Chapter 419: Father's Legacy
Time passed, Elysia and the others used their time to talk lightly about many things, especially about their future plans.
Yuuki was the one who asked the most questions because of her curiosity about the world. After all, she would get a ticket to travel the world on a noble task without worrying about her extreme ice-cold ability running out of control when she was unstable.
'Ely, please open the portal for me. I want to have an evening conversation with Lifa. Rhea will sleep there too. Look at this cute baby. She is fast asleep and snuggles up to me. Are we mothers now, hm-mm?' Elena stood up and walked away.
'All right, Nell will be here to look after me.' Elysia opened the portal for an instant. Elena switched realms in just a matter of nanoseconds, and it made Yuuki shocked and frightened.
"Wha- what just happened? That golden-haired woman just disappeared there. She's been kidnapped by this forest-dwelling ghost! How about this, what do we need to do... Goddess Ely, please do something. That woman might be in danger right now!" Yuuki stuttered in panic while pointing to where she had last seen the golden-haired woman and the elf baby.
"Oh my, have you become concerned about Ane, Yuuki? Didn't you hate her a while ago?" Elysia smirked slightly to twist the words.
"That's because that woman wants me to look bad in front of you, Goddess Ely. She is only seeking your attention. Although I quite dislike that woman, this is a different matter when it comes to one's life. She is one of your servants, right?" Yuuki became doubtful and concerned at the end of her speech.
"Don't worry, it was me who transferred Ane to the private realm. She and Aria wanted to rest." Elysia gave the fox girl a head pat.
"Private realm? What is it?" Yuuki heaved a sigh of relief, but she became curious.
"Ah, you can think of it as a portable house with a large area." Elysia scratched her head as she had a little trouble explaining.
"Wow, is that your house, Goddess Ely. Can I visit your house?" Yuuki pleaded with sparkling eyes full of hope.
"You can, but if you have become a good girl with a satisfactory attitude. Not everyone can enter the private realm." Elysia considered the answer based on Elena's suggestion.
"O-oh! I will prove myself to you in the near future." Yuuki clenched her hands in front of her chest with a determined glint in her eyes. "That way, I can visit the Goddess's house, hehe..."
Elysia just smiled and tidied up the papers from their discussion. She just put it in her Space Bag.
'Nell, can you rest on my head. Just you and me, can you watch over me tonight? I plan not to sleep tonight.' Elysia gazed gently at the winged tigers in the distance. They were playing in the snow without fear of hypothermia.
'Sure.' Nell flew over and landed on Elysia's head. She couldn't refuse if the one asking was Elysia. 'Then, I'll keep you company all night.'
'Thank you.' Elysia replied softly.
'It's okay, Elysia. Or, I need to call you Ely, hmm? Anyway, why did Elena decide to enter the Nature Realm? My big sister was sleeping comfortably here earlier.' Nell decided to ask her confusion.
'Elena wants to have a night talk with Madam Lifa. If we're going to follow the original plan, we should have an evening party or pajamas party now. However, it cannot be held tonight.' Elysia answered while taking out two thick sleeping bags.
"Hmm? Excuse me, the little fairy over there. What are you doing over Goddess Ely's head? Don't you realize that is a great offense?" Yuuki just realized the little fairy's existence. She almost forgot that fairy was around.
"It's okay, Yuuki. I asked Helen to rest on top of my head. Here, take this, it will help warm your body while providing comfort." Elysia handed the extra comfortable sleeping bag to Yuuki.
Since the divine had spoken, then Yuuki just nodded in understanding. But, that was a different matter with the gift. She received the sleeping bag with great joy.
"This, this is! I feel so honored. It's so soft and comfortable. Thank you so much for your gift, Goddess Ely. I will keep and look after this very well." Yuuki embraced the sleeping bag and stroked her cheek there as if to mark it with her scent.
"I gave it to you not as an item to keep, so please make use of it." Elysia shook her head and slipped into her sleeping bag. Yuuki just imitated what she did. They were both in their sleeping bags, staring up at the night sky.
"Night camping in the woods... Hopefully, there won't be a blizzard or extreme weather tonight." Yuuki muttered in a mosquito-like voice. Then, she drew closer to Elysia.
Fortunately, they were still enveloped by the warm barrier. Elysia wasn't worried even though a blizzard hit when they were spending the night outside like that.
Meanwhile, Vanessa and her little family were so engrossed in playing in the snow. They chatted, shared stories, and joked around while there was still time and opportunity.
The time together was so short, but Vanessa couldn't ask for more than that gift. The Goddesses, including her masters, had gone so far as to resurrect two members of her family.
Even though Vanessa already knew that and was aware of it, it was complex when the signs of the morning sun were about to come. So, her father and brother would go back to the realm of the dead?
"Hmm... Dawn will be here soon. This temporary body won't last more than five minutes, I guess." Zach glanced at his paws. He was more transparent than before, and the effect was already visible.
"If-if, suppose if I get a chance to ask my master to revive you again, will that be fine?" Vanessa stammered sadly at the inevitable.
"I suggest, don't try to ask for it, my daughter Vanessa. Even if your divine master is able to make it happen with a swing of her hand, it might have an impact on me and your brother." Zach stroked his daughter's head with fatherly affection. He rarely did that, but it might be his last time to do it again.
"We are dead, so please let us go willingly. It's almost time for me and your father to take our chance to reincarnate. I hope you have a wonderful life with the late Goddess, big sister." Jimmy also stroked his big sister's head while there was a chance.
"You stupis son. Aren't I your father too? Why do you say that as if it's just me and my daughter?" Zach smacked Jimmy on the head to remind him.
"Ow! Then, our father, yes, that. Now I think about it, would the performance and abilities of my mind work a hundred times better, if in my lifetime, I had never been attacked in the head like that." Jimmy reflected on his philosophy of life.
"Maybe, but that kind of ability comes to the lucky ones. And you're not in that category. Let's hope for it in your next opportunity, haha-ha!" Zach laughed at his dry joke. He knew his daughter was sad, but he didn't want to see tears at the end of his time in the world of the living.
"It's almost time... I've come to accompany you before you leave. The good times passed so quickly while you were enjoying it. Isn't that a bit regrettable?" Elysia came over with Nell on top of her head.
"Yeah, that's a bit regrettable, but we need to follow the absolute rules of the universe. Even though you have tremendous power as a divine, you were willing to be here before my son and I disappeared from the world. I feel very honoured. Please accept my gratitude." Zach gave a bow of gratitude. His son also followed suit.
"If-if... In my next life, please allow me to be your humble servant, o Almighty Goddess. I will go south if you wish, and I will not go east if you forbid it." Jimmy said what he was thinking without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll welcome you if you become a good boy by then. Let's see where fate will guide us in the future." Elysia crouched down and stroked the black cat's head. She was unbiased and petted the reddish-gold cat too.
After that, Jimmy turned around to face his big sister. He smiled, but tears blurred his vision as he spoke his heart. "I have troubled you a lot, big sister. I am a bad little brother, but thank you for being my big sister. If we meet again in my next life, I want to be your big brother to protect you."
"You stupid Jimmy. No matter how you look at it, you will always be my little brother." Vanessa smiled and wiped her tears that almost fell. She didn't want to cry at this memorable moment.
"Hehe..." Jimmy just scratched his head and wiped his tears.
"My daughter, this is my entire legacy and power. I leave everything to you. You need to use this power to serve your divine master on her side. The weak can't do anything, only the strong can." Zach said that firmly.
He pierced through his own chest and took out his Energy Core. Then, he used the remaining of his magic to make it dart into his daughter's chest.
"Eh?" Vanessa was incredibly shocked at what had just happened all of a sudden. She looked at her chest, and the red Energy Core seemed to slowly melt and be absorbed into her chest.
