The Girl's Game, the Flame-Chasers' Dance. (Continued)
"No, no, no..."
Pardo shook her head like a rattle-drum.
The second person to arrive at the banquet was Aponia. She wasn't wearing a veil and was dressed in a very formal gown. She was so beautiful that even Elysia almost didn't recognize her.
In their final moments, Aponia was willing to accompany Elysia to do anything she wanted.
So Elysia dragged Aponia into a shooting game called "Girl".
The third person to arrive in full regalia was Eden. The roller coaster track suddenly appeared from top to bottom, and Mei and Elysia boarded the roller coaster, which had no seats, no safety ropes, and could only be used while standing.
Elysia also told Mei that they weren't riding a roller coaster back then.
The audience knows exactly what it is.
As mentioned in the previous storyline about the Elysian Realm, Eden transformed into a giant whale that roamed the starry sea to comfort the heartbroken Elysia. At that time, they were all shocked, since Artificial Collapse was extremely dangerous in their eyes.
The camera then shifts to Mei's first-person perspective, creating a unique sense of immersion.
Fireworks were in full bloom, and the beautiful Elysia was right beside me, making it feel like I was on a date.
As the roller coaster sped through one bend after another, Mei couldn't help but look at Elysia.
Elysia's face was full of smiles.
"I really love fireworks. They give it their all, just for that final, brilliant moment—how beautiful!"
"Fireworks fade, but Elysia lives on."
Eden took a sip of red wine and put down his wine glass.
"Eden, that's a bit unfair. I'm not some superhero, how could I possibly live forever?"
Elysia covered her face.
The girl's blush said it all.
Eden smiled.
"It's so romantic, just like a date."
Sakura couldn't help but sigh.
"A date? Kiana is in Anti-Entropy..."
Little Knowledge Shi clicked her tongue. She felt a little sorry for Kiana. Usually, Kiana was the one flirting with others, like Mei and Fu Hua. Now, someone was flirting with the woman next to Kiana.
"Kialana."
Little Knowledge sighed.
"Little Knowledge, did you say something wrong? Shouldn't it be Kiana?"
Fu Hua was puzzled.
"Old-fashioned, old-fashioned, you can't blame me for calling you old-fashioned. You don't know how to be flexible at all. You're all green now, aren't you just Kialana?"
Little Knowledge patted Fu Hua on the shoulder.
Fu Hua was speechless.
It turns out that the green in this context refers to the green of a green hat.
"I'm going to give Mei a surprise next, so watch carefully!"
Elysia stretched out her hand, and incredibly colorful fireworks exploded in the sky above the amusement park, leaving everyone in awe.
As I said before, Schicksal has never lacked funding for special effects.
"The closing fireworks must be big and spectacular! And our ball... it's time to officially begin."
The two stepped off the roller coaster and strolled slowly towards the center of the banquet, a dazzling, fairytale-like place adorned with pink accents.
"Wow!"
Elysia's pupils were filled with the reflection of fireworks.
"I really want to go to the amusement park again!"
Elysia's eyes were curved in a smile.
She certainly didn't want to go to the amusement park because she wanted to, but because she wanted to go with everyone.
"Okay, after Yaqing comes back, we'll go to the amusement park together on the weekend a week from now."
Eden's face was full of doting affection.
If Elysia were to say she wanted her own amusement park, Eden would buy up every amusement park around Changkong City.
Why wait a week?
Vill-V was puzzled.
"Heh, that's obviously to give him time to recover."
Kalpas sneered.
"Well..."
Even with all eight personalities of Vill-V, her CPU burned out at this moment.
"By the way, Mei, let's go ride the roller coaster together sometime."
Elysia suddenly said.
Mei was taken aback by his words, then replied with a half-smile.
"Elysia, are you using me as a substitute for Mei?"
"How could that be? In my eyes, everyone is unique. It's just... I just wanted to ride a roller coaster."
Elysia showed no remorse, her intense gaze fixed on Mei.
Eden and Kevin both felt a chill run down their spines.
Eden was someone Elysia would usually hold onto when riding roller coasters or similar things.
Kevin, on the other hand... had a strange feeling that Elysia's target had already set her sights on Mei.
"To be honest, it was a very romantic date, but it felt like something was missing?"
Pardo scratched her head.
"Weren't there four people attending that the Last Banquet? Why wasn't Boss Kevin there? Logically, he should have been with Sister Elysia too..."
Pardo was afraid that continuing would be mortally dangerous—not that her life was in danger, but rather...
Pardo's words were clear: that was why Kevin hadn't participated in the "Girl's Game" with Elysia.
Kevin's eyes widened immediately.
Pardo, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how dare you harm me?!
Mei turned her head with a half-smile.
"Honey, do you have any strange feelings about not playing games with Elysia? Tell me, I won't be angry."
"How could this be?!"
Kevin almost screamed out in surprise.
If this answer isn't good, it won't just be kneeling on durians tonight, it'll be kneeling on a keyboard, and then typing "I love you forever" on the keyboard with your knees!
"I bet you wouldn't dare."
Mei gave a soft hum.
Kevin glared fiercely at the Kitty.
Pardo shuddered. The Kitty had told on her!
"Sister Mei, Boss Kevin is glaring at us!"
"Um..."
Noticing Mei's gaze, Kevin shivered and scratched his head awkwardly.
"No, no, no."
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Kiana's feelings were something that others were experiencing but had absolutely nothing to do with her.
Kiana suddenly patted her head for no apparent reason.
Kiana, what are you doing?
Mei looked at Kiana, who was limp in her arms, with a puzzled expression.
"It's all Bronya's fault, she keeps calling me Kialana."
Kiana pouted.
Her feelings were extremely complicated. If it were anyone else, like Raven, Mei with her, Mei would have exploded like a powder keg. But the problem was, this woman was Elysia ...
No one could dislike Elysia.
Kiana felt like she was that incompetent husband at that moment.
"???"
Bronya was very confused. She hadn't said a word, so how did the war spread to her?
"Well."
Kiana sighed.
What kind of mess is this?
The girl she likes is flirting with her girlfriend, that's infuriating.
No, this is a story! It's not reality...
"It's all that stinky uncle's fault!"
Kiana never wastes her energy internally.
The last person to arrive was Kevin, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Elysia stood in the center with her arms outstretched and her eyes closed, as if recalling something. Suddenly, she turned around and reached out her hand to Mei.
"So, I reached out my hand to him like this."
The pink light flowed like petals falling in a gentle breeze.
"Just like the invitation I'm extending to Mei now."
"Could you please dance one last dance with me?"
Elysia's slender waist turned slightly, and the dazzling bow and arrow appeared in her hand.
In a sudden twist, Mei and Elysia actually started fighting.
They were almost caught off guard.
"Wait, why did they suddenly start fighting? And... is this dancing?!"
The people of Pardo were dumbfounded.
She was all smiles when she saw Elysia invite Mei to dance, but then a fight broke out and her smile froze on her face.
"Martial arts can also be considered dance!"
Elysia paused for a moment, then her smile widened.
The soft background music, the pink filter, the nimble footwork.
It doesn't look like a fight at all; it looks more like a couple flirting.
"So, at that banquet in the Previous Era, Kevin also fought Elysia, and it was just like this?"
Squinty eyes, always oozing with mischief.
Elysia was taken aback.
Mei only realized what was happening after being reminded.
Kevin nearly let out a sharp, explosive sound.
