"Ely, why are you selling that for free? Uhm, that's a bag of pretty valuable things in this world, right? And that was a small box of ordinary recovery powder, right?" Sylvia asked as they were heading sowhere in Eun-Hee's car.
"We got quite a price for all of that, Sylvi. That elder made paynts via digital money, and I've already received it in my account. We now have enough money to live in this world without worrying about tomorrow." Elysia put her hands together with a smile.
"Ooh~" Sylvia nodded as if she understood. However, she realized sothing odd. "Eh, wait a mont. If you do that, your identity will be exposed by the Esper Association. I rember you auctioned off so items for money under a fake identity. Are you changing your plans now, Ely?"
Vanessa looked up to see her master's face. She also wanted to know what her master was thinking.
"Well, I've been thinking about what you suggest, Sylvi. After gaining enlightennt from my master and the Goddess of Nature, I intend to make our na quite well known among the Esper Association. That way, things will beco easier. are respected and valued because they need us. Trouble will co no matter the reason, and we just need to be strong enough to get over it, right?" Elysia looked ahead with a confident expression.
Sylvia was a bit taken aback for a mont, but she smiled happily at that statent. She hugged Elysia's arm. "Yes, this is the Ely I know. Full of confidence, a role model Ely is back. The strong will be respected no matter where it is. Hm, that's an extraordinary decision. I will protect you no matter the reason."
"Thank you." Elysia gave Sylvia a head pat.
"Ehehe, so where are we going now?" Sylvia chuckled. She didn't want to move from that position now.
"We are going to Seoul now to build good relations and buy so high quality resources at the auction tonight. After that, we are going to Japan because tomorrow we are going to the Pacific Ocean." Elysia stroked Vanessa again. Her contracted beast had been quite lazy and spoiled lately.
"..." Eun-Hee looked in the rearview mirror with a slightly envious feeling. Having a bestie was a fantastic thing. But, the right people were just very hard to find in today's era. She just heaved a subtle sigh and drove her car to the airport.
Elysia had already bought VIP tickets for three, and she just needed to get her boarding passes. She took the nearest departure ti, and it just so happened that the plane would take off in a few minutes.
"Phew, we were almost late and missed our flight. Why did you buy the ticket with a ten o'clock departure?" Eun-Hee wiped her sweat after running to their plane.
"So we can get to Seoul sooner? Here's a drink for you. It's just a little run and you're already panting and complaining. I doubt your credibility as inspector now." Elysia gave a bottle of mineral water with a playful smile.
"What, that's not- who's complaining? I don't do anything like that. I'm a pro." Eun-Hee feels offended. She just accepted the drink and took a sip. "Thank you."
"You're welco. Now, please put on your seat belts. The plane is about to take off." Elysia gave a reminder and helped Sylvia with the seat belts.
"Eh, wait a minute. We got on the plane with a pet, didn't we? The guards and flight attendants didn't stop us at all or give us any warning before boarding?" Eun-Hee just realized sothing odd. She then looked at the white cat on Elysia's lap.
"These are VIP tickets and we're special. They might turn a blind eye and pretend they don't see it? This room is ours on this trip. Who knows? Vann won't bother the other passengers either." Elysia wiggled her finger, and Vanessa caught it and bit it gently.
"Oh, is it like that?" Eun-Hee scratched her head in confusion, but she just put the matter aside.
The air journey from Busan To Seoul took about an hour before they landed at the international airport. They still had eight hours until the auction event was held. They used their ti to tour the South Korean capital city to take advantage of that ti.
It was an exciting tour, especially for Sylvia and Vanessa. Elysia was also quite having fun. After two hours of walking around and sightseeing in the downtown area, it was ti for lunch.
Eun-Hee drove their rental car to a recomnded restaurant with the best rating.
"..." Elysia looked left and right. This restaurant had no private space, and so people were seen stealing a few glances at them. "We're attracting attention."
"Uuh, did you just realize that? We've already attracted quite a lot of attention just because of you and your friend, miss... You can just ignore them because they won't do anything but appreciate your beauty." Eun-Hee sighed. For so reason, she had been sighing a lot on this day.
"Hello, good afternoon ladies. Hi, Miss Eun-Hee, long ti no see. Can I sit here?" A dashing man ca to greet the girls with a prince-charming smile.
"Is it like that?" Elysia shook her head with a faint smile.
"That's how it should be." Eun-Hee felt offended once again. She just said that those virgins wouldn't co to bother them, but the troublemaker ca right after that!?
"You, who? Have I t you before?" Eun-Hee felt a little annoyed that this young man had co at the wrong ti.
"Ah, it hurts to realize that you forgot the best student after you, and that's right after a few months of graduation. Am I that easy to forget?" The young man laughed while scratching the back of his head awkwardly. He ca just to say hello to an old friend, and he got the cold shoulder instead.
"Uhm, ah, are you Hu Song-Hun? I'm sorry for failing to recognize you. Please have a seat. How are you? Are you an inspector in Seoul now?" Eun-Hee waved her hand in front of her face with an awkward laugh.
She allowed her old friend to sit next to her. It was a table for four people, after all.
"..." Sylvia gave a questioning gesture to Elysia. Their translator was engrossed in that young man and decided things without asking Elysia's permission.
"He is probably Miss Eun-Hee's friend who happened to be around. Ah, our lunch has co." Elysia spread her arms with her palms up. The waiter then ca with their lunch.
"Never mind, let's just ignore them and enjoy our lunch, Ely." Sylvia shrugged her shoulders and ate her food.
"Ah, where is my decency. So, they are your friends, Inspector Eun-Hee? They look like artists or supermodels from foreign countries. Can you introduce to them?" Song-Hun ended the conversation as the two beauties across the table just ignored him.
"Uhm, they are my clients. But, I can't introduce them to you without their permission because I'm being hired by them on their case." Eun-Hee shook her head.
She felt a little embarrassed when she realized that her clients pretended they couldn't see her and Song-Hun's existence. The indication was clear, her client didn't like to be disturbed, especially while eating.
"You're working on a case? Well, this may sound a bit wrong, but I'm Interpol. You can tell anyti if you need my help." Song-Hun gave his na card to his friend with a smile.
He then glanced at the two beautiful foreign girls. It was easy to understand that he would only irritate them if he bothered them now. To be safe, he better go. Therefore, he said goodbye to Eun-Hee.
"Please eat your lunch, Miss Eun-Hee. We're done with ours, but you just finished talking to your boyfriend." Elysia wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"My apologies, but he is a friend of mine at university. He only offers help if we need it. He is an Interpol." Eun-Hee felt a bit embarrassed and gave the na card to Elysia.
Luckily, she didn't have to say anything about the case she was handling, or she didn't know what to say to her friend. Although the file was titled gathering information and evidence, she literally just beca a translator and tour guide to the tourists!
"Hmm?" Elysia looked at the card questioningly and ended up giving a slight nod.
After finishing lunch, they continued their journey again to explore the city of Seoul. Sylvia asked to buy so exciting things at the shopping center, and it was readily granted.
They then went to an amusent park, cinema, flower garden, and many other things until sunset ca to an end their tour.
Their next destination was a five-story ancient herbalist building. The Esper Association headquarter in Seoul would hold a secret auction for a handful of ability users and espers.
"Wow, this auction will be attended by many people, Miss Eun-Hee? South Korea has many crouching tigers and hidden dragons." Elysia was dumbfounded when she saw the superpowers enter the ancient building one after another.
"Hehe, of course. South Korea has many experts, and is in the top five of the world esper rankings. We are a rank above Japan as a matter of fact." Eun-Hee puffed out her chest proudly. Although, she felt a little nervous because this was the first opportunity to co to the particular auction event for espers.
If it wasn't because of Elysia, who knew when she could attend an event like this.
