"Huff..." Elysia finally sighed and put her smartphone on the bed. Her feelings became so complicated and mixed that she didn't know how to react to the information she had just found on the internet.
To be honest, she could hardly believe that her family would do such a thing to what she had left for them. Ali was reported to have passed away two years ago, and they-
Elena hadn't woken up at the moment, and Rhea was resting inside the divine bracelet. Elysia truly wanted to pour her heart out to Elena, but now wasn't the proper time for that. Also, she couldn't honestly believe what she had just read.
The internet might include all kinds of information she might need, but all of it might not prove to be accurate. Certainty must be ascertained with one's own eyes.
"Why do you look disappointed, Ely? What did you just see on this Swype? Hm, this isn't Swype, is it? It's different and looks more advanced." Sylvia flipped Elysia's mysterious device and tapped the screen curiously. After checking once more, she was sure it wasn't the Swype she gave to Elysia.
"Nevermind, I need to check everything in person. Let's go, Sylvi. Accompany me somewhere, and I'll show you around after that." Elysia shook her head and got out of bed.
"Mkay~ I'll take control of the Gravy Ark, and you take care of our invisibility. Ah, you also want to try sending words to our friends in Vrelenia, right? Is your magic energy enough for today, Ely?" Sylvia jumped off the bed, still clutching the more fantastic version of Swype.
"I think it will be enough if we share the tasks." Elysia nodded slightly and looked around the room. She didn't want any of her belongings to be left here.
"I'll help too!" Vanessa raised her hand to volunteer.
"Mm, thanks, Vann." Elysia responded with a warm smile. After that, they prepared to leave the room.
"Um, Ely, can you lend me this? Is this your world's version of Swype? Teach me how to use it." Sylvia tugged the hem of Elysia's jacket while showing the mysterious device.
"Sure, it's not Swype, but a smartphone. The principle is a bit similar, but much more sophisticated and structured. I haven't learned all the functions of this device yet, but I'll tell you how to use it." Elysia just fulfilled that request, but she suddenly felt hungry and held her stomach reflexively.
Sylvia smiled and tilted her head slightly. "Are you hungry, Ely? Cooking will take time, and I don't want instant food. Let's go to the hotel restaurant. I'm sure they have some delicious dishes for us."
"En." Elysia nodded in agreement. She then beckoned for her white cat to come into her arms before leaving the room.
The first things that caught their attention were two men and many wolves in the distance. Even so, Elysia didn't want to get involved in any other's business. She grabbed Sylvia's hand before they walked away.
"Wow, that wolf is way bigger than its comrades. It's definitely not a bear, hum." Sylvia shrugged her shoulders and returned her focus to the smartphone. It was indeed very sophisticated than Swype.
She asked Elysia to teach her to play the instrument, and the request was granted. Their destination was the hotel's main building, the restaurant hall.
"..." Elysia blinked her eyes in confusion as she looked at the menu book. She didn't know what she would order because she had no idea what was written there.
"Uhm, please serve us your best dish for two people. And, one best dish for a cat." Elysia returned the menu book to the waitress.
"Understood, is there anything else, young miss?" The waitress asked politely.
"Mm, nothing else. Just give us the best of choice recommendations." Elysia shook her head slightly.
"Alright, please wait a moment. Your dishes will be served soon~" The waitress then walked away.
"What did you order for us, Ely?" Sylvia put Elysia's smartphone into her jacket pocket and looked to the side.
"I'm just asking for the best recommendation they can serve to two people and one cat." Elysia rubbed Vanessa's head and reminded her cat to act like a cat.
At that moment, a young man suddenly came over and gave a polite greeting with a sparkle. "Good afternoon on this beautiful day, young ladies. It will be very lonely for me to have lunch alone. Would you mind sharing a table with me?"
Sylvia only glanced at the young man and paid no more attention to him. She didn't know what he was talking about after all.
But it was different for Elysia. She was aware that this man was stalking them from behind just now. He even said hello in English just because he was eavesdropping on them behind the concrete pillar.
Elysia looked at the other table. Sure enough, only their table was occupied.
"Very well, you may sit there." Elysia pointed her palm at the stool on the other side of the table.
Morten replied with a charming smile and sat opposite the beauties. He clasped his hands on the table while looking at the two beautiful girls in front of him.
These girls were indeed very captivating, perhaps at the pinnacle of beauty? One was like a pure angel, and the other was like a seductive devil. They were contradictory, but in fact, they were in harmony. It was absolutely worth it to wait more than half a day just for this... Indeed an incredible sight to behold.
"Ely, this young man is disturbing the atmosphere. His smile looks annoying. Can I throw him out?" Sylvia snorted softly.
"No, no. He might just want to eat, but he doesn't want to be alone. I'll handle it." Elysia prevented Sylvia from doing anything that might bring them trouble.
"It is truly a gift and a blessing to be able to witness such a beautiful sight. Please introduce me, I am Morten Gaarder. May I know your name?" Morten immediately came out of his light trance and introduced himself.
"Wouldn't you like to order something, sir?" Elysia pointed at the waitress, who was waiting beside the man.
"Oh, hum, you're right. I'll order the usual, miss waitress." Morten gave the eye signal to the waitress.
The waitress just nodded and left.
"So, may I have your name? I didn't mean anything, but I heard you came without a guide? That's something that worries me quite a bit as an enforcer of justice and safety." Morten raised the previous conversation. He wouldn't let this girl evade his questions.
"I'm Elysia. Thanks for your concern. We're on our way back, and we're fine without a guide." Elysia shook her head.
"What a beautiful and charming name, in tune with your beautiful self. Anyway, which region are you going back to? Maybe, we have the same destination and can go together." Morten wore a friendly expression and gave a prince charming smile.
"Looks like our destinations aren't the same, sir. We're heading to Asia." Elysia shook her head slightly.
"..." Morten was silent for a moment. He would probably be fine to go to Europe or North America just for these beautiful girls, but if it was Asia… His mission would be declared a failure then.
For that reason, he looked for other ways to get to know more about these two girls. He is also trying to get their contacts. Unfortunately, the black-haired girl was adept at playing with words and changing the topic, and the white-haired girl was indifferent.
"..." Morten ate his food with some irritation. This was the first time for him to be toyed with in a conversation by a girl. The black-haired girl was a bit tricky.
The girl who had the smartphone was the white-haired one, but he didn't really understand what she was talking about. It was a foreign language that he had never heard before.
"Looks like it's time for us to go, sir. Thanks for the treat." Elysia nudged Sylvia's arm, and they rose from their seats.
"Eh?" Morten was stunned for a moment when he realized the girls were walking away. Were they done with their food? It was swift!
"Excuse me, sir. Here's the bill." The waitress handed Morten a piece of paper.
"Oh shit. I'll pay for it later. I have to go after them first." Morten rushed after the two girls.
"..." The waitress was shocked to see the man running away from responsibilities. Even so, she couldn't do anything because that young master was definitely coming back.
"Wow, big wolfie. What are you doing here?" Sylvia patted the big wolf's head.
"He's waiting for his master? Ah, he's here." Elysia looked back and heaved a subtle sigh. She had to find a way to make this young master stop bothering them.
"Haha, did my Iskald catch your eye? This wolf is big enough to be a ride. Would you be interested in a ride? I have a helicopter parked not far from here. How about I take you to Greenland and you can fly to Asia from there?" Morten patted his comrade and climbed onto his wolf's back.
Vanessa meowed in beast language to give a strict order to the wolf. Her speech was clear, and her order was coercive, also with mental pressure.
The big wolf was feeling intimidated. The small white cat turned out to be a superior beast despite her harmless appearance.
Therefore, the big wolf immediately left as soon as possible with his master still on his back.
"Hey, why are you suddenly running for no reason!? Stop, I said stop!" Morten screamed in surprise and confusion, but his wolf didn't hear him and kept running.
Elysia and Sylvia just looked at each other and chuckled. They then gave Vanessa a headpat before they walked away.. It was time for them to leave the North Pole.
