Having spent some time in the sea during the battle, she wasn't really keen on going back into the water. However, after hearing Elena's suggestion, she simply followed her to the fishing spot.
Elira used Elena's spare fishing rod, and the bait was also borrowed from Elena.
Elena had originally planned to teach Elira some fishing techniques, but Elira caught a fish shortly after casting her line, and it was an extremely rare species.
This made Elena swallow back the words she had prepared.
She glanced silently at her buoy, muttering to herself, "It's just beginner's luck."
Just as she was muttering to herself, Elira brought out another fish.
For the next half hour, Elira kept catching fish, and each fish she caught was bigger than the last, making Elena wonder if she was using some kind of power.
However, in her perception, there was no magical fluctuation emanating from Elira.
After throwing a fish nearly as tall as a person onto the ground, Elira also lowered the fishing rod and muttered somewhat boredly, "This is boring. It's too tiring to keep catching fish. You're much more comfortable here, you can just sit there and not have to think about anything."
Looking into Elira's sincere gaze, Elena silently clenched her fists, even suspecting that the other was deliberately mocking her.
Perhaps sensing Elena's murderous aura, Elira shrank back slightly and said, "Um, I'm going swimming. I'll come back later."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Elena to say anything more.
Once she was away from Elena, Elira suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a talent called "Daughter of the Sea," which could enhance her combat power in the sea and also make her more compatible with the sea.
Perhaps that's why I keep fishing?
Elira hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to explain. She felt that the more she explained, the more upset Elena would be with her, so she decided to pretend that nothing had happened.
After Elira left, Elena sighed softly and stared intently at her buoy.
Just then, her buoy finally moved, and she excitedly began to reel in the line, regardless of its size, as long as she didn't miss out.
That was her original thought, until she hung up a tattered shoe, and Elena's expression became subtle.
She took a deep breath and silently lowered the fishing rod. Since these fish were refusing to listen to reason, she couldn't be blamed!
Countless flying swords shot out and hovered above the fishing spot. Each flying sword had a fishing line formed from condensed magic power. She refused to believe that this would still catch fish!
In the distance, Nora, who was playing in the water, glanced curiously at the spectacular scene and asked in confusion, "What is Elena doing?"
"They're probably fishing, aren't they?" Elira said, not entirely sure.
"Oh, she was fishing. I thought she was going to fight."
Nora, who lacks patience, has absolutely no interest in fishing. If she really wanted fish, she could simply cleave the sea surface—simple, direct, and efficient.
Nora, who had only been thinking about it, simply pulled out her god-slaying weapon and slashed down with a giant sword.
With a tremendous sound, a giant wave erupted on the sea surface, and a large number of sea fish were stunned and floated on the surface.
Just as Nora was admiring her masterpiece, Elena's angry voice came from afar: "Nora, you deserve to die!"
She was just about to catch a fish when Nora's commotion scared all the fish away.
The flying swords that Elena had used as fishing rods all flew towards Nora.
The previous battles hadn't been satisfying enough for her, and seeing Elena's attack brought an excited expression to her face.
The noise from their fight also woke up the sleeping Elise.
Elena and Nora's expressions froze at that moment.
Spicy balls!
Book 1: Chapter 660 The Compassionate Elise
Elena and Nora were prepared to be lectured, but Elise, who had been woken up, just sat there quietly with a somewhat gloomy expression.
The two exchanged a glance, but Elena reacted faster, teleporting directly to Elise's side and whispering, "Sorry, I accidentally made a noise..."
Before Elena could finish speaking, she noticed that Elise's expression seemed a little off. Her beautiful face showed no gloom or annoyance at being woken up; instead, she looked at Elise with loving eyes, like a mother looking at her child.
That look in her eyes made Elena very uncomfortable; she even wondered if Elise was planning something strange.
"Elise?"
The call brought Elise back to her senses, and the eerie tenderness in her eyes vanished.
"I wasn't feeling quite right just now," Elise said, rubbing her forehead as she recalled what had just happened.
"Is it because you overused the power of pleasure?" Elena asked curiously.
Elise pointed to the magic markings on her lower abdomen and rolled her eyes at Elena: "The side effects of Jiu have been temporarily suppressed, and do you think the side effects would make me look at you like that?"
Upon hearing Elise's words, Elena blinked, then, as if realizing something, asked somewhat nervously, "Could it be the influence of the Earth Goddess?"
"That's possible. If one day I'm no longer myself, remember to kill me right away."
Elise spoke these words in a very relaxed tone, as if she were talking to Elena about something mundane.
However, such a lighthearted remark made Elena's mood heavy.
Could she really kill Elise? Even if Elise was no longer Elise...
No, she won't let that happen!
Elena took a deep breath, then pulled out a recliner and went to sleep.
Nora, who was still hesitating in the distance, almost lost her composure when she saw Elena fall asleep right next to Elise.
What's going on here?
Although she usually acts like a block of wood, she noticed Elise's unusual behavior, so she quickly went to Elise's side and started to ask her how she was doing.
Seeing Nora's nervousness, Elise said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not angry. It was just a little accident."
"I just heard Elena mention the Earth Goddess. Is it because of Her?"
"It's just a psychological impact, nothing serious."
Elise's confidence stems from her incredibly powerful soul and the memories accumulated from countless rebirths. If the Earth Goddess were to truly awaken within her body, would she then be the Earth Goddess or Elise?
Meanwhile, in Elena's dream, she was still inside that burning church.
Elena looked at herself in her dream and said calmly, "Stop pretending you don't know anything. You saw what just happened, didn't you?"
"Well, there's only one solution I know of: kill Him completely before He revives inside Elise's body."
"Can you do it?"
"You shouldn't be asking me this question."
Elena pursed her lips, then launched an attack on her dream self.
She's no longer considering vacations. Instead of wasting time on fish she can't catch, she'd rather use that time to improve her skills.
……
Aren't you going to sleep?
Nora looked at Elise, who was standing up. The wicked woman was lazily stretching her body, and her cool swimsuit could not hide her alluring curves at all. Even Elise, who was far away, could not help but be attracted to her gaze.
However, she quickly regained her senses and glanced sideways, thankfully without Elise noticing.
But at that moment, Elise's soft voice suddenly rang in her ear: "Why aren't you looking anymore? Weren't you staring at me the whole time?"
"I... I just noticed that something was wrong with you, so I paid attention to you."
"Oh, I see."
Hearing the tone of Elise's voice, Elira knew that the other party definitely didn't believe what she was saying. Not to mention Elise, even she herself didn't quite believe it.
"Speaking of which, you seem to have mermaid blood, right? We're already at the seaside, why don't you show off your mermaid form?"
"Because it's too much trouble. My pants will tear after I turn into a mermaid."
"Just take it off."
"I'm not Rumia."
"Who's calling me?"
Rumia, who was hiding in a corner peeking at Wendy's collection, suddenly looked up and looked around in confusion.
"No one's calling you, keep reading your book."
"Oh."
Hearing Iris's words, Lumia nodded blankly, then quickly refocused her attention on the stimulating book.
Despite Elise's persistent pleading, Elira eventually gave up and chose to enter the sea, transforming into a mermaid.
Elira's lower body had transformed into an ice-blue fish tail, its scales shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.
Iris couldn't resist reaching out and touching Elira's tail; it felt surprisingly nice.
Although protected by scales, Elise's little gestures seemed to Elira like she was being touched on the leg, and a strange feeling was gradually growing in her mind.
Just as she was about to ask Elise to stop, Elise suddenly pulled out a dress with a rather strange design: "Change into this."
Although she didn't know why Elise wanted her to change clothes, the dress didn't seem to have any problems, so she simply used the dress-changing ring to put it on.
Seeing Elira change her clothes and turn her fishtail back into legs, Iris showed a satisfied expression.
It's so beautiful, it has a beauty that makes you feel like you'll blend into the cemetery if you look at it again.
Although the dress wasn't particularly revealing, under Iris's gaze, Elira couldn't help but take a half-step back: "I... I'm not a casual person!"
"I'm a little curious, do you have the ability to merge with others?"
"How did you know?" Elira blinked. The talent she gained during one of her rebirths was fusion.
She can choose a target for a short-term fusion, which will have a 1+1>2 effect. After she obtained this talent, she only fused with Hattie once after her rebirth. How did Elise know this?
"There really is one?" Elise was a little surprised. It seemed that Elaera was much more interesting than she had imagined.
Volume 1: Chapter 661 The Little Maid's Habits
Feeling Elise's fervent gaze, Elira said somewhat involuntarily, "No, don't look at me like that."
"You know, after we merge, I'll know everything you're thinking, and of course, I'll know everything too."
"Is there really such a good thing? Don't you really want to try merging with me?" A hint of excitement flashed in Elise's eyes. She was quite curious to know what it would feel like to merge with Elira.
After all, this kind of talent has never appeared in the game, and she really wants to experience it.
“I won’t do that unless absolutely necessary,” Elira firmly refused. She had a little secret she didn’t want Iris to know; otherwise, given Iris’s wicked nature…
For some reason, a faint blush rose on Elira's fair face.
Seeing her resistance, Elise didn't continue. She just smiled and said, "Okay, tell me when you're ready. I just want to experience that feeling."
"Oh, and remember to return my clothes when you get back."
The dress Elira was wearing was the long dress Nora had given her, which could be styled in any way; otherwise, why would she have prepared a dress for cosplay in advance?
"I'll give it back to you now."
The light from the changing ring flashed by, and Elira returned the dress she had taken off to Iris. She suspected that Iris had worn the dress before, as she had smelled only the fragrance of morning dew flowers when she put it on.
As if sensing Elira's thoughts, Elise said with a smile, "That's right, I wear this outfit all the time. You're not excited about it, are you?"
"I've already said it, I'm not Rumia!"
"whee."
Seeing the somewhat exasperated Elira, Iris also revealed a mischievous smile, which, combined with her stunningly beautiful face, made it impossible for anyone to be angry with her.
Just then, Theresa slowly walked to Elise's side and whispered, "Would you like to swim with me?"
Upon hearing Theresa's words, a look of surprise flashed in Elise's eyes. She hadn't expected that Theresa, who was always passive, would now take the initiative.
"Sure, I was just thinking of going to the sea to relax."
Hearing their conversation from a short distance away, Nora's face showed a hint of annoyance. It was one thing for Elena to beat her to it earlier, but now Teresa had gotten there first.
But then again, wasn't Theresa always someone who never fought or competed? Why did she suddenly become so proactive?
Theresa wasn't a proactive person. In her memory, Iris would always try to involve her in whatever she did. Over time, she, who already disliked taking the initiative, became even more passive.
But things are different now. There are other people around Elise who are eyeing her covetously. Although she doesn't think she can have Elise all to herself, she doesn't want to be excluded either.
So Teresa felt that she should take the initiative when necessary, just like she was doing now.
……
In the evening, Elena tore open a spatial rift and brought everyone back to the inn.
