Chapter 172

"Because Mei hasn't said the wake-up word yet, she's still in sleep mode."

"Wake word?"

Raiden Mei suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Chapter 280 Flame-Chasers's Funeral

["Uh-huh."

Elysia smiled smugly, having succeeded in her scheme, and wrote something in the blank space of a file.

Raiden Mei took the paper and stared wide-eyed.

"..."

After a long silence, Raiden Mei was wondering whether this was real or if Elysia was just fooling her.

However, upon closer reflection, if it was a doll created by Elysia, then she set this activation password with the intention of playing a prank.

So the password is real!

"Oh my, Mei's shy and embarrassed expression is so cute! Just so you know, there's only one way to start this."

Elysia delivered another blow.

Can I not start it?

"That would be Mei's freedom, but... the truth is so close, are we really going to let her leave like this?"

Elysia smiled gently.

"Kiss... kiss..."

"Hmm, what did you say?"

"..."

Raiden Mei's breathing became heavy. She wanted to just give up, but the truth right in front of her forced her to submit.

"My dear... Elysia."

Raiden Mei uttered those words in a very soft voice.

"What's going on? There's no response at all?"

"Oh dear, what happened? I think your voice was too soft; she probably didn't hear you."

Elysia laughed, "Now we'll have to do it again!"

"..."

Raiden Mei clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

"My dearest Alicia!"

The program has started, system calibration is complete, and personality loading is complete.

The Fairy Elysia, lying on the ground, opened her eyes.

Raiden Mei: "Elysia, is it fun playing these little tricks?"

Elysia: "Eh? This isn't some trick, it's a beautiful girl's magic, Mei. You used magic to awaken Elysia, didn't you?"

Kiana: "Tsk."

The Himeko shattered with a soft crack, but its emotions had already calmed down, no longer as fiery as before.

Or rather, her mood improved considerably when she learned that Raiden Mei's words were not directed at Elysia, but at the Fairy Elysia.

What, does Kiana think she'd be jealous of a doll?

Besides, that doll is really cute; you could totally raise it like a daughter!

Thinking about it this way, Kiana suddenly felt enlightened, and even had the terrifying idea of raising a Fairy Elysia together with Raiden Mei.

The clouds have parted, revealing the clear blue sky!

Kiana: "Elysia, you said you have thirteen dolls in total, right?"

Elysia: "Hmm."

Kiana: "Could you spare one for me? I promise I'll raise Elysia to be plump and healthy!"

Elysia: "Hmm... I'd like to say yes, but unfortunately, being in the Death Space, I basically have no belongings."

Pardofelis: "Is that so? I was actually thinking of getting one."

Raiden Mei: "Pardo, didn't you reject it in the first place?"

Pardofelis: "That's different. Life was tough before, how could I afford to keep another doll? Now I'm just bored all day, so having a doll and Canned Food for company is good too."

Canned Food: "Meow!!!"

The Canned Food seemed to have a strong opinion about this matter and did not agree with Pardofelis's proposal.

[In the scene, the Fairy Elysia opens her eyes, and her voice has the same sound as Elysia's.]

"Hello, lovely human! I am Fairy Elysia from the Realm of Fairy Bliss, and I have come here to meet you, the one who is so important to me."

"Uh... hello, Fairy Elysia, my name is Raiden Mei."

Raiden Mei greeted her politely.

"You're the administrator of this archives, right? Then you should know how to start this typewriter."

"Oh dear, what impatient humans! They haven't even finished their greetings before ordering around a delicate fairy?"

Weak?

Raiden Mei frowned and glanced at Elysia standing beside her.

"I can't do anything with you. What can I do? I'm such a gentle and kind fairy. Let me introduce you to this [Elysian Realm Information Database Data Acquisition Control Console Interaction... uh."

Fairy Elysia, suddenly stopped speaking.

"Anyway, let me introduce this typewriter to you!"

It can retrieve some information stored in the Elysian Realm and automatically print out recent major events.

Fairy Elysia demonstrated it to Raiden Mei, and then Raiden Mei copied her and typed out her question.

"Please tell me the truth about the Thirteenth Herrscher."

The typewriter started up and roared for a while, but only produced a blank sheet of paper.

"Hmm... this kind of general question cannot be summarized by just one or a few files in the memory bank."

"..."

Raiden Mei understood what Fairy Elysia meant; if she were to answer this kind of question, she would probably have to recount the entirety of Elysia's life.

Therefore, she decided to start by reading through Elysia's past.

The video ends here.

Elysia: "Mei, you're such an impatient girl. Are you already trying to find out everything about me? I'll be embarrassed."

Raiden Mei: "No, if you could simplify things, it wouldn't have to be this complicated."

The entire Previous Era Elysian Realm is like a maze, filled with all sorts of traps and mysteries.

Like a dark forest shrouded in mist at night.

Most importantly, you Flame-Chasers are all riddle solvers!

Theresa: "After going around in circles, the only useful clue we have now is a Thirteenth Herrscher. Can't you just be clear about things?"

Himeko Murata: "The selection of Flame-Chasers Executives... could it be a selection of detectives?"

Kevin: "..."

Elysia: "Ahem, you can look on the bright side. At least in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, Mei is perfectly safe!"

Raiden Mei: "Safe?"

Having faced off against Mobius and even fought a head-on battle against Chakravartin, Raiden Mei felt completely unsafe.

Elysia: "Don't panic, Mei. With me, the cutest fairy, protecting you, you'll definitely get through this trial safely."

Pardofelis: "That's right, Sister Mei, we've already arrived at the Elysian Realm. That's Sister Elysia's territory. With her there, who can hurt you?"

Raiden Mei: "That makes sense."

Anyway, with a powerful figure protecting me, I can just follow Elysia's lead if I encounter any problems.

[Q&A begins.]

[During the funeral of the Flame-Chasers, whose was the first Flame-Chasers's death news that Raiden Mei received in the Elysian Realm?]

[A: Pardofelis.]

[B: Kevin.]

[C: Elysia.]

[D: Chakravartin.]

Elysia: "?!!"

The sudden question caught everyone off guard, like a bolt from the blue striking them.

Raiden Mei: "Weren't the Flame-Chasers of the Elysian Realm just Memory Body? How could they die?"

Chapter 281 The Harmonious Flame-Chasers

They had already reached the Elysian Realm, and were close to the so-called truth, but unexpectedly, this happened, and one of them died.

If it weren't for the equally bewildered expressions on Elysia and the others' faces, Raiden Mei would have suspected that the Flame-Chasers were up to something again to fool her.

Bronya: "Memory Body is data stored in the Previous Era Elysian Realm, so why can Memory Body die?"

Kiana: "Kevin, Gray Serpent, did you guys erase the data about the Previous Era Elysian Realm while you were out there?"

Kevin: "... No."

Gray Serpent: "Previous Era Elysian Realm is an important and sacred place, a trial ground for the World Serpent's executives, and not something that can be easily changed."

In other words, it wasn't the two of them who did it.

Theresa: "Is it possible to erase the data from within the Previous Era Elysian Realm?"

Su: "Hmm... that's possible. Ultimately, you can think of the Previous Era Elysian Realm as a closed, large database. It's not impossible that the corruption of the internal data led to Flame-Chasers's death."

Su: "But if we do that..."

Su stopped mid-sentence, not wanting to continue, and simply widened her eyes slightly.

Few people can do this, let alone within Memory Body. Mobius, Vill-V... and even Su himself, all of them have the ability to target Elysian Realm.

But one thing is certain.

Raiden Mei doesn't have the ability to kill Flame-Chasers unilaterally, so we can first rule out Mei as a suspect and throw her out of this mess.

The realm of the Previous Era Elysian Realm is a closed space, meaning this is yet another internal struggle among Flame-Chasers.

The atmosphere in the Chat Group quieted down again, becoming eerily silent.

Elysia: "Um, how about... we chat for a bit or something?"

Kevin: "Elysia, you should understand what this means?"

Sakura: "Kevin, I think we should..."

Mobius: "Heh, what else could it mean? It's just that we've always had a very close relationship. Sakura, or did you never even consider drawing your sword? Hahaha."

Cherry. "..."

Mobius's words silenced Sakura. She couldn't deny that her weapons would be pointed at her comrades, sinners, and traitors.

Once, she wielded a knife to purge traitors.

Chakravartin: "It's starting again? Aren't we already used to this boring and ridiculous farce?"

Apponia: "Chakravartin."
