853 Patching Heaven's Sky
Elysia could no longer tell how much time had passed, but their experiment yielded a satisfactory result. Gaia still couldn’t believe they could replicate Heaven’s boundary material exactly the same as the real thing.
Unfortunately, Elysia fell asleep as soon as the experiment was over. Elena was the same way, accompanying Elysia in her sleep.
“…” Gaia didn’t know what to say. She just stared at the two girls lying on the bed holding hands. “That’s really amazing.”
“Yes, they are the miracles the universe has brought us.” Rhea nodded in agreement. She then sat beside the bed, looking after Elysia and Elena.
Elysia and Elena fell asleep, facing each other and holding hands. She wanted to join and sleep next to them, but she had a duty to look after them.
“It’s not a coincidence to have two properties from two different worlds but pointing in the same direction. Everything is destined by the will of the universe. We may have some new group members from Earth soon, fufu.” Lifa covered her mouth elegantly.
“You’re still eager to recruit me, huh… However, please forgive me that I can’t give you the answer you expect.” Gaia shook her head helplessly.
“I’ll just try again later~” Lifa closed her eyes.
“You must have a plan in mind by now. Listen to me. No matter the reason, I can’t go with you guys anytime soon.” Gaia tried to guess Lifa’s plans, making her uneasy.
“Is it like that? You can’t read my mind, much less predict the future that concerns us. How do you come to that conclusion?” Lifa smirked mysteriously.
“Don’t do anything stupid just because you want me to join your group. Besides, you haven’t asked Elysia and her master’s opinion either.” Gaia sighed.
“They would wholeheartedly agree that we’d get a nice ancient senior in the group. We’ll be exploring the infinite possibilities in the future, and I’m sure you won’t miss it. Another matter, let’s let time tell.” Lifa shrugged her shoulders.
“What are you talking about? I know Gaia wants to come along, but not now. So please don’t force your will on others. Would you like to make ‘them’ wrap you in a golden cocoon?” Nell raised her eyebrows. Lifa could become pushy sometimes.
“Hmm.” Gaia nodded in agreement.
“In that case, I will withdraw for now.” Lifa chuckled lightly.
“So, when are we going to repair the heavenly sky? More than a day has already passed.” Nell opened the window to see the situation outside. They forgot to count the time during the experiment.
“Hmm… One day has passed, and the hole in the sky seems to be the same as yesterday. However, the cracks have widened.” Lifa looked at the hole in the sky.
“Well then, we can fix Heaven’s sky now. My dear daughter, please take care of our princesses. And you, my friend, please revoke the barrier and tell the girls next door about this good news. They must be worried because they’ve been waiting long enough.” Lifa picked up the two barrels of realm boundary liquid and stood up.
“You’re going to do it? Please be careful patching the hole, or Ely will be mad at you.” Nell didn’t mind the arrangement.
“Of course, Gaia will go with me for this. We’ll be back in an hour.” Lifa invited Gaia to fly out through the open window.
“All right, it’s time to see the girls. They’ve been restless since this morning, and it’s lunchtime. Oh no, we missed dinner and breakfast?” Nell raised her palm to her big sister and then deactivated the soundproof barrier.
“I’m feeling lazy now but more worried than bored. Any news from next door?” Sylvia rested her head in her hands, bored of waiting without doing anything significant.
“Yeah, it’s going to be tiring since we’re playing Elysia’s games the entire day. How about lunch first?” Fortuna waved her hand for attention.
“Lunch? Do you mean the heavenly fruits and vegetables? They are delicious, but I’m getting bored. I want Master Elysia’s culinary delight!” Yuuki averted his gaze. She was bored only eating fruit.
“E-eh? Countless mortals dream of tasting the blessings of heavenly fruit, and you say that as if they are worthless? Can’t you appreciate the heavenly food?” Fortuna was surprised by that statement.
“Give it up, Fortuna. Their taste buds are not the same as yours, the vegetarian Goddess. Some are carnivores and can’t always eat fruit and vegetables like you. I’m tired of eating fruits and vegetables too. I want to taste the mentioned culinary delight as well!” Darkness lay on the sofa, feeling lazy to move.
“I haven’t received head pats since yesterday…” Vanessa rested her head on the table.
“Here, head pats for you.” Xentia stroked the cat girl’s head.
“Mm, thank you.” Vanessa appreciated that, but she craved her master’s touch.
*Bam*
The door suddenly opened. The one who entered was not a certain God or Goddess, nor was he a presumptuous servant, but the Fairy Goddess. Everyone looked forward to this event. They stared at the newcomer with bright expressions.
“What’s with your bright expressions? Anyway, we’ve finished our experiment.” Nell scratched her head as she didn’t understand what was up with everyone.
“May I know how it turned out?” Fortuna came forward. She was eager to know the result.
“It was a big success. Look at the hole in the sky, and you’ll see the evidence.” Nell pointed out the window.
“Wha-” Fortuna gasped because she was completely shocked. She immediately went to the balcony and looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, the Earth Mother and the Goddess of Life from another world were now repairing the heavenly sky.
“Wow. So it can be repaired like patching glass with new sealing fluid?” Sylvia also went to the balcony and looked up at the sky.
Unfortunately, not all girls were enthusiastic about the phenomenon. They were more interested in something else.
“What about Master Elysia?” Vanessa asked. Yuuki and Lynn were waiting for the answer because they also had to know.
“She is in the next room with her master. Do you want to go there now?” Nell seemed to know what Vanessa and the fox girls were thinking.
“Let’s go.” Vanessa nodded and immediately went to the next room with the others.
“This is truly a miracle! Heaven’s sky can be repaired, and Heaven Realm can be saved! Wonderful! Marvelous!” Fortuna clasped her hands with sparkling eyes. She was in awe of the two Goddesses repairing the hole in the sky.
“Eh?” Sylvia was about to talk to the girls, but she found everyone had left without her. She then rushed into the next room. “Hey, you guys going without me? So mean, too meanie!”
Meanwhile, Lifa and Gaia were busy repairing the realm boundary with a new layer to patch the hole in the sky. They applied the liquid from the cracks at the edges and then slowly went to the center area.
They did their job with utmost care. It was like patching a huge hole in the glass wall with liquid glass. Heavenly laws soon assisted them in avoiding any interference from the infinity sky.
The God King soon received the news. He immediately dispatched dozens of high-rank Gods to guard the two Goddesses against any disturbance.
*Zzz…*
Vanessa, Yuuki, and Lynn had transformed into fluffy little creatures and huddled between Elysia and the Goddess of Light. They sought the warmth there, and nothing could disturb them, much less prevent them.
“…” Rhea just smiled wryly because she was the one who let the cat and the foxes huddle there. Or rather, she couldn’t stop them.
An hour later, Elena and Elysia awoke with a slight ticklish feeling in their tummy. They stayed up all night because of the experiment, making them a bit light-headed in the morning.
Elysia and Elena soon opened their eyes but simultaneously checked their tummy. They found the three white balls huddled there.
“Hmm?” Vanessa raised her head due to the slight movements. She looked at her master’s face and gave a lick on the cheek. “Good afternoon, master.”
“O-ah, um… Good afternoon.” Elysia lay back down and gave some head pats to her fluffy cat. Yuuki soon asked for the same, and she immediately granted that wish.
“…” Lynn glanced at the Goddess of Light with an expectant gaze.
“You want head pats too, but are embarrassed to ask? Don’t be shy.” Elena was amused with their new pet.
“Xentia also.” Xentia felt a little jealous, and she asked the head pats to her Goddess.
“Mm.” Rhea granted Xentia’s wish, and it produced cheerful giggles.
“What’s with this situation? Is this a cuddle and head pats event?” Sylvia entered the room and gaped in astonishment.
“You want to join? Sometimes, you really want to get the attention of the person who is precious to you. The last two days were pretty crazy, after all.” Nell was amused by that sight.
“Perhaps, I’ll pass for now. Ely seems to have stayed up all night because of the experiment. Have you all had lunch?” Sylvia waved her hand in front of her face. Elysia’s head pats were nice, but she was not as shameless as those fluffy little ones.
“Ely, you must have missed breakfast too, right?” Evelyn went to the side of the bed.
“Mm, maybe.” Elysia gulped her saliva somewhat nervously. She remembered Evelyn could be like a stern assistant if she stayed up all night, let alone skipped breakfast.
“Maybe? That’s not good, Ely. Don’t tell me you skipped dinner too.” Evelyn wiggled her finger right and left.
“…” Elysia turned her face to the side. She was feeling hungry now, but she didn’t dare to answer Evelyn’s question.
*Growl*
Elysia’s stomach rumbled, giving a clear answer to the stern assistant.
“All right, everyone. We’d better eat lunch first.” Evelyn clapped her hands for attention. She then asked the servants outside to prepare lunch for them.
She asked for something of good nutritional value, not just fruit and vegetables like the Fate Goddess always ordered for them.
“Uuh, how long have we been in Heaven Realm?” Elysia propelled her body to sit.
“About thirty hours since our departure from Earth.” Nell tried to estimate.
“Phew… Thank goodness, we can still return in time to Earth.” Elysia wiped her nonexistent sweat. She still remembered her promise to Erina.
A few minutes later, Lifa and Gaia returned to the room. However, they came with several other Gods and Goddesses.
“Marvelous! Now Heaven Realm has been saved from the impending doom. The fate has been successfully changed. We must celebrate this goodness with a wonderful feast to express our gratitude, the Goddesses and angels from another world.” Ileus spread his arms wide with a happy laugh and invited everyone.
