In Liyue, beneath the Statue of the Archon.
Ruola sobbed in her brother's embrace for a long time again, finally getting her emotions under control.
"Brother, how long can I maintain this state?"
She was already dead; her current appearance here must be due to the great power of the two Archons.
Diluc opened his mouth, unsure what to say.
He truly couldn't bring himself to say that she only had one day left, and he absolutely dared not look at his sister's expression once she knew.
"Ruola, you have one last day. In this final day, do whatever you want. Even if you leave, do so without regrets."
Venti said this; among those present, he was the most suitable.
Although Lumine and Paimon were Ruola's good friends, they were outsiders after all, having only known Ruola for a few months.
There was even less need to mention Diluc; it would be too cruel to make him say these words himself.
After Venti spoke, everyone present secretly observed Ruola's expression.
However, to their surprise, Ruola showed no sadness or disappointment; instead, she smiled:
"So there's still one day? I thought it was only a few hours… Since there's still one day, many things I couldn't complete, can I complete them now?"
"Just thinking about it makes me happy. I didn't expect that even after dying, I would still have such an opportunity! Thank you so much, Barbatos!"
Venti gave a bitter smile.
He didn't make it in time, he let his people die in his territory. Why don't you blame him, even just a word would be fine…
Ruola stood up and walked towards Lumine and Paimon, giving Lumine a big hug:
"Lumine, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."
Ruola's words were completely sincere, because there were still six more personas to come.
Lumine shook her head repeatedly, holding Ruola tightly:
"I will avenge you!"
Lumine's words were not only her own heartfelt sentiment but also the sentiment of many players.
"No, that guy is very powerful. I just want you to be safe."
After hugging Lumine, Ruola looked at Paimon, whose small face was tear-stained from crying.
Looking at little Paimon, Ruola felt both sad for her and wanted to laugh.
In the end, she couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Paimon, who had already extended her hands for a hug with Ruola, immediately looked crestfallen, hugged her small hands, turned her head away, and gave a heavy huff:
"Ruola is too hateful! Paimon doesn't want to be friends with Ruola anymore!"
Ruola quickly leaned in:
"Little Paimon, I'm sorry. It's just that you looked so cute just now. Please forgive me, okay~"
Paimon wasn't angry to begin with, and with a wail, she hugged Ruola's neck:
"Wuwu, Ruola, Paimon thought I would never see you again, wuwuwu~"
Paimon's small body was shaking with sobs. Ruola quickly hugged and comforted her, and it took a while for Paimon to recover.
"Paimon, am I still number one on your good person ranking?"
"Mhm, Ruola will always be Paimon's number one!"
"Hehe… Paimon, if you run out of money later, come find me… Brother, my brother has so much money, he'll definitely give it to you!"
As she spoke, Ruola also looked at her brother.
Diluc quickly nodded vigorously.
Ruola put the small crown she had accidentally grabbed onto Paimon's head. How strange, could this crown actually be taken off?
Finally, Ruola said to her brother:
"Brother, before I leave, I want to go see my good friends and say goodbye to them. Can I?"
Diluc stood beside his sister: "I'll go with you."
On this last day, he wanted to stay by his sister's side. No matter where she went, he would follow.
"Paimon, Paimon wants to go too!"
After Paimon spoke, she cautiously looked at Ruola: "C-can I?"
"Of course! Lumine, you have to come too. You two are my very good friends!"
Lumine readily agreed.
Seeing that Ruola hadn't mentioned him, Venti couldn't help but cough:
"Ruola, what about me?"
"Eh? Does Barbatos also have time?"
"Barbatos always has plenty of time~"
"Mhm, then let's go together!"

Liyue, Yujing Terrace.
An hour ago, Mu Qingge was still at home having dinner with her parents and sister.
Ruola's situation still had a great impact on her. Although her fate was sealed the moment she came to this world, still…
Seventeen years, almost eighteen years.
How many seventeen years can one have in a lifetime?
In her limited time, she felt she should spend more time with her family.
Mu Qingge seemed to be staring blankly at Liyue Harbor below, but in reality, she was waiting for Ruola and her group to arrive, and also thinking about her own exit that Malice had pushed her to.
"Qingge!"
This was a voice Mu Qingge was very familiar with, but shouldn't have heard again.
When this lively voice appeared in Mu Qingge's ear, she thought she was hallucinating.
"Qingge, what are you doing here?"
Turning her head quickly, Mu Qingge saw Ruola running towards her, followed by Lumine, Diluc, and others.
"Ro-Ruola?!"
Ruola directly flew into her arms. To prevent her from getting hurt, Mu Qingge took several steps back the moment they embraced.
Although the two were the same age, anyone who saw them would think Qingge was the older one.
Passionate people are like this, and what's more, Ruola only had one day left, so no one would criticize her for being a little willful.
"Ruola, is it really you?!"
Cupping Ruola's small face, it was a real touch!
"Of course, look, it's the real deal!"
"This… what exactly is going on?!"
"…"
Being emotional with herself, how should one describe this feeling? It was very peculiar.
As they got into the swing of things, the two hugged each other again.
When Jiang Mumu was tired from work, she used to crave her mother's embrace. She felt that if her mother gave her a hug, she would forget all her troubles and be re-energized!
Ruola and Qingge probably both needed a hug right now…
---
As the two exchanged dramatic performances and expressed their feelings, Lumine and the others watched from the side.
Paimon couldn't help but exclaim, "Ruola and Qingge have a great relationship!"
Diluc looked at his sister tenderly, while explaining to Lumine and the others:
"Ruola and Miss Qingge from Liyue have known each other for a long time. Although their personalities are different, they surprisingly get along very well."
"After Ruola obtained her Vision, I originally wanted to teach her Westwind Swordplay, but after she came to Liyue and played for a few days, she returned wanting to learn spear arts. She said spear arts were very cool and could show her heroic demeanor as a great hero in the future… Haha…"
Diluc let out a soft laugh, though there was a hint of bitterness in his voice.
---
Ruola and Mu Qingge talked about many things during their meeting, but most of it was for show.
What could she and herself possibly talk about?
In the end, Ruola did not tell Qingge that she only had one day left, because if she did, with Mu Qingge's personality, she would naturally want to accompany her for that last day, which was not appropriate.
Moreover, it didn't fit Ruola's character.
Ruola was very open-minded. After promising Qingge they would meet again, she prepared to leave.
After all, compared to others, Qingge wouldn't have an emotional reaction to herself.
And after they left, Mu Qingge sat down dejectedly, her eyes fixed on the direction they had departed:
"Ruola, may you, in these final moments, Bloom with a little happiness like a blossoming flower, and do what you want to do, leaving no regrets…"
---
In the live stream room.
: "Although Ruola didn't say it, Qingge seems to already know."
: "It's the last day, but Ruola still doesn't want her good friend to be sad for her."
