"Alright, it's time to wake up ♪~" Elysia whispered into Miss Purple Fairy's ear.
Miss Purple Fairy came to her senses and quickly stood up from Elysia's embrace.
"Oh dear, is Miss Purple Fairy starting to dislike Elysia's embrace ♪~" Elysia said, feigning sadness.
"No way!" Miss Purple Fairy retorted in a low voice.
"Then why did you run away ♪~" Elysia said, narrowing her eyes.
Miss Purple Fairy hesitated for a moment, but then saw the playful glint in Elysia's eyes.
She sat directly beside Elysia and pulled Elysia into her arms.
"Eh!" Elysia exclaimed in surprise.
"That's for bullying me, that's for bullying me," Miss Purple Fairy muttered softly, reaching out and pinching Elysia's ear.
This was another difference between the two, besides their hair and eye color.
The Pink Elf was indeed an elf, with pointed ears.
However, Miss Purple Fairy still had human ears.
The moment her ear was pinched, a deep blush immediately spread across the Pink Elf's face.
"Let… let go," Elysia said softly.
"Weren't you enjoying bullying me just now?" Miss Purple Fairy looked at Elysia triumphantly.
"Alright, I won't bully you again, quickly let go, let go, my ears are very sensitive," Elysia didn't dare to struggle with big movements, as her ear was in someone else's hand.
"That's for the best, hmph." Hearing Elysia's plea, Miss Purple Fairy released her hand.
As soon as she let go, Elysia immediately turned and pushed Miss Purple Fairy onto the sofa.
Watching the two playing, Eden just smiled and shook her head.
After all, they were just playing around and knew their limits.
Seeing them getting more and more boisterous, Eden clapped her hands to get their attention.
"Alright, stop messing around, after all, there's still serious business to discuss, isn't there?" Eden said as both of them looked at her.
Eden looked at Miss Purple Fairy.
"This Miss Elysia, you are the Herrscher of Corruption, so the trials of the Paradise of the Past might not be effective for you," Eden said with a smile.
"Um… I'm sorry," Miss Purple Fairy didn't know what to say at this moment, but apologizing was the right thing to do, after all, she hadn't expected to undergo trials upon entering the Elysian Realm.
Eden shook her head, "We are the ones who should apologize. We truly didn't expect a Herrscher to enter the Elysian Realm, especially an Herrscher of Corruption."
"So, I found some of the other MOTHs and asked them for this." Eden pointed to the crystal flower on the side.
"This was originally given to us by Elysia, and now we are entrusting it to you. We hope you can carry Elysia's will and continue forward."
"Eden~ I'm still here! Why does it sound like I'm about to disappear?" Elysia pouted unhappily.
"Elysia," Eden walked over and reached out to stroke Elysia's head.
"We are merely the past, but she is different; she is the present, isn't she?" Eden sat beside Elysia.
"We only hope that our failures can help her overcome this Honkai eruption."
"As long as our past experiences are useful, it proves that our efforts back then weren't in vain, doesn't it?"
"Alright, alright, I know, Eden, my dear Eden. Please don't keep lecturing me with such grand reason; I'm not a child who doesn't understand anything anymore," Elysia shook her head unhappily.
"Isn't this crystal flower very important? Is it really alright to give it to me like this?" Miss Purple Fairy asked.
"Oh, Eden already said it's for you, so the others must have agreed! Why are you still being so hesitant? That's not like me at all ♪~"
Elysia directly picked up the crystal flower and placed it in Miss Purple Fairy's hand.
The moment the crystal flower touched Miss Purple Fairy, it immediately transformed into countless specks of light and melted into her body.
"These crystal flowers contain a portion of the highest authority of the Paradise of the Past," Eden said, watching Miss Purple Fairy search for the crystal flower.
"Now they have merged into your body, so it will be much easier for you to enter the Elysian Realm in the future," Eden said with a smile.
"Is it really okay to give it to me like this? After all, you are living here now. Aren't you afraid I'll… destroy this place?"
"But you wouldn't do that, would you ♪~" Elysia said, holding one of Miss Purple Fairy's hands.
Miss Purple Fairy turned her head away; she realized now that she couldn't handle Elysia!
"Alright, Elysia, if you keep playing, Miss Purple Fairy will run away," Eden sighed.
Elysia looked like a cat who had found a new toy.
"Mhm mhm, I believe she won't run away, right, Miss Purple Fairy ♪~" o(=•ω＜=)ρ⌒☆
Miss Purple Fairy didn't look at Elysia, turning her head to Eden instead.
"Eden, I want to know, why do you trust me so much…" Miss Purple Fairy said.
"Because you are Elysia," Eden said.
"You will surely face many difficulties in the future. This place can serve as your temporary resting place."
"Although this place cannot help you train your authority, it can help you train your techniques."
"And you are also desperately in need of power, aren't you? To stop Kevin's Stigmata Project," Eden said with a smile.
"You already knew," Miss Purple Fairy said, lowering her head.
"Of course. Don't forget, the people here are the last thirteen MOTHs of the previous era. If we couldn't even deduce these things, we wouldn't have made it this far."
As Eden spoke, she took out a wine glass, poured red wine, and slowly took a sip.
Although she was tired of this red wine, habit still made her slowly savor it.
Miss Purple Fairy was speechless.
Yes, standing before her now were two of the thirteen MOTHs.
Her mindset hadn't fully changed yet.
She was merely enjoying life, simply wanting to see Elysia and then enter the Paradise of the Past.
She honestly asked herself, she couldn't be selfless.
"Don't dwell on things that trouble you. You just need to do what you want to do," Eden said.
"Mhm… I understand." Miss Purple Fairy no longer dwelled on it.
"Yes, that's it, be more resolute. After all, you are Elysia's successor," Eden said with a smile.
Miss Purple Fairy looked at Elysia. She couldn't be as selfless as Elysia, so she would be an Elysia with selfish desires.
"Alright, you said you only came here to see Elysia, so you must have other things to do in reality, right?"
"So you don't have that much time, do you? If you have free time later, come back to the Elysian Realm again," Eden said with a smile.
Hearing Eden say this,
Miss Purple Fairy suddenly remembered that there were two other people outside, Theresa and Himeko!
"Eden! Is the time in the Elysian Realm the same as the time outside?" Miss Purple Fairy quickly asked.
"Unless there's an anomaly, the time is the same."
"Oh no, oh no, Theresa isn't going to tear down Heliopos Life Science, is she?" Miss Purple Fairy instantly became anxious.
"Eden, how do I get out of here? I have an emergency!" Miss Purple Fairy asked anxiously.
Seeing Miss Purple Fairy like this, Eden really wanted to rub her forehead.
Had she forgotten her own identity?
She was the Herrscher of Corruption, after all.
"Over there, through that large door, you can return to reality," Eden said, pointing in a direction with a slight headache.
"Elysia, I'll come find you again when I have time next. I'm sorry, I really have an emergency right now." After saying that, Miss Purple Fairy quickly left the place.
Watching Miss Purple Fairy run off anxiously,
"She's just like you, Elysia, just as reckless," Eden said to Elysia.
"No way! Elysia wouldn't act so carelessly, without thinking about anything," Elysia retorted.
"Yes, yes, Elysia, all your actions are planned," Eden said dotingly.
