Chapter 779: Preparing Materials

After a few exchanges of words, Elysia asked to establish shared processing with herself. However, all the girls gladly welcomed the idea.

Therefore, Elysia established a shared connection with the girls, including Lifa and Nell.

"Wow, I can understand the language of this world now. So, shall we hunt those who will be after you now?" Ai looked at some of the writings around her and clenched her fists with a smirk.

"Yes, but not so soon. We need to buy a few things before everyone else. Let's split into two groups. The first group will go with me to the Alchemy Association to buy resources to make antidotes. The second group will go to the hypermart to buy daily necessities, including food." Elysia suggested an idea.

"Helen and Madam will be in charge of the second group, while Aria and I will be in the first group. Hmm, let's divide the group like this. It's just me, Aria, and Ely who will go to the Alchemy Association, while all of you will go to the hypermart. Buy anything useful or something you like and come back here as soon as you're done." Elena split the group up quickly and easily.

"Why is it just the three of you in the first group?" Ai felt that something was wrong.

"That would be a bit boring in the Alchemy Association. We'll just go there for a while and come right back. You can have fun shopping for what you like. Ely can tell Vann or Yuuki the details later." Elena glanced at Elysia.

"Sylvi, you are the one who knows Earth better than anyone else, so please take care of everyone, okay. Here, please hold my smartphone to see the map, so you won't get lost. You can make payments with it. Are you still remember how to use it?" Elysia handed her smartphone to Sylvia.

"That's easy, Ely. We now understand the Earth language you speak, so it will be much easier. Yes, shall we go now? Let's see, the hypermart is two blocks next door. It's close." Sylvia operated the smartphone to view the map.

"Mm, here's the spare key to this house. We'll meet again here at noon for lunch." Elysia handed the spare key to Lifa.

"Sure, please be careful on your journey." Lifa received the key and waved her hand.

"Mm, we'll go first. See you later." Rhea waved her hand.

"You also please be careful around you. Everyone, see you at midday~" Elysia waved her hand and went to the exit with Elena and Rhea.

The Sky Spirit just clung to Elysia's shoulder. "I'm coming with you."

"Sure. Ah, can I give you a nickname to make things easier for us?" Elysia suggested an idea.

"Yeah, that's great. Pick a cool, catchy name for me." The Sky Spirit immediately agreed.

"Let's just call you Sora. For pronoun, elemental and nature spirit have no gender. So, is it okay if we treat you as a girl?" Elysia stroked the little Sky Spirit with her finger.

"Sure thing. That's a nice name." Sora was quite satisfied with his nickname. It was much better than that unattractive name initiated by that vile boy.

*Clack*

The door closed, and Elysia's group had left.

"I guess it's time for us to go." Lifa put her hands together.

"Let's go and finish this quickly. We have three hours before lunch." Nell looked at the clock on the wall and landed on Lifa's shoulder. She would disguise herself there.

"Hmm, fine. Gio, come here." Ai wanted to pick up Elysia's little pet. But, the brown tortoise ignored her and came to Vanessa instead.

"It's okay. Gio will go with me. He also still failed to understand some things that Master Elysia said. So, I will explain it to him." Vanessa smiled wryly and gave Ai an apologetic look.

"Well, then, you fluffy beastkins. You must do something to your tails and ears before we go." Ai pointed at Vanessa, Lynn, and Yuuki's tails.

"That's easy. We've been taught illusion techniques." Yuuki immediately used an illusion technique to disguise her tails and fox ears. Vanessa and Lynn followed shortly after.

"Nice, it's time for us to go too! Allow me to guide the way." Sylvia walked in front to guide everyone.

After everyone left the house, Lifa locked the door, and they went to the nearest hypermart on foot.

"..." Evelyn could see Elysia and the Goddess of Nature at the end of the road, just getting into a vehicle.

However, she couldn't find Elysia's master anywhere. Elysia would probably lure the bad guys, as explained earlier. However, the Heretic God was currently monitoring everything like a genuine predator for Elysia.

"Eve?" Lynn nudged Evelyn's arm.

"Ah, yes? It's nothing." Evelyn was a little taken aback and started walking again.

"Okay. Just tell us if something's bothering you." Lynn nodded in understanding.

On their way to the hypermart, they caught the attention of many passersby. A bunch of top-tier beauties would indeed attract attention.

Several men approached and tried their luck by greeting or opening conversations with the girls. Still, the girls only gave short, dismissive responses as if they didn't want to be bothered.

"Why don't you just die? You uncultured monkeys, your existence only spoils the scenery." Ai didn't like to feel disturbed. She responded with harsh words because she was fed up.

"Sheesh, is this what they call a sharp mouth? Please be careful because she may be a shy, tsundere." The man hugged himself and squirmed with joy.

"What's with these people?" Ai desperately wanted to escape into the Shadow Realm right now, but Elysia wasn't around.

"My apologies, kind gentleman. However, more than this, you will be categorized as an act to harass us. Can you leave us alone?" Lifa asked politely, but her pressure was too great for an average human to bear.

The men tried to get acquainted with the girls, but they panicked and nodded like woodpeckers as the mental pressure hit them.

They just stood on the spot and let the girls go. It was as if their hearts were gripped by something painful, and they no longer dared to try their luck because they were aware of the risks that awaited them.

"Hmm, I guess that's why Ely often travels wearing a mask. There are too many horny monkeys with mush brains. Here, I brought some masks. Please wear these while we are in public." Sylvia took some medical masks from her Space Bag and distributed them to everyone.

After that, their journey to the hypermart went on without anyone trying to disturb them. The girls went straight to the groceries and daily necessities section. They put anything interesting into their shopping carts.

"What did you bring? Cat food?" Ai asked curiously.

"Ah, it's just a snack. I wonder how this differs from our world." Vanessa put various cat food variants into her shopping cart.

"I see... Is there anything good instant food? It would be troublesome to have to cook in an emergency." Ai folded her arms.

"Mm, snacks can be eaten right away and are delicious. However, it's to accompany leisure time, not for emergency situations. How about instant food? I know some good ones, but it might be different here." Vanessa suggested something and took Ai to the next shelf. There were many instant foods to choose from.

"Hmm, let's see..." Ai looked at the shelf but didn't quite understand what the food was. Some of them look like long worms labeled with 'ramen'.

"Anyway, let's take some of these." Ai shrugged and put some nice-looking instant food into the shopping cart.

The girls then continued their shopping activities. Meanwhile, Elysia and Rhea had just arrived at the Alchemy Association's headquarters.

Elena was monitoring the surroundings from the Elysian Realm. Still, there was nothing suspicious other than Xero lurking in the distance.

Elysia smiled behind her mask because she had just talked to Vanessa and Nell via telepathy. Her friends have fun to enjoy their time.

"I think this is the place. Hm? The resource sales point is in the back lane." Rhea pointed in a direction.

"Oh, it's in the back. Let's go there." Elysia looked at the headquarters before going to the back building.

A traditional medicine building awaited them there. Lots of herbs, unique medicines, and various items on display on the shelves. Apart from the herbalists and employees, the visitors who came there were only older people.

Elysia used her advanced perception to search for what she needed, but she couldn't find it there. However, she could see a particular shop in the deeper room. The materials and resources she was looking for were available there.

"Excuse me, herbalist-san. We need a little help here." Elysia raised her hand to one of the herbalists she thought had a particular authority.

"Welcome to our traditional medicine shop. Is there anything we can help with?" The herbalist grasped her hand and asked politely. She was stunned for a moment because she could tell these two girls were someone from the upper class.

"We'd like to purchase some advanced resources. However, not everything I need is available in this front store. Can you help me gain access to the inner shop?" Elysia spoke in a whisper-like voice.

"My apologies, Ojou-sama. However, you need a membership card to enter there." The herbalist shook his head. She was surprised why this girl sounded quite familiar with their shop.

"Well, I don't have it, but it's fine if I can't visit there. However, can you help me to sell the ingredients and resources according to the recipe I'm about to give? I need them urgently." Elysia tried to negotiate.

"Uhm, fine. But, I need to see what you're looking for first." The herbalist thought twice and ended up agreeing to the request.

Elysia then wrote her shopping list based on the antidote recipe. However, she added some other kinds of stuff. She didn't want the recipe to be investigated for now.

The herbalist looked at the piece of paper in her hand. Everything listed there was indeed available, but she still needed permission from higher-ups to sell some materials on the list.

She glanced at the two girls in front of her once again. It was easy to guess that they were experts. She had no idea why they didn't have a membership card but was familiar with this place.

"Alright, I'll help you with your request. However, some items require higher-ups' permission to sell because you don't have a membership card. Nana, please guide the customers to the waiting room. With that being said, I need to excuse myself." The herbalist bowed slightly. She then turned around and walked away.

An employee came over and asked the customers to follow her. Elysia and Rhea just followed the employee into the waiting room.
