Chapter 131: Joins the Temporary Party
Chapter 131: Joins the Temporary Party
"Phew... Finally, we arrived at Rosemoor City." Elysia let out a sigh of relief. She was currently hovering over the edge of the forest near the city.
'Master, how are we going to enter the city? This time we are alone, without the Lys girl's letter.' Vanessa looked up from her master's embrace.
'Eh? That's right... I don't have an adventurer card yet... Should we just sneak in?'
'En, that's not bad.' Vanessa nodded in agreement.
'Yes, come in like a normal gust of wind. Nobody will know.' Elena also felt it was the right decision.
'Let's do that.'
After Elysia conveyed her confirmation to Elena and Vanessa, she immediately landed in the thick forest beneath her. Then she flew slowly toward the city. When she was close to the city entrance gate, she walked as if she was normal air.
No knights or guards intercepted or noticed her presence. They were only focused on their respective duties.
As soon as she made her way into the city with such convenient invisible magic... Elysia ran using a light step towards the Highmight Guild in the city center to get there faster.
However, as the guild building was in sight, she remembered the Swype from Sylvia. She put that magical device in her [Space Storage].
How did the message from Sylvia arrive if Swype was kept in that inexplicable space? Never mind that Swype couldn't catch the new message if put in the [Space Bag]. Perhaps, there were already many messages from Sylvia.
Elysia immediately took a silver smartphone called Swype from her [Space Storage]. Sure enough, there were immediately many messages from Sylvia, messages that finally reached the recipient.
She read from the top of the chat, good morning greetings from Sylvia in the morning to the newest one quickly. The beginning was like a normal chat, but getting to the latest conversation, what Sylvia wrote in the talk was as if she was bored for something and needed a friend to accompany her.
Sylvia was like a poor girl, 112 chats unanswered, and only just got read by the recipient after all that. The last chat from Sylvia was 30 minutes ago.
Aivlys : [ Ais, I forgot to tell you something about Swype. My father's communication tool is really great, but please don't use Swype in public, okay? All of us might get into trouble :3 ]
Aivlys : [ It's now an hour before one, I'll be waiting for you at the guild's hall (^O^)/ ]
'Uhh... I feel a bad taste in my mouth, Sylvia has sent many messages, but I didn't answer a single one.' Elysia felt guilty. She forgot this practical communication tool.
'Bad Ely, don't forget to apologize to Sylvia later. She became so unfortunate, waiting for your reply without giving up.' Elena wanted to laugh but also felt sorry for Sylvia. She felt complicated.
'Un, I'll do it. Elysia confirmed, then she looked for a hidden alley to revoke her invisible mode.
*bzzt*
As soon as Elysia stepped into a secluded place where no one else could see, and she just came out of invisible mode, a message from Sylvia arrived.
Aivlys : [ Ais, we are already at the guild tavern, eat for free. Come here quickly, where are you now? ]
Elysia smiled slightly, then she typed with one hand to reply to the message, one that finally got a reply.
Aisyle : [ Apologize for the late reply. I've been at the perimeter of the guild building. I'll be there in no time. ]
After answering the message, Elysia put her Swype in the pocket of her academy uniform blouse.
'Eh? Academy uniform? I'm still wearing the academy uniform!?' Elysia immediately checked the clothes she was wearing, frantically, and it was true.
She quickly put Vanessa on the ground, then she covered herself with a concrete barrier. She changed into the elegant adventurous dress she wore yesterday.
Safe and perfect, she walked to the guild building with Vanessa on her shoulder.
Meanwhile, in the guild building... In the sprawling tavern like a restaurant and quite a bustling bar, it was filled with hungry adventurers and those who wanted to relax.
At the table closest to the guild gate... At a table for eight people in the most strategic spot for observing anyone who passed through the guild entrance... Two girls and three men were sitting together with some warm dishes in front of them.
A temporary party formed from Ravenlight and Sylvia's guild party did not yet have a name. The strange group consisted of a stout but cold man who did not touch the dish he ordered... Two girls who were having a peaceful lunch... And two men in body armor who were eating their lunch in silence.
"Father, you haven't eaten your lunch yet?" Sylvia happily asked. Not because she was concerned about her father, but because she finally got a reply from her friend, the reply message she had been waiting for...
She just sent a message to Ais secretly so that the humans around her didn't realize anything suspicious about the magical tool she was using.
There was no need to wait. The message immediately received a reply, Ais was almost here.
"I'm fine, just finish your lunch." Dylan nodded at his daughter. He viciously ordered expensive food but only to be stared at without being eaten. It was a pity for the food that was already in front of him.
"Um, okay. If you don't like it, why did you order it? If Ais arrives and your food hasn't been eaten yet, I'll give it to Vanessa humph!" Sylvia gave a cute snort and then immediately finished her light lunch and her sweet shaved ice.
Dylan didn't answer that. He wouldn't want to eat food made by humans. Before the Ravenlight party members had the chance to ask Aivlys about Ais or Vanessa, she suddenly waved her hand at someone with a cheerful smile.
Martin, Franky, and Anika observed a graceful and elegant girl in a beautiful dress approaching them with a faint smile.
The three of them looked at each other with the same assumption. The approaching girl was Ais that Aivlys was talking about, but was she a Holy Knight or a princess knight from a high-class aristocrat?
Aivlys alone was very special, not to mention her father, and now added a girl who seemed more potent than all of them. Anika whispered her vague intuition to her comrades.
"Ais, I'm glad you came before the promised time! Um, half an hour before the time you said last night. Here, sit next to me. Have you had lunch? We'll eat for free, and Martin will pay for everything!"
Sylvia cheerfully patted the bench next to her. She protected it just for her friend. Even her father just sat on the seat on the other side with Anika.
"Good afternoon, Lys. Please forgive me. I just saw the messages from you just now. I really forgot I had it." Elysia sat beside Sylvia and apologized sincerely.
"That's fine, Ais. It is natural to forget about it. You wouldn't want to know how angry my father was when I forgot to reply to him after half a day had passed..." Sylvia was glad her friend didn't slip up and gave the name information cryptically.
"Message, what is it? A letter?" Anika curiously asked. She ultimately didn't understand what the two girls were talking about. However, that was not before she observed the gallant father's expression, who sat between her and Aivlys.
"Yes, like that. Ais, introduce, this is everyone, a temporary party for a great quest, and every one, this is Ais, my friend." Sylvia introduced the Ravenlight members badly and didn't mean much.
Elysia just tilted her head slightly with an awkward smile. What kind of acquaintance introduction technique was that? Even though she didn't know much, she still had to introduce herself.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Aisyle. An adventurer who will register today with Lys." Elysia put one arm on her upper chest as if giving a polite salute.
"Nice to meet you too. I am Martin, leader of the Ravenlight guild party. Aisle, what a beautiful name. Are you a Holy Knight or a princess from an aristocrat?" Martin smiled kindly.
"Regarding that, it's a shame, I'm just an ordinary girl from home. If you ask Lys, you will know I am from the same village as her and her father." Elysia shook her head slowly. She answered so faintly.
"What? Ordinary girl? From the village? Is that true of you three? Well, never mind, I was also from a village near the forest when I was very young. Nice to meet you too, Aisyle." Anika uttered her disbelief at the new information. Still, she immediately walked away from her thoughts as Aivlys nodded her head.
It is not her or anyone else's power to dispute Aisyle, Aivlys, or Nalyd's status. Whether they were real aristocrats or not, the guild was a place for adventurers.
Maybe they had come to register as adventurers with undercover identities for the sake of experience, just like some young aristocrats elsewhere. It's only this one. The father came to accompany the girls as their protector, not a knight or guard.
"I'm Franky, I'm an outspoken person, and that's all. Nice to meet you too." Franky didn't forget to introduce himself.
Elysia only nodded her head at that. She still didn't understand the meaning of a temporary party or a quest Sylvia had accepted. For the time being, she just needed to go along with the flow.
