Chapter 503 - Improvement And Development

"You are so afraid of your father? Wouldn't it be better if you told him your heart? Your wishes, reasons and hopes. He might understand." Elysia nodded slightly. It reminded her of the devil, who was so stubborn and selfish.

"You have no idea what my father might do to me, Ely. He won't listen to anything and will definitely punish me straight away. Uuh, last time, he slapped my ass until I couldn't do anything and sealed my magic so I couldn't recover from the pain." Sylvia held her friend's arm anxiously.

"Ooh, um, more or less, it's father's sadistic treatment. Well, if you want, I can help you talk to him." Elysia was taken back. Yet, she sympathized and offered a solution of help.

"Yay! I know you are my bestie, Ely. I promise to listen to all your orders, but please don't leave me behind, okay?" Sylvia became excited instantly and hugged Elysia tightly.

"Uhm, fine, we'll see the situation and condition. But, I'll be angry if you become a naughty girl next time." Elysia patted Sylvia's back and squirmed a little to free herself from the tight hug.

"Mkay~" Realizing the signal, Sylvia loosened her arms and allowed Elysia to stand up.

"Sylvi, yo-you, your dress..." Elysia immediately blushed fiercely to look at the devil girl's state.

Her focus was diverted due to worry and other things. She failed to notice that Sylvia was currently only clad in what couldn't be said to be a dress anymore.

"Oh, cute." Sylvia smiled in satisfaction and slightly puffed out her chest to see her friend's adorable reaction.

She then looked down to check her dress. Well, no wonder why her friend blushed. Her dress looked more like underwear or the female elf revealing clothing because it was torn here and there. "Hm, some of my dresses are already damaged because I accidentally got into some annoying traps."

"Uhm, well... Let me help you to your feet. Can you tell us what just happened? Err, starting with how you escaped from Gio, Yuuki, and the others' surveillance all the way here." Elysia reached out her hand to help Sylvia to stand up.

Then, Sylvia began to tell about her little story from the safe island to this maze. Also, about what had happened to her after coming here.

"..." Elysia, Elena, and Rhea were at a loss for words.

They didn't know what was on Sylvia's mind, but this devil girl was indeed the spoiled yet air-headed little one who didn't think about any risks at all! It was all just driven by feeling left out of sheer fun and curiosity!?

Even so, they took seriously what almost happened to Sylvia. This devil girl was nearly turned into a living puppet by the so-called black-purple demon.

"People of your category seem to only need supervision, not lectures or punishment..." Elysia murmured under her breath and sighed. She then glanced at the sealed room where Nell and Oceanid were taking care of that armored man.

There was no more commotion or the tiny earthquakes.

'So, the battle is over?' Elysia wondered.

'The two of them are interrogating the one Sylvia calls the black-purple demon.' Rhea telepathically answered and picked up the broken silver cannon from the ground to examine it.

"It's broken and doesn't seem like it can be used again even if it's repaired..." Sylvia picked up the muzzle part of her cannon. It was such a valuable ultimate weapon, but it broke on its first debut.

"Are you sure about that? Wait until the Goddess of Blessings returns and you- or, you can ask Ely to repair this for you." Rhea paused and glanced at Elysia with a sweet smile. She remembered how Elysia played the role of the Goddess of Light in Beast Continent.

"Really?" Sylvia's eyes lit up. She then clasped Elysia's hands with a pleading face. "Ely, can you repair my cannon?"

"Ah, umm, I can. It just broke a while ago, didn't it? Oh, we just need to stick this piece together and it'll be as good as new." Elysia checked the silver cannon pieces once more. It just split in half and could easily be fixed if she tried.

"Hum-mm, thank you! My father will be furious if he finds out the Disintegrator Cannon codename 01 has been damaged in my hands. This must be repaired as soon as possible. Ely, please help me!" Sylvia clasped her hands together to plead.

"Okay, please put that on the ground and see what I can do." Elysia ordered, and it was done right away. She then tried to reconnect the two halves of the cannon into a unified whole as if it had never been damaged before.

Meanwhile, Elena just looked at Sylvia in silence. She thought for a moment about the trouble this devil girl might cause. After all, this devil girl dared to disobey Elysia's orders.

'It's okay, Sister Elena. Sylvia is just a sheltered girl who is almost like a big baby. She can be rebellious at times, but her nature can be corrected if watched and reminded with stern yet gentle words.' Elysia tried to reassure as she knew what Elena had in mind.

'Seems like it can be done since this devil girl seems to look up to you, Ely. Let's educate this third friend of yours to be a useful individual in order to avoid potential unnecessary trouble in the future.' Elena felt it was a good idea but from a different perspective.

'Why are you saying as if you weren't involved. You are the one who pushed me to have friends here. So, my friends are your friends too.' Elysia answered using a childish yet playful tone.

'Oh, uhm, sure. Why not? My teaching has given quite satisfying and sweet results. Your improvement already looks good, but we need to do some more improvement and you'll be the perfect personality.' Elena didn't mind if it was calculated like that.

'Hehe thank you. But, looks like we also need to do some development for you, Sister Elena.' Elysia smiled mysteriously. She had just finished repairing Sylvia's silver cannon, and she gave it to its owner. "Here, it's as good as new."

"Woaaa, thank you! You are truly versatile, Ely. Is it possible that you are a Goddess too? I've heard Yuuki refer to you as Goddess Ely." Sylvia received her cannon and embraced it while muttering casually.

"Hehe..." Elysia only replied with a light chuckle.

'Ely, what do you mean by your statement just now? What development do you mean? My well-developed body need more development? Haven't you been checking in and taking advantage of me, hum? Are you still not satisfied with me?' Elena asked in a teasing tone.

Fortunately, Elena and Elysia's conversation was in their particular private connection. Otherwise, Rhea, Nell, and Oceanid would probably be gaping in surprise.

'Hehe, what I meant was your mischievous nature at times. Occasionally, your misbehavior can get out of control to the point of bullying. I can't just let this go on and on. Don't worry, I'll be there to pull the reins and remind you~' Elysia went beside Elena and gave a sweet smile.

'Huh? Do you hate my behavior, Ely?' Elena raised her eyebrow and avoided looking into Elysia's eyes.

'Is it like that, hmm? I love you as you love me because you are always with me. As far as I know, my guardian angel is the perfect one in my mind. I just want you to remain a noble and perfect individual for me. Let's think of this as my attempt to repay your kindness to help me overcome my weakness, Sister Elena.' Elysia closed her clarification with a dazzling smile.

"..." Elena went silent, but she blushed and pouted slightly to glance at Elysia's sparkling expression.

She felt as if a pang had just shaken her spirit. Elysia was sincerely expecting herself to be well-behaved? It was a bit underhanded. If Elysia looked at her with such a gaze and such gentle words, *Rumble*

.

Despite that, Elysia's smile truly dazzled the stunned Elena. She decided to turn around and muttered in a mosquito-like voice. 'All right, anything for you, Ely. But, you sound like my parent now.'

'Hmm-mm? It's fine if you want to be my big baby, o the daughter of mine.' Elysia giggled in a playful voice.

Elena and Elysia then exchanged a few more words in their minds.

Meanwhile, Rhea just stared at Elysia and Elena in silence.

"???" Rhea had a lot of question marks in her mind. She didn't know what was going on between Elena and Elysia. Still, it seemed like it was their private conversation about some secret matters. Even so, she somehow could sense a good omen was coming.

*Rumble*

The debris that sealed the entrance suddenly moved to open a path.

Nell and Oceanid casually exited the room, but their expressions were a little heavy. Oceanid dragged a human-sized blue cocoon as if it were just a garbage bag, while Nell simply flew to her big sister.

"You despicable creatures! You speak out for justice and kindness, yet you attack me in a gang!? Don't you have shame and dignity? Two Gods against me alone? Duh, guh, burgh!" The blue cocoon writhed in protest. However, something entered his mouth.

"Hmm?" Elysia and Elena immediately looked at the source of the voice more closely. A boy's head stuck out on the underside of the cocoon. The boy then hit some rocks and ate some dirt.

"Heh, that's what the former Emperor-level cursed creature that always attacked us in a mob with thousands of minions." Oceanid snorted with disdain. He then simply threw the cocoon on the ground when he got close to the others.

"Hng!" Sylvia was startled and reflexively aimed her cannon at the blue cocoon when she saw who was encased in it. "You shameless savage monster.. Where did all your arrogance go when you fought me just now? You are nothing more than a loser before the Goddess of Blessings and the Sea God."
