862 The Jealous Lady (2)
‘Fwaah, Ely… Am I a little oversleep? Ehh~ Where are we now? A car racing circuit? Wait, why did that girl strangle that boy?’ Elena just woke up from her beauty sleep. She looked out with their shared senses, which surprised her a bit.
‘Mm, we’re accompanying Erina on a gathering event. We are also waiting for Goddess FORtuna to come. As for the lady over there… I don’t know why she suddenly turned around and strangled Hong Ju-Won.’ Elysia twirled a handful of her hair. She also wondered what was going on.
‘O-oh~ Then where did everyone go?’ Elena understood the situation.
“…” Rhea got up from her seat and moved to Elysia’s lap.
‘They all went to America on an investigative and information-gathering mission at my request. I also asked to visit a technology expo to learn about Earth’s technology, especially related to communication systems.’ Elysia reflexively put her hands around Rhea’s waist and leaned back. She rubbed Rhea’s head, watching a particular couple’s funny exchange while conversing with Elena.
“Ahem!”
“We heard there was a pedophile here.”
“Is there another lolicon here?”
Several men clad in black elite military uniforms came like ninjas.
“What do you mean by lolicon? I’m still healthy and straight!” Hong Ju-Won widened his eyes. He didn’t know the reason, but he knew that he had to clear up this misunderstanding immediately, or his reputation would be damaged. A lot of trouble would come his way.
“Then explain to me why the Lady Elysia whom you talk about and daydream about so often turns out to be just a little girl! No wonder you never look at me… Your interest is beyond common sense.” Ahn Ye-Jin again strangled her crush.
“Hey! I never talk about Lady Elysia that much, let alone daydream about her. The one I’m about to meet is the lady over there! I don’t understand what you mean, but don’t create a misunderstanding.” Hong Ju-Won exerted a bit of force and released Ahn Ye-Jin’s grip from his neck.
“What an unreasonable woman. You are being rude, presumptuous, and want to kill me? I’ll take care of you later.” Hong Ju-Won rubbed his neck and went past Ahn Ye-Jin.
“!?” Erina noticed that the seat on Elysia’s right was empty. She immediately asked Mio to sit there with a gesture.
“Hello, Lady Elysia. Sorry for displaying a slightly silly arrival.” Hong Ju-Won greeted dignifiedly as if the incident just now never happened.
“Hi, are you okay? It’s unusual for you to suddenly come to Tokyo. Did something happen?” Elysia waved her hand.
“No problems happened on my side. Everything went smoothly and normally after your help. My arrival was for something else.” Hong Ju-Won shook his head.
“Eh-eeh~ Isn’t this the most talented one in South Korea’s young generation, the shimmering prince, Hong Ju-Won? You flew all the way from Seoul to Tokyo just to see Elysia-chan? Fweet, so sweet.” Minako put her hands together and examined Hong Ju-Won by circling him.
“However, you seem to be carrying a ticking time bomb. She will soon explode with jealousy. You should take care of your girlfriend first before meeting another girl.” Minako glanced at the jealous lady and seemed about to pounce on Elysia.
“She is not my girlfriend.” Hong Ju-Won shook his head and sighed.
“So you are the one named Lady Elysia?” Ahn Ye-Jin rushed over and pointed at Elysia’s face in annoyance. It was hard to admit that Elysia was gorgeous, but she immediately hated this girl.
“Hello, did something happen that angered you? I think this is the first time we’ve met.” Elysia responded calmly.
“You want to take Ju-Won away from me? You’re a temptress, whore!” Ahn Ye-Jin exploded in jealousy and was about to grab Elysia’s hair.
*Slap*
Rhea gave a light slap to the cheek of the girl who was consumed with emotion. “Enough of that. You’re not allowed to say bad things. Please calm down and speak nicely about your problem, or please get out of here now.”
“You dare to slap me?” Ahn Ye-Jin held her cheek in shock. She could feel a hot and slightly stinging sensation there.
“Why not? Hmm… Why did you put flour on your face?” Rhea checked her palm. There was a trace of powder like strange flour.
“It’s cosmetic makeup. She just used it a little too thick on her face.” Elysia wiped Rhea’s palm with a handkerchief. She wanted to laugh, but Elena had already represented herself in the Elysian Realm.
‘Pfft, our Rhea did it without hesitation. Flour, she said that girl used face flour. Oh no, this is epic.’ Elena burst out laughing.
“Ahn Ye-Jin, don’t you dare touch my clan’s saviour. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but Lady Elysia is a medical expert who saved my clan from destruction. You will face me if you remain unreasonable, and don’t expect I’ll be nice.” Hong Ju-Won stood between Elysia and Ahn Ye-Jin.
“Fufu, it’s a good thing you haven’t laid a finger to Ellie. Otherwise, you might not be able to come back fine, miss.” Erina covered her mouth like a dignified girl, but her gaze radiated an obvious threat.
“You-” Ahn Ye-Jin couldn’t believe her crush would go that far without even thinking about her feelings. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she wasn’t going to cry. She was about to slap the man before her eyes, but someone suddenly distracted her.
“Excuse me, you are Lady Ahn Ye-Jin, yes? Would you mind sitting down for a while and having a little talk with me? Please don’t cry. You seem to have misunderstood something.” Elysia waved her hand with a warm smile. She couldn’t bear to watch the strange exchange of misunderstandings continue in front of her.
“I’m not crying.” Ahn Ye-Jin pursed her lips, but she went to sit down in an empty seat. She ignored all possible threats that were being directed at her because she was not aware of them.
“Do you want a cup of tea?” Minako offered a favor. She got a silent response instead. Nevertheless, she still gave one cup to Ahn Ye-Jin.
“Oh my God, my friend Ju-Won. You screwed up.” Sung Se-Yeon facepalmed. He had no idea what else he could do now.
“…” Fuyumi Yuki glanced at Elysia and Ahn Ye-Jin in silence. She backed away from the scene because she didn’t want to get into unnecessary trouble, but she would still observe them.
“Lady Ahn Ye-Jin, I am a medical expert in training. A few days ago, Hong Clan’s prince came to me for help, and I helped him. It was the only encounter between me and Hong Clan’s young master, Hong Ju-Won. I didn’t take anything and anyone, but why do you say so many mean things?” Elysia wanted to know what had happened. He could guess the fault started with Hong Ju-Won, but she didn’t know for sure.
Ahn Ye-Jin then told her about the situation and Hong Ju-Won’s recent behavior.
“I see… You need to treat your girl friend like a gentleman, Young Master Hong Ju-Won. See, she misunderstood and thought you would abandon everything just to chase after me.” Elysia nodded in understanding.
“How can a barbaric and savage girl like that be my girlfriend? I spoke but she just wouldn’t go in and wouldn’t listen. If it weren’t for her coercion, I wouldn’t have allowed her to come here following me.” Hong Ju-Won folded his arms and snorted.
“Ha? Who do you mean barbaric and savage? I urge you to speak, but you are so arrogant!” Ahn Ye-Jin snapped.
“I’m under no obligation to entertain you.” Hong Ju-Won was firm. He got into a lot of trouble because of Ahn Ye-Jin, but now this girl wanted to harm Elysia?
“Please cool your heads and talk to each other again later. You two have known each other for a long time, right? Lady Ahn Ye-Jin, your approach also seems wrong and will have the opposite effect. Young Master Hong Ju-Won, you also seem to need a bit more gentle and cool-headed for a girl like Lady Ahn Ye-Jin.” Elysia gave a little advice.
“…” Hong Ju-Won and Ahn Ye-Jin fell silent.
“Anyway, may I know the meaning of your sudden arrival? If nothing happened, then why?” Elysia wore a confused expression.
“Ah, yes. It’s related to the event in three days. South Korea’s elite squad will go with Japan’s squad to escord you to the meeting place.” Hong Ju-Won spoke in a whisper-like voice.
“I don’t think it’s necessary. It will only attract unnecessary trouble. You can go with South Korea’s squad… even Erina will go with Japan’s squad. I will go with my own group.” Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
“Erina, do you want to join the car race?” Elysia asked.
“Eh? I’m not very good at driving. I’d better not participate.” Erina immediately refused.
“I don’t have enough experience either. It’s time for me to go, but what about you?” Elysia glanced towards the sky. It was almost time for her to leave.
“I think that’s enough for me. I need to rest.” Erina looked at her hands. It was different from greeting her fans. Everyone here made her a little nervous.
That was why she couldn’t be in the crowd for long, just like at her birthday party. Even though her golden touch was more docile, it was different when her emotions were unstable, like nervousness.
If it wasn’t for Elysia, she definitely wouldn’t have come to this gathering event, despite her grandfather’s insistence. Or just come for a while, then leave.
“All right.” Elysia nodded in understanding. She went to the Minako’s girl group to say goodbye. “Everyone, thank you for everything. However, we already need to go. See you later~”
Erina also said goodbye and then left with her little group.
“Geez, you’ve ruined the mood, Young Master Hong. I still have a lot to talk to Elysia-chan and Erina-chan. Do you know how difficult it was to meet Erina-chan? Not to mention, Elysia-chan… She is currently being watched and protected by many experts from various countries, so please be careful in your actions. You too, Lady Ahn Ye-Jin.
America wants to test the depth of the murky water. It’s best not to get too close when that happens. The Minamoto Clan will even act wisely.” Minako pouted and grumbled with myriad complaints. Even so, she still gave a good suggestion.
After Elysia’s group approached their cars, a golden owl emerged behind the clouds and flew closer to the ground. Its predatory golden eyes examined the surroundings and found Elysia’s whereabouts.
Therefore, the golden owl swooped down to approach its target. Some parties judged it as a surprise attack, and most of them rushed to stop that big bird from the sky. Elysia’s safety was one of their main tasks, after all.
