Chapter 373 needs some Fairy Airi energy replenished.
This kind of storyline, which evokes memories, can always easily stir up players' emotions.
Just like the night before Alicia disappeared.
At that time, Alicia also took Mei and revisited Paradise.
Players still vividly remember that conversation that transcended dimensions.
This time, the memories before the reunion also deeply moved the players.
Furthermore, Mei's "guarantee" that something sweet would follow makes the scene even sweeter for players.
……
In the game, as Mei recalls her memories, Alicia's outline becomes clearer and clearer.
"We've only known each other for a short time."
"But that's just how she is; she always appears unexpectedly in every situation, leaving a shadow in people's hearts that varies in length."
"No one has ever been more sincere than her, and no one has ever been more pure than her..."
"She always remembered everything that Paradise left behind, so..."
"She shouldn't disappear from the memories of Paradise either—"
The screen flashed.
The pink fairy girl's appearance finally appeared before Mei in perfect clarity.
"You'll keep your promise, won't you?"
"You promised to tell me everything about [Alicia], and everything about the [Thirteenth Herrscher]..."
“Now, I stand before you, so respond to me, Alicia… just like…”
"...just like you've always done."
……
After Mei's "confession" came to an end.
The surrounding white disappeared.
All that could be seen was emptiness.
The girl's lively voice still lingered in my ears, her flawless face was right before my eyes, but...
Mei is simply impossible to piece together into a complete "her".
"...Is my memory fading?"
"Or is it because... I don't know everything about her yet...?"
At this moment, Mei panicked a little.
Mei... Mei-sama!! She, who has always been calm and mature in Paradise, now looks as lost and helpless as a girl.
Immediately afterwards, a strange stinging sensation began to spread deep within her brain.
"Hmm...no!"
"This is... the Herrscher of Erosion...!"
The stinging pain kept coming, relentlessly eroding Mei's spirit.
Even if it cannot be eroded, it should still coexist with it.
Upon seeing this, the players immediately became tense.
The other heroes bought Mei so much time, yet it was still a bit too late?
"No... I can't stop here..."
Mei did not give up.
She covered her head, enduring the stinging pain in her mind, and continued walking forward.
but……
"The door... disappeared?!"
"My memories...are fading away from me?!"
At this point, Mei completely panicked.
The pain in her head intensified, making it almost impossible for her to concentrate on finding a solution.
"No...uh...it shouldn't be like this..."
As everything before your eyes gradually becomes blurry, the images hidden in your heart become even more vivid.
Memories flooded back as she watched the figures of heroes gradually disappear into the distance.
This is a labyrinth with no exit, yet they sacrificed themselves to pave a new path for Mei.
Because at the end of that road lay what she had always sought.
This path wasn't paved by myself alone, of course...
"It shouldn't end here with me...!"
"Ai Li... Shia..."
……
The players were getting increasingly anxious, wishing they could personally donate their brains to Mei in order to bring back Alicia.
Kiana also frowned slightly as she watched.
I hope nothing unexpected happens again...
Suddenly, an incredibly cute and familiar voice rang out, tearing through the void.
"Hi, lovely human, so you've been here all along!"
The moment that incredibly lovely voice appeared, she was a miracle, the miracle that led Mei to the end of that road.
"Fairy Airi!"
At this moment, Mei's vision, which had been blurred by pain, began to clear.
Then, she turned her head to look.
A fairy named Ellie appeared before her, with pink hair, an angelic halo above her head, a pair of tiny wings, and holding a magic wand.
She looked at Mei with those adorable eyes, her smile unchanged.
"Thank goodness I sensed your call to [me], otherwise I don't know how long you would have hidden!"
"Honestly, you all promised to take me with you when you played hide-and-seek! But you all ran away, and we've been looking for you for ages!"
Ellie's voice is incredibly cute, and her angelic entrance melts the hearts of countless people.
"【us】……?"
“That’s right! And I have my helper too, look, she’s right here—”
The fairy Airi happily pointed Mei in a direction.
But before Mei could turn her head, a gentle voice came from behind her.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Mei-san~"
A soft call, like a drop of rain, falls into the white world.
Eden's figure appeared abruptly in front of Mei.
She was still as elegant, noble, and beautiful as ever.
"Miss Mei, please forgive me for not being able to freely traverse your memory space. I have no choice but to ask the fairy Airi to do it for me."
Mei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eden... thank goodness, you're safe and sound."
"So, this was also part of Su's plan?"
Eden nodded gently: "Yes, I am fully aware of everything that happened before."
"And now, of all the [memory units] remaining in Paradise... I'm probably the only one left."
Meiyi: "..."
Upon hearing this news, the image of Sakura involuntarily appeared in her mind.
actually……
Although she had long guessed Sakura's fate, when she actually heard the news, she still couldn't help but feel powerless and guilty.
and……
Even little Gretchen wasn't spared...
"Sorry……"
"It's my fault. If... I could have been faster..."
