My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 453: The Family She Left Behind

"Ellie, I think... I think- I don’t think this is good." Erina held her towel tightly with a fierce blush on her face.

"Don’t be embarrassed. We are all girls here. You have given your consent beforehand. Just lie down and let this big sister take good care of you~" Elysia gently pushed Erina down.

"I, I don’t know. Do I need to undress?" Erina looked aside, too embarrassed to face her situation.

"My, my~ it’s like Ely five years ago. If you wear your dress, how can we draw a beast mark tattoo technique on your body? This will not leave a scar or real mark. With this technique, you can multiply your physical power by several folds temporarily." Luna rested her cheek on her hand, amused by Erina’s embarrassment.

It brought back memories of Elysia when she had to draw that beast tattoo to strengthen Elysia’s physical endurance.

"Hm, it would be dangerous if you were still a glass cannon. Just close your eyes. It doesn’t hurt. I will make you comfortable." Elysia put her head next to Erina’s face, looking at the shy girl with a sweet smile.

"Mm, I believe you." Erina felt even more embarrassed because it sounded like something else, but she trusted Elysia. Thus, she surrendered her body under Elysia’s care, but Luna was also there.

For the next few minutes, the room was filled with several moans. Luna drew the reinforcement magic mark with a brush and soul power, but Elysia was the one who did the finishing touch.

Once the beast tattoo mark was done, the marks all over Erina’s body became semi-transparent.

"Haah... Huff..." Erina gasped for breath, but her eyes were rolled up, half unconscious.

"Oh my, are we sending her to high heaven?" Luna covered her mouth in amusement. This kind of outcome was something she had expected, considering Erina was still new to soul touch, especially from Elysia.

"Good." Elysia covered Erina’s bare body with a towel and did her magic to help Erina recover.

"It’s a wild ride. Hmm?" Erina covered her face, but she peeked between her fingers. When she noticed her reflection in the mirror, she discovered she resembled people in berserk mode.

She encountered several people with a limit break ability back on Earth, and some of them would activate this kind of full-body tattoo when they used their power to exceed their limits.

"That looks kind of cool, right? Wait a few minutes, and it will blend under your skin. You can activate it anytime with a mind command and your physical power will multiply depending on the use of spiritual power." Elysia explained a little.

"Mm, I’ve encountered this kind of ability users on Earth. Who would have thought I would have one now? But, Ellie... can I see your beast tattoo technique?" Erina touched her skin and then looked at Elysia with a curious gaze.

"Sure. Since it originated from Luna, we can be considered half soul fox." Elysia activated her beast mark, and purplish-black beast tattoos emerged on her skin, spread across her entire body. She looked pretty demonic and wild, but she did a menacing pose and showed her awesomeness. "A wild Elysia has appeared. My physical prowess multiplied."

"Heehee~ I’ll catch you." Erina understood the joke and chuckled.

"This technique is for precaution. Anyway, we’ll go south to visit the family I once belonged to." Elysia deactivated her beast mark.

"Uhm, may I know why you said it as if it was the past?" Erina sensed the atmosphere suddenly changed, and Elysia’s expression became somewhat sad.

"I think you’ve heard it. When I first transmigrated to this world after my death on Earth, I was half-fused with Ai. But, Sylvi killed me." Elysia said it flatly as if she no longer thought it meant anything.

After all, she held no deep sentiment towards Alisha’s past, especially since Ai never bothered with it.

"I see, so that’s why... I’m amazed that you forgave Sylvi, and Ellie. She’s so obedient to you now." Erina hugged Elysia’s arm, concerned about Elysia’s feelings.

"That doesn’t matter now. We’ve moved on. Even though it’s complicated, we need to say hello and check their well-being. Get dressed. Everyone is getting ready to leave." Elysia pressed her palm to Erina’s cheek, giving it a tender pinch.

"Ahn~ my legs are still weak because of your soul touch, Ellie. I have no strength. Also, I might not be able to marry. How will you take responsibility?" Erina puffed out her cheeks.

"I will take good care of you then. I’ll also dress you up beautifully." Elysia put her finger to her cheek with a meaningful smile. She summoned her dressing room and dressed Erina up beautifully.

Elysia bid her farewell to Alexander’s family and Arthur’s family before teleporting her group to the southern kingdom.

He-Dao’s group and Kazuma’s family joined the fray. The former would follow wherever Elysia went, but the dragon king only wanted to take a look at the Goddesses’ activity, mainly because Nara insisted on following the Goddesses.

As for the Elven Empress and Fairy Empress, they received a particular assignment given by Lifa, supervised by Hea and Celes.

Reinhard was the knight clan who served the Cuttexus Kingdom from generation to generation. Harold Reinhard, the Reinhard Clan’s patriarch and also Emperor Elliott’s confidant.

Despite being the same age as the Emperor, Harold’s appearance had aged greatly due to his selfless services and sacrifices for the Cuttexus Kingdom’s glory.

As a grandfather, he only wished for his homeland would remain safe and secure together with his family. Unfortunately, a tragedy five years ago hit him hard. His eldest son’s family was slaughtered by a high devil, but he had no other choice but to forgive that devil.

Everything was caused by Elysia’s involvement, Alisha. After death, she was revived by a Goddess and became the Goddess’ disciple, but she lost her memory,.

"You have attained a godhood with the help of many Goddesses. However, are you doing well in the upper realm? The Reinhard Clan will always wait for your return." Harold rubbed his son’s family photo. With his slightly blurry eyes, he looked at the little girl in the photo with a longing gaze.

Although his youngest granddaughter would no longer regard him as a grandfather with her new identity as Elysia, the Goddess’ disciple who had attained godhood herself, she would remain as his beloved granddaughter, the apple of his eye.

*Knock* *Knock*

Someone knocked on the door, and Harold put down the photo, right next to his other son’s family photo. "Enter."

A knight in a blue mantle, the eldest granddaughter of the Reinhard Family, entered the room with chivalrous politeness.

She put her fist on her chest in a knight’s salute and reported the situation at the border, especially the area around the southern river contaminated by the water demons.

"So, what does Elliott want from me, Rosie? I’m sure he already has a solution to deal with the southern river invasion." Harold lit his cigar.

"Emperor Elliott issued a summon to all the higher-ups to the meeting hall right now. He has plans regarding this matter, but he wants to hear everyone’s suggestions." Rosie’s eyes twitched because his grandfather was so casual in dealing with things.

She also wasn’t happy for her grandfather to smoke in his old age, but she couldn’t do anything about it. He deserved to enjoy whatever he wanted to do now.

"Sigh, that man never wants to give me time to rest, huh... I wonder when I can finally retire." Harold sighed, looking at the palace through the window.

"Grandfather, he is our Emperor." Rosie smiled slightly, feeling it was a bit amusing. She also harbored some complaints toward Emperor Elliott.

"Well, then let’s leave now. Take it slow. We’ll go with the usual horse-drawn carriage." Harold waved his hand, sending his granddaughter away.

"Then, I’ll wait for you at the front gate, grandfather." Rosie bowed respectfully before leaving the room.

A few minutes later, Rosie was ready to escort her grandfather to answer Emperor Elliott’s summon.

However, the sunny day suddenly became cloudy, or more precisely, something massive blocked the sunlight from the sky.

Rosie and everyone looked up, wide-eyed in shock at a big floating metal warship coming towards them as if it was about to crush them.

"Move, move away from that floating warship!" Harold shouted out loud, ordering all the knights to quickly move.

"Neigh!" The horses galloped by the knights, and went away from the floating warship’s shadow, including Harold’s carriage.

Unfortunately, the floating warship didn’t land and remained hovering several tens of meters off the ground, stopping around the mansion’s entrance.

"Who is the bastard who comes to visit with an entrance like this? State your purpose or we will have no choice but to shoot you down!" Harold raised his fist in anger, but he remained alert.

"Grandfather, please step back. I will handle this. They may be strong enemies." Rosie leaped from her horse, standing in front of her grandfather.

"Rosie! Long time no see~" Elysia waved her hand from the top of the warship cheerfully. Ai stood by her side, remaining calm and silent.

"El, Elysia?!" Rosie widened her eyes wide, gasping in shock.

Elysia, the Goddess’ disciple who attained godhood under several Goddesses’ care, and the one who led the divine group to save the world from Ruvoid’s everlasting terror. More importantly, her lovely little sister returned! Even though it was actually a cousin, Alisha, now Elysia, would remain as her beloved little sister!

Rosie waited for nothing more and leaped high into the sky, landing on the floating warship to welcome Elysia and everyone.
