Chapter 147: Weekend Vacation
"Ah, um, no it's okay, I'm fine." Elysia immediately took a step back from the girl who was standing too close to her.
"Um, if you say that..." Sylvia didn't feel like anything was wrong. Her friend blushed and returned to normal somehow.
Yet, at the same time, she sensed a fluctuation in magic energy behind her. Sylvia turned back to check. It was not from her father but from the hut that belonged to an alchemist they had just visited a while ago.
A brownish semi-transparent barrier of the earth element was suddenly erected that enveloped the entire hut.
"Oh, wow. An Advanced level alchemist with Saint-level barrier protection. Who is he really?" Sylvia muttered in amazement. Their client from the quest just now wasn't a simple alchemist.
"We don't know, we just need to wait until the statement he declared is realized."
"I suppose so too, he confidently said such an ambitious thing." Sylvia shrugged her shoulders. She was no longer interested in the alchemist because she would know the answer sooner or later.
"Then let me excuse myself, Lys, Mr. Nalyd. If your arrival to this continent is not what I thought it would be, then I can sigh with relief. Thank you for letting me know." Elysia expressed her gratitude politely.
"Ah, don't think about that problem. We are good devils, you can hold us responsible if there is bad news from the deeds of devils around the areas we visit." Sylvia shook her head slowly while waving her hand.
She knew very well why Aisyle was willing to come on her adventure. Aisyle just wanted to observe in a peaceful way the two devils who unexpectedly came to this continent, named herself and her father.
There was nothing wrong with that because their aim was nothing more than just to have fun and play as adventurers to explore the Human Continent. Sylvia didn't care about her new friend's excuses or anything else. She was just glad Aisyle was willing to come on this adventure.
Their identities were exposed to this point that made Sylvia somewhat happy and relieved because she didn't have to pretend anymore. That was also true for Aisyle.
"En, I will reply to your message at regular intervals, see you tomorrow." Elysia waved her hand for her farewell, but before she could approach Vanessa to leave, Dylan suddenly stood in front of her.
"Ah, um, is there something?" She felt a little hesitant because Dylan seemed about to say something.
"Tomorrow my daughter and I will spend time together, for something that is not dangerous or you need to worry about. You can join us again the day after tomorrow, sounds good?" Dylan specified his plan, but it was new to Sylvia because she didn't even know about it!
Sylvia had a hunch that most likely proved correct, about her father that still wanted to explore the extra-large lake in the Avrora Forest.
To what extent did he intend to dig and make the deep lake deeper? The nearly seven hours of fruitless exploration since this morning didn't make him give up? She had to accompany and help her father tomorrow for a full day? In her mind, Sylvia questioned that while praying to her Goddess friend who suddenly came to mind, hoping it was just her guess that was wrong.
"Oh! Vacation together at the weekend? Lys has already said, about the two of you being responsible for your every action. If that's true, then I'm glad to hear it." Elysia clapped her hands together as if she understood the meaning of this Devil Emperor.
"Yes, we're not looking for trouble. At least not for now." Dylan conveyed his guarantee, but the last sentence was not spoken with his mouth.
"That's great! Hope you two have a good time at the weekend, see you later, Lys."
"Ye, yes. See you again, Ais. Don't forget, our chat." Sylvia waved her hand in return.
"Okay, rest assured."
As soon as Elysia said that, Dylan immediately revoked his soundproof barrier to let the white tiger fly away with the human girl.
Sylvia kept waving her hand until her friend was out of sight behind the clouds, then she looked at her father. There were things she had to confirm. "Father, could it be that weekend vacation that was mentioned just a moment ago... It was for the big lake?"
"You guessed it right, my daughter. Sometimes you know me better than myself." Dylan expressed his amazement. Sometimes he felt his daughter could read his mind, even though he knew it was impossible.
"Huh? Of course, you are sometimes predictable for matters that are not too complicated! That, will it be all day?"
"How about starting from early morning until night falls. Hmm, we will play from the rising of the sun until it turns into the moon." Dylan stroked his chin, conveying what he felt was a very reasonable estimate.
"Wait, what! That, that, it was more than half a day! Father, you..." Sylvia was shocked. Her guess was all right. However, she had not finished delivering her protest or throwing her tantrums. Her father swiftly and proudly interrupted.
"Yeah, I know you're as excited as I feel for tomorrow. Well then, aren't you going to visit the guild in Larnwick City to join in on the fun? Then, let's go." After saying that casually and eloquently, Dylan flew towards the sky slowly.
"Hey, wait, I'm not done with my protests! You're always like this, making decisions but my responses are ignored, humph!" Sylvia threw her final tantrum helplessly, then flew up into the sky to catch up with him, her father had decided, and she could just go with it.
Tomorrow would just be filled by playing in the water and digging under the water. Then, never forget to make sure there were no eyewitnesses on that day. Maybe, just exchanging messages with Ais would make her mood better in tomorrow's boredom.
Meanwhile, just as two devils flew side by side towards the branch guild in the nearby town to join in on the fun... Elysia had already arrived at a small forest near the capital in the Holy Central Region.
Elysia changed her adventurous robe into her academy uniform. Simultaneously, Vanessa transformed into her tiny form once again, then nestled into her master's arms.
A girl with a cat sneaked into the city in invisible magic without anyone noticing them. Elysia didn't halt anywhere else but hurried to her dorm room.
"Phew, we've finally arrived." Elysia sighed with relief. Her dorm building was already in front of her.
'Fufu... That's good for you, Ely.'
'We're on time, master. Now it's time for our dinner.'
Elena and Vanessa relayed their responses to Elysia, but the latter couldn't hear the former, not the other way around.
'Un, it's already 6 o'clock in the evening. We'll make our dinner taste great. What would you like to eat, Vann?' Not an answer aimed at one, Elysia replied both of them at once.
'Pizza! With lots of meat and fish!' The white cat announced a new menu that now entered her favorite food list with great enthusiasm.
'Okay.' Elysia nodded in agreement, then entered a hidden alley and revoked her invisible magic.
After checking the was safe location with her advanced perception, Elysia casually walked towards the dorm building.
"Oh, you came back a little late for the weekend night, young girl." The dorm lady greeted Elysia with a warm smile.
"Ah, good evening, ma'am. Please forgive me, I had a few things to deal with before I could return." Elysia gave her greeting to the middle-aged woman who guarded the AA dorm building.
"Hmm, hmm, you don't need to apologize or make any excuses, young girl. It's your activity, and I just greet you. Just call me Dory, most students call me Lady Dory."
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Lady Dory. Then, I shall excuse myself first." After delivering her last greeting, Elysia left the dorm lady after receiving a nod from her.
Dory looked at Elysia for a moment, then went back to reading the book she was holding on the table.
*clack*
Elysia opened the door to her dorm room with her card, and a moment after that, various scents hit her nose as soon as she entered.
She immediately headed into the living room, and sure enough, Evelyn and Ella were making something in the kitchen.
"Hmm, we just made a pizza without Ely's help or instructions. However, it was still missing something, and this one is the same." Evelyn tasted a second trial pizza she made with Ella.
"Un, I guess so. Does Ely have a secret technique? I think we made it the same way and with the same ingredients. This one is the same as our pizza this afternoon." Ella nodded in agreement, she still felt something was missing, but she didn't know.
The two of them had been spending time in their little hobby of cooking since this afternoon. Started by making a trial pizza, bought a lot of groceries, and came back at dusk to try one more time, but it became the same as the first try.
