Chapter 275

The distance of an era is so vast; people worn down by Fifty Thousand Years have long since become unrecognizable.

The Flame-Chasers have begun to reunite, and the wave of resistance against the Honkai will return.

But Kevin, caught between two eras, where will you go from here?

[Q&A begins.]

[In the process of welcoming Elysia back, from what point in time should Raiden Mei begin to witness Elysia's life?]

[A: Starting from infancy.]

[B: Starting from the orphanage in the town of Vostok-51.]

[C: Starting with joining the Fire Moth.]

[D: Let's begin with Elysia's journey in search of the Elysian Realm.]

Raiden Mei: "To experience Elysia's life?"

Was the process really that complicated? Raiden Mei thought that Eden had handled the last step and the puzzle of welcoming back Elysia was complete.

I never imagined I'd have to go through such a long journey. What if the Herrscher of Corruption attacks right now?

Elysia: "Oh dear, to have to expose a girl's past like this, isn't that so embarrassing?"

Kiana: "I don't see anything embarrassing about you at all."

Elysia: "After all, I am so honest, and I have no shameful past experiences. Mei wants to know everything about me, so of course I welcome it."

Click...

Kiana unconsciously crushed the cup in her hand, furious.

Chapter 447 Elysian Realm Mei Development Project

Elysia's will is pure and noble, and Flame-Chasers's legend is great yet tragic. Kiana also holds Elysia in high esteem.

However, when it comes to Raiden Mei, Kiana declares that she will not yield an inch!

That pink fox is just too charming, and she's not even Memory Body from the Previous Era Elysian Realm. If Raiden Mei gets in touch with her for too long, who knows what might happen?!

Elysia: "But even I would feel embarrassed if everyone saw what I looked like before."

Bronya: "Are you already assuming that Sister Mei will start recalling from her childhood, or even earlier?"

Elysia: "Hmm, to revive the Memory Body, we need to reproduce all the Elysia recorded in the Elysian Realm."

A person's life is so long that even when we try to recall it, we can only find scattered fragments of our experiences, the most important memories of our lives.

The complete Elysia naturally includes her former appearance and childhood memories; only by reviewing these memories like a revolving lantern can one grasp the whole picture.

Perhaps it started in childhood, or perhaps even earlier.

Pardofelis: "So, does that mean we can see Sister Elysia as a child?"

Elysia was small, about the same height as Griseo.

Pardofelis thought of Sister Elysia's posture and wished she could hug her and bully her a bit.

Elysia: "This..."

Raiden Mei: "I suddenly became curious."

Theresa: "Count me in!"

Eden: "Elysia's once adorable appearance is certainly something that can pique other people's curiosity."

Elysia: "My dear Eden, how could you be like this too?"

Although Elysia enjoys being liked by everyone, and even loves holding the cute Little Griseo, the revelation of her childhood appearance and being surrounded by a crowd of people is a painful experience.

Even Elysia felt a little embarrassed.

Eden: "What does it matter? Everyone likes Elysia, don't they?"

Elysia: "I really like what you said."

Raiden Mei: "So, when should this memory begin? Elysia, only you probably know."

Elysia: "Hmm... where should I begin? They all seem like things worth remembering: the orphanage, the dream of traveling the world, the Fire Moth... they're all such beautiful things."

Her life was so magnificent, always accompanied by fantastical stories, beauty, and a tumultuous fate.

No matter which part you start from, it has its own unique character.

Elysia: "I can't guarantee that either. Otherwise, Mei, why don't you just guess?"

Raiden Mei: "Just guessing? This..."

Gambling on luck is not advisable. She's not Kiana. Raiden Mei solved all the multiple-choice questions on her exams step by step using her knowledge.

Elysia: "Mei, you have to believe that cute girls are always lucky, and fate will favor you."

Raiden Mei: "Really? Then I'll choose B."

[Correct answer.]

Theresa: "This works?"

The system's judgment surprised everyone. Elysia been trying to fool Raiden Mei, so how did it get the correct answer?

Or perhaps the two of them reached some tacit agreement?

Elysia: "I knew it! Beautiful girls are always lucky. Now you believe me, Mei?"

Raiden Mei: "Ahem, actually I just thought option B was special, and I even marked the location."

Vostok-51, a remote border town.

Although Raiden Mei didn't know what the place name represented, since it was specifically emphasized that it was a place where Elysia had once stayed, it must have something special about it.

[Congratulations to Raiden Mei for winning the reward: "Elysian Realm Mei Accelerated Training Plan".]

[Description: After using this item, Raiden Mei will travel to the Death Space to receive special training from Flame-Chasers for one week.]

Raiden Mei: "?!!"

A light card landed in Raiden Mei's hand, and she was somewhat stunned by the system's introduction.

Is this a way of giving himself a cheat code?

However, special training shouldn't be considered cheating. How much she can improve depends entirely on how much she can improve within a week.

Pardofelis: "Is Sister Mei coming? Welcome, welcome, although I probably won't be of much help."

Unless Raiden Mei needs a way to survive, Pardofelis is quite skilled in this area.

Raiden Mei: "I'm still considering it."

Her foundation is still too weak. Even under immense pressure, Raiden Mei has already made the leap from B-rank Valkyrie to A-rank Valkyrie.

However, even A-rank Valkyrie vary in strength.

Raiden Mei doesn't consider herself to be among the stronger ones.

In terms of pure combat power, she is no match for Kiana, who has the Gluttony ability. Bronya has Heavy Machinery Rabbit, and Seele said that Bronya used to be very powerful.

As for why she has consistently underperformed, the reason is currently unknown; all that is known is that Bronya's combat strength is unpredictable.

Seele, Wendy... they're both truly overpowered, so we won't discuss them for now.

Thinking about it, without realizing it, Raiden Mei discovered that this top student was almost at the bottom.

Kiana: "Mei, I don't want you to leave! What will I do if you leave? You'll definitely be seduced by that fox, Elysia!"

Seeing Raiden Mei hesitate, Kiana lunged forward and grabbed Raiden Mei's leg, holding on tightly to prevent her from leaving.

She cried so heartbreakingly, as if Raiden Mei wasn't going to hone her skills, but rather to her execution.

Teacher Himeko was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore.

Himeko Murata: "Kiana, can't you be a little more sensible? It's just training, it's good for Mei... Let go of her hand right now."

Kiana: "Mea, Mei."

Raiden Mei: "Alright, Kiana, it's only a week. It's not like I'm not coming back."

With a helpless smile, Raiden Mei patted Kiana's head, then looked at Himeko Murata and Theresa.

The two nodded, indicating their support for Raiden Mei's decision, and even favoring her going.

Raiden Mei could easily understand their thoughts. After witnessing the power of the Flame-Chasers, they knew that the Honkai was far more terrifying than what they had experienced.

They need greater power!

Raiden Mei: "So, Elysia, may I come over now?"

Elysia: "You're welcome anytime, if it's you, Mei."

Raiden Mei nodded, pinched the card between two fingers, and her figure disappeared, reappearing in the Death Space shortly afterward.

Chapter 448 When Raiden Mei Arrives in the Death Space

Raiden Mei opened her eyes, already mentally prepared. She wasn't surprised by the people and scenery that appeared; Pardofelis, Elysia, Cosmo, Griseo... they were all familiar faces.

While Raiden Mei was observing the Flame-Chasers, Elysia agreed to look at her face as well.

"Hmm? It's a little different from what I expected."

Elysia tapped her chin as she circled around Raiden Mei, her gaze fixed on her face.

Raiden Mei asked, "Is there something on my face?"

"No, she's just a little different from the Mei I remember. How should I put it... she's more innocent and more delicate-looking."

Mei and the Mei are almost the two extremes.

Raiden Mei hasn't joined World Serpent yet, and hasn't even experienced a major turning point in her life; she's still stuck in the stage of being a housewife.

Words like cute, pretty, and stunningly beautiful are more fitting for her.

"Actually, I also think that the person with the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is a bit paranoid and arrogant."

Raiden Mei scratched her cheek.

At least she certainly wouldn't dare to say something like "[The winds submit to me]" in front of everyone right now.

"Yes, I like both Mei, don't you think, Pardofelis?"

"Huh? Sister Elysia, you're asking me? I actually think everything's fine."

Pardofelis didn't care.

It's just that the Sister Mei looks more reassuring, while this Sister Mei gives off a feeling of being well-fed and plentiful just by looking at her.

Unfortunately, one cannot have both.

"Since it's a system task, it might be forced to execute. So, Mei, who do you want to start with?"

Elysia originally wanted to catch up with her old friends, but then she realized they only had a week together.

Let's help Raiden Mei improve her strength first, as a return gift for her going to the Previous Era Elysian Realm and fulfilling her dream of having her own Memory Body.

"Um... how about you guys decide?"

Personally, I'd definitely choose Elysia for Raiden Mei.

He's a good person, warm-hearted, and always manages to arrange everything perfectly.

Moreover, Elysia is also Herrscher, so it would be perfect if she could teach me how to control the power of Herrscher.

However, this person's level is too high. Even if the Mei came, she would probably only be able to accompany Elysia on a [date]. If she were to pick on Elysia right away, Raiden Mei would feel that she was overestimating herself.

"Otherwise, let me go first."

The two turned around and saw that Sakura had somehow appeared behind Mei.

Sakura walked up to Raiden Mei: "The so-called basics of swordsmanship are nothing more than strength and speed. It just so happens that Mei and I both use katanas and have good teamwork, so I'll take care of the basics from the beginning."

"Um."

Raiden Mei nodded, took the bamboo sword from Sakura's hand, and looked at the figure opposite her with a serious expression.

Signet of Setsuna, cherry blossoms.
