“That’s not cool, Ai.” Sylvia waved her hand in front of her face.
“But, the day we celebrate birthdays doesn’t exist in my hometown. How about you, Lynn, Yuuki?” Vanessa thought for a moment before answering. She never remembered a celebration or party like that in her hometown, and maybe beastkin was the same?
“I don’t know.” Yuuki was completely clueless as she had no good recollection of her lonely past.
“Mm, I also don’t have that kind of culture in my hometown. However, we have a thanksgiving day one month before the end of the year.” Lynn put her hand to her chin and nodded. As far as she could recall, there really was no birthday celebration.
“So, it’s just Sylvi and me? Xentia too. How about you, Ely?” Evelyn smiled awkwardly. Cultural differences were natural because their group consisted of various races.
“Me? Hmm, how should I answer that? There were indeed some birthday celebrations, but that’s not something good to remember. I don’t know. Maybe, it’s just me being apathetic and stopping to care?” Elysia went to sit beside Ai and shook her head.
“The cruelty. How could they forget your birthday and still have that insincere party? What are they trying to take advantage of?” Sylvia felt irritated just to imagine Elysia’s past situation.
She had heard some accidental hints from Evelyn and Ella… Elysia’s past was melancholy.
“No, it’s not their fault. It’s human’s nature to see the value of someone over anything else.” Elysia shook her head once again.
“Let’s ignore those insignificant humans and start a new amazing story. All of us. Ely, when is your birthday? You never told me…” Evelyn felt the direction of the conversation would make Elysia uncomfortable. She immediately changed to something lighter.
“I forgot the exact date. I need to confirm that to my master first.” Elysia didn’t feel sure. Not to mention, it was her second life. So, when was her birthday again?
“Ellie…” Erina couldn’t help but look at Elysia’s indifferent expression with a sad look. She knew very well what would happen after much disappointment and sadness, namely indifference.
“What’s wrong, Erina?” Elysia was a bit surprised because Erina suddenly hugged her from the side.
“It’s okay. Please tell me when your birthday will be. I will throw a grand party.” Erina patted Elysia’s back.
“Please don’t do that. It’s not my culture. I would feel uneasy in a crowd of strangers.” Elysia felt that was a bad idea.
“Then it’s just us. A party only your important people will attend.” Erina took a little distance and looked at Elysia’s face. She then glanced at Elysia’s twin sister. “So do you, Ai.”
“Hmm?” Ai didn’t really understand, but she just left everything to Elysia.
*Knock* *Knock*
The door was knocked from outside. Mio excused herself to check who had come to visit.
“Please excuse us. The patriarch invites you to come to the Hong Clan’s secondary mansion. We would like to express our gratitude to Elysia-sama at a dinner party. We look forward to your presence now.” One of the bodyguards from the Hong Clan came in and read a letter.
“It’s about time, huh.” Elysia nodded in understanding and got up from her seat.
“Come with me everyone.” Ai grabbed Elysia’s hand and entered a bedroom.
“Eh?” Erina was astonished because everyone had left her in the living room except Mio and Gio. She looked at Mio with a clueless expression.
A few moments later, Elysia came out of the bedroom with Sylvia and Xentia.
“???” Erina wondered where the others had gone. She checked into that bedroom, but no one was there.
She also hadn’t had a chance to inquire about the girl with fluffy snow-white hair. That girl had the same name as Elysia’s white cat, which made her curious. The cat had also not been seen anywhere since the theatre event.
“They have some business. Shall we go now?” Elysia offered her hand to Erina. She couldn’t possibly tell Ai, and the others were currently in her shadow.
“Oh, okay…” Erina scratched her head in surprise and grabbed Elysia’s hand. They then left the hotel and headed to the Hong Clan’s mansion.
On the other side of the Earth Realm dimension, Elena and the others patched up the world law’s formation damaged by their otherworldly magic.
“Gaia, you lied to me! You said the damage was minimal, but why isn’t our work finished even though thousands of nature spirits are helping us!?” Elena voiced her complaint.
Even so, she still kept her hands busy. She patched the dimensional formation cracks using a special brush and mysterious rainbow liquid.
“We’re almost done, though?” Gaia blinked her eyes a few times with an innocent look.
“You said the same thing two hours ago.” Elena rolled her eyes.
“Well… When compared to the Earth’s scale, the damage done is quite small. After we’ re done, the energy balance on Earth can return to normal.” Nell shrugged her shoulders and continued to patch another dimensional crack.
“Mm, one more region and we’re done here. We have twelve hours to recuperate to prepare for tomorrow by then~” Gaia clapped her hands to cheer everyone up.
“The last one? Let’s finish this quickly.” Xero sighed. This entire activity of fixing things truly tormented him. It was much easier to destroy or damage something than to fix it.
“Huff…” Elena heaved a subtle sigh and set off to another place with Gaia and everyone. She wanted to quickly finish this task and get back to spending time with her Elysia.
‘Ely, you need to compensate me well. Gaia played the dirty trick to us. This is no small task.’ Elena grumbled in her mind.
‘Sure~ I shall get rid of your tiredness later. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Elena.’ Elysia answered the telepathy with gratitude.
‘We are heading to the last region in the broken formation world law spot. What will you do after the Hong Clan’s matter is over, Ely?’ Elena was curious about the situation on the other side.
‘I’ll just exchange politeness and pleasantries with them. After getting compensated for my help, we will escort Erina and Mio back to Japan in an instant. That way, we can rejoin the main group soon.’ Elysia summarized the schedule of events.
‘You helped the Hong Clan for money and relation, right? Even though it’s easy for you. You can ask Erina’s family almost anything since they have promised you special privileges.’ Elena asked in wonder.
‘I can’t do it. It’s not my style to take advantage of Erina like that. Wouldn’t that be sad and bad? Besides, our future affairs in South Korea will be much easier because of the Hong Clan.’ Elysia thinks otherwise for a long-term plan.
‘South Korea, huh… Besides Japan, you are also interested in South Korea? It’s not because there have a lot of beautiful girls, right?’ Elena had some suspicions.
‘I don’t think so, my dear sister. I think it’s a good thing if we have at least one relation in every special country. We’re not going to stick to one place, after all. A greater gain from a small favor. Isn’t that great?’ Elysia had a reason behind her actions.
‘Your business spirit resurfaces. Anyway, what are you going to do with the reward they will give? What if it doesn’t live up to your expectations?’ Elena felt a little curious.
‘It doesn’t matter because it is their sincerity. I’m not forcing anything. At least, I have many ways to earn money here. Maybe, sell some treasures?’ Elysia responded without considering anything.
‘Why do you need so much money on Earth, Ely? We’ll be back in Vrelenia soon. Maybe next week we’ll leave Earth.’ Elena felt a bit confused about what Elysia wanted to achieve.
‘I would like to purchase some global scale communications products from SpaceX. I might be able to buy a whole project if I’m lucky. Otherwise, it’s fine to buy the blueprints.’ Elysia could imagine Vrelenia also had a proper communication system and internet.
‘Ely… I thought you messed up the order of things. If you want to buy something big from a collosal company like them, you will need to wait in queue. It’s not an instant buy. Wouldn’t it be much better if you contacted them first to check everything before thinking about the money you need for it?’ Elena was amused because she knew Elysia was stunned after she told her opinion.
‘E-eh? Silly me! I messed it up because Hong Clan’s young master came as an opportunity. I missed that important thing! Why do I think I should have the funds before the bargain? I can at least confirm the availability and the price, right? Uuh, then I’ll try my luck later, or we’ll just go to the technology museum then…’ Elysia shook her head. She felt a little frustrated and embarrassed.
‘Fufu, how cute. Anyway, your main goal has been achieved, right? You get the Hong Clan’s gratitude. Your affairs in South Korea will be greatly facilitated in the future. If we can replicate the global communication system and print it into a blueprint, the dwarves can make it for you. Worry not.’ Elena reassured Elysia in amusement.
‘Yeah… I’ll settle things in the Hong Clan quickly and join you soon.’ Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
‘Sure, I’ll let you know when we’re done. See you soon~’ Elena ended the conversation.
“???” Erina wondered why Elysia suddenly blushed and looked a bit embarrassed. Even so, she didn’t want to ask because Elysia kept silent on the way to the Hong Clan mansion.
“We’re almost there.” Elysia looked at the ancient-looking white castle ahead.
“Mm.” Erina just nodded. She could guess what would happen after this.
