What is it that splashes and pours down like a nourishing rain?
A spirit as splendid as gold.
A beauty as radiant as gold.
A history as glorious as gold!
A civilization as prosperous and flourishing as gold!
Eden's voice resonated at just the right moment, echoing with a touch of divine solemnity.
[May civilization endure like scattered sparks.]
[May this world shine as brilliantly as gold.]
Golden wine, in a golden cup.
The liquid within flowed like a river of gold, becoming a shimmering glow upon the sand table before her.
She was like a lofty deity, yet not distant or cold—gazing down upon the civilization below with the gentle care of a nurturing mother.
Oh my god.
The technical quality has leveled up again!
Many clearly sensed that the earlier illustrations were just Live2D, but now? Just watching it feels immersive, as if you're really there.
It genuinely feels like witnessing something vast and magnificent.
But then you rub your eyes and look again.
Only to realize—
The illustration is still the same illustration.
The animated image is still the same animated image.
It's just that the Aeon feels like a higher-dimensional existence; even as a mere projection, it's so awe-inspiring it captivates the heart and mind.
The previous illustrations of Mobius, Sakura, and Rin definitely didn't deliver this kind of experience.
It feels like going from 2D to 3D—even after the initial shock, it's hard to calm down.
"Eden, look! So cool—this version of you!" Elysia tugged at Eden's hand, bouncing excitedly.
Eden stared dazedly at the illustration of her future self, also taken aback. "My dear Elysia, in the future, you're just the same. Perhaps even more remarkable than I!"
"Mei? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Kevin suddenly noticed Mei's gaze and felt a little flustered.
"I was thinking… 'Kevin the Savior,' 'Kevin the Savior'… When you're spoken of like that, does it mean you too, are an Aeon?"
After all, there's Xipe the Harmony, Aha the Elation… Eden of Wealth, Mobius the Infinity…
Even if it's unclear why Kevin is associated with "savior," maybe he's incredibly impressive too.
"Ha… No way, right? I'm not that amazing."
Kevin scratched his head. "Maybe it's just a title? Like how many warriors have epithets."
"But that still means you're a remarkable warrior," Sakura said earnestly.
She and Kevin got along well.
Earlier, when she saw Kevin training—a bit clumsy, without much structure—she offered some guidance.
Just like that, back and forth, they became familiar.
She often sparred with him during training.

Meanwhile, on screen, Miss Yuzu and Vita along with Griseo continued chatting idly about official and unofficial histories, sharing legends related to Eden.
Before long, things were nearly wrapping up.
[Alright~]
[That's all for this video!]
[Mmm~]
[As usual, let's do a preview for the next episode~]
[Let me see… From the Previous Era, the only ones left from the young lady's harem are Aponia and Vill-V. Which one should we start with? Let's put it to a vote.]
[1. Aponia]
[2. Vill-V]
[I'll decide the next episode's content based on everyone's votes!]
Right at that moment, chibi Vita suddenly interrupted the uploader's flow, cutely raising her little hand.
[What if the votes are tied?]
[Then I'll update both at once~]
The Vtuber blurted out instinctively, then covered her mouth as if she'd said something wrong.
--+--
"Got it, loud and clear!"
"So where exactly is the vote button?!"
"Dammit, we people from the past have rights too! We want to tip, we want to like—give us access!"
Some found it amusing.
Others kept on shouting.
Same as always.
Go on, shout till you're hoarse—yelling at the sky won't change a thing.
So frustrating~
Just when everyone thought it was over, there was more.
--+--
Chibi Vita was still stirring up trouble.
[Why are you only covering the young lady's harem from the Previous Era?]
[That means girls like me and Griseo who joined later don't get any screen time at all!]
[So biased! So unfair!]
In the projection, Miss Yuzu sighed helplessly.
[Because my initial goal was to focus on the young lady's harem to share interesting stories from the Previous Era.]
[Most things from the New Era are already common knowledge, aren't they?]
[If I'm only covering the Previous Era, of course you're not included!]
--+--
"So I wanna know—just how many wives does the young lady have?"
"Must be an enviable number."
"Mobius, the Sakura-Rin sisters, Elysia, Jyahnar, Eden, Aponia, Vill-V…"
"And that's just the so-called Previous Era."
"What about the Current Era?"
Some are dying of thirst, others are drowning.
Some are still single.
Some are already feeling the strain—their kidneys are complaining.
Fun fact:
The Previous Era only lasted about five or six thousand years, and we're probably in the late Previous Era now.
But the Current Era spans around fifty-five thousand years.
The contrast is just insane.
[So, I have an idea.]
Chibi Vita suggested with a grin.
[How about we dedicate a special episode, a spin-off, to properly list all the members of the young lady's harem and give a brief introduction?]
[Covering both the Previous and Current Eras?]
The uploader raised an eyebrow.
[Of course!]
Chibi Vita was eager, while Griseo was already facepalming.
[Since you've been covering the young lady's harem for so many episodes, there must be people curious about just how many there are and who they all are.]
[Right?]
--+--
"Yes, yes, yes! I want to see!"
"We want to see!"
Some just want to admire the beauties.
Others want to analyze the composition of the young lady's future harem to get a sense of what the future political landscape might be like.
You can always glean some clues.
It's like the harems of ancient emperors—you think it was all about looks? It was always about the three palaces and six chambers, and family background mattered too.
True commoner empresses were few and far between.
But here, it's not really an issue.
Aside from Jyahnar possibly competing with Elysia for the main wife position, probably no one else stands a chance.
And yet, it's Elysia who's cheering the loudest down below.
Which makes a lot of people feel like it might not be the young lady's harem so much as Elysia's harem.
What's there to see?
The young lady belongs to Elysia too.
Any problem with that?
"That's so you!" Himeko gave a thumbs-up.
Glancing over at Kiana, Kiana pretended to be resigned but was clearly already used to it.
Right then, chibi Vita continued, almost like she was tattling, raising her index finger.
[You still don't know, do you, little Yuzu?]
[Huh?]
