"I don't think it can be realized because I don't know the evil group in question. You know, I'm sure the devils are busy preparing for war over the information Devil God gave them. Even though I and the other devils don't like him, he indeed asking the devils to face the inevitable. So, I'm sure no one planned this attack from my father's side. Could this possibly be a third party outside of my father's control?" Sylvia tapped her chin in wonder.
She just shrugged her shoulders because she thought it was pointless to dwell on it. Then, she looked at her friend with a questioning look. "Nee, Ais... Can I ask you a question, but you need to answer me with honesty also!"
"All right." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and nodded.
Sylvia picked up the latest trending magazine from her Space Bag.
"The trending magazine?" Elysia didn't understand what Sylvia wanted to ask with the magazine.
Sylvia just opened the magazine and went to the 'beauty fest & fashion' page. She pointed to the top supermodel, the most eye-catching picture. "It's you, right? Are you also a top supermodel in the world of beautiful dresses and fashion?"
Elysia felt a little overwhelmed. She had been reminded by Elena, but it would be different if it actually happened in front of her. Her identity had indeed been exposed to Sylvia.
"Mm, that's me." Elysia just confessed without further ado.
"As I thought! It turns out that this supermodel is indeed you, Ais. But, I investigated this supermodel yesterday from various sources. Do you know what I got?
This purplish-blue-eyed girl is Elysia, an Apprentice Mage at the Deterry Academy of Magic. First-year student, sixteen years old, and also quite famous in this city. You are here, right? One of the owners of a renowned restaurant called Lavely Pizza. However, one thing that surprised me was-" Sylvia looked into her friend's face and paused.
Elysia remained calm and composed to wait for Sylvia to continue, but she became quite panicked inside. Sylvia already knew that far.
'Could it be that this Devil Princess knows that my Ely is also known as the Goddess of Light's disciple? There was no Sylvia's first or second friend, only Elysia, her only friend because I didn't count in it, pfft, fufu...' Elena couldn't help but laugh to express her estimation.
'...' Elysia didn't know what to say because it was indeed true. Perhaps, it was time for the truth to come to light.
"You're not Ais from the start! You're just using a pseudonym like me. Hum, hum, I know that. You can't lie to me." Sylvia puffed out her chest. She had just revealed an interesting fact.
"Ye- yeah, just like you, it's just my name being read backwards, Aivlys, or now Sylvia." Elysia didn't expect the revelation.
"Wow, it turns out that we use the same trick. This is really great. Could it be that we have the same thoughts, Ais, Elysia, huh?" Sylvia took a deep breath to mentally prepare.
Her Goddess friend, her first friend, shared the same name as her second friend. But, they were two different people, or maybe the same person?
"Uhm, I've been thinking about this, and this is also the one I wanted to ask. Are you perhaps the Goddess of Light in disguise? My Goddess friend also has the same name as you, Elysia...
Are you perhaps a divine being? Or, just a mysterious, unknown, yet also the youngest Empress-level human?" Sylvia tried to ask to be sure, even though it was hard to believe.
She even had difficulty finishing her sentence because she was a little hesitant and worried for some unknown reason.
"..." Elysia didn't answer right away because it would be a lie if she answered that she was a different person.
'Ely, do you need my help? I can come out and help you out of your dilemma~' Elena offered to help while humming.
'En, please help me, Sister Elena. I didn't lie from the start, but the repercussions comes to me instead. I don't know how to answer. It can't be played with words when it's like this.' Elysia immediately asked for help from the one she could rely on the most.
'Hmm-mm, I know that. Sometimes, troubles do come when you don't expect them.' Elena nodded with a pleased smile. She disappeared from the Soul Realm to come out into the outside world. Her arrival was unknown to anyone other than Elysia.
To take advantage of that, Elena just sat right behind Sylvia and materialized her body silently. "Oh my, you overwhelmed my precious disciple, devil girl. My Elysia and I are different individuals. Does that satisfy your conscience?"
Rhea heaved a subtle sigh when Elena appeared, but that didn't mean she lowered her guard to the devil girl. However, this 'two in one' divine being did like to play as master and disciple apparently.
A graceful, pleasant, yet soothing voice of an unknown lady rang out from nowhere. Sylvia flinched instantly. In that empty hall, there were only Elysia and herself. So, the one behind her was a ghost!?
"Disciple? Who are you referring to, ghost?" Sylvia looked left and right. She is looking for the lady ghost.
"Oh, this is so sad. Nee, Elysia, my good disciple. Do I look like a ghost?" Elena smiled in amusement to see the confused devil girl.
Elysia thought back to the event when she first met Elena. She also once shouted at Elena as a ghost because of her shock.
"No, you don't look like a ghost, master. Wherever I look, you are a beautiful and miraculous Goddess." Elysia paid her respect like a disciple to a master.
Sylvia chorused once again to see Elysia saluting her. Or rather, behind her. She turned around in a lightning-fast movement only to realize someone was behind her.
It was a lady with long, slightly wavy golden hair. The golden-white dress that seemed to glow with holy light was worn by celestial perfection.
Sylvia's eyes widened to meet the golden eyes of the divinity that seemed to burn her dark soul in the sun of holiness.
"E-Elysia? Is- Is that you? Or, should I call you the Goddess of Light? Finally we meet again... I've been looking forward to seeing you again." Sylvia stuttered slightly at the holy Goddess before her.
The current vibe was very different from what she felt when she saw the Goddess of Blessings. It was not a ghost, but her Goddess friend!
"Hm, I believe this is our first meeting, devil girl. I'm not Elysia, that's the name of my disciple." Elena shook her head with minimal movement.
"Huh?" Sylvia became puzzled. She looked at Elysia then at the Goddess of Light again. It repeated several times.
"Are you really not Elysia?" Sylvia asked with a clueless expression.
"Mm." Elena only replied with a hum.
"Then, who is the divine being that came to me that night? She has the exact same form as you, but her name is Elysia. She said that she is a Goddess who just arrived to this world." Sylvia scratched her head because there were too many possibilities.
"Hm, yes, as you said. It was my disciple who somehow transformed into my form. However, you seem to have misunderstood one thing, devil girl. My disciple did not introduce herself as a Goddess. It was you who thought that way." Elena tried to help so that Elysia didn't need to explain much.
"Is- Is that so?" Sylvia loosened her shoulders to realize the reality. She only had one friend, and she almost broke her friendship with her only friend because of trust issues just now?
"So, my two friends are actually one and they are the same Elysia as Elysia?" Sylvia looked at the Goddess of Light, then at Elysia.
"Your words are confusing, but, yes, that's me. Unlike you, I don't like to lie and avoid it as best I can." Elysia snorted softly.
"Eh? What do you mean by that? Do you suspect I've been lying? Wasn't that you yourself who told me I was telling the truth earlier? Why all of a sudden now?" Sylvia blinked her eyes repeatedly as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Elysia decided not to answer, but Elena felt that Sylvia needed enlightenment. Thus, she came as a mediator to mend the relationship between these two girls.
"My precious disciple Elysia doesn't like being lied to, especially from one she is familiar with. You lied to Elysia several times last month, right? This is not a matter of identity or pseudonym. My Elysia can tell other people's lies, you know? You should know that you run a great risk of losing the trust of your friend." Elena said it just to let the cat out of the bag.
It was no use beating around the bush when the other person already knew a lot of things.
Sylvia's eyes widened at the revelation. She remembered that she did hide some facts, and she also lied without batting an eye. She did that for a reason, but she didn't know that because of that, she almost lost Elysia's trust?
Could it be the ever kind Elysia, her first and only friend, had deliberately ignored her for the past month because of that?
Because of that, she immediately drew closer to Elysia and grasped the latter's hand with a guilty expression. "E-Elysia, I didn't mean to. I didn't actually lie to you out of bad intentions. Let me explain everything, I'll make amends, really.
At that time, I was just overworried and wasn't ready if you would hate me just because I'm a devil. It's very difficult for me to find someone like you as a friend. So, please listen to my explanation, please."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
