"The 'me' that everyone remembers, the 'me' you're trying so hard to find—without a doubt, that's me too~"

So, don't be sad, don't look back, just read through [my] story, okay?

Meiyi: "..."

audience:"……"

Although I was comforted, I felt even more upset.

This adorable fairy Airi is destined to be killed...

Mei, however, knew that the fairy Airi in front of her was actually the "me" she was referring to.

The real fairy, Airi... has probably long since become a part of [Arisia], just like Eden...

But... Mei still felt very sad inside.

"Don't worry! I'll stay with you until I disappear completely, after all, I've always known that lovely humans are very afraid of being lonely~"

……

Outside the game.

Hearing the fairy Airi's adorable voice, Kiana hugged the fairy Airi tightly in her arms.

"Oh dear~ you adorable human, you're hugging me too tight, Fairy Airi can't breathe~"

The sound from her arms made Kiana's heart skip a beat. She immediately lifted the fairy Airi up with worry and apologized repeatedly.

"Ah...yes, I'm sorry, are you alright?"

At that moment, she forgot that this was just an intelligent doll belonging to the fairy Ellie.

"Hmph~ Fairy Airi forgives you~ But don't do it again next time~"

So cute, so heartwarming.

Kiana couldn't resist pulling the fairy Airi into her arms again, rubbing her face against hers.

This scene filled the viewers in the live stream with envy.

This previous plot point made the fairy Ellie even more likable.

Add to that the intelligence that Fairy Airi unintentionally revealed during the live stream...

The big spenders and celebrities in the live stream couldn't resist anymore.

They showered the girl with gifts and sent out numerous eye-catching comments, expressing their willingness to pay any price to buy the fairy Airi from Kiana's arms.

Unfortunately, Kiana refused almost without thinking.

This once again disappointed those nouveau riche celebrities.

However, Mei did bring them some good news.

"If you really like Fairy Airi..."

"In a while, the flagship phone that [Jade Mirror] will collaborate with our miHoYo will also have a design featuring the fairy Airi."

"It has the Fairy Airi voice assistant built-in."

Upon hearing this, the players all came to their senses.

Yes...

You can't buy the real fairy Airi, but you can settle for a phone with a voice assistant!

These phones are a bit pricey, but ordinary people can still afford them if they grit their teeth and spend a little more.

After Mei said that, several more large donation animations immediately appeared in the live stream.

At this moment, the players' attention was focused on the two words "Jade Mirror".

Immediately afterwards, the barrage of comments was filled with people urging the release of the "Jade Mirror" as soon as possible.

The Jade Mirror also obliged, actively drawing players' attention back to the game's storyline.

……

"Alright, lovely humans~"

"After this, Alicia will face her own end, that final [banquet]. Look... she has already extended an [invitation] to you."

Guided by the fairy Airi, Mei saw the night before the "banquet".

Alicia seemed to have lost her usual vitality.

She sat quietly alone in her room, carefully sorting through the twelve invitations.

And Alicia's voice slowly rose along with the mournful piano music.

"After that, I thought about it for a long time."

"Shouldn't I actually be a [Herrscher]?"

"This is only natural; otherwise, many things would be inexplicable."

"Although I still held onto a little bit of wishful thinking... after all, I'm different from other Herrschers; I wasn't transformed from a human, but rather appeared out of thin air."

"But now, I have to accept reality..."

Although her voice was still lively, it was easy to hear the disappointment and sadness beneath her "optimistic" demeanor.

"But if that's the case, then what are my [powers]?"

"Hmm...let me think about it..."

"Besides being a little bit cuter, a little bit smarter, and a little bit more perfect..."

"I'm no different from ordinary people!"

Even with the facts confirmed, Alicia still subconsciously leans her identity toward that of a "human".

"..."

"So... this is the answer, right?"

"Possessing human appearance and human qualities"

"Sometimes joyful, sometimes sorrowful, sometimes lost, sometimes resilient; reluctant to let go of yesterday, yet also willing to... let go of the future."

"So my name should be called 'Herrscher of Humanity'?"

　(Zhao Hao) "The law-abiding authority of humanity, the law-abiding authority of humankind"

……

The final banquet she had prepared for herself finally arrived.

She will conclude with humanity's victorious defeat of the Herrschers, becoming known to the world and enduring in history.

However, the invitation she prepared for the 12th was never sent out.

Twelve letters...

Even though Sakura is no longer here, she still prepared her own share.

"If being a Herrscher no longer means farewell, if every Herrscher has the possibility of regaining their humanity..."

"People will no longer have to face such difficult choices, and humanity... will have the opportunity to find hope."

"For us, it is far more precious than victory."

"Therefore, if humanity is my power, if the beauty of humanity is the entirety of Alicia's being."

"Then, at the end of the story, let me take them back to the place where I was born."

"Then, scatter flower seeds on the parched earth..."

Finally, the flawless and eternal flower of humanity blooms.

PS: The transitional chapters are finally over. A lot of dialogue was cut, but I didn't expect to still write 2 chapters.

Alicia will be released tomorrow, and the Paradise storyline is finally almost over QAQ

In the initial outline, I originally planned to finish writing the Paradise storyline and then complete the book after the concert.

But the book is doing well now, and miHoYo has also finished writing the first part of Honkai Impact 3, so I plan to keep writing.

However... it seems that everyone is not entirely satisfied with the ending of Honkai Impact 3rd. I need to see if I can change it myself, such as changing it back to the previous "Sea of ​​Trees" setting.

After the Paradise arc ends, the book's pace may temporarily return to its previous everyday rhythm.

Chapter 380 Hi~ Did you miss me?

That wasn't a banquet at all.

It was a mission, a mission to defeat the Thirteenth Herrscher.

However, Alicia turned it into a banquet because she wanted her ending to be beautiful and dazzling.

But she was also afraid that her truth would not be accepted, afraid that this huge lie would hurt the people she cherished, afraid that everything she loved would... vanish into nothingness.

So, those invitations she had carefully prepared... were never sent out.

In the end, she willingly left this world bearing the name of the "Thirteenth Herrscher".
