What happened later was much more uneventful.
Elysia took Griseo to St. Freya, and when she returned to Forlorn, she also stopped by the Sea of Quanta to see Kevin of this era.
However, Kevin was still the same; he didn't say much or offer any opinions from beginning to end.
After that, Elysia continued to work as a teacher at St. Freya, living a peaceful and fulfilling life.
Until this day, Elysia and Himeko had become quite familiar with each other.
Taking advantage of their free time, the two agreed to go for a few drinks together.
In the bar, Himeko swirled the amber liquid in her glass, looked at Elysia, and asked,
"So, Elysia, you just arrived not long ago, and now you're leaving already?"
Elysia smiled, her tone tinged with helplessness:
"Oh dear, it's a job transfer, you see. I'm actually quite reluctant to leave you all. Sigh, I wonder if the students will be sad when they hear I'm leaving~"
Himeko took a sip of her drink and said,
"Come back and visit if you get the chance. Who knows, they might start making a fuss looking for you one day."
"Mhm~ If I get the chance, I'll definitely come back to see everyone."
Elysia nodded, but her mind involuntarily recalled the prompt that had popped up from the system earlier.
[The first live broadcast has been completed. The live broadcast screen has been closed. After a one-day stay, you will return to the system space for the next live broadcast.]
[Ding! Settlement in progress...]
[Considering various factors, the reward for this live broadcast is 100,000 Wonderful Affection Points.]
[You have unlocked an exclusive skill — Gift of Destiny.]
[Gift of Destiny]
[Skill Description: Beauty and miracles coexist. Destiny has already written the price for you. Consume 1000 Wonderful Affection Points to condense a Destiny Crystal, which can be given to others to bind and use.]
[Effect: Perhaps it will have an effect? It might even trigger a miracle.]
[Note: The effect depends on the situation. Gifting is not limited to people or objects.]
The description of this new skill was quite vague, but Elysia thought that if it was truly useful, she would certainly be willing to give a few more to her friends. Who knows when it might come in handy?
Moreover, the first live broadcast immediately rewarded her with 100,000 Wonderful Affection Points, which meant she could invite a few more friends to play together for the next live broadcast. Just thinking about it made her happy... After three rounds of drinks, the two clinked glasses, having drunk quite a bit without realizing it.
Elysia's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she suddenly asked Himeko:
"Teacher Himeko, do you have any wishes?"
"Wishes?"
Himeko was startled, clearly not expecting Elysia to ask this, and was momentarily taken aback.
"Yes, like something you want to do, or a wish you've always kept in your heart?"
Elysia asked again.
Himeko put down her wine glass, lowered her head in thought, then smiled and said,
"Wishes, huh... I used to want to graduate from university successfully and then go build spaceship... Now, I just want to teach my students well and guide them properly."
Elysia blinked at her words:
"Is that so? It seems Teacher Himeko is also a person with a story~"
Himeko waved her hand, saying indifferently:
"They're all just trivial matters not worth mentioning."
Then, she raised an eyebrow and looked at Elysia:
"Elysia, your story shouldn't be simple either, should it?"
"Is it?"
Elysia feigned a relaxed smile,
"I'm just an ordinary girl~ ♪"
Himeko looked at her, pulling at the corner of her mouth:
"...Ha, who knows?"
The two exchanged smiles; some things didn't need to be said explicitly, they both understood.
"Hey, why are you two teachers drinking here?"
A slightly angry voice came from behind them; it was Theresa.
Elysia turned around and smiled, waving:
"Oh dear, isn't this School principal Theresa? Would you like to join us for a drink?"
Theresa quickly waved her hands:
"No, no, hurry up and go back!"
Himeko also put down her glass and said softly:
"Mmm... School principal, just this once, it won't happen again."
"I know, I know..."
Theresa sighed,
"Considering that Teacher Elysia is leaving soon, I'll let it slide this time. Go back, as long as you haven't drunk too much. I've already informed Kiana and the others, they've prepared a farewell party for you."
"Wow, there's even a farewell party? I'm so touched~"
Upon hearing this, Elysia immediately perked up, clapped her hands, and quickly pulled Himeko and Theresa to run back.
At the moment of parting, the activity room at St. Freya was lively and warm.
Elysia looked at Kiana, Fu Hua, and the others before her, feeling very emotional.
"Oh dear, I'm really leaving, aren't I? I somehow feel a bit reluctant, and a bit sentimental."
Elysia said softly.
Kiana asked with some reluctance:
"Teacher Elysia, can't you stay a little longer?"
After all, such a good teacher who often played with them was truly rare.
"Oh dear, it can't be helped~"
Elysia patted Kiana's head,
"All good things must come to an end."
She paused, then added:
"By the way, Kiana, I have something I want to tell you~"
Kiana's eyes lit up:
"Eh? What is it?"
"Haha, it's something a bit more formal, of course~"
Elysia cleared her throat and said seriously,
"Listen to me, although you usually seem a bit clumsy, I've always known that you're a kind and enthusiastic good child, and also very smart and considerate. In the future, use your clever little brain more often, and many problems can actually be easily solved~ ♪"
Kiana was a bit embarrassed by the praise and awkwardly rubbed her head:
"Mhm, thank you, Teacher, I'll remember that!"
Elysia then looked at Bronya:
"And Bronya, too. How should I put it, Bronya, you should also be happier in the future. If you have anything on your mind, remember to talk to your good friends. And, you must trust them, and trust yourself, got it?"
Actually, Elysia also wanted to mention Seele, but knowing that Bronya was still unaware, she thought it best to let her discover it herself later.
Bronya nodded seriously:
"Bronya understands, Teacher Elysia."
She thought for a moment, then added:
"Teacher Elysia is very good at games. Can we still play online together in the future?"
"Oh dear, well, that depends on whether I have time to go online~"
Elysia said with a smile.
Then, her gaze fell upon Mei. For this girl who would know their past stories in the future, Elysia's heart was filled with admiration—gentle and kind, astute and brave, these beautiful qualities were almost all manifested in her.
"As for Mei, I'm quite at ease~"
Elysia said with a smile,
"Kiana and Bronya, I'll have to rely on you to take good care of them from now on."
Raiden Mei nodded solemnly:
"Mhm, I understand."
Kiana immediately shouted:
"I'll protect Mei too!"
Bronya also followed suit:
"Bronya will also protect the important people."
"Oh dear, that's wonderful! You must be good friends for life~"
Elysia said, clapping her hands happily.
Finally, she looked at Fu Hua:
"Hua, you also need to keep up the good work~"
Fu Hua didn't speak, she just nodded silently.
Some things don't need many words; she wouldn't do any less of what needed to be done.
