After passing through a small sea, the magic carpet crossed the land. Eventually, it landed in a peaceful forest near the lake at Nell's command. It was a pretty good temporary place to rest.

"Hum, this place isn't too far from the continent's borders, but surprisingly it's peaceful and quiet here. Only animals and insects I can find around us." Elena put her hand to her forehead while looking around with sacred vision.

"This place is good for us to rest for a while. About 15 kilometers to the northwest, we will find a small forest town." Nell checked a map of the Elven Continent on a boulder. She needed to make sure where they were. "Yeah, we're in Alyhodorei Forest now."

"Well, let's have dinner here. I wonder why you two refuse to go to the nearby elven forest town." Elena patted her cheek and took out a Space Bag from her Space Storage. Then, she took out some cooking utensils.

"I was more wondering since you are Elena but in Elysia form." Nell muttered in a whisper-like voice.

Meanwhile, Rhea immediately helped Elena in preparing a place for their dinner. She built a simple fireplace and put a pot on it. Then, she turned to her little sister. "Little Nell, come and help me to cook some dishes."

"Okay." Nell complied without delay and approached to help.

"Hm, for your previous question, master. The real me is helping my mother to absorb five vials of Dew of Life. Also, Nell and I can't enter any elven city in fairy form because the Elven Race and Fairy Race don't seem friendly.

If we go there, it will only be you alone disguised as an elf, and we will follow in a blanket of invisible magic. Let's head straight to Eshvelenora Woodland when morning comes. I'll be with you for everything, master." Rhea sat beside Elena to answer. She needed to ensure her master's safety, but she didn't say that.

"Well... In that case, we'll spend the night in the forest again." Elena shrugged her shoulders as she didn't really mind Rhea's worries.

At that moment, she caught a glimpse of a white cat and a brown tortoise walking toward the lake. Apparently, those two beasts had a plan to catch some fish for their other dinner menu.

After that, Elena started cooking with Nell and Rhea. However, it was Rhea who worked a lot in cooking this time.

A few moments passed, Vanessa and Gio went back and forth several times with some of their catches.

"Miaow." Vanessa placed her thirtieth catch on a flat rock.

"Rawr." Gio did not fall behind in the competition. He got ten big fish because he preferred big food.

"Oh my, would you like all of these as your side dishes? However, this is too much for one pot. Let's just grill these fish for both of you." Elena smiled in amusement to see all the fish.

She prepared a bonfire by burning some dry wood she could find nearby. Then, she pierced all the fish with a stick and stuck them near the bonfire. Magic was so practical, and she didn't bother with it.

When that was over, Elena returned to the table because dinner was almost ready. Vanessa and Gio also came to the dinner table because their side dishes were not cooked yet.

"It was a very fast preparation process, master." Rhea gave her little sister another bowl of soup because her little sister was very excited to eat her cooking.

"Woaahh..." Nell's eyes lit up to see the giant bowl of delicious soup. The bowl size was normal, but she was small. So, it was just natural.

Yet, she realized what Elena had just done wasn't right. "Eh, wait, you just stuck those fish by the fire without seasoning them or cleaning them first?"

"Huh? Why? Vann and Gio don't mind that. I don't eat fish either. So, no problem." Elena spread her arms and sat down on the seat.

"Oh, geez. That would be gross, let me take care of the fish with my magic." Nell postponed her dinner because she wanted to try one of the grilled fish.

She took some spices then went over to the fishes stuck near the bonfire. With blessing magic, she solved the fish problem in less than 30 seconds.

By the time Nell returned to her seat, she was surprised to see her bowl of soup disappear from its previous position. Thus, she looked at the nearby suspect. "Hey, where's my dinner?"

"What are you trying to find out from me, little one? Take a look over there and you'll see that your dinner has become the tortoise's meal. Please ask for another serving." Elena pointed to the bowl with one tortoise in it. Then, she scooped up her soup and tasted the dinner for Elysia's experience.

"Grr... If you aren't Beast Emperor, I might have cooked you alive." Nell growled to stare at the brown tortoise who stole her dinner. It was the first bowl of her big sister's cooking. So, that was the most special of the soup in the pot.

Sadly, the hungry tortoise didn't care about Nell's death glare.

"All right, all right, here's another serving for you. Please do not be angry. Gio was just hungry and saw one idle soup to claim it as his serving." Rhea came with another bowl of special soup and gave it to her little sister.

"Okay." Nell just accepted the bowl and ate her dinner. It was just the first scoop, and she could already taste paradise. Well, she was just reminiscing about her big sister's cooking after not having tasted it for far too long.

'How is it, Ely? Can you taste what I ate with our shared senses?' Elena asked for Elysia's comment.

'Erm, this is a little strange to me, but you enjoyed this, did you, Sister Elena?' Elysia scratched her head. Her spirit didn't feel hungry, but it felt strange when her tongue tasted a savory soup flavor as if she was eating it herself, yet there was nothing in her mouth.

'Yes, that's what I call effortless pleasure.' Elena was happy to announce that.

Elena and Elysia continued their conversation until dinner was over. Vanessa and Gio had finished the fish, Nell also joined the fish party.

After tidying everything up, Elena and everyone went to a large tree branch to spend the night there.

"Nee, can you tell me how the elves behave in their own place. I remember the female elves only wore rather obscene dresses, but the male elves wore long, polite robes instead. Is there a reason behind this style of dress?" Elena put up a layered barrier and opened a conversation with Rhea and Nell.

"Ob- obscene dresses? If so then my previous dress is one of them..." Rhea flinched slightly to hear Elena's opinion. She checked her current dress. That was not very revealing, right?

"Nah, it's only done because female elves have abilities that male elves don't have. They wear dresses that are revealing enough to maximize the utility of their natural abilities." Nell waved her hand in front of her face as she explained.

"Natural abilities? What kind of things can they do? Haven't the female elves become more dominant and superior than the male elves?" Elena got into her sleeping bag and lay on her stomach. She looked at the two little fairies who were sitting casually on a tree branch with interest.

"Uhh, that may vary depending on each elf. Please ask my big sister. She is one of those who sometimes like to wear revealing dresses for the same purpose. Big sister, if you please." Nell threw a polite request to the concerned one.

"That doesn't mean that female elves are superior to male elves. Male elves also have abilities that female elves don't have." Rhea answered Elena's unanswered question. At the same time, she composed the appropriate words in her mind before explaining the Elven Race's natural abilities.

"I can't explain all of those multi-variety abilities, but let's just take a few examples. The female elves need to leave their skin unhindered by cloth or the like in order to use the special radar-like foreboding ability. Then, there are those who need to expose their skin to the sun to increase their strength during the day, there are those who take advantage of the moonlight." Rhea put her hand to her chin as she recalled some of her abilities.

"Then, there are also different natural abilities for male elves. They don't do the same thing as female elves because their skin doesn't work that way. For example, some are very sharp in their senses of sight, hearing, or smell. They can also increase their strength under certain circumstances." Rhea gave an easy-to-understand explanation.

For the next few moments, the conversation about the Elven Race became the topic of their night chat.

"So, we will enter Eshvelenora Woodland disguised as elves and will also wear revealing dress?" Elena asked Rhea with a smirk, but it was aimed at the flustered Elysia.

"My real body is an elf, though? I think it's a good idea. Master and I will go around the city for information. Little Nell will go into hiding, while Vanessa and Gioragh will act as pets. Then, after that we can head to the palace." Rhea clapped her hands with a bright expression to convey her idea.

'Hehe, how about this, Ely? I'm going to enter elven city with your form~ Oh, I can't wait for the morning to see my Ely wearing a revealing dress. Oops, that's still me, right?' Elena started teasing Elysia.
