Creating Happiness with Heart in Honkai

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Farewell



Pardofelis enjoyed searching for treasures, so Vill-V entrusted the chest placed inside Elysian Realm, along with the Helix Signet cards, to the cat, for Bronie.

The reward was a gold-made can, shimmering and adorned with gems. Pardo was delighted, working diligently within Elysian Realm to help Bronie locate the cards.

Griseo continued to march to her own beat, seeking paint around and painting.

However, for a while, Kosma hesitated to approach Griseo.

Griseo often mentioned breaking someone else's legs for her own safety, and to uncover who had caused her transformation, Kosma temporarily distanced himself from Griseo.

Subsequently, Bronie recommended Kosma to the current era's Arahato, meaning he wouldn't appear before everyone for a while.

After all, no one could resist the charm of a handsome giant robot, not even Bronie.

Although Arahato was indeed popular in anime, its game adaptation fell short.

In summary, it lacked both visual and narrative depth. It felt like a fan-made piece forcing together all elements without regard for accessibility or gameplay quality.

Despite Bronie recognizing Anti Entropy's dedication, specialization was crucial. One couldn't expect a scientist to produce a masterpiece, right? Tesla's focus wasn't solely on gaming; rather, it prioritized creating giant robots for the impending Honkai.

While Eden tutored Kiana, she also took on an additional task: assisting Bronie in composing game music. Bronie's requested compositions indeed aligned with Eden's expertise to some extent.

Given the grandiosity of most game scenes, symphonic music was vital for conveying an epic atmosphere.

Every character had their unique background story, and corresponding music could evoke emotions in players during battles. Providing players with appropriate closing music after defeating opponents was equally essential.

Eden, accustomed to classical and symphonic music, felt a slight pressure in balancing the game's three core elements: visuals, narrative, and music.

And Elysia?

Elysia found Eden preoccupied with her own affairs, so she was either sticking to Aponia all day or seeking Bronie.

As for Bronie?

She was studying, collaborating with Mobius on blood research of her body.

Although Bronie was unaware of the biological study of the sims, perhaps she had brought plenty of research equipment into Elysian Realm? Or maybe Vill-V had relocated various production equipment?

During the day, Bronie battled the Honkai beasts inside Elysian Realm, exchanging combat skills with Kalpas, Sakura, Hua, and others. At night, she studied and occasionally video called with Kiana and Cioara.

Thanks to entrusting Ash Serpent to supply enough food and water, Bronie's life in Elysian Realmwas particularly comfortable.

Poor Gray Serpent remained unaware of the changes within Elysian Realm, even considering whether to send more successors for trials in some time.

Days gradually settled into a routine. However, with Elysia's presence, how could days be ordinary?

While developing games, she observed. While preparing for a bath, she stood guard at the door, even secretly changing her clothes!

During battles against the Honkai beasts inside Elysian Realm, the final boss might be Elysia herself. Her extraordinary healing ability led Bronie to suspect whether Elysia had tampered with her data.

Bronie's busy life had spanned nearly three months, coinciding with Russia's coldest period!

"Bronie, are you still busy?"

Today, Elysia didn't come knocking who seems to be likely spending time with other beauties inside Elysian Realm. Instead, Eden arrived, appearing to have something to discuss.

Currently, Bronie was engrossed in communicating with her company's personnel.

Under her astute leadership, the game Elden Ring was being developed at an exceptional pace. Though bugs were inevitable, Bronie's weak artificial intelligence, procured from Arc City, had no trouble fixing them.

However, if one entertained thoughts of romance with artificial intelligence, it was best to reconsider; Bronie's artificial intelligence lacked any additional, extraneous functions beyond combat and programming.

"Good morning, Eden. Given the massive scope of the game, game development is inevitably lengthy. However, my game company's proficiency in game production is increasing rapidly, its surpassing other production teams of the current civilization. So, from a rational standpoint, I'm not really busy right now."

"It's like being a little adult; they say composing often reflects a person's perspective from different angles. But now I understand just how talented you are. I've finished polishing Radagon's theme song and added some orchestral music to it. I also enlisted some memory replicas within Elysian Realm for a grand choir. I believe this piece should satisfy you."

Eden brought the game music Bronie wanted!

"Weren't the previous pieces already above my requests? You can create and produce the music you want, so I don't need to say much, right?"

"Yes, after Mobius heard this news, she was also very happy. She's been working overtime more often in the lab lately."

Eden agreed with Bronie's statement, feeling more hopeful now.

She even increased the number of times she played Civilization, hoping to understand more about the development of modern civilization after leaving the Elysian Realm.

Unfortunately, the civilization portrayed in the game only scratch the surface of the vast current era.

"Hehe, the music is done too. It's time to work overtime again for a while. I'm actually starting to look forward to the game!"

The first souls-like game for the youth.

This game could be very challenging or relatively simple. As long as you study the content inside the game, you can always find a way to pass it. The friendly open-world map allows players to fully explore the entire world.

Whether it's the art style or the music, coupled with fragmented narrative, it sparks discussions among players. It could be said that this game is the most suitable entry-level for souls-like game in Bronie's mind.

That's why Bronie chose Elden Ring instead of Dark Souls or Bloodborne with higher completion rates.

Watching Bronie's enthusiasm, Eden also felt a bit itchy and wanted the to play the game.

Yes, because of making music, Eden could see all the bosses' background stories from the creators' perspective, catching a glimpse of the background world of Elden Ring. The ancient, backward, yet magical epic story was quite intriguing, like discovering online literature for the first time.

"Good luck, I'm looking forward to your new game."

"But speaking of which, I've actually been here for quite a long time, haven't I? Did previous successors stay here for such a long time?"

"Of course not, but I think the time is about right now."

Eden said so, and Bronie had already guessed something. This high-intensity interaction with the brain and computer, no matter how absurd, should have some side effects. It's like staring at a computer day and night, which is bad for the eyes.

"When can I come back next time?"

"You might have to ask Mobius, or Vill-V? Vill-V has been preparing some magic recently. If you don't leave soon, you'll probably face Vill-V's grand magic, prepared for several months."

Bronie inside Elysian Realm had nothing else to do except train her strength. Among all the Flame Chasers, there were very few she could truly defeat.

Winning in battles was mostly due to the opponent's leniency.

Next, Bronie's focus should be on making games. Where else could she make them? In short, staying in Elysian Realm for too long would indeed have a negative impact on her health.

Learning this from Eden, Bronie didn't want to stay in Elysian Realm for another moment.

But then she thought about it and felt a bit reluctant to leave Elysia and Eden.

"We'll keep in touch online, right?"

"Of course, didn't we agree on that? Both Elysia and I have no intention of breaking our promises. And you've successfully made us look forward to the future, which is something you've been working hard on, right?"

"If you were a member of the World Serpent, we would all wish you stayed here. We'd just send more successors your way. But this is what we hope for, paving the way for successors. For some people, this is Elysian Realm, the meaning of their existence."

"From now on, your existence means more than this. That's what I mean, so leave the future to me!"

Patting her chest, Bronie left the rest area and arrived at the exit of Elysian Realm.

"When you leave, make sure to dress nicely! If I see you not dressing properly again, next time I come back, I'll definitely treat you well!"

Upon hearing that Bronie was about to leave, Elysia immediately came to the exit of Elysian Realm.

"Haven't you noticed that when I entered Elysian Realm, I didn't bring spare clothes, but when I leave, I'm wearing different ones?"

"So, the clothes you're wearing are projected!?"

"Hmph, it's not that superficial! Even if my abilities fail, my clothes won't disappear, so don't fantasize about strange things."

Seeing Elysia's disappointed look, Bronie's eyebrows twitched.

Could it be that Elysia would really try to get Vill-V to remove her abilities just to see her naked? Surely she wouldn't have such malicious thoughts.

"That's really a pity~ Well then, goodbye!"

Bronie would come back sooner or later, so Elysia wasn't that sad. And Bronie tried to act casual.

"I'll be back soon. Don't lose sleep because you miss me too much!"

"Okay, but Bronie, when you go to sleep at night, think of me more!"

Damn, Elysia was too good at this!

"Relax, I won't forget you!"

With that, Bronie's figure disappeared into Elysian Realm.

Eden also felt a bit emotional.

"She is such a miraculous child."

"That's why she's called a miracle, right? Although her power is indeed somewhat similar to the Herrscher of Reason, fundamentally, it's different. Vill-V might know more about it, but Mobius seems to be stuck in her research."

"She's been trying for fifty thousand years. She won't mind a little setback."

"Yes, she'll just secretly cry under the covers and then pretend nothing happened when I find her."

"Elysia! Please don't make up things that never happened to others!"

Upon hearing that Bronie was about to leave Elysian Realm, Mobius originally wanted to come and intercept Bronie.

At least she should hand over her Signet. But it seemed she was a step too late. Then she heard Elysia scheming behind her!

"Oh~ Did you really not cry at all?"

"Of course not!"

Mobius's response was gritted teeth, but she had no way to prove it.

"Well, that's a pity. I was planning to snuggle into your bed and comfort you with a loving hug. But now it seems you don't need it."

"Of course I don't need it! So, did the little bunny leave already? Did I come too late?"

Mobius glanced around, but there was no sign of Bronie's figure, which made her feel slightly disappointed.

"It's a pity you came too late. Bronie's body is still developing, and there's still a lot of room for growth in the future. So, for Bronie's future, it's better not to let her stay in Elysian Realm for too long. Mobius, you wouldn't want anything unexpected to happen to Bronie's body, right?"

Bronie's body research hasn't been understood yet. It would be a big loss if she suddenly got sick or died. At least with the current research progress, destructive experiments were impossible, so what Elysia said was correct.

"Humph! I don't care about her physical condition. It's just because she wants us all to leave Elysian Realm that I let her go. She should be more grateful!"

"Sure, sure."

Elysia didn't have the intention to tease Mobius anymore. After all, she felt a little sad after Bronie left.

"I hope Bronie can come back soon."
