Chapter 421: Evroria City

That morning, Elena took Rhea out of the Nature Realm. The former went to Elysia"s Soul Realm and handed the latter to Elysia.

"You seem quite exhausted, Sister Elena. Do you want to rest right away?" Elysia asked in concern.

"En, I need some good sleep, Ely. Please give me a few hours. You"re going to Evroria City in the Yhester Region, right?" Elena plopped down on the heavenly bed, right beside Elysia"s spirit.

"Mm, that"s our plan." Elysia confirmed.

"Then you can also wake me up if something interesting or urgent happens, mkay? Good night, my sweet Ely." After saying that, Elena drew closer to the sleeping spirit and fell asleep there. She went to sleep while hugging her beloved little sister.

Elysia only let Elena sleep in peace. She refocused on the world and greeted Nell with a good morning. Then, they all immediately prepared for a journey via the magic carpet to the southwest.

"Nom, nom, nom... Crunch, munch, yum..." Sounds of chewing and gulping could be heard. Yuuki really enjoyed her time eating breakfast above the clouds.

"Yuuki, please pay attention to your table manners like you promised yesterday. Do you still remember it?" Elysia reminded as she gave a bowl full of rice to Nell.

"Ah, umm... My apologies, I just fell for these sushi and sashimi temptations." Yuuki instantly corrected her manners and ate gracefully. Even though she was just imitating Elysia"s table manners.

"Uhm, even though it"s just raw fish that"s been processed. It"s a little weird because these fish slices aren"t fishy or smelly at all. Normally, I"d only eat something well-cooked, but it seems my taste buds have changed a bit because of you, Elysia." Nell pierced the sliced fish with a fork and ate it.

"Mm, that"s what I thought before I ever tasted j.a.panese food. As long as it"s handled well by expert hands, then it"ll be fine and delicious." Elysia gave a smile and a thumbs up.

"j.a.panese food? Is our breakfast j.a.panese food?" Vanessa joined the conversation. She was interested in this type of fish variety food. It was as if various kinds of fish were being highlighted.

"Mm, yes, but that"s with my own adjustment. It would be different if these j.a.panese dishes were cooked by a real j.a.panese chef." Elysia glanced up slightly. She recalled when she was practicing cooking j.a.panese specialties in the past.

"j.a.panese? Hmm, where is that place? This name is so foreign to me." Nell put down her bowl and wiped her mouth with a tissue. She felt it was rude to continue eating without a break. Elysia hadn"t even had breakfast yet, but she had already finished two bowls of rice!?

"Ah, j.a.panese food comes from a country called j.a.pan. However, it doesn"t exist in this world." Elysia picked up a pair of wooden chopsticks and scooped some fish slices into her rice bowl.

For some reason, she got everyone"s attention just because of her little explanation. "Umm, is something wrong? Do you all want more? But please finish your food first."

"Well, nothing"s wrong. It"s just a little surprising to see different cutlery. Why don"t you use a spoon and fork, Elysia? Those sticks look hard to use." Nell put the thought "not exist in this world" aside and simply glanced at the nearby set of wooden sticks. She didn"t even know how to use that wooden sticks until just now.

"It"s actually easy to use once you get used to it. This pair of wooden sticks are called chopsticks. Enjoy eating~ Aria, please say aah~" Elysia used the chopsticks to feed Rhea.

"Aah~" Rhea opened her mouth to eat the sushi. "Munch, nom, munch... How about you, Master Elysia? You haven"t had breakfast either, have you?"

"I"ll have breakfast after I finish feeding you, Aria. I"m also checking on your growth. Hmm, yes, it looks like you"ve grown about a centimeter or two taller." Elysia smiled gently and fed Rhea again.

For some reason, she felt like a happy mother to see her daughter grow.

Seeing that, Nell and Yuuki were curious. They decided to try eating their food with chopsticks. Unfortunately, the results were pathetic, even though Elysia taught them how to use it several times.

In the end, Nell and Yuuki gave up and opted for the spoon and fork.

Even so, in Yuuki"s heart, she was envious of the elf baby. After all, that baby received a lot of attention and was so indulged by the divine.

Vanessa and the two brown cats just looked relaxed. They ate and drank by mouth, and they didn"t have to bother with cutlery.

While Gio didn"t even care about anything other than his big bowl full of fish. It was a dish made by his divine master. He continued to devour those fish as he didn"t want to remember that he was still in the sky.

For the next few moments, Elysia and her little group continued their journey toward the warm lands of the Beastkin Continent. They left the northern region and entered the central part of the continent.

Even though Elysia and Nell could figure out the direction, they could also get lost. After a two-hour flight through forests, mountains, and rivers, they arrived above a large, circular city with high white walls all around.

"Hum, I"m sure this place is Evroria City. Yeah, that can"t be wrong anymore." Nell checked the map in her hand and nodded with conviction.

"Huh? Why does the city look so lively? I can see a lot of decorations, lanterns, and all kinds of knick-knacks in that part of the city." Yuuki pointed toward a downtown area with a curious look.

"Hmm... Are they holding a festival, lantern rite?" Elysia also wondered, but they wouldn"t know the answer if they only looked from afar. Thus, she asks Nell to land as they need to get into town.

"Elysia, please wear this." Nell took something out of nowhere and put it on top of Elysia"s head. "Now it"s perfect."

"Huh, what is this?" Elysia subconsciously touched a headband above her head. But, she can feel a pair of cat ears there. "A cat ears headband?"

"Yup, and this is for you." Nell put on another headband for her big sister too.

"Eh, you have one the same color as my hair, Little Ne-, kohon, Helen?" Rhea checked the cat ears headband on her head. She knew it was mint green.

"Hehe, of course. This way, you can walk around that city safely. I just need to sit here and we can go." Nell landed on Elysia"s shoulder, then she gave an ok hand gesture.

"Hmm, I"m now a black cat girl, huh..." Elysia stroked her fake cat ears.

She reconsidered her group. Vanessa and the other beasts could act as pets too. So, everything would be fine as they would only be in that city for a while.

"Vann, Theo, Leila, and also Gio... Can you pretend to act like an ordinary animal for an hour or two? We will tour the city for a while and go to the palace in the middle of the city." Elysia crouched down and asked softly. She didn"t want to be seen as rude.

"That"s easy, master. We are three common cats and a wild tortoise." Vanessa patted Gio"s back. Then, she told him a few things about her master"s instructions.

"Rawr." Gio nodded as if he understood.

"I don"t mind. We just need to meow and act like cute attention-seeking cats, right? What do you think, honey? Why do you seem to be contemplating a serious problem?" Leila nodded, then turned to her husband.

"Ugh, to think the glorious winged tiger to degenerate and become pet cats. I"m sure our ancestor would be embarra.s.sed to witness us." Theo covered his face as he lamented his fate.

"You don"t want to come with us to that city? That"s fine. You just have to wait for us around here, and I"ll provide a barrier to protect you from any threat. How about it?" Elysia came up with another solution for the common good.

"No, it"s okay. For the time being, I"ll be a tame cat. Yes, that"s it..." Theo heaved a subtle sigh at the end of his sentence.

"Then, that"s good. Let"s go." Elysia cast her invisible magic to cover her little group.

After that, they all strolled without a hitch to enter the city.

Yuuki was very confused about what was going on. She and her group were there, but no one noticed their presence. It was as if they could not be seen by others.

The confused fox girl glanced at the little fairy on Elysia"s shoulder. She scratched her head because she also had doubts about that little fairy"s real ident.i.ty.

Even so, her attention was immediately diverted to see a festivity happening in front of her eyes.

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

Fireworks and firecrackers decorate the atmosphere. Laughter and happiness could be seen as far as the eye could see. And for sure, there were thousands of beastkins all around to celebrate a festival-like event.

"Woah... There are so many beastkins here! And, no one ran away as soon as they saw me!" Yuuki became excited. She smiled widely and opened her eyes wide to see the surroundings.

"You"re not a monster or anything, Yuuki. Why should they be afraid of you? Hundreds of years have pa.s.sed, that"s what you said. As I told you, you can rest easy as we are here." Elysia also smiled as she gave rea.s.surance to the excited girl.
