Xiling: ...
Kevin: ...
"Why aren't you talking? Are you embarrassed because I'm here? Well, just treat me as your new friend and have a nice chat~" Elysia sat on a stool, gazing at Kevin and Xiling with a wide smile.
[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: What's going on?
[High School Student Kevin]: I don't know.
[High School Student Kevin]: I used your explanation perfectly, but she still won't leave.
[High School Student Kevin]: Maybe she's noticed something?
[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: Probably. Don't panic. I'll get discharged soon. The doctor already said I could leave.
[High School Student Kevin]: What are you talking about? You could have left a long time ago!
[High School Student Kevin]: Then why do you ask me to take care of you every day?
[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: I just wanted to experience being cared for a little while. You're doing well. I'll call on you next time during roll call.
Ignoring Kevin's message bombardment in the chat group, Xiling smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, and I am also happy to be able to meet you, Miss Elysia. My name is Xiling."
"Oh my! How happy are you?" Elysia blinked her eyes curiously, as if she were genuinely intrigued by the question.
"This question is child's play."
Xiling replied seriously, "I'm happier than you meeting me."
"Hahaha," Elysia chuckled, covering her lips, as if Xiling's answer had made her very happy.
"Xiling, you really know how to please girls."
Kevin: "..."
"Miss Elysia, I need to change my clothes. I'm getting discharged today. See?" Xiling said. Saying that he needed to change, and it wouldn't be nice for a girl to be here alone.
However, Elysia seemed to have no intention of leaving. "Well, go ahead, I don't mind."
"I do mind. A lot," Xiling said, unconcerned about whether she was a girl or not.
He jumped off the bed, pushed Elysia out of the room, and then locked the door.
"I hate people like this who have no boundaries. Who cares if she doesn't care?" Xiling complained as he took off his clothes. Then, under Kevin's watchful eye, he dragged them to the hospital room, still wearing another set of clothes underneath.
Kevin remained silent, staring at Xiling.
"What's wrong with me wearing an extra layer of clothing? It's cold, so what's wrong with me wearing an extra layer of clothing?"
"Nothing."
Kevin looked towards the hospital room door.
[High School Student Kevin]: I have a feeling she recognized something.
[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: It's possible. After all, her eyes are different from those of ordinary people.
[High School Student Kevin]: So, what do we do now?
[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: Just run away.
[I Don't Want to Be a Hero Anymore]: But I have to disappear naturally, otherwise you'll be in trouble.
[High School Student Kevin]: Then it's up to you.
Outside the hospital room, Elysia leaned against the wall, her lips curled slightly, her shoes tapping against the floor from time to time, as if she had encountered something that made her very happy. "It must be him." While others might not be able to see Xiling's face while shrouded in magic, Elysia could see through it.
However, Xiling's entire body was charred black at the time, and even with her sight through the magic, Elysia couldn't see Xiling's true appearance. But the moment she opened the ward door and met his eyes, Elysia recognized him. He was the one she was looking for.
"The hero is a very handsome boy, but he seems a little resistant to me. I wonder why? I genuinely want to be his friend." Elysia turned her head in annoyance, but a smile soon returned to her face. "Perhaps it's because he didn't see my sincerity~ The Hero's Strategy Campaign begins now~"
The ward door opened, and Xiling saw Elysia grinning. "What's wrong with this kid?"
At the sound of the door opening, someone's fantasies subsided. With a tap of her heel, Elysia turned to face the two people standing at the ward door. "Wow, I didn't expect you boys to change clothes so quickly~"
"By the way, Miss Elysia..."
Elysia interrupted Xiling's next words. "Just call me Elysia. Of course, you can also call me Ely~"
"Okay then, goodbye, Elysia." Waving to Elysia, Xiling, and Kevin turned and prepared to leave.
The sound of brisk footsteps echoed behind them, and Xiling had only one thought in his mind: "It's over. I've been harassed by a lesbian."
Even after the two checked out and left the hospital, the brisk footsteps continued to follow them steadily.
"You should know I have training this afternoon," Kevin suddenly said to Xiling.
"No, are you abandoning your brothers and going off alone at this time?" Xiling didn't say anything, but his stunned expression made his point clear.
"How can I help you, then?" Kevin glared back at Xiling.
... It seemed he had nothing that could help him.
"Alright, then, keep training."
...
Just as Xiling watched Kevin leave, Elysia approached him. Forming binoculars with her hands, she gazed in Kevin's direction. "Kevin's gone."
"After all, he still has things to do. By the way, Elysia, what's up?"
"Well, I~"
Under Xiling's gaze, Elysia drew out her words, then walked past Xiling in Kevin's direction. Halfway through, Elysia stopped and turned back. "Actually, we're going the same way~ And it's nice to meet you today, Xiling."
With these words, Elysia turned and walked away. Continuing to pester him would leave a bad impression, and Elysia understood this point. There was plenty of time, and she would make the hero acknowledge his identity to her. Elysia was brimming with confidence today.
Watching Elysia go away, Xiling was first puzzled, then perplexed, and finally ecstatic. "What? It's so simple! I thought I'd show off my escape skills today."
Seeing Elysia leave, Xiling, without hesitation, slipped into an alley. A flash of white light passed, and the alley fell into silence.
Elysia could never have imagined that Xiling was from another world. Her plan would be practically impossible to execute on Xiling, as Xiling had long since departed this world.
Even if she pestered Kevin daily, demanding Xiling's location, could she force him into confessing? If she did, she wouldn't be Elysia.
As for whether someone else would force Kevin into confessing, Xilin stated that they were no longer just an ordinary villain. At that point, he would unsheath his holy sword.
Back in his own world, Xilin felt a surge of magical energy coursing into his body. It wouldn't be long before all his injuries healed.
Just as Xilin was sighing at the joy of being home...
