Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"Don't worry, Boss Kevin, everything will be alright. I swear on Alicia's honor, no one will get hurt."

Smiling, Shihen opened his palm, revealing a colorless, transparent, prismatic crystal.

It slowly emerged.

"..."

Kevin's eyes gleamed as he looked at the transparent crystal in front of him that exuded a strong Herrscher aura.

At this point, he could probably understand why the other party was able to bypass the rules and appear in the Paradise of the Past.

"I will keep an eye on you."

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Kevin finally nodded and said.

"Then, let's welcome our greatest patron in this paradise." Shihen said, rising to his feet. A slight smile played on his lips as he looked at a black-haired boy outside the pavilion who bore the same appearance as his true form.

That was the Herrscher of Corruption, deliberately guided by him.

By using the rules of the Musician to create a large amount of redundant data, Time Mark successfully convinced the Herrscher of Corruption that he was the strongest person in Paradise.

At the same time, it makes the other party believe that as long as they can defeat him, they will be able to take the first step in conquering the world.

After consuming this redundant data, the Corruptor, whose mind was filled with thoughts of completing himself, naturally sought out the source of that data—the boy in Paradise himself.

"Ah~~"

Emerging from its throat with muffled sounds, the newly born Herrscher of Corruption fearlessly charged at two of the three pillars of Paradise, like a fledgling bird that had just learned to fly and was trying to challenge a high mountain.

P.S.: I can only try to update more tomorrow, *cough*...

Chapter 214 Mei's keen insight reveals the truth, and the young man's fame finally shines in Paradise.

The next day, the Eternal Paradise remained peaceful and tranquil.

"Ta-da! This is it, the treasure trove that holds all the secrets of Paradise, the repository of all the truths of Paradise. I plan to name it... Paradise Archives!"

Feigning difficulty, Alicia pushed open a not-at-all-heavy wooden door, then spread her arms wide and said in an exaggerated tone, "How about it? Isn't it a perfect fit?"

As she spoke, Alicia glanced at Mei and Durandal behind her, her blue eyes sparkling like stars.

"...So, this is just a simple archive room?"

Mei raised an eyebrow involuntarily and said irritably, her gaze towards the fairy lady filled with suspicion.

After her exploration of Eternal Paradise came to an end, the other party proposed to take her and Durandal to experience more of the reality of Eternal Paradise.

But in the end... they just found an archive room?

Is there anything special about this?

With curious eyes, Durandal looked around the [Paradise Archives], which was not much different from any other archives, and asked the question very honestly.

"of course!"

She puffed out her chest, her face brimming with pride, "This is the archives of the Paradise of the Past, containing the most accurate and reliable data from the Paradise."

"But a normal archive shouldn't record false information, right?" Durandal asked, puzzled.

In an instant, Alicia's gaze toward the golden, dizzy goose turned resentful.

Although she had no evidence, she suspected that the other party was deliberately trying to sabotage her.

Normally, the next question should be how she ensures the authenticity of this archive, right?

How can you guarantee that the information here is accurate?

Mei pulled away from her mouth and asked, while casually picking up a file and flipping through it. Her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

Having witnessed the scene described in the file in the memory of a heroine, she was certain that at least this file was accurate.

"uh-huh!"

Upon hearing this, Alicia immediately became proud again, "Then of course it's thanks to it!"

As she spoke, Alicia pointed to a typewriter-like device in the center of the archives.

"This is... a typewriter?"

Durandal said somewhat uncertainly.

Although the device in front of her looks like just a typewriter, since Alicia has placed it here so solemnly, it is obviously not an ordinary typewriter.

“Please call it the Magic Typewriter!” Alicia corrected with a smile.

Mei: So, isn't this still a typewriter?

"So how do you use this magical typewriter?" Durandal asked seriously.

Seeing how quickly the blonde Valkyrie had accepted the new setting, Mei silently distanced herself from her.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, she doesn't want to be infected with Durandal's stupidity.

"Hmph! This is when we need to bring out our little archives assistant!"

With a smile on her face, Alicia pointed to the doll that was leaning against the table like a puppet.

"..."

Upon seeing the doll in front of her, which had the same appearance as Alicia but with fairy-like wings and a magic wand, Mei was speechless.

Just how narcissistic is this guy?

"Armed puppets?"

Surprised, Durandal poked the doll's cheek with her finger, the touch feeling incredibly soft, just like a real young girl's skin.

Without a doubt, this doll was made using the versatile Soul Steel material. "It's Fairy Airi."

With a slight flick of her tongue, Alicia corrected her, her smile deepening. "As long as you say the correct activation phrase, Fairy Ali will come to your aid. How about it, want to give it a try?"

After glancing at Mei, who had somehow retreated to the corner, and then at the eager pink fairy in front of her, Durandal finally nodded. "What's the activation key?"

"Yes…"

Leaning close to Durandal's ear, Alicia whispered, "R-Do you really want to do this?"

Feeling the fairy lady's warm breath on her ear, Durandal's face instantly turned red.

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

Without hesitation, Alicia looked at the girl with a smile in her eyes.

Meaning, "Remember, you must shout it out loud with sincerity."

Otherwise, if the emotions aren't strong enough, it's impossible to activate the fairy Airi.

As she spoke, Alicia glanced at Mei, who had clearly distanced herself from her, and a hint of resentment crept into her azure eyes.

"I don't have to."

Before the fairy could speak, Mei said with undisguised aloofness, "If it's just to activate Fairy Ellie, Durandal alone is enough."

Even if she didn't know what the activation key was, based on her understanding of Alicia, it definitely wasn't anything legitimate.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Durandal's eyes immediately filled with resentment.

While that is indeed the case, isn't it a bit too much to only promote her?

些?

Taking a deep breath to suppress her emotions, Durandal controlled herself to enter a state of focus, and the expression on her face gradually returned to calm.

After a long pause, Durandal suddenly opened her cherry lips and cried out, "Help me, Alicia!"

Sia...

elegant……

Suddenly, the Valkyrie's powerful voice rang out, echoing against the walls of the archives.

"Should this be enough?"

Looking at the fairy lady beside her, Durandal blushed even her snow-white neck.

They were all in one place, but one pair of eyes remained steadfast and unwavering.

As a knight with Kaslana's blood flowing through her veins, she would do everything in her power to complete anything she had promised, no matter how difficult it might be.

Keeping her word—that's her code of chivalry!

Meeting the unwavering and ardent gaze of the female knight, Alicia couldn't help but open her mouth wide, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Although I know Durandal is usually quite straightforward, to this extent... isn't it time she went to see Sue?

Mei, watching Durandal's behavior, couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead.

If he's like this even in front of Alicia, then when facing the even more cunning and treacherous [Walter White], he must be completely fooled without even realizing it, right?

Even though Mei had never had much affection for the fallen knight, at this moment, all she felt for her was deep pity and sorrow.

"Program starting..."

In the silence, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out. It was Ellie, the fairy on the table, who had finally opened her eyes. "Wow! Humans! And two of them!"

As her gaze swept over Mei and Durandal in front of her, the fairy Ellie immediately flapped her fairy-tale-like wings and flew up, a radiant smile spreading across her delicate face.

"Hello, humans! I'm Airi, a fairy from the Kingdom of Celestial Music. I traveled across the world to meet you all~"

Waving her little arms vigorously, the fairy Ellie greeted them warmly. "Y-hello, my name is Durandal."

The lingering embarrassment on her face deepened, and the female knight spoke in as calm a tone as possible.

"Now can you tell us how to use this typewriter?" Mei said calmly as she finally approached, her gaze fixed on the small doll in front of her like that of a hawk.

"Oh dear! You human are really going too far! You didn't even say hello before trying to command such a cute and delicate fairy, Airi?"

Immediately, she began to complain. Fairy Airi fluttered her wings and flew up and down, like a little bee performing a strange dance.

"..."

Mei's gaze shifted to the fairy-like girl beside her, her eyes turning somewhat cold.

"Don't look at me like that, Mei. I wasn't behind this."

Naturally sensing the emotions the girl was trying to convey, Alicia immediately defended herself: "Although the doll is modeled after me, everything about Fairy Alicia is independent, and there are no backdoor programs. So, this time it was Mei who didn't follow Fairy Alicia's rules."

Seeing this clearly blatant attempt to shirk responsibility, Mei sighed softly, and after a long pause, finally spoke up: "Fairy Airi, my name is Raiden Mei. I hope you can teach us how to use this typewriter."

"Hmph! Fairy Airi has already received this sentiment from humans."

Only then did it stop its erratic flying. Fairy Airi responded with a smile, "However, this isn't a typewriter."

To be precise, its name is "[Paradise Information Database Data Acquisition and Control...Control...]".

As she spoke, the fairy Ellie seemed to suddenly stop, and her voice gradually lowered.

Mei:

Is this armed doll really reliable?

Why did she feel that the other party, like the Book of Azure Mystery, possessed extraordinary uses?

"It must be the [Paradise Information Database Data Acquisition Console Interactive Output Printer]."

Durandal added.

"How do you know?"

Upon hearing this, the fairy Ellie was immediately horrified.

"There are labels here."

The female knight pointed to a corner of the typewriter.

Her expression faltered slightly, but the fairy Ellie quickly straightened up and continued, "To be precise, its name is [Paradise Information Database]..."

The fairy Ellie's voice trailed off again.

Meiyi: "..."

Even if you want to pretend none of this happened, at least write down the full name of the typewriter, right?

"In short, this typewriter can directly connect to the memories of heroes, thus printing out the most accurate facts."
