Memory

As for Xiao Xi, she and March 7th squinted at the absurd scene before them. Even when faced with a genuine Aeon, they couldn't help but feel the urge to roast them; regardless of anything else, wasn't the person opposite them being a bit too dramatic?

Aha cried for a long time, but seeing that no one paid him any mind, he switched back to a smiling face and enthusiastically crowded over.

"Xiao Xi-xi and Little March won't talk to me, Aha really has no face..."

That's not it! With this kind of performance, it's just really hard for us to revere you as an Aeon!

"Aha is unhappy, so Aha wants to find some fun! What kind of fun should I find... Haha, then let's take a look at this. I guarantee this will be very interesting."

A Light Cone suddenly appeared in the starry sky. It shattered, transformed into a speck of light, and flew toward Xiao Xi at an extreme speed.

"Ugh, what is this!" Scenes of unfamiliar memories played in Xiao Xi's mind, and these memories were none other than the images of when the Aeon of Hope separated her from itself.

All of this had once been recorded in a Light Cone by Fuli, the Aeon of Remembrance, and for some unknown reason, it had been obtained by Aha, the Aeon of Elation, and was now being completely unveiled here.

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, how are you? Don't scare me." March 7th's worried voice drifted in and out of her ears, sounding indistinct, while Xiao Xi only felt as if her head were splitting apart.

March 7th supported Xiao Xi, calling her name in a panic. Seeing that it had no effect, she turned to the culprit and shouted, "Hey! What exactly did you do to Xiao Xi? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're an Aeon. Hurry up and restore Xiao Xi to normal!"

"Heeheehee, I didn't do anything. This is a gift from Aha to a new friend. After all, Preservation is a dullard, The Hunt has no sense of humor, and only Hope is left to provide some amusement. Aha is here to bestow Elation upon all living things, after all. Humanity and divinity—to think there is actually an Aeon obsessed with such things, hahahaha!"

"You... what kind of nonsense are you spouting? What humanity and divinity? The point right now is for you to hurry up and restore Xiao Xi!" March 7th only half-understood, and eventually, she just gave up on trying.

"No, March, in a way, what He said is not wrong." Xiao Xi gently tapped March 7th's shoulder, her voice sounding somewhat weak.

"Xiao Xi, thank goodness, you're okay! But your voice sounds so weak. Do you want to go rest for a bit?" March 7th didn't let go of the hand supporting Xiao Xi, asking with concern.

"I'm fine, March. This is just a small side effect, not a big problem. It's just that I... I suddenly learned too many things." Xiao Xi said quietly, her eyes slightly closed.

"How is it, how is it? How does it feel to know the truth, [Hope], Xiao Xi-xi, you..." The red mask had crowded over again before they knew it.

"You, stop right there. [Elation], you still have such a twisted sense of humor. Is teasing people really that funny..." Xiao Xi said with a sense of helplessness.

"If you're asking about how it feels, you definitely wouldn't want to hear those life realizations."

To have unhesitatingly become the "me" of today, every word, every person, and every time I opened my eyes in the past served as the foundation for my current steps. Those who face themselves are, therefore, brave.

"In any case, you can go show off this 'fun' among the other Aeons from now on. How about that? Isn't it a great piece of entertainment?"

"Mm-hmm... [Hope] is right. Heehee, I really didn't misjudge you; you really do understand me... Heehee, let's leave it at that for today. Fun is only interesting when you savor it slowly, right?"
