"Uhm, hng..." Elysia squirmed a little, and her breathing became irregular due to the sleep disturbance.
"Hehe, Ely, this is what you did to me yesterday, right?" Elena stroked the sleeping girl's ear and also gave a tickle.
"Ely, come on, wake up, you sleepy head. I will count to three. If you don't wake up, I will kiss you~" Elena whispered softly in Elysia's ear. Then, she exhaled a subtle breath there.
"Ah-huh..." Elysia's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
"One." Elena started counting nevertheless. She also brought her face closer to Elysia's with a playful smile on her face.
Seeing the interaction of the two girls, Rhea felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to look the other way, but she wanted to know whether Elena would wake Elysia with a kiss or not. What a surprise, Elena was so mischievous and nosy to Elysia.
"Two." Elena kept counting.
"Uhm... Fuaah, mm..." Elysia woke up and opened her eyes even though her vision was still a little blurry.
"Three. Oops, time's up, Ely." Elena covered her mouth.
"Uh-eh? What, your face is too close, master. What do you want to do to me?" Elysia instantly blushed. Even so, she didn't move or run away.
"What will I do, hmm? Maybe, kiss you? Prepare yourself, Ely~" Elena teased Elysia and brought her face closer to the blushed girl.
Elysia was still light-headed and too confused to do anything. She was still quite limp because it might be a temporary side effect of the evolution after advancing to level forty.
Because of that, Elysia just closed her eyes and let what might happen to her resignedly.
One second, two seconds, and three. But, nothing happened after that.
Elysia opened her eyes slightly to peek. Elena's face was right in front of her, about a centimeter.
"Hehe, it's really satisfying to see you blush. You look so seductive and enchanting. Did you really expect to get a good morning kiss from me, Ely? Too bad, are you feeling disappointed?" Elena smiled mischievously and pressed her index finger on Elysia's lips.
"You, really, naughty girl. Let me teach you a lesson!" Elysia's face flushed red because she was too embarrassed to give any reason. She immediately propelled her body and gave a counterattack to Elena to cover her embarrassment.
"Ah, what do you want to do, Ely?" Elena asked meekly. Now, she was on the bottom, lying on the bed, and Elysia was on top of her.
Elysia blushed more and more to realize their position was a bit ambiguous. Even so, she was just trying to hide her embarrassment because it was an occasion where she needed to retaliate so that she wasn't always at the receiving end.
"What am I going to do? Who knows, I wonder too." Elysia smiled brightly, but it was the opposite of what she was doing. Her hands went down to Elena's armpits and gave a tickle.
"Uh, ah, uh, fufu, haha, Ely. Ooh, you really are the naughty one, and you call me naughty girl. Ahaha, uu..." Elena couldn't do anything but squirm and laugh helplessly. She also couldn't run away because Elysia was still on top of her.
Rhea blushed slightly to see that, and she immediately covered her face with both hands. However, she peeked from between her fingers to watch Elysia and Elena's behavior on the bed.
It was only lasted no more than half a minute. Elysia got up from Elena and the bed.
She rubbed her face and did a little stretching. When she looked around, she received a little surprised because the place was so foreign to her.
An open bedroom under a clear sky with fresh air. It was as if that bedroom was floating above the sky and clouds. Was it heaven?
"Huhu, Ely, you really have no mercy. I was only teasing you after taking care of you, and this is what I got?" Elena wiped her non-existent tears and pretended to be an unfortunate victim.
"Then I'm also just teasing you. Anyway, where are we now?" Elysia rolled her eyes and applied magic to help her blood rush to reduce her blush.
"We're in Nell's Firmament Realm. Oh yeah, Rhea, how many hours have Ely and I been asleep?" Elena propelled her body from the bed.
Rhea glanced at Elysia, then at Elena. It was a rare opportunity for her to see Elena blush. Even so, she immediately put everything aside to deal with the current topic. "I'm glad to see you back in good health, Master Elena, Master Elysia. You rested for four hours and two and twenty-five minutes."
"Thanks for taking care and looking after us, Rhea." Elysia was on the edge of the bed, next to Elena, and expressed her appreciation.
"It's my pleasure to help, Master Elysia. If I may ask, what happened to you two? You suddenly become exhausted and suddenly need quality rest. Are there any side effects after giving aid to the ninety-seven Oceanids? In that case, you need to recover your magic first before doing anything else." Rhea simply put her worries into words.
"Ah, umm, sorry to make you worry, Rhea. But, we're fine. We just leveled up and need a little rest. Or maybe, we're just quite exhausted? Whatever it is, there is no backlash or bad effect." Elysia folded her hands in her lap with a hint of guilt.
"Level up? Uhm, I'm relieved to hear that. Also, you don't need to apologize, Master Elysia. I just want to know and at the same time make sure nothing bad happens." Rhea scratched her head and then waved her hand in front of her face.
Elysia didn't say anything else and just gave a tender smile. She tried to peek at Rhea's status screen then at hers for comparison.
[| Lv. 231 | Goddess of Nature | Rhea | Female (N/A) | HP: 5,411,900 / 5,411,900 | EP: 7,223,100 / 7,223,100 |]
[| STR: 693 | AGI: 654 | VIT: 54 | INT: 886 |]
[| Lv. 40 | Apprentice Mage | Elysia Avery | Female (16) | HP: 6,400 / 6,400 | EP: 4,499e+9 / - |]
[| STR: 5 | AGI: 26 | VIT: 7 | INT: 5,025 |]
'Rhea really is an overpowered Goddess, I assume. This kind of number even though only recovered about sixty percent towards peak conditions. As expected of a Goddess ranked third of the Divine Order... Compared to that, my status, huff...' Elysia sighed in thought as it reminded her of how weak she was.
'Ely, a person's strength is not measured by how big the number in their status is. And again, I presume that Rhea received some kind of buffs. Nell's blessing magic is still there. But, well, if we ignore Rhea's huge flaws, I won't deny that she is indeed a super-duper strong Goddess.' Elena gave a little advice because maybe Elysia felt a little disappointed to see the results after they had advanced to level forty.
'Let's look on the bright side. Our INT has increased by 25 points, and HP has increased by 500 points. While others rose 1 point. But, we still need to pay attention to our EP consumption, Ely. We've already lost two values before e plus nine. More than two billion, we need to find a replacement immediately for our recovery. If we let this continue, we're just going to spend our EP dry.' Elena immediately reminded Elysia to shift their focus back to the topic of their concern.
'Mm, got it, Sister Elena.' Elysia nodded in understanding. Then, she remembered her friends and the others. "Uhm, what are Nell and the others doing now? Should we head back to the outside world now? But, how do we tell Nell to open her Private Realm's portal for us?"
"Eh?" Rhea just realized that. Needless to say, she couldn't tell her little sister from inside Private Realm.
"That's such an easy matter to solve, Ely. You just need to telepathically send using your spirit connection with Nell. After all, she's already registered as err… Your foster disciple, right?" Elena glanced up slightly.
"Oh, that's true too. Please wait a moment. I will tell Nell to open a portal for us." Elysia dropped her fist onto her open palm.
After that, she closed her eyes and sent telepathy to Nell via their spirit connection. 'Nell, can you hear me? Can you open your Private Realm's portal for us to exit?'
'Eh? Ely, is that you? Are you and Elena feeling better? If needed, it's fine if you guys rest a little longer. Please don't force yourself to return to activities.' Nell felt a little relieved to hear Elysia's sweet voice in her mind.
'We're fine, just need to recover our magic energy. What are you and the others doing out there? Has everyone left that misty black sea and returned to the safe zone?' Elysia asked with some concern.
'Currently, we are in the underwater region of the southern part of the Aquatic Ocean. We're not facing any danger, just a small tour and pick up a few Oceanid avatars.' Nell looked to the right and left reflexively.
'Huh? You guide everyone to go on an underwater tour without us? Are you having fun without us? Hmph, you really don't have any sense of camaraderie when we're sick, little one. Even your big sister Rhea is excluded.' Elena suddenly infiltrated the telepathic connection through Elysia. She voiced her protest with much dissatisfaction.
'Eh, ah, that's not what I meant. This is not my decision but based on voting and support from Oceanid. I am completely innocent!' Nell immediately defended herself in a panic. She didn't want to be considered a meanie by Elena, Elysia, and her big sister.
'It's just your excuse. Quickly open the portal now, or you will be responsible for my bad mood. Nee, Ely, what should we give as punishment to this little Goddess? She just went out to have fun after making us work hard to the point of exhaustion.' Elena gave an order and snorted. She started to think of a thousand and one ways to bully the little Goddess.
