Can the sadness that magic cannot take away be offset by love?

Olivia raised her eyes and looked at the smiling gray-haired girl and said:

"The person Miss Baiying is writing to does not exist."

She used affirmative sentences, not questions.

The first few letters showed Miss Bai Ying's guilt and uneasiness that she might have offended the other party, as well as her slight hesitation about the relationship between the two parties.

In most of the letters, Miss Bai Ying and her lover never met.

There was only one letter saying that the lover came to Daisy Flower Country as a guest.

The above and more information can only be used as clues to assist in inference. The most critical point is actually-

"Short blond hair, a mole on the neck, and the ability to sing the ballad of Daisy Flower Country... This is a marginal character in the book that Miss Baiying first showed me."

Olivia thought while saying:

"Thirteen letters... each letter probably corresponds to a chapter in the same order in the new book."

That new book... was specially written by Miss Bai Ying for her lover.

"She fell in love with a character in an old book, so she wrote a new book specifically for him and paired each chapter with a letter to him?"

Olivia looked at Iris suspiciously:

"I thought this kind of plot would only happen to certain game audiences out there. For a writer, it's a bit unbelievable."

Iris shrugged:

"But you have to know that this story originally came from a novel in the outside world - the kind that has a long history."

Olivia was convinced.

"and--"

Iris looked at her meaningfully,

"Aren't you feeling the false beauty firsthand?"

Olivia fell silent.

When the wind stopped, she asked:

"What's the ending of this story? It can't be -"

"She went to find him,"

Iris said,

"She left this world."

Olivia's calm expression was filled with strange emotions:

"'Leave'? What do you mean?"

Did she die, or did Bai Ying leave the "world" she was in just like they entered this "world"?

Iris shook her head:

"I do not know."

In Olivia's shocked and doubtful eyes, she said sincerely:

"The original words at the end are, 'One day, she will leave this world to find her lover.' Before that, the book described Bai Ying's daily life in Daisy Flower Village and her love for him. There is a description of Shiro Ying dying, and there is no common concept of entertainment works such as 'traveling to and from different worlds'. It's just that she left on a day that was no different from usual."

Olivia was speechless for a long time before saying:

"The main mission is to 'leave'. Either we leave - which is equivalent to ending this copy, or we help Bai Ying leave.

"My inclination is...we need to help her 'leave' first."

Iris answered:

"Then there is a big problem - how to help? It is impossible for us to help a virtual character leave her native replica world, unless we are programmers with magic skills - and even so, she will not be able to help. It will not become a real 'existence'. What's more, she is going to a world she wrote..."

The contradiction between falsehood and reality is also the contradiction between ideal and reality from another perspective.

If this contradiction exists in reality, it may be broken through bloodshed and death, but if even the existence of one of the contradictory parties is false...

There was no hope at all.

For Iris and Olivia, Bai Ying pursues something more "false" for the sake of "falseness", which is simply...

"Unreasonable."

Olivia said calmly.

"Even if Bai Ying is treated as a real person, her so-called 'lover' does not exist from the beginning, where can she find it? Even if she uses all the means available in reality to recreate her ideal My ‘lover’, doesn’t she know that it’s fake?”

Iris stretched out her hand:

"It seems that we are both staunch realists."

Olivia glanced at her hand, and Iris read the carelessness and perfunctoriness in her eyes. Olivia held her hand back for a moment, then let it go absentmindedly.

As Iris said, she is more concerned about practical issues:

"The name of the copy is an obvious reminder that we need to start with the remaining three letters that have not yet been written..."

The two discussed for a while, and Olivia walked away first. Iris looked at her back with a smile on her lips.

So, when you made the suggestion "let me stay in this copy forever", did you think - didn't I know that it was false?

Suddenly, Iris's face darkened.

Olivia is not stupid. She asked this question, is the drunkard's intention not to drink?

Or, like last time, knowing that she doesn't trust the Novello family, just change the goal to make her trust Olivia? Trust has a great influence on the performance of illusions...

She couldn't understand Olivia's "exposure" from time to time, and she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. What were the two possible directions?

Iris rubbed her brows for an unknown number of times.
