I already said this is not a life simulator!

"Also, there was a collapse in Twilight Street before, which destroyed the whole place. We risked our lives to rescue the people inside... That [Kitten] was planning to participate in the operation because of this."

"Ahahaha...Brother Li, please don't say that..."

Padufils looked away somewhat embarrassedly.

"...Thank you for your hard work. It's a pity that I can't help you here."

"Don't belittle yourself like that. Your song has helped us a lot... If you say something like that again, I'll beat you up."

"You probably can't beat the record player now, Quercus."

Yin ruthlessly exposed his lover's bluff. After all, they were both just ordinary people now and would definitely not be able to defeat Xi Wang, who was a fusion warrior.

"Hmph, what are you talking about, Yin? Just wait and see. I only need one thing to make the record player surrender!"

As Li said this, he took two steps at a time and came to Xi Wang. He grabbed his hand and stuffed something into his palm.

"...Thank you, Brother Li~"

"Hmph~"

Xi Wang seemed to sense something and smiled, thanking him, while Li also hummed twice with great pride.

The others looked carefully and found that what Li gave Xiwang was just a lollipop.

"Is this considered bribery, Quer?"

The corners of Yin's mouth twitched before he finally uttered these words.

"Just tell me whether I won or not!"

"That's right, Brother Li is the best."

"You [Record Player], stop pampering him like that, or his tail will be up in the air!"

"Ha ha……"

The reunion scene, the fun interactions, and the playful conversations made everyone present smile.

?

Soft dance music sounded quietly, attracting everyone's attention.

Turning around, they could see familiar figures to Xiwang and Eden, and the one sitting in the main seat was Elga.

"........."

Noticing everyone's gazes, they all smiled and nodded in response. When they looked at Xiwang and Eden, there was obvious joy in their eyes. Elga's gaze stayed on Xiwang for a long time before she finally nodded at him, slowly retracted her gaze, lowered her eyelids slightly, and immersed her thoughts in the performance.

"Hehe~ It took me a lot of effort to find them~ And some people also had to wait for a long time to fully recover... Come on, thank you, Alicia~?"

"Thank you, Alysia." x2

"Humph~?"

Listening to Xiwang and Eden's responses, Alicia shook her head happily, her long pink hair fluttering, and then she came lightly in front of Xiwang.

"Well, the dance has already begun. So... this [Miss], would you please honor me and dance with me, who is as beautiful as a flying flower?"

"I'm so sorry, he already has an appointment."

With a smile, Eden gently pulled Xiwang closer and got close to him.

"That's such a pity~?"

Alicia also smiled, and moved aside with the others to make way for the two.

"Humph~?"

Eden hummed twice with pleasure, exchanged a glance with Xi Wang beside him, and then they took a step together, slowly, and walked to the center of the stage.

"I've finally waited until this moment...Xiwang."

"It's been a long time, Eden."

They hugged each other, held each other, looked at each other, and danced gracefully together to the music.

"Today, there are too many people here. Alicia has brought many people who can attract attention... I'm really worried."

Eden sighed at first, then laughed.

"But, at least for now, you won't take your eyes off me, right?"

"Of course~"

“…That’s great~”

The figures separated as the dance music progressed, then embraced each other again.

"Xiwang, come and sing~"

"Isn't it bad to cover up other people's glory?"

"After all, they are stars~ It's okay for them to shine a little~"

Eden blinked, and took the initiative to close the distance between him and Xiwang, pressing his body against his.

"Want to sing~?"

"Okay~?"

Xiwang responded like this.

Soon, his and her soft humming overlapped and flowed quietly.

The dance steps spun lightly, and the golden light flowed like a stream, outlining the shape of musical notes in the air, spreading in all directions with the breeze, filling the dance hall.

The people who were still playing showed helpless smiles... The brilliance of Xiwang and Yiden was so dazzling that for a moment their music seemed dispensable.

But... they did not stop, and they would not stop, even though they knew that Xiwang's power was enough for him to complete all the music alone, even though they knew that they would never be able to touch Eden's song, they would not stop.

The light of the "Double Stars" is dazzling and far away, but this is not the reason for them to stop there... Chasing the light is also a kind of romance, isn't it?

Immerse your thoughts in the performance, dissolve your emotions in the music, and express all your thoughts and ideas through music.

The light flows and the notes leap, illuminating them.

Even though the spotlight has always been on the "double stars", they are also shining with their own unique light at this moment.

The two people sitting in the middle of the dance floor, dancing to their heart's content and immersed in the singing, were smiling, smiling happily and joyfully.

They looked at each other, exchanged thoughts, and then lightly intertwined their steps. The two smoothly changed each other's dance steps and returned to the normal dance with Xiwang performing the men's part and Yiden performing the women's part.

The dance steps originally led by Eden gradually shifted to Xiwang's hands.

"…Have they always been like this?"

Su looked at Xiwang and Yiden who seemed to be completely immersed in their own world, then looked at the others who seemed to have gotten used to it, and asked curiously.

"They've always been like this."

Desdobia, who had arrived at some point, responded with a smile, looked at Xiwang and Eden, and gently touched the shoulder of Kosmo, who had arrived with her.

"Kosmo, do you want to join us later?"

“I’m not very good at…”

"I'll teach you~"

"……Um."

Kosmo nodded slightly. He was not good at speaking, but... he didn't want to refuse.

"Well, they are like this."

Kevin nodded, responding to his friend's question and acknowledging Desdobia's statement... At the same time, he looked at Xiwang and Eden with a little bit of... envy in his eyes.

"........."

He lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand. At this moment, he could no longer touch Mei, let alone dance with Mei like they did.

So... I can only envy and wish you all the best.

"...Sakura, do you want to dance with me later~?"

"Hmm? No thanks."

In response to Alicia's invitation, Ying smiled and shook her head, and her gaze returned to Xiwang.

"Ying really likes Xiwang. She never takes her eyes off him~?"

"……Um."

"…I'm surprised Sakura isn't shy."

"It's okay to be a little bolder sometimes, right?"

Sakura smiled and said so.

"Is that so... then Ying is going to dance with Xiwang later?"

"No oh, now it's his and Eden's time."

"...Won't you be jealous? If that's the case?"

"Nope."

Ying's gaze lingered on the pair of blue animal ears on Xiwang's head, which were similar to her own, and she smiled.

"After all...he's here, isn't he?"

The scarlet animal ears on her head twitched twice in pleasure.

"That's it..."

Alicia looked at Sakura's gently trembling animal ears, then looked at the golden musical notes that still lingered beside her, sighed softly, and then no longer mentioned the topic.

The relationship between the three of them is really strange~ It’s a bit confusing - Alicia thought so.

???~

The dance had come to an end, and the two had never taken their eyes off each other... Finally, in the final pose, Eden smiled, gently put her arms around his neck, leaned forward, and kissed him.

"Oh-"

"Oh...Brother Xiwang..."

"Grace, don't look."

"........."

Everyone's voices were different, but none of them could affect them at the moment.

"Haha~"

When their lips parted, Eden rested her head on his chest, smiling happily.

"Xiwang."

"Well, I'm here."

"I really hope that time will stop right now, so that... we can be together forever."

"I hope so too, but... we have to move forward, don't we?"

"Yes, we must move forward~"

"Besides, I can always stay by your side. Didn't you promise that?"

"Oh, yes."

Eden rubbed Xiwang's chest gently.

"You'll be there for me."

Chapter 4423 Some Doubts ()

[You are very happy to see new companions and reunite with old friends, but... after this brief joy, you still have to return to the most basic thing - fighting against the collapse.]

[Although you can do less and less after your singing voice can be "copied", your role in the "Eighth Herrscher Incident" cannot be ignored. In addition, the songs you sang live have an extremely powerful effect. Therefore, "Fire Moth" now mostly regards you as a "trump card" to hide, and will only let you fight in certain special circumstances.]

[Well, this special situation naturally refers to the "Great Collapse"... Who made you play a significant role during the two "Great Collapses"? You even played a decisive role in the "Eighth Herrscher Incident"]

[Of course, this is just the superficial statement, or the statement that most people are willing to accept. The other statement... is not so pleasant to hear.]
