Chapter 417: Save the World?
"Here, you can try this one. It\'s sweet and savory but won\'t dry out your throat." Yuuki gave a chocolate biscuit to the little fairy. It was delicious, but she didn\'t forget to share it with her fellow foodies.
"Mm, thanks. Maybe you\'re new to this, but whatever Ely cooks is always delicious." Nell took the biscuit and devoured it.
"Ely?" Yuuki glanced at the Goddess, then back at the little fairy. She asked for a confirmation.
"Mm, yes. Didn\'t Ely introduce herself and us to you earlier in the hot spring?" Nell didn\'t hesitate to enlighten the clueless.
"Oh! Ye, the Goddess Ely! I had the honor of meeting a divine being, and am even now blessed to know her name. Full of gratitude to my good fortune and wonderful destiny." Yuuki clasped her hands together with a grateful expression.
Hearing that, Nell just rolled her eyes and looked to the side. This snow fox girl was already that happy to know there was one divine being, then how about four? Wouldn\'t this girl be overwhelmed by then?
Yuuki and Nell continued their brief conversation. All that Yuuki knew, this little fairy was Helen. At that moment, they both realized that they had finished all the dishes on the table.
They even forgot and left absolutely nothing to the one who made all of it!
"Ah, oh no. These pastries and tofu soup are so delicious that I unknowingly ate them all! I-" Yuuki wore a pleading and guilty expression. She asked the divine for forgiveness.
Yet, Elysia immediately cut off Yuuki\'s words because the apology was unnecessary. "It\'s okay, Yuuki. I\'m glad that all the dishes have been gratefully enjoyed. However, next time, please pay attention to your dining table etiquette. You are a girl who is required to look elegant. Got it?"
"Next time? Yes, I\'ll pay attention to my etiquette!" Yuuki\'s eyes lit up to hear that. So, the divine would visit her often, right!?
"Allow me to wash all this." Yuuki was so excited inside her heart. She immediately tidied up all the plates and cutlery, then took them to the kitchen.
\'Ah, I have a pretty great idea. This snow fox girl will probably help us quite a lot with her extreme ice cold ability. Would you like to hear it, Ely?\' Elena got inspiration as she watched the snow fox girl walk away.
\'I\'m all ears, please tell me.\' Elysia became interested and put down her teacup.
\'Do you remember, we\'re still going to help the Sea God, Oceanids, yes?\' Elena smiled a little subconsciously because she was too excited about her own idea. She got a slight nod from Elysia.
\'That Oceanids now numbered three thousand forms that were deliberately split for some reason, and half of them were himself who had been contaminated with the curses. Ahem, to make it simple, the super duper fast ability to freeze seawater will be enough to help us to simplify the emergency rescue operation. What do you think, Ely?\' Elena\'s eyes gleamed as she asked for Elysia\'s opinion.
"The Sea God Oceanids have an elemental form like water. He\'s just like the water spirit. Nell has confirmed that. Mm, yes, I think your idea is very good, Sister Elena. Let\'s get Yuuki to go with us after this." Elysia immediately understood the benefits of Yuuki\'s ability for the next event.
However, she remembered that Yuuki\'s extreme cold ability was still raw and not yet honed. Yuuki still couldn\'t control that ability at will.
The moment Elysia thought about that flaw, Elena also understood what Elysia was worried about. But, she also came up with a backup idea. \'If this snow fox girl can\'t do that, then we just have to throw her into an ocean full of monsters and Oceanids. I\'m sure she\'ll freeze everything and make things easier for us, hehe...\' Elena smirked viciously, but she covered her mouth.
Yuuki got a cold wind out of nowhere and gave her goosebumps for no reason. She looked left and right in confusion, then just rubbed the back of her neck.
\'That- that\'s a bit cruel for Yuuki. I\'m sure she\'ll hate you if you\'re really going to throw her into the ocean, Sister Elena.\' Elysia couldn\'t bear to let that happen.
\'Then she better not disappoint us before I throw her into the ocean. You know, Ely. A person will exceed their limits when there is pressure or a threat that comes crashing down. You know it very well because you have experienced it over and over again.\' Elena wore a stern attitude and didn\'t feel sorry for it when it came to serious matters.
\'Mm, all right, I will assist Yuuki so that she can help us to the best of her ability.\' Elysia only added a helping hand because it seemed like Elena was already convinced by the decision.
\'Then it\'s decided!\' Elena gave a wink.
A few moments later, Vanessa contacted Elysia via spirit bonding path telepathy. Elysia just gave the direction of her position, then a bunch of little beasts went to the meeting location.
As soon as the six beasts arrived. They were roaming here and there to inspect every corner of the room like a pet\'s curious behavior.
Yuuki became the one with the most trouble because it was her room! Everything got quite messy because of the little beasts.
However, when a delicious fragrance came to attack their sense of smell, they all immediately lined up in front of Elysia as if they were waiting for a delicious meal.
"Here, this is for you guys. Enjoy. Zach, Jimmy, can you eat and drink with your current body?" Elysia put the jumbo size food rations for the six beasts on the floor because the table was too small.
"I\'m sure I can enjoy the pleasures of eating and drinking. It\'s been tried and tested, I drank hot spring water and it all disappeared somewhere. Maybe, absorbed into my Energy Core?" Jimmy patted his chest proudly. He also got a nod of approval from his father.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Please enjoy, but please pay attention to your eating etiquette to keep it tidy." Elysia sat back down beside Elena to watch the six beasts eat voraciously. They did look like five pet cats and an ordinary tortoise.
"Fwuhh, aren\'t they very docile and submissive to you, Goddess Ely? I thought my house was going to collapse just now." Yuuki dropped onto the bed and lay on her stomach.
"You just have to be nice to them, and they\'ll appreciate it in their own way. I\'m sure it\'s a natural instinct for all living things." Elysia smiled a little and stroked Vanessa on the head.
She then tried to stroke the other beasts, and to her surprise, no one was opposed to that. So, her word was indeed proven true.
"Is that so, it\'s new knowledge for me. All I know, beasts will be docile and obedient if there is food placed as a reward." Yuuki glanced up and recalled the beasts in the northern mountains.
"Grr, have you finished your portion, bro? You\'re eating really fast, but I won\'t give you my bowl. You need to act like a bro and ask the almighty Goddess for a second serving." Jimmy shifted his jumbo bowl away from Gio. He suggested in simple beast language.
Meanwhile, Gio just moved his head closer to the bowl next to him. But, he immediately understood what he needed to do. For that, he went to his divine master for the second portion as suggested.
Some time passed after that. When the stomach was filled with the delish, then the mind became tranquil and calm.
Elysia took advantage of the atmosphere to invite Yuuki according to Elena\'s idea. "Nee, Yuuki, would you mind to go with us to see the outside world? You don\'t have to worry about your extreme ice cold ability raging uncontrollably."
Yuuki gasped, and her eyes widened in surprise at the offer. But, she remembered the previous plan. "That is a very attractive offer, Goddess Ely. However, aren\'t you going to appoint me as the guardian of this place? I need to make this cave an ultra amazing place that will welcome you every time you visit the world."
"It\'s just a changeable plan. Do you intend to live alone forever? It\'s scary and I can\'t imagine it. You\'re the one who knows best about it, right?" Elysia answered with a gentle smile.
"..." Yuuki went silent and reflected on what she had been through in her life.
If it needed to be said, she had no definite purpose and lived only to live to see tomorrow, and so on.
Living alone, enjoying the day alone, and dying alone... Alone, alone... That echoed in Yuuki\'s lonely mind.
Perhaps, no one cared if she was there or not. Her mother, her only family, even threw her away. If she died, was there someone who would cry and pray for her? But, this invitation, the divine needed her for something? But what?
"The world is getting chaotic and danger is imminent. You may not know this, but the inevitable day is near. Will you come with us to save the world?" Elysia stretched out her hand with a smile and gentle expression. She hoped the invitation would work.
On the other hand, Yuuki became stunned to stare at the angelic face of the Goddess. It was lovely, beautiful, benevolent, noble, and many more things she could say to describe the noble Goddess before her eyes.
Save the world, those three words echoed in her mind. It was foolish of her to doubt the divine plan. She should have dedicated herself and worshiped the divine as a faithful servant.
Many thoughts ran through Yuuki\'s mind. Yet, a decision had been made because of the outstretched hand before her.
