Chapter 169: Hang Out Together
Seeing the bright expression on Ella's face, it was easy for them to guess what was written on the talisman.
Even so, one of them had to ask her to be more sure, Evelyn ended up becoming the representative. "Um, Ella, how? What did your grandfather say?"
"En, he allowed me. But, because my grandfather was worried, he only allowed me to tour the downtown area, inner-city circle." Although the area to explore was quite limited, it already made Ella happy.
It was no longer the area around the academy and the Holy Cathedral. She could freely walk around the city's inner circle with her friends, without the need to be accompanied by Holy Knights whatsoever.
"That's great. It means your grandfather really cares about you. Now that we are three people, we should change to casual dress before leaving." Elena suggested lightly. She received positive responses from two girls who were finally included in Elysia's long-empty friend list.
The three of them returned to the Ella Family's private area, then immediately left the cathedral.
Meanwhile, in one of the Holy Cathedral towers, in a room overlooking the Holy Bridge and Serene River, there was a gallant grandfather clad in the robe of a Cardinal. He observed the magnificent bridge that connected the mainland of the capital city and the island of the Holy Cathedral.
To be more precise, he watched the three girls walking there cheerfully until the three cheerful girls who seemed like they didn't have the burden of life and sin crossed the Holy Bridge.
Alexander sighed softly. He had just allowed his granddaughter to go with her friends to tour the city center without bodyguards, in any form.
Even so, he thought it would be fine. In the inner circle, it was relatively safe during the day. He just didn't want the three girls to get into unnecessary trouble.
After he took another glance at the three girls who had walked quite a distance and disappeared because of the building blocking his view, he turned around with a slight smile etched on his face.
In his steps, he put the golden white talisman back into his robe. It was clearly written there, a beautiful message with a cute symbol from his granddaughter to expressed her gratitude.
Somewhere in the downtown area, three girls clad in casual dresses with colors similar to their eyes. They strolled around the city as if they were looking for a nice place to hang out together.
Elena was curious and also excited to explore some places she and Elysia had never visited. She also involuntarily became the guide of the group of three girls and one cat. While Ella just followed while proposing a few suggestions.
The three beautiful girls walking around downtown had already caught some attention from the other passers-by. Still, no one dared to bother the three girls for no reason.
They only glanced at three beautiful girls who smiled beautifully, as if it was an eyewash to soothe the cloudiness of the world a little.
On the other hand, even though the three girls knew some of the people around were stealing glances at them, they were just letting it go. As long as they were not bothered, they wouldn't be bothered by just a stranger's gaze.
Elena took this opportunity to help Elysia to memorize important places in general. When she had explored several districts and areas in the city center, she felt that was enough.
Now, it was time to enjoy the free time. It was shopping, spending Elysia's money on things Elena wanted for them together! Elysia had to obey, and Elena could choose anything to her heart content!
It was late afternoon when Elena had done a lot of shopping and grocery with Evelyn and Ella. The two of them also bought a few things.
Some welfare for Vanessa was also not overlooked. The white cat obtained a sufficient stock of delicious food, with a wide variety.
After that, they decided to hang out at a cafe that they passed on their tour.
'Uuu... Sister Elena, come to think of it, you were so extravagant today... it was already 1290 gold coins you spent on all of that...' Elysia still felt a little embarrassed. Elena bought some things that were not granted while Elysia was shopping before going to the academy.
'Hehe... What are you complaining about, Ely? It's just a little over a thousand gold coins. You have a lot more than that. I've been obliging you to buy some types of stockings, safety short tight pants, and some of your request.' Elena chuckled with amusement. She was satisfied.
'And you bought such lingerie and swimwear... Are you going to tease someone by using that sexy lingerie?'
'Hm? Ahem, trust me, we need that. We need all kinds of battle gear. I also bought some adventurous dresses, accessories, and so on. Then, two real decent odachi, for Celestia's sake.' Elena spoke in a confident tone and rendered Elysia speechless for a moment.
'Huff... Well, you're talented enough to buy a large part of your today's shopping list without Eve and Ella even realizing it...'
'Of course! I just need to take a quick look and put it on a shopping list. I know your size very well hehe... Thanks for your advanced perception. I can do this much faster.' Elena made fair use of those abilities. All safe without Elysia's embarrassment and without the need to try before buying.
'Hum, okay, today is your day. Did you have fun today, Sister Elena?' Elysia immediately changed the topic. They had enough to talk about this.
'Not bad. I will be happier when I see your blushing face, your cute expression, and your silly behavior. En, it's always top-notch.'
Although Elena didn't nod with a smile, Elysia knew Elena was taking the confirmation and statement a little seriously.
'So did you buy all that embarrassing lingerie and swimwear for me?' Elysia asked with some doubt. Sometimes it was hard for her to read Elena's way of thinking.
'For a better world and our common well-being, yes. You, my sweet little sister who will wear it, I will enjoy the scenery and offer lots of beautiful compliments. Don't be embarrassed. It will only be between the two of us.' Elena persuaded Elysia for the welfare of her eyes, and the latter just realized it.
'...' Elysia didn't even know what to answer to it. She blushed but remained silent. Elena took it as confirmation in silence, and she continued to focus on the world again.
"Ely, I think the interesting cafe we ??passed this afternoon is around here ... But, where is it? Did we pass that, or did we get lost?" Evelyn looked right and left. She felt a little confused.
"No, it's the right path, and we didn't miss it. We need to walk forward at least a hundred meters." Elena denied it with reassurance. She knew more than two of these girls who followed her like her new obedient little sister.
"Hmm-hmm, Ely, today you are so detailed, confident, and reliable. Even though I am a native in this city, it is you who have become our guide." Ella hummed a little, complimented her friend with a smile.
"Am I like that? Hmm, yes, I'm reliable but not for everything. It's just that you just found out about one of my traits, Ella." Elena answered with a little amusement. She represented herself and Elysia.
Experience and broad insight made them wise. So it was clear whether Elysia or Elena were two figures that others could unconsciously rely on for many things, but not everything. It was just that they had just complement each other with their perspectives and opinions since they were stranded in this world.
"Ah, like that. Then I might be able to know more things about your traits in the future." Ella thought that statement sounded unique and impressive.
"Oh, yeah, you're right, Ely. That's the cafe we were looking for." Evelyn pointed to a cafe signboard that had cute writing and design.
Delish Yum Yum was the cafe name that was unique and added with a signboard that attracted girls' attention, like them.
Apart from that, it was a cozy cafe that provided many things and could cater to different categories of people who came. Adults, teenagers, children, or a couple, the customers were free to choose a regular table or private room according to category.
Shortly before they stepped forward to approach the cozy and unique cafe, three young men suddenly passed from the crossroads near the cafe.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Elysia, Miss Evelyn, and um, Miss Gabriella?" One of the young men asked with some hesitation, but he seemed quite sure he was not mistaken.
Even though the three girls in front of him only showed their backs, wore casual dresses, and had different hairstyles from the last time he remembered them... He was sure these three girls were the correct ones from the names he mentioned.
Also, it could not be wrong because there was a white cat that he knew very well. That hateful cat was in the arms of a girl with black ponytail hair who he thought was Elysia.
