Chapter 520 - Trouble For Troublemaker (3)
"..." Elysia just turned around and stared at the Devil Emperor just flying away toward the Devil Continent.
"Ely..." Ella called out. She and Evelyn went closer then glanced at the small red cot in the sky.
"Is this about Sylvia?" Elysia put Gio back on the ground and patted his head. The little tortoise then just went toward the white cat.
"Ehm, if I may ask, what are your views on devils? Why do you act so casual even though you are around devils? Ehm... Did you already know about Sylvia's true identity from the start?" Ella held her hand with so awkwardness and complexity. Even so, she convinced herself to ask for clarification.
Elysia did not imdiately answer. She just gave a gentle smile to her two friends. After a few seconds had passed, she opened her mouth. "Tell before I answer you with anything. What kind of hatred do you have for other races, including devils? Is it so great and deep that you judge them equally with the most terrible presumption?"
"That's, I-" Ella didn't know what to say. She was still confused and doubtful even though her mind reminded her that all devils were eternal enemies of humans.
"I, I don't know." Evelyn responded doubtfully. She was afraid that if she said sothing wrong, sothing would be irreversible.
"Aah, the lost sheep. Although racial inconsistency is still there, you need to judge them with your own eyes. Whether they are good or bad. A beautiful truth will co to you who have absolute judgnt, not one who is easily influenced by what other people might say." Elysia was behaving like a sage and started to give her friends a little insight.
Yuuki approached with interest, and Sylvia squird closer in curiosity.
"You know, we can get lost at any ti in the illusion of ignorance and confusion. You must know what your heart believes. Now look at Sylvia. No mortal is free from sin and guilt. But, is she an evil devil?" Elysia pointed her palm at the devil girl, who was approaching like a caterpillar.
Ella and Evelyn glanced at the devil girl, then looked at each other. They then shook their heads at Elysia.
anwhile, Yuuki just decided to remain silent because she knew that question was not aid at her.
"Alright then. As for your previous question... Yes, I've known that Sylvia is a devil since my eting with her. She is the sa Devil Princess, the only daughter of Devil Emperor Dylan, the sole ruler of the Devil Continent." Elysia smiled once again and looked at everyone's expressions.
"D-devil Princess!?You, you knew that from the start, Ely? But why are you acting like you don't really care? Are, are you hiding that fact and protecting her?" Evelyn was surprised even though she could already guess half of the information.
"Why do you ask that, Eve? I'm there to see and make sure that Sylvia isn't causing trouble or getting into trouble. The dispute between the Devil Race and the Human Race is so thick, do you intend to make things worse? While we intend to bridge a peace?" Elysia tilted her head slightly.
"N-no, that's not what I ant..." Evelyn covered her mouth reflexively.
"Hm, I won't say much to change things. However, you can see Sylvia as a devil for yourself. Are you going to hate her like the evil devils? Just like humans, there is good and evil." Elysia smiled and held her hand in a polite posture.
"We understand." Ella nodded in understanding. After hearing so clarifications from Elysia, she felt sowhat relieved. Even so, she still felt pretty uncomfortable being around Sylvia.
Evelyn also nodded in understanding. She then glanced at the devil tied up in a futon roll. If she glances at this devil girl, it's still Sylvia with a few different forms.
"Isn't Sylvia like a half-dragon girl, rather than a terrible devil?" Elysia asked, and Sylvia repeatedly nodded at that.
"Uuh, after you say that, Ely... Well, yeah, she does look more like a beaskin than a devil. Isn't Gio also a dragon? So, this girl is a devil x dragon?" Yuuki scratched her head and looked at the devil girl below.
"Hey, what kind of naming is that? I'm a half-dragon devil. My father said that my mother is a demonic dragon." Sylvia snorted discontentedly.
"Hoho~ Then, you have high endurance since you've unleashed your limiter, right?" Yuuki smiled kindly. She then faced everyone with a slight polite bow. "Then please allow to excuse myself. I'd like to play a little with Sylvia."
"Mm, fine." Elysia gave her consent.
After that, Yuuki just dragged the futon roll away.
"Hey, what do you want to do? I warn you, I will take revenge on you if what you are about to do is terrible." Sylvia frowned.
"Hehe, it's nothing. I won't do sothing like what the savages do. An elegant punishnt awaits you." Yuuki just smiled mysteriously.
Ella and Evelyn then drastically change the topic. They wanted to know what had just happened on that mysterious island. It was Elysia who shared the story, and they listened with enthusiasm. The two girls no longer cared too much about whether Sylvia was a devil or not.
Seeing that, Nell gave a satisfied nod. She had the responsibility to raise Ella as her angel. Still, it would be difficult if this girl didn't et specific criteria. Strong determination, unwavering spirit, and excellent judgnt were a few of the essential factors for it.
"Everyone! Have you all had lunch? If not, can we have lunch together? I need so help on that too." Yuuki suddenly called out while waving her hand high. She had just prepared a small outdoor party that looked attractive and comfortable.
"Ah, it's past lunch ti now. We still have to find over a thousand Sea God's avatars, right? We'd better have lunch before continuing our mission for today." Elysia looked up at the sky to estimate the current ti then invited everyone.
"Hum, all right. But, I want you and your master not to push yourself to help my avatars. The health and well-being of both of you is priority, o my saviors." Oceanid had no objection to that.
Nell and Rhea just nodded slightly. anwhile, Elena just wanted to go with the flow.
Therefore, Elysia asked for confirmation from her friends. After everyone agreed, she waved her hand at Yuuki. "We co!"
By the ti they arrived on the other side of the wooden house, a place for a small lunch party was already neatly arranged, including a cooking set.
However, one thing that was a bit glaring, a futon roll with Sylvia in it, was just placed on the edge with a big sign "don't feed her".
"Hehe, welco. Let's have a satisfying lunch party. Hm, please ignore the futon roll over there and please don't feed her." Yuuki greeted everyone warmly.
"I can not eat or drink until tomorrow. I can get through this." Sylvia muttered under her breath.
Yuuki's fox ears twitched a little because she could hear that. Even so, she just smiled as if that wasn't all she wanted to do.
She then whispered to Elysia, Ella, and Evelyn to get her point across. After getting a nod of agreent, the three of them made so delicious dishes with a beautiful, appetizing aroma.
"Ah, is this a new recipe from you, Masterchef Elysia? Truly, it would be a paradise for anyone to have you as a life companion." Oceanid's avatar climbed onto the cooking table with sparkling eyes.
"Thank you for your complint. However, you can't taste it just yet. Please wait at the dining table over there. We're almost done." Elysia took one of the dishes before Oceanid's avatar took so.
"Uh, well... The sll so tempting to co here without realizing it. They obviously made of sparkling white fish, but why does it all look so much more enticing?" Oceanid's avatar just scratched his head awkwardly as his attempt was thwarted.
"Ah, this is delicious. Far from last night's grilled fish. Have you nad this dish, Ely?" Yuuki placed a pot of hot dishes on the table.
"It's curry." Elysia answered curtly.
"Hum, a short na for a dish that is full of spices and has a tantalizing aroma." Yuuki glanced at the devil girl and nodded in satisfaction.
A few ters away, Sylvia couldn't help but drool at all the mouthwatering dishes. Just by slling the aroma and seeing the sight of that delicious dish, it was already so torturous, especially her tummy.
*Growl*
Sylvia's tummy growled to voice a protest to demand a nutritional supply of food. There was an intention to just break free from the futon roll. However, what Yuuki had whispered earlier echoed in her mind.
"No, no. That fox girl said this is punishnt for . If I rebel, then Ely will punish instead. Ely already said that she will teach a lesson? I don't want she to punish ..." Sylvia whispered to herself with a pout.
"Ely, then what is this?" Yuuki asked so of the other dishes out of curiosity.
"That's--" Elysia just told each na of the dish.
"That fox girl must have done that on purpose. I wouldn't be surprised if she would do the sa when they eat after this. But, those dishes... I want to taste them too." Sylvia grumbled softly, like she was cursing soone.
Sure enough, when all those delicious and tempting dishes were transferred to the dining table, Yuuki once again deliberately teased Sylvia in many ways.. Therefore, the latter could do nothing but drool.
