Chapter 446: Souvenir
Chapter 446: Souvenir
"How about your eight-day trip? I miss you so much. Was it an exciting trip?" Evelyn held her best friend's arm with a smile and a curious look.
"Hmm, I can't say it's an exciting one. But, it was a new experience for me." Elysia smiled faintly and closed her eyes for a moment. The last eight days were filled with many astonishing events.
"Then, do you remember your promise when you said goodbye to us?" Evelyn became even more eager to find out. She looked at her best friend with a look full of expectations.
"Of course, I remember, Eve. Those are the photos and the souvenirs, right? Would you like to have a look at the photos or the souvenirs first?" Elysia didn't want to disappoint the girl's hopeful heart and gave Evelyn a wink.
"Photos first!" Evelyn raised her hand high, and Ella nodded in support.
Elysia checked everyone in the room for a moment, then nodded to her friends. "All right, but just looking kay? No copies or gossip is coming out of this room."
"Un." Ella and Evelyn nodded in unison.
"I want to see the photos as well!" Sylvia hurriedly sat down with Elysia and co. She also wanted to see what Elysia had gone through on a journey with the three divine beings.
For the next few moments, Elysia showed her friends lots of photos from her Memoire. It was a travel album documented by Elysia. However, the attention of the three curious girls was focused on the charm that the outside world possessed, something they had never seen before.
"Nee, where is this, Ely? The trees here are very tall and dense. Oh! There is a little fairy who happened to be caught in Memoire's image. Apparently, this is a forest in the Fairy Continent." Evelyn pointed to a photo with sparkling eyes.
It was the umpteenth time Evelyn expressed what she was thinking when she saw the photos. Even though it wasn't just her, Ella and Sylvia were no different from her either.
"Yup, they happened to be photographed by me." Elysia nodded in agreement, then she switched the image to the next.
"Hum, this is really amazing. If I may ask, why aren't there any photos of the Tree of Life? It's said to be in the Fairy Continent, right? Didn't you pay a visit to the sacred tree that is said to be only visible from the Fairy Continent and Elven Continent? ?" Ella gave Elysia a curious look.
"I don't have a picture of it because the Tree of Life has fallen apart." Elysia shook her head with a subtle sigh.
Hearing that response, the three girls beside Elysia covered their mouths in surprise. They never thought that the Tree of Life was no longer there.
"Umm, I've read the story about the Tree of Life. But, did the Tree of Life fall apart long ago?" Sylvia gulped her saliva and asked.
"No, it happened about six days ago. To be honest, the Goddesses and I witnessed that. Vann was there to see it too." Elysia beckoned for the white cat to come closer.
And, of course, Vannesa happily ran over and jumped onto her master's lap. She got a gentle caress from her master. One thing she hasn't felt in almost a week. She subconsciously purred because of it.
"Six days ago? Did something happen in Fairy Continent? Or, could it be..." Evelyn wondered, and suddenly a terrible thought came to mind.
"The accursed monsters that were sealed under the Tree of Life were the cause. But that's okay. The new Tree of Life has grown back in another realm. Let's take a look at the other photos." Elysia immediately changed the topic of the conversation as she felt it was already pretty heavy to continue.
After seeing some of the other photos, Evelyn became curious. "Nee, Ely, of all the places you've visited in the last eight days... In your opinion, which one is the most beautiful and left the deepest impression on you?"
"Deepest impression? Hmm, wait a moment. For that, only one place comes to mind." Elysia searched picture after picture in fast motion. She didn't take more than ten seconds to find what she was looking for. "Ah, found it. Here it is."
"???" Ella, Evelyn, and Sylvia looked intently at the image displayed on the screen of Elysia's Memoire. Yuuki even subconsciously stood behind Elysia to take a look.
"Sulfur crater?"
"No, it's like a colorful natural pond?"
"No, no, I see it as a rainbow hot spring pool!" Sylvia declared her guess proudly.
"Ohh~" Ella and Evelyn nodded in understanding as Elysia gave an approving nod.
"Yup, this is the Blessings Spot, a hot spring found by the Goddess of Blessings. In this extreme and hidden place, it holds a lot of goodness." Elysia tapped her Memoire's screen.
"Whoa... Can we visit there?" Ella asked with a glint in her eyes. She became very attracted to the hot springs for many reasons.
"Don't ask me for permission. You will need to ask the Goddess of Blessings for permission later." Elysia wiggled her finger to the right and left.
"Un, I'll ask for twilight's permission later." Ella clasped her hands with a radiant smile on her face.
"Me too." "Count me in." Evelyn and Sylvia also volunteered.
After that, the jolly girls continued to look through the photos. Meanwhile, Elena was just playing and chatting with Rhea to pass the time. Even so, her eyes sparkled briefly when the conversation about hot springs crossed earlier. She had some plans in mind.
By the time the photo viewing was over, Ella and Evelyn marveled to imagine their chance to see the vast outside world was about to arrive. It might be fantastic, but it was also not without danger.
"Would you like a souvenir from me?" Elysia asked with a mysterious smile.
Ella and Evelyn immediately returned to their conscious mind and repeatedly nodded to Elysia's offer.
"Please give me a souvenir too." Sylvia opened her palms as if she expected something to be placed there.
"Sure, everyone will get it. Let's go to the table, and you can choose whatever you like. For your information, all these souvenirs can come from the Fairy Continent, Elven Continent, Beastkin Continent, or even Beast Continent." Elysia walked over to the table and took out several jumbo boxes from her Space Bag.
In the eyes of the curious girls, it was like a pandora's box filled with many shiny treasures.
And the moment Elysia opened the boxes, all attention was immediately drawn to the contents.
"Is it true we can take some, Ely? We choose it?" Sylvia tapped her chin. She couldn't hide her excitement from her smile.
"Yup, don't be shy. Feel free to take whatever you like. But, please tell me what you took because some of them are magic items." Elysia opened all the boxes and showed her palms there.
"Yay, thank you very much! Then, I won't be shy." Sylvia pranced and started rummaging through each box. She tried to see what caught her attention the most. Ella and Evelyn followed after saying their thanks to Elysia.
"Ji..." Yuuki just stared at the three girls with envious eyes.
As if knowing the meaning of Yuuki's gaze, Elysia beckoned the fox girl to come closer. "You can also take what you like, Yuuki. Why don't you come over and get some?"
"Mm!" Yuuki smiled happily. Her seven tails swayed as if they were dancing to express her feelings.
After a few moments of searching, Sylvia picked up a black garment neatly folded in a transparent wrapper. It was a brand new product that smelled good.
She immediately unwrapped the wrapper to check if the black dress matched her body. However, she gaped in amazement to realize that it was a revealing dress instead!
"Ufufu... Ely, you naughty girl. I know that you are a supermodel of beautiful dresses. However, behind that, you also keep a bad girl's dress like this, hehehe... I like you, nevertheless. Can I have this dress?" Sylvia showed the black dress to Elysia with a mischievous smile.
Elysia's eyes widened to see that. It was a revealing elven dress!
Ella and Evelyn covered their mouth in surprise. The dress was more like lingerie than a dress.
"Wha- it's a dress that my master bought on the Elven Continent. You may not know this, but all female elves wear dresses that aren't much different like that. Please don't choose that, Sylvi, I-" Elysia tried to defend herself, even though she was embarrassed to say it. She didn't even know why that one elven revealing dress went into one of the gift boxes...
Unfortunately, Sylvia dodged Elysia's hand as the latter tried to take the black dress from her. "You've said that, Ely. You can't take what you're about to give away. But, well... Did you wear a dress like this when you were in the Elven Continent? I don't remember any such photo just now."
"I-I disguised as a male elf... I'm too embarrassed to wear a dress like that." Elysia's hand stopped in mid-air. She couldn't hide her blush when she admitted it.
"Oya? I see... So, your master bought some dresses like this for you, Ely? I understand. It turns out that your master is a cultured Goddess. Sometimes, your master wants to see you all sexy and attractive." Sylvia nodded as if she fully understood.
"Hey, I'm still here, and you dare to gossip about me right in front of me? Do you want a teaching from this cultured Goddess, hmm?" Elena smiled as she closed her eyes.
"Oh, Goddess! I forgot you're still here. But, yes, please bless me with your teaching." Sylvia smacked her forehead and immediately knelt down to plead.
"What kind of teaching? You may have the black dress, but you need to try it on in that room. Come with me. And, Ely, you too. The girls, if you wish, you can come too~" Elena stood up with Rhea in her arms. Then, she walked towards Elysia's room.
Elysia gulped her saliva as if she knew what awaited her. Maybe, Elena would force her to wear some sexy dresses. And, the other girls would suffer the same fate!?
Elysia just sighed, put Vanessa on the couch, then followed Elena from behind. Sylvia also went to the room, but with excitement.
Meanwhile, Ella, Evelyn, and Yuuki looked at each other with a puzzled gaze. Even so, they also decided to follow the Goddess of Light into the room.
Only Gio and the little beasts were left in the living room. Gio scratched his head in confusion to watch the girls leave. Nevertheless, he ignored it because it seemed his divine master and the girls just went to the next room.
