Chapter 914
"So... is this your childhood, Ellie?"
"However, Ellie, did you really not add too much embellishment to it? Compared to a memoir, this is more like a fairy tale."
Elysia: "Haha, Elysia's story, of course it has to be a fairy tale~"
In Sister Yidian's memory, under a starry sky that shone as beautifully as a dream, Elysia told her about her childhood.
Just as she said—Elysia's childhood was like a fairy tale.
However, beneath the gentle smile of this fairy tale's protagonist, regret and sadness were hidden.
Sister Yidian: "..."
Even if Elysia hid it well, how could Sister Yidian, as her confidante and best friend, not notice?
"Ellie, are you... going to say goodbye to us?"
Sister Yidian's elegant and mature voice also carried a deep reluctance.
"... Really, nothing can be hidden from you, Sister Yidian."
Elysia was still smiling as usual.
But, even for someone who loved to smile like her, she looked quite like she was forcing a smile at this moment.
"I think, it should be."
"Mei, she wasn't wrong... at least, she wasn't wrong about the most important point."
"Perhaps..."
"I..." Elysia seemed afraid to say the words that followed.
Her breathing was a bit rapid, and it sounded like she was about to cry.
"Hoo..." She let out a deep breath.
"Perhaps, I really am a... 【Herrscher】..."
"..."
After a while, Elysia finally regained her composure.
"I... I knew this day would come sooner or later..."
While carefully observing Sister Yidian's expression, she feigned calmness and said:
"So it's okay, I've long thought about what to do afterwards."
Sister Yidian: "..."
"Is that so."
She just smiled, and other than that, she didn't say anything else.
She was not shocked because Elysia was a 【Herrscher】, nor did she suddenly distance herself.
It was as if... she had just heard a very ordinary piece of gossip and let it pass with a smile.
The two were speechless for a moment.
After a long while, Elysia spoke up with trepidation:
"Sister Yidian... I'm sorry."
Almost in an instant, Sister Yidian turned her head, smiling lightly as she looked at Elysia.
"It's okay, Ellie."
She did not give Elysia a chance to say the rest.
"I understand how deeply you love this world, and how deeply you love the people in your heart."
"Precisely because of this, I can understand what difficult choices you went through before making this decision..."
"And under what helpless circumstances you had to choose this path."
"So, I will definitely accompany you to the end."
"As for the 【truth】... that is not important to me, just leave it to be revealed when you wish."
"No matter what you have hidden, I believe... you are still my dear friend Elysia, still the person who cherishes and guards the beauty of the world."
"That is enough, isn't it?"
If the previous memory could be considered "cheerful."
Then this conversation with Sister Yidian pushed the game's atmosphere towards an emo direction again.
It was the first time the players saw Elysia looking so uneasy and afraid.
At the moment she confirmed she was a Herrscher, how sad must Elysia have been...
She had clearly created so many beautiful memories and deep friendships with so many people.
But in the end, her identity was actually humanity's enemy—a Herrscher.
When she made that decision, deciding to play the villain to unite all surviving humans, how much determination must she have had...
And likewise.
Upon discovering that the Flame-Chasers refused to crusade against her because they believed in Ellie; and also attended the banquet because they believed in Ellie...
The players felt happy for Elysia in their hearts again.
They were moved by the mutual trust of the Flame-Chasers.
At this moment, the players had completely forgotten that this was a story.
When they thought about any point, they were treating Elysia and the others as real 【people】.
On the bullet comments, there were no more comments like 【Damn Mihuyou】 or 【The plot is written so well】.
It could only be said that the characterization of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers was truly too successful.
Even if the Flame-Chasers died, even if the Elysian Realm plot ended, their images lived forever in the players' hearts.
And the large donation special effects in the live stream room also saw explosive growth at this time.
Such a situation was not uncommon in the Mihuyou live stream room.
It was just that the names making the large donations were all quite familiar.
There were official accounts of certain game companies.
There were idols of certain fandoms, or certain goddess celebrities.
There were also internet celebrities with tens of millions of fans, or certain big spenders in the live streaming circle.
However, these familiar account donation screens could not distract from the content of the bullet comments at all.
The surging, scrolling bullet comments were basically—
【I will always love Elysia】 【Sister Yidian Sister Yidian...】 【Wuwuwu...】 【Fairy Ellie is so cute】...
These kinds of bullet comments related to Honkai Impact 3rd.
Perhaps those people wanted to show their faces in this live stream room with tens of millions of viewers.
Or perhaps they were simply moved by the story, and thus donated a gift to vent their complex emotions.
But no matter what.
These female celebrities, idols, internet celebrities, and big spenders were just ordinary passersby in front of the live stream audience at this moment.
At this time, Miss Yayi and Fairy Ellie in the game had finally finished watching Sister Yidian's memories.
"In the end, she finally knew the answer... right?"
"But... what a sad answer..."
When saying this, Fairy Ellie's figure suddenly flickered, and immediately after, her form seemed to become a bit blurry.
Miss Yayi: "!!"
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Fairy Ellie... you..."
"Oh my... I've been discovered, it seems I've become a bit transparent?"
While speaking, Fairy Ellie also lowered her head to look at her own body.
Turning around, she smiled indifferently again: "Think about it, the me here was originally a carrier of memory, condensed from 【the Flame-Chasers' longing for Elysia】."
"And now, this longing is transforming into your feelings."
"So, don't worry too much! I won't disappear, because... I will become 【me】~"
