[Elysia is so flaky. As expected, pink is always black inside.]

[Elysia's attitude towards Raven feels subtly different compared to Mei. She seems to treat Mei better. Lavishing attention for no reason—she must be trying to get something from Mei.]

[Elysia has been with us through so many days and nights in the Elysian Realm, and you're still doubting her?]

[Doubt? This is just rational analysis.]

As the main story progressed, players became more and more curious about Elysia's true nature.

In the story, though Raven remained cold, Elysia's enthusiasm was undiminished.

After all, not knowing before was one thing. But now that Elysia knew, how could she miss out on such an adorable girl like Raven?

"See, once the misunderstanding was cleared up, I immediately came to see you, didn't I? I'm also working hard to make up for my little mistake."

"I know, you're just like Mei, and just like me—gentle, kind, beautiful, and adorable—so forgive me, won't you? Please?"

Facing the sudden appearance of the choices [Okay.], [No way!], Kiana blinked.

"Elysia isn't even hiding her face-con tendencies? She really appeared just because Raven took off her hat?"

After thinking it over, and considering Raven's personality, Kiana chose [No way!].

Elysia said, "Oh my, such a stubborn child. At times like this, you must follow your heart. Relax, and listen carefully to your inner voice, okay?"

And then...

Two new options appeared on screen: [Okay.], [Okay!]

Kiana was slightly stunned by the sight of these options.

Her hand hovered between the two. This... this... did she really have a choice?

In the end, she could only pick one at random.

Elysia immediately beamed, "Thank you! I knew you liked me best."

"Well then, let me offer you some sincere blessings to express my feelings."

With that, she gave all her Signets to Raven.

"You see, you're super close friends with Mei, and I'm also super close friends with Mei—so of course, we can become very good, very close friends too."

With Elysia's maneuvering, even though Raven had "forgiven" her earlier out of necessity, she now felt a bit complicated.

Players also sighed in their hearts—this woman's charm was simply unbeatable.

[Hey, I just realized the Elysian Realm is full of "-ya" names. Elysia (Xiya), Mei (Ya-yi), Raven (Duya)—all end with "ya" in Chinese.]

[Elysian Realm yaya-fun, three yas, hilarious hhhh]

[The cheerful atmosphere of the Realm is so addictive. I hope MiHoYo keeps up the good work and makes the Elysian Realm story even better.]

"Heh... everyone rest assured, the upcoming Elysian Realm plot will definitely not be bland." Hokuto sounded very confident.

"Mm-hmm, even if you don't trust 'Otto'-san, you must trust Elysia. With Elysia around, how could the story be dull?"

Elysia chimed in beside him.

"Isn't that right, 'Otto'-san?"

"With Elysia in the story, it certainly won't be bland. However..." Hokuto paused, "The Realm is ultimately the story of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, not Elysia's solo show. I'd rather each of them have their own moments to impress the players."

His words immediately sparked a heated discussion among the viewers.

Meanwhile, Kiana continued controlling Raven, now fully empowered with Elysia's Signets, pressing forward.

During the journey, Raven passed by a shop and was drawn to a pendant on display.

As she leaned in for a closer look, a strange cat suddenly appeared and snatched the pendant away.

Raven tried to communicate with the cat to retrieve it, but as someone not adept with small animals, she failed—predictably.

Meanwhile, players were discussing something odd.

[This cat's voice sounds really familiar.]

[Yeah, feels like I've heard it somewhere before.]

[Actually... doesn't it sound a bit like Theresa's voice?]

Seeing this barrage of comments, Elysia revealed the truth.

"You're not wrong. The voice of Canned is indeed dubbed by Theresa. 'Otto'-san specifically requested it."

['Otto' had Theresa voice a cat, haha. I can imagine Theresa's expression upon hearing this.]

[A forty-something old nun forced to act cute (lol).]

[Enough already!! Do you want to know a hundred ways to use the Oath of Judah?!]

The players' chatter didn't stop Kiana from progressing the story.

To retrieve the pendant, Raven followed Pardofelis, eventually getting transported to a malfunctioning area.

It was pitch black, as if someone had flipped the switch.

There, Raven encountered the third Flame-Chaser, Aponia of the Shackles of Discipline.

Soon after, she was influenced by Aponia and lost consciousness deep within the Elysian Realm.

With Raven just "sacrificed"—no, just fainted—

Mei returned to the Elysian Realm at that moment.

She first found Kevin and learned from him that the Previous Era didn't have a concept of the "Will of Honkai."

This surprised her.

Players were also puzzled, feeling that the "Will of Honkai" might not be as straightforward as they thought.

[Seems like the Previous Era didn't really understand Honkai? They didn't even know about the Will of Honkai?]

[No, I think... just like how Herrschers in the Current Era can turn against Honkai, the difference between the Previous and Current Eras' encounters with Honkai must be significant.]

[Then the question is, why is there such a difference?]

[Good question! But, I don't know either. (doge)]

After leaving Kevin, Mei returned to the lounge.

There, she encountered a rather drunk Eden.

Her drunken voice sounded irresistibly seductive.

Mei chatted with the tipsy Eden and learned from her that Raven had been with Elysia.

Feeling uneasy, Mei quickly sought out Elysia.

But she found Elysia fretting over having lost track of Raven.

In other words, Raven had gone missing?

Upon learning this, Mei decided to venture into the Elysian Realm to search for Raven.

After some searching, she found one of Raven's arrow feathers.

But that alone wasn't enough to deduce why Raven had suddenly "disappeared."

She could only return to ask the others for more clues.

As Mei stepped back into the main hall, she heard Elysia's voice.

"Testing, one two three, testing, one two three..."

"Ah! Mei, you're back!"

Ahem~~

She cleared her throat and raised her voice, shouting through a loudspeaker: "The Mei who flattened Mobius is back~!"

Kiana and the audience couldn't help but burst out laughing, even though they were long used to Elysia's antics.

[Iconic scene +1]

[Mobius: Do you even have manners?]

[Isn't Elysia afraid Mobius will hear this?]

[Maybe Elysia is doing it on purpose, just to see Mobius puff up with anger but be unable to do anything about it.]

[This pinkie is just too flaky (lol).]

Though the audience was already thoroughly entertained, the fun wasn't over.

In the story, Elysia gleefully introduced Mei to the little loudspeaker she had traded from Pardofelis for three Crystal Flowers.

"Durable, crystal-clear sound, and super sweet voice—absolutely perfect for promoting our strong and adorable Mei, right?"

"Look, it even has a recording function. Just press here and it plays automatically—"

The loudspeaker's recording played: "Ah... I really want to touch her horns... so curious, so curious!"

Just when players thought the previous scene was already iconic, this line elevated it to "classic" status.

[??? Hahahahaha, as expected of you.]

[Why hasn't the Elysian Realm been made into an animation yet? These daily antics are hilarious.]

[I'm a staunch Kiana x Mei supporter! Raven is fine, but Elysia is the real yuri bomb! Pinkie, stay away from Mei.]

[Relax, there's no way Mei would agree to let Elysia touch her horns. We must have faith in the Queen of Thunder.]
