'Eh, ah, umm... Are you going to seal my power like before? If so I don't have any power, how can I protect myself?' Elysia tried to reason with this Mysterious God.
'Then you can cultivate from the start to recharge your strength from zero. But, you should only use the natural resources or what is in this world. Otherwise, I will interfere again. You have a myriad of dangerous weapons in that white bag, right? You will be fully responsible for everything you do. I never sleep and am omniscient in this world.' The Earth God pointed the obvious.
'Ugh, fine. But, can you seal my power after I go to a nearby civilization?' Elysia knew that she couldn't ask for more for the common good.
'No, you have greatly endangered the energy of nature, the atmosphere, the world, the cosmos, and even the solar system. Please understand, every time you use your divine magic, something untoward will happen. So, please only use magic from what you get in this world even if it's only temporary.' The Earth God immediately refused, but that sounded like a plea instead.
'B-but why? My magic harms everyone?' Elysia gaped in astonishment. Wouldn't she be a living disaster on Earth if it was like that?
'That's because your magic energy and laws are from another world. It was the same as the two people in the Arctic Region. If you are afraid of being found out because of that eye-catching golden angel dress, then I will help to send you to the nearest developed city.' The Earth God provides a solution to today's problems.
'Okay...' Elysia scratched her head as she didn't really understand the matter. Even so, the reasoning was quite reasonable, and all she needed to do was cultivate from scratch.
Elysia immediately deactivated Elena's divine angel battlesuit and changed her body to Elysia's form. After that, she revoked her absolute barrier and let the energy thread form a black rune ring on her forearm.
At the same time, all of her EP's instantly turned blank. Elysia heaved a subtle sigh as she felt like she had lost 99.99% of her strength. She was just a powerless girl now, right?
'All right, it's all settled now. Are you ready for me to send to the nearest developed city? If so, please get out of there and stand on top of the cliff.' The Earth God was relieved and happy at the same time.
'Um, fine. But, can I speak telepathically to you after this. I mean, is it only you who can contact me, but not the other way around?' Elysia went out from her hiding place and stood as if waiting for something.
'No, you can only talk to me when I think it's necessary. You can't open a conversation with me as you please.' The Earth God replied casually.
'Hehe, then we just need to remove the flawed seal and you can talk to the so-called Earth God, Ely.' Elena came up with a brilliant idea.
'Ooh~' Elysia dropped her fist onto her open palm in realization. She had not thought of such a simple solution before.
'Ah, uhh... Please don't do that. Okay, okay, you can talk through this telepathic channel if you feel it's necessary. All you have to do is shout about the title you use to refer to me on this channel. I'll try to connect the conversation. But, only if it's needed. Do you understand?' The Earth God was truly desperate. He was so overwhelmed with this Goddess' other personality.
'Well, that's good if you understand.' Elena snorted softly.
'Alright, please be prepared for a quick trip.' The Earth God gave a warning.
A white cloth suddenly fell from the sky and wrapped Elysia like a cocoon.
"Eh?" Elysia was a little surprised about what the Earth God was trying to accomplish by doing this. Still, she didn't have the chance to ask or break free from the entanglement of the cloth before a tornado suddenly appeared nearby.
"Aaaa! Hmpf!" Elysia was sucked into the tornado, but her screams were instantly muffled by the white cloth.
It was a very harrowing ten-minute journey. The landing was also pretty bad, even though Elysia was unharmed. She was literally just sent somewhere by a tornado and thrown onto a beach. Fortunately, the mysterious white cloth really protected her.
'Okay, that's all from me. Good night.' The Earth God bid his farewell.
"..." Elysia just lay there looking up at the starry night sky. She then checked that the white cloth had turned to ashes.
"Terrible and heartless. Is that the way an Earth God treats a polite and courteous guest like me?" Elysia muttered with a very pale face. No one ever thought she would be sent flying in one of those terrifying natural disasters.
'Ely, let's unseal us and teach that Earth God a lesson so he can't act arbitrarily to us.' Elena whispered like an evil devil asking for revenge.
'Uhm, better not... What the Earth God said earlier might be true. Our magic can harm this world, and I don't want to invite catastrophe.' Elysia used her advanced perception to look around.
Fortunately, there was no one there. So, it was safe. The tornado might scare everyone away from this beach. The tornado idea wasn't too bad, apparently.
'Then we shall cultivate and teach him a lesson with this world energy. Uh, wait a minute. We can maybe ask Rhea for help later. One of her divine laws is nature, right? Huehehe, this will be fun.' Elena rubbed her hands together with an evil laugh.
Elysia didn't answer. She looked at the turquoise bracelet on her right wrist. Rhea was there, and she didn't know the current state of her Patron Goddess.
'Ely, quickly get away from there because some people might find you. If possible, you can disguise yourself because this world is not very kind to helpless beautiful girls.' Elena suggested with concern. They could find out about Rhea's condition later, once everything was under control.
'Okay.' Elysia immediately stood up and jogged to get away from the beach.
She didn't even know where she was now but could identify that she was on an island in Japan because there were a lot of signboards in Japanese.
Elysia took some cloth from her Space Bag and tried to disguise herself. She even wrapped her breasts to make them look flat before she wore a random blue suit that she found on the side of the road.
She was also wearing a mask, hat, and sunglasses. Well, many things were blown by the tornado on the beach. So, it was easy to find many random kinds of stuff. No one would know if she was a beautiful girl now.
'Phew... Fortunately, I changed my form before our powers were sealed. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to disguise your body, Sister Elena.' Elysia wiped her sweat.
'Eh, why is that, Ely?' Elena blinked her eyes a few times because she didn't quite understand.
'You are a heavenly golden angel, ethereal beauty with peerless appearance. No matter what disguise I will use, it will be very difficult to outsmart your charm.'Elysia replied with a playful tone.
'Ah, your tongue is so good at praising. Thank you.' Elena smiled happily to hear Elysia's praise.
'Hehe...' Elysia chuckled as well and walked away.
'Where are we going, Ely? Do you want to cultivate with our resources, or do you want to find some of this world's resources?' Elena asked curiously.
'We need to sell some gold first on the black market. Everything costs money in this world. We can buy some resources, but I don't know where we can get them... I didn't know this world really had an era of magic in the past.' Elysia loosened her shoulders and sighed.
'Well, you're right. We need several tens of thousands of Yen to live and fly to a country far in the north as well. Sylvi and Vanessa must be really worried about us. We need to find them immediately.' Elena also sighed as she also understood Elysia was worrying about many things right now.
'Yeah, we don't have ID cards either. We will be considered as illegal immigrants if we use a plane to fly to a country in the north.' Elysia looked up at the sky while thinking.
'Uhm, this is a rather complicated matter. Do you have a solution, Ely? Can we get some on the black market?' Elena also felt confused.
'Not a black market, but a black agency. They will complete their task perfectly as long as the pay is appropriate, right? I've used their services once during my first visit to Japan. To make a fake ID card that is no different from the original is not difficult, right?' Elysia could only think of one solution. Making an official ID card was not easy after all.
'Nice! I'm sure they can do it. But, at that time, you hired their services to find someone's full profile data, right?' Elena sounded excited, but there were hints of annoyance in her words.
'Yeah, I used to use the services of an undercover agent to find all the information about the woman I once trusted. The one who had betrayed me so bitterly. She who once took all my hard work from me.' Elysia looked up at the sky again. For some reason, she didn't feel anything when she said that, as if she already had a new life, no longer bound to the pain of the past.
'...' Elena was silent as she didn't want to spoil the mood.
A moment later, a gray van approached and stopped nearby. A burly man opened the car window and shouted. "What are you doing there, Akira? Get in the car quickly. We have a client waiting for us! The tornado has miraculously disappeared, let's go or our client will be furious."
"Eh?" Elysia was stunned in shock.. Luckily, she could speak Japanese and understood what the big man said. However, did he mistake her for someone else?
