Chapter 109: Beginning of Adventurous Life
"Pwease?" Feeling the doubt and hesitation from the girl she was holding, Sylvia repeated her wish once again.
'Sister Elena, how and what should I do? She looks so innocent, and this pleading expression... Uuu...' Elysia did not immediately answer and asked her best sister for help, the one she could always rely on.
'Hmm... Try to say what your heart says. For this, you know better about what you want to do. Her expression, mannerisms, and words, she just wants to spend more time with you.'
'Um, I understand. But what does Sylvia mean by me as her second friend?' Elysia asked in confusion.
'Of course, as it sounds, you are the second friend of the princess of the devil race. Her first friend is definitely you too, but as Ely in my form. Isn't this Sylvia poor enough? 556 years of living and only having friends when she met you? And her two friends are actually one person pfft... Ufufu...' Elena wisely explained the girl's situation, but she couldn't help but laugh at the end of her sentence.
Elysia sighed slightly, but her brain and heart were working quickly to weigh her decision.
"Can not?" Sylvia immediately put on a disappointed face that looked so pitiful, her shoulders lowered, she freed Elysia's hand. Her joy faded when Elysia didn't answer after a few seconds of waiting.
"Okay, let's go there together, but I can't guarantee I can always go on adventures with you. I also have another business. Is that acceptable?" Elysia offered and made this full of expression girl immediately return to her excited self.
The combination of these two special devils was very worrying. The Demon Emperor and the Demon Saint freely roamed the Human continent with an unknown agenda.
She better keep in touch with them to find out what was going to happen slowly. Not to mention the Demon Saint's personality was so innocent, and there seemed to be a mark on her head about her being gullible.
"Really? That's great! I don't mind that, and my father must be happy too. Let's go now. Father, let's go." Sylvia nodded with a smile, then waved her hand at her father.
What she had just done to persuade Elysia did make Dylan happy. But, in another perspective from her original intention.
"You two can fly. I sit on my companion's back. Are you ready to go?" Elysia asked for confirmation.
"En, we're ready to go." Sylvia nodded, and her father remained silent with his approval.
"Hmm... Then please wait a moment. I'll be right back. I can't come to the city and the guild wearing pajamas and slippers." Elysia and Vanessa went away for a moment, and the big white tiger obediently became her master's cover.
Elysia used her magic to create a wall of energy from the wind to blur the light so no one could peek. She had to change into a more suitable dress for adventure.
After the barrier was established, she immediately wore an adventurous white outfit with a little purple and blue color, then also a cape. She was like a real princess knight, and no one would doubt it.
The clothes she bought in a women's clothing store were especially useful when the time came. Elena forced her to buy more than a hundred kinds of women's clothing for all fields. At least, apart from everyday life, this one set of clothes was really useful.
Unfortunately, she never thought of making her own clothes using magic. Real materialization with her unique magic, things she and Elena had never imagined at all. At least for now...
After she was ready, Elysia immediately got out of the protection of the opaque wind barrier. Then, she put her [Space Bag] around her waist.
"Thank you for waiting. Now that I am ready to go, you can fly to the sky first." Elysia spoke as she climbed onto Vanessa's back.
"Beautiful, now you look much prettier, Ais. Are you a knight in the special forces? A princess?"
"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not a knight or a princess. Just an ordinary girl." Elysia shook her head slightly.
This time, not only did Dylan put on a face as if he said he wouldn't believe at all about that ordinary girl's identity, but Sylvia too. Who was willing to eat lame lies that were blatantly fake? However, the two of them simply ignored that.
"Nee~ Ais, can I come with you on a ride? Hi, beautiful tiger, can I get to know your name? My name is Aivlys. You can call me, Lys."
Sylvia walked over and waved her hand at the white tiger ridden by Elysia. This winged tiger was a Spirit Beast and could definitely speak. It would be best if she got acquainted with her.
Vanessa didn't answer right away. She looked back and received a nod from her master.
"I, Vanessa. The fierce and terrifying Contracted Beast. Now fear me. Rawr..." Vanessa growled and tried an intimidating joke.
This foreign girl seemed very familiar with her master, so she wasn't a bad person. Not to mention, herself as a Spirit Beast had also been caught by them.
"Hehehe... What's with that cute growl. I've never heard of it like that. Who is a good tiger, who's a good girl? Kuchi, kuchi. Miaow."
"Mew."
Sylvia stroked the underside of the white tiger's chin gently. Her unique chant succeeded in making the white tiger meow.
"All right, Vanessa, let me sit on your back. We have a trip of tens of thousands of kilometers to the northwest. Rosemoor City is our destination! Em, how do I sit here, Ais?" Sylvia cheerfully boarded Vanessa, but she suddenly became a little confused. Her friend sat sideways. Shouldn't when riding a beast be supposed to sit astride?
"Just sit the way you feel comfortable." Elysia didn't feel anything was wrong and didn't even understand what Sylvia was thinking.
She had never ridden a horse and had never seen anyone ride a horse. How would she know? All she knew, a virtuous woman should put her legs together and not straddle.
"Then excuse me."
Sylvia sat astride right behind Elysia and put one hand around Elysia's waist as if preventing the latter from falling while flying later. She did not know her effort was unnecessary, and she seemed to be taking advantage of Elysia's body.
Elysia blushed slightly. This was the second girl who bravely embraced her body. First, Evelyn, then Sylvia. But she immediately tried to get rid of those thoughts and feelings of shame because they were all girls, certain types of girls used to stick to each other.
"Why are you blushing, Ais?" Sylvia peeked at Elysia's face.
"You hugged me pretty tight. You got too close and clung to me." Elysia blushed even more as Sylvia moved, a soft object bumping into her arm. Not to mention Elena, who was chirping with teasing and naughty jokes in her mind...
They were still just acquaintances... Unlike Evelyn, who was already on the friend list. Unfortunately, when Elysia took a little distance from their seated position, Sylvia pulled her body and wrapped her waist tighter.
"What? But you sit sideways. What if you fall when we fly? That's terrible." Sylvia was just worried.
"I used to sit like this, and I'm fine. Forget it, let's go to the sky. Rosemoor City, as the nearest city, is quite far from here. It's eight o'clock in the evening..." Elysia immediately changed the topic and asked Vanessa to fly to the sky. Then, she became overwhelmed when she took out the clock from her [Space Bag] to see the current time.
"We're flying, Yay!" Sylvia happily exclaimed while maintaining her posture and seemed to hold Elysia's body from falling. This wasn't the first time she had flown on a beast, but this was the first time he went flying while looking after someone.
Their mileage was thousands of kilometers, but Vanessa's steady flight speed was around 400 kilometers per hour, an all-day trip! How could Elysia wait that long! Tomorrow she still had to attend the magic class. More importantly, there was an appointment to make the pizza in the morning.
"Nee~ Lys. After I think about it, isn't the distance from our location to the nearest town about a dozen thousand kilometers? Isn't it going to be a day's trip?" Elysia asked with concern as they reached a steady altitude.
"Yup. Eh, hum, after I inhaled it closely, your body smelled like a variety of flowers. Very calming and pleasant, a unique fragrance. What flowers are they?"
"That's the flower combination I like, now don't change the subject. Are we going to spend the whole day at a steady pace? That's all day, you know, all day." Elysia was a little restless. There was a little guilt in her heart for her own decision.
"That's not a problem. We can spend time chatting and sharing stories like some time ago. You're so likable and easy to get along with. Err... Well, you seem worried about long-distance travel. Maybe my father's Acceleration Magic can help. He's a Spirit Mage for a great reason." Sylvia nodded with a happy smile, but she couldn't bear to see the worried expression of her new friend, a recent trip with a new friend.
Wasn't she lucky enough? She made two friends on her two occasions to escape from the Devil Continent, which her father controlled and ruled? On the Devil Continent, there was only a hint of insincerity and other unpleasant intentions. She didn't have any friends or anyone.
Her first friend was a Goddess who had just come to this world, and the other was a human girl who was very mysterious and likable. The adventurous life for Sylvia seemed so bright and beautiful.
