Chapter 379 A young girl’s first coming of age
"So... this is your childhood, Ellie?"
"But, Ellie, did you really not add too much embellishment? It's more like a fairy tale than a memoir."
Alicia: "Haha, Alicia's stories, of course, have to be fairy tales~"
……
In Eden's memory, under a dreamlike, beautiful, and sparkling starry sky, Alicia tells her about her childhood.
As she said, Alicia's childhood was like a fairy tale.
However, beneath the gentle smile of the protagonist in this fairy tale lies regret and sorrow.
Eden: "..."
Even if Alicia hid it well, how could Eden, as her confidant and best friend, not notice?
"Ellie, are you... saying goodbye to us?"
Eden's elegant and mature voice also carried a deep sense of reluctance.
"...Really, nothing escapes your notice, Eden."
Alicia smiled as usual.
But even someone as cheerful as her seemed to be forcing a smile at this moment.
I think so.
"Mei, she wasn't wrong... at least, she wasn't wrong about the most important point."
"Maybe……"
"I..." Alicia seemed hesitant to say the rest.
Her breathing was rapid, and she sounded like she was about to cry.
"Phew..." She took a deep breath.
"Perhaps, I really am a... [Herrscher]..."
"..."
After a while, Alicia regained her composure.
"I...I knew this day would come sooner or later..."
While carefully observing Eden's expression, she feigned nonchalance and said:
"So it's okay, I've already thought about what to do next."
Eden: "..."
"That's it"
She just smiled and didn't say anything else.
They were not shocked that Alicia was a Herrscher, nor did they suddenly distance themselves from her.
It was as if I had heard some very ordinary gossip, and I just laughed it off.
The two were speechless for a moment.
After a long pause, Alicia finally spoke hesitantly:
"Eden...I'm sorry."
Almost instantly, Eden turned his head, chuckled, and looked at Alicia.
"It's okay, Ellie."
She didn't give Alicia a chance to say what she had to say.
"I understand how deeply you love this world, and how deeply you love the people in your heart."
"That's why I can understand the difficult choices you went through before making this decision..."
"And under what circumstances, against their will, did they have no choice but to choose this path?"
Therefore, I will definitely stay with you until the very end.
"As for the [truth]... that's not important to me. I'll reveal it when you want it to."
"No matter what you've been hiding, I believe... you're still my dearest friend Alicia, still the one who cherishes and protects the beauty of the world."
"That's enough, isn't it?"
……
If the previous memory could be considered "joyful"...
This conversation with Eden then shifted the game's atmosphere in an emo direction.
This was the first time players had ever seen Alicia so uneasy and frightened.
How heartbroken Alicia must have been when she realized she was a Herrscher...
Mingming created so many wonderful memories and deep friendships with so many people.
But in the end, her true identity turned out to be that of humanity's enemy—a Herrscher.
What a tremendous amount of resolve it must have taken for her to make that decision—to play the villain in order to unite all the surviving humans...
And the same.
When they discovered that the heroes refused to attack because they trusted Ellie, and also attended the banquet because they trusted Ellie...
The players were secretly happy for Alicia.
I was moved by the mutual trust among these heroes.
……
At this point, the players had completely forgotten that this was a story.
When they considered any point, they treated Alicia and the others as real "human beings".
The comments section no longer features phrases like "Mihoyo is awesome" or "The plot is really well written."
All I can say is that the portrayal of the Thirteen Heroes was truly a great success.
Even though the heroes are dead, and even though the Paradise storyline has ended, their images will live on forever in the hearts of the players.
Meanwhile, the number of large-amount reward effects in the live stream also exploded at this time.
Such situations are not uncommon in miHoYo's live streams.
However, the names of those who made large donations were all quite familiar.
It has the official account of a certain game company.
Some fans idolize certain celebrities or goddesses.
There are also internet celebrities with tens of millions of followers, or wealthy tycoons in the live streaming world.
However, the familiar images of accounts giving rewards couldn't steer the barrage of comments away from the intended message.
The surging, scrolling barrage of comments was basically all—
[I will always love Alicia] [Eden Eden...] [Waaaaah...] [Fairy Alicia is so cute]...
These are bullet comments related to Honkai Impact 3.
Perhaps those people wanted to make an appearance in a live stream with millions of viewers.
It's also possible that they were simply moved by the story and thus gave a gift to vent their complicated feelings.
But no matter what.
These female celebrities, idols, internet celebrities, and wealthy tycoons are just ordinary passersby in front of the viewers in this live stream.
……
At this moment, Mei and the fairy Airi in the game have finally finished reading Eden's Memories.
"Finally, she found out the answer... right?"
"But... what a heartbreaking answer..."
As she said this, the fairy Ellie's figure suddenly flickered, and then her form seemed to become somewhat blurry.
Meiyi: "!!"
She paused for a moment.
“Fairy Ellie…you…”
"Oops... I've been discovered. I think I've become a little transparent?"
As she spoke, the fairy Ellie also looked down at her own body.
Then, she smiled nonchalantly: "Think about it, the 'me' here was originally a vessel of memories, formed from [Yingjie's longing for Alicia]."
And now, this longing is transforming into your feelings.
So, don't worry too much! I won't disappear, because... I'll become [me] again~
