"Oh my, my... What a pleasant surprise. It turned out to be true, it is my honor to be visited by you. Then, what made the divine beings come to me?" Luna covered her mouth in shock, but she immediately returned to her relaxed self.

"Such a bland way of surprise. You don't know who we are, but you do know that this is an honor for you?" Nell shook her head slightly as she realized that the fox lady was acting unusually calm.

"Precisely~ I know based on my foresight and hunch. Please forgive me for not being able to give you proper respect because I don't know how either. But please accept my bow of respect." Luna put her hands on her lap and gave a respectful bow.

"It's okay, raise your head. I just don't like your unusually calm demeanor after hearing Elysia's explanation. We want the Beastkin Race to also prepare for the inevitable. We don't have much time." Nell heaved a subtle sigh.

"This Luna understands. If I am allowed to know, may I know your identity, O divine beings?" Luna behaved more politely but also a little awkward when she looked at Elysia.

Inwardly, she reminded herself again. She just invited a divine being to be her adopted daughter!? But, well, it would be awesome if it came true.

"I am the Goddess of Blessings. Then, the cute baby elf here is the Goddess of Nature. The black-haired girl here is- em, yea, the Goddess of Light's precious disciple." Nell introduced, but she was thinking twice about introducing Elysia's identity.

'Nell... Why are you referring to me as a disciple here? I'm playing the Goddess, right?' Elysia felt helpless because the introduction had been given.

'Then, what about Elena? You may play the Goddess of Light, but that's you in Elena's form, right? Oh no, now I'm imagining two Elenas bugging me day and night! But, one is a bully and the other one is an angel.' Nell closed her eyes because she got sudden dizziness.

'...' Elysia was unable to answer. She just decided to go with the flow.

Elena just giggled in the Soul Realm. She did not intend to help in this matter.

"Ara, the Goddess of Light's disciple? Hum, a girl who is not yet eighteen and already has a golden energy aura? You are not a full-fledged divine yet, right, Elysia? A half-divine at such a young age?" Luna's eyes shone as if she had just found the best treasure in the world.

"I can't tell, but you can think of me like that..." Elysia was also at a loss for what to say.

However, it was interpreted differently in Luna's ears. The fox lady smiled mysteriously with some ideas in mind, then she got up from her cushion seat.

Elysia and her group watched as the fox lady walked around the table and approached. Unfortunately, there was a subtle barrier there.

*Bam*

Luna hit an invisible wall without being able to get any closer to Elysia.

"Oow, you really were so careful to visit me, hmm? Am I that scary that you need to take precautions like this? Don't worry, dear, I won't eat you or hurt you." Luna stroked her forehead and gave a slight complaint.

After saying that, Luna disintegrated herself into blue flame particles. However, she was also unable to break through the barrier before her. Because of that, she emerged her body form and tried something different.

At that moment, Elysia's eyes widened in surprise to see Luna turn semi-transparent then walk through the barrier as if it wasn't there.

"Hum, it's better now. Your scent is so unique and soothing. Hum, you are my foster daughter now. You will be warmly welcomed in my region and will be protected by me. O beautiful soul, please tell me what you want, and that is what will happen." Luna sat down casually, then grabbed Elysia's hands.

"You- you- please don't sniff me..." Elysia calmed down a bit as she didn't feel any ill will from Luna. However, Elena had cast additional subtle magic to protect Elysia's fragile body from any harm.

Rhea didn't wait any longer and immediately freed Elysia's hands from Luna's grip. "Please have a little courtesy and stay away a little. You're making Elysia uncomfortable. What are you planning to do by making Elysia your foster daughter? The Goddess of Light won't allow that."

"Oow, so fierce. I mistook you for a cute baby elf. As expected of an Elf Goddess." Luna only allowed her head to be gently pushed, but she didn't move from there.

In that instant, she felt something restrain all her movements. She couldn't move her body other than her mouth. Her magic circuit even seemed to freeze and couldn't flow any magic energy.

"I don't know what you have in mind, but your ever changing attitude makes me need to be decisive. Answer my question, now." Rhea poked Luna's cheek and emphasized her words.

"The Elf Goddess is angry, hum, alright. Let's see it on the bright side. I presumed that Elysia is half-divine. In other words, she is still mortal and quite vulnerable.

Not to mention, Elysia is still so young with minimal experience. When the time comes, I will ask the Goddess of Light's permission for it.

Besides, as you know, the Beastkin Race doesn't have any divine being as our patron. I want to make Elysia my foster daughter, not because of bad intentions. This is for the common good, for Elysia herself, and also for Beastkin Race. I promise no harm will come to Elysia if I'm there." Luna eloquently explained her intentions without any hesitation.

"So you just want Elysia for something? You want the Goddess of Light as your patron?" Rhea frowned.

"My intention have changed and it's sincere. I know that you are neutral considering your traveling party consists of various different races. I have considered the weight of the information earlier, and I want assurances at your request. Then, what do you think, E-ly-sia?" Luna whispered in Elysia's ear and exhaled a soft breath. Even though it was just a seductive voice, It was really like bewitching magic.

Elysia received a sudden shiver, and Elena immediately appeared into the world to help the overwhelmed Elysia.

"What do I get here, hmm? A fox who wants my precious disciple for personal gain?" Elena moved the petrified Luna away from Elysia. Then, she emerged to stand right in front of Luna.

"It's not for personal gain, but for the Beastkin Race's sake. Your coming here is to help the Beastkin Race for the inevitable apocalypse, right? I haven't even heard the details, and am willing to follow what Elysia wants. I'm sincere, keep my words." Luna defended herself swiftly. She didn't even know the woman before her eyes as she couldn't lookup.

"You will probably convince me if you don't speak in a relaxed tone. You're so relaxed as if you don't care, or maybe, You already know everything and everyone just dances in your hands." Elena put her hand on Luna's chin and raised the latter head to look at her.

"It's my nature, I can't do much. Oh my... Are you the Goddess of Light? Elysia's disciple? I sincerely ask for your permission and blessing to make your precious disciple as my foster daughter. Your traveling group consists of three divine beings and one half divine, please enlighten and help our Beastkin Race." Luna felt something odd when she looked at the golden-haired woman. But, she just thought it was only because her abilities couldn't peek at anything into this divine.

"In that case, an ally will suffice. You have my blessing to build an ally with my group." Elena couldn't respond with anything other than refusal. She also didn't understand what this fox lady had in mind.

If that was said, this fox lady's attitude was so random and relaxed. That was what made it so tricky for Elysia to understand the situation.

"No, that's not enough to convince all the supreme rulers about anything. I also need reassurance. I'm sure there must be someone who has already made your preciuos disciple their foster daughter or granddaughter. Or maybe, next time, there will be more and more people who want to get a share of your disciple to guarantee their peace. This will only benefit all parties, we, you, including Elysia." Luna gave an innocent smile at the end of her words.

"Well..." Elena chose not to continue as this fox lady had a point.

Looking back on last month, Elysia was recognized as Pope Alexander's foster daughter.

Because of that, Elena sent telepathy to Elysia for a solution as this required Elysia's decision. 'Ely, what are we going to do now? It seems that being a Goddess's disciple also brings troublesome things. Everyone wants at least a share of you for guaranteed deals and protection.'

'Ugh... This fox lady is also very strange. She didn't seem to have much respect for divine beings. Maybe, because the Beastkin Race didn't have any God protecting them? What should I do... Then, Grandpa Alexander and now this fox lady. However, this became a foster daughter, and no longer an adopted daughter. I think it's not bad if Luna will listen to what I have to say for the greater good, right?'

Elysia also became doubtful, but she felt that was not such a bad idea.

'That's up to you, but what do we get out of this. I'm sure this fox lady wants you to be here so we can too. Oh! This fox lady wants you because she can see your soul aura, Ely! She knows yours is the most beautiful and attractive! Is this fox lady really mesmerized by your aura?' Elena reconsidered her circumstances.

After some quick discussion, Elysia hugged Rhea to keep the latter from doing anything. "All right, foster daughter, is it? I'm aware of your scheme, but I will keep the promises you said earlier. My identity or anything about my group remains a secret for public, understand? Truth be told, a certain grandpa has recognized me as his granddaughter. Is that all okay for you?"

"Okay! May I know who certain grandpa in question refers to?" Luna put her hands together with a happy smile.

Elysia thought twice, but she decided to speak the truth without any hidden words. "Holy Grandfather, Alexander Celestine."

"Ah! That old human. He has lived long enough and is said to be the strongest human in the Human Continent. He has a keen eye, as well as good luck. But, it looks like he won't live long because of his oath." Luna dropped her fist into her open palm at the realization.
