Chapter 176: Short Night Stroll

Sylvia could quickly tell who was knocking on her room door. Without the ceremony, she immediately opened the door for her friend.

"Ais, you've come. Please come in. We will talk inside." Despite saying that, Sylvia was already pulling her friend's hand into the room.

As she had practiced before, she closed the door silently and then installed a soundproof barrier, a normal soundproof barrier.

"En, here I come." Elysia nodded lightly and allowed herself to be led to the bed. She sat there with Sylvia by her side.

"Can you lend me your Swype, Ais?" Sylvia asked lightly.

The problem of concern for the first topic was that helpless Swype. Elysia simply nodded and took it from her Space Storage disguised using the white Space Bag Sylvia had given her.

Sylvia received the multipurpose messenger tool. She opened the back case and pressed an extra small button near the bottom of the Swype.

Unlike a typical battery or anything, Elysia saw a tiny cylinder popping up a little at the very top of the Swype. Sylvia took it to check the crystal inside the small cylinder tube, which served as a battery. The supposed purple crystal had turned ash gray.

"Aahh... It can't be used anymore... This crystal can't store energy anymore." Sylvia spoke in a neutral tone, even though the sentence she said should have sounded very unfortunate or something.

"Umm... I'm sorry, did I break it? Can it be repaired?" Elysia put on the expression of a guilty girl.

"Nay, Ais. You didn't damage anything. It's just, the power source for your Swype can't be used anymore because the power is completely depleted. This little thing shouldn't run out of power until it's completely discharged." Sylvia didn't blame anything or anyone. She wagged her hand lightly to calm her friend.

"Don't worry, Ais. If it breaks, then we just need to replace it with a new one~" Sylvia took out a small cylinder tube with a little purple crystal inside.

"So, is this the power source of our Swype? Hm, so a battery like this..." Elysia watched as Sylvia put the new battery into her Swype. After the rear case was installed, the dead Swype without power was finally successfully revived.

"What's a battery? If you mean Swype's power source, it's called Volta." Sylvia looked at her friend with an expression that indicated she didn't understand. This was the first time she heard that new name.

"Volta. Okay, that's the battery I meant earlier hehe... Was this your father's invention too?" Elysia giggled lightly. She didn't know the name of the thing, basically.

"Err... To be honest about this one, that's not... Take a quick look at the resources of each particular device in the Human Continent. You can also find a similar application, Ais. It's just different sizes, but all called Volta." Sylvia casually replied while checking some things from her friend's Swype.

Especially in messages as if she was a girlfriend checking many things from her boyfriend's smartphone. Unfortunately, she only found herself as the only message history there.

"Huh? Why is that? Humans and devils have similar technology? I'm sure there are many things that devils have, not available in this Human Continent." Elysia asked in surprise, not enough information to be processed.

"Well, Ais... If you look a little further back about war, whether it was a visible war or not, every race was also spying on the other races. Quite a few technologies and inventions were stolen, copied, and so on Volta itself is the original invention of the Dwarven Race which was copied by humans and devils." Sylvia wasn't afraid to leak that out at all.

For someone who was knowledgeable and knew a few things about what happened in the past, they just needed to dig deeper, and it was easy to figure this out.

"I see..." Somehow Elysia suddenly felt like an ignorant girl once again.

"Ah, never mind, Ais. This is your Swype, it's good and like new." Sylvia returned her friend's Swype with a sweet smile.

"Un, thank you."

"Just in case, I'll give you two spare Voltas for your Swype. Please don't let the power completely empty. Then, take this charger. This is to charge your Swype. For how to use it..." Sylvia took out a few things from her Space Bag and gave them to her friend. She didn't forget to explain how to use the charger too.

A few moments later, Elysia looked down at some of the items and crystals in her hands and lap. Sylvia just gave her two chargers, two tiny Voltas, and two relatively large Electro Crystals.

It was a simple way to recharge Swype with easy steps. She just needed to plug the connector into her Swype and use the charger's tool to grip the Electro Crystal.

With a bit of magic energy to trigger the crystal's electricity and keep the electricity from striking anywhere, five minutes was enough to charge from ten percent to its full limit. Elysia nodded in understanding as Sylvia taught her in practice.

After the charger lesson was finished and they talked about a few things, Elysia tried to nudge a little bit about what she encountered on the way here. "Thank you, Lys. Oh yes, how was the vacation with your father? Did you have fun?"

"Yes, quite fun..." Sylvia played with her black hair a little. She was a bit hesitant about calling it fun.

"Hmm? Did that disappoint you?"

"No, no, really... It was fun, yes, I had fun." Sylvia quickly shook her head. She didn't want the accusation to fall on her. Her father also reminded her not to tell anyone any details about their activities in that giant lake.

"If you say that, I'm happy too. Your father cares about you. Uh, by the way, where is your father, Lys? I don't see him in this room." Elysia looked right and left, looking for someone.

"Hmph! He locked himself in his room right next door. Don't mind him, oh no, ignore him, we are now a little free. Ais, want to take a walk tonight with me?" Sylvia snorted cutely. She was relieved the topic earlier wasn't brought up again. However, an idea to invite her friend out for a walk suddenly came.

"It's night, Lys... Moreover, where are we going at night like this?" Elysia felt a little helpless. Sylvia was already tugging her hand to leave together right away.

"What's night? It's still late afternoon, just a little over eight. The curfew is probably around ten or eleven o'clock. So, we can go anywhere in those two hours. I haven't taken a tour around the city. Let, let's go~" Sylvia rather insistent. This was a golden opportunity to go outside without her father knowing.

She wanted to break her father's prohibition not to leave the room until he came over. He allowed her friend to come tonight, and he forbade her out of worry. But, Ais was there with her, so she thought nothing terrible would happen.

Elysia just followed Sylvia out of the room and out of the inn quietly. Her hand was always held by Sylvia and dragged a little, although she didn't refuse either. If the current time hadn't entered the curfew, then that would be fine.

"Yes. We made it out without my father noticing us." Sylvia whispered happily and swung her friend's hand lightly.

'Hehe... Two little girls go out and walk around at night. Is this part of a night adventure in the city, no longer in the forest?' Elena made a comment as Sylvia pulled Elysia's hand again to walk somewhere.

'Mhn, I hope the city is peaceful, and no one disturbs us. We're just going out for a moment and just around this downtown area.' Elysia made a tour limit for Sylvia's sake.

She sympathized with Sylvia, the girl who seemed to be given too many restrictions simply because of her father. That was all she knew if the daughter was happy when she violated her parent ban.

'Hmm, make sure to just take a walk before curfew and bring Sylvia back to her room.' Elena didn't think there was anything wrong with accompanying this devil girl on her little tour.

'Un.' Elysia gave the confirmation.

"Ais, do you like street snacks? I've never tried them. Want to try it with me?" Sylvia pointed to a line of street vendors not far from them.

"Okay, I want to try it too. Wow, there are lots of street vendors. Is there something like a festival?" Elysia nodded in agreement with a smile.

"I don't know either. Alright, it's decided. Let's go over there and buy some while we wander around." Sylvia shrugged her shoulders slightly.

They changed their path to a row of street vendors. Two beautiful girls strolled towards their first destination hand in hand.

The two innocent girls did not know there were two men a little further behind them. The two men accidentally caught a glance at the two of them from near the hidden alley.

"Hey, Yaro, look over there. Those two girls, aren't they Aivlys and Aisyle?" A relatively thin but tall adventurer nudged his friend.

"Yeah, I saw them too, Bob. Please don't elbow my belly like that. It sucks, you know?" Yaro stroked his slightly fat and convex stomach.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry." Bob looked around the two girls to check the presence of that atrocious man.

"Did you see their father there? I couldn't find him anywhere." Yaro also checked to make sure.

"No, I didn't find him anywhere. Shh... Want to try tonight, Yaro, my friend?" Bob grinned widely, he spoke in a soft whisper.
