Chapter 708: Bridge to Divine Support
Yralissa could only gape in shock. She wondered how Celes, the little fluffy ball, acted cheerfully around this beautiful maiden, possibly a nymph.
Celes introduced her to this nymph as a foster family while that nymph was Celes\'s long-lost family? What\'s more, the introduction indicated that this nymph was Celes\'s reborn mother!?
"She reincarnated, and her memory is intact? But why did Celes introduce me as a foster family? Even though it\'s true and undeniable... I think our family relationship is special." Yralissa heaved a sad sigh in her low mumbling.
The Celestial Tree existed in this forest city long before she was born. Her childhood was accompanied by this sacred tree, similar to other fairies. Because of that, even the Fairy Empress treated Celes, the Celestial Tree, as her own family and her elder with an eternal childish phase. Or maybe, her child.
"Mama, mama, look at this. I can make crafts like this with leftover materials. Isn\'t this more beautiful than the tutorial?" Celes showed a miniature tree made of twigs and leaves.
"Yes, you really are a smart child." Lifa gave a head pat to the little fluffy ball.
"Hehe, wait a minute. I have a magic trick that\'s popular among fairies." Celes flew away to grab something.
"..." Yralissa sulked at Celes\' closeness to that nymph. She didn\'t even know that nymph\'s name because Celes just called that nymph mama!
Celes went away for a moment, and Yralissa saw that as an opportunity to ask the nymph in question directly. "Excuse me, I didn\'t mean to be rude or offensive to you. However, are you really Celes\'s reincarnated mother? Why did she say that you were just reborn?"
"Hmm? You seem to have misunderstood something. I didn\'t reincarnate at all. However, hmm, plants are also a race. You are aware of that, right? We are the most chill and friendly race of all, and we have a way of life that is far different from other living beings. Celes was from my seed, and that is the answer to your question." Lifa replied in a soft voice.
"..." Yralissa scratched her head in confusion. That answer was so weird to her ears, but she talked to a nymph, or maybe an elf-like dryad? To be sure, the maiden before her was most likely an avatar of a sacred tree.
"Hmm, does that really bother you? You don\'t need to worry because I won\'t take Celes away from you. Please take good care of Celes, Fairy Empress Yralissa Quifiel. After all, Celes is also a part of your royal family and its descendants. Ah, more than seven thousand years have passed since then, hmm..." Lifa looked up at the blue sky and leaned back with her hands supporting her body.
Yralissa opened her mouth to say something, but she didn\'t because that reply answered many of her questions.
Apart from that, she is more concerned about this maiden\'s real identity. She got some clues, but she still couldn\'t connect all the dots together.
"Oh~ You also want to see my magic trick, Yralissa? No need to worry. You can also see the magic trick that is currently popular among fairies. However, have you gotten along with my mama?" Celes returned with a pile of dry leaves on top of her head.
"Huh-uh? Ah, yes, of course." Yralissa came out of her train of thought. She had a slight suspicion of this green-haired dryad maiden, but the presence of the nearby Goddesses made her throw that thought away.
"Hmm, that little bundle of joy seems to be having fun. I hope she won\'t be too sad when we leave. We can\'t stay here for too long, after all. Her mama is also still recovering." Elena heaved a subtle sigh and took a sip of her plain tea.
"Celes is a sacred tree that is over seven thousand years old. She is actually wiser and more mature than she seems." Elysia muttered softly while glancing at Celes and Lifa.
"That\'s actually pretty sad. However, an unexpected thing happened because the mama\'s fate turned different from her expectations. I guess it was our fault. Hmm, everything just happened, and we can only enjoy it." Elena shrugged her shoulders with a subtle smile and set her cup on the table.
"Hehe, I\'m sure you will all be surprised when we arrive at the Elven Continent." Sylvia covered her mouth while looking at the girls around her.
"May I know why, Sylvi? Have you been there before?" Ella folded her hands on the table with some curiosity.
"Wait, what\'s with that mischievous smile? Is there something weird on the Elven Continent?" Evelyn rested her chin on her palm. She was intrigued to find out more.
"Hehe, no, I\'ve never been to the Elven Continent before. However, I heard that the female elves there are really pitiful. I also want to see what the factual events are like there. Ah~ This is my first visit there." Sylvia made a steeple of her fingers, but she couldn\'t hide her enthusiasm.
"Pitiful? Are female elves mistreated by male elves? Or, hmm... I\'m sure your words have a completely different meaning, the lewd devil. Don\'t think I don\'t know what\'s behind that kind of smile." Yuuki squinted his eyes with suspicion.
"..." Vanessa just facepalmed as she did not want to discuss this topic further. She was sure her master also didn\'t like to discuss this because of embarrassment.
"I heard they can\'t even afford to have full clothes or dresses. Every female elf only wears bikini armor or something like a sexy dress. Doesn\'t that make the female elves there as exhibitionists?" Sylvia rubbed her hands together. She couldn\'t wait to find out what really happened there.
"You pervy Sylvi, I don\'t know what you have in mind. The female elves there admit that they need sunlight and the moon to recover their magic faster. Therefore, female elves tend to be stronger than male elves." Elysia corrected the misunderstanding with a clear statement.
"Hehe, Ely has been there, and she knows more. What do you think about the elves, Ely? That reason still can\'t deny that they have an exhibitionism tendency, right?" Sylvia clasped her hands with a sparkling expression.
"Uh-huh... You\'re probably right." Elysia didn\'t want to argue because she couldn\'t defend the female elves since that was half true.
"You\'re just pervy Sylvi being pervy Silvy." Yuuki simply snorted in disdain.
"Hey, what\'s wrong with that? The elves wouldn\'t mind being seen in public either. Uhm, anyway... When are we going to the Elven Continent? Today or tomorrow?" Sylvia touched her finger together with an awkward smile.
"Let\'s wait for them to finish with their business first. Celes also seems to know that we won\'t be here long, but that won\'t end her fun because her mama has already given her a solution." Elena replied with a hand wave. She glanced at Lifa for a clear indication.
Lifa just nodded as she knew Elena\'s meaning without anyone needing to speak. Actually, she also had to go because she was worried that Celes wouldn\'t let her go the longer she was here.
"Celes, as much as I still want to spend time with you, we still need to go to the Elven Continent to see how they are doing. Hea is also there. We are afraid that a bad situation will befall them due to an anomaly occurring in this continent and its surroundings." Lifa gently stroked the little fluffy ball on her palm.
"Eh? You and everyone else are going, mama? What kind of anomaly is that, if I may ask?" Celes stopped playing and looked up.
"If we are outside the Fairy Continent, we don\'t get any notification regarding the sealed area collapsing. Therefore, we cannot come to help if something worst happens due to the delay in information." Lifa described some of the obstacles they are currently experiencing.
"I see. You\'re also worried that the same thing will happen to the Elven Continent too? Mm, you need to go over there to help Hea too. She must be as excited as I am, hehe. We\'ll see each other again later." Celes didn\'t feel sad at all. She actually felt excited about the upcoming event.
Yet, an idea suddenly crossed his mind regarding the solution to the problem that her mama had just said. "Ah, I just realized. Do you want me to be your informant regarding the collapsed sealed area, mama? I can tell you if the fairies need your and your friends\' help."
"Mm-hmm, we can achieve that easily. In that case, we ask for your help too, Celes. Fairy Empress Yralissa, I want you to share more of your matters and problems with Celes. She is much wiser and smarter than you think. Celestial Tree has been helping your family for generations as a counselor. She is no ordinary little child, in case you forgot." Lifa nodded happily and stated her suggestion to the Fairy Empress.
"I, I understand." Yralissa was fully aware of that. It\'s just that she didn\'t have the heart to trouble the cheerful Celes with many things.
"Hehe, you can rely on me more, Yralissa. I\'m not a little child, so stop treating me like that. Hmph, hmph!" Celes felt happy and proud to receive a compliment from her mama.
"..." Yralissa doubted that statement very much. Seen from any angle, she would always see that Celes was a little bundle of joy.
Lifa then said goodbye to Celes again. To her surprise, Celes acted like a sensible child.
Celes waved her hand at her mama until the divine group disappeared into thin air, no longer visible.
"They\'re gone." Yralissa muttered quietly.
"Yes, they have already left for the Elven Continent. I would like you to report our situation in detail now, Yralissa. Feel free to ask for my help as I will help you as best I can. I can also ask my mama and her God friends for help if needed." Celes looked up a little as if she was puffing out her chest, but she was still a little fluffy ball.
Yralissa smiled in amusement and went to her palace to share many things with Celes. She didn\'t need to ask how Celes could contact that divine group if required. One thing was clear, Celes was a bridge for her to get divine support.
