Chapter 246: Personal Level Conversation (1)
Elysia watched Rosie and Bianca's backs until they walked out of the room, then she leaned back on the sofa. Come to think of it, today was a day full of problems from various events.
'I hope this is the best way. This body used to be Alisha's, but now it's me, Elysia.' Elysia muttered softly in her mind.
'Ely, what do you think would happen if you answered bluntly and frankly?' Elena replied, wondering what response Rosie would give if Elysia admitted things as they were.
'I don't know, and it's not the right choice. We don't know why I woke up in this body, and that's not my will either. It also means I don't have to admit my real identity, which has taken over Alisha's body to anyone.' Elysia admitted that decision with clarity. She felt lost and didn't know what was right or wrong, but she would not hesitate to embrace her best decisions.
'Mhm, it would only invite danger and trouble if you confessed everything to Rosie. You can be labeled a spirit who took over Alisha's body, and trouble after trouble will come afterwards.' Elena nodded in understanding.
She knew Elysia's mindset would be a simple life, away from problems. Even so, Elysia never lied in her every word out of habit, it was just a play on words.
'En, I am me. If Alisha has gone to heaven with her parents, then I can only send prayers to them. However, if Alisha has swapped with Ali like our previous theory... It's a bit complicated, and I don't know.' Elysia closed her eyes. She didn't want to overthink anything.
'Hehe, I also got brought here with you. Never mind, we don't discuss this anymore. After all, don't Eve and Ella want to exchange words with you on a personal level? Something like confiding, or girl's talk.' Elena closed the matter in their discussion.
She also considered the decision was the best and right. Sometimes, blatant honesty wouldn't be appreciated. Elysia didn't have to be responsible for anything and to anyone whatsoever.
Therefore, Elysia's statement towards Rosie was limited to that. It was only done to straighten their relationship for the common good.
'Well, even if it's like that, I don't feel comfortable because of this. I felt like I owed Alisha a kindness. Hum, Rosie is a good girl, and her family is unlikely to disappoint. We will provide assistance to the Reinhard Duke Family in one important matter. Out of respect for Alisha and for my peace of heart.' Elysia opened her eyes in her statement.
Elena knew Elysia didn't expect an answer or suggestion, just a confirmation from her. She smiled gently from within the Soul Realm. 'Yes, that's us.'
Seeing Elysia sitting on the sofa silently and looking tired, Ella and Evelyn got up from the bed and sat beside Elysia. The girl who just looked up didn't realize that they were already sitting there.
"Ely, what are you thinking? Can you tell us? We're all ears, right, Eve?" Ella nudged Elysia's arm slightly for attention.
"Yes, you can tell us anything, Ely. Maybe we can help with something, even if it's just listening." Evelyn nodded in agreement. She just wanted to know more about her best friend.
Hearing that, Elysia immediately came out of her brief conversation with Elena. She looked to the right and left to see her friends who were looking at her with concern.
"Hmm, thanks for your concern, Ella, Eve. I'm fine, just a little thought about Rosie and her little sister. Then about what happened recently. Huff... And it's only been a month I've been in this world." Elysia gave a reassuring smile. Her train of thoughts was not something that needs to be told carelessly in every condition.
"Em, we can only convey sorrow to the bereaved, and prayers to the deceased. There is not much we can do other than wish for the finest." Ella clasped her hands in prayer. She recited a silent prayer to the Goddess, praying for Alisha.
Nevertheless, she suddenly remembered that Elysia's master was also a Goddess. So, to whom should she send her prayer?
Goddess of Light or Goddess of Blessings? Ella felt conflicted... However, she ended up sent her prayer to the Goddess of Blessings.
"Nee, what I did was right?" Elysia looked at Ella for a moment and suddenly asked. She wanted to know what her friends thought about today and what had just happened.
"What do you mean by that, Ely? Are you still thinking about what happened in the Hastterre Forest, and the accursed monsters?" Evelyn knitted her brows, not yet understanding her best friend's question.
"Yes that, and also the thing just now about Rosie and me. What do you think about that?" Elysia confirmed that.
"Hmm, let's see. Yes, you are so silly, but what you did was right. Also, because of that, I got to know where you really came from Ely. Maybe you don't know how sad I was when you were found without any signs of life. Please never do something crazy like that again." Evelyn thought for a moment to choose the right words before conveying them.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me. The situation and condition shoved me to that incident." Elysia looked down slightly in her apology. She felt guilty remembering how sad Evelyn and Ella were at the time.
"It's fine, now you're fine. All thanks to your master." Evelyn wagged her hand. She couldn't bear to see the pitiful expression of her best friend.
"En, then what about Rosie just now?" Elysia nodded slightly, understanding Evelyn's suggestions and worries.
"As for Rosie, I think making her realize that you are not her little sister is the best thing for her. You just hugged her instead of saying something when she was sad. It's a good thing for Rosie so she can reorganize her thoughts. Is there something wrong with that, Ely?" Evelyn tilted her head slightly.
"Nothing's wrong, I just want to know what you think about it. How about you, Ella?" Elysia shook her head with a faint smile, then turned to the girl on the other side.
"Hmm, you know Ely... You're so mysterious and keep a lot of secrets. There are too many vague things about you. However, you are an extraordinary and amazing girl. You did your best to save the students through difficult battles without fear." After saying that, Ella took Elysia's hand and grasped it gently with both hands.
"You are the Goddess of Light's disciple... I don't know how strong you are, but I know it's definitely not an easy battle for you. Your heroic spirit amazes me with a dazzling glow. You have no qualms about saving the innocent and quells the evil. Ely, in the world you came from, your master and you must have been extraordinary existences. It's an honor for me to know you." Ella's eyes sparkled with a radiant smile. She looked at her esteemed friend with reverence. She got out of the line of conversation and just spoke whatever came to her mind.
"Ah-uh, thanks, but you don't need to be any different than usual, Ella. I'm human too like you and Eve." Elysia felt a little overwhelmed by Ella. She did not want different treatment from her two friends.
"Hehe, with all my heart." Ella chuckled and let go of Elysia's hand.
"Ah, speaking of the world you came from... It must be a beautiful and wonderful world. Can you tell us about your world, Ely? I want to know about another world inhabited by humans far beyond the horizon and the shackles of the star-filled sky." Evelyn wrapped her hand around her best friend's arm. She wanted to ask further questions as the three of them had previously agreed.
"With pleasure. Our previous agreement is still in place, right? If you want to know a few things about me, then I would like to know about you too." Elysia looked at her friends, right and left. They just nodded in response.
Even Vanessa, who was sitting at the table nearby nodded too. She wanted to know more about her master, the one she served with all her heart.
"The world is named-" Elysia nodded and opened her mouth to tell a story. But, she suddenly fell silent and looked at the entrance because she realized several people were about to enter the VIP room.
Sure enough, a doctor and two nurses in priestly gowns suddenly entered the room. One of the nurses pushed a food serving trolley inside.
"Excuse me, we've come to check on the patient's condition on our grandfather, Pope Alexander's orders. Also to deliver the lunch packages. Uh well, you are Elysia Avery? You look healthy, but that doesn't mean you have fully recovered. Please lie down on the bed and let us check your condition." The doctor who was also an Archbishop adjusted his glasses position as he looked at the black-haired girl on the sofa.
He just received direct orders from Pope Alexander for this assignment, and he was honored. Besides that, He still felt delighted because he met Pope who had finally come out of meditation towards divinity.
"Oh, grandfather... All right, please put that trolley over there. Ely, let me help you get to bed." Ella gave a direction to the priest, then grabbed Elysia's arm to help the girl up.
"Eh, I can walk by myself. Why are you two treating me like I'm so badly injured?" Elysia tried to refuse, but it was useless.
"It's because you haven't fully recovered yet."
"You didn't know your master used divine magic to revive you. We're just afraid you know, so let us help and take care of you."
Ella and Evelyn pulled Elysia to her feet carefully, and they led her to the bed.
