight Million Gods].
These names all had historical allusions. Besides, didn't they sound super cool? How could anyone call that chuunibyou?
Silver Wing truly understands me!
Previously, when Kiana watched Mei train and heard her calling out these move names mid-battle, she had laughed so hard she clutched her stomach. She laughed until she cried.
Because Mei flew into a fit of embarrassment and rage, the white-haired dumpling paid the agonizing price of starving for three whole meals just for those few laughs!
From then on, she never dared to mock chuunibyou again.
Silver Wing was different. She had even praised her naming sense, saying that shouting them out during battle was exactly the kind of imposing aura a warrior saving the world should have!
It was just that recently, during training, Mei occasionally felt like someone was secretly taking pictures of her.
But on second thought, this was the Elysian Realm. How could anyone be secretly photographing her in a place like this?
It had to be an illusion.
As the epicenter of the chuunibyou force field, Silver Wing remained completely composed, not feeling the slightest bit of shame. What's youth without a little chuunibyou!
Silver Wing flashed a brilliant smile at Mei, who had just tried to cover for her.
She silently decided to add an extra zero to the future selling price of the dark history recordings she had taken of Mei, as a token of her gratitude.
"? Is that so? Mhmm~" Tapping her delicate finger lightly against her red lips, Elysia nodded. Like magic, she pulled out a pink notebook printed with a floral pattern from her four-dimensional cleavage—an item she had traded from Phyllis.
She drew out a fairy-tale-style crystal pen and earnestly wrote in the notebook:
"Born of cuteness, with blood like flowers and a heart like crystal... This is the line Silver Wing designed for Elysia! It fits perfectly! I'm so happy! So happy! Tomorrow's Elysia must remember to use this during the next self-introduction~"
Elysia even read the contents out loud as she wrote.
Curiosity piqued by the contents of the notebook, Silver Wing leaned over to take a look, a smiling expression on her face. "Aren't you embellishing these details a bit too much? What's this about 'the perfect and beautiful Great Elf King', 'my cutest friend', and 'my beloved Elysia-chan'? I don't remember ever saying these things."
"My? You didn't say it? Why do I feel like Silver Wing is just being shy?" Drawing a pink heart at the end as a period, Elysia leaned her delicate body forward, closing the distance with Silver Wing. Her soft lips parted and closed, her playful wink seemingly discharging electricity on purpose.
With their eyes reflecting each other, Silver Wing could even feel the Miss Fairy's ambiguous breathing.
"However, a tsundere Silver Wing is also super cute! I really like it~"
"Shy? Tsundere? Are these words meant to describe me?" Silver Wing chuckled with piqued interest.
"Mhm~ No need to feel embarrassed. Being cared for and liked by a beautiful girl who looks like she walked right out of a fairy tale book like me... feeling shy is completely normal~" Elysia giggled, though she was secretly feeling competitive inside.
So much time had passed. She had already seen the adorable blushing faces of Mei, Kiana, and Bronya. Silver Wing was the only one she had never managed to make show a shy expression.
Armed with a magenta camera she had also bought from Phyllis, she had originally planned to snap a cute picture of Silver Wing blushing today. Upon learning about the picnic, she had specially prepared a series of schemes to tease Silver Wing, coming fully prepared.
Elysia watched as the silver-gray-haired beauty tilted her head, seemingly pondering something, before suddenly breaking into a radiant smile. "Elysia, let me teach you the quickest method to make the girl you like blush."
"Hmm? ...!!!" Elysia didn't even have time to switch to a playful smile. The silver-gray curly-haired beauty had already leaned forward, kissing the corner of her mouth, and extended her...
The Miss Fairy's expression froze on her face. She was completely stunned.
No way, bro, are you the Elysian Realm's Flirt King, or am I?!
After a brief moment of astonishment, that pretty face, as resplendent as peach blossoms, instantly flushed bright red.
"Hehe~" Raising her head, Silver Wing moistened her red lips with her soft pink tongue.
Hilarious. A mere pink fatty using such insignificant parlor tricks dares to show off her meager skills before me?
Elysia was undoubtedly high-attack and low-defense, but Silver Wing... Caelus was a Masked Fool. His skin was several times thicker than the Great Wall; you could even say he had no face, only a mask.
How are you supposed to fight against that!?
"Ah, this..." Sakura tactically leaned back as she watched. The clash between these two big shots left her sighing in pure amazement.
"Don't look." Sakura turned her head. Suddenly thinking of something, she reached out and covered Rin's eyes.
Even though Rin's actual age was long past the point of being restricted from R-rated content, Sakura's impression of her remained stuck in her fourteen-year-old phase.
"I want a kiss from Silver Wing too!" Kiana's eyes went wide. She looked at Elysia, wishing she could take her place. Occasionally, she glanced at Silver Wing, feeling that taking her place wouldn't be bad either.
The Miss Fairy's character model was simply too overpowered; Kiana completely couldn't resist it, and she thoroughly enjoyed it whenever she was teased.
Mei watched with a flushed face and red ears, but her expression didn't look too good.
Miss Mei had actually been quite troubled lately. Unlike the Paramecium who kept muttering about how the Chinese characters for 'marriage' both had the 'female' radical—meaning they were originally meant for two women to be together—Mei felt that her own sexual orientation was, for the time being, still normal.
But four months of time had allowed her to gradually realize certain things in her heart. She seemed to have fallen for Silver Wing.
She wasn't the kind of pervert who lusted after Silver Wing's body like Kiana. What Mei had fallen for was Silver Wing's personality. Her soul.
But Silver Wing was a girl. This made Miss Mei doubt whether something had truly gone wrong with her sexual orientation... or if she had been overly influenced by Kiana's daily spouting of crooked heresies.
Truth be told, there were times when Mei felt Silver Wing was quite like a boy. It was almost like a big boy wearing the avatar of a beautiful girl—but how could such a thing be possible?
It was this exact discrepancy between Silver Wing's outer appearance and her inner substance that left Mei so confused about her own sexuality.
Did she actually like boys or girls?
Mei felt that she simply liked Silver Wing, regardless of her gender.
"Alright, next up, time to get down to business." Having dealt with the high-attack, low-defense pink fatty and sending her into deep contemplation about life, Silver Wing arrived in front of Rin.
"B-business?" Swallowing hard, Rin's sapphire-like eyes stared fixedly at Silver Wing's lips. Who knows what she was thinking of, but her small face flushed red as she lowered her head.
"Sakura, don't look at me like that." Raising a hand to make a placating gesture towards Sakura, who was giving her a subtle, complicated look, Silver Wing smiled warmly. "I just want to give Rin a wave of enhancements."
Besides, even if she did want to do something, she'd have to use her main body for the first time, wouldn't she?
"Enhancements?" Sakura and Rin looked at each other in dismay.
"That's right." Silver Wing snapped her fingers and took Rin's hand. "Rin, revert to the form of the Jizo Mitama."
"Oh, okay, Sister Silver Wing!" Although she didn't know what Sister Silver Wing wanted to do, Rin obediently dispersed into dark red particles, reconstructing into a gorgeous black and red tachi.
Gripping the scabbard with one hand, Silver Wing raised the blade before her, her fingertips caressing the veins and textures along the sword.
"Fantasy Evolution—Divine Awakening!"
Silver Wing focused her mind on the System interface in her head. With the Jizo Mitama's intimacy level, the Divine Awakening had a one hundred percent success rate!
The instant Silver Wing pressed the awakening button on the System interface, the entire Elysian Realm seemed to pause.
