Chapter 4: Are You Deliberately Picking a Fight?
Letting Elysia soothe the cook's mental state was, of course, a piece of cake. That's what she was good at!
But doing it with his body, which had a slight case of "brain wiggles," was a bit of a torture.
So, Jiang Qiao researched the chat group in his head and found a way to use it.
—Red Envelopes.
By spending a bit of points, he could send all sorts of things to group members, such as items.
The points came from two sources: one point from daily check-ins, and another special panel—Dimensional Commissions.
This was a task panel, and completing the tasks that appeared would also give points.
Jiang Qiao: Online now, folks, does anyone have any fast-acting medicine or something to cure brain wiggles?
Jiang Qiao directly chose to ask the all-knowing group members for help.
However, the chat group fell into a brief silence.
He thought for a moment, and it made sense.
Looking at the group members who had appeared before—
The red-haired girl from Madoka Magica, yes, the magical girl system was quite versatile, they had all sorts of abilities, but you still had to choose the right person for a healer! Pink and blue haired girls could do it, but asking a red-haired illusionist for healing was just deliberately picking a fight, wasn't it?
Lol, no milk, not a drop could be squeezed out!
And Hu Tao...she was in the funeral business. Rather than asking for medicine from her, it would be more appropriate to reserve a coffin and a funeral. Hoping that the dishes from those second-dimensional games could be used as medicine in reality was just wishful thinking!
As for Jiang Qiao himself, he was on the Previous Era side. And in that era the tech tree hadn't been fully unlocked. Even if he asked Mobius, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Hu Tao: Um, should I go to Bubu Pharmacy and ask Dr. Baizhu to get some for you?
Baizhu could definitely treat brain wiggles, but hoping he'd give you something that worked right away was just wishful thinking. It would definitely take a while for the medicine to take effect.
Elysia: Oh my, there's no need to worry. While it's a bit uncomfortable, I can still act normally~
She was, after all, a soldier of Fire Moth. Even if it wasn't her body, just a slight case of brain wiggles wouldn't be a problem.
Future Chieftain of the Crimson Demons: Um, I have some medicine here, but I don't know if it will work.
The suddenly appearing message caught Jiang Qiao's attention. He only then noticed this low-profile group member.
This ID... Crimson Demons, Megumin? No, it should be Yunyun!
Jiang Qiao instantly made his judgment.
The world of Konosuba certainly had plenty of magical items.
Jiang Qiao: Try it?
Yunyun: O-Okay!
—Yunyun sent you a red envelope.
Looking at the packet of medicine that appeared before him, Jiang Qiao almost fainted.
He wasn't injured, what good was sending it to him?!
Jiang Qiao: Idiot, not me, it's for Elysia.
Yunyun: Ah! I'm sorry... I'll resend it!
Yunyun: Uh... no points left.
Currently, everyone only had one point from the daily check-in, so Yunyun, after sending one to Jiang Qiao, was naturally broke.
"Such Konosuba-esque behavior,"
Jiang Qiao was speechless, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, it was his fault for not explaining clearly, and she meant well.
Luckily he also had a point, so he could resend the medicine in his hand to Elysia.
Wow, the chat group might be the biggest winner here, earning two points from a single pack of medicine!
Elysia: I received it, I received it~
Elysia on the other side of the chat group had already received this second-hand medicine with its accidental detour.
The kind-hearted Yunyun was clearly very concerned about the situation, and quickly asked:
How do you feel?
Elysia: Ehe~ It's such a wonderful feeling, I feel much better, I'll give you a present in return~ Yunyun~
Looking at this message, Jiang Qiao muttered:
"Magic is so unreasonable."
No matter what kind of external or internal injury, one red potion could fix it all.
"Alright, I need to deal with my situation too."
The pink-haired girl stood up, took off her pajamas, and opened the closet in the corner.
As a soldier of Fire Moth, Elysia wouldn't allow Jiang Qiao to stay in his room.
While Elysia was out there to win over Raiden Mei and save Nagazora City, he had to deal with Elysia's life here.
Elysia, who had joined Fire Moth not too long ago, didn't have a closet as full as Jiang Qiao would have imagined. Instead it was quite simple. A Fire Moth soldier's uniform, a set of casual clothes, and a maid outfit. That was it.
"Seriously, MiHoYo is completely skimping on the budget."
Jiang Qiao looked at the Fire Moth uniform and, recalling Elysia from the story, couldn't help but make a comment.
It was completely different!
But that was to be expected. After all, Elysia's most common outfit, her Flame-Chaser uniform, was carefully designed by that great artist Eden. Eden had not joined Fire Moth yet, so where could he get a Flame-Chaser uniform for Jiang Qiao to wear?
Although the early Fire Moth also took into account the aesthetics of their soldier's appearances to some extent, they were still soldiers. And Elysia was still a newbie to the organization. The clothing naturally wouldn't be so stylish.
Just like how Elysia was so proud of her body in the story, the perfect form of this young woman made the clothes fit with ease. Even while dressing, Jiang Qiao could still find the time to look at his own figure.
Not too big, not too small, like young apples and cherries, just right.
"I'm so beautiful."
Feeling refreshed, Jiang Qiao looked at his own graceful figure in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh. But then he quickly patted his cheeks.
Calm down, calm down, this is Elysia's body. He was a real man, a seven-foot-tall man!
Admonishing himself like that, Jiang Qiao adjusted the smile on his face to make it look more like the Elysia he remembered, and then left the room.
What he needed to do today was go to the training grounds.
Jiang Qiao had some concerns about this, as he was a fake Elysia.
Training and all that was completely clueless to him!
But, he quickly discovered an even more serious problem.
—Where was the training ground?
This was a very troubling question for Jiang Qiao.
As an organization funded by various countries in the world to resist the Honkai, Fire Moth's base wasn't small, even in its early stages.
And this fake fatty had to find the training ground in this unfamiliar giant base—
"Morning, Elysia!"
Just as Jiang Qiao was frozen in place, feeling somewhat lost, a light and familiar greeting came from the side.
He looked over, and saw a blue-haired young man wearing a soldier's uniform, smiling as he greeted him.
