Chapter 445: They will Come Along
Chapter 445: They will Come Along
Elysia looked at Nell and Rhea, but they also looked back at Elysia. But, Rhea understood that Elysia was having a hard time coming up with an answer.
"Our journey is fraught with danger. You are Ely's friend, but are you sure that you can guarantee that you are not far from danger, or will not give us trouble? Or, you think this is just a world tour?" Rhea inquired casually but clearly.
"I know, but I can't just sit quietly knowing my friend is out there, in danger. I'll do my best to help with anything. But, please allow me to come along." Evelyn confirmed once again at her request.
"Is it?" Rhea doubted Evelyn's reason. She was worried for the safety of this young seedling which is still too early to face the dangers out there.
"..." Evelyn was silent for a moment, and the room was enveloped in a fleeting silence. She glanced at the Goddess of Blessings, the Goddess of Light, then she looked at her best friend with a pitiful gaze. "Can I?"
'Ely, what are you going to do? I think, it will be fine if you bring Ella and Eve with us. This is for their experience and we will protect them. But, are you ready for it? They will probably find out that you have divine level power, not just an ordinary girl.' Elena expressed her opinion via telepathy on a special channel.
'Uhm, huff, they're my friends, sooner or later, they'll find out too. But, I hope they remain as lovely friends as I know them to be. I don't want their attitude to change 180 degrees.' Elysia didn't have any resistance either. She only looked at Evelyn with a tender gaze.
'Then, ask them to ask permission from their family people first before anything. We can't possibly let a bad girl get on the boat, can we?' Elena gave a piece of advice since Elysia seemed to have made a decision.
Because of those few seconds of silence, Evelyn became gloomy because she thought she didn't get permission from anyone. She looked at the girl with black glasses with an envious look. "So I can't come with you? Then why did you allow Sylvia to come along, Ely? It's not fair, you're not fair."
"Maybe it's because I have disguised Saint-level strength?" Sylvia put her finger to her cheek and tilted her head slightly.
"..." Evelyn pouted and decided not to talk anymore.
"It doesn't matter if you want to come with us, terms and conditions apply. I've got permission from my master. But, we only have slots for two people. This can also be considered for your future experiences. Eve, Ella, if you If you really want to go on this dangerous journey, you need to get permission from your family first. Otherwise, I can't do anything." Elysia shrugged her shoulders slightly at the end of her words.
Evelyn's expression instantly changed to that of a sunny day. She rushed in front of her best friend and grasped the latter's hand with an excited smile. "Thank you very much, Ely! Thank you the Goddess of Light! Please give me five minutes to ask my mother for permission."
"Ah, umm, is your mother still in this city?" Elysia nodded slightly.
"Un. Maybe, my mother is on her way to the Holy Cathedral, or maybe here? Anyway, please excuse me. I'll be right back!" Evelyn ran away from the room, waving her hand.
Meanwhile, Ella looked at her grandfather and her mother with hopeful eyes. She clasped her hands with a pitiful smile like a little girl wishing for something. "Can I?"
Alexander sighed as his decision was clear. If there was the safest place in the world, he would confidently say that this group of three divine beings was the answer.
"You have our permission, Ella. But you need to always be a good girl and listen to any good advice given to you." Alexander leaned back and nodded.
"Mm, it's a dangerous journey. You need to follow every instruction of the Goddess of Blessings." Lucia nodded with a tender smile.
"Thank you very much, grandfather, mother. Ella will always be a good girl and follow the Goddess of Blessings' every instruction." Ella closed her eyes and bowed slightly.
After that, she looked at the three Goddesses, and her friend Elysia was also included.
"Please take good care of me. I will be in your care." Ella gave another bow.
Then, Lucia also bowed to the Goddesses for a request. "This humble mortal pleads with all his heart. Please don't let my daughter fall in danger and please take care of her."
"Mm..." Nell nodded, but she sighed inwardly. She also couldn't do anything if things had become like this. However, she wrote a note in her mind to make Elysia and Elena take full responsibility for the safety of these two girls.
"The, it's decided? Yay, our party has grown and will become even more exciting! It used to be just the three of us, but now our party has grown really big, Ely!" Sylvia wiggled her hands because she was feeling so happy. An adventure with a big party of awesomeness.
"The three of us? It's my first time seeing you, young girl. What's your name again? Erm, Sylyf, Sylsi?" Arthur folded his arms across his chest. He wondered about the identity of the girl who claimed to have Saint-level strength.
"My name is Sylvia, mister. This is probably the first time we meet. But, you are such a flirt just because you want to get to know me, hehe..." Sylvia covered her mouth to cover her playful smile.
"What?" Arthur scratched his head. He got some weird looks, and he just decided not to dig into the topic just now.
But, he accidentally saw the true color of Sylvia's eyes. Beneath those sunglasses, the girl had red eyes!
"Red eyes? This is really unusual... Like a devil. Young girl, you said that you are a disguised Saint-level expert, huh? Then why did you do that? Can you release your aura now?" Arthur frowned. Because of her words, all attention was on Sylvia herself, including Alexander.
"Ah, umm..." Sylvia drew closer to Elysia and the Goddesses. She felt uncomfortable and threatened by that stare. "It's probably just a cursed eyes? I purposely disguised my aura and overall strength because I was running away from home. My father would drag me home if he found out about my whereabouts. I don't want to go home."
"Don't want to go home? Sylvia, did something happen to your father and your family?" Lucia asked worriedly.
"Yup, he wants to sell me to a big bad black man because of an unknown deal. Mm, that bad man is one as big as him!" Sylvia pointed her finger at the dragon-like man. She wanted to change the subject immediately.
"Hmm?" Gio pointed at himself with a clueless expression. He was a little surprised to be pointed out suddenly as if there was something important.
"Oh my..." Ella and Lucia spoke in unison. They also both covered their mouth in surprise.
Meanwhile, Elysia just rolled her eyes as if she didn't care. She was sure there was a story behind it, things that Sylvia didn't know. But she could only reveal the truth later when they arrived at the Devil Continent.
Three minutes later, Evelyn returned with a lady clad in light armor. Evelyn's mother came in person, just like what Evelyn had hoped for.
"My silly daughter may be a little troublesome, but this humble mortal asks with all my heart, please take care of my daughter and keep her away from any harm. My permission and prayers will always be with her." Isabelle made her request with a bow.
Besides the joy of being in the presence of divine beings, she was also excited to know that her daughter had the honor of traveling with the group of three Goddesses!
"Why the formalities now? We're not leaving until the day after tomorrow, though?" Elena added, and it gave Lucia and Isabelle an awkwardness.
How could it not be? They both thought that the departure was today.
"But, well, if you allow your daughter, then we will take care of them. There is only one condition for them in this journey, don't separate yourself from the group. Understood?" Elena put a lot of emphasis on her reminder.
"Understood!" Evelyn and Ella answered in unison.
"How about you?" Elena gave Sylvia a glance.
"Ehm, I will not leave Ely's side. I am in the protection and care of your disciple, ma'am!" Sylvia gave a salute with a stiff motion.
Elena just smiled at the ridiculous behavior. After that, they all had lunch together.
Nell took the time to update her information from Alexander and Arthur. On the other hand, she also gave some instructions to these two highest authorities.
Finished with lunch, Nell, Alexander, and Arthur left to take care of quite a bit of business. Lucia and Isabelle also left after saying goodbye to their daughters. Even so, they all promised to return at dusk.
For some reason, Elysia found Ella and Evelyn stealing a few glances at her. They seemed to expect something out of her.
"Today was a tricky day. But what's with you, Eve, Ella? If you just stole a few glances at me, I wouldn't know what you wanted to say." Elysia smiled and shook her head gently.
"Ah, umm... Ely, can you come here for a moment?" Evelyn beckoned by swinging her arm.
Elysia just put Rhea on Elena's lap attentively. Then, she joined her friends by sitting between them. "I'm here."
