Chapter 545 - Drawing Design
"If that's possible, what kind of weapon or magic item would you ever wish to have?" Elysia put a drawing book and a set of drawing tools on the table.
"Is, is it possible, is this a dream come true? We are given a chance to design a weapon of our own choice and determine its special effect? And again, it will be forged by a divine being!?" Sylvia clasped her hands while sorting out one of her thousand dream items in her mind.
"Is, is that true, Ely?" Evelyn widened her eyes as if she couldn't believe that they would get such a privilege.
"It's really marvelous. But, I'm not very good at drawing any complicated designs..." Ella clasped her hands with a glint in her eyes, but her shoulders loosened a moment after.
"Mm, that's right. The Goddess of Nature already gave a hint to all of you beforehand. She will make several weapons, magic items, traps, and formations to deal with the accursed more effectively. At the same time, we also need to be armed with at least one life-saving item." Elysia explained a little with a concealed goal in mind.
To be honest, she previously asked Rhea to help her make some life-saving items for her close friends.
"..." Yuuki had just remembered that she had just received an extraordinary weapon from the Goddess of Nature. Therefore, she was in a dilemma because she also wanted one more. "I also want to..."
"Hmph. Didn't you receive that magical white bow, Yuuki? You've become quite greedy." Sylvia received a piece of paper from Elysia and snorted at Yuuki.
"Moondawn is still with me but, that but... I need to return it one day, right? The Goddess of Nature only lent it to me, it wasn't given to me. So, may I?" Yuuki pressed her fingers together while looking at Elysia with a pitiful look.
"Sure, you're not an exception, Yuuki. Here, take your paper and try to show me what kind of item you've ever wanted to have." Elysia smiled gently. She handed out Yuuki, Ella, and Evelyn a piece of paper.
"Me too?" Vanessa looked at her master, then at the piece of paper in front of her before looking back at her master.
"Of course. You can just make a rough sketch, and I'll do the rest for you. Let me know what you hope to have, Vann. You too, Sir Theo and Lady Leila." Elysia also gave the brown cats a drawing paper.
"Ah, you still use formalities with us sometimes, Elysia. Please call me and my husband with just Leila and Theo." Leila reminded Elysia.
"Oh, um, I understand." Elysia covered her mouth. She sometimes did call these two brown cats with honorific prefixes because of their mature demeanor.
Meanwhile, Gio and Oceanid's avatar had no interest in drawing. The latter only invited the former to play some simple mini-games to fill their spare time.
Meanwhile, Lynn unconsciously made small movements, especially her hands and feet, through nervousness or impatience. She also wanted to get such a privilege, but she wasn't that close to Elysia yet, and she couldn't just ask for it either.
"Here's to you, Lynn. May I know what kind of item you've been dreaming of having? Please pour everything on this paper." Elysia passed the paper to Lynn as if she knew what this soul fox had in mind.
"Me, me too? Is this for real?" Lynn was pleasantly surprised. Even so, she immediately accepted the paper with a sparkling expression.
"Of course. But, there is no mercy for anyone who misuses the item for evil." Elysia raised her index finger to emphasize her point.
"That's for sure, we soul foxes haven't done anything bad. I will never let you and the divine down. Thank you for including me in this opportunity!" Lynn gave a slight bow to express her gratitude.
"Hehe, you're welcome." Elysia smiled and took a pencil to draw the sketch.
'What kind of weapon or item would you like to create, Ely? Wouldn't it be much more practical if you used your imagination magic for everything? We can make a sexy armor for you and some powerful weapons.' Elena asked in surprise from within the Soul Realm.
'Hmm, that might sound great, but it was still something formed by our magic energy. It only lasts temporarily as long as we maintain it. Therefore, we need tangible objects to protect us from harm.' Elysia patted her chin for a moment before starting to draw.
'You're right, Ely. So, do you want to make an extraordinary armor set? Whatever you want to create, it should make you more elegant. I have an idea for you. Do you want to hear it?' Elena offered a creative idea suggestion with enthusiasm.
'Yes, please!' Elysia replied as she appreciated Elena's idea.
After that, a masterpiece design was then drawn onto a paper by Elysia's skillful hand.
"Hm, I guess this isn't too bad. Ely, what do you think about my drawing? Can you understand the deep implication of this?" Sylvia displayed her design with confidence.
"Hm, let me see…" Elysia put down her pencil and looked at the paper in Sylvia's hand. She smiled a little at that.
The picture did look a bit messy, but she could see a girl wearing armor and a long spear.
"Wait, why do I feel like the armor you drew is like a school swimsuit?" Elysia just realized that.
"School swimsuit? I don't know what kind of swimsuit you mean, but I think it gives me more freedom of movement. I also added shoes with greaves. My armor's back is open due to my wings and tail. It also has a circlet and a cool long spear." Sylvia explained the details of her drawing.
"Huh? You really want to ask for a set? You really are more greedy than I ever imagined you would be, Sylvia." Yuuki threw a scathing comment.
"Hey, it's a unit actually. All of this will be stored in an item that can transform into this equipment. So, it's like I transform when I activate the item. I haven't drawn that yet. You'll know about that later when I'm done." Sylvia smiled slyly.
Lynn flinched a little. This demonic dragon girl was quite cunning like her sly mother.
The others then turned to Sylvia's drawing paper, but no one decided to speak or comment.
'Is it possible, is it possible that this is the concept of a kamen rider, power ranger, and ultraman!? You can transform into a superhero with just a small, easy-to-carry item. How can we forget that, Ely! Uhm, we should save our almighty armor set into an item like that later. So, you can be like a magical girl, hehe...' Elena slapped her forehead when she realized that.
'Magical girl in a black robe, six black wings, black wing-like halo? It's even equipped with a black magic wand... I thought it was the design of a black magician or a fallen angel.' Elysia looked at her drawing paper once again. It was the result of her imagination mixed with some suggestions from Elena.
'Hey, it's black with a hint of blue and purple, okay? Wouldn't that be great, Ely? I'll appear like a golden seraphim and you're a dark seraphim. Are we going to look like the twins with two different sides? But, the dark is compassionate, and the golden is a bit aloof. Oh, you can also change the color later with imagination magic.' Elena clasped her hands with sparkling eyes. She couldn't wait to see Elysia transform into a magical girl and appear like an angel of darkness.
'Alright, alright, I understand.' Elysia didn't intend to argue in the first place.
"Nee, Ely, what do you think? I won't know anything if you stay silent like that." Sylvia went over to glance at Elysia's drawing. She was instantly amazed to see the masterpiece on her friend's drawing paper. "Wow, Ely, I finally saw a true masterpiece! You drew yourself as an angel in such detail and it looks real. Could it be that you have a hidden talent as a great illustrator?"
Hearing Sylvia's exclamation of admiration, all the girls immediately glanced at what Elysia drew. They immediately threw a lot of compliments on Elysia before they decided to show her the designs they drew for advice.
"Nee, Ely, you are so talented at drawing. Is this what you call a natural talent?" Evelyn suddenly asked. She felt so happy because her best friend was willing to improve her design.
"I often draw designs in my home world, Eve. I certainly need to go into detail when it comes to mechanics. Is this good enough? You'll look like an elegant magician." Elysia gave the picture to Evelyn.
"Mm, thank you very much, Ely. I really love your design." Evelyn felt very grateful. She was also extremely satisfied with Elysia's drawing.
"I'm next? Please help, Ely." Ella gave her paper to improve her drawing into one that deserves to be called a design.
"And I'm next!" Sylvia raised her hand high.
"Okay, fine. I'll improve your designs. But why does everyone want a set of armor and a signature weapon? Do you all want to be like a magical girl?" Elysia shook her head to look at the details on Ella's and others' papers. They changed some details of their design because of Sylvia.
"Is that not possible?" Ella put her hand on her upper chest with a slight worry on her face.
"It's not like that, everything is fine. If this is one you wish to manifest, then this is your choice." Elysia shook her head with a smile. She then redrew Ella's design.. It was precisely one that resembled a noble holy maiden.
