Chapter 913

Yayi: "..."

She stared quietly at Fairy Ellie, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

"Fairy Ellie!"

"What's wrong? Staring at me so intently... have you been captivated by me again?"

Yayi: "..."

After a brief silence, Yayi shook her head with a light laugh: "No, it's nothing."

Fairy Ellie: "Mm, let's continue forward. There's still a long way to go before the end."

From this conversation, one could actually tell that Yayi had discovered something.

But unfortunately, Yayi was speaking in riddles again, so the players felt a bit baffled.

Subsequently, Fairy Ellie continued to lead the way for Yayi, and soon they found the next memory.

The young girl stepped onto a journey without an end. In the time that followed, she constantly walked through cities, mountains, villages, and wilderness...

She encountered many things and met many people.

She once met Miss Miss Paduo for the first time by a defunct station and was tricked out of an apple...

The thin young girl (Miss Miss Paduo): "... Why do you keep following me?"

Elysia: "Eh? But you said just now that if I gave you that apple to eat, you'd give me an orange..."

The thin young girl: "I lied to you. I don't have any oranges at all. You fell for it."

"Hey~ just take it as a lesson... people here can only survive by doing this."

Elysia: "Oh..."

It sounded like Elysia had accepted this lesson, and she gave a thoughtful "Oh."

But suddenly, she took two candies out from her bosom.

"Then I still have two candies, I'll give them to you too! Come, one for each of us!"

The thin young girl: "You..."

Elysia's innocence and kindness dealt a critical blow to Miss Miss Paduo's conscience.

"... Thank you."

She once listened to choir-like, melodious singing in the ruins of a church.

She was also once stunned by the heavenly sounds on stage in a magnificent theater.

She once walked through a lush campus, peering at children of similar age through the wall.

She also once sobbed together with the city under the night sky in an alley dampened by rain.

She once saw Kalpas tied to a pillar being bled, and also saw young Hua in Shenzhou.

Because of that pink hair, she was even mistaken for the MOTH assassin 【Sakura】.

... Among these memories, without exception, they were all memories related to the Flame-Chasers.

Should one call it the wonder of fate, or... are the memories related to these Flame-Chasers all treasures that Elysia specially cherished?

The players could not know.

But they could be certain that Elysia's true experiences could never be summarized in a few words.

The young girl's footprints covered the world.

The repeated brushes with others gradually sculpted her soul into shape.

She had received kindness from strangers, being warmed, moved, and encouraged by them.

She had also suffered groundless malice, being deceived, used, and betrayed by them.

Just like day and night, the good and evil of the world divided her journey into two: one side was light, the other was shadow.

At this time, she still could not understand why such contradictory things could coexist in the human heart.

But she believed that the kind of shimmering lamp light she saw must truly exist.

She returned to that hillside again, once more gazing at the brightly lit city in the distance.

"So... the Earth is round~"

"The world has no end at all."

"Just like the books said, paradise really doesn't exist..."

"Since that's the case..."

"If paradise doesn't exist, then I'll create one myself~"

"It must be a very, very beautiful paradise~"

"In the end, she returned to where she started."

"Traveling the world, as a Herrscher, she was truly bold to do that~"

After seeing these memories, even Fairy Ellie could not help but sigh.

"So, she really didn't know her own 【identity】? Even Fairy Ellie from the Kingdom of Fairy Music was a bit shocked~"

"Perhaps... she was also looking for the answer to this question..." Yayi let out a deep breath.

While watching these memories, she seemed to be able to feel the 【loneliness】 hidden beneath Elysia's innocent and cute exterior...

"The long journey was just to find an existence similar to herself, or a place that could answer her doubts, or perhaps... a 【companion】 who could walk the path with her."

These memories were Elysia as seen through her own eyes.

Perhaps feeling that such an understanding was not comprehensive enough, Fairy Ellie took Yayi to find other Flame-Chasers' views on Elysia.

This time, Yayi recalled Elysia once more from the perspective of the Flame-Chasers.

And these memories were scenes of Elysia talking and interacting with the Flame-Chasers as colleagues after joining the MOTH.

Elysia in everyone's eyes was different, yet it seemed there was no difference.

In these memories, she was always smiling, like a happy fairy, never having a moment of sadness.

Just looking at her like this would make people feel happy and comforted.

Even her way of interacting without boundaries still made it impossible for people to dislike her.

Even the sharp-tongued Mobius's inner view of Elysia leaned towards "liking."

"What a lively memory..."

After finishing these memories that could be considered beautiful, Yayi's mood also became much more pleasant.

Although Elysia always claimed she had never changed, with such a long span of time connected together, Yayi could still see the process of her slowly moving from naivety to maturity.

Mm... that flirtatious way of speaking was also becoming more and more proficient.

A person's entire life is so fragmented, complex, yet long.

But a person's essence will not change.

Elysia's feelings for everyone were not fake either.

"So, even if no one knew she was a Herrscher, even if in that rational era, a Herrscher was destined to become humanity's enemy... but she must be 【special】, right?"

"So, her 【ending】 must also be happy and warm... right?"

When saying this, Fairy Ellie's eyes seemed to flicker with anticipation.

Yayi: "..."

Was that kind of ending... considered warm?

She did not know how to evaluate it, so she could only skip the topic and ignore this answer.

"... Speaking of which."

"In those memories just now, it seems one most important person was missing—"

"Eden."

"I think... in the memories she left behind, we might be able to find the answer to this question."
