At the time, Mobius didn't seem to have much of a reaction, but judging from the message Levi had sent over now, she should have thought of herself as a female pervert back then...
"..."
"Uh... ah... uh."
"Sir!"
Elysia, who had been fidgeting restlessly and was about to go crazy, was suddenly jolted awake by the voice. She raised her head and looked at the new recruits who had finished the training she had assigned them.
She rubbed her chin.
"Do it two more times."
Then she turned her gaze to the chat interface in front of her. "So, what did you do to Doctor?"
She pretended not to remember and didn't tell Levi about her glorious deeds.
Likewise, Levi didn't tell her what he had done in response to her question.
Separated by the group chat, the two of them smiled brightly at each other.
Mobius suddenly spoke from ahead, saying a name that was very familiar to Levi.
"Herrscher."
She turned around, her jade-like eyes fixed on the young man behind her.
According to her original plan, she had intended to take Levi directly to her laboratory and carry him onto her operating table.
But because of the gift, along with the familiar feeling that came rushing over her, she temporarily changed her strategy.
She took him to test his physical strength instead.
The reason she went to that simulator that was still undergoing experiments was mainly because if they went to the place where the Flame-Chasers' soldiers were tested, the data would be uploaded directly to the Flame-Chasers' database.
Mobius didn't want Levi to be exposed to the others yet.
But who could have expected that an assassin would show up there today?
Thinking of this, Mobius sighed.
She looked at Levi's face. After she said the word "Herrscher," his expression didn't change at all.
No, it couldn't be said that there was no change. Between his originally relaxed brows, there was a thick trace of confusion.
"Herrscher?"
He repeated the name Mobius had said, his voice filled with puzzlement.
He didn't know what a Herrscher was?
That made sense. Since Herrscher was a term used within the Flame-Chasers, it was normal for an ordinary person not to know it.
Using this to test him, she really was being stupid.
Maybe he hadn't slept well?
"It's nothing." Mobius shook her head, turned around, and turned her back to Levi. "Come with me."
She yawned. She had originally wanted to buy coffee, but that hadn't happened either.
After returning to the research institute, Blanca saw the doctor come back and was about to greet her, but when she saw who was following behind her,
Levi, whose gaze was still sweeping around the place, her brows instantly furrowed.
"Doctor."
Blanca raised her voice. Mobius's expression remained indifferent. "What is it?"
"I'm not... ah, Elysia..."
"This has nothing to do with her."
Seeing Mobius like this, Blanca sighed deeply.
"Sigh... Not a single one of you knows how to let people worry less."
She then turned her gaze toward Levi, who was walking over.
Noticing Blanca's resentful look toward him, Levi first scratched his head shyly, then extended his hand in a friendly greeting.
"Hello, we meet again."
"Mm."
After her helplessness passed, Blanca's expression returned to its usual indifference. Although Mobius hadn't given any instructions, she had already started moving.
She took out some equipment, called Levi over, and rolled up the sleeve on his arm.
A faint sensation, like a mosquito bite, came from his arm.
Before long, Blanca had a tube of crimson liquid in her hand. After carefully handing it to Mobius, she took out a nutrient solution and tossed it to Levi.
"Although you probably don't need this thing to replenish your energy..."
With his constitution, forget about a small tube of blood. Even if they drew a whole bucket, he might not necessarily feel weak.
"But I'll still give you one."
"Ugh, it tastes awful."
"Yeah. It wasn't this bad before. To stop a certain someone from stealing it, we deliberately made it like this."
Levi froze. A voice surfaced in his mind. "The pink one?"
Blanca looked at him. "I didn't say anything."
From the slight upward curve of her lips, Levi concluded that the accuracy of his guess was as high as ninety-nine percent!
"No wonder she's so fat."
'Case closed!'
Elysia had gotten so fat because she kept stealing things from Mobius's research institute.
Elysia: "?"
[Lumine: What about before?]
After all, the nickname "pink fatty" didn't only appear after she met Mobius.
[Elysia: What the hell are you barking about? I'm asking you, what the hell are you barking about?!]
Elysia was angry.
All day long, it was "pink fatty, pink fatty" on repeat.
Did she really think she was cotton now?
'Ahem~ You really got that one right. I am soft and fluffy cotton.'
[Levi: So cute~]
[Stelle: Lumine only knows how to bark. Unlike me...]
[Lumine: Not only can she bark, she can also make monkey noises?]
[Stelle: ...]
[Levi: Next time you speak, remember not to say everything in one breath.]
[Otherwise, you'll give the other person a chance to attack.]
[Stelle: Got it! Master!]
"..."
'I really can't with this!'
Levi sat in the corner of the research institute, baring his teeth. This girl really intended to make him her master.
He looked toward Mobius and Blanca, who were performing incomprehensible operations on various instruments in front of them.
Without disturbing the two of them, he opened the door of the research institute, held the back of his head, and walked outside with a swagger that showed complete disregard for anyone.
Blanca noticed this movement. She looked up at Levi as he left and pushed up her glasses.
Then she looked at Mobius, who was seriously analyzing the blood sample.
"That's a little unexpected."
Based on what she knew about the doctor, Levi should have immediately lain on the floor after coming in and then been carried onto the operating table.
Yet Mobius hadn't made any move at all. She hadn't even instructed Blanca to draw the blood sample.
Blanca had done it herself based on her understanding of the doctor.
And that Levi, whom she regarded as a dangerous individual, had also been very cooperative with her actions.
There was nothing about him that suggested he was the dangerous individual with a Honkai energy concentration of ninety-nine percent inside his body.
"Do you think those Honkai patients can be cured?"
Mobius suddenly spoke. Blanca froze, stopped what she was doing, and looked up at her.
Blanca couldn't see any useful information on her face.
As if she had never spoken at all, Mobius continued fiddling with the instruments in her hands and paid no attention to Blanca, who was looking at her.

[Cafe]
Not long ago, Levi and Ato had been sitting here.
It was still the same spot, except now it was Levi and Elysia.
"Elysia, do me a favor."
"Considering the reason you gave me the gift, I'll help with anything!"
"Really?"
Hearing Levi's words, Elysia suddenly hesitated.
"Uh, as long as it doesn't go against my principles... I'll do it!"
Elysia's gaze was drawn to the bag of colorful pills Levi took from his pocket.
He put the pills on the table and pushed them toward Elysia. "Feed these things to Ato and Blanca, then lock the two of them in the same room."
"That's illegal, isn't it?"
Elysia looked away, the corner of her mouth twitching. She made it clear that she wouldn't do anything illegal.
Besides, why was Levi so eager about Ato and Blanca's relationship?
He was even willing to resort to such a despicable method.
"..."
