"Don't worry about it! I won't disappear, because... I'll become one."
"The 'me' that everyone remembers, the 'me' you're so desperately trying to find, is undoubtedly me too!"
So, don't be sad, don't look back, just read 'my' story carefully, okay?
"……good."]
[March 7th]: "It's over, there's obviously more angst coming, and Fairy Airi is going to disappear too."
[Silver Wolf]: "I know there's a knife, but there's no way to avoid it. How many knives have I taken already? Giving up now would be too costly!"
[Qingque]: "Don't let this familiar plot become someone else's so easily!"
[Star]: "Sacrifice little Airi here, evolve! Big Airi!!"
Chapter 295 The Lawyer of Humanity?
"Yes, that's right."
"But now, I have to accept reality..."
"But if that's the case, then what am I?"
The girl said jokingly, "Hmm... let me think, besides being a little bit cuter, a little bit smarter, and a little bit more perfect..."
"I'm no different from ordinary people at all!"
"So... that's it, right?"
"Having the appearance of a human being, and having the qualities of a human being."
"Breathe like a human being, live like a human being."
"Sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, sometimes resilient. Reluctant to let go of yesterday, yet also willing to... let go of the future."
"So my name should be called, right?"
“The Lawyer, the Lawyer.”
"So now... I'm going to do some things... things that only humans do."
For the first time, the girl meticulously applied her makeup and prepared twelve invitations for her companions, intending to attend the final banquet—a banquet that would become known to the world as humanity's final act against the Herrscher.
"If it no longer means, if every Herrscher has the potential to regain it..."
"People wouldn't have to face such difficult choices. Humanity... would have the opportunity to find it."
"For us, it is far more precious than anything else."
The girl hoped that this was her power, that the beauty of humanity was all that mattered.
"Then, at the end of the story, let me take them back to where I was born."
"Then, scatter flower seeds on the parched earth..."
"I believe that since human civilization nurtured me, I can certainly make it happen again..."
"...blooming a flawless and eternal flower."
[Konpeito]: "Because of Alicia's existence, you broke the eternal cycle of the Honkai. It's truly a miracle."
[Raiden Mei]: "That's why I was able to gain consciousness after becoming the Herrscher of Thunder, and that's how our story began."
[Honkai Iron Welt]: "Therefore, the power of the Herrscher can be passed down, allowing the will of heroes to be passed down to this day..."
[Herrscher of the Void]: "So that's how it is... So that's how it is...? If that's the case, then what is the meaning of my existence!?"
[Alicia]: "Of course, we should live a good life! Sirin, have a good talk with Kiana. You've already experienced the beauty of humanity, haven't you?"
Kiana: "Sister Sirin, let's have a good talk. Let's go together and rescue Bella!"
[Herrscher of the Void]: "..."
With constant communication in the chat group, how could Kiana's true identity possibly be kept secret? But with Welt from the future, Durandal and Siegfried all present, and even the Herrscher of Knowledge able to keep the pufferfish in check.
Not to mention, there was Alicia, whom no one could refuse, providing remote guidance. Kiana was only in a daze for a moment. After all, her feelings for Mei and the others were genuine, weren't they?
But the Herrscher of the Void is a different story. Otto is still alive and kicking, and all the suffering Sirin endured is etched into her memory. Even if she wanted to lash out, she couldn't defeat the Herrscher of the Void, let alone trigger the Great Collapse.
There's also Alicia in the group constantly trying to comfort her. Although she's still a bit awkward, she's starting to change towards A-Quan.
(How can I possibly lose with such a perfect start!)
"It's just some rhetoric! The content is all true, I promise you!"
Mei shook her head: "Of course, I won't doubt you anymore."
"What I see is your true self. All the things you've said along the way have been expressions of your true feelings, haven't they?"
"Just like those twelve invitations that never got sent, you're afraid... I can't accept the truth about you."
[Theresa]: "In the future, Mei has grown a lot. Compared to when she first entered Paradise, Mei now looks much stronger."
[Sakura]: "In the end, Airi is still worried that we can't accept her. That's so typical of Airi—so anxious and insecure."
[Padofilis]: "Sister Aili, do you think your method of disguising yourself as a doll is very clever? To those who know you, it's as obvious as day."
Kiana: "The moment Mei threw away the invitation, Alicia was so scared that she really thought Mei didn't accept her!"
[Eden]: "It's rare to see Ellie looking surprised."
【Kosmo】: "...It's always Ellie who teases others."
Chapter 296 Hi, did you miss me?
"Just a small part, the one you were the first to awaken."
"So now, I can finally disappear without worry and become Mei."
Airi's figure became blurry and gradually disappeared. Seeing Mei's obvious disappointment, Airi suggested:
"However, isn't there a more appropriate way to say goodbye?"
"For example, the opposite of the wake word... the fairy administrator's shut-off word."
"Mei is so smart, she must be able to guess it, right?"
This time, Mei showed neither reluctance nor shyness, but rather spoke with a mixture of reluctance and anticipation for their next meeting:
"Yes, goodbye... my dear Alicia."
Finally, she stepped onto the last step.
(Once I cross this door, I will no longer be just one person.)
(Instead, we should step into her story from her perspective.)
"Of course, I'll be ready when I arrive."
“Come on, Alicia, show me everything.”
"And all of...."
[Star]: "This is the last one. See you later, my dear Alicia."
Kiana: "See you later, my dear Alicia."
[Silver Wolf]: "Sweet, so sweet! Mei and Airi are saying goodbye here, but they will meet again in the future. This is so sweet!"
[Firefly]: "Silver Wolf, can you be serious for once?"
[March 7th]: "Look, even the internet-addicted girl from Star Core Hunter has gone insane!"
[Fireworks]: "What kind of light screen is this? It's really harmful to people!!"
"Maybe I can do better—the next second, the Honkai will completely disappear from this world."
"But it's also possible... nothing will happen."
But for those who fought to the death and for everyone she loved, Ellie still wanted to give it a try.
Mei did not deny it, but still reminded Ellie that we still know nothing about the Honkai.
The so-called 'Honkai,' 'Herrscher,' 'End'... are ultimately just words created by moths chasing the flame, merely a description of the current situation by humankind.
"But this is just speculation, not the essence of things."
The so-called "god" does not exist. In Alicia's perception, what awaits her is only a being waiting to be reborn.
Everything I have experienced in the past was neither a judgment nor a trial... but simply a one-time event.
But for humans, this kind of hug is a bit too painful.
[Tesla]: "Damn it, okay, we really do know nothing about the Honkai."
[Chang Guang]: "Under the guidance of Bishop Otto, most of our research on the nature of Honkai was conducted on the basis of Honkai consciousness."
[Theresa]: "No, there really was no Honkai consciousness. Then what did Grandpa see back then, and what consciousness did Mei encounter back then?"
[Herrscher of the Void]: "If the essence of Honkai is an embrace of humanity, then what was it when I heard it was God?"
[Fu Xuan]: "This means... the previous civilization tampered with that so-called cocoon!"
[Möbius]: "Why do you think you are exactly the same as the Herrschers of our time, in terms of the collapse of civilization's evolution?"
【Konpeito】: "The Herrschers born from our civilization are almost completely different from those on Earth."
A faint light appeared in the distance.
That gentle, familiar, and somewhat nostalgic light.
The blessings from the heroes to Ellie, carried by the light, gradually reached her ears.
It's as if it's calling out to someone, as if it's commemorating someone, as if it's telling someone's name, as if it's singing someone's story.
--why?
In the end, she will stand on the opposite side of humanity, passing away as a human, leaving the stage to the people she loves most—as it should be.
But why...
Finally, the person surrounded by everyone and standing under the spotlight... was it really him?
And why...
These memories, which should have faded with time... still exist here?
“Because I’m here.”
Mei's voice rang out, accompanied by the twinkling light of the twelve stars around her.
"Because I will remember."
"Because your origins, your journey, every little detail of your life, are remembered by the people you love..."
"Spanning tens of thousands of years, it will forever remain here."
Eden said, "Yes, because—we still remember."
Aponia said, "Our lives are intertwined, our memories are connected."
Möbius said, "Hmph, what a strange name."
Qianjie said, "It's too long. I can't remember it."
Pado said, "But it's a very nice name! It sounds like it belongs to a big client!"
As the heroes offered their blessings one by one, Mei concluded the ceremony:
"...What a fitting name for you."
"It is both yesterday's and tomorrow's."
“You really created it, didn’t you? A paradise named after you, Alicia’s paradise… Look, it’s right here.”
"An era that belongs to us."
"This is the story you started."
"This is also the stage I'm presenting to you."
"Just like before, answer my call once more..."
"...Alicia."
