Genshin Impact creator: Alicia, please endorse me.

Eden gently shook his head: "Please don't blame yourself, Miss Mei~"

"Ellie's life was so colorful that it's somewhat unreasonable to expect you to reconstruct all of her memories from your brief time in paradise."

"The fact that you've come this far already shows you've done your best. Now... let's fulfill our mission."

"The absence of one memory must naturally be filled by another."

“That’s right~” Fairy Alice happily picked up where Eden left off:

"Because she's just like me when I grow up!"

"Heh~" Eden couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Indeed~"

"After all, she's a doll that Ellie created based on herself; she's like Ellie's alter ego, sharing the same emotions."

"And I, as Ellie's friend, the person who has been with her the longest, we have spent a long time together, sharing precious memories..."

"Now, it will all become the path you take forward."

……

Upon seeing this, the players immediately understood.

But it was precisely because they understood that they began to feel a dull ache in their hearts.

In the end... did Eden indeed succumb to death...?

This has been made very clear.

Eden will also use all his data to help Mei welcome back Alicia...

And... it's not just Eden.

Even the adorable, innocent, angelic fairy Airi... is going to be killed!!

The live chat exploded immediately.

There were condemnations of Otto's inhuman behavior.

There were also questions for Mei.

After all, Mei just said in her live stream that everything that followed was sweet...

Mei didn't answer the questions raised in the comments, only casually saying, "You'll find out as you watch."

……

During the game, Mei naturally understood the meaning behind Eden's words.

"But, as a memory entity, if you use your own memories to complete Alicia's existence, wouldn't you yourself..."

Before Mei could finish speaking, Eden interrupted with a smile, "I will become a part of her~"

"Isn't this a very romantic thing?"

"So please don't worry about me, Mei-san~"

"To me, life is nothing more than a romantic drama."

"As long as the curtain falls at the right time and in the most beautiful way, then the performance will be perfect."

"This was also her wish."

……

Eden's words do not redefine "romance".

The players also realized what was happening.

Although Eden will indeed disappear, but...

I'm totally shipping this couple!!

It is indeed sweet, but it also has a slightly bitter taste.

Moreover, given Eden's real-life status as a world-renowned artist, her exit from the game with such a romantic ending...

That's probably the best way.

Once players understand this, they can barely accept the ending of Eden's "sacrifice".

But... Ellie the fairy... she's so cute, why...?

At this moment, Kiana also felt a little reluctant.

But suddenly, she remembered her fairy, Ellie.

"..."

Due to the plot, she needs to replenish some of her [Fairy Airi] energy.

"Mei, I'll go get the fairy Airi~"

As she spoke, Kiana tried to get up, but Mei pressed her back down.

"I'll go get her for you, you can continue advancing the plot."

Kiana did not refuse and sat back down in her chair.

The difference from before is that

Her gaze had always been fixed on the peaks of Eden.

That silhouette that she coveted so much...

However, Kiana's attention is now entirely focused on the fairy Airi next to Eden.

pity……

The game screen suddenly changed to a design of four crystal flowers.

"Four crystal flowers, four keys..."

Eden now possesses two Crystal Flowers, one belonging to Aponia and the other to herself.

Mei also has two flowers on her body: the one Kevin gave to Sue earlier, and the one Velvet gave her.

Now that all four keys have been collected, we've reached the final stage of the Paradise story.

That long-forgotten past...

That banquet...

"Miss Mei"

Eden gently took Mei's hand and placed the two crystal flowers in her hands.

The brilliance of the crystal flowers intertwines, weaving together the most precious memories of the singers of this era.

　730 "Please, you must bring Airi... our [hope] back to this world."

"..."

When Mei awoke from her hazy past, she saw Eden reclining on the sofa, holding a golden cup.

This scene was exactly the same as when she first saw Eden in Paradise.

But... this is farewell forever...

"Eden...may I...ask you one last question?"

"Of course, Miss Mei, the rest of my life... belongs to you."

Mei: "There's something I just can't understand..."

"As the Firemoth was shattered and she herself faced doubts about her survival, Alicia volunteered to become the [Thirteenth Herrscher] in order to unite the remaining people, standing on the opposite side of humanity..."

"In the end, she sacrificed herself to get the world back on track..."

"This is the history I can deduce from the archives of Paradise and the fragments of words from heroes... but..."

"But... is that really the case?"

Eden: "..."

Seeing Eden's silence, Mei wasn't in a hurry. Instead, she continued her analysis: "Regardless of how she 'actively' becomes a Herrscher, or how she 'sacrifices' to make everyone realize the truth..."

"If this is Alicia's true [ending]..."

"Then why did the story of the Thirteenth Herrscher... become a history that has been erased?"

What Mei said was not updated in the game's archives.

So this was the first time players had heard Mei's analysis.

However, after hearing Mei's guess, they also felt a strong sense of curiosity.

Unfortunately, Eden did not provide an answer either.

She simply smiled and told Mei that the answer lay in the "truth" she had been searching for.

"……is that so?"

"so……"

Suddenly, Mei recalled what Alicia had once told her.

On the night before Alicia disappeared...
