"Get some rest, don't rush, I'm still waiting to see more of Elysia's embarrassing past."

"Snort!"

Seeing Gwen's mocking smile, Elysia puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away, refusing to look at Gwen anymore.

Seeing this, Gwen didn't mind, and sat down beside him with a smile, taking Elysia's hand. An invisible force quietly flowed through her, dispelling all her fatigue and discomfort.

When Elysia noticed the changes in herself, she was somewhat surprised, but not at all.

After standing up and moving around a bit, I realized that my body had truly recovered completely, and a bright smile immediately appeared on my face again.

"Now that we're ready, let's set off."

"Good."

Gwen nodded, somewhat Elysia planned to lead him inside—

The two of them just circled around here more than a dozen times.

"Gwen, look, that Ferris wheel."

Elysia pointed to a Ferris wheel not far away—

"I really wanted to ride it when I was a kid, but unfortunately I never had the chance."

"..."

Gwen glanced thoughtfully at the Ferris wheel, then smiled—

"Since we didn't have the chance back then, let's make up for it now."

Come on, I'll pay for the tickets..."

Although he didn't think Elysia would miss the chance to ride the Ferris wheel later, Gwen couldn't pretend he hadn't heard the girl say that.

Pushing open the rusty iron gate, the two entered the somewhat dilapidated amusement park. Although it lacked maintenance, the flowers and vines had a unique charm.

The only problem is... isn't it a bit too high?

Gwen looked at Elysia, expressing his doubt with his eyes.

"Hehe, after all, I was just a kid back then, so it's understandable that I thought these things were too advanced..."

Elysia tapped her index fingers together lightly against her chest, a polite but embarrassed smile on her pretty face.

"Let's go, today I'll take you through the maze."

Gwen smiled, took her hand, and led her into the maze before them.

After turning left and right, going around in circles, it took the two of them quite a while to finally get through the maze and arrive at the outskirts of the amusement park, which looked like a fairy tale wonderland.

"I didn't expect you to think that maze was so difficult, Elysia."

Gwen looked at the market ahead, which wasn't crowded but seemed peaceful and harmonious, and chuckled, teasingly remarking—

"Won't there be really delicious ice cream at the market that you just can't afford?"

Even without any special abilities, it would take him half an hour to find his way out, given his Remembrance. This shows just how exaggeratedly powerful Elysia's childhood memories are to this map.

"Well..."

Elysia gently stroked her cheek with her free hand, avoiding Gwen's gaze; her meaning was clear.

"Ha ha...

"Let me see what the most delicious ice cream tastes like in Elysia's Remembrance..."

Gwen smiled and pulled Elysia toward the busiest stall in the market.

Gwen pulled her into the crowd, Elysia trailing half a step behind him. The curve of her lips grew even more captivating, but her bright eyes revealed a hint of inexplicable emotion without her even realizing it...

Chapter 809 Riding the Ferris Wheel with Elysia

Passing through the bustling market, over the beautiful sky garden, and strolling along the seaside plaza in the cool sea breeze, they entered the entrance leading to the new world. At the end of the Reflection Plaza, illuminated by dazzling pillars of light, Gwen and Elysia finally arrived at the foot of the towering Ferris wheel.

"What a fairytale-like journey..."

Looking at the Ferris wheel so close by, Gwen stretched and sighed slightly.

For someone with his physical condition to feel tired is truly... unbelievable...

"Hmm~~"

Elysia tilted her head slightly, a strand of hair brushing against her fair cheek, making her look exceptionally playful and adorable.

"That's why childhood is the age when a person's imagination is at its peak..."

"But in my opinion, Elysia isn't someone who's limited by age alone."

Gwen, however, raised his index finger and shook it gently, smiling as he spoke to Elysia with a surprised look in his eyes.

"Elysia has no limits when it comes to her imagination when it comes to cuteness."

"Hehe, I'll accept this compliment without hesitation."

Elysia accepted the compliment, hands on her hips and chest puffed out.

But the next moment, Gwen's words made her expression freeze—

"After all, in my eyes, Elysia will always be a child who never grows up."

"..."

Instantly, Elysia puffed out her cheeks, staring resentfully at Gwen, occasionally revealing her white teeth, as if she were sizing up where on Gwen's body it would be easier to bite.

"After all, cuteness goes better with children."

Gwen added with a smile.

"Hmph~~"

In the blink of an eye, Elysia was humming an unknown tune, her eyes completely devoid of the ferocity she had shown moments before.

"Well then, lovely Miss Elysia, may I invite you to ride the Ferris wheel together?"

Gwen smiled and asked in a gentle voice.

"Of course..."

Elysia smiled radiantly as Gwen took her hand and they walked briskly into the Ferris wheel.

The machine slowly started operating, and the carriage slowly rose. Soon, the two of them were able to take in the entire Elysian Realm from their elevated position.

"How about it?

Isn't it beautiful?

Elysia gathered her skirt, brought her legs together, leaned to one side, and looked out the window at the breathtaking scenery bathed in sunlight.

"Well, I can't go against my conscience and say it's not pretty, no matter what."

Gwen shifted his gaze from the girl's pretty face, which was filled with longing, and said with a smile.

"Oh...

"I'll consider you passed..."

Elysia smiled, glanced at him, and then her gaze returned to the scenery below—

"Gwen..."

"Um?"

Gwen sensed something unusual in Elysia's tone, but still didn't respond.

Elysia didn't seem to care, she just stared blankly at the scenery below, and asked softly—

Have you ever ridden a Ferris wheel with another version of yourself?

"Certainly."

Gwen's eyes were full of smiles—

"I've already been to the Ferris wheel, the movie theater, and the aquarium—the three most popular dating spots."

Holding hands, embracing, and then somewhere out of sight of others...

"Click!"

Elysia crossed her arms in front of her chest, making a big "X" shape, her pretty face puffed out, glaring angrily at Gwen—

"You're not allowed to say things like that in front of girls."

"Of course, it's limited to kissing only, with no other restricted content."

Gwen raised his hands in surrender, his face full of innocence, and said...

"At least so far, I'm not so perverted as to like showing off."

That kind of thing is still too terrible.

"Just a little?"

Elysia looked at her with suspicion.

"Unforgivable!"

"Gwen said sincerely."

"Um..."

Elysia nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"Friendly reminder: mentioning another pretty girl in front of a pretty girl isn't a wise move, okay?"

"Even if that person is Elysia?"

Gwen asked tentatively.

"Um?"

Elysia raised an eyebrow.

I'll shut up—

Gwen drew a line across his lips with his finger, indicating that he had surrendered and was begging for mercy.

"Um..."

Elysia finally nodded in satisfaction, leaned back, and turned her gaze back down—

"Gwen, what is the most beautiful view you have ever seen?"

"The most beautiful scenery..."

"Of course, it's the smiles on your faces."

Gwen said matter-of-factly.

"Um...

This answer deserves 99 points!

Elysia smiled, revealing her teeth.

"However, the scenery is the problem, so taking shortcuts won't work!"

"That's really strict..."

Gwen leaned against the side and began to recount his experiences over the past few days—

The destruction of the Black Gloves' space pirate fleet, the white feathers falling from the Halovian's former territory, the Lord of Thunder's final glory, the final annihilation of a universe, and the ultimate rest of the Sea Ranger...

Gwen didn't say much, but he always managed to vividly express the beauty and awe of these landscapes.

"Um...

These are all scenes that make you yearn for them just by thinking about them~~

Elysia's eyebrows softened even more, and even just from words, she could imagine how breathtaking the scene must be.

However, Elysia did not forget her real problem—

"That...

Which scene left the deepest impression on you?

"The most memorable one..."
