Chapter 591
Otto's meaning is very simple.
Centuries later, even if someone remembers the story of the Flame-Chasers, it will eventually become just a topic of conversation after dinner, or a past that is unattainable in myths and legends.
"Yes, people will remember."
Yaqing stared blankly at the big screen, then burst out laughing.
"Didn't we memorize them all?"
Otto was taken aback, then pointed at Yaqing, smiled, and said nothing.
The farewells and expectations of the Flame-Chasers.
In the end, it all came back to Elysia.
She was the first person Mei met after entering Elysian Realm, and the last person she met after leaving Elysian Realm.
Elysia is always like this, both the beginning and the end of everything.
"So this time... we really have to say goodbye."
A few tears welled up in Elysia's beautiful eyes.
"Thank you, Mei. Thank you for coming here, for meeting us, for talking to us, and for remembering our names and listening to our stories."
"As long as Mei remembers us, this story will never disappear. Only humans would think this way, and only humans would turn such a belief into reality."
In the end, Elysia bestowed her True Self name upon Mei, and upon humanity of the new era. This name embodies the origin of all things and the longing and blessings of Flame-Chasers.
One day, it will become Mei's new strength. And Mei will give this name a brand new meaning.
"We will remain in the past and move towards the future. Then, let your flawless and beautiful radiance shine forth."
"After all..."
Elysia smiled gently and flawlessly.
"Beautiful girls can do anything!"
Mei, however, still refused to leave.
"The Elysian Realm should not end here; it should be sung about by the world. Perhaps that is why Yaqing wrote such a legendary and wonderful story."
Eden murmured to himself.
In the original story, only Mei witnessed the experiences and stories of the Flame-Chasers. But now, it's different. Countless viewers have witnessed their stories from a god-like perspective, and they will remember them forever.
"That was awesome! So awesome!"
Little Knowledge excitedly slapped his thigh hard.
Fu Hua frowned deeply.
And not far to the Far East is St. Freya Academy.
Himeko let out a slightly tipsy hiccup.
"I've said it before, with Mei's personality, she's better suited to stay at the academy as a teacher. She's simply not cut out for the workplace. If she were still at the academy, she could probably have taken over my job by now, and I..."
Himeko drunkenly complained.
Mei becomes a teacher...
It seems someone has something to say.
Seeing that Mei was still unwilling to leave, Elysia's gentle voice rang out once again.
"Oh dear, what's wrong! If we don't leave now... we'll really be too late!"
Hearing Elysia's gentle voice, everyone who witnessed this scene felt a jolt in their hearts, a sense of déjà vu washing over them.
It's as if I've seen the same scene when the Burning Flames Forever.
Kiana was unwilling to leave, and neither was Mei.
They could almost see the screenwriter placing a sharpened knife in front of them, just waiting for them to put it down.
"Don't want..."
Although Elysia is smiling in the story, Elysia in reality is already sobbing uncontrollably.
The others didn't understand why she said no, and they hoped the story would stop unfolding and that Mei wouldn't leave.
Mei couldn't help but shake her head.
She finally understood why Yaqing had run away.
If it were just a replica of Himeko's chocolate gate, Yaqing wouldn't have run away. But the problem is that the person being replicated is Elysia, the only Elysia who can protect him from everyone's clutches.
It would be a miracle if Yaqing didn't run away.
"Okay... I know you're really going to miss me, right? Of course I feel the same way. But it's okay, haven't you already taken all of me on your shoulders?"
"Oh, are you thinking... that if you keep doing this, you can keep talking to me? That's not good, you know. If you keep teasing a girl like this, I might really cry."
The same large knife used in the Chocolate Gate incident.
They were truly afraid that in the end, all they would hear was, "Elysia is gazing at you tenderly," and then nothing more.
Last time it broke many people's defenses, this time...
Reluctance to part and separation always bring pain.
Pardo's eyes were filled with tears.
Although this time it's just a farewell, not going offline.
It still caused them immense pain.
"Say a few more words..."
Pardo felt the same way as the Chocolate Gate.
That is, we hope that Elysia and Mei can say a few more words to the audience, even if it's just a few words.
"Eden ..."
Elysia cried and hugged Eden, tears falling like rain.
Eden gently stroked Elysia's back.
"... Okay, that's fine. If you don't want to move forward, just stop for a while. Then, look around you, look behind you..."
"Look..."
The white light slowly faded, and what appeared on the screen was the Flame-Chasers standing on the steps, bathed in the twilight.
Looking at Mei, he was also looking at the audience.
"Exactly the same as before, isn't it?"
I completely broke down in tears.
Pardo could no longer control her emotions.
The scene was absolutely stunning, but the sadness it brought to the audience was no less than that of the Chocolate Gate incident.
They had witnessed the heroic sacrifices of the Flame-Chasers, so when they saw all thirteen heroes of the Fire Chaser present, the emotion and sorrow in their hearts were beyond measure.
The Burning Flames Forever, and they are moved by Himeko and Kiana.
In the Elysian Realm, they were moved by the Flame-Chasers and Mei.
"This scene is too unfair..."
Even Sakura, who considered herself a ghost, couldn't help but shed tears.
"It's so romantic..."
Eden gently held Elysia was sobbing uncontrollably, in his arms.
They did not disappear; they live on forever in Mei's memory.
Eden planned to quietly capture this image and frame it as a work of art above her bed.
There are many photos on Eden's bedside table, including group photos of everyone, including photos of Elysia, as well as many photos of them playing around, and quite a few original drawings that Honkai.
It can be said that when this scene appears, even the most hard-hearted person will feel moved.
"Brother Jie, what are you thinking?"
Little Knowledge's eyes reddened, and she asked curiously.
Because of the sunglasses and mask on Kalpas's face, it was impossible to see his expression.
"Hmph, boring. I won't shed a single tear because of these fake storylines."
Kalpas snorted coldly.
Little Knowledge looked on with suspicion. If she hadn't misheard, Kalpas's voice seemed to have become somewhat...
"What a wonderful story, and what a romantic ending."
Tears welled up in Su's narrowed eyes.
"Indeed, I have to admire Yaqing's ability as a screenwriter."
Kevin wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He is not Kevin from the story, and there is no situation where his tears turn into ice crystals.
Knives aren't scary. When Honkai 3rd became a global phenomenon, many copycat products claiming to be knives appeared on the market, but they were all weak and seemed to be knives for the sake of knives.
Honkai is different; the knife strikes very naturally.
It makes it impossible for anyone to avoid.
One second you might be eating candy, and the next you might be getting cut.
Or perhaps sugar and a knife together.
"So please don't forget—the story recorded in the Elysian Realm is just this simple."
Elysia's gentle and sweet voice rang in everyone's ears.
"This story contains pain and failure, betrayal and separation, but it also contains happiness and joy, tenderness and emotion. Sadness will not disappear into thin air, but warm feelings will be treasured in our hearts forever."
"What should be passed down to future generations should not only be hatred and mission. Only by experiencing the glory of this era can future generations understand the meaning of our fight."
"Let textbooks teach cold, hard knowledge and techniques. What Flame-Chasers should inherit is the glory of being Flame-Chasers. The reason for fighting is the ultimate entrustment of our souls on this journey of chasing fire."
"And you who come after us will witness the footprints of our lives and the Signets our souls, and find the answers you seek within them."
Elysia used the fewest words to explain the meaning of the existence of the Elysian Realm, and also bid a final farewell to the audience and Mei.
"Countless paths intertwine and intertwine, giving birth to the miracle of a hundred flowers blooming. This is the beauty of eternity, the True Self that I believe in."
At Elysia's voice, everyone's vision blurred.
"This is the story of the Flame-Chasers to the Elysian Realm."
"And so, our story ends. And from this day forward..."
"That's your story."
This is the final farewell.
Its destructive power is in no way inferior to "Himeko gazes at you tenderly, saying nothing more."
"Ah...!!!! I'm going to kill the screenwriter! I'm going to kill the screenwriter!"
Sirin didn't care whether it was a live broadcast or not. She had already broken down and was terrified. If the screenwriter were right in front of her, she would have no doubt that she would have picked up the knife without the slightest hesitation.
"Hehehehehe..."
Bella glanced cautiously at the laughing Sirin.
He wondered if his Queen had been stabbed in the head and if he should take her to the hospital to see a psychiatrist.
Even though the Honkai was written by Yaqing should be responsible for reimbursing the medical expenses.
"Thank you, I will never forget."
In the pure white world, Mei made a vow, and she will remember this moment forever.
