Elysia's Mysterious Reward?

Seeing Seele's expression, Black Seele couldn't contain her anger and loudly questioned her.

"Now it's just the two of you and her."

What happens after we get back?

Do you know how many people are around him?

Will he even care about you then?

"But... I..."

Although she doesn't have any thoughts of vying for favor yet, Seele couldn't help but imagine it when Black Seele questioned her.

Then--

"Hmm..."

Feeling utterly lacking the courage to do anything, Seele sought support from the sidelines.

"When that time comes... could you..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Black Seele didn't even wait for Seele to finish speaking before rejecting her outright.

"It's you who likes him, not the other way around!"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I just..."

Upon hearing Black Seele's explicit words, Seele immediately panicked, her heart filled with shyness, and she wanted to distance herself from the situation.

However, the more Seele acted this way, the angrier Black Seele became—

"Okay, you said you don't like him, so don't get close to him anymore!"

"I..."

Seele, who could tell that Black Seele was angry, wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the furious Black Seele—

"I'm sleepy, don't bother me!"

"...

Okay, goodnight, my other self...

Realizing she hadn't done well, Seele could only shut up, softly saying goodnight before falling silent.

Seele's performance only fueled Black Seele's anger at her lack of ambition.

Black Seele was initially annoyed by Seele's pitiful appearance, who only knew how to wait for Gwen to care for her, and wanted to provoke her with words so that she would take the initiative and stop waiting in the same place.

But now it seems that this kind of stimulation is still not enough...

"Snort..."

Black Seele snorted inwardly and began to think about a suitable target...

In the Eigenworld, Gwen, unaware of the conversation between the two girls after he left, didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, after washing up, he took out the magnificent golden Crystal Flower—

"Um...

"Still awake so late? Do you want to have a late-night chat with me?"

Before Gwen could speak, the girl's voice, which always seemed to carry a smile, rang in Gwen's mind.

"Isn't that possible?"

Gwen, dressed in his pajamas, smiled.

"My sister Eden doesn't mind providing psychological counseling to confused young people who have reached a crossroads in their lives."

"Um...

"Gwen, are you facing some kind of life problem that you need my help with?"

Upon hearing this, Elysia's tone immediately became much more composed.

"Um...

To be precise, it should be, what do you want to know?

Hearing the suddenly composed voice in his mind, Gwen warmly, a hint of amusement in his words—

"I can sense that you have many questions for me, but you haven't asked them because I went there to see Seele and Valkyrie Quicksilver ..."

Right?

My dear Eden sister?

"Oh, you found out~"

Hearing Gwen's almost effusive words, Elysia dropped her pretense and replied with a grin.

"But who can Gwen is so attractive?"

Even I couldn't help but be drawn in!

"It's because your acting is so bad—"

While Eden may occasionally show her girlish side, it's not this frequent.

Upon hearing Gwen's smile became tinged with disdain.

"Um?

The Girl from Eden?

What is it like?

However, Elysia completely ignored Gwen's criticism of her terrible acting and focused all her attention on Eden.

"It's a pity that when I met her, she was already a world-renowned artist, so it was hard to see her girlish side."

In their previous attempts to probe each other, Gwen and Elysia were in a state of "I know you are not Eden," "I also know you know I am not Eden," and "I know you know I know you are not Eden," but they tacitly refrained from breaking through that barrier.

Therefore, now that Gwen has brought the topic to the forefront, neither of them hesitates.

"If you're curious about this, you can ask Sister Eden— "

Gwen did not give Elysia the answer she wanted, but instead pretended to be calm.

"I will tell her the truth about someone trying to dig up her past."

"Hehe, I believe my dear Eden won't blame me~?"

Despite Gwen's threat, Elysia remained unfazed and said with a grin.

"Gwyn, you'd better Gwen or I might prematurely expose your ulterior motives towards my Good Eden!"

"This is called a beautiful and virtuous woman, which a gentleman would pursue. How can it be called having ulterior motives?"

Gwen refuted Elysia righteously and launched a counterattack.

"Moreover, compared to what I've already stated, I think Sister Eden is more interested in counterfeit goods that use her name to swindle and deceive people."

You agree, right?

"My dearest Elysia?"

Chapter 268 Elysia's Mysterious Reward?

"No way~?"

In response to Gwen's seemingly joking threat, Elysia retorted with a smile.

"My dear Eden wouldn't be angry with me over something so trivial!"

"Hmm... given Eden's personality, she probably wouldn't care too much about someone impersonating her."

Gwen did not refute this, but simply smiled and said.

"Compared to the return of Miss Elysia, who abruptly ended her life without a word, impersonation is a trivial matter."

"..."

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Elysia fell silent—

Although Elysia had made up her mind to sacrifice herself to unite people's hearts, she resolutely faced the flaming sword in Kevin's hand.

However, upon returning to the mortal world and about to reunite with her former friends, Elysia, who had been reminded of something by Gwen, suddenly felt a deep connection with a certain master sparrow—

Although being brought back from the dead and reunited with friends is a very happy thing.

However, after delivering his heartfelt and impassioned last words and sacrificing himself, he reappeared before his friends...

Even with Elysia's level of social anxiety, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Especially since Elysia sacrificed herself at her birthday party without consulting anyone back then—

Elysia could almost foresee Eden's verbal and written criticism of her after waking up.

Although being able to hear these nagging words is a rare kind of happiness compared to permanent sleep.

However, being pointed out by Gwen still made Elysia feel embarrassed.

However, Elysia was Elysia after all, and she wasn't trapped in this unusual embarrassment. She changed the subject and asked Gwen:

"Speaking of which, from what you talked about with Mei and Kiana before, you seemed to know a lot about the Herrscher of the new era?"

"I know a little bit."

Gwen instantly understood what Elysia wanted to ask, smiled slightly, and said leisurely.

"Thanks to the sacrifice of a Human Herrscher who wishes to remain anonymous, the Herrscher of the new era are not directly controlled by the consciousness of destruction, but still have the hope of retaining their own consciousness and thoughts—"

The pure white soul born from the sacrifice of 300,000 people, despite encountering unfriendly treatment, ultimately still fought to protect humanity.

Welt Yang, who lives next door to me, is his successor.

Even though his own qualities cannot perfectly support the Herrscher Core, it does not prevent him from using that power, and he can even use the Herrscher Core to create his own body under extreme circumstances.

Born from pain and despair, the Second Herrscher was not immediately consumed by the desire for destruction after becoming Herrscher. Instead, she retained the simple idea of seeking fairness and justice. However, due to communication problems, she completely slid into the abyss...

"..."

Hearing Gwen recount the experiences of the Herrscher of this era again, Elysia's emotions stirred.

They were both happy that their sacrifices had not been in vain and saddened by their continued misfortune.

Although in the world Gwen observed, the current civilization was still destroyed by the Honkai, at least her sacrifice was not in vain, and there was at least a glimmer of hope.

Seeing that Elysia remained silent for a long time, Gwen continued to smile and ask.

"Moreover, in the future I foresee, there will be many more Herrscher, like Welt, stand on the side of humanity and fight to protect the continuation of civilization."

Regarding this development, what are your thoughts, Miss Elysia, who has made significant contributions to it?

"Um... my thoughts..."

Upon hearing this, Elysia finally emerged from her reverie, her sweet voice taking on a more serious tone, as if she were truly standing in front of a microphone being interviewed by a reporter.

"Thank you Mother Ceria; thank you everyone at the orphanage; thank you everyone I met on the journey; thank you Mobius; thank you..."

And of course, my good Eden too!

Like a long string of white clouds and black soil, Elysia recalled every memorable name she had encountered in her life, thanking them for allowing her to see the beauty and kindness of this world.

"Thank you to them for letting me see the beauty and kindness in this world, and for enabling me to stand firmly on the side of humanity."

As Gwen listened to the girl's monologue, which was read like an announcement, with names that were either vaguely familiar or completely unknown, occasionally interspersed with a few well-known ones, he did not interrupt. He was the only listener.

"Of course, afterwards, I also want to thank those kind people I didn't know, but who made this world a little more beautiful—"

It was their kindness that made Mr. Joyce willing to protect humanity.

I also hope that there will be fewer pitiful people in the world like Sirin, who had the opportunity to choose but ultimately slid into the abyss.

Of course, last but not least, I must thank our Gwen for giving me, a dead man, the opportunity to witness this scene firsthand—

I hope you can help those unfortunate people seize this hard-won opportunity, overcome the Honkai, and be themselves again.

Unusually, Elysia didn't use her usual lively tone; instead, she spoke in a gentle voice with a touch of solemnity and excitement as she shared her thoughts.

Even in his final expectations and requests of Gwen, this was the case.
