Nora thought about it and realized that she had indeed arrived a bit early today.
Just as she was about to leave, Nora seemed to have entered a meditative state and turned back to look at Ibaria: "I almost forgot to ask, do you still want me to massage your legs?"
Upon hearing Nora's words, Elise unconsciously curled her toes before replying with feigned composure, "Not this time."

"Alright, I'm off then." After waving goodbye to Elise, Nora also left the reception room.
Shortly after Nora left, Elena walked in, looked at Elise sitting there, and asked, "How did today's training go?"
"It's alright. At this rate, Nora should be able to learn sword dance before leaving Seria."
Is dancing really that hard to learn?
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Elena instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words of refusal remained unspoken.
"Then let's give it a try."

“I thought you would refuse~” Elise got up and walked to Elena’s side, then took her hand and placed it in a suitable position.
"Your body is a bit stiff, relax a bit."
Looking at Elise so close to her, Elena tried several times but still couldn't relax, especially when Elise was staring at her or looking at her face.
However, Elise didn't mind and continued to patiently guide Elena's movements.
Their dance moves went from awkward to fluid, and they even seemed to merge into one.

“You’re much more talented than Nora when it comes to dancing. You didn’t step on my foot even once. I was even thinking of having you massage my feet,” Elise said with a hint of regret.
Elena snorted and showed an expression of taking it for granted. In fact, she was not confident at first, after all, she had never been involved in this kind of thing before.
But for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity while dancing with Elise, as if she often did this kind of thing, and naturally followed Elise's rhythm.
Although it was a bit strange, she felt that the next time she saw Nora, she could show off her talent in dance to Nora.
"Alright, have someone prepare dinner. I'm going to take a shower." After dancing non-stop with Nora all afternoon, it was impossible not to sweat; she didn't like that sticky feeling.
"Oh, right." Elise stopped and turned slightly to Elena, saying, "Want to come along?"
"No."
……
One morning, Elena opened her eyes wearily, and then, as if sensing something, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the bedside.
Elise's familiar figure appeared here once again.
She was still wearing a thin nightgown and her hair was unkempt and slightly messy.
"Why are you having nightmares again? Is there some kind of evil spirit haunting my house, coming into your dreams every night and giving you nightmares?"
Evil spirit?
Elena thought of what her other self looked like, and it seemed no different from an evil spirit.
What happened to make me become like that?

Was it because of that woman whose face was unclear?
Her gaze fell on Elise.
"What's wrong? Do I really look that good? I feel like you're about to drool. Okay."
"I never imagined someone could be this narcissistic." Elena turned her head and rolled her eyes at Elise.
"You don't seem to be able to sleep either, why don't you come for a walk with me?"
Aren't you going back to sleep?
"I guessed it would be the same today, so I made sure to go to bed early last night." As soon as she finished speaking, Elise couldn't help but yawn.
"I'm going to change my clothes first."
Watching Elise's retreating figure, Elena's lips curled up slightly. Sometimes she thought Elise was quite cute.
About half an hour later, Elena watched Elise come out of the room and couldn't help but complain, "You took a really long time to change your clothes?"
"There's no way around it, girls usually take a little longer to prepare before going out."
"Don't talk like I'm not a woman."
Elise chuckled softly, then led Elena downstairs to the manor's flower garden. There was an open space there, which Elise had specially reserved for her.
She took out a small bag from her spatial ring and scattered the seeds inside onto the open ground.
Elena was very familiar with the pale blue seeds; they were the seeds of the morning dew flower, a flower that was ubiquitous in her hometown.
"You really have a lot of leisure time to come here so early in the morning to plant flowers."
Elise didn't speak, but instead took out a stone staff, something she had painstakingly retrieved from the church of the Earth Goddess.
Would you like to see a sea of flowers in full bloom?
"what?"
Elise planted her staff in the open space, and the life-giving magic began to spread across it. The morning dew flower seeds that had just been scattered began to sprout and grow, and in the blink of an eye, a sea of pale blue flowers bloomed.
Elise stood in the middle of the blue sea of flowers, her eyes sparkling as she asked Elena, "Isn't it beautiful?"
Looking at Elise in the sea of flowers, Elena suddenly felt a little dazed.
Volume 1: Chapter 59 You're blushing
Inside the burning church, Elena looked at her other self and whispered, "During the day, I vaguely heard someone tell me they wanted to go to my hometown to see the flowers. Who... was she?"
The other Elena slowly raised her head, her empty, lifeless eyes looking at Elena: "I told you, you will only have the right to know everything when you kill me. Before that, knowing will only cause you pain."
That feeling of being unable to do anything...
"I knew it would be like this," Elena whispered, then drew her dagger and pointed it at her other self. "If that's how it is, then come on, let's see how many times I have to die before I can kill you!"
“Yes, that’s it.” The other Elena twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn’t.
After a few attempts, she seemed to give up. A dagger appeared in her hand, and the battle between the two Elenas began.
……
Seven days later, at Elise's manor.
The previously dilapidated training ground has now been repaired, and Nora's excited voice rang out: "Great, I've finally mastered it!"
After a week of tireless effort, she finally learned the sword dance steps. For her, once she mastered the steps, the other techniques were no problem.
Elise said with a hint of exasperation, "Couldn't you have controlled yourself a little? Your voice is so loud it's almost deafening me."
"There's nothing I can do. You know how difficult it has been for me to learn these dance steps these past few days."
"Then do you want to hear how many times you stepped on me this week?"
"Then I'll just give you a foot massage." Nora didn't want to listen to the statistics Elise had compiled; she knew a lot about them without even thinking.
Elise sat lazily on the sofa, her legs crossed, looking at Nora with a slight smile on her lips: "Then let's go. I'll take this opportunity to tell you where you can go next."
Nora walked skillfully to Elise's side. Lately, whenever Nora came to Elise for dance practice, she would basically massage her feet. Nora had even gotten used to it.
However, on the other hand, Elise's zero-foot figure feels quite nice to hold. -↑One&[#Three@⊥℃
Moreover, if you exert a little force at this time, you can hear Elise make a sound of pain, which is a pleasant thing for Nora, who used to be Elise's mortal enemy.
“I suggest you go somewhere within the kingdom’s borders.” As she spoke, Elise took out a crystal, simply channeled some magic into it, and a semi-transparent map appeared before them. She pointed to a kingdom city called Sisco.
"This is it. There's an ancient forge underground in this city. You might find some ancient weapons there. Right now, you're probably lacking a suitable weapon, aren't you?"
"Really?"
Ancient weapons, all possessing various magical powers, even if it's just a clue, are worth the long journey for her.
"You have to trust my intelligence network, but there are many ancient alchemical artifacts there. Even someone at the fifth rank like you could be in mortal danger. You need to think this through carefully," Elise said seriously.
"I've thought it through, I'm going there!" For a soldier, nothing is more tempting than a handy weapon.
"I have two other equally good options, wouldn't you like to hear them?"
"That's not necessary."
Although Nora's mind was currently filled with ancient weapons, she was also well aware of how valuable this information was. Even just a whisper of it would attract countless people, who would even pay a huge price for it. Yet Elise had told her this crucial information directly.
"Because we are allies. Only when you become stronger can I be safer. I also look forward to the day when I am in danger and you will stand up to protect me."
"That's all?"
"Of course not. Actually, my main purpose is to see you become the final winner of the proxy war."
Upon hearing Elise's words, Nora suddenly understood that a fragment of a god's soul resided within her body. If Elise helped her become the final winner, she would also gain that god's favor.
The help of a god is enough for Elise to give up such information.
"Heh." The ethereal voice let out a cold laugh.
"What's wrong? You're not trying to avoid repaying a favor, are you?"
"I am not a god without humanity."
For some reason, Nora felt that the tone of that voice sounded somewhat complicated.
“Since you’ve made your decision, here you go. Prepare everything on the list; you’ll definitely need it.” Elise handed over the prepared item list to the other party.
Heat resistance potion, flight scroll, burn ointment...
Seeing these targeted details, Nora knew roughly what the situation was like there, and she nodded seriously: "I understand."
"That's all. With your abilities, there shouldn't be any problem. I hope you can bring me a gift when you come back."
"Okay, I know. Considering you gave me such important information, I would have brought it to you even if you hadn't told me." Nora silently increased the pressure on her hands.
Suddenly feeling pain, Elise couldn't help but cry out, but her blue eyes instantly filled with tears. Now it was Nora's turn to be at a loss.
Since being nearly 'killed' by Nora last time, Elise has learned her lesson and decided to sacrifice some of her image, choosing to appear more vulnerable in front of Nora, which would make it much easier to manipulate Nora.
Just like it is now.
Although Elise looked like she was about to cry, she was actually in a very good mood. Her former nemesis, the protagonist who had killed her many times, was massaging her feet, and he was being very careful, as if he was afraid that if he used too much force, she would cry.
No, it's about to react.
Fortunately, Nora isn't good at reading people, so she probably won't notice anything.
However, at that moment, Nora heard that person's voice: "Look at her face, doesn't it look a little off? Take this opportunity to comfort her."
(溜岣洽另拌流j $u 梦)
Upon hearing what that person said, Nora did indeed notice a faint blush on Elise's cheeks, and she asked directly, "Your face is so red, are you alright?"
Elise was taken aback by Nora's question, then unconsciously avoided eye contact with Nora and said, "No, it's nothing. Maybe you were too rough just now."
"Oh, then I'll be gentle."

"Has Nora mastered it?"
Elena, who had just watched Nora leave, slowly walked into the training ground, and just as she entered, she saw Elise putting on her shoes.
"Yes, but she only practiced up to the second stage."
"What stage is that?"
"So Lin said that she only found her own rhythm in martial arts, but she didn't have the ability to bring her opponent into her own rhythm in the third step."
"Is that okay?"
“If it were anyone else, there would definitely be a problem, but if it’s Nora, there’s no problem.”
"A sword dance is like inviting your opponent to a magnificent duet, while Nora's sword dance is a solo. You should know that Nora is very powerful, right? Just imagine what the effect would be if she wielded two giant swords as tall as herself and performed a sword dance?"
"With the pure power of her own, Nora's sword dance requires no partner at all; she will be the only star on the stage."
Hearing Elise's words, Elena couldn't help but say, "You really think highly of her."
