Doro lowered his head and was silent for a long time. He then raised his head again and said, somewhat uncertainly, "In fact, I've thought a lot and couldn't come up with any means by which Adriana could kill me."

"Bingo!~"

Mohe cheered happily, "That's exactly it, Mr. Doro~ I'm telling you her reason for wanting to kill you. Isn't it because the pitiful struggles of the weak are laughable... Watching the spectacle alone is definitely not as fun as the two of us watching together~ I'm sharing my joy with you~ Look at how ridiculous your former squad members are. They always seem to think that in the last battle, the blessings they provided you were the key to your victory over me... No, maybe not that crucial, but they always believed they played some role."

Mohe approached, like a devoted lover, she hugged Doro, resting her head on his chest: "But Mr. Doro, you know, and I know, that in the final battle, whether it be curses, magic, alchemy, divine art... those things have long lost their meaning. In our field of combat, only ultimate violence matters~ only pure power~ Mr. Doro, those things placed on you are merely the decorations of your brilliance~ they can't kill you, no matter how they struggle."

Doro pushed Mohe away from his embrace.

The girl pouted, "Eh~ you really don't understand romance~ If Lisidorwei is your current wife, taking care of the house and raising children, then I should be your soul mate~ After all, in this world, only you and I are equal existences, we should have some special connection, right? Pushing me away like this, is it really okay? Even if you reject Miss Elf, I thought you wouldn't reject me, considering we've laid bare to each other before... I've grown a bit since then. Once I recover a few more body parts, I'll definitely be more voluptuous than Miss Elf. I have that confidence."

With her words, Doro's gaze involuntarily fell on Mohe's chest. Compared to the past, could it now be described as "egg-like"?

Indeed, it still wasn't voluptuous, but as she said, she had many parts yet to reclaim. It didn't seem out of the ordinary for there to be further development corresponding to the retrieval of those parts.

But Mohe... Mohe, voluptuous...

It's hard to imagine...

"What kind of look is that! I felt a very strong malice! Mr. Doro! Are you thinking something very inappropriate!"

Mohe genuinely became puffed up with anger.

"No, listen to me explain!"

"Hmm~ You think about it yourself! I'm leaving! Out in this cold weather still stargazing with you, my mind must be broken, don't come to ask me if you have any doubts, I'm going to sleep!"

She seemed genuinely angry.

I guess I still resemble a human? After all, Mohe could easily guess my thoughts, and if she were an ancient existence like her, she probably wouldn't fathom my thoughts, but then again, if I were like her... probably wouldn't have so many troubles.

In general, Doro understood Mohe's meaning.

Mohe told him about Adriana's plot because — regardless of what preparations Adriana made, perhaps fully known by Mohe or perhaps of no interest to her, none of those means could kill Doro, couldn't harm him... to a mortal extent.

So, she was watching for fun. From this point of view, Mohe probably didn't delve into what preparations Adriana had made, after all, the surprise is the most important thing in watching for fun, knowing what means were used doesn't seem as surprising.

She not only wanted to watch herself but also pull Doro along to watch, just as she said, joy is to be shared, watching Adriana attempt and fail to kill him together... She truly has a dark sense of humor, and from this aspect, Doro also realized he wasn't like Mohe, he wouldn't derive pleasure in such a manner... Wait, if the opponent is Adriana, who betrayed him... upon closer consideration, it does seem like a rather fitting form of revenge...

Doro hesitated a little. Could it be that he was really the same kind of person as Mohe?

No, what's most important now is not that, it's Elf's objective.

If Elf knows Adriana's goal, then what is her purpose? To kill him too?

If she doesn't know Adriana's goal, then what is her objective? Attacking the Ice and Snow Kingdom, a war destined to be defeated by the central Human Empire, what significance does it hold for Elf? What does she hope to gain from such a war?

This is something Mohe didn't tell him, something he needs to contemplate himself.

Shouldn't have angered her.

Doro sighed and could only think it over himself slowly.

...

Mohe arrived at Elf's room.

"You're really useless, Miss Elf, when Mr. Doro agreed to go on a date with you, getting him to stay overnight isn't a difficult thing, is it? He always feels guilty towards you. If your attitude was firm enough, he probably wouldn't refuse."

Elf shook her head, "Thank you for your advice, Miss Mohe, you're right, if my attitude was firm enough, he probably wouldn't refuse me, but... after all, let's leave it at that? Miss Mohe, do you really think I have the right to stand by his side now?"

"Why not? From a human's aesthetic perspective, the body of a Snow Elf is perfect, tall stature, a delicate face like a doll, snow-white skin, plump flesh... most importantly, I don't think in terms of feminine charm, you're any less than Lisidorwei, and you should be more competent than Lisidorwei— don't be fooled by Lisidorwei's appearance, she's quite clumsy."

Mohe praised Elf's appearance, "And, setting aside appearances, if you don't do such things, if you don't express your emotions fully, neither you nor Doro, when the final outcome comes, will hold regret in your heart, right? Do you really want that kind of regret? Don't you love him?"

She looked somewhat confused.

"Although you're now human, the result is— you still don't quite understand human emotions~ I used to think you were also enamored with him, but apparently, that's not the case."

"Enamored? Hmm... Previously, someone said I seemed jealous, and I also thought I had human emotions, after all, I am human now, even if I recollect my body, I haven't converted myself back into the Demon Race, just experiencing human feelings, haven't I? I think it's been quite successful."

Elf gently shook her head, "Because if you truly understood human emotions, you should be able to understand my feelings at this moment."

"Oh? Can you tell me?"

"If you think such feelings hold value to you, I suppose, I can tell you."

"Of course~" Mohe came to Elf's side, "Can you tell me what you're thinking now?"

"Having regrets isn't a bad thing, Miss Mohe, if it allows him to forever remember me by leaving a regret, when he's drunk and chatting with others, always mentioning 'I once knew a Snow Elf, with fair skin, beautiful looks, long legs, her physique was amazing!' such topics, I would feel very happy."

"Very happy..."

"It's a very selfish thought. Clearly, not letting the person you like have regrets should be the right approach, but sometimes, you also want him to have regrets about you. Such a contradictory heart is precisely human love."

"You are clearly a Snow Elf, but you speak of human love..." Mohe sighed, still not fully understanding, but she too once had contradictions, perhaps similar to this?

She then said, "Since you say so, I won't interfere too much, just make sure not to blame me when the time comes. After all... you have been dead for a long time."

"Yes."
