I write about collapse in my daily life

Mei could only remain silent.

Of course, she was reluctant too.

She doesn't want to separate, and no one wants to separate.

But there is no other way, so, while there is still time, stay with her for a while longer.

Faced with Mei's silence, Alicia changed the subject. She hoped that Mei could accompany her to walk around the paradise before they parted, and take one last look at the paradise.

Mei naturally wouldn't refuse, and the two of them arrived at the amusement park at dusk.

In the eternal paradise, only here is it always dusk, because the amusement park is the most beautiful only when the lights are on.

The two chatted while walking in the amusement park.

Alicia introduced Mei to the amusement park's attractions and their stories.

For example, the carousel, she had originally thought of using this as a part of the team-building activity for the Thirteen Heroes, but in the end she rejected it herself.

Because there are only twelve horses on that merry-go-round, the remaining person will definitely be sad.

But today they don’t have to worry about anyone being left without a seat, but the empty seats seem to make people feel even more lonely.

Player: Writer, you bastard! You're going to stab me with this, right?

Don't be angry, don't be angry...

Now is the last memory with Ellie, they have to smile and not leave any bad memories.

After touring the amusement park, Alicia and Mei came to the other side of the Eternal Paradise and met some people from Alicia's memories.

A former friend in the orphanage.

The old grandfather in the town took good care of her.

A familiar staff member in Fire Moth.

......

Alicia chatted with them with a smile, just like when Mei was first brought into the Eternal Paradise.

It's just that back then it was from the starting point to an unknown end point, while now it's from the end point to the starting point.

Just like that, the two returned to their starting point, back to the platform in the center of the Eternal Paradise.

Alicia wanted to put a perfect end here, but Mei showed an expression of reluctance and loneliness. She didn't want to part with Alicia.

"Oh, I know, Mei must be reluctant to leave me, because I also miss Mei."

Looking at Mei's lonely expression, Alicia began to try hard to comfort Mei.

"We just reunited, but now we have to separate... This is really unreasonable, isn't it?"

Yeah, that's unreasonable.

"But separation will always come, just like a story will always have its own ending."

......

Everyone was silent, except for the person who was most reluctant to let go, who was trying hard to smile and comfort everyone.

"So, don't make that expression... Mei, smile, okay?"

it is good.

Everyone tried hard to raise the corners of their mouth, but why... they just couldn't do it?

"Is it really...about to end?"

Mei's expression became particularly pitiful, and her voice seemed to have a hint of tears.

I can’t bear to leave, I can’t bear to leave, and still... I can’t bear to leave.

The end was right in front of her, but she just couldn't take that step.

Even...want to retreat.

Alicia could fully understand Mei's feelings at this moment, because...she was the same.

So, she congratulated Mei on graduating from the paradise of the afterlife. She should hold her head up proudly and move towards her future instead of being buried in the dust with her.

"I...I haven't yet..."

Mei's voice was choked with sobs.

She had a lot more to say, but at this moment she didn't know what to say.

This hesitation caused my emotions to completely spill out.

So, Alicia gently helped her speak it out.

"Is Hai not... ready to say goodbye? Actually, neither am I."

So she made a tempting suggestion.

"Well, for the last moments... let's go on another roller coaster, shall we? This time we'll go slower and just enjoy the scenery, okay?"

"it is good......"

Thousands of words finally turned into just one word.

Looking at the two people in the game who were reluctant to part with each other, the players suddenly found that this scene seemed somewhat familiar, just like when Kiana and Himeko said goodbye.

The more they look at it, the more similar it seems to players.

(Dual Blade Warning!)

Hengkuai, the roller coaster that could circle the entire Eternal Paradise started moving again.

The roller coaster moved slowly, and Alicia smiled and talked a lot to Mei, trying to divert Mei's attention and prevent her from being too immersed in the sadness of separation.

But Mei pointed out her thoughts directly, pointing out that she was half-jokingly changing the subject just to hide her true feelings.

"You really... don't know how to lie at all."

"Mei...if you keep talking like that, I'll really cry, okay?"

Alicia finally stopped pretending to be happy. She took a deep breath and said in a voice that sounded a little tearful.

"I don't want to say goodbye to Mei in tears... because girls still look better when they smile. So, you should remember my smile, right?"

"...Yeah. I will always remember it, always...keep it in my heart."

Mei nodded solemnly.

"Well, don't forget. My cute face, sweet voice, and every word I said to you, write them all down!"

Alicia's voice trembled slightly, but in the end, she still showed a gentle smile.

"But...even if you really forget, it doesn't matter."

Mei didn't say anything, but the tears she had been holding back finally flowed out of her eyes.

Some viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but wipe away their tears.

Like Mei, they really don't want to be separated from Airi and everyone in the paradise of the past.

"Ah! Mei...why are you crying?"

Alicia was frightened by Mei's sudden tears, but she soon asked in a gentle voice,

"Do you want me to give you a big hug?"

"I'm not crying."

Very good, it seems that Mei has learned a lot of new things in Paradise, such as being tough.

"No~have~?"

Alicia asked in a deliberately drawn-out voice.

"No."

Mei continued to be stubborn, but her voice could not hide the sadness.

Alicia, as usual, leaned forward, put her hands behind her back, made a cute gesture, and continued to ask in the sweetest voice:

"Really... no?"

Hearing her voice and looking at her appearance, Mei couldn't help but laugh.

"...Now there really is none."

"Well, that's good. Like I said, Mei looks better when she smiles!"

Alicia made Mei laugh again, easing the originally sad atmosphere a little.

Then, Alicia asked Mei anxiously, "Will she be disappointed?"

After so much effort, in the end, I can only say goodbye.

To say I'm not disappointed would be a lie.

However, the players still came up with their own answers.

will not!

"At least we can say goodbye properly, right?"

Mei also gave her own answer.

"I always feel like I'm saying goodbye to others. I don't think this will be the last time..."

She looked at Alicia and remembered something.

"But... [tragedy is not the end, but the beginning of hope]... right?"

Mei tells Alicia that even if the future cannot be changed, she must end the process of deciding to reach that result.

Just like at this moment, she met the thirteen heroes in the paradise of the past, touched their lives, felt their wills, and witnessed their entire lives...

"The memories we created will never fade. The feelings we left will never fade."

Mei's voice gradually became firm, and she handed in her answer sheet to Alicia, the final examiner of Paradise.

"They will be carried forward by me, forever and ever."

"I will be proof that you existed. I will be proof that... you will always exist."

She gave a final summary of her words word by word.

“This is something only humans can do, and that’s the most amazing thing about this story.”

Alicia was deeply moved by Mei's words, and she decided to leave a better ending than what happened in history.

A grand finale without any regrets.

She told Mei that she planned to meet the Herrscher of Corrosion after sending Mei away from Paradise.

Even though they were enemies, as a fellow Herrscher, she also wanted to understand her thoughts and feelings.

Besides, she also had to pick everyone up.

She lives in our memories, and we live in her memories as well.

What they can do, she can certainly do too, so this time it's her turn to go to everyone.

Chapter 601: The Farewell of the Heroes

The roller coaster moved slowly, carrying the two people far away.

Mei saw the entirety of the Eternal Paradise for the first time, and watched it gradually move away from her.

Even though the roller coaster is going really slowly this time, it's still...very fast.

Yes, everyone still thinks that the speed of this roller coaster is too fast.

Is it really too fast?

No! It's just that everyone is too reluctant to leave.

When the moment of separation really comes, no matter how much time passes, no matter how long the farewell is, you can't let go of the reluctance in your heart.

Their story, just like this journey, will eventually come to an end.
