Would the god of Yae Village want to eat breadsticks? / The long-sealed story of Yae Village is slowly being revealed...

Amid her delight, the cute and charming Fairy Miss also made a guess:

"I think~ this story will definitely end with these two girls joining forces under Kiana-chan's help to defeat the evil thing, then living happily ever after~"

It had to be said, the ending Elysia envisioned truly was as beautiful as a fairy tale.

And besides...

Had she, like Otto, read the script? Why had she guessed the plot of Sakura Samsara's third cycle?

Watching that pink comment float past in all its glory, Beichen could not help sighing that she was as pink on the inside as she was on the outside.

She really did have a kind heart...

"This viewer's imagined ending is truly wonderful. I suppose this story will ultimately conclude in just such a way."

"I see, I'm beginning to understand... This side story is actually about a cycle that repeats endlessly until it finally achieves a predetermined goal, isn't it?"

The moment Beichen finished speaking, a green comment floated past...

And the person who had sent it was Archbishop Otto again?

Chapter 37: Would the God of Yae Village Want to Eat Breadsticks?

"I remember that before entering the stage, the game clearly stated that this storyline was called Sakura Samsara. This is the first cycle. Since it specifically calls it the first, that means there will be a second and third cycle."

Otto calmly and objectively analyzed the direction of the plot.

As his comment drifted past, the story on the screen had just reached the point where Yae Sakura, Kallen, and Kiana arrived in Yae Village to help the villagers.

Following the arrow on the map, Beichen reached the village and approached Kallen's NPC to begin a conversation.

Then, Kiana's and Yae Sakura's portraits appeared on the screen.

Yes, it was her. She said she saw a monster in the village at night.

Shrine Maiden...

The little girl's childish voice sounded exceptionally panicked. Perhaps because she was merely an ordinary supporting character, she did not even have a portrait on screen.

But that did not hinder everyone from watching the story.

After hearing the little girl call for her, Yae Sakura gently comforted her. Don't panic. Take your time and tell me what happened.

A monster came into the village. It's at the other end of the road.

There's no time to waste. I'll head over there first. Kallen, take her somewhere safe...

Mm, then Yae Sakura and I will clear out the monsters together.

But after the two of them finished speaking, the dialogue did not disappear.

Ha, in the end, I was still left behind...

From the line appearing in the dialogue box, it seemed Kallen had been left where she was.

As for Yae Sakura and Kiana, they had probably already set off to deal with the monster.

Big sister, are you Shrine Maiden's friend?

Friend... I suppose not...

Shrine Maiden has seemed very happy these past two days. She hasn't been this happy in a long time. Ever since Rin... ah, Shrine Maiden's little sister, went to be with the god...

Went to be with the god...?!

Big sister, Shrine Maiden won't be in danger, will she...

She won't! Once I get you somewhere safe, I'll go to her. As long as I'm there, no one can hurt her!

After Kallen made that promise, the story dialogue ended.

"Mr. Streamer, I don't really understand. What does 'went to be with the god' mean?"

Yae Village's story was very obscure, making it quite confusing for anyone seeing it for the first time.

Seele was a prime example. The conversation just now had left her utterly baffled, and she could not understand what these villagers were doing at all.

"You want to know what it means? Well... it might be a little cruel if I explain it. Are you sure?"

To Beichen, who had already read the script, Yae Village held no secrets.

"Um... is it something very scary?"

"Looks like my guess was right."

Before Beichen could answer, a rational and objective analytical comment appeared on the Live Stream screen.

The sender was Otto. Although this Archbishop who had lived long enough had not seen the game's script,

he had indirectly helped Kallen, allowing her to seal Yae Sakura with Judah.

So he naturally knew the basic setting of Yae Village.

"Yes, you guessed right."

Since Otto had stepped up to show off his knowledge of Yae Village, Beichen was naturally happy to let him have the spotlight. It saved him some effort, too.

Having received Beichen's confirmation, Otto began acting as the comment section's narrator.

"The price this village paid to the god in sacrifice was children. What an ignorant and insane act."

"What? Child... children?!"

Seele looked extremely alarmed at what the green comment had described.

No matter how slow she was, upon hearing the word "sacrifice," she should have understood the cruelty of the situation.

The other viewers found it equally difficult to accept.

"...Thankfully, it's only a game. Otherwise, just thinking that Sakura's little sister left her like that... I really would feel sad."

Elysia expressed the sorrow in her heart in a tactful tone. At that moment, she could only hope the game was merely realistic and vivid, rather than depicting something that had truly happened.

In comparison, Hua's reaction was rather... slow?

"So Yae Sakura's little sister Rin died while fighting monsters? I think that for a Valkyrie, such an outcome may be inevitable, but for an ordinary person... it's very unfair."

Her comment eased the oppressive atmosphere in the Live Stream somewhat.

Otto was astonished that there could be someone in the world so slow on the uptake, so he sent a comment in return. "Have you misunderstood something, viewer?"

"What? Wasn't it a sacrifice?"

"In a sense, it was a sacrifice, but do you think Yae Sakura's little sister had the ability to fight monsters at that time?"

"This... what do you mean?"

"How do you still not understand what sacrifice means? Let me put it in simpler terms. Suppose you are the so-called god of Yae Village, and you're hungry right now and want to eat breadsticks. Rin... is the breadstick you want to eat. So what would the villagers who worship you do?"

Because of the interaction in your Live Stream, Today's Performance Is Not Perfect was shocked. You received 740 Crystals!

Following Otto's explanation, Hua fell silent.

She did not send another comment questioning the details or expressing her thoughts.

Since there was no response, Otto did not explain further. He merely gave his own opinion on the plot.

"It can be predicted that the next development will be Yae Sakura becoming a Herrscher, after which she will be sealed by Kallen and Kiana together."

"Hey, viewer, aren't you afraid you'll get slapped in the face for making predictions like that?"

"Slapped in the face? Heh, I have ample confidence that everything will unfold exactly as I predicted. If you don't believe me, we can make a bet."

Tsk... Beichen had never thought this Bishop was as annoying and eager to pick fights as he was now.

Beichen thought it over carefully. Since Otto wanted to gamble so badly, he might as well play along.

Of course, what they bet on had to be his choice!

"Bring it on, boss~ Didn't you learn your lesson from the last two times? Fine, then I'll bet that Sakura Samsara won't end the way you think it will."

"Oh? Interesting. Then what do you intend to wager against me?"

Seeing Otto take the bait, Beichen immediately said, "I'll return the twenty thousand from before to you in full. Is that enough?"

"Heh, money means nothing to me. How about this? If I win, you'll have to answer one question for me."

"One... question? What if I don't know the answer?"

Of course, as he asked that, Beichen also thought of a rather serious question.

Why was Otto acting so strangely? Could he have already guessed that Beichen had read the script?

Chapter 38: The Sealed Story of Yae Village Was Slowly Being Unveiled...

Beichen said nothing, silently thinking to himself.

If it had been anyone else, perhaps he could still doubt it. But considering this person was Otto... he could basically be certain Otto suspected him.

With Otto's intelligence, there was no way he would not have considered it.

It really left Beichen speechless. Anyone Otto set his sights on... rarely got through it safely.

But thankfully, even if Otto had noticed him, it was certain that Otto knew nothing about him.

As long as he did not let Otto pry the truth out of him, there would be no problem.

"You needn't worry. I'll choose a question you know the answer to, and all you need to do is answer honestly."

The green comment floated across the screen once again...

Though comments could not display video, Beichen could practically see the punchable expression on the Bishop's face as he said those words.

"Heh, fine! Let's see whether this story really ends the way you predicted. Pay attention: it's this story. If you guess wrong, remember to send me donations."

"Fine."

After the string of exchanges between the comments and the streamer, the atmosphere in the Live Stream quickly became heated.

"Mr. Streamer, you're making another bet? Wow, can you win again this time?"

"Mm-hm~ I feel like the streamer must be an adorable boy, agreeing so easily. Hehe, I'm really curious who will lose this time."

"A prediction about a good or bad ending? A wager like this must test both thinking ability and luck."

Watching the comments float past one after another, Beichen tapped the screen and resumed the story.

Guided by the mission prompt, he followed the arrow up the stairs.

Not long after he went up, minor monsters emerged from the ground.

Beichen casually tapped basic attacks a few times and disposed of the monsters, ending this section of combat.

Then he followed the arrow on the ground to Kallen's NPC and tapped to speak with her.

Kiana's, Kallen's, and Yae Sakura's dialogue boxes immediately appeared on the screen.

These monsters have obviously been affected by Honkai energy. What exactly is going on?

Kiana muttered softly, finally noticing that something was wrong.

They're finally dealt with.

Kallen had clearly not heard her muttering and merely spoke with relief.

Then Kiana's portrait switched to Yae Sakura's.

How could this be? It hasn't been long since the last festival...

Yae Sakura, that little girl said your sister "went to be with the god." What does that mean?

Faced with Kallen's question, Yae Sakura revealed the truth.

My little sister, Yae Rin, is dead. Four years ago... she died for this village.

Died for the village?
