BXBX NOVEL Chapter 785: I am the Danger
Chapter 785: I am the Danger
"Please let me in, let me in!" A man in a neat gray suit tried to break into the Minamoto Clan\'s mansion, but the guards restrained him swiftly.
"My apologies, sir. No one from outside is allowed to visit under any circumstances." One of the guards pushed the man out before closing the gate.
"If so, why did you allow people in that car to visit? I\'m the manager of Erina-sama\'s agency. I must see her immediately!" The manager got a bit panicked and worried for so many reasons.
"Oh, Angelic Diva\'s Agency, right? The person in that white car is a medical expert, and she\'s not an outsider. If you come just for Ojou-sama\'s work-related matters, you must wait until she recovers and is ready to see people. For now, please go." One of the guards pointed his hand towards the front.
"Ugh, alright. I\'ll come again tonight and tomorrow morning. I wish Erina-sama\'s recovery soon." The manager swallowed his complaint and went back to his car.
"Hm? Ely, there was someone who tried to barge in just after seeing us enter here." Evelyn looked back to find out what was going on there.
"It\'s okay. He doesn\'t concern us." Elysia looked in the rearview mirror, but she just shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh, okay. Uuh, I\'m feeling a bit nervous right now because Erina\'s family seems to be in a rather complicated situation." Evelyn rubbed her hands together.
"You\'ll probably forget about the nervousness when we meet Erina. Yes, we\'re here. Let\'s get out of the car, Eve." Elysia parked her car in the car park near the front door.
Evelyn immediately got out of the car, following Elysia into the mansion through the front door. Two guards in black suits next to the entrance opened the door for them.
"Ellie, here~" Erina waved her hand with a bright smile from the living room.
"Hi, here we come." Elysia waved her hand in reply. She found it a bit odd that she couldn\'t find Erina\'s wheelchair anywhere, but she didn\'t linger on it and went into the living room.
However, Erina suddenly tried to stand up. She staggered a bit, but she managed to do it nevertheless.
"Wha, please don\'t push yourself, or your recovery will take longer than expected. That\'s at least a day or two of rest time where your body shouldn\'t be carrying much burden." Elysia immediately helped Erina to sit back down.
"Hm? Are you trying to imply that I\'m heavy, Ellie? I\'ve always been on a healthy diet and am light enough to maintain my ideal figure..." Erina pouted a little.
"Your legs need to support your weight when you stand up. Won\'t you listen to my advice and be a good girl?" Elysia shook her head and sat on the other sofa with Evelyn.
"Forgive me." Erina apologized sincerely. She knew her friend\'s care, and concern was for her own good. However, she was happy because Elysia had come to visit her, so her plan for tomorrow morning might be canceled.
"Well, it\'s okay. I can see your great improvement from the last time we met. Please take good care of yourself, and everything will return to normal soon." Elysia nodded slightly.
"..." Erina then glanced at the blonde-haired girl next to Elysia. Even though this girl wore a mask, she knew this Elysia\'s friend was an elegant and charming girl. "Is the lady next to you your friend, Ellie? Can you introduce her to me?"
"Sure, she is my dormmate, I mean my friend, Eve." Elysia gave a signal to Evelyn to take off the mask.
Evelyn took off her mask and made a brief, polite introduction. "It\'s a pleasure to meet you, Minamoto Erina-sana. My given name is Evelyn, and my surname is Mitchell. I\'ve heard many great things about you from Ely, and now I can meet you in person."
"The pleasure is mine, Mitchell Evelyn-san. This may be just out of curiosity, but do you come from the same country as Ellie?" Erina was amazed by Evelyn\'s charm for a moment.
She was wondering about Elysia\'s circle of friends now. Previously the mysterious Sylvia, this girl with the charm of a royal princess.
"Why do you ask such a thing?" Evelyn grasped her hand and placed it on her lap.
"You exude the aura of a royal princess. Are you perhaps from England?" Erina heaved a subtle sigh.
"England? I\'m not from there." Evelyn shook her head.
"Phew..." Elysia felt relieved that Evelyn didn\'t leak information like the things at the academy. However, something else crossed his mind. "Did something happen to you and England, Erina? Ah, this reminds me of Victor and the British Elite Squad. Do you know what happened to them after my departure?"
"Victoria? She left and was never seen again after that day. The British Elite Squad also returned to their country after making a formal apology and clarification to us." Erina shook her head.
She knew that Demi-God spirit bird would just stay for a while. Her family would not allow that bird to remain around her for long either.
"I see, so she returns to her nation." Elysia nodded in understanding.
"Anyway, why did you say that your arrival this time was a formal visit, Ellie? Is there anything I may know?" Erin was curious.
"Mm, that would be easier for me to explain in your grandfather\'s presence. Can I see him?" Elysia glanced in a direction. She could find the person she was looking for was in a room, busy with something.
"All right. Mio." Erina glanced at Mio.
"Affirmative." Mio bowed slightly and turned around. She hurried off to the second floor to inform the patriarch of Elysia\'s arrival.
"My grandfather will be here in a few seconds. Nee, Ellie... What happened to Sylvia-san? She didn\'t come with you?" Erina felt a bit strange. She thought Sylvia was Elysia\'s private bodyguard.
"She came with me but is on a mission now." Elysia answered succinctly.
"Hehe~" Evelyn suddenly drew herself closer to Elysia and started a cheerful conversation with enthusiasm. "Nee, Erina, can I call you that?"
"Eh, well, um..." Erina hesitated a bit, but she nodded.
Evelyn then opened a light conversation regarding things she wanted to know from Erina and vice versa. These two girls were trying to dig up specific information between each other.
"Ah, you are beautiful, good at singing and playing music. You must be a bit troubled by your fans, but that proves that many people love you." Evelyn put her hands together.
"Fufu, you make me feel embarrassed, Evelyn. You also have your own problems as a gifted princess. But that\'s what we call the dawn of life." Erina chuckled and covered her mouth with her hand.
"But, fufu... Your encounter with Ely is a bit awkward and funny. You\'re lucky that Ely isn\'t vindictive because you returned the favor with a rude act at that time." Evelyn heaved a subtle sigh.
"Yes, how unbecoming of us. It was a misunderstanding on our part. Before we apologized to Ellie, Mio and I had already pondered over that event. Don\'t you agree that our meeting was predestined?" Erina shook her head with a faint smile.
"..." Elysia remained silent and just listened to these two girls talking about her even though they knew she was still there.
When Erina\'s grandfather came into view, she felt relieved that she could get things done soon.
"Good day to you, Sir Mitsuzuka. Am I interrupting your busy time?" Elysia greeted while standing up.
Mitsuzuka\'s arrival made Erina and Evelyn end their light conversation.
"Haha, no, no. Your arrival will always be welcomed by us, Elysia. Hm, you came with another mysterious girl. May you introduce her to me?" Mitsuzuka pointed his palm at the girl next to Elysia.
"Yes, she is my friend, Evelyn." Elysia introduced her friend.
"Delighted to make your acquaintance." Evelyn also stood up and greeted.
"...Good, please have a seat." There was a few seconds of pause before Mitsuzuka sat on the sofa. He could sense that Evelyn was an ability user too, but not as strong as Sylvia.
Despite that, he still wondered what kind of background Elysia had. This girl was so mysterious and powerful. There was no meaningful information regarding her even until today.
"Then, did something happen to bring you here under the pretext of a formal visit? You may come without making any such excuses." Mitsuzuka sighed and got straight to the point. He didn\'t understand what kind of thing Elysia wanted to achieve.
"That\'s because I took the prey mental marker from Erina. Currently, around a thousand ability users and sixty influential experts are after my life because of an evil bounty. I shall lure them out before we will eliminate them.
Anyway, my current goal is for something else. I know the Minamoto Clan has strong connections to the Alchemy Association and the World Health Organization. They are not bound by any government or sovereignty because they are globally privileged organizations. I want to form a cooperation with them." Elysia immediately explained the situation and continued with her current goal.
Mitsuzuka, Erina, Mio, and several experts around gasped in shock. Elysia\'s first half explanation was surprising enough. However, the sequel made them wonder what Elysia would do by involving multiple giant organizations.
"A thousand, a thousand bad guys and sixty powerful killers!? Ellie, your life is in danger, and you\'re still acting calm? It\'s okay, I\'ll protect you from them. I won\'t let them hurt you." Erina leaned her body forward as she made her bold statement.
"Fufu, please relax. You don\'t have to worry, Erina. I told you before, right? I\'m not in danger, but I am the danger." Elysia gave Erina a head pat with an amused smile.
