I already said this is not a life simulator!

Alicia laughed happily.

"Sure enough, every time at this time, Eden will go to find him~ He has never missed it once, and he has never been late~?"

"……he?"

The "he" that Alicia mentioned has appeared again...but Mei Raiden still doesn't know who he is.

"Yes~ He... in our time, he was as famous as Eden. It can be said that he and Eden were one of the symbols of our time, a pair of dazzling "double stars"~"

"According to your previous description of Eden and what I saw of Eden... Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine."

"Well... if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine, right? But... it's okay, you will see him soon."

Alicia took Mei Raiden's hand and led her deeper into the cave.

"Let's go and meet him~?"

"Alicea... before that, could you introduce him to me a little bit? At least let me know his name?"

"Oh my, I'm so sorry, lovely Miss Feihua has become so stupid. You actually forgot such an important thing~?"

"Alicia..."

"Okay, I'll tell you, but... don't laugh, okay?"

"…Is there something funny about his name? Like a pun or something?"

"That's about right~"

"........."

Really?!

The corners of Mei Raiden's mouth twitched slightly.

"But, Mei, I hope you take this matter seriously, okay? Because he really lives up to his name."

Alicia put on a serious expression which was unusual for her.

"His name is——【Xiwang/Hope】."

————【Event·Give Blessing】————

The light is flowing, the notes are dancing, the gentle wind brings dense rain and gentle songs.

It looks like falling dew, or shining morning light.

Walking forward, you can notice a large number of figures... There are many familiar figures among them, even Qianjie is there.

It’s really hard to imagine that someone like Qianjie would listen to the song so quietly - Raiden Mei couldn’t help but think.

But Mei Raiden was also confused. Why were they all standing so far away? Why didn't they move a little closer? There were clearly empty seats in the front.

But she couldn't raise this question because Alicia was pushing her forward, and she soon understood why others didn't come closer.

wow-

There was only a drizzle around, but I could hear the sound of waves. A strong sense of threat came over me, as if I was being stared at by something very dangerous.

If you look away, you can see a killer whale swimming on the ground... yes! On the ground!

It seemed that for the killer whale, this was not a solid ground, but an ocean where it could swim freely.

And Raiden Mei can sense that this killer whale... is a Honkai beast! And a very dangerous one at that!

More importantly, when Mei Raiden approached, it was as if she had touched a taboo. The killer whale swam towards her at a rapid speed, and the hostility it exuded was gradually increasing.

However, just as Mei Raiden was preparing to fight...

?~

A soft melody was heard, and the killer whale hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left, "swimming" towards the direction where the singing came from.

Then Mei Raiden watched as the killer whale jumped out from the ground, just like jumping out of the water, bringing up a lot of blue water. Then she watched as the killer whale changed into a white-haired, red-eyed girl wearing a hunter hat and a bright red off-shoulder dress. There were also several bright red small [fish] surrounding her, which looked very strange.

Her gaze stayed on Raiden Mei for a while, and then she looked at the people around her.

Looking over there, she could see a man who looked somewhat similar to her... He also had white hair like waves, and there were several small blue [fish] around him, but his pupils were not red like hers, but golden like the stars in the night, which was quite similar to Eden.

It was also at this time that the singing stopped.

"I'm sorry, [Blood relative]."

She was very well-behaved, and spoke with a little bit of grievance, like a child who had made a mistake. Seeing this, Mei Raiden's mouth twitched slightly... Was she really the killer whale just now?

"It doesn't matter. Blood is important."

He smiled, reached out and touched her head to comfort her, and she squinted her eyes happily, showing a comfortable expression.

"Besides...she won't hurt me, right?"

Turning back, he looked at Raiden Mei.

"nature."

Although she didn't understand why he had to specifically point this out, after meeting other [Yingjie], Raiden Mei no longer cared about it and nodded.

“That’s it~”

His tone was brisk.

"Hello, Miss Mei, I hope Skadi's attitude doesn't scare you, she just cares too much about me."

"It's okay, I just hope I didn't disturb you...you."

Mei Raiden looked at Eden beside him, Skadi standing behind him, Sakura, Ling, and the Grayshu family beside him... and silently modified her statement.

"And...you know me?"

"Naturally, Eden and Sakura told me about you."

Xi Wang smiled and answered softly.

"Besides... Alicia brought you here today, probably because of that incident, right?"

"Is that right~?"

"Then... that's perfect."

Xiwang looked up and met the gaze of Raiden Mei.

"Ms. Mei, did you like the song just now?"

"Of course, your voices are beautiful."

"In that case, then please take a seat. Today is a rare day of [promise], so please enjoy it. Well... I can also give you some blessings and help."

"……Um?"

???~

Just when Mei Lei Dian was confused, Xi Wang's singing sounded again.

The golden light flowed in the air like a stream, and the golden notes danced happily, came to her side, fell on the back of her hand, and stopped on her shoulder.

The melody surrounded her, along with his blessing instrument.

[After the event is over, the seal of "Long Song" will be opened]

————【Event·About "Utopia"】————

Mei Raiden: It is said that the other builder of the "Utopia" is Xiwang... Is that right, Grayshu?

Grayshu: Yes, Mei-nee.

Grayshut: In order to allow more people to survive and to have a more stable "retreat", my brother Xiwang and I built an "utopia" together.

Mei Raiden: I see, but I don't think I've ever seen him in the "Utopia" area.

Grayxiu: Because Brother Xiwang is not suitable to go there...

Mei Raiden: ...Not suitable?

Grayshu: Because brother Xiwang is gone.

Raiden Mei: Gone? But he was clearly in front of me just like you guys.

Grayshut: Because Brother Xiwang is here, but... not over there, nor outside.

Raiden Mei: (What do you mean... go ask someone else)

————【Event·Regarding the ranking】————

Mei Raiden: I asked other people, did you guys rank each other? What was the basis for that?

Sue: [Rank]? Ah... this, was it Alicia who said this?

Su: Actually, we don’t care about this, but since Alicia wants to do this, we just let her do it.

Mei Raiden: But I asked other people and found out that their [ranks] are all connected.

Su: …………

Raiden Mei: So... what about Xi Wang? He should also be counted among the [Heroes], right? But when I asked him, he didn't know his [rank]... I don't think Alicia would deliberately leave him out.

Su: ...You went to ask Xiwang...No wonder, after all, he really didn’t know.

Raiden Mei: Hmm?

Su: As for the other [ranks], they are all connected, so you couldn’t notice Xi Wang’s [rank]... This is normal, because his [rank] is ahead of everyone else.

Mei Raiden: But isn’t the first one Kevin?

Su: No, it’s Xiwang, he is [No. 0].

Raiden Mei: ...Why?

Su: Because he is the only [Yingjie] who sacrificed his life, and also the only [Yingjie] who made the greatest contribution to us.

Su: It can be said that, except for the first few, all the fusion warriors since Xiwang, and even all the survivors... have received his favor.

Raiden Mei: (All? Isn’t this too much? And…what does it mean that the only one who sacrificed is a [Hero]?)

————【Event: Sacrifice】————

Mei Raiden: I heard that... Xiwang has sacrificed himself, is that right?

Mebius: Hmm? Where did you hear that, little white mouse?

Mebius: But in their eyes, that's probably the truth. He did sacrifice himself and he did die.

Mei Raiden: But he is still in front of me, moving around in front of me just like you guys.

Mebius: I wasn't wrong, little white mouse, but I was just saying that in their eyes, he was dead, that's all.

Mebius: But in the eyes of some people, he... has not left us.

Mebius: For example, me~ But I am also the most special one. After all, for me... the definition of life and death is probably different from that of others~

Raiden Mei: ...You still haven't answered my question.

Mobius: Oh, it's not good to delve too deeply into this, right?

Mebius: However, I really like your desire to explore, because this way... you will definitely touch upon many things~

Raiden Mei: …………

Mebius: Okay, I won't tease you anymore... If you want to know about his situation... well... have you heard of the term "thought body"?

Mebius: It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just think of him as a thought of ours, a real, tangible thought, a thought that allows us to see him again.

Mei Raiden: (“Thought body”…thought…so Xiwang himself no longer exists? So he can only move around in the “Garden of Eden”? Hmm…I think I understand what Graysh meant.)

Mebius: Oh, by the way, there is something Su may not have told you... Xiwang is actually a Herrscher like you~

Raiden Mei: ...Hmm?

————【Event: About Traitor】————

Eden: What's wrong, Mei-san? You seem to be worried about something.

Raiden Mei: ...I met Qianjie, and heard a very concerning statement from him.

Mei Raiden: He said that all of you...including himself, are "traitors".

Eden: Traitor...I see...
