These ordinary people don't seem like the kind of beings who could withstand the attacks of those monsters. Don't they have any protective measures at all?

"No way, how could memories affect memories? Oh, I ran into someone I know. Mei, wait Mei minute, I'll go say hello... Hi, Elsa, why are you all dressed up so nicely today? Wearing makeup on a weekday, what are you planning to do?"

As she spoke, Elysia greeted the staff member in the white coat over there, who seemed to be an acquaintance of Elysia's.

Hehe, I won't tell you~

The girl greeted by Elysia blushed slightly, and it was easy to tell what she wanted to do. Elysia didn't press for details, and the girl gave a knowing smile, "I see."

"Oh, you seem to be in a good mood! What happened? You'll have to tell me about it next time."

After a brief greeting, she left. Before Mei speak, Elysia took the initiative to introduce them.

"She was my colleague at Flame-Chasers. Like everything here, Elsa is a precious memory for me... Oh, and that little girl in front of me too."

With a smile in her eyes, Elysia ran over happily and squatted down. The little girl in front of her also smiled happily.

"Elysia! Elysia! Come play... Hey, how did you grow so tall?"

"Hmph, because I've listened to Mother Celia, never been a picky eater, and gone to bed on time every day. I'm a good boy."

Whether it's the elderly, people their own age, or even little girls, Elysia can easily become one with them. Standing not far behind Elysia, Mei quietly watches Elysia. This girl truly has a unique charm.

Chapter 128 Elysian Realm Archives

"Wow! Then I'll listen to Mom too, eat on time, and go to bed on time!"

Provoked by Elysia's words, the little girl clenched her fists and said earnestly, then happily turned and left. Mei glanced at Elysia with a subtle look. "You... never pick at your food? And go to bed on time every day?"

To be honest, Mei didn't think Elysia could do that. This girl didn't give off that obedient type vibe. Mei didn't believe she could do that. It was impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Yes, what's wrong? Is something strange...? Look, Mei, Shen Gonglin, they are how I remember them, and I am how they remember me too. Some are older than me, but I have to call them 'older sister.' I've carefully memorized what they look like... right?"

Not feeling that she had said anything wrong, Elysia smiled at the two of them. She had indeed memorized everyone's voice and smile and then recreated them in this Eternal Elysium. Mei didn't know what to say for a moment. Then, Elysia led the two of them to a special room, which looked like a study.

The room was large, empty, and quiet. Only the machine on the table in the center of the room stood out. What was this place? Mei's gaze lingered on the machine for a moment, then Mei looked at Elysia, hoping she could explain. There was such a place in the Elysian Realm?

"Hmm... let's call it Elysian Realm Archives for now. Isn't it a simple and easy-to-understand name? Just read the documents next to the typewriter. As smart as you are, you will understand immediately. Come on, read them."

Elysia looked at Shen Gonglin and Mei with some anticipation. She shouldn't tell them these things herself; they should understand them objectively. The information obtained here was absolutely true.

File? What kind of file?

Mei walked to the table without hesitation. Only then did she realize that the machine looked like a typewriter, a Mei she had only seen in museums and old movies. The girl picked up a page, and the writing on it transformed from some unrecognizable symbols into the characters she knew best. This was...

When the reinforcements arrived, the Eleventh Herrscher was already hanging on an ambiguous cross, lifeless.

Even the most resolute warriors shed tears for this... They had thought that their own end was near, that they too would be buried alongside all the warriors here, and with their former friends...

The text looked somewhat familiar. Mei frowned and thought for a moment, "Red Ice"... She had read this file before; it was about Kevin's past.

"Oh dear, don't read it aloud. That's Kevin's secret. It's best not to let any third party know except for his successor and Kevin himself."

Seeing that Mei was about to read the contents of the document, Elysia quickly stopped her. These little secrets should not be known by others. It is enough for the successor and the person to know them. Mei looked at the paper in her hand and also had her own thoughts.

"So, those files stored in the Memory Plate... were all printed by it?"

Looking at the typewriter in front of her, Mei recalled the files she had seen before. She had a premonition that all the files she knew about were printed using this thing.

"Yes, these files were not compiled by any one person. Instead, they are the memories of Flame-Chasers brought to life in writing through this typewriter, allowing for an objective and fair account of the facts. They were originally stored in another place, and it took me a lot of work clothes to move them here."

Elysia pouted and complained, but these were all very important things, so it was only right to put a little effort into them. These things could objectively and fairly unfold Flame-Chasers's memories and tell them to his successors, without any subjective impressions or personal will. They were things worth preserving.

"So... you brought me here. Is it because you want our upcoming conversation to be presented in the form of a file?"

Mei was quick-witted; she soon figured out Elysia's purpose in bringing her here: objectivity and fairness. This was exactly what she wanted. Apart from a very few well-behaved children, everyone in the Elysian Realm was a riddle person, so Mei was happy to get the information she wanted this way.

Shen Gonglin wasn't very interested in these things. He wandered around the archives room aimlessly, wondering if there was anything interesting there.

"That's right, that's how we make things objective and fair, isn't it? After all, the story I'm about to tell might be a bit long, and I hope that throughout the process, you will always arrive at an answer that you believe in."

Elysia's smile was warm and innocent. Looking at that face, Mei's wariness had no effect on her. Just as Eden had said, you can always trust Elysia. Mei seemed to understand this more clearly at this moment.

"I see. I've read those files. They are indeed an accurate and detailed record. So, how do you operate this thing?"

Mei recalled the information she had seen in the Memory Plate. If those documents were printed from this thing, then their authenticity was indeed believable. But how should this thing be used now? Mei didn't quite understand.

"Oh, I'll have to ask another friend for help... Alright, it's your turn... Hey, Shen Gonglin, that super cute little guy over there, hurry up and bring him over for me."

Elysia was preparing to introduce a lovely creature, and at that moment, Shen Gonglin also discovered something special in the archives. Like Pardofelis, Shen Gonglin also had the blood of an adventurer flowing through her veins. While searching, she found a little girl who was clearly modeled after Elysia lying quietly in the corner. This thing doesn't seem to be a real person.

"Oh... Elysia, what is this?"

Carrying the little girl in the style of Elysia, Shen Gonglin Jingu took the opportunity to pinch her. The feel of her was exactly like that of a real person. This sleeping beauty reminded Shen Gonglin of many anime she had watched. How did they wake up such things? Generally speaking, the first person that such a being sees upon waking up should be recognized as its master.

"Ta-da! She's the Fairy Administrator of the Elysian Realm Archives. Isn't she cute?"

He solemnly introduced the being that Shen Gonglin had brought over, saying it was his proud creation.

Chapter 129 Archives Administrator

"Elysia ...you're not going to tell me that this...is also... Flame-Chasers?"

Mei was somewhat unable to accept it. She stammered as she looked at the fairy girl that Mei Shen Gonglin was carrying. She looked like a Sleeping Beauty, someone she had never seen before. She looked exactly like Elysia. She had never heard that Alicia had a younger sister. Was she also one of the Flame-Chasers? Impossible.

"How could that be, Mei? Are you really looking forward to having fourteen people among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers? That would be a bit distrustful of me."

Elysia shook her finger. Although it's normal for five of the Four Heavenly Kings to be there, the Thirteen Flame-Chasers are the Thirteen Flame-Chasers; there won't be a fourteenth one.

"Okay... so what does she look like...?"

Looking at the girl being hugged from behind by Shen Gonglin, no matter how you look at it, she has an inextricable connection with Elysia. This must be related to Elysia, no doubt about it.

"Aren't they cute? After all, they're modeled after me, possessing the same beauty and wisdom as me. There are thirteen in total. Originally, I planned to give them to all the Flame-Chasers, but in the end, only Eden and Aponia accepted them. Mei, Shen Gonglin, do you want them? There are still many in stock."

Like a shopkeeper selling dolls, Elysia spoke very generously. Mei wasn't interested, but Shen Gonglin was a little tempted. This thing really suited his taste. He could definitely get a few for himself, one for the bedroom and one for the bathroom... It seemed like a lot of fun.

"... Let's put that aside for now. Is it alright that this administrator hasn't moved at all since the beginning?"

Mei felt that if Shen Gonglin took this thing back, it might threaten her position, so Mei didn't give Shen Gonglin a chance to speak. She pointed at the sleeping administrator and wondered if sleeping was the normal state.

"Because Mei hasn't said the wake-up word yet, she's still in dormant mode. There's only one way to wake up this lovely fairy lady, and that is... No! That's not how it works, Shen Gonglin! That's not how you wake up the fairy lady!"

While Elysia was still keeping everyone in suspense, Shen Gonglin had already started doing what she wanted. Generally, there's only one way to wake up a sleeping beauty like Sleeping Beauty or Snow White. Although Shen Gonglin has always felt that those so-called princes are a bit perverted, going straight up to a girl who's unconscious and just going to bite her or something... But when this happens to her, even Shen Gonglin can only follow her intuition.

"Huh? That's not how it's portrayed on TV."

Amidst Elysia's screams, Shen Gonglin wiped her mouth somewhat embarrassedly. Even Mei's gaze turned unfriendly. Shen Gonglin shyly wiped the administrator's moist lips with her hand, and Mei's face darkened completely. Had she been too lenient with Shen Gonglin? Now he dared to do such a thing in front of her. She really had to teach him a lesson!

"If that's not the case, then is there some kind of switch?"

Feeling a bit flustered by Mei's silent glare, Shen Gonglin quickly changed the subject and flipped the administrator around. Maybe her on/off mechanism is like Doraemon's. By the way, does she have a tail?

"That's not it! Shen Gonglin Mei... Mei, you do it. This is the awakening phrase."

Seeing what Shen Gonglin had just done made even Elysia blush and feel her heart Shen Gonglin was willful and bold, but she never expected him to do something like this. This was made based on her, so Elysia felt that Shen Gonglin was doing this to her... No, it was too embarrassing!

Elysia snatched the administrator, Fairy, from the table, wrote something on a blank space in a file, and handed it to Mei Shen Gonglin couldn't be teased casually, or she would easily embarrass herself, but Mei was different; she could be teased without worry.

What was the awakening word? Mei took the paper Elysia handed her, and after she read the words on it, the girl fell into a long silence. She looked at the paper, then at Elysia, her silence tinged with stubbornness. She stared at Elysia Mei, hoping to get a negative answer from her, but the result...

Elysia smiled at Mei, her beautiful eyes filled with encouragement. "Come on, Mei, say it out loud!"

"Oh my, Mei's shy and embarrassed expression is so cute. There's only one way to start it up beforehand."

Knowing what Mei wanted to say, Elysia blocked Mei's path with her words. There was only one way to activate the Administrator, which was to turn Mei into light... Ugh, I misspoke. So what is this last method of activation?

Suddenly realizing why the other Flame-Chasers were unwilling to accept this gift, Mei finally spoke after a long silence.

Can I not start it?

"Hehe, that's Mei's freedom, but... with the truth right in front of us, are we really going to let it slip away like this?"

Elysia said with a grin. She knew Mei's personality, so this was an open scheme. She was really looking forward to it. Mei's shy and helpless look was so exciting.

What exactly is the awakening word? Seeing the two of them like this, Shen Gonglin was incredibly curious. He ran over to see what Mei was holding, but the girl clenched the paper tightly so Shen Gonglin wouldn't see it. She knew that if it were him, he could read it without any pressure, but if Shen Gonglin read it, Mei felt that it would be double the punishment, and she didn't want to be cuckolded.

"I understand... darling..."

Taking a deep breath, Mei decided to put aside her shame. Elysia was right. Knowing that the truth was right in front of her, she couldn't give up the opportunity to pursue it. So, she might as well throw away her morals. Shen Gonglin often threw away her morals, so it didn't matter if she did the same.

"Huh? Mei? What are you saying? You can't not say the wake word clearly."

Not giving Mei any chance to get away with being cute, Elysia interrupted Mei's vague statement, insisting that she speak more clearly.

Chapter 130 Fairy Elysia

Sigh... Never mind, it's all for the sake of the investigation. Besides, besides Elysia, only Shen Gonglin is here. I've never had much face in front of Shen Gonglin. As for Elysia, Mei has gotten used to it.

So, this time we're going all out.

"Darling... Elysia ... what's wrong? There's no reaction at all."

Suppressing her shyness, Mei mustered her courage and uttered the incredibly embarrassing wake-up call. However, the administrator remained asleep after she finished speaking. Mei immediately began to suspect Elysia over there, and the girl's eyes turned unfriendly. Could this be Alicia deliberately setting her up? Given Elysia's personality, it was quite possible!

"Oh dear, what happened? I think... your voice was too soft, it probably didn't hear you, right? We'll have to try again now."

With a smile on her face, it was obvious that Elysia wanted to tease Mei, but Mei really couldn't do anything about it. After all, the only way to find out the truth was to work hard herself. She was really being completely controlled by Alicia. The girl took a deep breath and felt that staying in the Elysian Realm for too long had made her lose all her integrity.

"My dear, love, Lily, Shia!"

Mei uttered the wickedly humorous wake-up call word by word, which satisfied Elysia. The Fairy Administrator, who had been sleeping, also made a sound. It turned out that it wasn't controlled by some kind of switch, but by voice. How advanced! Shen Gonglin had thought it would have a tail switch like Doraemon.

"Program in progress... System calibration complete... Personality loading complete."

After a series of precise, mechanically-sounding instructions, the fairy doll that Elysia called the administrator opened its eyes. The moment those beautiful big eyes opened, they were fixed on Mei, and the joy it felt was simply overflowing.

"Wow! Humans, lovely humans! Hello! I am Fairy Elysia from the Melody Country, and I have come here to meet you, the one who is so important to me!"

The Melody Country? Fairy Elysia... I must say, as expected of a creation based on Elysia, the style is exactly the same as hers. But now that I've finally awakened her, I hope I won't let down my efforts in abandoning my principles and uttering the awakening words.

"Uh... Hello, Fairy Elysia, my name is Raiden Mei, and this is Shen Gonglin... You're the administrator of this archives, right? So, you should know how to start this typewriter, shouldn't you?"

Without any intention of wasting words, Mei went straight to asking how to use the typewriter. Elysia said that the things printed out by this thing were objective and impartial, and asked her to see if she could find out the truth about the Elysian Realm from it.

"Oh dear, how impatient humans are. Have they already ordered around a weak fairy before even properly greeting her?"

The Fairy Administrator was talking in a babbling voice, but since she was made based on Elysia, Mei really couldn't associate her with weakness. Mei silently looked at the administrator, wondering if all she needed to do at this moment was to smile.

"I really can't do anything with you guys. What can I do? I'm a gentle and kind fairy, aren't I? Well then, let me introduce you to this Elysian Realm Information Database Data Acquisition Control Console Interactive Output... Uh... Let me introduce you to this magical typewriter!"

Perhaps in an attempt to demonstrate her professionalism, the administrator seemed to have forgotten the full name of the device halfway through her explanation. It was something like "Elysian Realm Information Database Data Acquisition Console Interactive Output"... It could simply be described as "The Magical Typewriter."

"Don't worry about some trivial details. This typewriter can access all the information stored in the Elysian Realm. If left unattended, it will automatically print out the major events that have happened recently."

Without any sign of embarrassment, the awakened administrator flew to the typewriter and gently touched it. The typewriter then started up and produced a new document, which Mei picked up. After reading the text on it, the girl nodded knowingly. It seemed that was indeed the case.

"The entrance to Eternal Elysium is open... I see, it is indeed an objective and impartial account. Miss Administrator, what if I want to inquire about specific information?"

Without any interference, it automatically prints out the major events that happened in the Elysian Realm? The opening of the entrance to this Eternal Elysium is indeed a major event worth recording, but what I want to know is not such a general matter. This information has already proven the function of this typewriter, Mei wants to know more.

"That's a bit difficult. It might be faster to try than to explain. Here, type out your question."

Please tell me the truth about the Thirteenth Herrscher.

Under the expectant gaze of the Fairy Administrator, Mei spoke directly, without any regard for the fact that the Thirteenth Herrscher was standing right next to her. Even though Mei typed such a question on the typewriter, Elysia didn't seem to care. The girl covered her mouth and chuckled. As expected of Mei, she was so straightforward.

The typewriter started up, and after a series of distinctive hums typical of such "old" machines, it only produced a single document. Mei took it and raised an eyebrow. It was just a blank sheet of paper... Mei frowned and looked at the administrator, wondering what this meant.

"Because for such a general question, it's impossible to find one or a few files in the memory bank to summarize it. To give you an accurate answer, I'd probably have to print out Elysia's entire life! But even then, you probably wouldn't be able to read it all, right? This typewriter can only ever tell you specific facts, so don't forget that."

After explaining the reason for the current situation to Mei, Fairy Elysia shrugged helplessly. Wanting to know everything about Elysia, what a greedy human she is, but it's only natural.

After all, no matter who it is, when they see Elysia, they will want to get to know her better.

"I see... Well then, let's start with Elysia's past."

What the Fairy Elysia said made a lot of sense. Mei didn't feel anything was wrong. All that could be said was the specific facts, and that was enough. That was all Mei wanted to know.

"That's very simple! Just have her put her hand on the typewriter's keyboard..."

"That's what the Fairy Elysia said," Elise said, and at that moment, Elysia walked over.

Chapter 131 Two Riddlers

"Like... this?"

Elysia placed her hand on the typewriter without hesitation. After all, she wanted to show Mei her true self, something Elysia had always been willing to do.

"That's right! Just do that, and the typewriter will automatically retrieve and print out a file related to her. It will even prioritize events that are more valuable to you. Even she herself can't control what kind of record is printed, so it's full of surprises..."
