“Ely, are you a Goddess in disguise?” Evelyn suddenly asked while looking into her best friend’s eyes.
“Why are you suddenly asking that, Eve? Ah, I went up to Beginner Mage so tis ago.” Elysia felt a little confused and looked back at Evelyn.
“I feel you are sotis so out of reach, Ely. All of your achievents are beyond what a human can achieve. You may be a Goddess, but you disguised yourself as an ordinary girl for a purpose. Am I too curious?” Evelyn couldn’t look Elysia in the eye for too long. She felt too embarrassed about that.
Yuuki and Lynn paused their work to listen to the conversation.
“You may know if you want to. You see, Eve. You were the first one who made a friend, a true friend. You are sincere, kind, and innocent, but sotis air-headed and silly. You can see as a Goddess in training, but I don’t know when I will reach that level.
Sotis, I think our power is just a gift from the universe, and the universe can take it away soday. Therefore, I just do everything to the best of my ability for good. That’s how I thank the universe for everything.” Elysia smiled gently at the end of her words.
She had seen several entities gain instant power and lose it so quickly. It was so imprinted in her view of power gain.
“At that ti, no… When the ti cos, will you allow to be your loyal follower, Ely? I sotis feel you will go far, very far. I just want to reach out to you. Please don’t leave …” Evelyn clasped her hands.
“I see. When the ti cos, you will make difficult decisions. Will you accompany our long journey to the end? Are you willing to leave everything behind just to be with us?” Elysia asked that question in a sowhat emotional tone.
Surprisingly, everyone in the living room fell silent because of that. So of them pondered Elysia’s question in their minds as well.
“Maa, let’s skip this conversation. Now is the ti for us to prepare dinner. Here, help stir this.” Elysia changed the topic of the conversation with a cheerful smile.
“Oh, okay.” Evelyn imdiately moved to help.
A few monts later, dinner was served at the dining table. Xero joined in the dinner event.
However, Xentia surprisingly joined the glutton group and devoured a lot of food. It was the first ti she experienced the pleasures of this extraordinary culinary paradise and the first food she enjoyed with her taste buds.
“Everything is so delicious, but Xentia can’t go on anymore. More than this and that would be not good for the tummy.” Xentia put down her cutlery and then rubbed her tummy. She stopped eating because she felt her stomach was at the tipping point just before the satiation level.
“It’s okay. Nom, nom…” Nell raised her hand with an ok hand gesture and returned to eating her food. The others may see it’s just a big bowl of delicious soup, but it was a pool of delicacy for her.
“Thank you for the food.” Xero finished with his dinner and imdiately went to the second floor.
“Do you need help in your recovery process? Please say anything if you need anything.” Elysia asked before Xero left.
“Not for now.” Xero glanced back for a mont, then went upstairs.
“…” Elysia just nodded and looked at everyone around the dining table. They enjoy their al with blissful faces.
After Elysia finished her food, she went to get her smartphone. She has so unread ssages, after all.
“Hmm?” Elysia felt a little surprised when she saw the incoming ssages co a few minutes after she returned to this house. It was as if Erina knew when she had co back here, but she had no idea how Erina would know about it.
She questioned whether this house had been bugged or her smartphone had been tracked. The technology could be so scary, after all. However, she felt it was only because of the marker connection. This house was not far from Erina’s mansion, and Erina could clearly sense if she was near or not.
‘Soone texted you, Ely? You only have the Erina family numbers, but why do you look so troubled?’ Elena felt a little surprised when Elysia returned while staring at the smartphone with a complicated look.
‘Everything is fine. Erina only sent a few ssages. She asked how I was in the first ssage, and in the second ssage, she inford that soone from across the country had co to her family’s mansion this afternoon. He made a request to et .
In the third ssage, she sent information about that person and asked if I would fulfil that person’s request or not. However, that person hadn’t even said the reason for his urgent request before eting .’ Elysia read all the ssages and outlined the details.
‘It was a request to see you as a doctor, right? Those oldies from the Alchemy Association are really annoying. That old hag must have revealed the secret behind Erina and Kenji’s recovery.’ Elena still rembered that arrogant Grand Master alchemist.
‘Maa, we’re not trying to keep our achievents a secret either. There were many eyewitnesses who would obviously question how Erina and her father could recover so quickly. However… Soone who wants to et seems familiar. We’ve t this guy before, haven’t we?’ Elysia showed the person’s information to Elena.
‘Hmm… Yes, we’ve t him. It was at an auction house in Seoul, South Korea. You ca as Lily. He and his friend ca to say hello when you just claid that white bracelet artifact. The item you used as one of the catalysts in the advanced artifact creation practice. You rember it, right?’ Elena could rember that last month’s event well.
‘Hmm, Hong Ju-Won from Hong Clan, huh… He was with his friend Sung Se-Yeon then, and his arrival this ti was definitely not alone. What do they want?’ Elysia didn’t understand why the other party had co here to et her. There were too many possibilities, and she couldn’t be sure.
‘What are you going to do, Ely? He might bother Erina until he can et you. Erina said it was sothing of an ergency on that guy’s side, right? He may be desperate. It’s fine if you want to et him and find out the truth for Erina’s sake. The night is still early, and the weather still looks friendly.’ Elena looked out the window. She felt it would be fine if Elysia went to Erina’s mansion now.
‘But, well…’ Elysia considered her decision for a mont. She might not have free ti to go to Erina’s mansion tomorrow because her group still has a plan. So, now was the right ti if she wanted to et that person.
‘If you decide to go… Nell, Lynn and Sylvi will co with you.’ Elena held Elysia’s hand.
‘You’re not coming with ?’ Elysia was a bit surprised.
‘I need to educate that baby girl with Rhea. I also need to check and confirm a few things about her. We’ll have an interesting hero of light tomorrow, hehe…’ Elena had a particular intention for Xentia, and it would have sothing to do with Rhea’s plan.
‘Oh, okay…’ Elysia just nodded in understanding.
After dinner, Elena told the concerned girls to accompany and protect Elysia.
“That’s fine. However, we should return before curfew arrives. You also need a good rest, right?” Nell had no objection, but that didn’t an she was in favor of letting the girls go out at night and skipping sleep.
“Mm, we’ll be back soon. We’re just going to see Erina and soone then head back.” Elysia nodded in confirmation.
“…” Lynn responded with a slight nod. She would protect and help Elysia with all her might.
“That’s perfect. So, shall we go now?” Sylvia hugged Elysia’s arm.
“Hm? Where are you going? Xentia can follow?” Xentia ca closer.
“We’re going to see soone who desperately needs our help. I may be needed as a doctor.” Elysia gave Xentia a head pat.
“Doctor? What is a doctor?” Xentia tilted her head slightly.
“The doctor is a noble person with the ability to heal those who are sick or injured. Ely can be called a Saint in the dical world.” Rhea helped to explain.
“Ooh~ That sounds great! Can Xentia beco a doctor?” Xentia was enlightened with sparkling eyes.
“That’s possible if you have the passion. However, I think there are other classes more suitable for you. Would Xentia want to listen to it?” Elena started a conversation.
“Xentia wants!” Xentia ca close to the Golden Goddess with great interest. Yet, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and waved her hand at Elysia. “Please be careful and co back soon!”
“Mm. We’ll be back soon.” Elysia waved her hand before leaving with Lynn and Sylvia by her side while Nell sat invisibly on her shoulder.
“Mhmm…” Vanessa and Yuuki pouted while staring at Elysia’s departure. They wanted to co along, but Elysia’s master had already decided who would go with Elysia.
*Poof*
Elysia brought her small team to teleport to Erina’s location.
“Hmm-mm~” Erina humd sweetly in her room while applying night cream to her body.
*Bzzt*
An incoming ssage ca, and Erina checked her smartphone. “Ellie will be coming here soon with her friends. Are they Sylvia-san and Evelyn-san?”
Erina wondered, but she couldn’t hide her smile because she would et Elysia soon. She replied to the ssage but heard a strange sound from behind.
*Bzzt*
“Gulp…” Erina gulped her saliva nervously.
She was alone in her room. Mio hadn’t co back either. It was dark outside too, and the thought of ghosts crossed her mind.
“…” Erina wanted to look back, but she was afraid it was a jumpscare like that blue demon incident.
Erina looked at her smartphone, and the ssage to Elysia was still displayed on the screen.
Thus, she imdiately wrote another ssage, asking for help. She felt so scared and nervous. Because of her trembling hand, her smartphone slipped from her hands and fell on the carpet.
“No way… Oh God and Goddess of Heaven, please help . Ellie…” Erina’s face went pale. She didn’t dare bend down to pick up her smartphone now.
“Erina, why do you look so scared? Co here and tell us. We might be able to help.” Elysia was confused by Erina’s strange behavior.
“Eh?” Erina blinked her eyes a few tis. That pleasant voice was so familiar and definitely not a ghost. She also felt that Elysia was already so close. So, it was definitely her friend. Elysia had arrived.
Sure enough, she turned around and found three girls sitting on the sofa.
“Ellie, you scared … I thought it was a ghost. You appeared so suddenly without any prior notice. My heart probably can’t take another jumpscare.” Erina’s legs lost strength, and she slumped to the floor. Even so, she breathed a sigh of relief.
