Chapter 553: Something Wet
Chapter 553: Something Wet
“Mhn…” Elysia felt her cheeks slightly moist, and something damp was rubbing against her cheek again and again.
She then opened her eyes slightly, still half-conscious with a bit of hazy vision.
The light-headed girl took a few seconds to realize what was going on. A white cat was licking her cheek?
“V-Vann?” Elysia opened her eyes wide.
“Mm, good afternoon, master. You seem disturbed, and I tried to wake you.” Vanessa stepped back and lay on her master’s tummy.
“Good afternoon… Eh, wait. Wasn’t I watching everyone try their divine items? Was it all a dream? A dream that hasn’t come in my sleep for a long time?” Elysia muttered under her breath. She felt a little confused.
“Mm! You saw us all in our battlesuit, master. You even prepared for my two forms of transformation. However, you fell asleep on the shoulders of the Goddess of Nature when it was Uncle Theo’s turn. You seemed so exhausted. Please forgive me for waking you up earlier. “Vanessa tilted her head to find out what might be bothering her master.
“But, why lick my face? It’s fine if you wake me up the usual way…” Elysia took a wet tissue on the nightstand near the bed and wiped her face from Vanessa’s saliva. She then realized what Vanessa had said earlier. “I was disturbed by something while sleeping? Did I have a bad dream? But, I can’t remember any dreams, though?”
Feeling like she got nothing with just attempting to think, Elysia looked at Vanessa and asked. “Thanks for waking me up. But what happens to me when I sleep, Vann?”
“You were restless and sweaty. Could it be because your muscles are quite tense from exhaustion? I massaged you before I decided to wake you, master. How do you feel now?” Vanessa felt proud and honored to admit her actions.
“I see… I feel fit and refreshed. Thanks, Vann. So that’s why you licked my face?” Elysia smiled and raised the white cat to eye level.
“I- I can’t? But, you are my master. I don’t wake everyone up by licking their faces.” Vanessa replied with an innocent yet pitiful gaze.
Elysia heaved a subtle sigh to see her contracted beast’s expression. She then propelled her body to sit down and put Vanessa on her lap before she gave her a few caresses. “I didn’t ask to tell you that you shouldn’t do that, though? What time is it, hmm?”
Elysia turned her head to the nearby clock cube. It was one o’clock in the afternoon. So, six to seven hours had passed since she watched everyone in their divine battlesuit?
Vanessa moved her head reflexively to follow her master’s hand movements. She purred because it was always a pleasure to be petted by her master.
Elysia just smiled to see her white cat. Vanessa’s cat form purred every time she gave a few caresses. Still, it was slightly different when Vanessa was a big tiger. Might it be ‘chuff’ instead?
*Clack*
The bedroom door suddenly opened, and a teenage girl of heavenly beauty with long turquoise hair and a hint of azure at the ends of her hair entered. She had a tray in her hand. “Hm? I’m glad to see you’re fit again, Ely. You missed breakfast, right? I made you a healthy bowl of porridge.”
“Mm, thanks for your concern. I really appreciate it.” Elysia replied with a bright smile.
Rhea then sat on a bench next to the bed and put the tray on the nightstand. “Hmm… Do you want me to feed you?”
“No thanks. I’ll go wash my hands first.” Elysia put Vanessa on the bed before she left to go to the bathroom.
A few moments later, she returned and sat on the edge of the bed, next to Rhea.
“Here, please enjoy while it’s warm. I made this myself. Please tell me whether it suits your taste or not.” Rhea then handed the bowl of porridge full of nutrition to Elysia.
“Thank you, and have a good meal.” Elysia then ate the porridge. “Hmm~ This is delicious.”
“I’m glad to hear it.” Rhea put her hands in her lap. She only smiled warmly to watch Elysia devour her homemade porridge.
“Oh right, what about everyone after I fell asleep this morning?” Elysia paused for a moment as she wanted to know what happened more.
“I carried you so you can sleep well in this room while the others deactivated their divine battlesuits after Sylvia took some photos of everyone. They are currently in the living room, playing some Elysia’s games while enjoying some pizzas.” Rhea reported a summary of what happened.
But, she then remembered some essential things and immediately reported that too. “Ah, one more thing. Several guests came to see you, us. However, Sea God told all the guests to leave and come back another time. My little sister is now also on her way to distributing our Anti Curse Mechanism to various war spots around the world. She gave some notices to the higher-ups of each continent as well.”
“Hm? Is that okay? I mean, anyone could have the intention of stealing our Anti Curse Mechanism, right?” Elysia had some worries.
After all, Anti Curse Mechanism was a masterpiece of many varied items, the result of hard work between the three Goddesses, Elena and herself. Greedy and irresponsible people would obviously be tempted to take the tool for personal gain.
“We have considered it, but my little sister has come up with a solution. She did not tell any third parties where she put our Anti Curse Mechanism, only supporting information. She also placed my talisman seal in all spots. So, information whatever at that particular spot will come to us with this talisman.” Rhea took out a light green talisman.
Ancient-looking golden handwriting read ‘activate’, and behind it were dozens of mysterious tiny gold dots.
“All these golden dots indicate how many mechanisms my little sister has put in place. She has installed eighty-nine Anti Curse Mechanisms around the sealed areas.” Rhea turned her talisman and explained a bit.
“Mm, then, everything will be perfect and under control.” Elysia was relieved. She then ate her lunch and checked Elena’s state in the Soul Realm.
Elena was fast asleep, hugging her spirit. But, Elena’s drool splattered all over her spirit’s face.
“…” Elysia was at a loss for words. It was evident that not only her face was covered in saliva, but her spirit also suffered a similar fate.
Even so, Elysia just let it be. Elena must still be feeling really tired. Probably more than her fatigue, and it would take at least half a day of rest like what Elena announced last night.
Done with lunch, Elysia carried Vanessa and left the room with Rhea. She was then warmly greeted by everyone. They seemed relieved and happy to see her back.
“Are you really all right, Ely? Would you like some ginger milk to warm you up?” Evelyn went to sit beside Elysia and asked with concern.
“I’ve had enough rest, so I’m fine. Uhm, please don’t blame me for staying up late, okay? But, I want ginger milk.” Elysia backed away a little. It reminded her of her secretary Evelyn who would drag her to bed if she stayed up late.
“One ginger milk with a little sugar, right? Please wait a moment. I’ll make it for you.” Evelyn nodded and hurried off to the kitchen.
Elysia looked at Evelyn’s back reflexively, but some gazes were still on her. She knew they had something to say. “Err… Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there some good news coming?”
“Hehe, Ely… We remember that you also have a divine battlesuit. Can we see your transformation?” Sylvia rested her head on her hands and displayed a cute attitude.
“I…” Elysia felt a little embarrassed to fulfill the request. After all, the design of her fallen angel robes was slightly modified in the finale to display something graceful, alluring, and beautiful.
Yet, consequently, her battlesuit was quite showing off her skin and curves. Elena also got a similar battlesuit, but that girl didn’t have the same shyness as her!
Because of that, Elysia immediately turned her head toward Rhea to ask for help. Unfortunately, Rhea only responded with a sweet smile.
‘Meanie…’ Elysia voiced her grievances via telepathy.
‘Oh my… I’d also like to see you in your fallen angel battlesuit again, Master Elysia. You look very charming and captivating. Uhm, do you feel too shy to show it to your friends now? That’s fine. You’ll get used to it later.’ Rhea clasped her hands with sparkling eyes. She anticipated Elysia’s transformation very much.
‘But, but- That, I just don’t feel ready for everyone to see. Sylvi will probably take some photos too…’ Elysia spoke her mind.
‘Ah, Master Elena doesn’t seem to have woken up yet. So, she can’t accompany you through this. If so, would you like me to accompany you, Master Elysia? I got a new divine dress, err battlesuit too and will show it to everyone with you~’ Rhea offered another solution.
‘Um, okay.’ Elysia gave an agreement almost instantly. She felt that she wouldn’t be so embarrassed if she wasn’t alone under the spotlight.
“Uhm, Ely? Can we?” Sylvia rested her head on Elysia’s lap while looking up with a pleading gaze.
“Hum-mm~ Ely was embarrassed to display her divine battlesuit alone when you all showed it off this morning. I’ll be wearing my new divine dress to accompany Ely so she won’t be too shy, but please don’t take our picture.” Rhea came closer and reminded everyone, mainly aimed at the devil girl.
“Well… Understood!” Sylvia considered it for a moment, then she gave a salute.
