Chapter 48: A Wonderful Day

Elysia's words indeed surprised Bronie a bit.

But upon careful consideration, her abilities were so extraordinary that it did seem a bit unreasonable.

Just following the principle of energy conservation, projecting something and the energy and effort she normally expended didn't seem to correlate proportionally.

When Elysia pointed out all of this, Bronie realized what it meant to be blindsided.

The shock brought by such information to Bronie was immense.

For a moment, Bronie couldn't even find the words to speak, then she looked towards the nearby sea.

"It seems there's another reason to force you to leave the Elysian Realm, isn't there?"

"Why would you think that?"

Elysia knew Bronie was still in shock, but she didn't expect Bronie to say such words amidst her shock.

"After all, you told me that I'm a miracle in the Sea of Quanta, or something like that. I don't really feel it at all. Rather, I'm more interested in what exactly the core inside me is. If we want to study this kind of thing, both Mobius and Vill-V are indispensable, right? Leaving the Elysian Realm and establishing a research institute is the only way to continue the research, and now I can only wait."

Bronie's words weren't wrong. Even if she knew this information, what could she do about it? Could she undergo a transformation like a Herrscher? Right now, she couldn't do anything. What was the use of knowing all this?

"Really, I prepared this surprise, and you're so unenthusiastic. It seems I'll have to teach you how to become a qualified and lovely girl~"

"I don't think it's necessary... What are you doing! Don't come any closer!!"

Elysia spread her arms wide and pounced, embracing Bronie tightly. Struggling as she might, Bronie couldn't escape Elysia's embrace.

Who knows why there's a commercial street in the Elysian Realm, who knows why there are so many clothing stores on the commercial street.

For Bronie, the actions that followed were simply an endless torment.

The backless white dress felt chilly. The strange fishnet stockings, paired with hot pants and a small vest, made it feel like she was wearing clothes and yet nothing at all.

Closing her eyes in the beauty salon and feeling Elysia fiddling with her face, Bronie walked out of the salon when her face was almost numb.

The number of drills on her head increased from two to four.

Is this Elysia's memory?

After experiencing it for real, Bronie didn't even have much time to tell Elysia about her plans.

Seeing that Bronie was indeed a bit tired, Elysia dragged her to a dessert shop.

"To be honest, I've never experienced such suffering in all my life. The life of a real girl is so terrifying. I prefer efficiency over beauty."

"But aren't you even a little moved? Seeing yourself in the mirror that is completely different from before."

"Cough cough..."

Bronie was a little guilty. To be honest, Bronie knew she was good-looking, but she never expected to reach this level.

Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, her entire demeanor was different, like a little princess from somewhere. It was quite novel.

"Hehe~ It seems you're quite moved too~ How does it feel to see everything in my memory?"

"It's amazing."

"I should say, 'Beautiful and enchanting Elysia is my moonlight, I will always love Elysia~'"

"Beautiful and enchanting Elysia is my moonlight, I will always love Elysia."

"Oh dear! That's so cheating~ But I love everyone too~"

Well, this response like a Harem king wasn't unexpected to Bronie.

"As my game company grows outside, once the Elden Ring is completed, I'll have the capital to access Schicksal. The Archbishop of Schicksal have the Divine Key - Void Archives. My plan now is to get a backdoor from Vill-V, then package all the technology of the Schicksal from the hands of the Void Archives, and then come back to discuss the possibility of everyone leaving the Elysian Realm."

"It seems like a simple plan."

Elysia heard Bronie's plan and could solve it with just two sentences, but as Bronie said before, Schicksal is the organization that inherits the legacy of the previous civilization specifically to deal with the Honkai.

Similar to the Fire Moth, but even more powerful.

But for an organization like this, does this sneaky grabbing of information seem a bit disrespectful and careless?

The more precise the plan, the easier it is to go wrong.

"The general direction is fine, but the details can only be planned on the eve of action. But rest assured, my plans as Bronie have never failed. I've been wanting to burn down Arc City since I was five! Later on, in a sense, it can be considered a success, right?"

"Then I have to listen to your story carefully!"

Elysia didn't regard Bronie as some unforgivable person because the information she knew was too one-sided, so she wanted to understand more. The story of the Cyber Arc City couldn't be summed up in just a few words, but Bronie patiently recounted it in full.

Then, they moved on to the mesmerizing world within the Sea of Quanta.

Within the Sea of Quanta, there existed more than one faction, and their stories combined couldn't help but make Bronie think of a vast cosmic epic.

Unfortunately, Bronie didn't actually know much, and could only narrate what she saw from her own perspective.

"The Sea of Quanta is truly a miraculous place, with countless Bubble Worlds, people from parallel worlds, and the girl wielding the power of thunder, who look exactly like Dr. Mei. I really want to see each other~"

Unconsciously, the Elysian Realm had already entered the night, and Bronie felt a bit tired.

But spending time like this was truly joyful for her. But good times always come to an end, don't they?

"If you could leave the Elysian Realm, after the Honkai is resolved, I'll take you to explore the starry sea, to see that vast and magnificent universe, and civilizations facing crisis due to certain things."

"Crisis due to certain things?"

"Yes, it's possible for a disaster source called a Stellaron to be born within a planet's core. Although there are also Stellaron Hunters, I've heard that organization only hunts Stellarons for profit? I'm not very clear, just hearsay."

"Okay~ Exploring the starry sea sounds so romantic! I'm really looking forward to it! If there are indeed many civilizations trapped on their planets due to those things, constantly experiencing tragic cycles, then I won't just stand by." Elysia was like this, after getting to know more people, she would also strive to make the people around her live better lives.

She loved everyone.

And she kept fighting for it.

The existence of the Elysian Realm was to completely showcase her life to the successors, to let them fully understand the life of the girl named Elysia, and to clarify what the true self is.

Wandering around the Elysian Realm with Bronie for a long time, under Elysia's guidance, Bronie seemed to let go of many of her guards in her heart.

This was a good thing.

Usually, Bronie displayed a tight security, but this date didn't seem to excite Bronie easily.

What's more important is that after telling Bronie about her identity, Bronie calmly accepted it all, and even expressed her intention to study this identity further in the future.

And even better, to use this power to bring smiles to those around her.

Knowing oneself, clarifying goals, this is also the meaning of an ego's existence.

Seeing that her Elysian Realm was really useful, Elysia couldn't be happier.

It's just a pity that the surprise wasn't enough. If she revealed her identity as the Herrscher of Origin, gradually showing all her memories to Bronie, inheriting the meaning called Origin, leaving a more impressive memory, that would be perfect for Elysia.

It's just a pity that Bronie seems to know too much.

Perhaps it's because of other Bubble Worlds?

After all, Bronie said that some Bubble Worlds are shadows of possible futures of another world, although such Bubble Worlds dissipate quickly, the information left behind is highly similar.

"If you're willing to come out, that would be great, but what makes me feel more distressed is still Hua, because no matter what effort I make, after she deletes her memories, all my efforts will be in vain."

"No! Because of your game, Hua didn't completely forget you, did she? As long as you work hard, there will definitely be results. Hua just doesn't know how to adapt, but your sincerity will definitely move her. Believe in yourself!"

"That's good."

Elysia's words were not wrong. At least for Bronie's game, "Getting Over It With Haxxor Bunny" also had an option to leave Hua's deleted memories.

"It's almost time to rest. My body is still growing. If I don't grow taller in the future, I'll jump up and break people's legs."

"Why do you hold grudges against people's legs so much~"

"Fear is often the best way to promote one's reputation, but dead people can't scream loudly, so I use breaking legs as a way. This way, Haxxor's reputation spreads, I can get more orders, money isn't everything, but without money, nothing is possible."

"Well, it seems that our mafia princess's habits can't be changed, but as you grow up and become a more adorable and charming beauty, it seems that you don't reject this idea as much, right?"

"It's just a trivial persistence of mine. But the past is the past because everything is settled, unchangeable. So facing the future, changing the present, is also a good thing. But... I'm really not used to wearing too little clothes."

"Actually, I don't like it much either, but who made my figure so good~ Showing my best side, although I'm bit shy in these clothes, everything is worth it."

"I see, wear a little more, I love seeing it."

"Then you have to look forward to it. This is the last item, a roller coaster that surrounds the entire Elysian Realm, and there's a special program at night!"

The special program Elysia mentioned was actually a huge fireworks show, with the roller coaster weaving through the buildings, fireworks bursting around, in this romantic atmosphere, Bronie wished she could stay in this moment forever.

After leaving the roller coaster, Bronie felt a bit reluctant.

But noticing Bronie's reluctance, Elysia said,

"Alright! Aren't you tired? There are resting places in the Elysian Realm too. Come, let me take you to the hotel, rest well, and see you tomorrow~"

Following Elysia to the end of the road, the door of an empty hotel was open, anyone could stay inside, it looked like the hotel Elysia had stayed in when she used to work.

Tomorrow they could meet again.

But the roller coaster, probably only had one chance. Although a bit reluctant, more joy filled Bronie's heart. "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Saying goodbye to Elysia, Bronie randomly found a room, and with a tired body, lay directly on the bed.

Her mind began to wander uncontrollably. Her identity, her abilities.

Elysia's smile, and the details of her past she narrated to herself.

Their relationship, was it becoming more intimate? Probably yes?

Bronie wasn't a researcher, so even if Elysia said she noticed something special about her, without further research, Bronie couldn't feel anything special. At most, she could just exercise well and try to increase her proficiency with the mysterious power in her hands.

But after this date. Elysia enthusiastically recommended various cute and beautiful clothes, as well as various dressing techniques that only girls needed to master.

This long-dormant girlish heart hidden in her heart was gradually awakening.

Once she accepted the feminine side in her heart, would she become invincible? No no no!

She was just facing the future, making appropriate changes. It's meaningless to dwell on past gender issues.

Could it affect her ability to pick up girls?

Absolutely not.

If she could see a cute and charming her in the mirror every day, with a good mood facing the new day, things would be more efficient, right?

Bronie always emphasized efficiency, and perhaps the lifestyle taught by Elysia was indeed a good choice.

Inside the Elysian Realm, while Bronie followed her biological clock into the night, memory replicas didn't necessarily choose to rest.

Elysia opened up her memory space for everyone, and after coaxing Bronie to sleep, Eden and Elysia naturally began to revel in it.

Each of the Flamechasers each had their own way of life, and with more of such spaces in the Elysian Realm, everyone silently explored this world, trying to understand Elysia's inner thoughts more.

In her dream, Bronie dreamed of being close to Elysia, then with Aponia, and then with Eden.

Of course, she also dreamed of her grown-up self, with a figure even fuller than Silver Wing N-EX.

"Why do I feel like I can't see my feet in my dream? Why would I have such a dream?"
