Ahem! Getting sidetracked.
(Friendly reminder: Shipping everything indiscriminately will only lead to disaster!)
Elysia clasped her hands behind her back, leaned close to Fu Lin with a teasing smile, and asked, "So, dear Fu Lin, who would you like to replace Kosma with? Mei? That mysterious Kiana you've never met? Or… me?"
Fu Lin casually placed his hands in his pockets, gazed at Elysia's mischievous grin, and lightly ran his tongue over his molars. "How about all of you together?"
------------------------------
Elysia pretended to be scared, hid behind Mei, hugged Mei's waist, stuck her head out, and playfully stuck out her tongue, "Wow! You're really greedy. I don't want it, nope~"
Fu Lin also stuck out his tongue at Elysia, "Nope~"
Griseo chuckled softly, covering her mouth, "Uncle Fu Lin, so childish..."
Mei firmly grasped Elysia's restless hand and asked, "Elysia, I wanted to ask you earlier—why are you here?"
Elysia showed a look of sudden realization and said, "I almost forgot! Mei, the typewriter is fixed, so I brought it over—"
Griseo curiously looked at the typewriter and asked, "So this is a typewriter? What does it print?"
Elysia exchanged a smile with her and pointed at the typewriter, "Hehe, Griseo, are you interested? Want to try it out?"
Fairy Ellie explained, "Just place your hand on the keyboard, and it will automatically select a memory related to you from the database and print it out!"
"Like this?" Griseo placed her hand on the typewriter. Moments later, it started working, and she looked at the scene in amazement.
"Ah, it really printed something." Mei looked at the printed document and murmured internally, 'Just like Griseo's previous records, it's a painting.'
Fu Lin picked up the paper, glanced at the character in the drawing, and couldn't help but laugh, "Kosma, you look quite unique."
Kosma "..." !!!
Aponia looked at the drawing, covered her mouth, and said, "Indeed, though it's a bit abstract, this posture... it's definitely Kosma."
"I remember this. Kosma said he learned to play the harmonica, and Sister asked him to perform for everyone..."
Griseo scratched her head, smiled brightly at everyone, and slowly explained,
"After Kosma's performance, Sister laughed so hard she fell off her chair..."
Then she furrowed her brows in confusion, "I also remember a vague voice... laughing even harder, almost making Kosma... how should I put it?"
Fu Lin whispered from the side, "Break down?"
Griseo's eyes lit up, and she nodded, "Yes! That's it—Kosma almost broke down."
Kosma, "..." I don't remember that happening.
Griseo placed her hands on her chest and thanked Fairy Ellie,
"Kosma, no lying. And also, thank you, Fairy Administrator. Griseo remembered a very happy memory."
Elysia crossed her arms, tilted her head as she watched, and smiled.
Fairy Ellie cheerfully flapped her little wings, "Mhm, thank you for using my service! Human child, don't underestimate the power of fairies!"
Mei rubbed her chin and looked at the restored typewriter, asking, "Oh... Fairy power is really convenient. Does this mean I can continue investigating that mysterious man?"
"Aren't I the mysterious man?"
Fu Lin looked at Mei with a confused expression. The mysterious man mentioned in the documents about the Elysian Realm's descent was referring to him, so what was there to investigate?
Mei put down the document and shook her head, "No, it's another one—someone from Elysia's memories. Clearly, he and Kevin..."
Elysia interrupted, "Uh... dear Mei, since you're so curious, why don't you try the typewriter again?"
"Oh, never mind then."
Hearing this, Fu Lin withdrew his gaze, then suddenly widened his eyes in realization. He looked at Mei in confusion and thought to himself, 'Wait, when was there ever a mysterious man in the Elysian Realm's memory storyline?'
'Could it be Scar? No, that's not right either. Did I skip too much of the plot and miss it? Or is it someone outside the main story?'
Elysia looked at Fu Lin and asked with concern, "...What's wrong?"
Fu Lin waved his hand dismissively, "Nothing, I'm just curious about the mysterious man in your memories. Any idea who he is, Elysia?"
Mei also turned her gaze upon hearing this.
Elysia simply titled her head to the side, " I also don't remember, I'm just a memory."
Griseo shook her head and slowly added, "Griseo doesn't know either."
Mei, "..."
Elysia gently tapped the typewriter again. When Mei picked up the document, its contents were, unsurprisingly, a bunch of gibberish.
Mei, "..."
Elysia covered her mouth and giggled, "Oh dear, did the typewriter break again?"
Fairy Ellie quickly waved her hands in denial, then thought for a moment and said, "Impossible! I clearly fixed it! ...Unless there is no record of this person at all. Yes! That must be it."
Mei crossed her arms and curiously asked, "Then why does Elysia have his image in her memory?"
Fairy Ellie scratched her cheek, then declared righteously, "Uh... maybe it's exactly because there's no record of him that he's called the 'mysterious man' in the first place."
