Chapter 363: Bad Omen Arrival
"All right, now it"s time for us to go because we have a lot to take care of. Farewell." Elena stood up and walked towards the exit. Vanessa followed right behind like an obedient tiger.
"Hopefully you can lead the fairies to make preparations as we talked about before. Until next time!" Rhea waved her hand before flying to follow Elena.
"Wish you a beautiful day. I expect a lot from Fairy Race." Nell also waved her hand before leaving.
"Eh?" Yralissa and the four fairies with the same fate were stunned for a moment to see the three G.o.ddesses excusing themselves just like that.
"Wha, please wait, before you go-" Yralissa quickly spoke before the G.o.ddesses left.? But, she could only finish her sentence helplessly. "-Please free us from these this golden threads..."
She was too late. The three G.o.ddesses and the winged white tiger suddenly disappeared into thin air right after the exit gate opened.
"Nee, what do we need to do now? The G.o.ddess of Light"s divine magic is truly extraordinary. The five of us can"t even do anything." Alyssum writhed to try to break free, but it was in vain. She could only heave a sigh.
"Yeah, and here we are. Trapped like an insect trapped in a spider"s web and waiting to be eaten." Onyx also sighed because the G.o.ddess of Light forgot to free them before leaving.
After a few sighs from the five fairies, Celes came up with a bright idea. She went to try to bite off the golden threads that were entangling Yralissa.
Unfortunately, the fluffy ball"s attempt failed miserably. She had no power to break any magic thread no matter what she did.
"Sister Elena, are we going to just leave them? They can"t do any preparations for a trap plan or the like if that"s the case." Elysia smiled with amus.e.m.e.nt because of the fluffy ball"s adorable efforts.
"Of course not, I"ve seen enough. I"m satisfied." Elena waved her hand and all the golden threads entangling the five fairies vanished into thin air.
The five fairies fell to the floor as the threads disappeared without any prior notice. Then, Elena flew away with her group.
"Ely, the one over here is done. Let"s switch again." Elena requested when they just got out of the city.
"Hmm, for now, I want to stay here. Until the business with the elves is over, I don"t want to switch, Sister Elena." Elysia refused because a good idea suddenly came to mind.
"Huh, are you serious, Ely? Why? Is there something in particular about it?" Elena was shocked and stopped in midair.
"Not really. Ah, now it"s approaching night. You need to find a place to spend the night as well as dinner. Hehe, I want to try about our shared senses. Hum, hum~" Elysia hummed as she swung her legs alternately over the edge of the bed.
"Oh, because of that. You wanna try the same thing because of me, hmm... Okay, leave it to me. We"ll find a place to stay overnight on the Elven Continent." Elena smiled faintly for Elysia"s reasons.
"It is already dusk. Little one, we go to Elven Continent with your magic carpet. I want to arrive at a suitable place before dinner." Elena turned around and conveyed her orders.
"Uh, why do I feel like a private driver?" Nell complained, but she still took out her magic carpet.
"Hmm, now I remember. Your Private Realm is Firmament Realm, yes? I"ve never seen your Private Realm"s Core. Can you show it to me?" Elena saw Nell"s dimensional portal and became curious right away.
"Huh? Wait, you"re Elena, right? You don"t intend to take mine, do you? You already have a better one there." Nell sat on her magic carpet and pointed to the green necklace around Elena"s neck.
Somehow, she couldn"t calm down just because it was Elena. She preferred Elysia as the one who asked instead of Elena.
"Hey, what"s with that suspicious expression? I"m just curious. I"m not that low to steal your thing." Elena raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction.
"You"re acting a bit strange, Little Nell. Why do you have prejudice against Master Elena?" Rhea sat near her little sister and asked softly.
"Uh, well... My Firmament Realm"s Core is a white bracelet. However, I can only use it as an inner belt because I"m stuck in fairy form." Nell tapped her waist to indicate the position of her Private Realm"s Core. Her big sister also spoke up, and she felt it didn"t make sense not to answer Elena.
"I see... Thank you for letting me know. Next time, I want to see your Firmament Realm." Elena nodded once, then leaned against Vanessa"s body. She stroked the white tiger and received a purr in return.
"Okay." Nell then gave the command to her magic carpet to fly west.
On the way, Elena decided to close her eyes but didn"t sleep. She just talked to Elysia about a lot of things on her mind. However, what she did was seen differently by Nell.
"Elena, h.e.l.lo... Are you sleeping?" Nell flew near Elena"s face, but she received no response. Then, she waved her hand in front of Elena"s face. "Elysia are you there?"
"Hmm? What is this little G.o.ddess trying to accomplish? Hmm, let"s pretend to sleep for a while to find out more." Elena canceled her intention to open her eyes.
"Maybe, Nell just wanted to make sure you were asleep or not. See that, she sat back down with a relieved expression. Apparently, she feels pressured just to be around you, Sister Elena. Why don"t you try being gentler toward Nell?" Elysia pointed the obvious and conveyed a piece of kindness suggestion.
Elena entered the Soul Realm before responding. "That"s good input, Ely. However, I have to reject that for two big reasons. Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes, please. I"m all ears." Elysia just noticed the movements of the person behind her. It was none other than Elena. "Eh? You are already in the Soul Realm, Sister Elena."
"Well, the first reason is because I like to see this little G.o.ddess"s funny behavior every time I play a "little game" with her." Elena raised her index finger with a mischievous smile.
"Oh, hey! Since when did you have a s.a.d.i.s.tic tendency, Sister Elena?" Elysia was taken aback a little at the admission. Even so, she couldn"t help it either. "Well, Nell"s behavior is funny at times. What you did also didn"t cross the line. However, is it okay if it"s like this? We"ll be with Nell for a while, it seems."
"It"s okay, Ely. I guarantee that. Then, these two reasons are the most important." Elena gave a V hand sign to denote the number two.
"And what is it?" Elysia became even more curious. She drew closer to Elena only to hear more clearly.
"It"s because our meeting with that little G.o.ddess wasn"t good. Her att.i.tude doesn"t please me either. I"ve literally lost all my respect for her, the G.o.ddess of Blessings, since that day. After that, your att.i.tude was quite kind and gentle towards her. One needs to act like a dreaded restraint. I don"t want that little G.o.ddess messing around with you for whatever reason, Ely. Do you understand?" Elena put her hand on Elysia"s cheek as she smiled softly.
Elysia suddenly lost her curious expression. It turned into an understanding one. No wonder Elena behaved like that to Nell. Nevertheless, she couldn"t do anything about this either. "En, I understand, Sister Elena. The reason behind your actions runs deep from what is seen. I"m sorry to think something else."
"You don"t have to apologize, Ely. I just wanted to let you know." Elena stroked Elysia"s hair with an affectionate smile.
After that, Elena and Elysia returned to their warm conversation again. Elena took over Elysia"s body again but still pretended to be sleeping because Nell and Rhea were chatting.
"It seems, you are quite stiff around Master Elena, Little Nell? Is there some background between you and Master Elana? You are as cheerful as ever around Elysia, though?" Rhea put her finger to her cheek and tilted her head. She felt confused about Nell"s behavior.
"Uh, well... For some reason, Elena likes to intimidate and bully me. It"s totally different if it"s Elysia. Elysia is such a kind and lovely girl." Nell stole several glances at Elena just to check.
"Bully? What did Master Elena do to you?" Rhea took her little sister"s statement with a pinch of salt. She didn"t think that was the case considering that Elena and Elysia"s att.i.tude toward Nell seemed pretty good.
"Ah, you just don"t know what I was going through, big sister. Elena once wrapped me like a coc.o.o.n, uh correction, it was several times." Nell mentioned things that happened recently.
"Like the five fairies just now?" Rhea nodded in understanding.
"Yes, like them. Apart from that, she also ever-" Nell then mentioned several reasons that made her dissatisfied and afraid of Elena.
On the other hand, Rhea became an excellent listener to hear all of her little sister"s confides and complaints to the end.
When her little sister finished, she smiled softly with a concluding question. "Maybe there is something you don"t know or something that made Master Elena do that. Whatever happens and whatever the reason, do you hate Master Elena?"
"Um, maybe not?" Nell thought for a moment before answering. Even though she doubted her own answer.
"Then, that"s good." Rhea nodded again with a happy expression.
"ROARR!"
At that moment, a loud roar could be heard from afar as if announcing a bad omen to the world. A big explosion occurred, and the ground was flung high into the sky. It was followed by a violent earthquake that shook part of the Fairy Continent once again, just like the incident three days ago.
