Chapter 879 Its Time to Return
Chapter 879 It\'s Time to Return
“You’ve taken them? Did they manage to prepare everything?” Rhea welcomes the arrival of the nature spirits.
“Hm, I’m not so sure. They tried their best to fulfill Lady Tifa’s request. How about checking first?” Sora and her comrades put some Space Bags on the table.
“Hmm...” Lifa checked all the items she asked America to prepare as an apology, but she found some things weren’t there.
“Thanks for the hard work. Here’s to all of you, one each.” Rhea stroked each nature spirit and distributed a spirit stone to them.
“Yay!” The nature spirits cheered with joy.
“What about the satellite and the complete communications system? They can’t fulfill that?” Lifa could ignore what wasn’t there, but those two things were Elysia’s request for their world.
“They’re too big to fit. We can’t take them. What should we do?” Wendy asked in wonder.
“All right, I’ll ask someone for it. So, they’ve worked hard enough to prepare everything in less than a day, hmm~” Lifa was quite satisfied. She then asked Nell for help to retrieve the big important thing that was still left behind.
“Mou, why only me?” Nell pouted and complained.
“I’ll go with you. Wendy will get us there in no time. Let’s go.” Rhea extended her hand to her little fairy sister.
“Okay!” Nell immediately agreed without any complaints.
After that, Rhea, Nell, and Wendy flew into the clear morning sky to pick up the promised satellite and communication system.
A few moments later, three other entities came from behind the clouds and landed on the roof of a luxury apartment building. They approached the Goddess and the nature spirits.
“Phew, we arrived just in time, right? Here, this is all you asked for. I’m going to take back my Space Bag since it was already given to me. So, please just move the contents to another one.” Fortuna heaved a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat.
“Huff, haah... That’s really crazy work. We explored almost the entire Heaven Realm and had a lot of individuals involved to prepare it all. I can’t feel my legs now. Working for you is a hell of a lot to say.” Darkness slumped down to the floor while gasping for air.
“I finally touched the Heaven Realm, but why do I feel nauseous and tired? Where is the happiness that should be there?” Victorious went limp on the floor. She had no strength left.
“Thanks for your hard work. Here, I’m giving you three dews, one each. You’ll feel fit again after drinking it.” Lifa checked on Fortuna and co. She then poured water drops between her delicate fingers and made three drops of the dew fly to each individual.
“What’s this?” Fortuna was feeling confused.
“A rare precious resource.” Lifa responded briefly, then transferred all the contents of the Space Bag to another one. She returned Fortuna’s Space Bag a moment later.
Fortuna felt that nothing was wrong and took a sip of the dew. She felt her body instantly rejuvenated and pampered from within. A fresh sensation exploded, and all tiredness disappeared in an instant. “O-oh~”
Seeing Fortuna’s expression of pleasure, Darkness and Victorious were curious and devoured a drop of dew in front of them. They soon had blessed expressions. It was the divine dew!
A few minutes later, Fortuna returned from her trance. She immediately took back her Space Bag. It was Elysia’s gift, after all. She would treasure it well.
“They’re back?” Elysia glanced up. She could sense Fortuna’s group had arrived.
“Shall we go now?” Evelyn asked with a smile. The affairs on Earth were finished, and they would return to their world to settle matters there.
“Mm, let’s say goodbye to Erina’s family first.” Elysia nodded and went to Erina’s bedroom.
*Knock* *Knock*
Elysia knocked on the door, and Mio opened the door from the inside.
“Mio, is Erina still meditating? We’re leaving soon.” Elysia glanced inside. She found Erina sitting on the golden canopy bed in the meditation position.
“Mm, as you can see, Elysia-sama. Erina-sama is still in meditation, but she told me to wake her up before you leave. However, I can’t even get too close to Erina-sama now because of her golden transformation.” Mio heaved a subtle sigh and stood aside.
“Hmm, it’s not good to just leave. I’ll wake her up.” Elysia licked her chin and decided.
“If youy please.” Mio pointed her lam into the room in an inviting hand gesture.
‘Erina, Erina, can you hear me? I’m sorry to interrupt your meditation, but we’ll be leaving soon.’ Elysia put her hand on Erina’s arm and sent a telepathy.
“Hmm?” Erina immediately came out of her meditation and opened her eyes. She could see most of the room had turned gold, including lint and dust.
However, Elysia was beside her, looking at her gently without worrying about turning into gold.
“You’re coming back, Ellie? But this isn’t a goodbye, is it?” Erina felt a little sad.
“Come on, this is just a temporary farewell. I can still talk to you via spirit telepathy. We’ll see each other again soon.” Elysia stood up and held out her hand.
“Yeah.” Erina grabbed Elysia’s hand and got out of her bed. She knew very well that it was a one-way communication as she could not initiate a telepathic conversation with Elysia with her current strength.
“Are you leaving already? And the entire Guardian of Dream?” Kenji came closer and asked the girls outside Erina’s room.
“That’s right, but you’d better keep this a secret.” Sylvia confirmed that.
“Alright. Then, allow us to escort you away. But, what means are you going to use to leave?” Kenji nodded in understanding, but he felt a little confused. This girl group often came and went like the free wind.
“With a poof, of course. However, we’ll use the open space on the roof.” Sylvia pointed up.
“Sir Kenji, SIr Mitsuzuka, Mio, we express our gratitude for having troubled you so much in the past few days. However, now is the time for us to leave. Please take care of your health and yourselves. Also, please use our gifts wisely. We put our trust in you.” Elysia came out of Erina’s room and said her farewell politely.
“No one is bothered at all, Elysia. We are the ones who are feel grateful to you.” Mitsuzuka shook his head.
‘Ely... Rhea and Nell are back. Your and Lifa’s request is already in hand, and now is the time for us to leave. Have you talked to Ella? When was the last time you talked to her? She must be feeling really lonely, you know?’ Elena asked from within the Elysian Realm.
‘I haven’t told Ella yet. The last time I spoke to her... it was before we went to the Heaven Realm. Let me talk to her first.’ Elysia invites everyone to go to the rooftop and open a telepathy conversation with Ella.
“...” Erina was silent, but she tightly gripped Elysia’s hand. Due to her still uncontrollable strength, everyone kept their distance from her, except for Elysia. Her first and wonderful friend stayed relaxed without being affected by her golden transformation.
At that moment, a young girl clad in priest’s robes was kneeling in front of the Goddess of Blessing statue. She clasped her hands with her eyes closed as she recited her prayers in her mind.
However, a pleasant voice from someone suddenly came to her mind. The one that she had been waiting for for the last few days. ‘Ella, Ella, can my voice reach you? Please answer me.’
‘Eh, Ely?’ Ella stopped her chanting and opened her eyes with a bit of surprise.
‘Mm, it’s me. Is the situation fine on your side? We will return to Vrelenia soon. Can you go to a safe open place?’ Elysia made her request.
‘Mm, everything is still fine here since I am still in Capital City, Holy Region. However, the situation is a bit tense elsewhere because the war has broken out. Even so, everyone fought hard to control the situation until you returned. The Sea God is a very hard working one.’ Ella immediately stood up and walked away.
She took the high-ranking holy knights by surprise, but they immediately followed her without asking much. She gave a hand gesture to protect her in silence.
Ella then confirmed that she was in a safe open place to Elysia. She awaited everyone’s arrival with enthusiasm.
“What the-” Kenji gasped when he saw the graceful lady sitting by the pool with golden hair and golden eyes. He thought she was the same six-winged angel as the one he met last month, but upon closer look, she looked different from that angel.
“Is everyone here? Where is Gio?” Elysia asked.
“He’s here!” Vanessa raised Gio high for attention. She would carry him in her arms.
“What about Tic?” Elysia looks at Kenan and Kri, but he is nowhere to be found.
“That fool... I already woke him up, but he went to sleep again?” Nell flew inside to drag Xero away.
“!?” Mitsuzuka and Kenji are surprised to find a fairy flying past them.
Guardian of Dream’s members were not only filled by humans, apparently. Maybe, that cat girl and those fox girls were real ones, not girls in cosplay?
“What is this? Why are you dragging me?” Xero grumbled in a half-conscious tone.
“Wake up, sleepy head. Now it’s time for us to head back.” Nell dragged Xero into the group.
“All right, everyone is here. Then, see you next time, Fortuna, Darkness, and Victorious.” Lifa raised her hand in farewell.
“Heehee~” Fortuna stood up with a mysterious smile.
‘Elysia, are you going back to your world already?’ Gaia sent telepathy to Elysia.
‘Mm, we’ll be back soon to settle our world’s problems. Please take care of yourself, Lady Gaia. Also, please protect Erina for me.’ Elysia responded in a gentle tone.
‘Alright, but you’ve tied the knot of fate. Do you want to be responsible to her?’ Gaia didn’t mind.
‘What kind of responsibility?’ Elysia asked in wonder.
‘Sigh, you’ll know when the time comes. I’ve marked your existence from the world’s legal exceptions. You can come and go without needing to go through the dimension obstruction. You need to take care of yourself and everyone else. Please don’t die.’ Gaia sighed as she didn’t want to explain.
‘Okay, see you again on our next visit, Lady Gaia.’ Elysia was relieved to hear the good news.
Elysia created a virtual magic circle before telling everyone to enter the teleportation zone.
She then glanced down. Erina was still holding her hand tightly as if Erina didn’t want to let it go anytime soon.
“Eh?” Elysia also noticed something strange. Fortuna looked at her with a suspicious expression. It felt like something was wrong.
