Elysia, Are You Proposing to Each Other?

Elysia cherished everything in the town, and she absolutely did not want to bring disaster to this place.

And...

"I need to know what I really am."

Elysia said to herself with a determined look in her eyes.

She wanted to understand herself.

Where did I come from? What is my power? What is my mission?

As well as...

If I am not truly human, how can I transform myself into one?

She wanted to become a human being, to become someone like Bai Ge.

"Besides, I've actually wanted to go out and see the world for a long time, but because everyone and Bai Ge are in this town, I haven't been able to make up my mind to leave."

Elysia opened the drawer of her desk, inside which was a storybook called "Eternal Paradise".

This was a birthday gift from Bai Ge to her in the first year. Elysia has always cherished and kept it, and has read it hundreds of times.

"They cheered, embraced each other, and sang for the fulfillment of their dream—they had finally arrived at paradise..."

She no longer needed to look at the page number; she simply turned to the page by feeling. Then, her finger traced across it, and with her eyes closed, she recited a passage from the book.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was exactly the same as the fingertip that had brushed across my skin.

Her face showed longing and anticipation.

"I also want to find my own paradise. It must be somewhere in this world. Even if it doesn't exist, it doesn't matter... I'll create a paradise myself and name it after Bai Ge and me!"

Elysia made up her mind.

Thinking this, she walked out of the room.

This is the third update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.

Tomorrow's storyline features their shared trip, where they'll encounter Flame-Chasers as a child!

"That's it, Mother Celia. I'm planning to embark on a journey. I may not be able to explain it very clearly, but... it's something I have to do, it's my mission in this world, so I want your permission no matter what."

Bai Ge stared earnestly at the kind woman in front of him.

The director of the orphanage, everyone's mother Celia.

This is someone Bai Ge had to inform before embarking on his journey, since he and Elysia had received a great deal of care from this person over the past three years.

It was absolutely impossible for him to leave without saying goodbye. At least in this era and in this orphanage, she was indeed like a mother to the boy, Bai Ge.

Moreover...

What Bai Ge should do is not run away from home.

Instead, they embarked on a journey.

"I see. So, Little Bai Ge, you've finally made up your mind?"

"Celia's mother?"

To Bai Ge's surprise, Celia didn't show much astonishment. Instead, she gently raised her hand and embraced him, as if bidding him a reluctant farewell.

"I've always had a feeling that this day might come sooner or later. And Little Bai Ge, haven't you been climbing onto the roof a lot lately to look out at the town? I was wondering if you wanted to go outside."

"Yes, Mother Celia ..."

"It's okay. It's a good thing to have a place you want to go. Everyone in this world has to embark on their own journey sooner or later. Although it may seem a little early for you, I'm glad that you've found your goal, Little Bai Ge. However..."

Celia suddenly changed her tone and said sarcastically.

"Compared to my challenge, the one you should be most worried about right now is Elysia's challenge, right?"

"Um, I, I'll talk to her about '937' properly."

Bai Ge lacked confidence when she said this.

He gave an expression as if he had accidentally drunk bitter melon juice.

Bai Ge found it hard to imagine what kind of expression the Pink Fairy would make when he told Elysia he was going to leave the town.

Celia: "Hehe~ Maybe then Aili will just start crying and making a scene, waaaaa, rolling around on the ground. Oh dear, just thinking about it makes me feel so sorry for her."

Bai Ge: "Pfft—!"

Celia's words were like a knife stabbing into Bai Ge's heart, and Bai felt his stomach begin to ache.

Will he really be able to win that girl back then?

Bai Ge really has absolutely no confidence.

However, at this very moment...

"Is Mother Celia here? Aili has something to say to you... Hey? Bai Ge, what are you doing here too?"

Speaking of Ellie, Ellie arrived.

A cute pink head peeked out from outside the door.

Unlike Elysia, who is always smiling, her boss rarely showed any signs of nervousness.

Upon seeing Bai Ge, Aili not only didn't approach him as usual, but almost turned and ran away.

"Aili, are you having a nightmare? Is it so late and you're still awake? Do you want me to sing you a song later? Um, what's wrong with you? Don't go."

"That expression... Oh dear, no way."

Bai Ge, seeing Aili's expression, thought she was having a nightmare, while Celia, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow and gave a wry smile, unsure of what to say.

Elysia's expression at this moment was exactly the same as the expression she had when Bai Ge came to find her earlier.

Celia felt that just by looking at this expression, she could already guess most of what this girl was going to say.

However, glancing at the boy beside her, she decided to pretend she didn't know and let Elysia say the rebuttal herself.

"Little Aili, is something the matter?"

"Yes, yes! I have something very important to say."

Elysia nodded heavily, then, prepared herself, went back into the room and nervously looked at the white-haired boy beside her. She hadn't expected Bai Ge to be there too.

Suddenly I felt that the courage I had mustered earlier might not be enough, but I couldn't back down now.

Aili clenched her little fists and looked at the two of them with utmost seriousness.

"Bai Ge, Mother Celia, I want... I want to leave here, leave this town."

"Aili?!" Bai Ge's eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Having anticipated this, Celia smiled wryly and continued to ask, Elysia also organized her thoughts before replying.

"Those people who came to the town to do check-ups for everyone before, they made me realize that there are so many things in the outside world that I don't know. So I want to go out and see the world. I also want to be like the protagonist in the story and find the paradise at the end of the world!"

The world is so big, she wants to go out and see it!

Elysia said seriously, her gaze fixed on Celia, as she dared not look at Bai Ge beside her.

Just as Bai Ge didn't know how to tell her about this, Elysia didn't know how to tell him either. When they were facing each other, they both felt that they weren't ready to say goodbye.

Even so, Elysia couldn't help but steal glances at Bai Ge, wanting to see what kind of expression he would make after hearing her words.

Will you feel reluctant to leave yourself? Will you be sad? Or will you be angry?

Just thinking about Elysia makes me feel so uneasy.

Especially the last one.

Elysia had never seen Bai Ge when he was angry. Although she was a little curious, she didn't want to see it at all.

"Wow~ You two are as in sync as ever, you're like telepaths. Anyone who didn't know better would suspect that you've rehearsed it."

"Mother Celia, what do you mean?"

Elysia tilted her head blankly.

She then let the kind woman pull her into her arms, and then she saw that Bai Ge also had a subtle expression on his face, as if he didn't know how to start a conversation.

"Wait, could it be that Bai Ge also..."

"Aili, just like you thought, I'm also planning to embark on a journey. I came here tonight to talk to Mother Celia about it."

Bai Ge patted Elysia's head, both amused and exasperated, while also feeling joy at their renewed understanding.

"Huh? Bai Ge, you're like that too?!"

Elysia's mouth gaped open in surprise, and she didn't know what to say.

Celia gazed tenderly at the white and pink fluffy balls in her arms, feeling her heart healed just by looking at them. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she spoke up.

"By the way, since that's the case, why don't you two travel together? That way you can look after each other and I'll feel more at ease. With your great understanding, even if you encounter a problem that one of you can't solve alone, you'll definitely be able to work together to overcome it."

"...x2"

Bai Ge and Elysia stared at each other with blank expressions, wondering about traveling together.
