At night, a flawless maiden sat before a vanity mirror, glancing at the calendar on her desk.
Today was November 10th, and the 11th was marked with a cake.
"Sigh, doing makeup alone is such a hassle. I should've asked Eden for help♪
But no matter, after midnight, it's my birthday♪
As such a cute girl, I've got to look absolutely stunning♪"
Soon,
dressed in a white skirt, she adjusted her phone's camera and opened the streaming app.
However,
she hadn't anticipated diving straight into a livestream "PK" right from the start.
"Hi♪"
"Missed me?♪"
"No matter when or where, Elysia will always meet your expectations♪"
Outside the coffee shop, Su Chen lay sprawled on the ground, motionless.
Ding~
Jing Yuan felt a notification on his phone and checked it. "Yo? Guinaifen's streaming again?"
"She's got some guts. Su Chen explicitly banned her, and she's still streaming?"
"It's not a big deal. Before the Luofu opened, Su Chen was strict, but lately, he's been turning a blind eye." As he spoke, Jing Yuan opened the livestream.
Guinaifen's voice boomed, "Thanks to [Herta's #1 Simp] for dropping by!"
Fu Xuan blinked. "Boss, [Herta's #1 Simp] is you? You've spent a lot, huh?"
Jing Yuan scratched his head, laughing awkwardly. "Haha, just supporting one of our own."
"Fair enough."
"Guinaifen, another PK?" Jing Yuan watched the screen, cranking up the volume.
"Hi, missed me?"
"!!!"
Su Chen's body jolted as if electrified, rocketing to his feet behind Jing Yuan with a whoosh.
He brushed the dirt off himself, snatching Jing Yuan's phone. "Lemme see."
Su Chen's eyes locked onto the screen, a spark igniting within them.
A girl in a white skirt appeared on the screen:
"No matter when or where, Elysia will always meet your expectations."
"Elysia!!!" Su Chen frantically rubbed his chin. "It's actually Elysia?"
"You know her well?" Jing Yuan looked at Su Chen, puzzled.
Su Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He handed the phone back to Jing Yuan, then opened the streaming app himself.
"Amazing! I actually ran into this, hahaha…"
"Master, is Teacher Su Chen losing it?" Yanqing tilted his head toward Jing Yuan.
"No worries. The world could go mad, and he'd still be sane."
Inside a house, Elysia sat at her desk, continuing to interact with the chat.
Clearly, the livestream PK had ended.
"Hope everyone's happy every day♪" Elysia glanced at the clock on her desk.
"It's almost midnight♪"
"How's everyone's day been?♪"
She seemed to be speaking to the chat, or perhaps to her friends.
Just then,
a comment floated across the livestream: [Asayu Nanaya gifted an "Astral Express"]
"Ah♪"
Elysia hesitated briefly. "Thank you, Asayu Nanaya, for the gift, but don't do that again, okay?♪"
The chat began to scroll:
[MinYu: Big shot's killing it! 666!]
[YiSheng: A big shot we've never seen before.]
[CanFinderPaDoor: For real, never seen this ID. @Asayu Nanaya, wanna join the group and enter the Elysian Church?]
[NanYanZhai: Big shot just shot to rank two!]
[OneCuteEly♪: Big shot's OP, I'm shaking.]
[Asayu Nanaya gifted an "Astral Express"]
The chat exploded with "666," "Big shot's OP," and "Nanaya's mighty"!
[Asayu Nanaya: Pink Fairy Miss, you gotta visit miHoYo's interactive film city. The people there are handsome and talk nicely.]
"Thanks for the gift, but if you keep sending them, I'll really get mad♪" Elysia crossed her arms, puffing up her cheeks.
[Asayu Nanaya: Alright, Pink Fairy Miss, go to miHoYo's interactive film city, find Himeko's Coffee Shop, and just sit there. Whatever you do, don't drink the coffee!]
"Mm-hmm♪"
At that moment, the midnight chime rang.
Elysia looked at the ticking numbers, smiling warmly. "Today's my birthday. I want to celebrate it with everyone watching. Sound good?♪"
"I don't want to be apart from you all for even a second♪"
"Good?♪"
[MinYu: Yes! Fairy Miss, I wanna be your dog!!!]
[OneCuteEly♪: Huh~ What's this? Pink? Chomp! What's that?! Chomp!]
[NanYanZhai: Elysia, a girl as dazzling as falling petals, and my love for her burns like fire! Happy birthday, Elysia.]
[…]
"Thanks for everyone's blessings♪"
"But I want to do something meaningful with you all. What should we do?♪" Elysia tapped her lips lightly with her index finger.
A prominent comment floated by,
[World's No.1 Patriot: Watch the Star Rail web drama movie Night of Cosmic Illusions! My dad's roommate's in it.]
"Star Rail web drama? I love watching it too. Since everyone's into it♪"
After some fiddling, Elysia switched the livestream source to her computer,
searched, clicked, and was about to start playing.
But the chat raised a soul-searching question.
[Streaming this openly won't get your channel banned, right?]
[For real, streaming platforms and web dramas are separate things!]
[Better warn Elysia, or her channel's toast.]
[SuperAdmin: No worries, Pink Fairy Miss's livestream is authorized by miHoYo to play any Star Rail web drama content without restrictions.]
[???]
[???]
[???]
[Huh?]
[No way, joking, right? miHoYo personally authorized?]
[SuperAdmin: Truer than gold. miHoYo's boss called just now.]
[As expected of Pink Fairy Miss, her magic's something else!]
[Pink Fairy Miss, hope she stars in the Star Rail web drama too.]
[Exactly, exactly! Can't wait for Elysia's performance.]
At that moment, the livestream's popularity skyrocketed.
"All set♪"
Elysia clicked the video. To ensure smooth playback, she turned off the chat and adjusted her avatar to a perfect size—neither blocking the view nor too small.
"Alright, everyone, let's watch together♪"
