911 Unexpected Encounter in the Cuttexus City
Since Elysia’s group still needed to wait for Oceanid and Regulus to arrive, they decided to use a location in Cuttexus City as their meeting point.
Emperor Elliott Evans was nowhere to be found in the city. Therefore, the palace was not an option. However, Ella proposed to go to Holy Church for their meeting place.
No one objected, and everyone decided to go to the Holy Church in the city center from the palace.
“Let’s have a little walk. The Holy Church isn’t far from here either.” Elysia proposed a suggestion.
“But, we can’t let ourselves get too conspicuous. I’m going to put in an anti-attention energy barrier. Unless they focus on us, no one will even notice we’re around.” Elena put up an energy barrier around everyone.
“Really useless. That Sea God is slow, and that fat lion will obviously take a lot of time to arrive.” Xero grumbled. He could have already grasped the gist of the overall event, but he wished to know all the details.
Unfortunately, Rhea asked to wait for the other two Gods to join the discussion.
“Ehehe, we skipped breakfast and it’s almost noon.” Xentia chuckled happily after receiving a head pat from Goddess Aria.
“Ah, you’re right. We haven’t had breakfast and it’s almost lunch time.” Evelyn checked her cube clock.
“Should we eat at Holy Church, buy some on the way there, or stop by the restaurant?” Sylvia raised her finger. She was unfamiliar with this city, so she wished to hear everyone’s opinion.
The girls had a pleasant conversation while walking outside the palace territory without anyone noticing. However, a bluish carriage pulled by two white horses suddenly stopped before the palace’s entrance.
“E-Ely~” A girl clad in a graceful blue dress descended from her carriage and hurriedly went towards Elysia.
“Rosa Willis!? What are you doing here? We are currently in an anti-detection zone.” Elena gasped. She was currently taking over Elysia’s body to trap Ruvoid God’s avatars, and she did not wish to meet this girl here because she could guess the subsequent possible outcome.
“Ehehe, I have a business here too. It doesn’t matter if you hide behind the barrier. My Elysia radar will know if you are around. My wings have spread over several territories, thanks to you too.” Rosa laughed happily and gave a thumbs-up.
She then looked at everyone around and found some new faces. Therefore, she introduced herself politely and gracefully. “Hello, everyone. Pleased to meet you. I am Rosa Willis, Elysia’s senior sister at the academy and her contractor in business.”
“Hi, Senior Rosa. It’s a coincidence that we are meeting here. We’ll go for lunch then go to Holy Church. Is everything alright on your side?” Evelyn went between Rosa and ‘Elysia’. She feared Goddess Lina, the one currently disguised as Elysia, would be troubled.
“What is the Elysia radar? Is this what they mean by woman’s hunch? She only comes to Ely if she has a purpose related to business. Wait, that can’t be right…” Elena muttered in a mosquito-like voice. She remembered that every time Rosa appeared, Elysia would be compelled to become a model.
Ah, what a coincidence. I also have some business at the Holy Church. Mm, I also still need to have lunch. Since we met here, then we’re destined. Despite the turmoil and fighting in various regions worldwide, we still need to stay positive and take things calmly. I know some great places to go. Allow me to guide you.” Rosa dramatized the scene and waved her hands like she was playing a role in a stage play.
“I think it’s good to have a guide. We also need to wait for some people to come.” Elysia put her hands together. She wanted to see how Elena would handle Rosa.
“I am honored.” Rosa bowed slightly. She rushed to instruct her people, and then she went to join Elysia’s group.
And a city tour then lasted for almost an hour. The girls bought some pretty things, food, and even souvenirs before they finally went to the Holy Church.
“Ah, can we pay a visit to that place for a bit?” Rosa pointed at a new, nameless building.
“Oh, okay.” Elena agreed without thinking. She found Rosa behaved well, so she was no longer worried.
*Clink*
“Welcome to the Starlight Apparel.”
The doorbell rings and the employees greet their boss with a warm welcome.
“Hello, lady boss. You came back earlier than estimated. Oh my, you invited so many wonderful girls here.” An employee asked with a bright expression when he saw the stunning beauties behind her lady boss.
“Hehe~” Rosa puffed out her chest.
“Rosa, this place is your newly opened shop, right? Finish your business here, we’ll go to the Holy Church first.” Elena felt the urge to escape from Rosa as soon as possible.
“Fufu, why are you in such a rush? I’d like you to come, no, I’d like you to visit for a while.” Rosa caught ‘Elysia’ ‘s hand and dragged her top model inside.
“What do you want?” Elena glanced at Elysia, but the latter was amused to see her current situation. She heaved a subtle sigh as she was also like that.
“Maa, don’t be so cold. You are my lucky star, my top model in the world. Actually, I want to-” Rosa rubbed her hands together.
“Rejected.” Elena immediately refused even when Rosa had not finished speaking.
“E-eh? I haven’t even finished talking. Actually, we have a special new dress. ~” Rosa held Elysia’s arm with a friendly smile.
She signalled her employees. They immediately brought the special dress.
“Uuh, I don’t feel good about this. Can’t you get me off your model? I’m not a good model.” Elena took a step back and asked for help with a pitiful look. Unfortunately, no one would help her. They were anticipating the next event!?
Seconds later, Rosa’s employees returned with a beautiful white gown that sparkled like pure pearls. For a glance, it was what looked like a fully accessorized wedding dress, but it was a ball gown.
“That’s not good, Ely. You are my precious, ultra wonderful lucky star. It doesn’t matter if you don’t do well or are difficult to contact. As long as you model for my new dress about once a month, then it’s a deal.” Rosa shook her head.
Elena refused once more and asked Rosa to fire her. It doesn’t matter if there is a fine in the contract. Elysia also no longer needed to work for Rosa since they weren’t worried about money. However, Rosa’s following response surprised her.
“Huaaa, Ely! You can’t do this to me! Please don’t cancel our contract. I know you don’t need me, but I need you so much. Please, please, keep being my model.” Rosa knelt and hugged her lucky star’s waist. She cried like a bullied little girl.
“Why not help Rosa with her endeavors? She worked hard alone at the beginning and thought a lot for you. I’m sure this ball gown is well designed to accurately proportion your size, Ely.” Elysia put her hands together with a shining sweet smile.
“Ah, Elysia’s Goddess master truly understands my hard work. Ely, you must listen to your Goddess master’s request.” Rosa was amazed as she looked at the Goddess of Light.
“Uh, fine…” Elena finally gave in and allowed herself to be dragged into the changing room.
Moments later, she came out in a stunning sparkling white ball gown.
pAn,da n<0,>v,e1 “Please pose like this, Ely. Yeah, like that. Then this and that. Yes, yes, yes! That’s it. Then, can you dance a little like this?” Rosa gave her instructions like a pro photographer. She couldn’t stop capturing every moment of her top model’s movement using her photography kit. The memory crystal also recorded the photography event, focusing only on Elysia.
Rosa then asked ‘Elysia’ to change into other dresses until satisfied.
“Hehe, we got them all.” Sylvia chuckled happily. She also took pictures with her Memoire.
“Good job Sylvi. I’ll get all the copies to Rosa later.” Elysia patted Sylvia on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up.
“Sigh, girls and their flashy attraction.” Xero sighed and rolled his eyes. He sipped his hot coffee and shooed the shop’s servant away because she kept staring at him like a bunny in heat.
Once the event as the top model was over, Elena changed into Elysia’s usual white dress. Rosa gave a large box of gifts as a token of gratitude, and the new pearl white ball gown was one of those in the box.
“Thank you for your cooperation. I will look for you again next month, Ely!” Rosa waved her hand high with a broad, glistening smile.
“Uuh, she’s a hard worker, but what’s with the little business at Holy Church? She just wanted to lure us to her new shop.” Elena grumbled under her breath.
“Hehe, you are playing the role of the model, not a spectator. It’s a unique experience.” Rhea tries to comfort Elena.
“Un, that’s wonderful. The dresses are also so pretty.” Xentia smiled, glistening with joy.
‘Fufu, Sister Elena. That’s how I feel every time I deal with Rosa. She is a kind and hardworking girl. Her design is also top-notch. The recent war armor distributed among warriors is also produced by her business.’ Elysia chuckled.
‘I understand you, Ely.’ Elena nodded slightly. She would be pleased if the embarrassed one was Ely. It was indeed a sight to behold.
‘Ely, can you accompany me to see the Reinhard Clan after this?’ Ai asked Elysia via spirit telepathy.
