Chapter 93: Home Visit
"Huff... Huff... Ely, don"t you feel tired? We"ve all been sparring swordsmanship for four hours, you know?" Evelyn was gasping for breath as she took a breath, she lay on the ground sweating.
"Em? You"re the one who asked until you"re satisfied, right? Look at Ella, she"s... Well, she"s down too."
"Elyyyyy... Is your stamina too much? I"ve only fought Eve eight times, but you"ve already taken turns against us twenty times."
Ella was about to be pointed by Elysia but she immediately collapsed, her legs and arms were sore now. For now, she was only relying on her natural recovery rather than healing magic.
"No, I"m even more fragile than you. Just a very quick recovery, perhaps." Elysia wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief.
"Eve, are you all right? Need a drink?" Ella moved and approached her friend who was lying languidly.
"I"m fine, thanks for asking." Evelyn sat down and took a special drink from her [s.p.a.ce Bag] and drank it.
"My goodness, Eve. Your arm was injured. Was it the blow from the hard sword earlier?" Elysia sat down beside Evelyn, a little worried.
"Aah... I just realized it, too." Evelyn noticed that her left elbow was blistered and slightly bleeding.
"It hurts? Want me to help heal it?"
"No need, Ely. Maybe in a day or two, it"ll get better on its own. Pope"s explanation kind of got me thinking about my lifespan."
"Hehe... It"s not like that, silly. That only applies to serious injuries, organ injuries, serious illnesses, loss of limbs, or something similar. If it"s external, it won"t reduce anything. Don"t worry and don"t be afraid."
"Yes, that"s right. Grandpa only presented hypotheses from studies but not in too much detail. Lifespan and life energy are things we don"t really understand. Here, be a good girl and let me heal you."
"Yes, please." Evelyn finally agreed and brought her wounded hand to her best friend"s delicate hands.
Elysia cleaned the wound first with clean water then applied healing magic until the wound disappeared without a trace from Evelyn"s smooth hands.
"It"s good as new now."
"Why are you saying it like I"m a recently repaired item?" Evelyn puffed her cheeks cutely again.
"Hehe... Let"s get up quickly. it"s four in the afternoon. We need to clean up from all this sweat and go home." Elysia poked Evelyn"s puffed cheek gently and then helped her to her feet, she helped Ella too.
"Already going home? Why not stay overnight? My room is big, the three of us are more than enough to sleep together." Ella had a slightly sour face as she accepted Elysia"s hand to help her up.
Today was so fun for her to be able to share knowledge and play with two girls who have no hidden intentions and have a comfortable and kind aura.
"We need to get back to the dorm room. We don"t feel good with the grandfather, do we, Ely?"
"Yes, maybe another day." Elysia nodded lightly. She will do some further exploration of life energy with Vanessa after this, and staying overnight will hinder her.
"Is that so? Then how about I stay over there? We can take turns making house visits! Can we?"
Elysia and Evelyn looked at each other helplessly, Ella didn"t give up easily and looked at them with pleading eyes. It was hard for them to turn down a pa.s.sionate innocent girl.
"Sure, of course, you can but if you get permission from Granpa." Elysia relented and allowed it but on condition.
"Yes! Of course, when the grandfather comes home I will ask his permission. Now let"s take a shower and wash off this sweat. Then let me introduce my room to you." Ella took the hands of her two juniors and led them back to the house room.
They went to their respective bathrooms there then came out in new dresses with fresh and fragrant bodies. After that, Ella cheerfully dragged them to her room.
"It"s so cute and pretty! Do you like cuddly dolls too, Ella?" Evelyn walked around the large bedroom and then took the biggest doll in the shape of a fish from the bed.
"Hum, yes. It was my birthday gift from my father five months ago. She is Sera, I often hug her to sleep." Ella smiled sweetly then sat on the bed.
"Hi, Sera. I also have a cuddle doll. She is Lila." Evelyn played happily with the cuddle doll.
"Your room is really big. Soft bed the size of six adults, then room eight times the size of ours." Elysia curiously looked here and there at the Holy Church"s princess room.
The color decoration is charming but doesn"t leave a luxurious and holy impression from the combination of white and gold.
"By the way, Ella. You said you had a platinum card? Didn"t the academy grant you a mansion during your school days?" She approached Ella and sat beside her.
"Yes, the academy gave it but my grandfather forbade me to live alone. Since I had the golden privilege card, I never lived in the dorm room." Ella smiled as she piled her hands on her lap.
"Well, your location is quite close to the academy. Maybe you don"t need a mansion or resource packs. Grandfather will guarantee everything for you hehe..."
Evelyn was joking lightly and Ella was giggling too because it couldn"t be any less than true. Her grandfather did give Ella everything she needed, far from what the academy could provide.
"I just remembered, is Deacon cla.s.s today not a challenge whatsoever like other study programs? After lessons from Grandpa, we have lunch together and then play until evening comes." Elysia tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"Fufu... You two definitely didn"t expect it. It"s just for another study group. We get direct training from my grandfather, you can ask whenever you want when he"s happy and not only in the first week. He"s generous." Ella patted her hands merrily.
The three of them chatted for a moment then returned to the main room because Alexander would usually be back around half past five today.
"Hohoho... How was your day, sweet young girls? Look at this, I got a big fish easily because of your blessing. Let"s party with fish for dinner." Alexander returned with a bright face and big smile, he took out a fish almost as big as himself from his [s.p.a.ce Bag].
Not only the three girls were amazed, but a cat who was playing on the sofa also had her eyes sparkling when she saw a big fish.
The three girls immediately cooked the large fish into several different dishes for variety. When the dish is ready, Elysia deliberately leaves some dishes in the kitchen for Vanessa.
They ate together feeling warm and familiar even though two of the four of them had only just joined today. In another part of the dining area, in the kitchen to be more precise, there was a cat eating voraciously the dishes prepared by her master, in camouflage.
"Grandfather, can I stay in the dorm room with Ely and Eve? Pretty please? I"ve never known what a dorm room looks like." After having dinner together, Ella begged her grandfather with an adorable face.
"Yes, sure. You can go straight to the academy tomorrow and come back at noon. I"ll be out early tomorrow." Alexander replied after drinking the warm herbal tea made by his granddaughter.
"Um? Did something happen that you needed to go out early in the morning, grandfather?"
"It"s nothing, I just want to see the city market. They are open early in the morning. Being a fruit or vegetable seller is not a bad thing hahaha..." Alexander brushed his hand lightly at his granddaughter who looked worried.
"Then, thank goodness, we have breakfast for you in the fridge. You can warm it up tomorrow morning, grandfather." Ella let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes, yes."
After cleaning and tidying the dining table, the plates are also clean, and the kitchen is also tidy, the three girls said goodbye to Alexander before leaving from there.
Alexander who was enjoying herbal tea looked towards the three cheerful girls who slowly walked out of the house. This was the first time he had allowed Ella to stay at a place other than the Holy Church.
