[Sparkle: The incident was perfectly resolved. If this good sister ever meets me again, that would be interesting]
After all, Vita only got a small inheritance and some authority. Just thinking about how she could properly tease Vita, Sparkle couldn't help but hum a little tune.
[Vita: Oh, dear sister, you shouldn't speak so carelessly]
[March 7th: It's over already? I feel like I've only watched for a short while]
[Himeko (Astral Express): However, judging solely by the scene in the sky, the battle seemed quite intense, but it lasted for a very short time]
Most people on Earth were familiar with the ins and outs of this matter, as Fu Hua and Seele had written quite clearly in their mission reports.
But the situation in the Star Rail world was diverse, and people naturally had their own thoughts.
And people on Earth had almost never used the power of paths, and only had a half-understanding of them. Only Coralley had once obtained the power of the 'Immortal' Dragonborn.
People from both sides didn't understand each other, and if they really met, collisions would be inevitable.
The meaning of the live stream's existence was also unclear, but how things would ultimately develop was still unknown... In the experimental field of the Schicksal Headquarters, Fu Hua was staring at the second divine key in a daze, recalling the first time she saw Vill-V demonstrate it.
In her dream, she had probably recovered some memories, all of which were crucial parts of her subconscious—about Elysia... about that lost civilization, and the responsibilities and obsessions she carried.
"Lady Fu Hua, are you still going to wait?"
A voice came, it was Rita.
"Lady Theresa just asked me about you."
Fu Hua snapped out of it and looked at Rita:
"Haven't I already found a good reason?"
Rita smiled:
"But Lady Theresa thinks the timing seems a bit off, after all, you usually complete missions very quickly."
"It's alright, I'll go back and explain."
Fu Hua said.
Rita nodded:
"Alright, then I'll take my leave first."
After Rita left, Fu Hua continued to wait in place; she was waiting for Elysia.
After recovering some memories, she felt that things had become even more complicated.
Elysia had used Thousand Worlds Bridge before, so she must have met Su. The old friend she mentioned might have been Kevin... Just as she was thinking, a spatial fluctuation flashed, and the figures of Elysia and Griseo appeared before her.
Fu Hua was slightly startled; what surprised her wasn't Elysia, but Griseo beside her.
"We're back! I knew Hua would be waiting for me here~ ♪"
Elysia said to Fu Hua with a smile.
Fu Hua spoke with some hesitation:
"You two..."
Griseo was also very happy, smiling and greeting:
"Ah, it's Sister Hua, long time no see."
"Is it really... Griseo?"
Fu Hua looked at Griseo. Considering the time, it was normal for Griseo to have grown up a bit, so she wasn't surprised.
What she cared about was how Elysia found Griseo?
"Long time no see, Griseo."
After a long separation, the two hugged gently.
Afterwards, Fu Hua looked at Elysia and Griseo, and asked seriously:
"So, can you explain the whole story to me now?"
Elysia smiled and countered:
"Of course I can, but right now I'd rather know, how much of your memory have you recovered?"
Fu Hua thought for a moment and replied:
"Probably not much, but the parts about you are still very clear."
"Oh, is that so? That's good, that's good."
Elysia said, then pulled Fu Hua and began to explain in detail.
Although this was Schicksal's territory and it was easy for people to overhear, under the current circumstances, there was nothing to worry about...
"Live stream...? System? That's truly hard to imagine."
Fu Hua said thoughtfully after listening.
Griseo also nodded in agreement:
"Yes, I was very surprised at the time too."
Elysia smiled and said:
"But no matter what, the fact that things have developed to this point is also thanks to this system~"
Fu Hua looked at Elysia:
"So... Elysia, what do you plan to do next?"
"Let me think..."
Elysia thought for a moment and replied,
"I'll probably go back to St. Freya to be a teacher first, and after this journey ends... go to the next world? But before that, I still want to take Griseo on a tour around Earth."
Fu Hua nodded:
"Hmm, then so be it. In that case, I can also continue to keep my promise to Otto."
After a long-awaited reunion, they would soon face separation again.
Fu Hua had to return to St. Freya; although her memories were restored, what needed to be done still had to be done.
Elysia took Griseo and left Schicksal. Otto wanted to keep them for a while longer, but Elysia refused.
Before leaving, they also went to see Susannah, who was gathering her friends' approval.
Susannah said she was feeling a bit giddy from everyone's praise, while Elysia encouraged her a few times... Durandal stood there, her gaze falling on Otto, who was seated in the bishop's chair, then moving to the virtual screen in front of Otto.
The screen was playing the scene of Elysia and Griseo leaving.
She had some questions in her heart and couldn't help but ask:
"Bishop, I am very confused."
Otto looked up at her and said calmly:
"I know what you want to ask, but I advise you to put your thoughts aside."
Durandal frowned and pressed:
"Why...?"
"Because that probably... isn't important."
Otto said slowly,
"That's not something we should worry about, Bianca."
Who was Otto?
Even without actual verification, he could feel that Elysia's appearance must have brought about many changes to the current situation.
But the words from that so-called "future self" made him certain that what he had to do would not change at all.
This could also be considered a bit of Otto's private intention, like a thoughtful little reminder to himself.
Therefore, everything else seemed to become less important.
What Elysia did, why there was another blue-haired girl beside her, why she wanted to teach at St. Freya... All these things seemed to cause no ripples.
Seeing Otto say so, Durandal no longer dwelled on it.
She wasn't a brainless person and knew that Otto must have his reasons for saying so, so she nodded:
"I understand."
Otto looked at her, then seemed to say to himself:
"This world is like this; you never know when changes will happen."
"And when changes truly happen, we are often kept in the dark, with no time to react at all. By then, whatever we do seems meaningless; we can only passively accept it."
"Sometimes, you try your best to change something, but in the end, you'll find that you can't change anything at all."
Durandal listened quietly, saying nothing more...
