Chapter 159: Role Swap

"You are so eager for me to replace you, Ely. Tomorrow, hmm..." Elena pondered for a moment regarding what she would do for tomorrow. But, it was considered different for Elysia. She thought Elena was considering tomorrow"s activities.

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

"Uhh, the first day of the week, it"s the knight cla.s.s, the last thing I want to follow with a real body... Not to mention the economy cla.s.s..." Elena wiped her non-existence sweat. It was already making her tired when imagining physical activity in the cla.s.s.

"What about the day after overmorrow?"

"As I recall, it was the day for the magic research cla.s.s, then the night for the etiquette cla.s.s. That day seemed interesting. Uh, wait a minute, Ely, let me think, I can"t replace you that often." Elena immediately silenced the girl"s mouth who was going to dedicate the day after the mentioned day once again.

Elysia only nodded, and her mouth was freed from Elena"s delicate hands.

"Yes, Ely, can I take over your body for tomorrow after the Blessing Day ceremony is over? Un, just half a day I think is fine." Elena nodded with a pleasant expression. She complied with Elysia"s wish to swap roles.

"Half a day? That can"t be done, at least make it a full day. I also want to know what it"s like to be you here, as your spiritual support." Elysia gave a "no-no" gesture with her finger while shaking her head.

"Uuuh, but the Blessing Day ceremony as a Priest sounds tiring... Ah! How about with separate day? Half a day for tomorrow, and the other half for the magic research cla.s.s? That way, it will be a whole day, right? yes, I"m a genius." Proudly, Elena proposed it as a solution.

"Um, well... You"re leaving etiquette cla.s.s for me? You"re pretty lazy, Sister Elena hehe..." While giggling, Elysia looked back up. She knew very well about Elena"s daily habits.

"Ufufu... You understand me well, Ely. "Lazy" is a word that is also in my name, and you gave that name to me."

"Eh? How can it be like that? Where"s the word lazy in your name? It"s Elena Avery, no lazy or anything similar there." Elysia looked at Elena again, blinked cluelessly.

"Elena, Elazena, laze, see?" Elena smirked mischievously with her unreasonable answer.

"Huh? Umm, that"s not how it works..." Elysia shook her head helplessly. That sounded a little silly and absurd.

"Hehe... Of course, but I can justify that... Try to think about it, why should we walk when we can float all the time? The body will feel hungry, but the spirit form will not be hungry, just limp. And there are many other things I can say about how comfortable I"m here, rather than the outside world." Elena folded her arms over her tummy as if she had just delivered a motivational sentence.

A little surprised by Elena"s statement, Elysia covered her mouth, but she smiled as if she wanted to laugh. "Oh my, I just found out about it. It seems you have the same thoughts as me, Sister Elena. Sometimes I also want to shut myself up, away from the hustle and bustle of the world."

"Hmm-hmm, maybe I got influenced by you, Ely..." Elena giggled softly and then closed her eyes as if she wanted to sleep. After that, the two of them enjoyed their time in silence for a moment.

"Nee, Sister Elena, before we go to sleep, please try one more thing, okay?"

"Sure, but what is it?" Elena blinked cluelessly. She missed something that came to Elysia"s mind.

"I will return to my body. After that, try to get out of the Soul Realm like before. I wonder if that can be achieved or not."

"Okay, that"s easy... Uhh, if I hit the invisible wall that envelops this Soul Realm like you, you have to comfort me, okay?" Elena was about to nod in agreement, but she remembered the fate of Elysia a while ago.

This Soul Realm was vast and like a universe beyond outer s.p.a.ce, but it still had boundaries. What Elysia asked was to break through that boundary once again by entering into the sacred state. However, their limitations made her a little worried.

As if she knew Elena"s worries, Elysia lifted her body to sit beside Elena. She gently stroked Elena"s golden hair to rea.s.sure her.

"Don"t worry, it"s probably because this Soul Realm is the subconscious power of the body. It doesn"t allow the two spirits within it to leave, or something bad will happen. I"m sure there must be a strong reason for this." Elysia spoke softly, while Elena only listened like a little girl persuaded by her parent.

"Even if one has to stay here... But, if I return to my body, my spirit will still be here, correct? It"s just my consciousness returning to the body, remember? So, I think it will work." Elysia continued her persuasive lines, and Elena immediately sat down as a result.

"En, okay, let"s do that." Elena was wholly convinced of the logical reason Elysia had just presented.

"Marvelous! Wait a moment, I"ll give a signal when I"m back in my body." Elysia clapped her hands happily. She immediately lay down on the ethereal canopy bed, closed her eyes, and returned to her body.

Elena was only silent for a moment when she saw Elysia"s spirit lying quietly on the bed like a doll. All of sudden, Elysia"s returned to being like an inanimate object, but warm as a living thing.

Elysia"s b.r.e.a.s.t.s no longer rose and fell, although they no longer needed to breathe. Simultaneously, in spirit form, it was merely their habit of exhaling something that was not there in this form.

While waiting for a moment, Elena smoothed Elysia"s white dress a little and then lay down beside her.

Meanwhile, in the real world, in Ella"s room, Elysia opened her eyes again slowly. She made sure the two girls on both sides were still fast asleep, and somehow she let out a sigh of relief.

"Sister Elena, I"ve returned to my body. Can you try to get out into the real world now?"

"Sure, this big sister will come in no time." Elena quickly responded. After giving another glance at Elysia"s spirit, she immediately entered the sacred state and tried to leave the Soul Realm.

It only took one try. Elena managed to get out of the Soul Realm without dealing with the invisible wall, the Soul Realm"s boundary.

"Ely! As you thought, I did it! Ah, if it"s like this, I don"t have to switch roles with you, right? I will always accompany you inside and out." Elena wandered around after she managed to get out of Elysia"s body.

"That"s an amazing thing! However, for the matter regarding our role swap as previously agreed, it is still valid." Elysia smirked a little. She still wanted to feel what it was like to spend time as spiritual support in the Soul Realm.

"Um, okay, but only two of them, okay? Don"t give me that responsibility the other day after those two..." Elena touched her fingers together with a helpless expression. If given another chance, perhaps she should reject it and choose this form and role as an excuse.

"Um, alright..." Elysia could only agree. Elena didn"t seem too fond of the idea of ??switching roles.

"Yay! You are indeed my sweet little sister." Elena clapped her hands and rested them against her cheek. She didn"t know what prompted Elysia with this idea. But for once in a while, it didn"t matter.

"Can I fly around here? O, waw, I can still use magic, hehe..." Elena grinned as she thought of something she could do with this new discovery. She could give her divine punishment directly to the sinner without anyone knowing, apart from her sweet little sister!

"Better not try to go further than my line of sight, Sister Elena. I"m afraid the story about the spirit not returning to the body is true. I don"t want to lose you." Elysia quickly warned. She thought it would be fatal.

"Ow, sweet, better safe than sorry, right?" Elena smiled softly. She floated back right near the bed.

[| Elena Avery |]

Elysia exhaled softly. This was the status screen she saw the most when she accidentally looked at Elena with focus.

There was never any information other than the name she gave... Unlike the status screen for other living things that existed, such as level, occupation cla.s.s, name, health points, energy points, and sometimes gender and age.

Neither of them understood why it was like that. Elysia and Elena just let it pa.s.s because maybe Elena"s stats would be the same as Elysia"s.

"Yawn... Uhh, it"s too late at night. It"s time for us to sleep, my sweet little sister." Elena yawned with a covered her mouth, her eyes a bit watery. She already felt the need to sleep.

"En, good night to you, Sister Elena. I always wish you a beautiful dream."

"Hehe... With your spirit as my cuddle doll and a soft bed, I"m sure my sleep will be much better tonight. Oh! Don"t forget to wake me up when you wake up in the morning, okay, Ely? I don"t want to miss your day and your moment~" Elena looked Elysia straight into her eyes as if she didn"t accept no as an answer.

"Alright."

Hearing Elysia"s simple confirmation, Elena immediately returned to the Soul Realm. True to her words, she lay down on the soft ethereal canopy bed and made Elysia"s helpless spirit as her cuddle doll.

"Good night, Ely. May your dreams be beautiful." Elena conveyed a tender whisper before she dived into her sleep.

And shortly after, Elysia also plunged into her dreamland in a night of comfortable sleep.
