"What are your plans for the future?" Ai suddenly asked, pretty concerned about Rosie's current dream.
"I will beco a great sword mage in the future. However, I need to finish my school years at the academy. After this chaos is over, everything will be back to how it was before, right? No, I think it will be a better world." Rosie recalled her academy events.
Young was good, and school ti was a youth experience that one could only rember once in old age.
"I think so. I hope you can achieve your dreams. Take this as a gift from and Ely. Use this sword of light to eradicate the evil. Only heroes with brave and pure heart can wield it. So, make sure to leave a good impression on the sword's spirit." Ai handed a sword to Rosie's hand. She didn't take rejection as an answer.
"This is a divine sword?" Rosie gasped in surprise. Even though it was still inside the sheath, she could feel it through her hand.
"Th, I can't accept such a precious gift. I don't feel worthy to wield a divine sword." Rosie paled slightly.
"You can, and you are doing well. The Reinhard Family is one of the most renowned knight clans in the south. You are a precious friend to Ely, so please use that sword to achieve your dreams. I want you to beco a great sword mage the next ti we et." Ai smiled faintly, then walked away as she raised her hand in farewell.
"..." Rosie gripped the holy sword with so complicated feelings. On the one hand, she didn't want to disappoint the trust placed on her; on the other hand, she felt that Elysia and Ai had a plan for her.
However, what Ai said before walking away reminded her of how her late little sister comforted her when she failed her swordsmanship training for the first ti.
'You can, and you are doing well, huh... If you are the incarnation of Alisha, then I can't let you down, Elysia, Ai. This big sister will beco a powerful knight mage in the future. No evil dares to stand before . At that ti, I could proudly say that I was your friend.' Rosie stroked the holy sword in her hand.
'Girl, is that your wish? Only with countless hard work and struggles, the blood of a hero will rise. State your na. Show your determination and will!' The sword spirit sent telepathy into Rosie's mind.
'I--' Rosie smiled faintly. She knew what she needed to say to gain the sword spirit's acknowledgent.
'How was it?' Elysia greets Ai when she cos back.
'Everything is good. We can go now.' Ai replied with a subtle nod.
"Well then, we need to go on so business. Please enjoy your banquet and complete our requests as soon as possible. We left a gift for your people in each package. We look forward to hearing good news from you." Nell announced to everyone.
"In that case, we will not hold you any longer. Thank you for everything. We will not let you down." Alexander was the first to respond, and he represented everyone.
Nell and her divine group then left with a poof. Oceanid followed the teleporter, but Regulus took the opportunity to sneak away.
"Where are you going? You will also co with us to prepare for the star war." Xero grabbed Regulus by the shoulder and dragged the Beast God away.
"Wait, I need to bring my wife too!" Regulus stretched out his hands. He ca here with his two strongest wives, and they had to go with him because he couldn't run away.
As Regulus's wives grabbed their husband's hands, Xero took them all at once to the rendezvous place.
"We will rest and make preparations in four days. You brought those things, right?" Lifa asked Xero, Oceanid, and Regulus.
"Yeah, our belongings are always with us. Where are we going?" Oceanid folded his arms.
"My Firmant Realm. We have many things to do before dinner and rest. Let's go now." Nell opened a portal to her realm and then asked everyone to enter.
Lifa, Rhea, and Nell asked the help of the other three Gods to repair and revive the ancient weapons, artifacts, and chanisms stored in the Firmant Realm. They flew away, leaving Elysia, Elena, and the others at Nell's Heavenly Palace.
"This is the heaven?" Morfina stared into the distance. They were currently in a land above the clouds.
"This is the Goddess of Blessings' private realm. Co with ." Elena walked into the palace with Elysia, and everyone rushed behind her.
"What will we do?" Yaereene spoke in a whisper-like voice to Vanessa.
"The baptism and your oath ceremony. We have five new recruits who will fight alongside us." Vanessa stated the obvious.
"Five, am I included? But I-" Yusagi pointed at her face.
"Yes, you are also included. You haven't gone through the proper oath ceremony yet. You do serve , but we worship the divine." Luna put her hand on her servant's head.
"Um, okay." Yusagi nodded in understanding.
Monts later, they ca to a hall. Elena sealed the place with a barrier because they didn't want the Gods to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Yusagi, Ariel Evadne, Lyla, Morfina Almithara, and Yaereene Raloquinal. Please co forward." Elena wrote the nas of the new recruits on her mber list but in a separate section at the bottom.
The ntioned girls ca forward, facing the Goddess of Light nervously. Elysia and Ai stood behind the Goddess, but that didn't lessen their nervousness because they knew the most potent God was the Goddess of Light.
"Hmm." Gio folded his arms. He felt the new recruits who would join them needed more things, but the Goddesses' plans were beyond his comprehension.
"Rawr." Cherub agreed with that, but he had no complaints. The divine could turn the trash into treasure, after all. The two weakest mbers in their group had even breakthrough straight to Spirit level in three days.
"Ariel, tell , what made you willing to risk your life for our noble clauses? The inevitable battle will be dire, and our journey will not stop after defeating the last two Ruvoid Gods. Do you know about that?" Elena glanced at Ariel.
"I am fully aware of that. My soul was saved by you. I dedicate my all as your servant. If I can do sothing to help your noble clauses, then allow to give and risk everything, even until the end of ti." Ariel knelt down in her sincere, frank statent.
"Lyla, what is your motivation in becoming a holy maiden and saving the world?" Elena nodded slightly, then looked at the next girl.
"I am a girl from a remote village and live a solitary life as a wandering craftmaster. I was appointed as the chosen one to save the world. The dwarves only follow the strong, but we will only worship one after we acknowledge one. You are the Dwarven Patron Goddess. Allow to fight by your side and do whatever I can for your noble clauses. I, Lyla, at your service." Lyla knelt, acknowledging her aspirations as the holy maiden and the world's hero.
Elena then asked Morfina and Yaereene the sa thing. The bashful elf was frank enough to admit that she longed for a world of peace. She was willing to do anything for it. She was appointed as a holy maiden, which was an incomparable honor.
anwhile, the timid fairy only yearned for a place to take shelter. This a straightforward motivation for a lone fairy, but that was enough to emphasize because this pink fairy's determination for a peaceful life was no joke.
"Very well, then state your oath." Elena grasped everyone's intentions and motivations. Nell, Lifa, and Fortuna wanted these girls as their new recruits for the common good and participation of all races. Thus, she and Elysia had no objections.
"Be without fear in the face of our enemies. Be brave and upright that Gods may love. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to our death. We are the divine's servants who serve under the orders of the Goddess of Light. Live and die we are in the will of the Goddess we worship." Ariel, Lyla, Yusagi, Morfina, and Yaereene declare their vows to the Goddess of Light.
'Have they rehearsed it beforehand?' Elena felt sowhat shocked.
'Yes, Vanessa is their senior. As for Yusagi, she was just notified a few seconds ago.' Elysia glanced at her white cat. Vanessa handled these new recruits well.
"From now on, you will move with us under the direct orders of the divine. However, as you should know, your oath was not directed at . I am the Guardian Goddess of the real Goddess of Light, Elysia." Elena announced the secret to the new recruits.
"!?" All the new recruits, except for Yusagi, gasped in surprise at that shocking statent.
"I will leave my divine mark on your spirit. Please bear with it since it will hurt a bit." Elysia raised her finger, then pointed it at Ariel. She put her divine mark on Ariel's spirit and then did the sa to the other girls.
It would be helpful for communication, warding off soul attacks, and preventing treason since everything would be monitored. Even though it wasn't as powerful as a spirit bond, it was still a powerful divine mark.
'Please take care of each other from now on~ Our group is growing again! Also, my real identity is a secret, mkay?' Elysia sent telepathy directly to the new recruits' spirits.
Ariel, Lyla, Morfina, and Yaereene just nodded in a daze. They had not recovered from the shock. The Supre Goddess Vanessa was talking about turned out to be Elysia, the one with a contract with the Goddesses.
After that, the new recruits received a revelation regarding the truth of the world and universe from Elysia.
