They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

"It's okay, I'm willing to listen to anything that concerns you."

"..."

Not far away, watching the two chatting happily, Yuzuriha Inori remained silent, feeling an emptiness in her heart.

So, what about her?

"Inori Yuzuriha, why are you standing there all alone? Come here quickly!"

Seeing Yuzuriha Inori standing there all alone, Alicia greeted her warmly.

In some ways, her passion is no less than that of Qian Jie.

Before the others arrive, she wants to spend more time getting to know the two lovely girls, Elena and Yuzuriha Inori.

They chatted about topics typically associated with girls.

Yuzuriha Inori, who had been feeling down, was overjoyed when she heard Alicia's words and quickly walked towards the two of them.

"Come here!"

Without Yuzuriha Inori even realizing it, her heart quietly fell for Alicia.

From then on, Alicia lived a life surrounded by women on both sides.

As they talked, the three began to get to know each other.

Since Elena hadn't traveled much yet, she told the two of them stories from her favorite book, "The Adventures of Nicole."

Alicia recounts to the two from a first-person perspective the story of how the previous civilization fought against Honkai energy.

Yuzuriha Inori also shared her experiences in the Jura Forest.

And so, the three of them enjoyed themselves immensely, their melodious laughter echoing through the woods.

During this time, Alicia took out the afternoon tea table and chairs, black tea and cake that were placed in the group chat space.

Enjoy tea and desserts while chatting.

Watching Elena and Yuzuriha Inori talking, Alicia rested her chin on one hand.

As I quietly watched them, a charming smile unconsciously appeared on my face.

Chapter 82 Don't call someone a good person a good person

With afternoon tea as a diversion, the conversation between the three of them didn't seem so boring.

Midway through, Yuzuriha Inori took a break to go back home, let her family know she was safe, and then returned to the place.

After all, some group members haven't arrived yet.

She can't just leave like this.

Of the three, Elena was very curious about this world, but because of Yuzuriha Inori, a native, she didn't think about running around. Instead, she pestered Yuzuriha Inori to conduct various tests and research on magic.

During this time, Elena discovered that the magic element of the world in which Yuzuriha Inori lived was fundamentally different from the mana, the source of magic in her own world, and seemed to contain some more mysterious or higher-level power.

Its complexity was something that even a high-ranking witch like herself couldn't figure out for a while.

However, this also aroused Elena's competitive spirit.

Geniuses are all proud!

Alicia sipped her tea, watching the two people engaged in their research and discussion with a faint smile.

She didn't care about or have any interest in what magic essence was.

Just as she herself had no interest in studying Möbius, but was very interested in Möbius as a person.

For Alicia, simply being around Yuzuriha Inori and Elaina was a very interesting thing.

"..."

As time passed, the once peaceful space became active again.

The pitch-black spatial passage opened, just as it had when Elena appeared before.

Under the watchful eyes of Alicia and the other two, a petite girl with long silver hair and wearing a light blue dress walked out.

This person was none other than Lin Qingtan, who had traveled from the Tianxuan Continent.

However, Qingtan was somewhat bewildered at this moment.

As soon as she landed, she was met with three pairs of eyes.

This made Qingtan, who was already somewhat socially anxious, a little stiff.

She had planned to arrive early to avoid running into a large crowd, but she didn't expect someone to arrive even earlier and faster than her.

"Um, who are you?"

Qingtan cautiously looked at Alicia and the other two.

"Don't be nervous, I am Alicia, and as you can see, I am a girl as beautiful as a flower."

Alicia smiled and offered a reassuring remark before introducing herself.

"Hello, I'm Yuzuriha Inori."

Yuzuriha Inori followed closely behind.

She was naturally quiet, so her self-introduction was very brief.

Elena instinctively wanted to give a preamble with a self-introduction, but remembering the awkward moment earlier, she honestly said, "Hello, I'm Elena."

"Oh, it's you, Sister Alicia, Sister Yuzuriha, and Sister Elena! Hello, I'm Lin Qingtan. You can just call me Xiao Qingtan."

Upon hearing the three names, Qingtan suddenly realized what was happening and then said sweetly.

"Oh, it's Xiao Qingtan! Why are you here so early?"

Upon hearing the name, Alicia was slightly surprised and asked.

"Well, because I feel that it's easier to come in advance and meet everyone one by one than to meet a lot of people at once."

Qingtan didn't mince words and directly expressed her thoughts.

"That's it."

Upon hearing this, the three understood.

Indeed, for people with social anxiety, this could be a good way to relieve tension.

Actually, just imagine it simply.

When relatives gather for a New Year's dinner, is it better to arrive early and greet each relative as they arrive, or to arrive last and awkwardly greet everyone while facing the gazes of a group of relatives?

For someone with social anxiety, the latter is undoubtedly fatal.

At that time, they will be so confused that they won't even be able to say a word before they have to leave in a hurry.

"What about the two older sisters? Are they like me?"

When she said that she was the same as her, Qingtan blushed almost imperceptibly.

"Pretty much, but I also want to learn more about this world. What you hear in the group is never as real as seeing it with your own eyes."

As Alicia spoke, her gaze toward Lin Qingtan was filled with doting affection.

She grew to love this adorable little girl more and more the more she looked at her.

Qingtan nodded her little head slightly.

She largely agreed with what Alicia said.

"Alright, don't stand there, come and sit down. Ling Yu and the others probably won't be here for a while. You can't just stand there all the time, can you?"

Alicia greeted Lin Qingtan.

A chair had appeared beside her without her noticing.

This was naturally taken by Alicia from the group chat space.

After all, she had made thorough preparations before coming.

"Thank you, Sister Alicia."

Seeing this, Qingtan gave a sweet sound that could melt anyone's heart.

As for making advances towards young girls, Alicia has no such thoughts yet.

She wanted to interact with more beautiful girls, but at most they would be her peers, or those not much different in age, like Elena who had just turned 18, or Yuzuriha Inori who was fully developed.

Therefore, Alicia truly regarded Qingtan as her little sister and placed her in the same category as Gretchen.

After taking a seat

Alicia made the latter a cup of black tea, and then took out a few pieces of mousse cake.

"Try it, it's one of my favorite desserts, I hope you'll like it," Alicia said.

"Thank you, Sister Alicia." Qingtan's eyes lit up.

Just the faint sweet smell in the air was enough to whet her appetite.

"Eat up?" Alicia smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Qingtan didn't stand on ceremony.

After taking a sip of black tea, I couldn't wait to taste the mousse cake.

Gently scoop off a piece with a spoon and put it in your mouth.

The cake melts in your mouth, sweet but not cloying, and paired with a sip of rich and mellow black tea, it completely captivates Qingtan's taste buds.

"good to eat!"

The silky smooth texture made Lin Qingtan squint her eyes in enjoyment.

"Eat more if you like it, I have plenty more."

"Uh-huh."

At this moment, Qingtan was too preoccupied to speak and completely became a passive recipient of food.

"Little Qingtan, can you tell me about Ling Yu and the chat group?"

Seeing that Qingtan had almost finished eating, Alicia asked softly.

She was still very curious about the group owner.

"Brother Ling Yu?"

Qingtan was taken aback.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although Brother Lingyu forbids me from saying he's a good person, I think Brother Lingyu is a good person."

"You're not allowed to say someone is a good person?"

Alicia raised an eyebrow; it was indeed a strange move.

"I don't really understand either, but Brother Lingyu seems to be quite averse to the 'friend card'," Qingtan said, shaking her head.

Alicia nodded slightly, signaling Qingtan to continue.

"Actually, Brother Lingyu is very good to us. Before I met Brother Lingyu, I would suffer from the pain of being eroded by evil energy every once in a while. Well, to put it in a more understandable way, it would be countless times more painful than that."

Finally, Qingtan pointed to her lower abdomen.

As a woman herself, Alicia naturally knew what Qingtan was talking about.

Although she had never been here, other members of the Fire Moth had been here before, so she knew a little about it.

"So, in your heart, Ling Yu is a very good person?" Alicia asked.

"Of course, Brother Lingyu is the best. Without Brother Lingyu, I wouldn't be who I am today. Moreover, it was Brother Lingyu who helped heal my father's old injuries," Lin Qingtan said matter-of-factly.

"But I don't know much about chat groups. You can ask Brother Ling Yu. He's the group owner, so he should know more."

"OK?."

Alicia agreed, then smiled and wiped the cream from Qingtan's lips with a napkin.

Qingtan, like a well-behaved child, let Alicia wipe her without resisting.

Alicia gave her a very gentle feeling.
