Chapter 213: Raven's Wonderful Adventure
[After some time had passed, Mei returned to the familiar Elysian Realm. As soon as she entered the hall, Raven greeted her with a smiling face. However, this time Mei was going to leave the Elysian Realm.
After getting some information from Raven, she decisively chose to go help Kiana and the others. Raven remained in her slacking state - she was currently listed as missing in World Serpent's records and had become addicted to slacking off, completely unwilling to go out and work overtime again. After Mei left the Realm, Raven actually felt somewhat lonely in this magnificent golden hall. Since there was nothing to do now, the lonely old crow decided to wander around the Realm and properly reminisce about her past. "Huh? Why can't the anchor point be used? What does this mean - did the Elysian Realm close just because she left?"
"Let's go ask Klein, she should be in the information room."
When she arrived at the information room, as expected, the vacation-less Klein was busy performing some necessary inspections and maintenance on the Realm.
Through her conversation with Klein, Mei believed this situation was likely caused by another new Flame-Chaser setting their sights on Mei, hence this abnormal phenomenon occurred. Raven knew this information was something Mei needed, but since Mei wasn't here now, Raven decided to first help investigate this information for Mei, to owe her a favor.]
[Kiana]:"Mei was still thinking about me! Did Mei come out to help us!?"
[Stelle]:"Even after Mei left the Realm, Raven still thinks about Mei. She really... I'm crying!"
[Qingque]:"She clearly came to the Realm just to slack off and take it easy, who would have thought! Who would have thought!"
[Honkai Rail·Welt]:"This timeline... if I remember correctly, this should be when Otto died!!"
[Honkai Rail·Void Archives]:"You remember correctly, my old friend. This is the day worth opening champagne for."
[Shush]:"It's been a long time, my master."
[Tesla]: *"Hahahaha ****** Otto, he finally ******"*
[Otto]:"Yes, this pitiful villain who remained in the world for five hundred years has finally received his deserved end."
In the Schicksal's office, Otto played with a golden cube in his hand. Facing news of his own death, the corners of his mouth that nearly flew up to shoulder level with the sun simply couldn't calm down.
[A free workhorse shouldn't be wasted since it's offered. Since Raven requested to investigate the newly appeared abnormal phenomenon, how could Klein possibly refuse?
"This looks exactly the same as before, no different at all..."
"Hi—hello there♪"
A pink fat... fairy lady quietly appeared before Raven, happily greeting her. "You are...
The corners of Elysia's mouth lifted slightly, appearing quite pleased: "My, this should be our first meeting, but it seems... you already know me quite well? Let me guess, did you secretly ask Mei about many things concerning me?"
"Mhm mhm, I understand. After all, I've been watching you too, Natasha♪"
Raven didn't have much reaction to Elysia's words: "...What an honor. I thought you weren't interested in me."
"After all, during the trials, I only met those four... no, those five Flame-Chasers."
Elysia covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh, do you care about that little matter so much? That was just a tiny, just a tiny, really only a tiny little misunderstanding..."
"...About the hat misunderstanding, right?"
Elysia nodded: "See? Once the misunderstanding was cleared up, didn't I immediately appear before you? I'm trying hard to make up for my little mistake too."
Under 'coercion', Raven 'voluntarily' forgave Elysia, and Elysia also gave her own stigma to Raven.]
[Guinaifen]:"This... is Elysia considered appearance-focused?"
[Fu Xuan]:"Choosing not to meet her because Raven always wore a hood without showing her face or something..."
[Stelle]:"Looking at it this way... Elysia immediately clung to Mei when she first entered the Realm... Elysia, you really were lusting after Mei's body!!"
[Elysia]:"What are you saying? Mei and I are intimately close good friends. But isn't it natural for beautiful girls to like pretty things?"
[Silver Wolf]:"...That kind of makes sense?"
[Next, Raven followed instructions and came to Pardofelis's little shop, but here, this battle-hardened mercenary Raven got robbed by a strange cat! This strange cat looked chubby but moved with remarkable agility, seemingly wanting to lead Raven somewhere.
After passing through several portals, Raven arrived before a red door. Looking at this strange door, Raven understood she had found the right place. Without another word, Raven walked through the door.]
[Silver Wolf]:"Another one coming straight to face the boss. Didn't they see how the last one, Mei, got humiliated before Mobius?"
[March 7th]:"You can keep cats in the Elysian Realm too?"
[Stelle]:"Cyber pets, digital cat raising, kid!!"
[Elysia]:"It's Can! See, isn't Can adorable?"
[Pardofelis]:"This should be me having Can help watch the goods, right? But judging by the stigma, has Raven come to big sister Aponia's territory?"
[Kalpas]:"Hmph, that damned woman!!"
[Stelle]:"Uncle Yang, what abilities does this Flame-Chaser have?"
[HSR·Welt]:"I don't know. Among the Flame-Chasers, I'm only familiar with Fu Hua and Kevin. The others... I only glanced roughly at their information."
[Raven arrived behind the door where the scene was completely dark, making Raven exclaim who turned off the lights. Raven continued walking into the darkness as an ethereal voice came: "You have finally come here after all... stranger."
At this moment, Raven clutched her head but still didn't give up, continuing forward into the darkness. "Is it you... who brought change to this Realm?"
"The voice... went directly into my mind..."
Raven continued forward, but her consciousness grew increasingly blurry until she finally collapsed unconscious.
The mysterious voice spoke regretfully: "You don't seem to be the person I've been waiting for."
"But I can touch... the threads of fate that entwine her with you..."
"Perhaps at this moment... it's still too early, But one day; You will lead her beneath this [sanctuary]
You will bring her... Before me."]
[Silver Wolf]:"Seeing threads of fate? Could it be an ability similar to Elio's?"
[Dan Heng]:"She also demonstrated abilities in the consciousness domain. Perhaps she's closer to Kafka."
[Stelle]:"It's over. Even though this environment looks like someone who didn't pay their electricity bill, abilities combining Kafka and Elio aren't easy to deal with. Mei has been targeted again."
[Raven]:"So I just got caught in the crossfire?"
[Jackal]:"How tragic."
