Chapter 551 - Some Items To Create
Ariel ordered her subordinates to place four white horses into the front of the carriage. With four trained horses from the Holy Cathedral, that luxurious carriage then left the palace area to go to Lavely Pizza. A squad of holy knights was also there to escort it.
Everyone headed straight for the top floor as they attracted quite a bit of attention. However, Sylvia and Yuuki immediately returned to the third floor to order some dishes.
"Wow, so this is a limited edition menu that isn"t always served like pizza? But burgers, huh... What should I order, hmm?" Sylvia looked at the menu book with some careful thought.
She was eager to order everything, but she wanted at least one special burger from the customer"s choice, namely a custom order.
"Okay, we"ll order everything, ten for each one. And one more thing, one more addition. I"ll take a double, triple bossy deluxe extra plus. Would you please take our orders to the top floor?" Sylvia returned the menu book to the waitress.
"Understood. Then, please excuse me. Your order will be delivered to the top floor soon." The waitress bowed slightly and left in a hurry.
"What did you mention in that last order, Sylvia? That sounds like greed." Yuuki folded her arms in astonishment.
"Don"t sweat it. It"s just something I ordered on a whim. This Lavely Pizza is willing to serve the order even though the request is a bit odd, and that"s a plus point. I don"t even know what to serve for it, but let"s just wait, hehe~" Sylvia rubbed her hands together.
"Well, let"s go upstairs. Everyone"s waiting for us." Yuuki heaved a subtle sigh and left.
"Mkay." Sylvia soon followed.
Moments later, they returned to the top floor.
"We"re back! I"ve already ordered for everyone." Sylvia raised her hand in greeting.
"Mm, welcome back. So, where"s the food?" Nell answered the greeting. She checked the two girls who had just returned, but she couldn"t see any food with them.
"Food?" Vanessa looked up to check as she happened to be near the entrance.
"Hm, we ordered a lot, and everything will be delivered here when our orders are ready. Ah, this is a bit impractical since Ayla isn"t around." Sylvia picked up the white cat by her feet before joining the girls.
At that moment, Rhea tugged Elysia"s dress for attention. "I want to go to the Nature Realm now, Master Elysia. I"d better start making some other magic items. You and Nell can help me modify everything to perfection when everything is ready."
"Hmm? Don"t you want to try our new Lavely Pizza menu?" Elysia looked at Rhea with an offer.
"No, I still felt full from the luncheon at Evroria Palace a while ago. So, is it okay?" Rhea replied with a tender smile.
"Okay then, but you need to tell Nell about this first." Elysia didn"t mind.
"I will also come along to make sure our Rhea doesn"t carry that heavy burden alone. You and Nell can catch up with us later." Elena suddenly joined the private telepathic channel to give a piece of advice.
"Thank you. Everything would go a lot easier then. My mother will also help us, actually." Rhea appreciated Elena"s concern. She then told Nell about their agenda via telepathy.
After that, Elena, Elysia, and Rhea excused themselves before going to Elysia"s bedroom.
Elysia opened the Nature Realm"s portal for Elena and Rhea to enter, closed it again, then returned to the living room.
"Wow, you came back so soon, Ely. I think you need to do something private with the G.o.ddesses. Here, please sit next to me." Sylvia greeted Elysia while patting the seat next to her.
"Mm, we need to do something after this. We also need to make some items later." Elysia went to sit next to Sylvia.
Vanessa then jumped away from Sylvia and lay on her master"s lap.
"Err, what"s with these little beasts? They"re so clingy and docile to you. Not one, but all of them." Sylvia pouted, but her hands seemed to move on their own to caress the white cat.
"Hehe..." Elysia only replied with a small laugh. She also didn"t know why the little beasts were so docile to her. Theo and Leila were also included.
Meanwhile, Prince Theo just stared at Elysia with some thoughts in mind. He had a thousand unanswered questions, but Elysia"s closeness to the G.o.ddesses left him at a loss for words. An intention to build a good and close relationship with this G.o.ddess"s disciple was not as simple as it seemed.
"Do you have any weird ideas about Elysia? She is beyond your reach because she has divine beings as her background." Theo, the brown cat, gave a piece of good advice as he felt it was wrong to let this human prince keep glaring at Elysia.
"Ho? What do you mean by a weird idea? I just wanted to be friends, and I think that"s fine." Prince Theo glanced at the nearby brown cat. He then raised his hand to prove his point. "Hey, Elysia, let"s be friends!""
"Let"s start with an acquaintance." Elysia answered almost instantly.
"..." Prince Theo looked down. He felt like he had just been rejected outright.
"You look gloomy, Prince Theo. I have a little advice for you. Would you like to hear it?" Evelyn spoke in a whisper-like voice as she felt sorry for this prince.
"???" Prince Theo glanced at Evelyn. This princess was actually Elysia"s close friend. So, some info from Evelyn might be helpful. "Hmm, I"m all ears."
"Mn, then wait a moment." Evelyn wrote something down on paper then gave it to Prince Theo. She couldn"t whisper that many details because Prince Theo was across from the sofa.
"Hmm." Theo unfolded the piece of paper and read it silently.
[Something happened in Ely"s childhood. It made her unable to see anyone as a friend easily. If you really want to be Ely"s friend, then it"s not as simple as you ask for it, but you need to prove that you"re not kidding. You know, it"s also not easy for us to be recognized as Ely"s friends...]
"Something happened to Elysia in the past? Something like what? Who were the savages who dared to hurt her and leave her traumatized? So, her past doesn"t seem to be just rainbows and b.u.t.terflies, huh... Something like being betrayed, and it repeats?" Prince Theo folded the piece of paper and put it in his pocket. He looked at Elysia as if he knew something about her more than he could see.
*Knock* *Knock*
There was a sudden knock on the door. Sylvia immediately rushed to open the door because she knew that their order had finally arrived.
"Are these all our orders?" Sylvia pointed her finger at the serving trolly.
"Yes, everything is here." The waitress pointed her palm towards the large serving hood above the serving trolley and the storage door below.
"Okay. Thank you. You can return to your duty now." Sylvia immediately pushed the serving trolley in and closed the door with her tail.
"..." The waitress fell silent in a brief trance because it was her first time meeting a beastkin, and it was a dragonkin.
"Huehehe..." Sylvia opened the hood of the biggest serving because she knew that it was her special order.
"Err... Are you going to eat that? How are you going to eat it if it"s that big? Isn"t it eaten by biting it directly like the customer just now?" Yuuki flinched slightly when Sylvia showed everyone that deluxe thingy burger.
Sylvia ran to the kitchen to wash her hands, then she immediately returned. "I can eat them one at a time. I"ve washed my hands, and now it"s time for me to eat."
"Well, that looks delicious. I"ll order one like that later." Nell picked up a random burger, but her eyes were drawn to Sylvia"s burger.
"Hm? You"ll look like you"re about to eat a mountain of food then. I thought you wanted to keep your image clean." Oceanid tossed a mini burger into his mouth in one go, but he didn"t unwrap it first.
"Well, it feels like paper at first, but it"s pretty tasty afterward." Oceanid commented and took the others.
"You need to unwrap it first, you idiot! See, this is the correct way to eat this kind of food." Oceanid"s avatar unwrapped it and threw it into his mouth at once.
"For some reason, I see that"s the wrong way to eat a burger, but I don"t want to correct them." Elysia took a burger and partially unwrapped it, but she hesitated for a moment because her mouth couldn"t open wide. So she put the burger on a plate and used a knife and fork to eat it.
Some of the others imitated Elysia"s way of eating, but not the little beasts and gluttons.
Having finished with that, Elysia decided it was time to help Rhea and Elena. Thus, she rose from her seat.
Nell got the cue. She then floated up and told everyone. "Looks like Ely and I need to leave immediately to do something that can"t be delayed. We also have some items to create. With that being said, we excuse ourselves. Please be a good boy and a good girl while we"re gone."
"Mm! We will be kind and well-behaved. The Sea G.o.d and the holy knights will be around to keep us out of trouble or harm." Sylvia waved her hand happily. She knew that Elysia and the G.o.ddesses would realize their previous item designs.
After getting a response from everyone, Elysia bowed slightly and followed Nell into her room.. The living room fell into silence for a few seconds after the bedroom door tightly closed.
