"Damn!" Rose slams the floor with her fist. "Ain killed the most demons!"
Eve giggles. "Now, now. Let it go and move on."
"Somehow these potions deepen our friendship," Rose takes the orange potion, "This has nothing to do with Elsword's Dark El, right? I'm done being scolded by Ain!"
"That one would be fine!" Rena smiles.
"Let's go!" Rose opens the potion.
Elesis' eyes widen. "Wait—"
Class Change Potion: Bored with your current job? You can have some change for a day! That sure change your way of thinking. Isn't that awesome?
"Kuhahaha! It's time for chaos!"
"Add! You're unusually happy—which is scary!"
"Whenever Add smiles, a puppy dies."
"Isn't it nice to see everyone happy? Be happy!"
Elesis wakes up because of the unusually-noisy-in-the-morning session. She goes to bathroom and sees herself on the mirror.
"…Who the hell am I?"
After taking a bath, she walks down the stairs and starts wondering why the girls have the room at the upstairs again.
"Alright, people! What's going on here?!" Elesis shouts.
"We're having fun!" Ain smiles. Elesis notices something different from Ain, especially his hair color that turned into silver and his unusually not grumpy face.
"No, we're not!" Elsword shouts with unusually worried face.
"Hey, Els, I can feel magical power inside you," Elesis looks at her brother.
"You have it too, sis," Elsword replies.
"Elesis!" Add grabs Elesis' shoulders, "We need a mascot for my research!"
"Now wear this dress!" Chung shows a frilly dress.
Elesis punches Add and Chung, beating them to almost-see-angel-of-death-coming session. "No way in hell!"
"My, my! What a peaceful morning!" Rose approaches them.
"Rose!" Add gets up as if Elesis never attacked her and grabs her hands. "You should help me with my research as well!"
Rose giggles. "Alright, alright! Now calm down, boy."
"Are we going to do some research together today or what?" Ain asks with a smile.
The girls go downstairs. "Damn. No breakfast?" Aisha crosses her arms.
"It's fine! It's fine!" Rena laughs.
"I introduce to you!" Lu pulls Ciel from the boys' room, "My obedient servant!"
Everyone startles. He's dead inside!
"Let's introduce ourselves first!" Ara suggest, "even though only our appearances changed, but it seems that some people are not themselves…"
"Rune Slayer," Elsword mutters. Eve stares at him. Why is he looked so worried?
"Void Princess," Aisha summons a round bat, "And this is Angkor!"
"Wind Sneaker," Rena smiles.
"Veteran Commander," Raven clenches his Nasod arm, "This is pretty cool."
"Code: Empress," Eve says with her usual monotone voice.
"Iron Paladin," Chung grins.
"Iron Princess suits you more, though," Aisha comments.
"Q-Quiet!" Chung yells.
"Sakra Devanam!" Ara shouts happily.
"Blazing Heart," Elesis summons flame from her hand. Whoa! Cool!
"Lunatic Psyker~" Add smiles, "Now help me with—"
"Patient, Add!" Lu giggles. "Diabla here."
"Demonio," Ciel answers shortly.
"Crimson Rose!" Rose winks. "Really suits me, if I say so myself."
"Erbluhen Emotion," Ain smiles. "Now what should we do?"
"I shall punish everyone who breaks the rule," Ara smiles creepily.
They turn to silence.
"Research!" Add moves his Dynamos and flies quickly to outside.
"W-Wait! Add!" Rose quickly follows him.
The others are following him except…
"What's wrong, lil bro?" Elesis pats Elsword's head as she grins, "What are you thinking?"
"It's just…" Elsword avoids eye contact, "…too quiet."
The four of them look at him confusedly.
"Usually those voices would be saying everything they think, but now it's too quiet," he continues.
"Honestly I don't understand why you're so worried," Rena stares at Elsword, "I mean, isn't that good?"
"It's not," he murmurs.
Ain is just smiling. "I thought the three of you love Elsword."
The girls are blushing instantly. "W-What's your point?" Eve narrows her eyes.
"It's funny that you don't understand simple thing like this," Ain continues as he turns around, "I'm going to join the research. You guys can have fun!"
"Ain, wait!"
Sadly, Ain goes away.
Simple thing? Eve tilts her head as she looks at Elsword.
Elesis' eyes widen. "Ain, are you gay?!"
Some projectile weapons just hit Elesis' forehead. "I dare you to say that again," Ain smiles as killing aura appear around him before he leaves.
Elesis rubs her forehead. "Anyway, we don't have breakfast this morning. Should we go out?" she grabs Elsword's and Eve's hand.
"W-What about meee?!" Rena follows them.
"I only have 2 hands, Rena. Sorry!"
"And of course, we're not going to join their silly research!" Lu laughs, "Ciel! We're going there!"
"Understood."
Raven just sighs and lets them go.
"Today's research is…!" Add shows the title of his research on the big screen from one of his Dynamos without feeling ashamed.
"People's Reaction toward Appealing Person in (Name) Town"
"You don't even know this town's name?" Rose asks in disbelief.
"No. Not yet," Add smirks, "There must be some history of this town, so I'll give it a name later."
"B-But I hate this idea!" Chung shouts as his face turns bright red. He's forced to wear a dress which makes him looks like a beautiful girl in so many ways.
"Hey, you're part of a research," Add pats Chung's head, "Come on! Help me!"
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Rose looks at herself wearing a frilly dress, "Well, I mean, I'm not that girly."
"Don't worry!" Ara smiles. She's wearing a Chinese dress that really suits her. "It suits you!"
"Ha!" Aisha crosses her arms. "Now call me Dark Magician Girl!"
"No other fandom reference, Aisha," Raven hits Aisha's head.
"Raven, don't forget your job!" Add knocks Raven's forehead.
"I remember, man. Observer, right?" Raven slaps Add's hand.
"Hey!"
Ain approaches them. "What's my job?"
"Hm…" Add looks at Ain from the top to bottom. "Do you want to wear idol clothes or something? That would be helpful."
Ain smiles. "Leave it to me!"
Meanwhile, at a restaurant…
Elsword is unusually quiet as he looks out the window all the time.
"This isn't like you at all, bro. Cheer up!" Elesis pats Elsword's back.
Rena nods. "Yeah! What's wrong, Elsword? You can tell us if you want to."
Elsword doesn't give any respond.
Eve snaps her finger in front of Elsword's face. "Elsword!"
He startles. "W-What?"
The girls sigh. He's spacing out again.
"What's wrong?" Rena tilts her head. "Something you can't tell us?"
"Where's your usual happy self, Els?" Elesis asks.
Elsword glares. "Can you just shut up?"
The girls turn to silence. "'You're not yourself', 'You're usually happy', 'Is something bothering you?', stop telling me that stuffs!" he yells. Then, his eyes' widen as he lowers his head, "I-I'm sorry for saying those things," he apologizes.
Eve stares at Elsword. I'm sure something's wrong with him. He's usually cheerful, even though those voices are bugging him.
Her eyes' widen. "Elsword, we need to talk somewhere else."
Elsword and Eve are leaving. Elesis giggles. "Hopefully Eve found something out."
From the outside, Ain is just smiling while some girls are following him. Looks like Eve found out that 'simple thing'.
The two of them are sitting beside the river. "I don't know much about this town, so is this place fine?" Eve asks with a forced smile.
Elsword nods slightly.
Eve grabs Elsword's shoulders and makes eye contact with him. "Elsword, tell me everything about what you feel right now. You can yell, or cry, or whatever."
Elsword slaps Eve's hand. "First of all, I don't remember agreeing that idiot chief about restoring El stone. I just want to find my sister and go home. Why do I have to do the important job while I was still 13? Go f-ck yourself! Do village's soldiers are that dumb? They can't even arrest the stupid Banthus and ask for a kid to help them? Scrubs."
"Secondly, Aisha and Rena suddenly appeared like a boss and decided to make us a team. They appointed me to be the leader for the silliest reason ever. I yell at them, I didn't want to be the leader, but they're just taking it as a joke and didn't listen to me at all. What the hell? I was f-cking serious about it!"
"Then I found that Conwell and decided to use it, but you know what were you guys opinion about it? 'Dark El isn't good!' I admit I'm not that smart, but of course I know Dark El isn't good at all, dumbass! Now that I need to absorb Dark El, I can't even show my negative emotions anymore, or else that Dark El will consume me because Dark El is kind of a d-ck. Do you even know how much I want to kill some of you if you pissed me off? I could kill you 100 times with 100 different ways! It just happened that I decided not to do it. I don't mind being consumed by Dark El if I can f-ck off from this world or whatever when people are so annoying. That would be great."
"Finally I found sis. I was hoping I could just go back home and continue living with sis, but what the hell did she eat when she's gone? She used to love me as a brother, but now it's so different that I want to stay away from her if I could."
Eve can't help but laugh. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh, but… it's just… it's funny for some reason."
Unexpectedly, Elsword also laughs. "I know right? I'm sorry for saying all that."
Eve stops laughing. She lowers her head. "Elsword, I'm sorry."
"About that night when I tried to kill Raven?"
She startles. "Um… yeah…We were wondering how someone like you could get angry at something. We thought it would be funny, but it's not."
Elsword hugs Eve. "I'm sorry! Don't leave me!"
"E-Elsword?"
"I'm scared," he mutters, "I thought you're not going to play with me anymore after that incident."
Eve giggles. "What are you saying? I won't leave you because of potions that we used."
"I don't want to lose someone I love!"
Eve blushes. Her emotion system is not working well right now. "W-Wait! Did you just c-confess or something?!"
"I think?" Elsword breaks the hugs and smiles as his face turns red.
Eve smiles. "I love you too. You were playing with my emotion system lately, you know?"
"Wait! Give me a good reason for suddenly joining this as well!" Rena yells. Elesis and Rena are wearing gothic dress in the middle of the town. They're attracting townspeople attention like the others do.
"Oh, come on! Add never asks for such request, right?" Elesis smiles cheerfully, "Just go along with it!"
"Why are you doing this research anyway?" Rena narrows her eyes.
"I'm making sure no one would dare to take Rose away from me if we're going on a date," Add narrows his eyes back at Rena, "Do you understand?"
Elesis suddenly feels disappointed. "Wait, you just wanted to know townspeople interest?"
"And I have to make sure no one interested in my girlfriend," Add continues, "Glad you understand, Elesis!"
"What?" Rena tilts her head.
"That means Rose can walk around with her usual outfit because I know she doesn't like to wear a dress and no one will ask so many questions to her because she also doesn't like being asked many things," Add crosses his arms, "Get it?"
"Oooh…"
"This is just a stupid idea," Elesis facepalms.
"Hey, it's not!" Add disagrees, "Ain is willing to do anything today. You can ask a few questions that you can't ask in his normal self!"
Rena and Elesis face each other. "For example, maybe you can ask how could he know everything about Elsword? Or you can ask something that he likes! That might be some hints to place you need to go in our free times!"
The two girls' eyes widen. "That's a good idea! Today's our chance, Elesis!" Rena shouts.
"H-Hold it right there!" Elesis shows her palm to Add's face, "How did you know our reasons to get along with Ain?"
"Because I'm a genius?" Add smiles happily, "You can thank me later!"
"Okay?" Rena smiles wryly, "Something's wrong with you too."
"Because it's different when you're not Diabolic Esper," Add hits Rena's head with paper in his hand, "I can easily move on from the past in this state, but when I'm Diabolic Esper, I know I had a chance to change the past and save my mom somehow. Not being able to get that chance after thousands times of trying are really stressful, you know?"
Rena blinks her eyes several times. "Does Rose know about this?"
"Rose knows everything because I told her!" Add smiles again, "Do you think I asked her out for nothing?"
"You're surprisingly…how should I put this… care?" Rena crosses her arms, "I mean, I thought you don't have emotions and things."
"Like Demonio?" Add laughs happily.
Elesis also laughs. "Alright, man! You're cool."
"Yea, sis!" Add gives a thumb-up.
Before midnight…
"I'll miss your happy self, Add!" Rose says as she presses Add's cheeks with her pointy fingers from the back. "What's that research for?"
Add smiles. "Secret."
"You said it, boy!" Rose sits beside Add and moves herself to get her face closer to Add, "You're going to tell me!"
Add narrows his eyes. "No, I'm not!"
Rena and Elesis are just giggling.
"It's somehow really fun if we do something together," Aisha smiles.
"I agree, a bit," Chung sighs. "I will NOT wear those things again."
"Guys?" Elsword looks at them, "I have something to tell you."
"Sure!" Elesis smiles, "What is it?"
"First of all, f-ck you," and Elsword tells what he said to Eve before.
Everyone goes to their room. Well, not everyone.
"Thanks for today, Eve!" Elsword smiles. "You can tell everything to me if you needed help!"
Eve smiles back. "You too. Don't hold your feelings like that again."
Elsword smirks. "Okay. I won't hold it."
Eve tilts her head. "What's with your sudden—"
Elsword kisses Eve lips. "I just did like you said," he blushes.
"B-B-But—" Eve can't say something that she wants to say. Her face turns red. My system is overheating!
"Good night~" Elsword goes to his room.
"Ain, come on! We need an explanation!" Elesis begs.
"Apparently we didn't find out that 'simple thing'," Rena forces herself to laugh.
Ain sighs as he folds his arms. "Elsword isn't able to show his negative emotions. Otherwise that Dark El will take control of his body."
Rena tilts her head while Elesis startles. "Wait, does that mean that was his true self?" Elesis asks.
"You could say that," Ain answers as he turns away.
Rena crosses her arms. "Why do we always get the Ain's mystery session?"
Elesis shrugs. "I don't know. It's always—" Elesis' eyes widen, "Rena?"
Rena looks at Elesis confusedly. "Yeah?"
"We missed the chance," Elesis says.
Rena raises her one eyebrow. "What do you mean? We ask what we need—"
"We didn't ask about the nightmare thing," Elesis cuts Rena's words, "About we're going to forget him."
The two of them turn to silence.
