Chapter 166: Goddisciple
Chapter 166: Goddisciple
"En." The little Goddess nodded her head.
"Okay, now is the time for me to come back."
The moment Elena said it, the little Goddess stood up hurriedly to hold back the high-class Goddess who was about to leave. "Wait, wait a moment... I've answered a few questions from you. So, now it's my turn."
"Hm? Okay, make it quick." Elena just agreed with that.
"If, if the sealed race arises and threatens the world with their existence, can you help this world?" The little Goddess looked up slightly as if making a pitiful gaze.
"I guess what... We are still in the dark, and we know too little. Say that again when you return and can confirm everything you need. We will not make any promises for that." Elena had an urge to sigh. Apparently, this puny Goddess only wanted ultimate reinforcement.
"Ohh..." The little Goddess felt a little disappointed, but that answer didn't mean no, so she still had a great chance of getting a yes.
"That's all from me, see you later, O puny Goddess."
When Elena had just closed her eyes to switch roles again with Elysia, the little Goddess tweeted once again. "Wait, wait, please, one more thing. Just one more thing, before you leave."
As a result, Elena reopened her golden eyes. She hadn't switched roles with Elysia, and this puny Goddess became somewhat determined to hold her back. "What else?"
"Um, ano, umm... You have divine power, right? Can you please withdraw the master-disciple contract between Elysia and me? It was formed by accident, so please forgive me." The little Goddess became restless, a little awkward, and also embarrassed. But, she had the intention to establish a valid contract after this mistake was lifted.
While Elysia's master was still possessing Elysia's body, she better ask this kindly. She would not be able to come out puffed up with pride if everyone knew, she, the Goddess of Blessings, being a goddisciple of a little girl.
"Ho? Why do I have to do it? It's between you and my Elysia. So, you have to ask her, not me." Elena flatly refused.
"That, that's the thing... To break the relationship contract that binds the spirit, it must be done by the master, the holder, and the master must have the divine power to break the contract safely." The Little Goddess became even more restless and nervous.
"Hehe... It's your spirit that is bound to my Elysia, not the other way around. Well, this is so mild when compared to the contract between my Elysia and her contracted beast. Isn't this great? So, you can dedicate yourself to her and me fufufu..." Elena chuckled while covered her mouth gracefully.
However, on the other hand, that chuckle sounded like an evil laugh to the little Goddess's ear.
"No, no, it's not like that. My intentions are good, so let me repeat the correct contract. I'm a Goddess, and I shouldn't be a goddisciple from a girl who is still at the Apprentice level!" The little Goddess frantically denied that.
"Can't? Why is that? You just have to wait for my Elysia to reach level 200 or so, and then ask her with a sweet smile. Anyway, goodbye!" After saying that short and rather vicious sentence, Elena immediately fled and changed roles with Elysia.
"Wait, wait! She is still around level 21 or 22. How long will it take until..." The little Goddess frantically wagged her hands to get Elena's attention, but it was too late. She lost her words in the middle of her sentence.
At this moment, the young girl in front of her seemed to change once again. Not in form, but in the atmosphere and subtle aura that she could feel. The oppressive and superior aura now turned into an aura of peace and calm.
Elena no longer possessed Elysia's body, and the one in front of her was the same Elysia as before.
It only lasted like a blink of an eye, then Elysia opened her eyes and returning to her body as before. Her golden eyes quickly turned purplish-blue again, and the runes that had embellished her eyes also disappeared.
"Um, until?" Elysia tilted her head slightly.
"Ah, nothing. Come to think of it, you are still much better than your master, O Elysia girl." The little Goddess let out a soft sigh. She felt a slight limp in her legs, then sat back on Elysia's palm as a result.
"Hehe, is that so? For me, she is better than me. What did my master tell you, the Goddess of Blessings?" Even though she knew what had happened, Elysia had to continue her behavior of not knowing anything about the earlier conversation.
"En, she said she would help me to protect the world, and in return, she asked me to guide you, as a goddisciple... But, I should be your patron... Sigh..." The little Goddess sighed once again, with a clear sound of the wind blowing.
"Are you sad and disappointed? Is there anything I can do to comfort you?"
Hearing this young girl's offer of kindness... The source of all the commotion of her heart and mind... And the one caused her mood to feel like a tornado swirling in the middle of the sea... The little Goddess could only shake her head slowly.
"No, Elysia girl. I'm fine. You're so kind. Unlike your master." The little Goddess gives a light smile to the girl who cares for her. But, she said the last part of the sentence only in her heart. She didn't dare say it out loud.
"Okay..." Elysia nodded her head subtly.
"Nee, Elysia girl. What are you going to do next?" The little Goddess suddenly changed all the topics of conversation to the current, light one.
"Hm, continue to attend the Blessing Day event as a Priest?" Elysia answered, but it sounded like she was asking back.
"Alright, now I have entered the activity program to praise and adore me. You better follow and listen to how great I am hehe..." The little Goddess drifted away slowly and somewhat proudly. She sat on Elysia's shoulder then revoked her illusion bubble. Even so, no one would be able to see she was there other than Elysia.
Simultaneously, the voice that had been somewhat dispelled by the illusion bubble immediately returned to normal. The voice of Cardinal instructed the congregation to stand up and was followed by everyone who immediately obeyed.
There was no music, accompaniment, guide, or anything like that. All of the people already knew what they were going to do afterward. Singing hymns to their Goddess, the thing that had been around since more than 80 thousand years ago.
Among all those present in the Cathedral Hall, they simultaneously chanted words of praise like songs with full wisdom for Goddess's blessing who always blessed the Human Continent.
However, there was a girl who had not memorized the hymn. She just opened her mouth and exhaled air from there as if she was singing. And in the second repeated lyrics, Elysia sang along with the others. She already memorized after remembering the first lyrics.
It didn't take more than five minutes, but she felt a little tired. The beautiful hymn, only to praise the Goddess of Blessings, but that very Goddess was sitting on her shoulder!
The little Goddess was humming with a big smile while kicking her legs with great joy. She was in a good mood, unlike a moment ago.
'You really like receiving praise from the hymn earlier, the Goddess of Blessings?' Elysia sent telepathy as the event's activities progressed to the next.
'Yes, my mood will be a lot better when I hear it, no matter how many times I hear it. 100 thousand years, only that hymn that comforted me...' The little Goddess just gave confirmation. Although the language was different, the content was the same as the hymn in Old Vrelenia.
'Hmm... Earlier, you have a terrible mood swing. Maybe, I'll sing your hymn to cheer you up when that happens.'
'Well, you can try...' The little Goddess seemed to want to blame the source for her terrible mood swing, but she had no context or reason to do that, no longer.
Then, Blessing Day continued to the next event until the Cathedral Hall's activities approached the event's climax. After the sermon, it was the offerings that were actually a session of donations. Then, announcements, and the delivery of intercession, they arrived at the two most awaited things.
The blessing session and the charity session! Who didn't want to receive free treatment and donations? Anything would look good, and everyone would be happy, as long as it was free!
'Umm, the Goddess of Blessings, the event is coming to an end. What are you going to do next?' Elysia asked with concern. She was a little reluctant to support a Goddess on her shoulder forever, right?
'I woke up from my deep slumber because of you. My curse disappeared somehow, but the aftereffect is still there. As I told you and your master, I must ascertain the current state of the world immediately and as soon as possible.' The little Goddess clenched her fists. There was a goal to be accomplished in the name of many things.
'Okay, Elysia girl. It's a good thing to be able to meet you, see you next time. I'll look for you and find you, even if you don't want to meet me at that time hehe...' The little Goddess floated in front of Elysia and waved her hand.
A temporary farewell, this confirmation mission would not take long. Not when Elena, her grandgodmaster who might be waiting for news from her.
