Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Achoo! Who's insulting me?! Bella!!!"

In a corner of paradise, the purple-haired doll sneezed violently and began to call out to a dragon girl who had been assigned to its side.

"Your Majesty? Is there something you need...?"

Bella, her face smeared with face paint, emerged somewhat disheveled from a corner...

The trembling body and the lingering fear in her lifeless eyes quickly made the Sirin doll realize the predicament her dragon maid had been in.

"Bella... my dear Bella—what did they draw this time? Are you all alright???"

The little doll flew to Bella's side and nuzzled against the dragon maid's horns, trying to replenish Bella's strange Sirin energy... and of course—the effect was outstanding.

Benares, who had lost all hope for the future, regained his lifeless eyes and became lively again after rubbing against the Sirin doll.

"Hehehe—Your Majesty, my Queen—!!!"

"Disgusting! Bella, your face is covered in paint! Don't come any closer!!!"

The Sirin doll, supporting herself with her hands, became excited from replenishing her "Sirin Energy." Suddenly, she remembered a private conversation between a certain blonde goddess and that white guy:

Although dragons are essentially Honkai Beasts, they still cannot escape certain classic dragon-related laws.

[The Dragon Law – Snow, what is it?]

Greed, love of money, lust, lust, and more lust—and that little fellow Benares...

Her greed and love of money only serve to reinforce her ultimate lust, lust, and more lust—so Kiana, you must never let that dragon girl taste even the slightest bit of sweetness...

[As soon as she catches a whiff of it, she'll demand it even more relentlessly... and you simply can't refuse, or find it difficult to refuse—]

[Beware of fire, theft, and Bella?]

[If you're planning to cheat on Mei with someone else, you don't need to worry about it...]

The flashback ended—and the Sirin doll suddenly understood why that white guy had been so kind as to give Bella to his own piece...

"Fine—you white-haired bastard, you let this perverted dragon girl into my place, huh...!!!"

"Little Sirin—help me!!!"

It seems the Sirin doll has no intention of continuing its strange relationship with Benares—it's impossible to fit it in, no matter how you look at it!

The instinct to protect one's purity had now surpassed the fear of certain unspeakable things, seemingly calling forth the offspring of those ineffable beings...

"..."

The cries for help from the Sirin doll went unanswered, or rather, they went unanswered by the "dreamer" Sirin.

The strange creatures that came at the sound plunged the entire paradise area into complete silence.

It was a giant bat wing flapping rhythmically, a tamed and trained winged creature, a hybrid of a chimera and something similar...

Even compared to crows, moles, vultures, ants, or rotting human corpses, they are completely different things—

Only when the doll Sirin tried to examine the prototypes of these creatures could she notice the strange white and ice-blue colors smeared crookedly on their surfaces, proving the origin of these bizarre life forms—

Benares, the dragon of the Sirin family.

[I can't remember, and I absolutely cannot remember—if I do, I'll never be able to look Bella in the eye again!]

"You bunch of 'great' painters—how did you manage to paint Bella like this?! ...

The doll Sirin wailed as she watched the Byakki, a creation of the ancient gods who was more like a follower of the Old Gods than Benares, grin at her before falling into a coma.

As the mournful cries finally reached them, Sirin, Gretchen, and their guardian Kosmo stared in bewilderment at the foaming doll on the ground. Sirin and Benares, who was terrified and whose genetic mutation was unknown, tilted their heads in shock.

"Gresh, Gresh, what happened to them... why did they all faint??"

"Gresch thinks... they must have seen Sirin and Gresch's painting...?"

The blue-haired little girl tilted her head, somewhat confused, and looked at the doll and the dragon girl on the ground, seemingly wondering why they were reacting so strongly.

"Kosmo, Kosmo—is there something wrong with our painting?"

The two puzzled young painters looked at the boy who had come with them...

"........"

"Cool—"

What could Kosmo say? All Kosmo could say was "cool." Could he say it wasn't good-looking? Making a cute little girl cry would get you beaten up if you went out; but knocking out a puppet carrying the consciousness of a Herrscher and a Judgment-class Honkai Beast would obviously not get you held accountable.

Even worse, some people might come over for a laugh and loudly mock the two unconscious guys...

—The hero of Asahi, Lord Kosmo decisively chose the former between the two, proving once again the unchanging truth that loli is justice.... Moreover, although these monsters drawn do look scary... upon closer inspection, they do have an extra sense of coolness.

So, there shouldn't be any problem with Cool, right?

The boy touched his conscience and nodded firmly.

"Cirin, Sirin—Kosmo said there's nothing wrong with our painting—and it's very cool?"

Gretchen, having received Kosmo's reply, looked at Sirin, who was also waiting for a response.

"Sigh... then why did they faint?"

Xilin looked at the two people still lying on the ground with some confusion. The doll that could foam at the mouth was beyond the comprehension of the "imaginary artist" child.

"And...why do dolls foam at the mouth?"

"Mr. Kosmo—do you know why?"

Unable to comprehend what had happened, Sirin and Gretchen looked at the young man beside them once again.

“…”

The young man, who was being given high hopes by the two adorable children, felt immense pressure at this moment—he had never felt this kind of pressure when he once fought against the Herrscher of the End. No, he now wished he could switch places with a certain magician and have a silent contest of skill with the Herrscher of the End.

"She probably... ran into some kind of accident, right? Wasn't she just calling our names for help?"

"Then let's go find Dr. Sue and Aponia's mom!!"...

*Get up early, good morning!* *Give me some votes!*

I love you! (Backstab!)

Eternal Paradise: Chapter 404 Forbidden Land of Paradise

"Hey, did you guys hear a scream? It sounds like someone's calling for help."

"It sounds like it's coming from a distance?"

At the entrance to Paradise, Miss End and Raiden Mei, their misunderstanding cleared up, walked side by side down the passageway, touring the paradise.

Miss Wilvi, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, as if she had heard something—after finally confirming what it was, she turned to look at the two people behind her.

"sound?"

Raiden Mei, who had been staring curiously at the Herrscher of the End who looked exactly like her Kiana, tilted her head in confusion, seemingly not paying attention to her surroundings before.

"Hmm, over there—someone's calling for help... um... and there's a Judgment-class Honkai Beast nearby?"

Miss End nodded and pointed in a certain direction—

"Uh... Miss End? Are you sure it's that direction...?"

Upon seeing the direction the white-haired Herrscher pointed, Velvet's face instantly turned ashen...

"Yes, is there anything strange about that place? I seem to sense the presence of an agent belonging to His Majesty Yuri Zang there?"

The Herrscher of the End nodded firmly, awaiting Velvet's reply.

"Yuri-zang... does that golden god have such a name? It sounds a bit strange."

After muttering a few words to herself, Velvet quickly looked up at Miss End and Raiden Mei, who were waiting for her answer.

"Cough cough cough... Miss Mei, you probably haven't been in that direction either, have you?"

The great magician glanced at Mei and confirmed it.

"That's right... Last time I wanted to explore it, but Alicia stopped me... It seems you don't intend to let me know the secret of that place?"

Mei nodded, looking at Vervie with some confusion...

“If it were before… we would really welcome you to visit Gretchen, and the girl is actually quite likable.”

Vervi gave a somewhat embarrassed look.

"Before? It sounds like something changed? That place became a restricted area—?"

"A restricted area? Not really—Kosmo and Aponia go in there every day..."

"The people who are most wary are probably Alicia and Eden..."

Velvi shook her head—

"To be honest, after that little incident, I haven't really been inside... I've only heard Eden and the others describe what's inside..."

"Oh? What kind of scene is it?"

Mei looked on with curiosity.

"Hmm... In Ellie and Eden's words—this kind of art is far too advanced for humanity, whether in the past, present, or future—"

"While it certainly has a unique artistic style... it's too early for human aesthetics."

"That's it."

Wilvi shrugged, then suddenly remembered something and added a sentence.

"By the way, you must not say this in front of Gretsch and little Sirin—making a child cry is a real headache. Of the thirteen of us, Aponia is probably the only one who really knows how to take care of children."

"An art style that transcends humanity... indescribable, isn't it? It seems you don't appreciate that kind of thing?"

Mei nodded, seemingly curious, while Miss End also gave her an interested look.

"You could say that... but while some people may not appreciate it, others will—"

"Kosmo and Qianjie seem to have a fairly positive opinion of those strange and unusual works—"

"However... I don't know why, Ah Mo. Maybe it's just because she dotes on Gretchen? But Qian Jie, perhaps I do know..."

“When I made a bet with Mebius before, we drank straight from the bottle—she told me something when she was drunk.”

"That grumpy man seems to have fallen from the sky..."
