“Nee, Ellie. Are wealth, power and won what all n seek in life? What do you think?” Erina suddenly asked as they were walking towards the living room.
“Hmm, most probably yes. If you ask , it’s a bit different. What I’m looking for are companions and happiness.” Elysia answered with an innocent expression.
“Hehe, your wish is so simple. Do you like cars, Ellie?” Erina chuckled lightly.
“This is so sudden. Does this question have an implied aning?” Elysia didn’t really understand why Erina asked such a thing.
“You looked sad when my grandfather asked for your rental car keys yesterday. On your next visit, I’ll take you to my garage. You can have whatever you like.” Erina smiled innocently at her offer.
“I feel awkward, Erina. Luxury car maintenance is expensive. I’d rather travel the convenient way. Such transportation is just a formality for .” Elysia didn’t expect Erina to pay attention to such detail, but she could only refuse the offer.
“Fufu, please don’t be shy. I don’t know what to do with all those cars. I’m only one, but they occasionally give away a few units.” Erina shrugged her shoulders as if it was a trifle for her.
“…” Elysia just replied with a smile.
“Hmm?” Mio noticed the two white-dressed girls who were approaching while holding hands. She ca closer with a worried expression. “Erina-sama, thank goodness.”
“It’s all thanks to Ellie. She always cos to my rescue on ti. I don’t know what would have happened without her.” Erina smiled in reassurance.
Mio was about to say sothing, but Elysia raised her hand before that happened. “Please save that for later. So matter needs to be done first. The exorcists are here too.”
“Ah, okay…” Mio nodded in understanding and then went to Erina’s side. She offered to help, but Erina wouldn’t let go of Elysia’s hand.
“I’m fine, Mio.” Erina raised her palm. She was recovered and could walk unaided now.
“Oh, you’re here, Erina, Elysia. Co and join us.” Mitsuzuka motioned for Erina and Elysia to sit beside him.
“…” Elysia just nodded and invited Erina to sit down. She looked at the two people sitting across the table and a group in white and gold robes standing behind the two people in question.
They wore the exorcist robe with the Taira Clan symbol. They looked pretty powerful, especially the two people before her.
“As you suggested, we invited exorcists from the famous Taira Clan here to help us. However, the patriarch and his son imdiately ca here to respond to our request.” Mitsuzuka opened the conversation for the two girls who had just arrived.
“Oh, so this lovely girl is Elysia-chan. I’ve heard a lot about you from Mitsuzuka. We’ll definitely co right away when an old friend needs help. Introducing, I am Taira Eizo, the patriarch of the Taira Clan. And this is my son, Junzo.” Eizo gave an introduction casually.
“Mm, it’s an honor for to et you, Taira Eizo-sama, Taira Junzo-sama. I am Elysia.” Elysia responded with a simple formal greeting.
“You don’t need to be so formal, Elysia-chan. Hum, it’s been so long since we t, Erina-chan. Maybe, it was about six years ago? You just entered high school at the ti.” Eizo waved his hand in front of his face. He then looked at Erina, to be more precise, at Erina’s hand. Could this girl freely touch other people without risk anymore?
“En, six years have passed. That was the last ti I saw you in Kyoto, Eizo-sama.” Erina nodded slightly.
“Hahaha, Tokyo needs , and this is where I’ve been all along. Since you beca a famous diva, you’ve constantly been changing places because many people have been waiting for your performances. It’s amazing for a young girl to accomplish.” Eizo laughed like a friendly grandpa.
“However, I need to spend more ti with my family. My grandfather and father are not too busy with their business anymore. We can spend ti together!” Erina raised her fist excitedly.
“Haha, that’s the spirit of a young man. Did you hear that, Mitsuzuka, Kenji? Your precious princess has been keeping herself busy because you didn’t pay much attention to her. However, isn’t this what we usually call the blessing in disguise?” Eizo gave a thumbs up.
“Well, I’m grateful we survived the tragedy.” Kenji shrugged his shoulders. He glanced at his daughter with relief. Erina had fully recovered, and he just needed to wait so more ti.
“Anyway, let’s get back to our main topic. Since Elysia is here, things will beco more efficient.” Mitsuzuka opened his arms and brought the conversation to the thing they had left earlier.
Eizo and Junzo exchanged glances.
After that, Eizo looked at Elysia and made a steeple of his fingers. “Yeah, it’s about spiritual protection. Our opponent is a powerful evil organization. How powerful do you think they are and what level of protection is required?”
“I have the data for that. Before we talk about it, how much do you know about , Taira Eizo-sama?” Elysia wanted to play this discussion carefully without any mistakes.
“Information about you has beco an open secret to the powerhouses of various countries, you know, Elysia-chan? Apart from the world’s top-level military secrets, you and Sylvia-chan are already considered saviors in that day’s odd incident. Aaah, who would have thought our mothership, the world’s most powerful fleet, once visited the underworld and fought demons! I envy. I should have joined the operation and acted in that mythical realm!” Eizo held his head as if he was regretting sothing.
“Apart from that, the information about you is empty even though everyone has dug deep to find out more about you. It’s as if you never existed in this world. May I know your surna, Elysia? Are you from the underworld?” Junzo clasped his hands. He asked his question with solemn intonation.
“I see…” Elysia didn’t feel anything was wrong. It was natural for higher-ups to try to find out about her, but unfortunately, there wasn’t any data on her on Earth. “My na is Elysia, just Elysia. I co from this world, just like you. However, this world already considered dead a few years ago. I believe you are aware of this. Humans haven’t explored every place in this world. Not even ten percent. There are too many unknowns.”
“!!!” Elysia’s answer took Erina and everyone else in shock.
However, so of them could interpret the implied information from there, causing particular intentions that erge toward Elysia.
“Ahem, well… You’re right.” Eizo cleared his throat.
They then briefly discussed spiritual protection for the Minamoto Clan’s mansion. Taira Clan’s exorcists underwent several feasibility tests by Elysia before a set of formations and talismans passed the selection.
“To add, I give you these. One each. This will protect you from the disturbances of invisible astral beings trying to influence you, especially your mind. The world is currently in chaos, so please be careful.” Elysia distributed a bluish-white protective talisman to everyone.
“You are also a runemaster? This talisman was created by a thod unknown to .” Eizo frowned as if he was deep in thought while observing the talisman. He glanced at his son and his team, but they were also clueless about it.
He then cleared his throat and shalessly asked for more. “Ahem, I an, can I get three more of this? Looks like I need to give a little gift to my daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.”
“Hmm-mm~” Elysia just smiled in reply. She gave another three more talismans without a second thought.
A few monts later, Eizo and his exorcist team went to scatter to various corners of the mansion. They needed to install their formations and protection talismans imdiately.
“Here, I’m just giving this to you. It’s an additional protective talisman that will save your life when you need it most. Please carry this with you at all tis. Hurry up and save it.” Elysia gave gold talismans to Erina’s family mbers, including Mio.
“Ah, um, thank you.” Erina imdiately slipped the protective talismans into her cleavage reflexively.
“All right, what do you think about the Taira Clan’s exorcists, Elysia?” Mitsuzuka put the talismans into his hidden pocket before leaning back on the sofa.
“They are good and trustworthy for now.” Elysia nodded in confirmation.
“For now, huh…” Mitsuzuka muttered softly as he looked up.
“I can’t predict the future. Please don’t take it too seriously, sir.” Elysia shook her head.
Mitsuzuka, Kenji, Erina, and Mio didn’t respond, but they still took Elysia’s words just now as sothing to consider.
“Anyway, Ellie… What are you going to do next? Your friends are waiting for you, right?” Erina reminded Elysia in case her friend forgot.
“Mm, I have to go now. See you later, Erina, everyone.” Elysia waved her hand to everyone and walked away.
“Please be careful, Ellie. I’ll be waiting for your next visit!” Erina waved her hand.
Elysia then made a small smoke bomb and used teleportation to disappear from everyone’s sight.
“…” Mitsuzuka and the others were at a loss for words to explain the phenonon. Elysia completely disappeared in the smoke bomb disguise like ninjas.
The difference was they couldn’t even explain how Elysia could do it. Elysia just disappeared; it was not a magic trick or deception technique.
“That’s what they call to break the limit. Ellie and her organization’s capabilities are way beyond our imagination.” Erina clasped her hands in amazent. Her eyes even sparkled at that.
“Erina, have you t Elysia’s friends besides Sylvia and Evelyn?” Kenji was curious.
“Hmm, we also want to hear about the inexplicable kidnapping event.” Mitsuzuka took a deep breath and folded his arms.
“We shouldn’t talk about that here. Let’s go to a private room.” Erina put her finger to her lips. She didn’t want to talk about sensitive matters here.
With that being said, they went to a particular anti-spy room. Erina shared a story about the recent events. She started the inexplicable kidnapping event with fun monts at the amusent park.
“You had so much fun spending ti with Elysia. However, Erina… What do you think about Elysia’s real power and her background? How powerful do you think the Guardian of Dream is?” Mitsuzuka stroked his beard after Erina finished with the story.
“Hm, I can’t estimate it accurately. The current shocking things happening worldwide are because of the Guardians of Dream involvent. Ellie told a while ago… The chaos in the past month was caused by those evil participants. Actually, if they had been under control, there wouldn’t have been wars or significant chaos like now.” Erina pondered for a mont.
“The mbers of that gigantic international evil organization were called participants by Elysia. Guardian of Dream is more dangerous than we thought. You should be more careful around Elysia, Erina. Elysia may be friendly to you for so reason, but we don’t know about the other mbers.” Mitsuzuka only reminded Erina of sothing so vital.
“Mm, I will be careful.” Erina nodded in understanding. She didn’t tell everything she knew to her family because she had promised Elysia.
