Chapter 45: Kevin as an Intelligence Officer
"But, I finally got a clue about the captain..." Mei struggled to say something.
Although she didn't finish her words, Elysia knew very well what Mei wanted to say.
"It's okay. Since we already have a clue, there's no need to rush, right?" Elysia carefully removed the debris around Mei's desk.
Under the gentle comfort of Elysia, Mei finally slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep with her arms as a pillow on the table next to this unknown food stall.
In the eyes of the pink fairy lady, the sleeping Mei slowly turned into countless purple spots of light and finally dissipated into the air.
This scene is beautiful and dreamy, just like the little mermaid in the fairy tale who disappeared into the air and turned into foam...
But this dreamy scene did not attract the attention of any passers-by, and the countless people coming and going still moved forward along their predetermined paths.
The sudden appearance and disappearance of Mei Raiden was like a small bug that was harmonized by a programmer and did not attract anyone's attention at all.
Looking at the calm expression on Elysia's face, it was as if she had foreseen the scene before her.
"I hope this beautiful dream will comfort you in the other world," Elysia said with a smile. Looking up at the brilliant night sky, was like bidding a brief farewell to her friend.
But right after that, Elysia made another distressed expression: "But the next time Mei comes over, how should I explain to her about that captain?"
Just when Miss Pink Fairy was in distress, she happened to see it.
Kevin also tiptoed over from the other direction.
He whispered to Elysia, "Where is your friend Miss Mei? Is she gone?"
Elysia looked helplessly at the useless Kevin in front of her, then sighed softly and nodded.
"Oh..." Seeing that Elysia was sure that Miss Mei had left, Kevin relaxed completely.
He sat down opposite Elysia and asked, "What on earth happened to Miss Mei, Elysia?"
Kevin pondered for a while, hoping to find a good word to describe Mei's mental state: "She feels like a resentful woman in a house, just like the heroine in that TV series Mei recommended to me some time ago, whose husband was abducted by her bestie."
As soon as Kevin finished speaking, he felt a pair of sharp eyes piercing his spine.
When he turned around, he saw Elysia, her beautiful cherry lips pursed together in a somewhat awkward manner, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
Her beautiful face was now filled with sorrow, an expression that was rarely seen on the pink fairy lady who was always optimistic and cheerful and smiling all the time.
"Could it be?" Kevin asked Elysia tentatively, "Is it really like what's shown in those TV dramas?"
Now she really didn't know what to say, and Elysia could only give Kevin a complicated look.
"...oh..." Kevin took a breath, "I was wondering why Miss Mei has so much resentment"
Then he revealed a gossipy look: "They say art comes from life, but I didn't expect that the plots in those melodramatic TV dramas actually happened in real life?"
"And it's happening next to us?"
Then, Kevin asked with some anticipation, "Can I ask, does the best friend who stole Miss Mei's boyfriend also live in this city?"
At this moment, Elysia, who didn't want to talk to Kevin at all, made a surprised and disgusted expression at Kevin.
That expression seemed to be saying, how could someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you, Kevin, be so gossipy?
Seeing Elysia's expression, Kevin scratched his head embarrassedly, realizing that this problem might involve many things.
Maybe Elysia didn't want to answer herself...
"Alas, Miss Mei is really unlucky in marriage. She actually met such a scumbag and a best friend who stole her boyfriend."
"That can't be said..." After hearing this, Elysia finally said in a very tangled tone, "The situation between them is very special... so special that outsiders like us can't understand it at all."
"Ahem!" Two loud coughs suddenly sounded among the crowd not far away.
Sora and Kiana, who were originally chatting and laughing, came over from the other end of the street. Judging from their clothes and relaxed posture, it was obvious that they were out for a walk at night.
That's right, the journey to find the captain that Mei imagined in her mind was not that difficult.
The place where Mei appeared this time was only one street away from Valkyrie Dessert Shop, and it only took about five or six minutes to walk there.
However, at this moment, the couple seemed to have sensed something in their minds and sneezed loudly on the street at the same time.
"Isn't that Kiana?" Kevin immediately stood up and greeted his acquaintances enthusiastically, "Why did you come at night?"
"Let me tell you, I got a big melon today... Ouch!" The sudden severe pain from his feet made Kevin's expression distorted in an instant.
When he looked down, he found that a high-heeled shoe had suddenly appeared on his left foot, which was wearing a sneaker.
The pointed insole pressed heavily on the sole of his foot.
Kevin, who was almost in tears due to the pain, looked at Elysia who was smiling kindly at him from the other side of the table with his peripheral vision.
While Sora and Kiana had not arrived yet, in the gap between the small team around them.
Elysia said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "If you dare to tell anyone about what happened today, I will kill you..."
"Hmm... Hmmmm!" Feeling his feet getting more and more painful, Kevin nodded his head frantically like pounding garlic.
Seeing this, Elysia nodded with great satisfaction.
At the same time, Kevin's big head, which originally had a low EQ, was working quickly.
'Why didn't Elysia let me tell this to Sora and Kiana? Is there any hidden reason behind this?'
'Could it be…' Kevin is currently in the process of transforming into the community's most senior intelligence officer.
