Her delicate and pure face, paired with a hot, curvaceous figure, she was the epitome of pure allure.
If Elysia was an innocent and lively earthly spirit, then Eden was an elegant and quiet princess of a noble nation.
The two of them standing together were truly a breathtaking sight.
"Eden, why the long face? Can't you cheer up even when you see me~"
With a playful laugh, Elysia pulled Eden to sit down and pointed at the live stream camera, "Say hello to everyone first~"
"Huh? You're live streaming?"
"Heehee~ That's right, want to guess what I'm streaming today?"
Eden gave a helpless smile and lightly nodded towards the stream, acknowledging the greeting.
"If it's an indoor stream... I really can't guess."
[Aaaah... Eden!!]
[I'm shipping these two so hard, sob sob~~]
[This really is a treasure of a stream, seeing a superstar!!]
[Eden~~ Look at me, look at me!!]
[Rebellion! The stream is being flooded by Eden's fans...]
[I will forever love Elysia!!]
Elysia glanced at the stream comments, her eyes immediately curving into crescent moons, "Eden, look, so many people are praising you~"
"Mhm, I see it." Looking at Elysia's innocent smile, the gloom in Eden's heart vanished by more than half.
Elysia seemed to possess a magical quality that could dispel all gloom and unhappiness.
Whenever Eden hit a creative block while writing songs, she would come to talk with Elysia.
While it didn't necessarily spark any inspiration, she would always be infected by the other's innocent and lively smile.
Naturally, her mood would lift.
"So... what is Elysia streaming today?"
"Heehee~ It's this!" She pointed at the game on the computer screen and explained, "This is a game that just went public today!"
"It has so many cute beautiful girls~ What we need to do is lead these beautiful girls to fight monsters~"
Eden had actually seen the game on the computer screen earlier, but upon seeing the full anime art style, her first reaction was – this must be an anime.
And after hearing Elysia's explanation, Eden was a little surprised.
"It's actually a game! Hmm... the art style is exquisite." This was her first comment upon seeing Honkai Impact 3rd.
"Heehee~ Not only that, but the game's story is also very interesting~" As Elysia spoke, she leaned her body against Eden, then whispered softly into Eden's ear:
"Eden, if you're free today, play with me~"
Eden was already accustomed to this side of Elysia.
She glanced at Elysia with a doting gaze and smiled helplessly, "Alright, I'll listen to you then."
"Heehee~"
After an afternoon of immersive experience, Elysia now had a preliminary understanding of Honkai Impact 3rd's worldview.
She introduced the game's worldview to Eden, explaining what Honkai was, what a Herrscher was, and what a Valkyrie was.
She also introduced the Valkyries who appeared in the story one by one to Eden.
During the time Elysia was explaining, the popularity of her stream continued to soar.
The viewer count had already surged to over 500,000 and was still climbing.
As Elysia introduced Honkai Impact 3rd to Eden, new viewers in the stream passively absorbed this information.
"I see, so it's a story about beautiful girls saving the world, right?" After listening to Elysia's explanation, Eden also developed some interest in the game.
"Mhm, mhm... something like that, but if you experience it carefully, you'll find the story isn't that childish~"
"There are many foreshadowing points in the story, but I, with my keen eyes, have discovered them all~ Heehee~"
"So, it's probably not as simple as beautiful girls saving the world."
"And, I really like Mei and Kiana in the game~ I feel like their relationship is just like yours and mine~"
Elysia became more and more excited as she spoke, her body leaning towards Eden once more:
"When two brilliant and radiant souls meet, they give birth to even more dazzling brilliance..."
"Isn't it so romantic~?"
"Ah? I think I might have said a bit too much~"
"But Eden definitely won't mind me talking a lot, right~ Heehee..."
Eden looked at Elysia dotingly, a smile unconsciously forming on her lips, "As Elysia would say – cute girls can get away with anything."
"Hehe~" Elysia stood up again, her tone cheerful. "Alright, next, let's go save the pretty girls~"
After playing for an afternoon, Elysia had already pushed the story to Chapter Seven.
Kiana had been recovered by Otto, and Theresa decided to attack Schicksal to rescue Kiana.
[Chapter Seven: Raising the Sword of Rebellion to the Heavens]
With Elysia's guidance, Eden quickly familiarized herself with the controls.
She controlled Himeko, swinging a greatsword on the deck of the Helios battleship.
Watching the Schicksal mechs fall one by one, Eden felt a sense of accomplishment.
After Elysia's introduction, Eden found herself really liking this capable red-haired girl.
"Her name is Himeko, right?"
Elysia nodded. "That's right, Kiana calls her Aunt Himeko."
"She's actually an aunt..."
If Himeko heard that, she would probably retort indignantly: You should call me Sister Himeko!
After all, Himeko in this world was only 26 years old.

Chapter 15: A Million Views, Is Eden Taking Ads?
As time went on, Eden finally reached the boss stage of Chapter Seven.
Upon entering the stage, the first thing that greeted her was an animated short.
Paired with stirring music, the short, mere seconds long, perfectly conveyed the oppressive presence of a Judgment-class Honkai beast.
"Wow! The boss for this stage is a Judgment-class Honkai beast~" Elysia's eyes sparkled.
Having understood the game's basic world view, Elysia and Eden now knew what a Judgment-class Honkai beast was.
They were powerful monsters, second only to Herrschers.
With that in mind, Eden became serious.
"This stage should be difficult... Elysia, why don't you play?"
Elysia replied, "I believe in you, Eden~"
Eden: "..."
Honestly, after watching that animated short, she too had been startled by the aura of the Judgment-class Honkai beast.
Eden didn't even notice that she had become completely immersed in the story without realizing it.
Therefore, when she saw the terrifying Benares, she worried that Himeko might die under her control.
"Okay... I'll try," Eden swallowed and looked intently at the computer screen.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned to Elysia. "Right, if the character dies, they can be revived, right?"
Elysia looked at Eden, suddenly understanding something, and let out a chuckle.
"Don't worry, Eden. After dying, you can revive the Valkyries with full health for 15 Crystals."
Hearing this, Eden's slightly trembling fingers finally calmed down.
"That's good..."
Murmuring softly, Eden then seriously controlled Himeko and charged towards Benares.
Compared to the body of the Judgment-class Honkai beast, Himeko's petite figure seemed so small.
But with every swing of her sword, Eden felt a strong sense of impact.
Swing, dodge, activate ultimate...
For the first time, Eden felt the joy of gaming.
Fortunately, the main story wasn't difficult, and after a minute of intense battle, Eden still passed the stage.
Before the stage settlement screen, the view changed to another short film.
Fu Hua was seen flying high in the sky, wearing the fourth-generation Valkyrie armor, looking sternly at Benares in the distance. "No... with Helios's performance, it's completely unable to deal with a Judgment-class Honkai beast. I have to help draw it away."
Fu Hua's words surprised both Elysia and Eden.
"Huh? Isn't this the girl who captured Kiana? She's actually coming to help?"
Elysia smiled. "See, I told you there were foreshadowing elements earlier. This is definitely not just a simple story of pretty girls saving the world."
"I guess... Class Monitor Fu Hua must have gone undercover at Schicksal."
Eden nodded in agreement, then continued to push the story, quickly reaching the final stage of Chapter Seven.
"Last stage."
"I get to try out Fu Hua's S-rank armor?~" Looking at the game screen, Elysia's eyes shone.
The next second, she grabbed Eden's arm. "Little Angel Eden, let me play this stage~"
Eden didn't refuse either, directly pushing the keyboard to Elysia before propping her chin and quietly watching Elysia.
[Fourth Generation Valkyrie Armor, Shadow Knight: Moonbeam, restrictions removed!]
In the short film, Fu Hua's black armor rapidly transformed.
The audience in the live stream was incredibly excited by the sight of this battle suit transformation.
The game began.
This combat scene took place amidst a sea of clouds.
"Wow~ what a beautiful setting..." Before Elysia could finish her exclamation, a hurried alarm sounded abruptly, immediately followed by the dazzling appearance of a Judgment-class Honkai beast.
"Is it this defeated foe again?~ This time, Elysia will defeat you~"
Elysia skillfully controlled Fu Hua, dodging, punching, performing branch attacks...
She seemed to be playing much more smoothly than Eden.
"A mission like this is just too easy~" Looking at the game's settlement screen, Elysia proudly sought praise from Eden: "Eden, won't you praise me~"
"I'll happily accept your praise~"
Eden smiled gently, "Elysia, you're amazing."
"Then let's continue with the [Beautiful Girl Rescue Plan]~"
When Elysia clicked on the stage selection screen, she discovered that Chapter 8 was the final chapter.
"Queen's Arrival? It seems it's only updated to Chapter 8 so far."
Unlike Eden, Elysia's focus was clearly elsewhere.
"Eden, look, Kiana and Mei are so sweet. Can I hold you like this too?"
On the screen for Chapter 8's stage, Kiana was holding Mei in a princess carry, exuding a strong sense of affection.
