Elysia paid for her taxi and entered through the mansion gate. She was well known to all the Minamoto Clan members, and the guards welcomed her with respect.

‘It rained heavily last night, but it’s really sunny this morning. Stormy does a great job of keeping things cool.’ Elysia took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

‘Yes, Stormy is the one who does a little bit of weather regulation in this city. Otherwise, windy downpours will hit Tokyo. The weather is still a bit chaotic and unpredictable since the world’s law damages.’ Rhea put her hand near her forehead and looked at the clear sky.

‘Isn’t that bad? World’s law and Earth’s boundary have been repaired, right?’ Elysia finally understood the reason behind the chaotic weather boom.

‘Hmm, nature spirits say it will take about four days to restore the world order to its original state. Everything will return to the way it was as the day passed.’ Rhea smiled sweetly.

‘I feel relieved to hear that.’ Elysia breathed a sigh of relief.

She had a short chat with Rhea, but they had already arrived at the mansion’s entrance. Two guards opened the door and ushered them in.

“Ellie, you’ve come.” Erina raised her hand in greeting from the living room. She immediately came closer.

“Hi~ I’ll definitely come. So, what kind of problem are you having right now? It’s not about romance, is it? I’m not an expert on this.” Elysia waved her hand and put on a mischievous expression.

“Ellie, you keep teasing me. I was thinking about it last night, and I just realized you were just trying to tease me, but I took you seriously.” Erina held Elysia’s hand with a bit of embarrassment.

‘Hmm-mm~ You seemed to be just too tense and nervous back then, Erina. No need to worry. Are my messages and feelings being conveyed?’ Elysia opened the conversation via telepathy.

‘I’ve received your message and feelings, Ellie. I will not let you down!’ Erina answered with steadfast determination.

‘What can you comprehend from our gift? Do you like it?’ Elysia smiled faintly and tilted her head slightly.

‘Ellie, your gift is incredibly valuable for you to just give away. The Space Bag that could store multiple items was an incredible articat, but you also left a mountain of extremely rare high-level resources within it. You invested so many assets in me. Do you really want me and Mio?’ Erina clasped Elysia’s hand and blushed slightly as she said that.

‘Mm, please cultivate well and make use of our gift to make you stronger. You have your own path, but I wonder if we will cross our path again in the future. I want to recruit you, but now is not the time. You need to meet several criteria until the time comes, Erina.’ Elysia looked down a bit.

‘Ellie… I will try my best to solve my problems first. Please believe me. I will not let you down.’ Erina now had a clear and definite confirmation of Elysia’s intentions towards her.

‘Hehe, I’m not demanding anything. Just do your things at your own pace. Whatever the outcome, it’s for your own good.’ Elysia rubbed Erina’s hand and walked into the living room. “I wonder about the meaning behind your previous message, Erina. You asked me out for some reason, but you didn’t explain anything there. I’m here now… so speak up and I’ll listen.”

She then remembered something and immediately introduced Rhea to Erina. Still, it aimed at Erina’s father and grandfather in the living room. “Erina, let me introduce someone to you~ This lovely, adorable girl is my little sister, Aria.”

“Nice to meet you, Aria. You can call me Erina.” Erina bent down slightly to look at the adorable turquoise long-haired girl at eye level.

“Hello.” Rhea nodded slightly and fell silent again.

“Oh? You come with only your little sister, Elysia? Come sit for a moment and have some hot tea with us.” Kenji invited Elysia to sit down.

“This is our day off. I’m also sure that there are some free experts who will protect us from trouble.” Elysia glanced outside.

“Well, you really do attract a lot of attention from different countries. They’re starting to reassess you now. Are ‘they’ okay with your situation?” Kenji wanted to confirm something.

“Who knows?” Elysia smiled mysteriously. She then greeted Mio. “Hi, Mio. Are you well?”

“I am fine, Elysia-sama.” Mio put her hand on her upper chest.

“You came last night, but didn’t greet us. Is everything all right on your side?” Mitsuzuka glanced at Aria, then back at Elysia.

“Please forgive me for not greeting you due to the unfavorable situation. I can only send my regards through Erina. Thank you for asking. Everything is fine now. It’s just, it seems like trouble just came even though we didn’t want it, hmm?” Elysia bowed slightly to apologize.

“It’s okay. It’s a good thing that everything is fine. That mysterious disease has also disappeared. Everyone received two doses of the vaccine, and they should be immune from such a disease, right?” Mitsuzuka raised his palm. He didn’t ask Elysia to apologize, after all.

“Eh? Two doses of vaccine? Isn’t that just one in instruction?” Elysia scratched her head and looked at everyone’s expressions.

“Yeah, just one. However, the Alchemy Association and the World Health Organization give one extra dose for an immunity booster.” Kenji shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s not free, is it? Who bears all the costs?” Elysia could guess the business scheme that had happened.

“The government of every country. What do you think?” Kenji wanted to know Elysia’s response to this.

“Hmm, so be it. They also need to cover the production costs for the antidote vaccine. Anyway, Erina~ You ignored my question earlier. You can’t run away now. Answer me or I’ll tickle you~” Elysia held Erina’s arm and tickled Erina’s waist as a threat.

“Kyaa, Ellie! Fufufu, heehe-he. That’s ticklish. Uuu…” Erina tried to hold onto Elysia’s naughty hands, but those nimble fingers were very good at tickling her.

Elysia then let Erina take a breath, but she waited for her answer.

“Ellie, father asked me to go socialize with the talented young generations at their gathering event.” Erina pressed her fingers together and acknowledged the problem. It was a bit embarrassing, but she didn’t dare to leave with just Mio.

Elysia was somewhat surprised by that answer. She never thought it was the problem in question. “Socializing with peers is a good thing, right? It doesn’t have to be always being friends or getting along with others. Just getting acquainted is enough to start with.”

“Hum, your golden touch is under control now. My daughter, you were once considered an untoucable golden rose, and no one dared to socialize with you. However, now is the time for you to get to know them and socialize like the other younger generations. You no longer a loner, and you may encounter something later.” Kenji folded his arms and voiced his concern.

“I’m not a loner. I have a lot of fans. I also have Ellie and Mio.” Erina emphasized her argument.

“Sir Kenji, Sir Mitsuzuka… may I know what you will do if Erina is able to determine her own path of destiny in the future?” Elysia suddenly raised her hand and asked.

Kenji and Mitsuzuka looked at each other. They knew it had deep meaning but weren’t quite sure what Elysia meant.

“Hm, we never force our will on Erina. We don’t know the meaning behind your question, but we want Erina to get the best. Let fate decide.” Kenji heaved a subtle sigh.

“I see…” Elysia nodded slightly. She then stood up. “All right, we are now going to the gathering place. I also want to know what the talented young generation from Japan is like. We are going to socialize.”

“You too, Ellie?” Erina felt somewhat surprised.

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you.” Elysia offered her hand.

“Oh, okay.” Erina accepted Elysia’s hand.

Elysia grabbed Rhea’s hand and then bid her farewell to Mitsuzuka and Kenji before going outside. Mio immediately followed.

Mitsuzuka and Kenji felt a bit complicated. They had a hard time asking Erina to go to that gathering event. Still, Elysia made no effort to convince Erina.

“…” Erina took Elysia to the garage. Still, she didn’t know what to say because her father and grandfather were also following them. “Father, grandfather, why did you also come to the garage? Do you have a business to attend to today?”

“What are you saying, my granddaughter? How could I miss your first real socialization with you peers event? You can go with Elysia, Aria, and Mio. We’ll just be watching from afar. Don’t mind us, no, you can assume we’re not following you.” Mitsuzuka folded his arms and thought her reasoning made perfect sense.

“You make me feel nervous.” Erina voiced her complaints, but she couldn’t stop her father and grandfather if they wanted to come. “Ellie, please choose the car you like. We’ll go with two cars.”

“Which one would you choose, Erina?” Elysia didn’t even try to choose when she saw the many cars in that magnificent garage.

“Me and Mio will ride this one.” Erina patted a brown supercar.

“Then, I’ll go with the one next to you.” Elysia chose the closest white one.

“Honda NSX? Okay, let’s go.” Erina glanced at Elysia’s choice.

After that, they went out of the mansion area with some escorts. Kenji and Mitsuzuka followed in a black SUV right behind the two supercars.

‘Master Elysia, is the mentioned gathering event a vehicle race?’ Rhea asked curiously. This motorized vehicle was not family-friendly because it could only fit two people.

‘I think so, Rhea. However, we don’t have to race. We’ll just watch Erina from the side~ She may become a rece queen.’ Elysia hummed happily.

‘You sound like her mother.’ Rhea was pretty amused.

*Bzzt*

Elysia’s smartphone vibrated, but she wasn’t in a situation to be able to see the message. ‘Rhea, there’s a message coming in. Can you read it for me?’

“Okay.” Rhea picked up Elysia’s smartphone in the nearby handbag. “That young master from South Korea has come to Tokyo. He wants to meet you.”

Elysia asked Erina via telepathy before answering Rhea. “Hong Ju-Won? Did he come for help again? Tell him to come to the gathering event at-, err… Mobility Resort Motegi.”
