Creating Happiness with Heart in Honkai

[Haxxor Bunny: Since you've made your choice, you should bear the consequences. Children don't know their limits. Truly caring for Toriel means not raising a hand against her, no matter what.

Lazy Tree Lover: -_-

Frozen Ice Cubes: ... ]

A strange ID appeared in the chat room, making it clear to everyone present that a new visitor, and a hacker at that, had arrived.

Although the ID seemed slightly different from the others.

The other users responded with silence, as the hacker's behavior was akin to invasion, and capturing them was of utmost importance.

Perhaps Elysia had her own reasons for allowing it?

"Never lay a hand on family? It makes sense, but her behavior of stopping me from advancing is indeed suspicious. Who would completely trust someone at first sight? And you, as the game developer, leaving such a clue in the beginning, isn't that a hint?"

After a brief shock, Cioara calmed down momentarily. Although she didn't know who the Haxxor Bunny was, this emotionally stirring game seemed to be the handiwork of that person.

Damn it, making me play such a game. Now that I've put it down, it feels off. And if Elysia is unhappy, will I suffer?

"Let's continue forward. Since I've made a mistake, I should be cautious from now on..."

Elysia also felt a tinge of sadness, but the game must go on.

Although save-scumming could rectify all mistakes, it couldn't erase the sorrow of committing those mistakes. And the entire game would lose its flavor, with all subsequent plotlines following Toriel's survival path, conflicting with her previous actions and the sight of such an ending feeling discordant.

So Elysia suggested moving forward.

As Cioara controlled the protagonist to leave the basement, upon reopening her character panel, she noticed a glaring level up.

Finally, Cioara sighed and continued forward.

Ahead lay a gloomy forest, and as they walked along the forest path, the atmosphere around them suddenly felt eerie.

"Wasn't there someone behind us just now?"

"Toriel did mention earlier to keep moving forward and not let Asgore catch us. Do you think he'll be waiting at the door?"

Elysia jokingly teased Cioara, while Cioara moved forward silently.

As long as they kept advancing, keep moving forward, they could uncover the truth. In Elysian Realm, such rules always existed, and the game naturally followed suit.

After a short distance, they arrived at a wooden bridge, with a dark figure following closely behind, finally revealing its true form.

"Human. Don't you know how to greet a new pal? Turn around and shake my hand."

The protagonist slowly turned around and extended their hand to shake the hand of the dark figure.

At that moment, a long and melodious fart sound erupted, the BGM paused, and the entire livestream room was filled with an awkward atmosphere.

"What... what is this?"

The sudden change in atmosphere made everyone momentarily forget about Toriel's passing.

Elysia's smile was always so infectious.

"Is this thing a skeleton? Why is the skeleton so chubby?"

Cioara couldn't help but comment, finding the monster in front of her subverting traditional impressions, especially when paired with the lazy BGM, everything seemed relaxed.

[Hehe... The old whoopee cushion in the hand trick, It's ALWAYS Funny. Anyways, you're human, right? It's quite hilarous. I'm sans, sans the skeleton. I'm actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now, ...but you know... I dont really care about caputuring anybody.

Now my brother, Papyrus, he is a human-hunting FANATIC. Hey, actually, I think that's him over there.

By the way, I have an idea. Go through this gate thingy, Yeah, go right through. My brother made the bars too wide to stop anyone.]

With cheerful steps, Sans led the protagonist across the bridge, reaching a clear space next to a roadside stall.

[Quickly, behind that conveniently shaped lamp!]

The protagonist involuntarily walked to the back of the lamp, seamlessly blending in with it.

"Ha! Is this what you call a conveniently shaped object?"

A lamp perfectly crafted to match the protagonist's silhouette, the disguise behind the lamp was so perfect that it impressed Elysia for a moment before she burst into laughter.

Laughter was the easiest way to infect others, even Cioara couldn't help but join in, followed by Eden.

[Lazy Tree Lover: I have to admit, this game developer has quite the knack for the more old humor.

Hypnotic Butterfly: Such a cute game.]

Even Aponia couldn't help but get amused.

In the time spent in the Elysian Realm, countless successors had arrived, but none had brought such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

The arrival of Bronie seemed to bring some subtle changes to the Elysian Realm.

Aponia wasn't sure if these changes were good or bad, because she couldn't witness them.

But precisely because she couldn't witness them, she was filled with anticipation.

Because she couldn't see the outcome, she paid attention to the process. Aponia hid in the deepest end, silently observing the development of events.

Next, it was Papyrus's turn to appear.

Accompanied by cheerful yet somewhat ridiculous BGM, Papyrus appeared wearing red armor with a flowing scarf around his neck, giving off the impression of an energetic young man.

[Sans: sup, bro.

Papyrus: You know what's "up", brother! It's been eight days, and you still haven't recalibrated puzzles! You're just hanging around your station, What are you even doing!

Sans: Staring at this lamp, it's cool, do you look?

Papyrus: No! I don't have time for that! What if a human comes through here! I will be the one, I must be the one! I will catch a human!

Then I, the great Papyrus, will get all the things I deserve!

Respect...

Recognition...

I'll will finally be able join the Royal Guard! Then people will ask to be my 'friend'! I'll wi bathe in a shower of kisses every morning!]

"I didn't expect Sans to tease the protagonist like that, but what's with Papyrus? Why is he so cute!?" Elysia was touched by Papyrus's words. This cutie, wanting to become a so-called Royal Guard, all for the sake of making more friends.

"Sans is a bit of a jerk; I didn't expect him to lure us behind the lamp to betray us..." Cioara evaluated, feeling Papyrus's charm as well.

[Upon hearing his brother's words, Sans paused for a moment, then subtly glanced at the nearby street lamp. "Hmmmm, maybe this lamp will help you."

Papyrus: Sans! You are not helping! You lazybones! All you do is sit and boondoggle all day! You're getting lazier and lazier every day!

Sans: Hey, take it easy. I've gotten a ton of work today. A skele-ton.

Papyrus: Sans!

Papyrus burst into laughter at this joke but immediately feigned anger.]

"The master of jokes is still at large here..."

Hiora raised an eyebrow, but her thoughts were all focused on the game. Toriel's regrets, the healing brought by adorable monsters. The two skeleton brothers, like comedians, bantered back and forth, their conversation filled with humor, making their interactions warm and fun.

Unconsciously, a slight smile curved Hiora's lips.

"Distinct personalities, and Papyrus's character setup is quite interesting. I'm really starting to look forward to the plot ahead. All the monsters in the underground shouldn't be bad, right? Even that little flower might have its own reasons."

Eden picked up a glass and poured herself a full glass of wine, enjoying Cioara's gameplay while savoring the light and cheerful background music with a hint of simplicity.

Seeing the continued growth of art in this era was the best external news for Eden. So she thoroughly enjoyed the present moment. Elysia, always capable of bringing surprises to others.

And Eden began to wonder, what kind of person was this new intruder who called themselves a hacker?

Next, Cioara continued to control the protagonist, while Papyrus seemed to have prepared many puzzles ahead.

"Hey, Raven Miss~"

"Oh, you startled me, speak normally, I'm scared, what's up?" Suddenly, Elysia leaned in again, constantly challenging Cioara's courage.

"I was thinking, in such a cute game, even the puppies are adorable. If we give it to Kalpas, could he also be moved? Perhaps that sunshine-shy boy will be a little more lovable?" Eden, who was slightly tipsy, also opened her eyes, as if confirming whether Elysia was serious. The Sunshine Boy hadn't spoken in the chat group so far. He probably didn't care about this. Giving him the game now might result in a beating, right?

"I once played some music for Kalpas, but it seemed like it was just a noise for him. Can he really endure playing this game? I can't imagine it."

"This is always worth a try, right? Maybe it'll succeed!"

"I can't imagine that..."

Cioara paused her gameplay, helplessly covering her forehead. Kalpas' impression on her was too deep, almost giving her PTSD. These memories of repeated deaths and burns almost gave her PTSD.

And at this moment, combining the image of Kalpas, who had already been fixed in her mind as a deva on flames, with the image of a gentle boy petting the dog monster in front of her, it felt like a mental contamination.

And Elysia actually thought it was fine?

Her thought process are so terrifying!

No, it should be said that Elysia, this girl, was really amazing that she could even get along with Kalpas well.

"Hey, Kalpas is just a bit shy, take this!"

Elysis handed a small booklet to Cioara.

"'From Novice to Mastery: 100 Questions about Kalpas' Mask'! What is this!?"

"It's a way to get along with Kalpas, you can easily see how Kalpas is feeling now, and then consider whether to make contact. This is summarized by the lovely and beautiful Miss Pink Elf~, it's very useful!"

Miss Pink Elf sounded just like Elysia!?

"I prefer to complain about the chilling puns in the game."

"In that case, you might hurt the feelings of a beautiful girl~"

"Sorry..."

"Just kidding!"

Cioara was a little embarrassed for a moment, only then did she realize that the person in front of her was an epic hero in history, a deity beyond reach.

But Elysia was like this, always appearing in others' lives inadvertently, quickly closing the distance with sincerity and care.

Elysia smiled mischievously and then said,

"I froze the live feed on the game, if anyone in Elysian Realm doesn't want to play the game and wants to see the follow-up plot, let our successor lead everyone to experience the beautiful world created by another little cutie! Of course, we shouldn't make it too hard for this successor, playing games can also be exhausting, so Miss Raven, if you feel tired, you might as well take a break!"

"So are you really going?"

Cioara still had a little worry that Elysia might be beaten by Kalpas.

"Relax, I'm the deputy leader of the thirteen Flame Chasers! And such a beautiful game, if it's given to Kalpas, he'll definitely be very happy!"

"Well, be careful on your way."

"Thanks for your concern~"

It was then that Cioara noticed the live feed panel left by Elysia. The previous messages on it were all relayed by Cioara.

Frozen Ice Cubes? Is that their Lord Kevin?

What's Hypnosis Butterfly?

But the Green Snake is quite an image, at that time, she almost thought she was really going to be eaten by her, luckily Eden helped her out.

Shining Melody suits Eden well.

But this, Haxxor Bunny, doesn't look like the any of the people she met here.

That's the hacker, right?

But can a hacker really hack into the technological crystallization of the previous era, the Elysian Realm?

This inevitably made Cioara look at the other person differently.

At least according to Elysia, Haxxor Bunny has indeed manipulated the chat room's panel, and even seems to know more information than herself.

Apart from directly accessing the information inside Elysia Realm, no one knows about the deeds of this guy.

But could an evil person make such a gentle game?

Cioara couldn't help but feel confused again.

"Never mind, let's continue the game, let's... after when Papyrus will attack us, okay?"
