Elysia gave Althea a big package of souvenirs and healthy baby snacks. She then looked at Ophelia. "What about your new standing and the others’ stances towards your new position as the port town’s landlady? Do they cause you any difficulties?"
Ophelia recalled many jealous individuals. They were eyeing her position, whether they were humans or monsters. "So problems occurred, but I have taken care of them properly. Thanks to your protection and Cube Island’s military force, I can secure my new position well."
She wasn’t weak and her backer also left so protection for her little family. Although she was still recovering, she was still an SS-class Multiform Jelly Queen with deadly venoms.
The Phylum Tower beca the faction feared by many as it served as the gatekeeper for the Cube Island. Even the Phylum Tower’s symbol got imprinted next to Cube Island’s logo to all flagships-class warships that visited the Cube Island because it had beco a secure identity to prevent attacks by any kind of monsters. Not even monsters dared to ss with this kind of force!
"Siren!" Althea pointed her finger at the nearby pink rmaid in surprise.
"Si-siren? M-?" Dory pointed at her face. She knew about the ntioned siren, and this rfolk variant resembled a rmaid in ability, but not in its beauty and personality!
As for appearance alone, there was a vast difference between them. A rmaid’s appearance was akin to an honorable warrior, gallant and pretty, whereas a siren was a rfolk known as a man-eating sea monster! Apart from the voice magic and illusion magic, there was nothing special about sirens. They were known as cannibals too!
"Hush, there is no siren as beautiful as this elder sister, Althea. She is Dory, a rmaid Princess of Elysium." Elysia poked Althea’s forehead, introducing the innocent multiform jelly princess to the pink rmaid princess.
"Pink rmaid." Althea nodded in understanding.
"Hello!" Dory waved her hand as she was pleased with it. She shouldn’t be offended by the words of a small baby.
"You’re so smol and cute~" Sylvia brought her face closer and tried to touch the small baby in Elysia’s arms. However, Yuuki and Erina imdiately pulled her back.
"Did you forget that the multiform jellykin is an extrely venomous jellyfish? They may not be the strongest race among the overlords, but their venom is greatly feared even by SSS-class monsters." Yuuki pointed at Ophelia.
"Hum, it’s like the curse. Everything they touch will be poisoned to death. According to the records, only our master can safely touch Ophelia and Althea." Erina nodded in agreent.
"But, I’ve ascended. Shouldn’t I be fine since I’ve beco an immortal?" Sylvia wasn’t too sure. She then tried to touch Althea’s white hair with her finger.
At that mont, the touched hair moved slightly like a strand of thin tentacles, gripping Sylvia’s finger.
"!!!" Sylvia gasped in shock when she found her finger turned purplish-blue all of a sudden. She got poisoned, and it spread quickly to her hand and arm!
"You have been warned." Elysia imdiately held Sylvia’s hand and detoxified the venom.
Sylvia imdiately took a step back, away from Althea. "Uh, thanks, Ely... Lil jelly, your venom is as strong as your mother, huh?"
"Strong!" Althea raised her hands. She wanted to be as strong as her mother and also her Goddess.
"Good grief. Hm?" Elysia looked up as she received a signal from her Goddess sisters.
Lifa, Gaia, Rhea, Fortuna, and Nell had just inspected the world’s barrier that shielded Earth. However, they found no damage of any kind. So, Gaia’s suspicions were unfounded, and they took a huge compensation from the Glorious Council of Gods for nothing.
After playing with Althea for a while, Elysia cast a drowsy spell on Althea and returned the multiform jelly princess to Ophelia.
"Are you leaving so soon?" Ophelia held her precious daughter in her arms with extra care, but she felt that it was a very short eting. She also wished to spend so ti with her Goddess as well.
"We’ll co back again after we take care of so things in this world. If you’re free today, how about you co with us to see the world?" Elysia replied with a wink.
"It’s our utmost honor. This servant shall await your return, Goddess Ely." Ophelia bowed respectfully.
"Then, see you soon." Elysia waved her hand.
She then brought her people to leave the Phylum Tower, teleporting to Japan as they had to visit Erina’s parents.
"..." Erina felt a little complicated to see Minamoto Clan’s mansion up close. It had only been two months, but she felt like it had been years since she left Earth.
"It feels like a long ti has passed. Your father and stepmother are inside. Shall we pay them a visit now?" Elysia nudged Erina.
"Mm." Erina looked at her surroundings. This place was under high security and his father truly took her advice seriously to retreat, taking care of his new wife and unborn successor.
"I have notified Lord Kenji of our visit, miss, milady." Mio put down her versatile device.
"Yeah." Erina nodded. She then went into the mansion, holding Elysia’s hand.
"Erina is a great princess of Minamoto Clan, and she is known as the Golden Diva, and the 3rd richest person in the world. Not her clan or family, but herself. She was also known as the 9th strongest person on Earth, but since she was absent from Earth, her position in rank dropped." Sylvia shared her understanding regarding Erina’s matters with her fellow sisters, especially Jophiel and Gabriella.
"O-oh~" Gabriella and Jophiel nodded in understanding, feeling enlightened. Erina’s achievents before joining their master’s group were already extraordinary.
As they entered the mansion, the butlers and maidservants rushed to the entrance hall. They lined up in two neat rows to greet their lady and honorable guests. "Welco back ho, Lady Erina!"
"Phew, my heart stopped beating for a second at your sudden arrival, my daughter. It would have been much better if you had told beforehand so we could prepare to welco you better." Kenji, Erina’s father, slowly descended the stairs from the second floor while leading his pregnant wife, Yuuko.
"Welco back, Erina." Yuuko greeted Erina with a radiant smile.
"Hm, why did your heart stop beating by my sudden visit, father? Did you do sothing bad during my absence?" Erina raised her eyebrow, suspicious of her father.
"Haha, no. How could I do sothing bad during my retreat?" Kenji wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, feeling a little nervous because his daughter’s aura already resembled an Empress, and it put a little pressure on his heart.
"Hello! Long ti no see."
"Sorry for our sudden visit."
"Pardon for the intrusion."
Elysia, Sylvia, and Yuuki conveyed their simple greetings and were then followed by Dory, Jophiel, and Gabriella.
"Ha ha ha, your visit is always welco! Co in and allow us to entertain you. I want to hear otherworld stories as well." Kenji beckoned his daughter and her friends to go to the living room.
A family luncheon was then held even though it was not yet noon. Kenji wished to celebrate his daughter’s return and if possible, he wished to know so interesting things about the otherworld and Elysia’s circle of friends.
As for the otherworld, Erina briefly described it as a chaotic world. That cruel world was more dangerous than the current Earth, but everything could be put under control. She never t any life-threatening situation because Elysia built a holy sect with countless followers, feared and respected by many.
"Ho ho~ The otherworld is more chaotic than here. The world has been pretty peaceful lately. It’s all thanks to the Cube Island and the Guardian of Dream. But, to think you built a big holy cult in another world, Elysia." Kenji laughed happily, pleased by how Elysia took good care of his daughter.
"Huh?" Jophiel felt that it was really rude. She could understand the multiple languages in this world thanks to her master’s divine assistance, and so, she imdiately refuted dissatisfiedly. "It’s not a cult, but Sacred Sakura Holy Land. Spell the na properly, mister."
"Yeah, it’s my fault. It’s Sacred Sakura Holy Land. It must be a beautiful holy land filled with many cherry blossom trees." Kenji put his hands together, speaking in wonder.
"It’s a paradise in the mortal world, but we only have one Sacred Sakura World Tree on the top of the mountain." Jophiel snorted softly.
"Wow, why is nobody affected by your charm, Jophi? Did the seal also seal your innate charm? Your beauty got reduced as a common girl?" Sylvia put her finger to her chin, observing Jophiel’s face up close while glancing at the males in their surroundings.
"Wha-" Jophiel was taken aback. She checked her appearance in her pocket mirror and then looked at her master. Her appearance was still the sa, and apparently, it was just teasing.
"My beauty remains the sa, never reduced. It’s just my charm is under control. I’m a peerless SSR beauty, you know?" Jophiel was sensitive when it ca to her appearance. She looked at the nearby butlers, and she proved her claim directly. "Look at them. They blushed red and avoided my gaze like a naive virgin teenager."
"Fufu~ Jophi-chan is my most beautiful disciple." Elysia felt amused and gave Jophiel a head pat, but she realized Gabriella looked at her as if waiting for sothing too. Thus, she also gave Gabriella a head pat. "Gab-chan is my most reliable and elegant disciple."
"Hehee~" Jophiel felt comforted.
"Mm..." Gabriella felt flattered and looked down bashfully.
"Hmm... so you also raise disciples." Kenji stroked his chin.
"Father, we need to talk about sothing in private. Just the two of us, I an three of us." Erina grabbed Elysia’s arm.
"Yeah, sure." Kenji scratched his head, wondering what his daughter wanted to talk about in private. He felt a little suspicious and worried considering his daughter was a little twisted and scary. Not to ntion, Elysia was brought into this conversation too...
"Please wait for us here and enjoy the al. Mrs. Yuuko, my sisters, and disciples will be under your care." Elysia raised her hand as Erina led her upstairs.
"My pleasure, Miss Ely. I will entertain them well." Yuuko responded kindly.
A few monts later, Erina brought Elysia and Kenji to her study room. She took out a box from her storage pouch and held Elysia’s hand again, intertwining their fingers.
"Gulp..." Kenji felt pressured. He felt unprepared to hear anything that might co out of his daughter’s mouth.
Considering his daughter previously pressured him to remarry and forced him to imdiately have a child for the Minamoto Clan’s successor. Erina made it clear that she wouldn’t marry nor produce any offspring. However, Erina and Elysia were already that close and perhaps had crossed the line. They wanted to tell him sothing, but as a father, he was unprepared.
Erina took a deep breath and gathered her courage to say it. "Father..."
"Wait! Please let prepare my poor heart first." Kenji took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly several tis.
