Chapter 466: Purple Dish
"Hng... Hm?" Elysia opened her eyes as she knew that the sun had come to greet the day with its warm light.
However, she felt that she was being hugged from behind. She turned only to find it was the sleeping Elena.
About two hours ago, Elena chirped to wake her up so she could open the portal. And, that was how they were there now.
Elysia just smiled warmly. She couldn't bear to wake Elena up. Therefore, she turned her attention to the side.
Despite being reminded by Lifa beforehand, it was still a little surprising to see Rhea's current state. The previously around seven-year-old little girl grew into a twelve-year-old teenage girl overnight!
And again, Rhea's cute little dress was already torn. Only the blanket saved the morning view.
'Well... Rhea forgot to use her divine light of censorship. Luckily, the blanket is still there for her.' Elysia shook her head with an amused smile. She then glanced down. Rhea was still clutching her dress tightly...
Elysia decided to stare at the sleeping Rhea's face for a moment. At first glance, Rhea was just like an adorable teenage girl, not a divine being.
A thought crossed her mind, and she sighed in the end. Truth be told, Rhea was like scraping her life bit by bit for recovery, and she was in charge of Rhea from now onwards.
Fortunately, she could absorb Life Energy from the outside things. Otherwise, it was evident that death would feel so close.
Elysia shook her head to put that thought aside. She returned to the current issue.
"Rhea, it's morning. Can you hear me? Please loosen your grip. You can continue your sleep on our air journey." Elysia spoke in a whisper-like voice. She had no other choice but to wake Rhea first.
"Mhm, hng..." Rhea opened her eyes slightly, but she closed them again. She didn't truly hear what Elysia was saying, but she knew that she needed to move.
Like a person with a light head, Rhea propelled her body to sit. She moved to sit on Elysia's lap and wrapped her arms around the latter's neck half-consciously.
"Oh my, you're a big girl now and still want to be carried all the time? What a spoiled girl. Let's put on your new dress first." Elysia took out a turquoise green dress from her Space Bag. She then tickled the half-conscious girl.
"Mhm, hm, er..." Rhea squirmed like a caterpillar. She opened her eyes again a few moments later and was silent for a while, even though her vision was not blurry.
It felt a little odd because she could see Elysia's face directly at her eye level without looking up. Maybe, she was getting taller?
"Good morning Rhea. How are you feeling now? Is everything okay? Please raise your hand." Elysia greeted with a tender smile and a caring expression.
Rhea just nodded absentmindedly and raised her hands without waiting for anything. She needed a few seconds to process her half recovery.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Elysia helped Rhea put on the dress. After that, she pulled the blanket from Rhea's body.
'Why is Rhea such a dazed girl now? Is all really well on his side?' Elysia was surprised because Rhea had not spoken even though she had woken up. She immediately used her sacred vision to check and confirm Rhea's condition.
[| 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 |]
Elysia didn't forget to take a peek at Rhea's current status. Surprisingly, it was the numbers that shot higher than what she had expected.
Last night, it was Rhea who said the recovery had reached sixty percent. Only Life Energy increased at that time, and apparently, the rest would follow after a nice sleep.
'But why is Rhea's VIT still so low?' Elysia scratched her head in confusion. It was beyond comprehension. After all, she and Elena hadn't done any trials to find out the truth of the new status screen's features.
"Good morning, Master Elysia. Thank you for your help. I feel very energetic and great this morning." Rhea clenched her hands in front of her chest with a radiant smile.
"I'm glad to hear that. But, hmm..." Elysia looked Rhea up and down.
"W-is there something wrong with my body, Master Elysia? I seem to have grown quite a bit. Do you want me to transform into the form of a three-year-old baby?" Rhea felt a little nervous because of Elysia's deep gaze.
"Nay, there's nothing wrong. It's just that I think you need to wear underwear too. Also, please use your divine light of censorship. It would be embarrassing if you let other people peek at your whole body without restraint." Elysia stroked Rhea's head gently. She also took out plain turquoise underwear for Rhea.
"Mm. I'll wear that now." Rhea accepts what is given.
Before Rhea could open her dress again to put on her underwear, Elysia stopped her by holding her hand.
"Wait, wait a minute. Do you want to wear the underwear here? Can you go to the dressing room over there?" Elysia heaved a sigh of relief that she was on time. She put in a lot of courage and effort not to feel embarrassed while taking care of Rhea, but now it was a little different.
"O-oh, okay." Rhea didn't have the slightest intention of questioning Elysia's request even though she felt it would be fine since it was Elysia. She just jumped out of bed and went into the dressing room.
"Phew..." Elysia wiped her non-existent sweat.
After that, Nell woke up and exchanged good morning greetings with Elysia. She also deactivated the layered barrier from the room.
At that very moment, a strange yet odd scent immediately assaulted Elysia and Rhea's sense of smell.
"Eww! What's with this bad smell!? Who made such a mess in the morning like this?" Nell covered her nose and immediately flew out to check.
Elysia also covered her nose and used wind magic to get rid of the unpleasant smell from the room. She looked at Elena once, then went outside to check the source of the bad smell.
It was coming from the kitchen. A thin purplish-black puff could even be seen coming from that place.
*Clang* *Clang* *Clink* *Rustle*
A slight commotion could be heard, and the smell became more and more erratic the more Elysia approached the kitchen.
"We're making breakfast. Please ignore the smell. It's actually delicious." Sylvia stirred the purplish food in a large saucepan.
"You call this breakfast? Oh, dear me, looks like I'm just going to skip breakfast today." Nell moved her finger in a circular motion and used wind magic to dispel all the purple puff.
She put her hand on her forehead and flew away as if she didn't want to stay there any longer.
"You need to try this before you can give us your comments. The Goddess of Blessings, please wait a moment." Sylvia approached the little Goddess with a small bowl in hand.
"I don't want to taste it!" Nell immediately sped away and entered Elysia's room.
*Bam!* *Click*
The door closed hastily, and Nell locked it too. Elysia smiled helplessly to see Nell run away and hide in the room.
"Good morning, Ely. Would you like to taste the food I made with Yuuki? It may look a bit unusual, but the taste is guaranteed by Gio, Yuuki, and I." Sylvia offered the sample dish to Elysia with both hands.
"Err... What dishes are you guys cooking, Sylvi, Yuuki?" Elysia didn't know how to respond. To be honest, she also wanted to run away as Nell did.
Sylvia tried to remember the name, but she failed. Thus, she only asked her comrade. "Uhm, what did we name this dish earlier, Yuuki?"
"We got a reference from Ely. So, we named this soup dish Elysia Soup." Yuuki smiled innocently to introduce what she was cooking.
"Wait a minute! Please don't name this dish with that name. It's as if you cooked me instead of naming the dish." Elysia blinked a few times in surprise as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"After all, what kind of references did you guys use to make a purplish soup like this..." She then looked at the bowl in Sylvia's hands with a helpless gaze.
"You know, you have black hair, and you have purplish-blue eyes. Actually, this soup has a purplish-blue color and has many black ingredients, like this black noodle. But somehow, everything turned purple..." Sylvia loosened her shoulders with some disappointment.
"..." Elysia was at a loss for words. She only glanced sideways to check on Gio's condition.
A dragon-like man was lying near the sofa as if he was sleeping. However, some white foam came out of his mouth.
In addition, Vanessa and the cats were on the top shelf, in the box. It was as if they were feeling scared and hiding from something.
"You said you've confirmed the taste to yourself, Gio, and Yuuki? But, why is Gio lying unconscious there?" Elysia pointed her palm to the fainted man.
"I don't know. Maybe Gio just overate and fell asleep because he was full. Forget him. He just lives like a slacker." Sylvia snorted to look at the man lying on the floor.
After that, she scooped up the soup and ate it without any problems. "It's worth eating. I don't know why the Goddess of Blessings ran away without even trying even though she's a foodie."
"Oh dear me..." Elysia put her hand on her forehead as if she received sudden dizziness.
