Chapter 828 Departure for Seoul (1)
“We forgot about Gio and Cherub’s arrangement…” Evelyn raised her hand. She just realized the nearby little dragons were forgotten to be counted.
“They’ll be joining us in Master Ely’s shadow. What else?” Yuuki shrugged her shoulders.
“We should go see Erina now.” Elysia looked at the clock. It was almost seven o’clock.
“All right.” Ai went straight into Elysia’s shadow. She pulled everyone in there except Sylvia, Vanessa, and Xentia.
“Shall we go now?” Elysia offered her hand.
“Wait, I will transform first.” Vanessa took a little distance, then her entire body was instantly enveloped by a purplish light. Her form shrunk and became a little white cat when the light faded.
“Wow! What an amazing change, Vann! Is that your special ability? It’s morbin time!” Xentia immediately carried Vanessa.
“Xentia, please treat Vann gently. You can hurt her if you hold her like that.” Elysia tugged Xentia’s sleeves.
“Mm, Xentia will be extra more careful. I’m sorry, Vann. Does it hurt?” Xentia immediately treated the cute cat in her arms with great care. “Can Xentia also use the time morbin and become a cat?”
“That’s not your innate ability, Xentia. Everyone has their own uniqueness and specialties, including you.” Elysia gives Xentia a head pat. “Will Xentia become a good girl beside me?”
“Mm, Xentia is a good girl!” Xentia nodded excitedly.
“All right, we go now.” Elysia once again effered her hands. Sylvia and Xentia held her hand happily.
After Elysia lifted the house’s barrier, she took everyone to teleport to Erina’s location.
“Hmm-mm~” Erina walked cheerfully towards the living room while pulling a large suitcase. She would have a nice one-day trip with Elysia.
“Erina, here we come.” Elysia greeted from behind.
“E-eh? Ellie, you’ve come!” Erina turned around and greeted Elysia with a bright smile. She offered her hand, and Elysia grabbed it.
“Hi~” Elysia intertwined her fingers with Erina’s. “How are your preparations? Are you ready to go to Seoul?”
“Mm, everything is well prepared. However, my grandfather changed our travel plans a bit for our common good.” Erina nodded, then looked left and right.
Elysia came along with Sylvia, Vanessa the cat, and a beautiful girl with golden blonde hair whom she had met for the first time.
At that moment, a random thought crossed her mind. She had already met several of Elysia’s friends. All of them were rare top-tier beauties. Maybe, Elysia-
“Yay-hello~ Why are you daydreaming when you look at Ely’s face?” Sylvia waved her hand in front of Erina’s face.
“Eh-ah, mm… I’m fine.” Erina came out of her little random thoughts and blushed a bit.
“Why can’t Xentia understand what is being said? What language do you speak now? Can you please use a language that Xentia can understand? I feel left out.” Xentia tugged at the hem of Elysia’s sleeve.
“Eh?” Sylvia was somewhat surprised. She didn’t know they had changed languages without her noticing. After all, she only relied on Elysia’s shared processing and didn’t know the difference.
“Ah, then, excuse me.” Elysia forgot to add Xentia for shared processing.
She let go of Erina’s hand and held Xentia’s cheeks. Afterward, she put her forehead to Xentia’s to install shared processing.
“Can you understand what I’m saying now? It’s Japanese.” Elysia took some distance and smiled.
“O-oh! Xentia can understand now. Japanese!” Xentia replied with a slight jump of joy.
“Uhm, Ellie?” Erina wondered what had just happened.
“It’s just an assist skill I just learned. Erina, she is Xentia. Xentia, she is Erina.” Elysia introduced two people who had met for the first time.
“Mm, Xentia heard about you this morning. You are a friend, but you will still be under observation. Nice to meet you, Erina!” Xentia shook Erina’s hand in a smooth motion.
“The pleasure is mine, Cynthia. Are you from America?” Erina scanned the girl in front of her from top to bottom.
“America. My name is Xentia. Xen-tia, not Cynthia.” Xentia nodded and let go of Erina’s hand.
“Xen-tia, all right.” Erin nodded in understanding. For some reason, she felt Xentia had a Chinese name vibe now.
“Hm? Where’s Mio?” Elysia looked around, but Mio was nowhere to be found in her two-hundred-meter perception radar.
“Mio is checking the car that will take us to the airport. Ah, please don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t left alone. I just picked up something I almost left in the room just now.” Erina immediately gave Sylvia a reasonable excuse.
“Well, so you went back to your room without telling her? Please don’t do that again, especially outside the safe zone. Never go alone for any reason. Do you understand, E-ri-na?” Sylvia put her finger under Erina’s chin so the other party would look at her face.
“Y-yes…” Erina could only reply with a meek nod.
“Good if you understand. Let’s go?” Sylvia returned to her position behind Elysia with Xentia.
“Sure, let’s go.” Elysia opened her arms, and Vanessa jumped into her arms. She then went side-by-side with Erina.
“…” Xentia didn’t know what to say. She thought the cat loved her gentle treatment.
“Psst, we are bodyguards now. The trip is after the Hong Clan matter is over. Did you forget?” Sylvia whispered close to Xentia’s ear.
“Xentia didn’t forget.” Xentia straightened her back and immediately followed Elysia.
“…” Sylvia just shrugged her shoulders and followed closely behind.
“Erina-sama, where have you been?” Mio came over with a jog.
“Sorry, Mio. I took something left in the room just now. Elysia and her friends have arrived. Let’s meet Young Master Hong in the living room now.” Erina grabbed Mio’s arm and dragged her bodyguard to her left.
“O-oh…” Mio glanced at Elysia and received a friendly smile. She replied with a slight nod, and glanced at the two girls behind Elysia, then started walking beside Erina.
“Oh, you’ve arrived here, Elysia.” Mitsuzuka turned around and found a group of girls approaching. He squinted his eyes a bit when he noticed another new face.
“…” Kenji observed that golden blonde girl too. This girl reminded him of a six-winged angel with golden hair and eyes he encountered last month.
“Err, are you just going to go in a casual dress like that? We’re not going to a tropical warm place, you know? Anyway, where’s your luggage, Elysia-sama?” Hong Ju-Won folded his arms with a frown.
“Our luggage is there, but you just can’t see it. Is it still cold in South Korea? It’s already spring, right?” Elysia tilted her head slightly.
“The world’s weather is very unpredictable lately. It’s still cold there, and it’s even snowing.” Hong Ju-Won looked at his friend.
“That’s right. So make sure to bring warm clothes and a thick jacket. You’ll freeze to death if you only wear that white dress.” Sung Se-Yeon nodded in agreement. Yet, he suddenly realized something and a brilliant idea crossed his mind.
“Ahem, didn’t you bring a jacket? Well, let me-” Sung Se-Yeon took off her jacket and was about to give it to Elysia.
“Fufu, you don’t have to worry, Young Master Sung Se-Yeon. We have prepared everything thoroughly. You don’t have to worry about us because Ellie is with me.” Erina covered her mouth and held Elysia’s hand. “Ellie, I have some warm jackets. We can also wear the warm dress when it gets cold.”
“O-oh, thank you.” Elysia just went with the flow. Although, she has some warm clothes and a thick jacket in her Space Bag for her group.
“Then, can we leave now?” Hong Ju-Won checked his watch.
“Yeah, but you’re going to Seoul on our private plane. Please tell the pilot to take off without passengers in fifteen minutes.” Mitsuzuka seemed to answer Hong Ju-Won, but he stared at the burly old man behind that young master.
“Understand.” Grandpa Five nodded slightly. He took out his phone and told the pilot to take off in fifteen minutes.
“Elysia, please take good care of Erina.” Kenji looked at Elysia with a meaningful gaze.
“Mm, Erina is in our care.” Elysia put her hand on her upper chest.
Erina then said a few words to her grandfather and father. It was like a little girl asking for her family’s blessing before going on a field trip with her friends.
“…” Elysia placed a hidden marker on Mitsuzuka and Kenji without anyone knowing. She then waved her hand as she walked out. “See you tomorrow.”
“I’ll call when we get to Seoul.” Erina waved her hand as well.
“It’s only a two-hour air journey.” Mitsuzuka smiled faintly, but he looked forward to Erina’s call.
A while later, Hong Juwon’s entourage and Erina’s entourage left the mansion in two cars. They went straight to the airport.
“Woah, it’s so crowded here… So many people.” Xentia looked out the car window.
“Please be careful with the crowds. Enemies could sneak between them.” Sylvia rested her cheek against her hand.
“Enemies!? Xentia should be more careful.” Xentia was taken aback and instantly became more alert.
“Also, please don’t mention your name all the time. Tell you what, let’s call you Miss X if we’re on a mission.” Sylvia advised patiently.
“Miss X? X for Xentia? We have four bodyguards in this mission. So, it’s Miss M for Mio, Miss S for Sylvi, and Miss V for Vann!” Xentia put her hands together with a sparkling expression. She felt so genius now.
“Miss V? I think it’s a bit inappropriate to use for a pseudonym…” Erina smiled in amusement.
“Vann will use the codename white cat.” Sylvia corrected Vann’s pseudonym.
“No way… Am I Miss M? She wanted to say, Masochist? Sylvia-sama is Miss S? Sadistic? Is this just a coincidence?” Mio muttered under her breath from the driver’s seat.
“Hehe~ We’re almost at Tokyo International Airport. I hope your grandfather doesn’t prepare a flashy military plane for us, Erina.” Elysia looked at the airport outside the window.
