Chapter 521 - Eaux Sea
Chapter 521 - Eaux Sea
"Let me taste it, let me taste it. Aaaaa!" Sylvia squirmed to try to devour what was thrust at her.
"There\'s no chance, yum~" Yuuki put the croquette in her mouth and smiled mockingly at the devil girl.
"Yuuki, I\'ll avenge you tomorrow! If it wasn\'t for Ely, I would have definitely broken free from here and pushed you down." Sylvia grumbled and gritted her teeth.
"Hehe, that won\'t happen since Ely is by my side for this. Do you want to give it a try?" Yuuki offered a warm fish nugget with an innocent expression.
"Hmph! I won\'t eat your bait and let you fool me again." Sylvia snorted and turned her face to the side.
"Oh, is that so? I actually intended to give you this last one out of pity for you. If you don\'t want to, then fine. Let me eat it for you, yum~" Yukki shrugged her shoulders and ate the last nugget.
"Eh? Ahem, I don\'t need your pity or sympathy, but I do allow you to offer me some nuggets." Sylvia cleared her throat and asked the offer back without any shame.
"Here it comes, say aah~" Yuuki took something from her plate with chopsticks.
"Aah~" Sylvia opened her mouth with a happy expression. Maybe, her punishment for fasting until tomorrow received a waiver?
However, Yuuki just grabbed a piece of empty air with her chopsticks and exposed her empty plate. "Unfortunately, there\'s nothing left and neither is what\'s on the dining table. Hum, hum, mm~ With that being said, our fox girl will be back soon with lots of interesting things."
After saying that, Yuuki immediately fled with small steps and left the dumbfounded Sylvia behind.
"Yuuki!!!" Sylvia just shouted in annoyance.
Meanwhile, Elysia and the others were just watching it in amusement. Not because they were happy to see Sylvia being bullied by Yuuki, but because the exchange between the fox girl and the devil girl looked adorable.
"Don\'t they seem to get along and get along well? Behind their little bickering, there\'s actually a close relationship that exists. Like playmates." Elena smiled and took a sip of the orange juice in Elysia\'s hand with a straw.
"Mm." Elysia just nodded and then drank her orange juice. However, she only sucked in empty air. Her orange juice had run out, and the culprit just smiled mischievously.
"So, what are you going to do, Ely? Are you just going to let Sylvia be punished like that by Yuuki. It looks like Yuuki is just messing around to bully Sylvia." Elena pointed her palm at Yuuki and Sylvia. They were having a small fight of words.
"Hum, if that\'s what was expected to happen, and Sylvia deserves it for what she did, then I won\'t be defending anyone. The punishment will only last until tomorrow morning. Sylvia will know that there is cause and effect behind every action she will take." Elysia shook her head and put her glass on the table with a soft sigh.
"Similar to the punishment she often received from her father? I don\'t think it will ever deter her. She will only become more stubborn because of it." Elena questioned that with a clueless expression.
"No, none of us will inflict corporal punishment on her like what her father did. You know what will happen after this, master." Elysia smiled sweetly at the end of her words.
"Is that so? Fufufu..." Elena didn\'t ask anymore because she already knew what might happen.
"Uhm, so, are we going to leave after this?" Evelyn raised her hand to ask.
"Mm, we will go to help my poor avatars. After that, we will visit the Soul Fox on the Beastkin Continent for an urgent matter regarding the sealed area within the island I sealed under the sea." Oceanid gave a confirmation as if everything was under control.
"A God-level accursed monster, huh... That\'s what we encountered on this initial journey. Hopefully everything will be fine." Ella clasped her hands while gazing out to the north sea.
"Are you scared, Ella, Eve? We\'ll probably meet the accursed monsters and devils, then the Evil God too." Elysia asked curiously. She wanted to know what her friends had in mind.
"I\'m a little scared, but I\'ll get used to this considering we\'re with divine beings. I hope I can help with something, but I\'m just a weak and helpless little girl. Sometimes, I wish that I could be as strong as you, Ely. I can help our group and many people." Ella looked down in self-deprecation.
"Hm, please forgive us that we can\'t help with anything meaningful. Anxiety and worry are present, but actually our fears also come from there. I hope to become stronger soon. By being here, I feel that what I thought was great is still too small to compare." Evelyn glanced at the divine beings, then at her best friend.
"Let\'s ignore everything else and assume you are just yourself. Do you wish to become stronger?" Rhea suddenly asked with a neutral expression.
"I want to become stronger." Evelyn and Ella answered in unison as if they had the same thought.
"Then prove your credibility." Rhea answered with implied meaning.
Evelyn and Ella were slightly dumbfounded and confused. They had no idea what they needed to prove to become stronger.
"You don\'t understand what I mean?" Rhea seemed to know what these two girls had in mind.
Ella and Evelyn shook their heads in response.
"Please forgive our ignorance for failing to understand the meaning of your words." Ella apologized politely and respectfully.
"Your Goddess is actually the Goddess of Blessings. Her blessing magic is not as simple as what the mortals might imagine. You may be appointed as her angel very soon. All you need to do is ask her for enlightenment and direction. You need to talk to her about it, and prove yourself to her while the opportunity is there... Especially you Gabriella Celestine. You have two years for that." Rhea provided a more detailed and easy-to-understand explanation. She looked at Ella at the end of her words.
"I understand and understand." Evelyn nodded in understanding.
However, Ella was wide-eyed in astonishment. She did not understand why she was declared to have two years for it.
Was there something terrible that might be waiting for her if she passed that time limit? The story of the girl born into her family came to mind at that very moment.
Therefore, Ella just nodded in understanding and clasped her hands with her eyes closed. She sent her prayers to the Goddess of Blessings even though she knew the Goddess in question was nearby.
Moments later, Oceanid felt it was time for them to leave. However, he was worried about his saviors\' condition. "Ahem, maybe it\'s time for us to go. However, how are you guys doing, o saviors?"
Elena looked at Elysia and answered casually. "Hmm, we\'re in good shape."
"Shall we go now? We can go east for that and rest at sunset. I hope things go faster than expected." Elysia looked up at the sky.
"I also hope that everything can run smoothly and be completed faster than expected." Oceanid did not expect his savior to know that they were going east. Yet, he still felt it was unfair to be on the receiving end. Thus, he decided to make a suggestion. "Before that, let\'s go to the Eaux Sea."
"Eaux Sea? What are we going to do there? Are your contaminated avatars there?" Elena asked curiously.
"No. I want to harvest some Luminous Sacred Pearls just in case you receive any backlash." Oceanid shook his head.
"Oh, you are so considerate. Thank you." Elena smiled slightly and then gave an eye signal to Elysia.
Elysia just nodded in understanding and stood up from her seat. She waved her hand high. "Yuuki, Sylvi, we\'re leaving soon. Let\'s tidy this up and we\'ll be off."
"Grrr... Oh, okay. I\'m coming!" Sylvia changed her furious expression to a cheerful one in an instant.
"We\'re coming~" Yuuki replied playfully. She then carried Sylvia\'s futon roll away.
"Hey, what are you doing? Wouldn\'t it be easier if I got out of here?" Sylvia frowned.
"No chance. You can only get out of there tomorrow morning or you\'ll make Ely mad. You just have to enjoy the ride." Yuuki simply refused and put Sylvia back on the ground. She then helped the girls to tidy up everything and put the wooden house into her Space Bag.
After everything was neatly stored without anything being left behind, they all immediately flew off into the northeast sea on Nell\'s magic carpet.
"Err... Is that the Eaux Sea? Where\'s the Luminous Sacred Pearl you\'re referring to?" Nell asked when Oceanid asked to stop. It was just an ordinary turquoise sea with no other uniqueness, even though she had scanned it several times.
"Hehe, it\'s not that easy to find those treasures. I was the one who cultivated them, you know. Let me show you how to harvest them. Follow me." Oceanid chuckled then jumped into the turquoise sea.
Nell just shrugged her shoulders and followed closely behind.
As the guide, Oceanid immediately guides everyone to go straight to the bottom of the sea. He then went into a hidden trough and passed several underwater caves.
At a depth of two kilometers under the sea, a gleaming field greeted them with a sparkle that dazzled everyone\'s eyes.
Ridiculously, a big sign was there in bold but eye-catching handwriting, "only look, don\'t touch or approach".
Nevertheless, everyone\'s attention was more focused on the sparkling plants and shiny objects.
