Chapter 768: Talk to Nature (1)
After a few minutes passed, Kenji woke up from his coma.
Mitsuzuka told Kenji a few things, and the latter immediately expressed his gratitude to Elysia for saving himself and his daughter.
"Glad to see that you have regained consciousness, Sir Kenji. However, it seems I need to take a short leave to attend to some matters first. You and Erina-san should be treated in the same room. And to everyone, please don\'t give anyone too much detail about what just happened or my identity." Elysia smiled and reminded everyone in the room.
"I can understand your request. You made this room soundproof for the same reason. But where are you going? It\'s still stormy outside." Mitsuzuka nodded in understanding, but he couldn\'t just let Elysia go when it was so unsafe outside.
"I\'ll be back in a bit. You don\'t have to worry, Sir Mitsuzuka. Well then, see you later~" Elysia waved her hand and went into the living room. Xero immediately followed her.
*Bzzt*
Elysia took Xero away by teleportation. Erina\'s urgent matter had been resolved, and now was the time to take care of much more serious matters.
"???" Mitsuzuka and his bodyguards immediately checked into the guest room next door.
The room was only separated by a wall from the treatment room. Still, Elysia and that white-haired boy had disappeared without a trace.
"How do they go? They come and go so mysteriously..." Mitsuzuka wondered as he looked around the room. Elysia and that boy were no longer in the room.
Unfortunately, there are no surveillance cameras or the like. So, how Elysia came and went remained a mystery.
"Grandfather? Did Elysia-san leave right away?" Erina asked in confusion, but there was a hint of loss and sadness on her face. She would appreciate it if Elysia stayed longer because she had not correctly thanked her friend yet.
"Yeah, she and that boy are no longer in this room with us. However, she said that she would be back in a moment." Mitsuzuka returned to the treatment room and stared at the window. The sound of the storm gradually returned, although it was pretty muffled by the room\'s soundproofing system.
*Clack*
The door opened, and the old doctor entered, much calmer than before. She looked around the room, but she couldn\'t find the whereabouts of the impolite girl earlier.
"What are you doing here again, Ishimoto Utzuki? If you forget your manners again, just let your disciples do the work." Mitsuzuka said with just basic politeness, but he sounded dissatisfied.
"My apologies for my impoliteness earlier. The news about Minamoto Erina\'s sudden recovery really made me widen in surprise. She- Oh my goodness..." Utzuki covered her mouth in shock when she saw the bare-chested man on the bed.
This man was supposed to be in a much worse condition than Erina. He was diagnosed with a long coma and permanent disability even after the best treatment. However, this man looked fine, as if the previous critical condition never happened. The body parts that had become gold had even turned back into flesh!
Utzuki looked at her disciples questioningly. She didn\'t check on Kenji and Erina\'s situation in person. Still, she felt that the reports she had received had been exaggerated as these two patients seemed fine now.
The doctors at the doorstep immediately explained the patient\'s situation with various evidence. They managed to convince their master about Kenji and Erina\'s circumstances, but these two patients\' sudden recovery remained a mystery.
Unfortunately, Utzuki could not do as he pleased to ask for explanations and information because there was another Grandmaster, namely Mitsuzuka. Therefore, she could only deal with him, but he handled everything calmly.
"So, it\'s because of that impolite girl\'s help, huh... Is she a deity? It\'s impossible to achieve this feat in a matter of minutes." Utzuki put her hand to her chin. She was able to draw a conclusion.
"She has every reason to be rude to you. You\'d better apologize the next time you see her." Mitsuzuka folded her arms. For some reason, his words reminded him of the event where he was rude to Elysia at their first meeting. Luckily, he apologized, and they reconciled.
He then asked the doctors to send a nursing bed for his granddaughter as she would be treated in this room with his son.
"..." Utzuki stayed silent and rechecked Kenji and Erina\'s condition.
She couldn\'t detect any abnormality or disease in their bodies. To be honest, they could be called too healthy! They just don\'t have the energy because of post-healing.
Meanwhile, Elysia had just teleported to the roof of the hospital. The rainstorm still hit, but no raindrops fell on her because of her barrier.
"Natural disasters and pandemics... Chaos in the world. Nature is angry for a reason. Perhaps, a greater catastrophe will soon occur to remind humans of their sin. Nature has the right to be angry when the Earth Mother is hurt. Who has hurt you, and how can I help you? If you can hear me, please answer me." Elysia spread her arms and asked towards the sky. She hoped that Earth Mother would answer her, but a few seconds passed, and there was no response whatsoever.
Seeing that, Rhea emerged herself into the real world. The turquoise bracelet on Elysia\'s forearm disappeared, and Rhea appeared beside Elysia.
\'Master Elysia, nature is indeed furious. Probably because the humans and some deities committed a grave sin because of that God Game. We don\'t know what truly happened, but nature never lies. Earth Mother doesn\'t seem to be able to talk to you yet, but we can do something else to find out the truth.\' Rhea held Elysia\'s arm and gave her the best advice.
\'What\'s your plan, Rhea? I\'m at my wit\'s end because Earth Mother doesn\'t seem to be in a good state. She was injured, and the humans committed a grave sin and started to fight against each other. What do we need to do?\' Elysia heaved a subtle sigh. She didn\'t know what to do so she could talk to Earth Mother for the truth.
\'Let\'s appease nature\'s anger and let them know we are here to help. After that, we can talk to nature spirits in peace.\' Rhea looked up at the sky sadly. She could feel that nature was angry, but it also came with immense sadness.
She was sure the rainstorm that was happening right now covered a vast area. If this ferocious rainstorm expressed nature\'s weeping, then she couldn\'t just stand still.
\'We will follow your plan. Let\'s discuss the details after we do a mind sync to make things easier.\' Elysia agreed with Rhea\'s suggestion, and so did Elena.
\'Mm, let\'s sync our minds.\' Rhea was feeling excited.
Elysia grabbed Rhea\'s shoulders, and they stood facing each other. She lowered her head slightly, touched Rhea\'s cheeks with her hands, then brought her face close until their foreheads were pressed together.
Elysia and Rhea closed their eyes. The former sent a connection for mind sync, and the latter received the incoming energy gladly,
\'What the hck are they doing? Did they want to kiss or... No, was that something Elysia said to me earlier? Err, what\'s that called? Shared processing? Yes, that\'s it!\' Xero scratched his head as the atmosphere suddenly became awkward for him.
As Elysia synced her mind with Rhea, she opened her eyes and let go of Rhea\'s cheek. When she took some distance, she was pretty mesmerized by the lovely blush on Rhea\'s face.
\'Mm, all right. We better move as soon as possible now. Please put on your divine battlesuit, Master Elysia. It will really help us to communicate with nature.\' Rhea summoned her battlesuit. The wings tattoo on her smooth back revealed itself and glowed. Six beautiful turquoise wings appeared a moment later.
\'Okay.\' Elysia immediately summoned her fallen angel battlesuit. Before they left, she didn\'t forget to tell Xero about their plans. \'We will go to the sky to calm nature and talk to nature spirits. You can wait for us here for a moment.\'
\'Oh, so that\'s what you guys were talking about in private? All right, I\'ll wait here. Do what you think needs to be done and let me know the results later.\' Xero lowered his stance. he thought Rhea and Elysia summoned their battle suit due to an impromptu threat, but his guess was wrong.
\'Okay.\' Elysia waved her hand and soared into the sky through the storm clouds with Rhea.
"..." Xero watched the two girls fly away and disappear behind the storm clouds. He then looked to the right and left.
A white chair was flying in the wind, and he pulled it towards himself with magic.
He used the chair to sit back and relax while waiting for Elysia and Rhea to finish their business. Elysia\'s barrier was still there, so he could enjoy the rain without worry.
"Are you ready? Come sing a melody with me. The spirit of nature will understand our expression and purpose." Rhea held Elysia\'s hand while sending some information through their mind sync.
"Let\'s do it." Elysia nodded in agreement.
They then stretched their arms forward and began to sing a beautiful melody with a particular frequency that not everyone could hear.
The thunder sprites in the storm clouds slowly died down as the intensity of the rain fell. Earthquakes on distant lands stopped suddenly, and the floods in various areas slowly receded.
Nature\'s wrath subsided because Elysia and Rhea\'s song was heard, and nature was willing to talk about the world\'s circumstances. Elysia and Rhea then ended their melodic song.
"..." Rhea put her hand on her upper chest and stretched her other hand forward with her palm up.
Thousands of tiny invisible particles gathered there, forming a dense but springy ball of air. A small entity resembling a transparent wind slime emerged on Rhea\'s hand.
