Chapter 256 - Chapter 256: A One Centimeter Height Difference!

Elysia stood tall and introduced herself to everyone, like a proud and beautiful swan; however, while introducing herself, this Miss Pink Elf occasionally glanced at the four interesting little ones in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

"Besides Kevin, you can also meet the world-famous superstar, Miss Eden. She is a singer renowned across the globe."

Seeing the tempted expressions on Bronya and her group's faces, Elysia felt a surge of joy and continued to fan the flames.

"And there's more! There's even a cat-girl among the MANTIS, a real cat-girl, the kind that can say 'meow.' Don't you want to go pet her?"

To attract their attention, Elysia practically sold out all the beautiful girls in her squad.

"If you don't like cats, there's also a very cute little girl. She's around the same age as you all. She especially loves painting and is the little painter of our Fire Moth."

"If you're lucky, you might even get a portrait painted just for you by the little painter."

"Ah, this..."

Bronya and Seele and the others exchanged glances again: Does Fire Moth really specialize in collecting beautiful girls of all different archetypes???

"Or perhaps you prefer types like the 'Big Tech Dominatrix'? That's how your Technical Department likes to call those geniuses, right?"

"We have someone like that among our MANTIS too! And she's a Great Magician—I can let her perform some interesting magic tricks for you~"

"Bronya is starting to get curious about what other kind of strange people are actually in Fire Moth... Is this really an organization meant to fight the Honkai?"

Bronya's expression twisted slightly as she stared suspiciously at Elysia...

"Cat girls, magicians, painters, the world's number one idol... Bronya suspects Fire Moth also has qigong masters, charlatan nuns, demon scientists, and all sorts of other nonsense..."

"Does Fire Moth just accept anyone who walks through the door?"

It seemed that Elysia's attempts to introduce the organization in a way that would entice the group had instead led Bronya and the others to wildly misunderstand Fire Moth... And their reactions and replies also left the group speechless—

"Whoa, how did you guess all that? There really are people of those exact types in Fire Moth! And they're all beautiful girls just like Elysia!"

"Hmm, let me think... The qigong master would be Hua, that's a safe bet. The charlatan nun... that's definitely Aponia. And the demon scientist at the end... Mobius?"

"Bronya suspects she's already boarded some sort of cursed train..."

"Hahaha! Don't be so tense! Aside from a few specific guys among the Flame-Chasers, everyone is actually very easy to get along with!"

"Anyway, do you want me to give you a tour? Please? Pretty please!"

"This is the limited-edition special service from the beautiful Elysia!"

"..."

"I have a feeling that even if we refuse... Miss Pink Elf, you'll keep clinging to us anyway."

Bronie sighed, exchanging glances with Bronya and Seele. The latter two nodded, some with helplessness, some with curiosity.

"Very well, we agree... We'll trouble this Miss Pink Elf to personally lead the way and introduce us around~"

After receiving her companions' assent, Bronie nodded to Elysia.

"Yay! Also, Miss Pink Elf? Hmm~ That's a very interesting nickname... I'll gratefully accept it!"

"However, as one of the preparations before we set off, don't you want to introduce yourselves?"

"People like you are very rare, even in Fire Moth... Two people who look almost exactly the same... Excluding some Heroes with strange abilities, this is basically unheard of."

"So, are you two sisters?"

Elysia's gaze filled with curiosity.

"Uh-huh, that's right, they're sisters! The long-haired one is the Big Sister, and the short-haired one is the Little Sister. They both just happen to be named Seele."

Bronie nodded vigorously, clearly assigning roles to the two Seeles behind her, and the latter two didn't even object.

"Ooh! What a wonderful combination of a strong Big Sister and a vulnerable Little Sister!"

"And how about you two cuties...?"

Elysia's attention shifted to the two Bronyas...

"Bronya will make a statement first: Bronya feels that she is the older sister."

Contestant Bronya chose to seize the initiative and claim the high ground!

"Huh? Clearly, Bronie should be the older one! I'm a whole centimeter taller than you, Bronya."

Contestant Bronie refused to be outdone, immediately playing her trump card and attempting to crush her opponent with a 1cm height advantage.

"Bronya expresses her contempt for Bronie's height advantage argument and declares that the current Bronya is larger than Bronie."

"Huh? Where are you larger than me, Bronya?!!"

Hearing this, Bronie stared at her companion with an expression of utter disbelief.

"Hmph! Of course, it's a girl's most important asset."

Bronya proudly puffed out her chest with a triumphant expression. Thanks to the growth of the past two years and the excellent care of St. Freya's top chef, Mei, her assets had gradually taken shape.

Well... it was probably about the same size as the original Miss Snow and the current Miss Imhotep. Not small, but not exactly large either. All that could be said was that she could no longer be grouped with Fu Hua into the same "flat" category.

Of course, this couldn't compare to a certain Miss Pink Elf who was simply watching the spectacle with delight. Bronie, having been critically hit by Bronya, stared at her own hopelessly flat chest. Suddenly, a mysterious melody echoed in her mind:

[ You are one centimeter taller than her, but is all of this really worth it? ]

"Miss Bronya, you are being truly despicable right now!"

Bronie clutched her chest in agony from the critical hit and real damage, staring at Bronya with a look of utter indignation.

"Hmph, so now you know who the older sister is."

"...Yes, yes, you're the bigger-chested one, you get to speak."

The Bronie-class ship has sunk!

"Oh my, what a fascinating pair of little ones~ A sincere and beautiful sisterly bond between young maidens! Now, Miss Bronya, Miss Bronie, and the two Miss Seeles, please follow me,"

"Let's go meet those legendary Flame-Chasers~ Although you might have already seen most of them in the Fire Moth reports,"

"But reports in newspapers are always a bit different from seeing the real people, don't you think?"

Offering a playful "after you" gesture to Bronya and the others, Elysia took the lead and stepped into the Fire Moth headquarters.

"Oh right! The Fire Moth Survival Guide: Never trust Mobius, never chat with Kalpas, and no matter what problem arises... please say, it was Kalpas's fault. Ah... actually, saying it was Mobius's fault wouldn't be a problem either."
