The players' conversations sometimes spiraled so wildly out of control that even Elysia felt she couldn't follow their logic.
So...
If she couldn't follow, then she just wouldn't.
Elysia had a "not-so-special" skill: strategic surrender.
The story continued.
The screen shifted to the other Flame-Chasers.
First up was Kevin.
Among a group of cheerful laughter, one person seemed completely out of place.
Not just because of his conspicuous white hair, but also because of his expression—it wasn't exactly silence, remembrance… or mourning.
"It's rare to see that kind of look on your face."
Hearing the voice, Kevin turned toward the speaker. "Su."
As close friends since their student days, the two had always shared a deep bond. They naturally spoke without reservation.
Anyone who had seen Inheritance knew this well.
The bond between Su and Kevin—like Durandal and Rita... hmm, something feels off?
Anyway, just a metaphor.
In short, Kevin and Su had an earnest discussion about the [Elysian Realm] and [Elysia].
Kevin expressed that the memory version of himself was different from the real one, and could accomplish the things "they" never could.
Su, on his part, said he would absolutely support Kevin.
Absolutely. Such reliable words.
In the end, Kevin took out a blue crystal flower.
"Elysia... back then, you, us... was there really no other choice?"
"If I had realized your true intentions earlier... would our ending have been different?"
Next came Aponia.
She discovered Griseo's paints along the maze walls.
And began following the trail to find her.
Though on the way, while controlling Aponia, Elysia still made sure to open a few treasure chests.
Hearing the treasure chest unlock, and all of Pardofelis' excited lines—she couldn't help but giggle.
This was something MiHoYo had always done well.
That sense of company.
Still, she didn't delay too long.
Soon, Aponia found Griseo.
She saw Griseo trying to copy a mural.
Next to the mural was a short song...
"One day, It fell from the sky."
"The people on the ground looked up—and thus saw the starry sky."
Griseo said the song sounded very sad.
Of course, the players didn't yet understand what was sad about it.
Instead, they were intrigued by Kosma suddenly showing up to stop Aponia and Griseo from continuing their conversation.
"Enough, Aponia."
"Kosma?"
"[Stop here]... that is what you should do now."
[Aponia: Are you teaching me what to do?]
[Is Kosma hiding something from Aponia that he doesn't want Griseo to know?]
[The Flame-Chasers all have their own secrets, huh.]
Players speculated wildly about Kosma's actions.
Once that segment ended—
The screen returned to Elysia and Mei.
"But to think Mei saw such an immature memory... I'm blushing."
Elysia feigned shyness, covering her face.
Mei stood with arms crossed, watching her. "Really? I thought you were enjoying it."
At that, Elysia leaned closer, flashing a fairy-like sweet smile. "My, such bold words... but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy."
"After all, you said you wanted to know everything about me. That you wanted our relationship to go even deeper. Of course I welcome that."
As Elysia spoke—
The camera thoughtfully shifted to Mei's first-person view.
Seeing such a sweet, pink Miss Elf—
Players couldn't help themselves: "How could a girl like Elysia be this cute, this good at it? It's impossible to resist."

Mei was clearly shaken: "I don't recall saying that…"
"Aww, that's the only flaw in someone as perfect as Mei."
Elysia took half a step back. "If you could be as honest as I am, you'd definitely be even more popular."
Mei: "..."
"Alright, let's shift the topic back to [Elysia]?"
Elysia didn't tease her further.
The two continued using the typewriter to read more about [Elysia].
But just as Mei intended to dig deeper, the typewriter suddenly stopped working.
Fortunately—
Our "reliable" fairy Elysia had extensive experience dealing with such issues.
After consulting the repair manual briefly, she used her staff to deliver a devastating physical attack to the typewriter.
Success! The typewriter completely crashed!
It was like when people used to slap their old TVs.
Just hit it hard. Whether it works—leave that to fate.
["Used a magic staff to deal physical damage"]
[LOL! Secret Technique: 45-Degree Slam Repair Method!]
[I'm curious though, why is Fairy Elysia using a staff?]
That might have to wait until the Herrscher of Sentience storyline to answer.
[Fairy Elysia and Elysia are both too entertaining. Sharing a room with two Elysias—could there be anything more blissful?]
[Wish I could lock the archive room door and never leave again.]
But clearly, this time fate didn't smile on Fairy Elysia.
Still, she wouldn't admit defeat.
She claimed the typewriter wasn't broken, just out of paper.
"I didn't break it! It's… it's… right, there's no paper! How can it print files without paper, right?"
That might've just been her stubborn defense.
But this was Elysia's livestream.
When viewers saw the words "out of paper," they immediately got more excited.
["I'm out of paper"]
[Is the official stream playing with memes again?]
["One Thousand Elysia Memes and Counting"]
Elysia stared at the chat reaction, stunned by how far they could take the joke.
There's no escaping this meme now, huh?
Ah, the Chocolate Door incident... a black mark on her streaming history... or maybe not. That emotional moment she'll never forget. Still, what a coincidence.
Hmph, if only "Otto"-san had prepared a few more packs of paper back then.
She cycled through a few thoughts, then quickly tapped the screen to move the story forward.
Mei knew Fairy Elysia was bluffing.
But instead of confronting her, she played along and left the room to look for some [unused] paper.
Giving Fairy Elysia time to "secretly" fix the typewriter.
However—
Soon after Mei and Elysia left—
Elysia casually came up with an excuse.
"Where can I even find white paper? I feel like I'm not being very efficient, Mei. How about we split up?"
And then—looking slightly eager—ran back to the archive to help Fairy Elysia with repairs.
Meanwhile, Mei wandered into the garden and ran into Griseo and the others.
Aponia and Kosma were practically fighting over custody of Griseo.
Hmm, or rather, it wasn't like they were—it was that.
Normally, outsiders shouldn't get involved. It rarely ends well.
But considering Griseo's personality—
To prevent her from being affected by the argument, Mei still chose to butt in.
How to put it, players felt like it was a classic case of parents arguing while the "neighbor auntie" (Mei) came in to mediate.
And we all know what happens to the person who tries to mediate.
Naturally, Kosma and Aponia—who had just been arguing—turned to jointly "gang up" on Mei.
Mei's intervention had the opposite effect, making things even tenser.
Just as things were getting out of hand—
Elysia's voice rang out: "Mei, Mei, the typewriter's fixed! I brought it over——"
She sensed the tension in the air. "Ah, did we come at a bad time?"
Fairy Elysia replied, "What are you talking about? We, radiant and beloved fairies, only ever arrive at the perfect time, obviously~"
Hearing her voice, the heavy atmosphere instantly vanished.
Not just Mei—even the players breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Elysia was there, everything would be fine.
That was what everyone believed in their hearts at that moment.
That was the peace of mind Miss Elf could bring.
Without Elysia, the Elysian Realm would be like the West without Jerusalem.
