"Can we?" Hea looked at her mama with a look full of hope. Her mama was a Goddess, and she knew her mama would bring her twin sister here regardless of the distance.
"You can ask the Mirror of Desire to invite Celes here. Apart from communicating face-to-face, this can also be a teleportation portal. The distance between the Elven Continent and the Fairy Continent isn't too far, and it's an easy thing for this artifact." Lifa tapped the table with her finger next to the small mirror.
"Mm, fine. I'll try to convey my desire." Hea looked back at the mirror on the table, at her twin sister, to be more precise. She took a deep breath and raised her protruded hands again as if it was a summoning ritual. "O, the Mirror of Desire, I am your new master, and I ask you to bring my twin sister Celes here now."
A golden-green magic circle appeared in the mirror, and it rippled like the surface of the water. Celes was just waiting with some curiosity and excitement, but she was suddenly drawn into the mirror.
"Wha, wha, what is this!?" Celes panicked from shock, but she immediately sank into the mirror.
"Celes, what's going on? Why are you screaming, uhm? Wha, wha, a wormhole of no return! I'm being sucked in!" Yralissa flew to the top of the tree because she heard a scream, Celes' private place. However, she was sucked into a whirlpool so suddenly.
*Plop*
Celes was thrown out of the mirror in front of Hea.
"Whoah, that's great teleportation, and I'm dizzy. The world is spinning. Where am I? Oh, hello, Hea. Why did you become three?" Celes rolled around the table like a ball that had lost its way. She still felt a little dizzy from being teleported through a space vortex.
*Plop*
A fairy clad in a fancy turquoise robe was also thrown out of the mirror before the light went out. It became an ordinary blurry mirror again.
"Uuh, what was that? Where am I now? Is this another world?" Yralissa held her head because she was dizzy. The world seemed to be spinning, but she knew she had just been thrown elsewhere.
"Welcome to Elevenia Woodland! Uhm, a fairy is also teleported by a magic mirror? How can that be?" Hea welcomed her twin sister with great enthusiasm. Yet, she suddenly became confused by the arrival of a mysterious fairy.
"Eh? Is that you, Yralissa? Why are you here?" Celes rubbed her eyes as if not believing what she was seeing. She had no idea why Yralissa was here.
"Eshvelenora Woodland? Celes? Wait, this is on the Elven Continent!? I was around when I heard your screams, and I was sucked into a dimensional wormhole when I came to check. Hm? You all… This isn't another world, right? Were we teleported here?" Yralissa stood up and looked around. She found that she was in the vicinity of the divine group. They were having dinner.
"Hmm, this is an unexpected thing. Yralissa, you need to keep this little secret only to yourself. I was going to convey this through Celes, but since it's like this and you're here, we'd better get you and Ashera involved." Lifa blinked her eyes several times and made a decision.
"What do you mean by that? I'm afraid that I don't understand anything." Yralissa scratched her head.
"I gave an artifact to Hea and Celes to exchange information between each other. I don't care what is happening between the elves and fairies, but Hea and Celes are under my protection. Do you understand?" Lifa told the conclusion of her stand towards her children.
"I see. Is that how... We can call for help when the situation gets out of control through Celes?" Yralissa gave a slight bow of respect.
"Yes, you can." Lifa nodded slightly.
Yralissa heaved a sigh of relief. It was as if some of the burdens in her mind had just been lifted.
"Celes, come play with me. Oh yeah, this is a vial of high-quality fertilizer. It's really delicious." Hea pulled Celes away and gave a vial to her twin sister.
"O-oh~ Thank you. It smells delicious, but I'll save this for later. Let's play!" Celes received the vial and flew away to her sister's tree body.
"Wait for me!" Hea immediately flew after.
"It's so nice." Elysia smiled in amusement to see those two little fluffy balls playing cheerfully.
'Ely, I'll have a chat with Rhea and the others. You should gather with your friends. They want to spend time with you, but they can't ask for that because you're always by my side, especially your first friend.' Elena gently pinched Elysia's thigh for attention.
'Uh, un, okay.' Elysia glanced at her friends, especially Evelyn and Ella. She then left Elena's side and gathered with her friends.
"Let's see, Ashera will probably be here in a few minutes. Will she be surprised to find us here?" Elena rested her chin on her palm.
"She will definitely be surprised to see I'm here, fufu. But is it alright to bring Celes here? I remember she can't go too far from her tree body." Yralissa grasped her hand with little worry.
"She is a Saint-level sacred tree. Her avatar really shouldn't go too far from her tree body. However, she can cross the distance limit for half a day at maximum under certain circumstances. If it's more than that, she will weaken and must immediately rest in her tree body." Lifa looked up. Hea and Celes suddenly stopped playing and came closer.
"Just half a day? Can we be like you if I get stronger, mama? I also want to go around the world like you and play with Celes all the time." Hea received a new motivation to become stronger.
"Of course. The strong can change destiny, history, and reality. If you ascend to Emperor-level, you can play without distance restrictions for three straight days just fine." Lifa gave an example with a meaningful smile.
"O-oh! We've been lazing around for the past few years. Let's get stronger together, Celes. That way, we can stay overnight or join mama's group to save the world!" Hea jumped up and down in mid-air.
"En!" Celes became more and more excited and determined to ascend to the next rank as soon as possible.
"However, that's for later. For now, let's play around. I'll show you my private space and flower garden." Hea took her twin sister back up to the tree with a cheerful laugh.
"They look like they are having fun. Listening to their pure determination, I also want to get stronger soon. I want to start training in training, but the situation and time are unfavourable for that." Elysia muttered and closed her eyes.
"You are already powerful, Ely. Your master even often invites you to practice using her divine magic. It should be me who should say that. I am the weakest here." Evelyn pouted.
"In that case, you can join us in our training after the inspection visit to the Devil Continent. However, it is no ordinary training." Elysia smiled mysteriously.
"Even if it's intense training, I'll still be willing to participate. Please allow me to come along, Ely!" Evelyn held Elysia's arm with determination shining in her eyes.
"May I know what is your motivation?" Elysia wanted to know what her friend had in mind.
"I want to protect many people like you, Ely. However, I have one thing that is really bothering me. I must be able to catch up to you, or I will age and die. You may become a Godly being soon, but I will fight." Evelyn clenched her fists.
"Hmm, do you want to be with us for the rest of your life? You are a princess of the Ariatha Kingdom. You have a duty as a royal family, right? You may one day marry the prince of your dreams and give offspring to your family." Elysia muttered while looking up at the night sky. She didn't know what she was feeling until she said that.
"I can delegate the task to my brother. He is the successor king, not me. My family will not demand anything if I become a Goddess servant." Evelyn conveyed an idea. Now might be the best time for her to tell her best friend about her proposal.
"Goddess servant? Who will you serve? Will you become the Goddess of Blessing's angel just like Ella?" Elysia pointed her hand at Ella.
Ella only responded with a gentle smile.
"I've thought about it, and I've decided. You are a Goddess candidate, and I beg you to appoint me as your servant, Ely. I may not be as good as Vanessa or as reliable as Yuuki, your vassals. However, I will do my best for your interests. I will be your first loyal follower!" Evelyn clasped her hands in prayer, but her eyes sparkled as if she could see a beautiful and bright future.
Sylvia munched her food and raised her hand. She swallowed her food and then spoke. "You won't be the first to register, Eve. Ely already has me, Yuuki, Vann, Gio, and Erina. So, you'll only be Ely's sixth follower no matter the reason."
"Sixth? But, Erina? Who is she?" Evelyn widened her eyes in disbelief.
"She is Ely's new follower on Earth. She is a kind-hearted, beautiful human girl with long brown hair. Ah, her superpower is also very unique, and she is a famous human from a renowned family." Sylvia patted her chin while imagining Erina's figure in her mind.
"Ely, you got a 'girl-friend' on Earth in such a short time? Why are there so many beautiful girls around you, even the Goddesses." Evelyn loosened her shoulders as if she felt defeated.
Elysia just scratched her head in confusion about what she needed to say.
"But, worry not. Ely welcomes any wonderful girl as her followers. The requirements might be tough if it's a boy, but you just need to follow the rules and welcome to the group~" Sylvia whispered something into Evelyn's ear.
It was like a devil's whisper, which was very seductive and reassuring. Evelyn simply sank into that belief and nodded in understanding. She still needed to hear Elysia's response regarding her proposal. It was significant in determining her future. "Ely, can I?"
"Mm, all right. But, just so you know, I'm still a human, not a Goddess." Elysia gave Evelyn a head pat.
"Thank you very much, Ely! I will serve you the best as your sixth follower!" Evelyn paid her respects with a bow. She received several head pats from Elysia and muttered under her breath. "Heehee~ I did it. I'm number six, hum. This way, Lynn and whoever it is will only be after me."
