In fact, it could be upgraded to a level similar to that of the fairy Ellie in the game.
It's a bit expensive, but...
"How about we upgrade a few after Paradise ends?"
"I think the girls will really like it..."
……
in the game.
Mei also accompanied the fairy Airi, experiencing various amusement park rides while pretending to search for Airi.
Along the way, the fairy Ellie's adorable voice dispelled the gloomy mood of many people, and players couldn't help but smile like doting aunts.
However, when the fairy Ellie suddenly mentioned "the mature me" again, the players' mood sank once more.
Mei: "You really know this place well..."
Fairy Airi proudly stood with her hands on her hips: "After all, it was created using my mature memories, so it feels like home to me~"
Meiyi: "..."
"Alicia's memories... are always filled with laughter and joy, just as she said... a manifestation of all that is beautiful."
"Hehe~ I'm not bragging, but this must be the happiest place in the world!"
"But... it's strange, I can't find the mature version of myself anywhere, she really knows how to hide it~"
Meiyi: "..."
Suddenly, as if she had just realized something, the fairy Airi exclaimed, "I know!"
"This must be a challenge she's issuing to us!"
"Hmph~ I'll go find her for you right away! Don't underestimate the power of fairies!"
"Well then, see you next time, lovely humans~"
Barrage:"……"
Kiana: "..."
The girls in the studio: "..."
This repeated stabbing scene is what makes everyone feel both ecstatic and tormented.
The storyline is very sweet.
But my heart is aching so much...
At this moment, the fairy Airi is like... an innocent little girl who has lost her mother but is unaware of it, still thinking that her mother is playing a game with her...
It left players feeling somewhat suffocated.
……
In the game.
Mei watched the fairy Airi slowly drift away, her feelings incredibly complicated.
Finally, she sighed.
"Let's go find and meet up with Virvie first."
After that, Mei followed Virvi to investigate.
Along the way, Mei remembered the [faded] monster she had encountered in Chapter 29.
In order to confirm whether the monster was drawn by Gretsch unintentionally, the two decided to go to Gretsch together to confirm.
Unfortunately, Greta's side also didn't know what that monster was.
However, she could vaguely sense the aura of that monster.
Under Gretchen's guidance, Mei actually encountered the same kind of "faded" monster as before.
Unfortunately, the clues went cold here.
With no other option, Mei and Wilvi had to change the direction of their investigation.
Meanwhile, Kosmo watched Mei and Velvet's departing figures with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Greta noticed his inner thoughts.
"Kosmo...would you like to go and help?"
Kosmo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head against his will: "No, we should stay away from danger."
"Kos is a liar," Gretsch suddenly said, hands on her hips, "You clearly don't want to stay away from danger."
Kosmo: "You don't want to wait here, do you?"
At this moment, Gretchen seemed to have taken on Mei's colors, becoming... somewhat assertive.
“I know, Kosmo wanted to go with them, just like back then…”
"Kosmo wanted to fight alongside everyone, but he was forced to board that ship..."
Upon seeing this, the players immediately understood the meaning behind Gretchen's words.
The so-called "ship" is the Ark Project of the pre-civilization.
These stories are described in the archives of the Vessel of Memories, and players have all read them.
In the file, Kosmo felt that if he boarded that ship, it would be like deserting.
Although he liked spaceships and stars, he didn't want to be a deserter.
Unfortunately, he had no reason to refuse to board the ship.
Because he understood that Project Ark was also a very important part, and someone had to do it.
He was just... a little unwilling.
Players initially believed that Kosmo was the one who carried out Project Ark.
But in this main storyline, through Gretchen's narration, players finally learn the final answer.
It turned out that Gretchen understood Kosmo's reluctance to board the ship, so she took the initiative to approach Velvet and asked to take Kosmo's place on the Ark project.
"So that's how it is..."
It wasn't until 5 years later that the memory entity Kosmo finally understood why it was Gretsch, not him, who ultimately boarded the Ark.
“I asked Vivi several times, but each time she said it was just a whim…”
Greta: "I asked Sister Velvi to keep it a secret. I didn't want Kosmo to be sad."
"So, after that, did Kosmo achieve his wish?"
Kosmo: "...I...don't know..."
"Perhaps he just lost his life in vain, accomplished nothing, and failed to become a hero..."
"I...never asked about my fate. I didn't have the courage to ask. I was afraid of hearing an answer I didn't want to face."
"Then why do you want to be a hero?" At this moment, Gretchen reverted to her original innocent self.
·· ·····Requesting flowers··· ·····
"Are...heroes really that powerful?"
Kosmo: "...Only one aspect, I suppose."
"...A hero is someone who can help everyone and lead people to victory."
Greta: "Then... will heroes always fight?"
Kosmo paused for a moment before nodding.
“Oh…” Gretchen lowered her head: “Then I can’t be a hero.”
Upon seeing this, Kosmo quickly explained, "No... Gretsch, there's more than one way to fight."
"Then... must heroes always die?"
Kosmo remained silent for a long time when faced with this question.
He wanted to say no, but she knew that there was no need for him to lie to the young girl in front of him.
Seeing that Kosmo remained silent, Gretchen understood what he meant.
"Then I don't want Kosmo to become a hero."
At this moment, Gretchen radiated her own unique color.
"My parents are missing, and the adults say they are heroes."
"You all say that Sister Desdovia is a hero because she's gone missing."
"Finally, Kosmo will also leave me, to become everyone's hero."
"Everyone wants to be a hero, so... what about me?"
"This time... will Kosmo also want to be a hero?"
Kosmo remained silent for a long time, simply staring at Gretchen.
