Memorial for a Deceased Wife? (Continued)

With each step Sakura took up the stairs, her donkey-like fox ears would twitch, making her quite eye-catching.

It can be said that she captured Elysia's heart.

"I never expected that Sister Elysia would be so innocent in Sister Ying's eyes."

Pardo sighed.

When Elysia first appeared, her mysterious aura and her frequent ability to save the day often led viewers to inexplicably assume she was a villain.

But I only found out now.

Her Signets is her True Self.

"I thought it was just the old fogey who didn't know anything, but I didn't expect that Sakura didn't know either."

Little Knowledge pouted.

Fu Hua tilted her head.

She had a strange feeling that someone else was just as clueless as she was, and Little Knowledge felt unhappy.

I don't understand.

I don't understand at all.

"Is this... foreshadowing?"

Ling hesitated for a moment.

Honkai never shows useless plots, but if this is foreshadowing, does it mean that Sakura will definitely know the truth later?

As for the truth, it must be something everyone is hiding from her—the date of Rin's death.

Sakura and Rin depend on each other for survival. If they knew that Rin had been brutally murdered by combat personnel under the rules set by Aponia, who would doubt what outrageous things Sakura might do?

That's probably why Mei mentioned it so cryptically.

"Sakura's memory was left behind too early in the timeline, so even the Herrscher didn't know about it, let alone Elysia's identity as the Thirteenth Herrscher."

Eden sighed.

Despite having prepared for it all, knowing that from the day his character stepped into the Honkai, the knives would never stop falling on him, but when the knives actually touched him...

Eden realized that he could not simply ignore it.

Silence.

Mei continued her exploration until she encountered Eden.

Eden seemed to be staring blankly into the distance, only snapping out of his daze when Mei approached him.

Based on her conversation with Eden, Mei discovers that Eden doesn't seem to care about Elysia's Herrscher identity, even though she was born into a civilization where Herrscher are enemies of humanity and bring suffering to the world.

"Elysia is not our enemy, nor is she a threat to humanity. She is a warrior who fights for humanity, and the only one who gathers Flame-Chasers. She is also my irreplaceable friend."

When Eden mentioned Elysia, a smile played on his lips, and his eyes shone with an extremely complex light, filled with tenderness and affection, like friendship, yet also like love...

"Elysia is Elysia. In my eyes, she will always be a likable and admirable girl, nothing more. As for the Thirteenth Herrscher, she is more like... a wedding dress she prepared for herself."

Eden smiled and said that the rest of the story should be told to Mei by Elysia herself.

Mei was certain that Eden knew what it was, but he didn't tell her. Was it for her sake, or for Elysia's?

Eden tells Mei Elysia wants Mei to get to know her better, to experience everything here, and to remember the memories here.

After all, Mei is walking through Elysia's heart, and can see all the feelings that she cherishes deep in her heart.

Eden excused herself at the end; she had to go see another friend.

"Waaaaah, Eden, what you said is so beautiful, I'm so moved I'm crying."

Elysia, her eyes glistening with tears, threw herself into Eden's arms.

Eden gently smoothed Elysia's long hair.

"No, Elysia, I think the character in the story was just expressing his own thoughts."

Elysia playfully rubbed against Eden's beautiful face.

"Never mind, Eden, you're my best friend~ We'll be best friends for life!"

Eden was taken aback.

"Yes, good friend."

Eden's emotions inexplicably stirred something...

Yaqing shook her head. Perhaps it was because she was trying to bring the emotions from the script into reality that she was so sensitive. After all, Elysia and Eden were best friends for life.

"If that's the case, then it's strange that Elysia retained her humanity after becoming Herrscher. Why did none of the Herrscher from the Previous Era retain their humanity, but Elysia did?"

Mei frowned.

She began to understand Kevin's purpose in having Mei Elysian Realm.

As the only Herrscher from the Previous Era who retained her consciousness, Elysia was not controlled by the Collapse Consciousness. Therefore, this special designated place is located somewhere, or rather, it is the so-called truth of the Honkai hidden by the Previous Era.

The answer Mei was searching for was Elysia from beginning to end.

"I have a feeling that things aren't that simple..."

Mobius leaned against Yaqing's chest.

If Mei had already figured out the answer, then there wouldn't have been this week's storyline, right? And since there was this week's storyline, it means that the events in the Elysian Realm are never over.

"Sister Snake, there can't possibly be any more danger, right?"

Pardo scratched her head.

"Now that all the Flame-Chasers have come out, what danger could there be? Besides, this is Sister Elysia's inner world."

"Hmph, that's precisely why I say that, because it's Elysia's inner world."

Mobius snorted coldly.

"Hello!"

Elysia put her hands on her hips.

While Mei was wandering around, she accidentally stumbled upon Vill-V's magic show. Vill-V strongly recommended the cards she had sealed with the power of the Signets, and then ran away talking to herself.

Mei didn't even have a chance to ask about the Thirteenth Herrscher, but it didn't matter anyway. If she were to ask, she wouldn't know which personality to ask.

Immediately after, Mei heard Pardo's cries for help and rushed over to the sound, only to see a scene that was both funny and sad.

Pardo was stuck inside the treasure chest in a strange and awkward position.

"Isn't it an adventurer's duty to open a treasure chest when they see one? And isn't it only natural to go inside and examine it carefully after opening it?"

Pardo shouted defiantly.

"Yes, it is indeed a perfect trap for you... Curiosity killed the cat, I'll remember that."

Mei's sharp and accurate commentary.

The Kitty begged Mei to save it, even offering to pay money, but then stopped mid-sentence, saying it would think of something else.

He's a money-grubber who'd risk his life for it.

Mei immediately, startling Pardo so much that she blurted out whatever she wanted to say, and then Mei smashed the treasure chest to pieces.

The incident where the Kitty got stuck in the treasure chest.

The audience burst into laughter at this scene.

Only one person was unhappy.

That's Pardo.

Pardo puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"Yaqing, how could you slander us? How could we be so stupid? It's usually the Canned Food that gets stuck in the box!"

"Meow?!"

The Canned Food raised its head, and a hint of confusion could even be seen on its face.

"Smear campaign?"

Yaqing gave a half-smile.

"Then I'll have to talk about what happened a few days ago... umm."

Pardo rushed forward and covered Yaqing's mouth, giving an awkward laugh.

"Pretend we didn't say anything, pretend we didn't say anything."

Pardo whispered in Yaqing's ear.

"Yaqing, didn't you say you wouldn't mention that matter again?"

Yaqing gave him a look that indicated you brought it up first.

Pardo quickly admitted her mistake.

Mobius, nestled in Yaqing's arms, raised his head and looked at her curiously.

Like herself in the story, Pardo essentially confessed without being asked.

Everyone seemed to understand.

I just don't know the specifics of what happened.

To repay her life-saving grace, Pardo follows Mei on her quest to find the treasure chest.

Search for the treasure chests left behind by Vill-V.

However, while the two were exploring the Eternal Elysium, at the same time, Eden, after saying goodbye to Mei, went to the Depths and sought out Aponia.

Eden didn't say much, but went straight to the point, mentioning the banquet, in which they were all witnesses and each lost a friend that night.

Eden and Aponia's conversation touched on many things, including Eternal Elysium and Elysia, and it seemed that the two of them had a very good relationship, even hiding a secret together.

A secret that is about to be exposed to everyone.

According to Aponia, Mei has the same lines as Elysia.

"When all the keys are gathered and the Crystal Flower blooms again, Eden, will you sing that song one more time?"

"Okay, that's my wish too. Then, let's invite everyone to listen to her favorite song."

The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.

Little Knowledge scratched his head frantically.

Until the carefully styled hair was ruined.

"My head is so itchy, I feel like my brain is growing out of it."

The conversation between Eden and Aponia is so captivating that many viewers find it incomprehensible.

It can only be viewed from the most superficial perspective.

"From their conversation, it seems that Elysia revealed her identity as the Thirteenth Herrscher at a banquet, and then died. Who exactly did it?"

Mei frowned.

He looked around at everyone.

Eden is unlikely, Aponia is unlikely, Kalpas probably won't make a move against Elysia, Mobius might not be able to defeat her, and Pardo, Fu Hua, Kosma and Griseo are even less likely.

Sakura was already dead at that time, Su wouldn't do it, and Vill-V doesn't seem like it.

Then only one person remains.

May looked at Kevin.

Kevin pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered.

Kevin is the most likely candidate.

"May, do you mean I killed Elysia?"

Kevin was dumbfounded.

"I didn't say that. It's also possible that Elysia went to her death willingly."

Mei withdrew her gaze.
