Kapitel 25: Chapter 25: Life and Moment
The banquet continued.
Except for the focal point, Elysia and Eden, most people were curious and tasting various delicacies.
After scaring Bronie a bit, Kevin found a corner to slurp noodles with while watching Bronie and Pardofelis interact.
Perhaps both of them had lively personalities and were easily curious about everything, so they got along very well.
Su watched Kevin slurping noodles while occasionally picking up a teapot to savor the tea slowly.
"Bronie's life experiences are quite rich and colorful, especially in terms of food. It seems that every food is etched in her heart like Elysia's, and every dish is meticulously tasted, even the eating methods are quite refined."
This tea, Su could taste a different feeling.
If Bronie saw this tea, she would probably complain that this tea was what the gang leader Fu Hua gave her when she asked to leave the Taixuan Sect in Arc City.
At that time, the other party wanted to use momentum to pressure her and make her give up leaving the Taixuan Sect.
So she was asked to savor this cup of tea well, and then leave the Taixuan Sect.
That was a very bad memory.
After all, it was Taixuan Sect that adopted her and allowed her to live a not-so-bad life early on.
But later, Bronie felt that she had grown up and wanted to go out on her own, so she also pestered Raven to leave the Taixuan Sect.
Who knows what that Taixuan Sect's Fu Hua was thinking.
Was it to adopt orphans and establish her own Taixuan Sect, and then squeeze them well?
Or was it to establish a big family and find a more suitable way of life in Arc City?
Bronie definitely couldn't accept the many rules of the Taixuan Sect, but in the process of growing up in the Taixuan Sect, she inevitably learned a lot of miscellaneous things.
Like tea tasting.
Taixuan Sect's Fu Hua was good at this, and Bronie didn't know why.
Apart from Kevin and Su, Kalpas was the liveliest one at this banquet.
He specifically chose spicy things to eat, whether it was spicy strips or hotpot barbecue, or even the mysterious Death God Spicy Strips, He enjoyed them all.
Like the most lively person at the banquet.
Griseo was drawing on the side, while Kosma held various desserts, standing beside Griseo like a knight guarding a princess.
As for Sakura and Hua, the two were quiet to the extreme, but they were also carefully tasting the modern era cuisine brought by Bronie.
Hua was slightly interested in buns and steamed dumplings, while Sakura was more interested in rice balls and sushi.
Perhaps it was because they were tasting cuisine culture similar to the Previous Era?
As if sensing Bronie's gaze, Hua also looked at Bronie.
The two glanced at each other, and Bronie smiled at Hua.
"Elysia, do you mind if I go and get to know other girls?"
"Huh? Are you bored of playing with me so soon? It seems that the surprises I can bring you are not enough yet?"
"Well, well, I'm going to have a harem in the future. How can I stop here?"
Although knowing that Elysia was joking, Bronie was also very cooperative.
"Oh, greedy little bunny, beware that greedy little bunnies are destined to be eaten!"
To prove her words, Elysia also hugged Bronie and rubbed Bronie's head fiercely.
"Is it okay for a cute bunny to be eaten? Don't you fear being eaten by a bunny? As a Ferocious Bunny, I can't be eaten by tigers and wolves, you know!"
"Would the bunny have the heart to eat a beautiful girl?"
"It depends on whether the beautiful girl smells good or not~"
"Well then, let me help you taste it properly, Let's go to lovely Hua, to see if you she is deliciously good or not, come!"
Watching Elysia pulling Bronie's little hand towards her, the buns in Hua's hand suddenly didn't smell good anymore.
Is it not good to be a quiet little person in the background right now?
"Hua, it's been a long time~"
"Hello Elysia, and this visitor, thank you for bringing games to the Elysian Realm."
A serious class monitor, with a firmness between her eyebrows like a seasoned warrior.
It was quite different from the impression Bronie had of Fu Hua.
Compare it with the elders of the Taixuan Sect in the Arc City.
The difference in temperament was even greater.
One side was like a gangster godfather, and the one in front of her was more like a warrior who only followed orders.
"Hello, I'm Bronie, a traveler from another world. In other worlds, you also exist."
"Huh? Is this the reason you came to me? If the me in other worlds caused you trouble, then I apologize."
"No, no, what the you in other worlds do has nothing to do with you. I just... forget it, can you give me a hug?"
"Uh... if you don't mind..."
Hua hesitated slightly but ultimately opened her arms.
Who could resist a cute little bunny offering a hug?
At least when there was no fighting, Hua felt there was no need to refuse.
She had played the role of a Spiritfarer in the game, and the plot inside was very interesting.
But this was also among the memory piled up for deleting, so she might not remember it in the future.
However, Bronie was a child who liked to act cute. After learning this from the game, she was willing to cooperate before completely forgetting Bronie.
"Larger than I imagined."
"Uh? You mean..."
"For fifty thousand years, you've survived in the Current Era and are still on the path to fighting Honkai. You outside hasn't stopped, but some parts of your body have shrunk quite a bit."
"Bronie, sorry, but it's hard for me to imagine what I would be like after surviving fifty thousand years. To maintain my stability as a Memory Replica, I will put this in the deletion pile."
The news brought by Bronie was indeed very shocking. If she had known this all along, she might have constantly had unnecessary thoughts and ended up with some unnecessary ideas.
"So, you'll forget about me too, right?"
"Sorry, but I'll give you an Signet, so rest assured."
Hua's response left Bronie dissatisfied.
"Alright, Hua, Bronie, we shouldn't discuss such heavy topics, and coming straight to a girl and saying you'll forget her is very discouraging! Also, Bronie, it's better to say less about the outside world to everyone. As for why, I think different people will have different answers, but most of it is for the stability of the Elysian Realm."
Elysia quickly intervened between the two.
"Sorry, but I have hypermnesia, and accumulating too many memories will burden me, so regular memory cleaning is actually very important for me."
And Bronie shook her head.
"I know, even in the real world, it seems you use the same means to relieve your stress, but during the Second Great Eruption, you burned too many memories with Fenghuang Down, so her situation is even worse than yours."
Then Bronie continued, "When you all leave the Elysian Realm in the future, don't easily forget about me! Clear some trivial memories and keep important ones, that's what being healthy is all about."
"If there are any technological breakthroughs, I'm happy to be part of the resistance against Honkai."
High EQ; I am willing to be part of the resistance against Honkai.
Low EQ; I dont really want to leave here, but for fighting against Honkai, I will..
Looking at Hua's stubborn appearance, Bronie could feel how impatient and similar to Senti was when facing Fu Hua.
Leaving that aside, with Hua's stubbornness, it was probably the most difficult to persuade Hua in the entire Elysian Realm.
After all, if the other party just wiped out their memories like that, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
When they came knocking on the door again, the result would be starting from scratch.
"Hey!"
Bronie was also anxious.
But then she thought, maybe there was no reason for Hua to stay after everyone else left.
So she, who was managing to think of a breakthrough point to Hua, felt like a fool.
"Okay, don't be in such a hurry, everything needs to be gradual~"
Then Bronie looked at Sakura.
"Hello visitor, I'm Sakura, a MANTIS bearing the name "Setsuna" in the Thirteen Flame Chasers. If I give you a Signet too easily, it may cause damage to your body, so please understand that I will give you an Signet after conducting an observation."
"I'm Bronie, and I didn't come here to get a Signet, I just wanted to get to know everyone and make friends?"
"The food is delicious, it reminds me of the taste of home, and the games are also very warm. Thank you for bringing everything to the Elysian Realm."
"If there's anything you want, or if you want to play games of any genre, I can make them for you~"
Sakura, who ignited one's motivation, was the character Bronie first chose to play in the game years ago.
At that time, the performance of the 'Big Three' was mediocre, but it could also be because of the deep impression of Sakura in the game.
In summary, Bronie really wanted to touch those fox ears.
"But for the reward, let me touch your ears, okay?"
Sakura's expression stiffened, but then she gently shook her head and responded with a smile, "No, thanks. My ears are quite sensitive, and there's really nothing good about touching them, so please give up on that idea."
Looking at Bronie in front of her, staring with big expectant eyes and then looking very disappointed, Sakura couldn't help but feel a bit sorry.
Just now, Hua rejected Bronie, and Kevin warned her. Then Aponia started speaking in nonsense while her eyes were open to Bronie. Would it be too heartless to refuse her this time?
Looking at the small Bronie, Sakura couldn't help but think of her own sister.
"Sorry to bother you. My dream is to bring smiles to everyone through games. If you really have any favorite game types, I can customize them for you. But since the ears are not allowed, could you give me a hug instead?"
"...Okay."
Sakura's face showed a helpless expression of defeat, then she opened her arms.
A small hug made Sakura unable to help but recall, when was the last time she hugged someone else? It was when her sister was still around, and the Honkai had not completely destroyed the civilization structure.
And then they separated.
"You shouldn't have come to the Elysian Realm. As someone who has inherited the Signets, you will eventually embark on the path to fighting the Honkai, but you are still too young."
Entering the Elysian Realm and obtaining the Signets carried significant meaning. Heavy responsibility burdened a girl of such age which was really inappropriate for her.
"No one can escape the Honkai, unless they abandon the solar system. But usually, the first need of civilization is survival. I am more curious as to why you have such advanced technology but never thought of leaving the solar system to develop on other planets? As far as I know, the range of the Honkai so far is only the solar system, right?"
"We did in fact have thought about it, but when this idea was being made it was already too late."
Sakura also had a regretful expression on her face.
"The Honkai is like a war, it accelerates the development of civilization, but it also consumes all the resources of civilization. If you develop technology to leave the solar system, it will be destroyed by the Honkai. If you develop technology to resist the Honkai, there is no time to consider the technology for space travel."
It's like the plot in the Third Eruption. The arrival of the Herrschers is getting faster and faster, to the point where new Herrschers appear within months.
At that time, who would have more energy to study these things?
The end of civilization goes without saying.
"After all, no one thought at the time that the Honkai would eventually destroy everything, nor did anyone think about the power that Finality would possess."
Elysia also felt regretful.
Bronie was right, the first need of civilization was not development, but survival. If one could see that their civilization could not resist the Honkai, who could bear to continue living on Earth?
It was because they couldn't see, nor do they want to acknowledge the fact, because the Previous Era didn't want to leave anything behind.
So it was a pity, everything came too suddenly.
"Please don't randomly touch my head; it might affect my growth."
"Okay okay. But there's no rush to resist the Honkai. It's been eight years since the Second Eruption, right? We still have plenty of time before the Third Eruption arrives."
Elysia expressed not to put too much pressure on Bronie, pushing her to resist the Honkai and all. Wasn't that too much?
Only under the extremely rational trend of thought in the environment of Honkai riddled time could such behavior occur.
Elysia was also trying her best to avoid such things from happening.
"Don't worry. Before the birth of the Third Herrscher, I mainly will make games to bring smiles to everyone. And seeing everyone enjoying my games, I'm actually quite happy."
"Your games leave a deep impression."
Just thinking about it, Sakura couldn't help but smile.
But the story in Spiritfarer brought about a different kind of deep impression for her.
Was Bronie really serious about games intended to bring smiles to everyone?

Kapitel 26: Chapter 26: Elysia Agrees to Make Changes
Eight years had passed since the Second Eruption ended, marking the same span since Cecilia's passing.
"Cecilia, our dream is about to come true. Valkyries in the future won't just be cold-hearted revenge machines against Honkai. They'll have more experiences, and the opportunity to chase their own dreams. I'll give them a less harsh childhood."
Sitting in the new academy's office for the first time, Theresa felt a subtle mix of emotions. It was once Cecilia's dream, now successfully realized in her hands, yet it all felt incredibly unreal.
"Theresa, here are the latest enrollment brochures ready to be sent out. Staff recruitment is almost complete, and the merchants have finished renovating their shops on the street. We're just waiting for the school year to start."
The red-haired woman entered the office, interrupting Theresa's reverie.
St. Freya Academy was about to open, and Theresa was still full of energy.
"Alright, are the acceptance letters ready? When will the students arrive?"
"Theresa, haven't you ever read the files? Don't enrollments usually happen in September? We still have at least three months."
"Oh... that long, huh..."
Theresa's gaze shifted to the manga under her desk. She hadn't expected it would take this long for students to arrive. Had she come too early?
"It seems you really lack relevant experience. I may not understand the lives of the wealthy like yours, but education isn't a trivial matter. Every action of ours could influence someone's entire life. So, I suggest preparing some lesson plans before the students arrive."
"But Himeko, I already have a teaching certificate."
Theresa felt she was a qualified teacher, especially after her combat experience during the Second Eruption. But now, after all this hustle, she just wanted to rest.
"Teaching and nurturing can't be summarized by what's on your teaching certificate. Honestly, I'm starting to worry about your future students."
The worry stemmed mainly from Theresa's carefree demeanor, making it hard to imagine she was once a Heroic Valkyrie who participated at the battle in the Second Eruption.
"We still have a few months, and I'm the principal. Teaching isn't my main job, right? I'll ask you to help me write some speeches when the time comes!"
With that said, Theresa left Himeko speechless.
Indeed, how many principals actually taught classes personally? At most, they oversaw the school's educational philosophy and occasionally gave a speech on stage.
The focus was on creating a comfortable environment.
"I really admire you. Fine, I'll go prepare the lessons myself. But you better think carefully about what you can offer your students."
Himeko was also constantly busy with managing the rest of the data for the school.
Watching Himeko leave, Theresa felt a subtle sense of boredom in the empty office. The school was just starting, but there was no students, so there wasn't much to do.
So Theresa opened her computer to check if there were any new volumes of her favorite manga series, "Homu Adventure." Whenever the author updated, it was always heavily promoted on social media.
"What! Another delay! And because of a game!? Even a donkey in the production team wouldn't laze like this!"
Unexpectedly, her beloved "Homu Adventure" had been delayed again, not due to illness or important matters, but because of a game?
She logged in to her game account skillfully.
Theresa wanted to see what kind of game had caused her beloved "Homu Adventure" to be delayed.
Undertale, a simple pixel cover, and incredibly high sales and consistent praise!
And next to it was the author's latest game.
"Spiritfarer"
A beautifully illustrated 2D side-scrolling game.
Looking at the two games, one big and one small, Theresa quietly turned her gaze out the window.
The current St. Freya Academy was so quiet, everything was just so peaceful.
So tere is nothing much to say; these two games combined aren't even worth a hundred and fifty.
Let's just get started!
She really wanted to see what kind of game could cause Homu Adventure to stop updating. How good could it be?
...
"Lord Otto, Lady Theresa's St. Freya Academy is ready; we just need to resolve the student issue."
In Otto's office, his personal assistant Amber intruded on Otto's rare leisure time.
Theresa had asked Himeko to send over the enrollment issue for St. Freya Academy, which would definitely be handled by Otto.
Otto set down his game controller.
"Wasn't the student issue already discussed? Just send over some ordinary students with a bit of Honkai resistance. Only the geniuses need special training; the rest can all go to Theresa."
"Yes, it's expected to start in September, but before that, the school has been idle all along. Lieutenant Himeko sent a message saying that Theresa might take a break and forget about the school until September due to losing track of time playing."
"That does sound like my granddaughter's style. Seems like this Himeko is quite perceptive and responsible... But didn't I hear that Theresa's favorite Homu Adventure has been delayed lately?"
"Sorry, Archbishop, I've been quite busy lately, I haven't been paying attention to the updates on Homu Adventure."
"I see..."
Did Otto want to give her a break?
That's out of the question.
If Amber took a break, who would do her work?
But one thing did pique Otto's curiosity.
That was, besides the so-called Homu Adventure, what other hobbies could Theresa have besides drinking bitter melon juice and watching magical girl anime?
In the remaining three months, what else could Theresa do?
Skillfully invading the principal's office computer at St. Freya Academy, Otto saw Theresa was downloading two brand new games from the familiar SBeam interface.
One was a hand-drawn fairy tale-style game called Spiritfarer, and the other was a pixel-art game called Undertale.
These two games were still very novel in today's gaming world.
Not Homu Adventure?
Check the sales again.
There seemed to be a trend of surpassing Kallen Fantasy.
Otto was referring to his old work Kallen Fantasy VI.
With the high technological prowess of Schicksal, exquisite 3D modeling, and top-notch music accompaniment, Kallen Fantasy was basically a technological blow to the entire gaming industry.
It was like during the 2008 era, the competition was low-quality games like Devil May Cry, World of Warcraft, and Grand Theft Auto 4; suddenly, a 3A masterpiece made with the Unreal Engine 5 emerged.
They were simply not on the same technological level.
It had the highest sales in the entire gaming industry, and the reviews were also the best. As for competitors trying to catch up with that level of technology, it was almost impossible.
So many developers gave up chasing and started slacking in the gaming industry.
But now, with such a small-scale game, it seemed to have a trend of catching up with Kallen Fantasy, breaking Schikcsal Entertainment's technological curse!
This did pique Otto's interest a bit.
Even the author of Homu Adventure had given it a good review, and even delayed updates.
Coupled with his granddaughter playing such games, Otto became interested in the two games that suddenly appeared.
Independent developer?
Haxxor Bunny Studio?
Let me see what you're capable of!
...
"The benefit of a developed network is that it allows my games to spread to all corners of the world. I didn't expect the First Herrscher to leave a comment. It seems that Undertale has brought him quite a bit of nostalgia."
After the banquet, Bronie received a Setsuna Signet, a Viscittude Signet, and even a Reviere Signet.
Of course, Kevin's Signet was also passed on.
Receiving too many Signets at once, Bronie suddenly felt dizzy. After sleeping for a while, she happened to see Elysia next to her.
"So you've actually released the game, huh?" Elysia looked at the panel projected by Bronie. It was the gaming platform called SBeam.
"With hundreds of thousands in sales and unanimous good reviews, but what's even more interesting is that First Herrscher, huh? Even though I'm not particularly interested in boys, he's a Herrscher fighting for humanity!"
"Being able to make money, and quite a lot of it, no one would ignore money, right?"
"But it's still amazing! Getting unanimous praise, it's well-deserved! But what about your health? Your body is still growing, and bearing the effects of so many Signets all at once."
Actually, during the banquet, Elysia wanted to stop Bronie from bearing so many Signets all at once.
But Bronie thought her body would be fine.
As a result, in a daze, she ended up bearing three Signets at once!
"When it comes to strength, you can never have too much. I only have Elysian Realm to train myself right now. If I want to go on adventures in the universe in the future, this level of strength is far from enough."
"I think you don't need to worry too much~" Elysia patted Bronie's head lightly, seeing that this time Bronie didn't avoid it, proving how really tired Bronie was at the moment.
"I actually feel okay now. The Setsuna Signet accelerated my reflexes, the Viviscitude Signet gave me boxing techniques as powerful as the ability to propel myself to the air, and the Reverie Signet made me feel stronger in scouting and treasure hunting. The powers these Signets bring me don't conflict too much."
The most important point is Setsuna Signet.
In the game, the fleeting Signet is similar to Aponia's Discipline Signet, increasing in layers over time, and the power becomes stronger and stronger.
Perhaps this is also the relationship between the Sakura and Aponia?
"By the way, where did you guys get in playing the game? And how long have I been asleep?"
There are few people entering the Elysian Realm, so the rest area is relatively empty. At least resting here doesn't feel uncomfortable.
The sofa is very soft, and the bedding is warm.
"Probably about eight hours? Maybe the burden of the Signets was too heavy, or maybe it was because there was too much food at the banquet, so you fell asleep very soundly. It took me quite an effort to bring you to the rest area!"
Simulations... Can it also transport the human body here?
Bronie hesitated slightly.
But then she decided not to think about such questions anymore.
"As for the game, Summer left, I met Astrid, and then sent off Alice. When sending off Alice, I felt that maybe sending them away to the Afterlife wasn't entirely a bad thing."
Elysia knew that Bronie liked to hear about game-related matters, especially made by herself so this time she also talked a lot about games.
When Bronie was resting, the Sim hardly needed to rest.
So Elysia also spent her time on games.
As Bronie said, if she want to savor all the details of the game, it will definitely take hundreds of hours.
Fortunately, there her Dear Eden by her side, who is much better at analyzing the plot than herself!
"Summer is a good teacher troubled by cancer, a lovely person who truly loves the earth, and a brave guy who dares to express her love. It's a pity that everything has an end, and her ending is also leaving in pain, right?"
"Just like Gwen, but she wasn't psychologically defeated by the illness, which is different from Gwen."
"As for Alice, she died of old age, right? Even until the end, she was still thinking about her daughter. She woke up first every morning, occasionally helped me pick some fruit, and sometimes made delicious snacks in the kitchen. She was a very kind old lady!"
Watching Alice calmly finish her life and then enter the Everdoor.
Elysia said that she and Eden bid farewell to them with smiles.
And it was because of Alice's deeds that Eden began to wonder what Stella had done before.
Whether it was Summer or Gwen, they both passed away from illness, but Stella accompanied them and watched them enter their final moments.
As for Alice, her departure seemed plain, but it also implied to have a very important connection with Stella.
This game seems to be not just about the deeds of the Spiritfarer's souls it ferried, but about Stella's life story.
"Alice is like a grandmother in many families, and she is also encountered a problem that all humans have to face. But when it really comes to that time, it always feels like there is nothing unacceptable, right?"
"Yeah, there's nothing unacceptable, and we've accepted everything."
So you don't plan to leave the Elysian Realm, right?
Bronie listened to Elysia say this and felt helpless.
"But you guys haven't really faced such problems. Your sims have eternal data, which is a different form of existence, and you can also create your own value and seek the meaning of your existence."
"Yeah, I know!" Elysia had heard Bronie say this many times and also took it to heart.
For Elysia, the significance of the Elysian Realm is like a storybook, telling future generations what the Flame Chasers of the past have done.
There is a beginning, and there is also an end.
But if Elysia were to give up this storybook, she would definitely not be able to accept it.
But people's temperaments are always reconcilable, aren't they?
The idea proposed by Bronie of finding one's own meaning of existence and creating one's own value does not conflict with preserving the Elysian Realm.
Perhaps, indeed, one can take that step forward.
But unfortunately, everything still relies on Bronie.
"So, in the end, it depends on your efforts~"
