Chapter 644 - Will You Be Mine?
Chapter 644 - Will You Be Mine?
"I'm back! We successfully completed our mission, and we also came with some extras." Sylvia entered the Nature Realm full of joy and self-satisfaction.
"Welcome back, Sylvi, Vann. Erm, what kind of extra?" Elysia greeted with a smile. Vanessa then jumped into her arms and curled up on her lap, just like a spoiled little pet.
"Hmm, carry on." Elena attached two divine battlesuit bracelets to Elysia's wrist and gave baby Rhea a head pat.
"Hehe, so it's like this." Sylvia then started with the story of her little adventure just now. She tells about the shocking thing she just revealed and several other incidents.
After Sylvia's little adventure story was over, Elysia smiled in amusement to see the picture of Xero's face that Sylvia drew on the paper.
It was more like a cartoon caricature... No one would recognize the Evil God just by this poorly drawn image.
However, it was Sylvia's effort, and it was inappropriate to laugh at it. The most surprising thing right now was Sylvia's new discovery about Earth's power ranking secret.
"Hm, I suspected this before, but Earth is more than limiting, huh... If we use our real power here, then Earth's Gods might only have the strength of a Vrelenian's Master-level expert?" Elysia muttered in wonder.
"Yep, the odds are high. I was up against a Demi-God demon lord earlier, and he's as weak as a peak stage Advanced-level devil. However, you shouldn't forget that they still have the title 'God', Ely. They have some aces up their sleeves to circumvent Earth's restrictions. We haven't actually encountered a God-level being yet here." Sylvia raised her finger for attention.
"That's new knowledge to learn. Did you manage to borrow the dimensional gate?" Elena replied with an approving nod.
"Mm, it's in this Space Bag. So, what kind of scenario are we going to use to send this mothership back to Earth's human realm? I'm afraid Ely needs to explain something to those annoying old men." Sylvia gave a Space Bag to Elysia's master.
"Hm, no need to explain anything. We just need to put this dimensional gate somewhere suitable, and let the espers find this. They've been on duty all night, and we need to give them some credit, right?" Elena checked the contents of the Space Bag with a mischievous smirk.
"En!" Sylvia agreed with that.
"Hm, if Earth really has such a restriction, can the gods here be as strong as you and your disciple in Vrelenia, the Goddess of Light?" Lifa stroked her chin at her rough assumption.
"Who knows? Do you intend to ask the Earth's Gods for help to eradicate the accursed creatures? It's not a smart move since changing worlds is a big risk which is still unclear here. Also, Earth's Gods are not very generous and tend to be selfish. They can't even solve the problems of their world, let alone the other world." Elena shook her head.
"You say that, but you were one of them, right?" Lifa tilted her head. She felt that the background of this 'two-in-one' Goddess was more complicated than she could have imagined.
"No, we never got involved with them. We couldn't understand that either. There was a gap of two years from then on... When we were thrown into another world. We had thought there was interference from Vrelenia's God, but you even don't know anything. Maybe, we can get a clue from the Earth God, or maybe the God King in heaven?" Elena patted her cheek and looked up.
"Hmm..." Lifa thought for a moment, but she decided to put that thought aside. Elena and Elysia's situation remained a mystery. Still, she couldn't do much because Elena didn't seem willing to bring it up too deep. "Well, I don't really know anything, and there aren't many Vrelenia's Gods. Let's find out with the Earth's God King when the opportunity comes. No rush."
"Hum-mm~" Sylvia didn't really listen to the Goddesses' conversation. She just stared at Elysia with a look full of expectations.
"Is the sky turning red outside? It's morning already? Want a special breakfast portion? Tell me what you want, and I'll make it for you." Elysia smiled in amusement.
"Yeah, yeah! I want a few things, actually. But let's go to our portable kitchen first." Sylvia rubbed her hands together. She couldn't wait to enjoy an Elysia-style hearty breakfast.
"Me too, me too!" Vanessa raised her hand high.
"Hm, alright. Let's get out of here first. We're going to cook something outside. Are you going to be here or are you coming with us out?" Elysia asked the three girls beside her.
"I'll always be with you, no more questions needed." Elena smiled faintly.
"Fwaahh..." Rhea yawned as sleepiness overtook her. She just couldn't help it.
Elysia covered Rhea's mouth with her palm reflexively. "Hm, looks like you're sleepy. Would you like to sleep here first, the Goddess of Nature?"
"Mm, I will sleep here with my mother. I want to spend some time with her too. Is that okay?" Rhea looked at Elysia's face.
Elysia only gave approval just because of that cute baby face. "Sure, let us know if you need anything. But, are you okay without breakfast?"
"Nothing for now." Rhea shook her head and rubbed her eyes. She then spread her arms towards Elysia.
"Hmm?" Elysia didn't know what Rhea wanted to do, but she carried Rhea because that gesture prompted her to do it.
*Chu*
Rhea kissed Elysia's cheek. She then looked aside and did the same to Elena.
"Please tell us when you will open the dimensional gate to the human realm just in case. Bye-bye." Rhea waved her hand with a satisfied smile. She immediately gave a gesture to her mother to pick her up from Elysia's arms.
"Uh-huh?" Elysia touched her cheek. She never expected Rhea to do that, and she blushed a little at that.
"Well, a naughty baby. See you in a few hours~" Elena ruffled Rhea's hair with a tender smile.
"Hehe..." Rhea straightened her hair again and closed her eyes in her mother's arms.
Elena, Elysia, and the others said goodbye to Lifa before leaving the Nature Realm.
"Well, well, you've grown attached to Elysia and Elena now? You're quick to blend in and adapt." Lifa chuckled as she looked at her baby girl.
"Mm, they are my loved ones, my everything, my life..." Rhea muttered in a mosquito-like voice.
"Eh? Then how do you view this old mother?" Lifa widened her eyes as if she were surprised, but her smile said something different.
"You are my mother, my loved one also." Rhea changed her sleeping position and buried her face into her mother's soft twin mountain.
"..." Lifa didn't say anything else and just ran her hand through her baby girl's hair.
She wanted to talk about a few things about Elena and Elysia, but it seemed she needed to postpone it.
Meanwhile, Elysia was making breakfast without leaving that bedroom, thanks to the portable kitchen. After thirty minutes of dealing with spices and ingredients, seven appetizing menus were ready to be served.
"Yummy~ Ely, doesn't your master want to have breakfast with us? She said she would always be with you, but she disappeared somewhere." Sylvia licked her lips and wiped her drool.
"My master is still here, though? But, she seems quite tired from just repairing our divine battlesuits. The damage was quite severe, but it was surprisingly repaired in just four hours." Elysia smiled and checked Elena's state in her Soul Realm. Elena had fallen asleep on the comfy bed, hugging her spirit.
"Hm, all right. Did you leave some for Erina and Mio, Ely?" Sylvia glanced at the two servings of breakfast near the stove.
"Mm, they probably haven't had breakfast either. We'll have breakfast first since they haven't woken up yet." Elysia checked the situation outside the bedroom with her advanced perception to confirm it.
Vanessa put her little paws together to mimic Elysia's movements. "Have a nice meal."
"Alright then, let's have breakfast first. Have a nice meal!" Sylvia put her hands together to follow Elysia's table manner. After that, she enjoyed her delicious breakfast. "Mm~ Aah~ As I thought, Ely... You seem to be a Divine Chef? Your cooking is truly heavenly."
"Hehe thank you." Elysia just smiled and ate her breakfast. She only ate one serving, but the devil and the cat over there were three big servings.
"I won't let you be taken by outsiders." Sylvia muttered under her breath.
"Hmm?" Elysia seemed to hear Sylvia's muttering, but she wasn't quite sure what it was. She looked at Sylvia curiously, but she only received a sweet smile instead.
After they finished their breakfast, Elysia tidied the portable kitchen before leaving the bedroom.
Victor was still sleeping like a dead bird, Mio was asleep on the sofa, and Erina was in the bathroom.
"Ely, I think I need to take a shower first. Last night's little adventure made me a little uncomfortable, especially in this white uniform. I want to wear my black devil dress again." Sylvia checked her white uniform, then compared it to Elysia's white dress.
"Sure, I'll be waiting for you in the living room. Would you like a shower too, Vann?" Elysia stroked the lazy cat in her arms.
Vanessa shook her head repeatedly. She had already received a cleansing from her master's magic, so bathing was no longer necessary.
"Okay…" Sylvia waved her hand and went to the bathroom.
At the same time, Erina just came out of there. "Ah, good morning, Sylvia-san."
"Hmm." Sylvia just nodded and went into the bathroom.
"???" Erina tilted her head in confusion and went over to Elysia. "Good morning, Elysia-san. Did you sleep well? Thank goodness there were no problems last night. It was all thanks to your protective talismans."
"Hehe, that's a good thing. Have you had breakfast, Erina-san? I just made breakfast for you and Mio-san." Elysia pointed her hand at the two breakfast tables.
"Wow, it smells delicious. You just made it, Elysia-san?" Erina wondered when and where Elysia made this dish, but it didn't really matter.
"Yup. Enjoy. Sylvi and I just had breakfast." Elysia sat near Victor and invited Erina.
Erina certainly didn't refuse, especially since she did feel hungry, and she trusted Elysia. After saying hello, she ate her breakfast.
At that very second, she widened her eyes. It was clearly just a rice bowl with a golden curry on top. However, the taste was one that she could not find anywhere, not even from the best chef she had ever known in her life.
The smell was divine, and the taste was heavenly. Erina felt as if she had been flown above a comfortable soft cloud, only to be dropped back into reality when her bowl was empty.
"Elysia-san, will you be mine?" Erina poured out what she had inside excitedly.
"Eh?" Elysia was stunned. She felt that Erina was mispronouncing here.
