[For Mei, her current feelings were more like confirmation—her purpose in coming to Elysian Realm was to uncover the truth about [Honkai] and the [Will of Honkai]. "And throughout this process, you were the first to appear before me. You were the one who guided me step by step deeper into this place, and yet even now, I still know nothing about you… it's still you."
Mei had many questions for Elysia. Why was she the 13th Herrscher? Why were there no concrete records of the 13th Herrscher left behind in the Previous Era? And what about the authority of the 13th Herrscher? The truth of being a Herrscher, the relationship between Elysia and the Honkai… so many, many questions…
To this, Elysia chuckled lightly and said: "Of course, you can find the answers to all these questions here, one by one. This is the very reason for [Elysian Realm]'s existence."
"But… talking about this in the square might not be appropriate, don't you think? The atmosphere is just perfect right now, and I wouldn't want a third party to [interrupt] us again."
Mei also nodded: "This place really isn't suitable for [conversation]. And… I'd like to learn more about this [Elysian Realm] too."
Elysia warmly invited Mei to stroll together through this flawless and beautiful paradise: "Let's go. I'll tell you everything about [Elysia], and… everything about the [13th Herrscher]."]
[Qingque]:"Hiss~~ Does this count as a date?"
[Elysia]:"Of course it does~ Isn't a sweet date between beautiful girls just wonderful?"
[Kiana]:"Mei~~"
[Stelle]:"This scene always reminds me of a certain animal, and a certain world-famous painting!"
[March 7th]:"Be human for once! Stop bullying Miss Kiana!"
[Kiana]:"No way!! If Mei wants to go to Elysian Realm, I'm going too! Definitely!"
[Following Elysia, the flawless paradise of Elysian Realm unfolded before Mei's eyes—the dazzlingly exquisite scenery belonged to a previous era, yet didn't quite belong to reality either.
One couldn't help but marvel that this world truly lived up to being Elysia's dream paradise! Just like on a date, Mei and Elysia admired the surrounding scenery while reminiscing about their first meeting. Of course, some monsters would occasionally spawn along the way, but these little things posed no obstacle to Mei and Elysia.
As they chatted, the conversation turned to Kevin, and then Kevin actually appeared before them. Mei naturally noticed Kevin's presence. In this pink-purple space, Kevin's existence is unexpected.
At first, Mei thought Kevin was also part of Elysia's memories, followed by that familiar silence. Then Mei realized—this familiar riddler was indeed the Kevin from [Elysian Realm]. After all, not just anyone could imitate this kind of riddler ability. Kevin seemed to have something he wanted to discuss with Elysia but completely didn't want Mei to know.
Not wanting to impose, Mei obediently bid farewell to Elysia and wandered around this place alone. Seeing Kevin appear, Mei naturally understood that other Flame-Chasers might also appear here. She decided to explore and see if she could encounter other Flame-Chasers by chance. Mei arrived at the aerial garden and immediately saw Hua standing there in a daze, not even noticing Mei's arrival. Mei asked: "Hua, are you… spacing out here? That's quite rare for you."
Hua snapped back to reality: "Ah… sorry. I was indeed spacing out. I didn't expect such an area to be hidden deep within Elysian Realm."
Seeing Hua had regained her focus, Mei inquired: "Elysia said this is her memory space."
Hua suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. It really does have Elysia's style."
"She also said that all her memories are stored here, including… the part about the [13th Herrscher]."
"The 13th Herrscher!? That is…"
Noticing Hua seemed to know something, Mei pressed further. Hua said: "Sorry, that's not something I should be telling you."
"Or rather, because I also know very little about the truth, partial information might mislead you."]
[Herrscher of Sentience]:"Tch, this fossil really doesn't know anything."
[Stelle]:"Although Hua really wants to tell you the truth, Hua genuinely doesn't know anything."
[Kiana]:"Could it be that Class Monitor is the only one in the entire Elysian Realm who doesn't know about this place?"
[Hua]:"......"
[Silver Wolf]:"But why are there still riddlers everywhere in Elysian Realm? I'm looking at you, Kevin!!"
[Theresa]:"The only reason Mei recognized Kevin was because of that familiar silence of his."
[Dreamweaver]:"Elysian Realm, such dreamlike architecture. I really hope we can create another one in Penacony."
[Elysia]:"That's possible~ Elysia authorizes you to do so♪"
[Following the information provided by Hua, Mei encountered Kosma who was also enjoying the scenery here, and then— "..."
Mei couldn't hold back anymore: "Although this happens often, I still want to remind you, Kosma."
"Generally speaking, communication happens through language, not expressions."
"I was just…" "Forget it."
Mei continued staring at him until Kosma finally spoke: "Just some insignificant sighs, that's all."
"Elysia… in the end, I still couldn't keep up with her thoughts."
Already familiar with Kosma's personality, Mei asked directly: "Because she's a Herrscher?"
"Who told you that!?"
Mei told him the truth, and then Kosma clearly didn't want to discuss this matter any further.
Mei directly bid farewell and prepared to leave. "Wait a moment!"
"What is it?"
Mei asked curiously. "You've also been… by Elysia…"
Mei saw him glance at her, then slowly look upward, finally stopping at a just right angle. There was nothing there, except… "..."
Mei looked at Kosma's horns: "...You too?"
Kosma comforted her: "It's unavoidable. Don't mind it too much—everyone has been through it."]
[Herrscher of Sentience]:"This matter? Normal, normal! If anything, this is exactly like Elysia's personality."
[Qingque]:"Actually, I'm more curious about 'everyone' so…"
[Stelle]:"Pardo's tail, Sakura's fox ears and whatnot—if not horns, aren't there other special features?"
[Silver Wolf]:"On that day, all Flame-Chasers remembered the humiliation of being dominated by Elysia and having their tails, ears, and horns thoroughly touched!"
[Hi3·Seele]:"You just let her touch you like that? Didn't anyone think about angrily rubbing her elf ears in return?"
[Elysia]:"Would you like to touch them? Though it's a bit embarrassing, it's okay♪"
[March 7th]:"Wait, Kevin is covered in cold energy—what would Elysia even touch?"
[Herrscher of Sentience]:"About that—I remember Kevin has a Diabolical form with not just horns but wings too."
