["Wow! Wow! Wow!" Alice couldn't believe her eyes, she circled the elf maiden again and again.]

[If it weren't for the Mother Tree Crystal of the elf maiden telling her that the girl in front of her harbored no ill intentions, she would have really considered the possibility of taking action.]

["Hi there!" Alice greeted the elf maiden very warmly, "I'm Alice! Alice Hozerville, nice to meet you."]

[Seeing Alice's familiar hand extended towards her, the elf maiden looked at Alice with confusion.]

[Are we close or something?]

[Alice gave the elf a bright and enthusiastic smile.]

[The elf maiden, almost instinctively, shook Alice's hand and introduced herself, "I'm Aina, Aina Modena."]

Shen Sui stumbled, almost spilling the instant noodles in his hand on the floor.

No!

Wait a second!

I remember "Dawn Link" is supposed to be an all-ages game, right?

Why the hell don't I remember doing anything to Freymia?

Where did this elf maiden with the surname Modena come from?

Shen Sui took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, and pondered over the game's elf race setting, forming a rough guess in his mind.

["Modena?!!!" Alice's voice went up several octaves.]

[Aina asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?"]

["Of course, it's strange!" Alice gestured wildly, "Do you know whose surname Modena is?"]

[Aina blinked in confusion.]

["Twilight Bishop, Claude Modena!" Alice proudly gave a thumbs-up, "He once had an indescribable relationship with Elf Empress Freymia!"]

Slander!

You're slandering me~!

But this time, Shen Sui's confidence was somewhat lacking.

Before, he was so confident because in his second playthrough, he really had no ill intentions.

But now, judging by Qishala's behavior, Shen Sui suspected that this real Dawn Continent might have merged with his first playthrough saves, right?

If it's the first playthrough, Shen Sui had quite a lot to say about his dealings with Freymia.

["Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Aina quickly denied, "My mother has nothing to do with the Twilight Bishop!"]

[Aina was very certain of this because she had a very clear origin.]

[To prove this, Aina started explaining the elf race's unique transmission method to Alice.]

[Aina is a Holy Child Elf.]

At this point, Shen Sui was certain.

Holy Child Elf is a rather special individual in the elf race.

They are not offspring born through reproduction but are elves transformed from the fruit born by the elf race's Holy Tree, one of the seven sacred artifacts of the Dawn Continent, the Natural Holy Tree. In the legend of the elf race, the origin of elves comes from the Natural Holy Tree, so these elves directly born from the Natural Holy Tree are called Holy Child Elves.

As the Empress of the elf race, Freymia is obligated to nurture Holy Child Elves, which is one of her sources of legitimacy for her throne. Therefore, it's not surprising for Holy Child Elf Aina to become Freymia's daughter.

In Shen Sui's first playthrough, he threatened Freymia with the Natural Holy Tree to force her to compromise with him.

After all, during that time, he was a newbie who tried all sorts of schemes, uncovering some gameplay tactics that most people never thought of.

Compared to ordinary elves, Holy Child Elves have a very smooth upgrade curve. They never encounter any barriers to advancement; even if they nap every day, by the time they are five hundred years old, they will naturally become a fourteenth-level Elf Mage.

Aina is only four hundred years old, still just a newly adult girl among the elf race.

["Oh..." Alice let out a sigh of relief.]

No, why are you relieved knowing Aina is not Freymia's biological daughter?

["So Claude wasn't cheated on."]

Oh, so you were relieved because of that?

Shen Sui felt rather gratified, at least Alice genuinely cared about his romantic life.

If only she wasn't so fond of matchmaking.

Every time she encounters a woman of his same era, she assumes they are a couple, which is highly inaccurate.

[Alice began telling Aina stories about what happened in the City of Sin.]

[Aina had never left the Elf Forest, and in her four-hundred-year worldview, the whole world consisted only of the forest and the Spring of Eternal Life where her mother resided.]

[She was amazed by the stories Alice told, actually starting to admire this young girl who dared to face the gods for the sake of friends.]

[If possible, she also hoped to have such a friend, someone who would stand up for her in her greatest time of need.]

[Anna, sitting beside Alice, listened to her story with a blissful smile.]

[Aina's favorability towards Alice massively increased.]

[The elders of the tribe often terrorized Aina with their educational methods, fearing she would be bewitched by a human man like her mother Freymia was and end up permanently sealed in the Spring of Eternal Life.]

[Hence, Aina had an innate fear of human society. But when Alice appeared in front of her, and when Alice told an interesting story with lively enthusiasm, the vast difference between education and perception pushed Aina to another extreme: she trusted Alice too much.]

Shen Sui, seeing this, also felt relieved that Aina's first human acquaintance was Alice. Otherwise, with her naive demeanor, she'd surely be deceived if she encountered a malicious person.

[Alice used Barbecue Technique on Aina.]

[They ate barbecue and talked more and more.]

[Aina's favorability toward Alice increased again.]

["Seal?" Alice finally got around to talking about Freymia's seal with Aina.]

[Aina showed a melancholy expression because her mother Freymia was sealed in the Spring of Eternal Life by the Twilight Saintess over a thousand years ago.]

Shen Sui knew about this; he saw the record of this event in Vivian's diary.

Freymia attempted to crown herself as the new Goddess of Nature but was sealed by Vivian.

This was already Vivian showing mercy; based on how she dealt with other former comrades, outright killing would have been more merciful.

[It's a catfight out of jealousy!]

[Alice made her judgment in her heart.]

No! Don't hastily understand the conflict between two women as a catfight out of jealousy!

Shen Sui nearly spat out blood seeing Alice's inner thoughts.

["Don't worry!" Alice patted her chest and said to Aina, "I will rescue your mother!"]

[Aina looked at Alice in surprise: "That's the Twilight Saintess' seal!"]

The woman herself is the daughter of the Twilight Saintess, and look at Vivian's gear she's flaunting; it's even closer than a biological daughter's, isn't it?

["So what!" Alice said firmly.]

[For Claude's happiness, it's imperative to let Freymia see the light of day again.]

Don't go after such bizarre motivations!

["You are my friend, Aina!"]

[Aina's eyes sparkled with stars.]

[Ding! You've obtained a Follower Card: Holy Child Elf Aina]

You gotta be kidding, you are too easily fooled!
