Chapter 673: Putting a Spirit Bond

"Hum-mm, mm~" Erina hummed on a comfy lounge pool chair in the middle of the pool. She took a sip of her fresh juice and accidentally looked to the side.

It was as if she could see Elysia and Sylvia near the sun loungers by the pool. However, she was unsure of what she saw, and she lowered her sunglasses a little to confirm that. Surprisingly, it was indeed Elysia and Sylvia!

"E-, Elysia-san, Sylvia-san!?" Erina gasped in surprise. She was relaxing at the rooftop pool with Mio, and an unexpected pleasant surprise suddenly came before her eyes.

"Hi, nice to meet you again, Erina-san, Mio-san. Did our arrival disturb your leisure time?" Elysia waved her hand with a smile.

"Ah, no, not at all. Your arrival is very warmly welcomed by us. Please wait a moment." Erina paddled to go to the pool\'s edge and immediately jumped out of her pool chair.

She went straight to Elysia without realizing that her lips were already curved into an enthusiastic smile. "Hi, have you been here for a while? I didn\'t notice."

"No, we just got here to visit you. Can we talk for a moment?" Elysia glanced left and right. Here was not a suitable place to talk because anyone could come at any time.

"Just arrived?" Erina muttered softly in a confused tone. However, she just put that aside because there were too many things she couldn\'t understand about Elysia. "Sure. Then let\'s go to my penthouse."

"Erina-sama, please wear this." Mio suddenly came from behind and handed a bathrobe to Erina.

"Thank you, Mio." Erina immediately put on her bathrobe.

Elysia glanced at Erina\'s wrist. She gave the aurora bracelet a second time three days ago, and Erina wore it as suggested.

"Please follow me." Erina pointed her palm at the door and guided Elysia\'s group to a room downstairs.

\'Woah, so this is what they call a penthouse. This is a luxury apartment building, hmm?\' Elysia muttered in her mind while glancing around the room. It was like a presidential class hotel room.

\'Hm, this is our first time visiting a penthouse, right? But, this is almost the same as a five-star hotel room with extra space.\' Elena was amused because of Elysia\'s amazement.

\'En.\' Elysia then sat on the sofa, and Sylvia sat next to her.

Xero was perched on the table, and Vanessa was lying on Elysia\'s lap.

"Would you like some tea, Elysia-san, Sylvia-san?" Erina put her hands together and went to sit on Elysia\'s left side.

"Okay." Elysia just nodded.

"Mio, please brew some hot tea for us." Erina raised her hand towards Mio.

"Alright, Erina-sama." Mio responded from the kitchen. She returned to the living room a moment later with the tea party set.

After a cup of tea was served to everyone, Erina opened the conversation with curiosity. "I was shocked at first to see you suddenly near the rooftop pool. Mio and I didn\'t notice your arrival at all. Uhm... Is there anything I can help you with, Elysia-san?"

"Hmm, I can\'t call this a request for help, but it\'s more like I need your permission and approval, Erina-san. Well, let\'s say I have a request." Elysia clasped her hands. She sorts out the right words for her request.

"A request? Sure, tell me, and I will help you unconditionally." Erina nodded in agreement without hesitation. She didn\'t need to consider anything since the one speaking was Elysia.

"Why did you agree so quickly? Didn\'t you ever suspect that I might not be the real Elysia? Someone might disguise themselves as me to trick you?" Elysia felt a little surprised because Erina agreed before she stated her request.

"I\'ve learned my hard lesson in that kidnapping case. However, no one can disguise themselves as you, Elysia-san. You have a unique, pleasant scent and distinctive charm. Although they can imitate your appearance, it\'s a waste of time." -wasted because I memorized all of it. I knew that it was the real you the moment I approached you." Erina shook her head without losing the smile on her face.

"Is, is that right?" Elysia was a little taken aback. She still wondered about her scent. Anyone who had known her for some time was using it as a reference to identify her.

"Hehe, so what kind of request? I won\'t know if you don\'t tell me, Elysia-san." Erina covered her mouth in a light chuckle.

"So, it\'s like this. We\'re planning to go somewhere very far away with the possibility of losing our way back. I want you to be our marker for our directions. Is that possible for you, Erina-san?" Elysia glanced into Erina\'s eyes.

"Sure, I\'ll be happy to help you. However, what kind of thing do you want me to do? Is this a marker like on a GPS? You\'re going to a place very far from human reach... Like the inland north pole?" Erina scratched her head in confusion. She was afraid that she didn\'t talk about the same thing with Elysia.

"Mm, the theory is similar, but this is bound with a bond. I\'ll put my marker on you, and if you don\'t mind, may I?" Elysia said it with an innocent expression, but it was interpreted as something else to Erina\'s ears.

"You, you want to bond with me? You want to mark me as yours, Elysia-san!? Is this a proposal? My heart is still not ready to go that far so suddenly..." Erina ultimately didn\'t expect Elysia\'s request to be something like this. She blushed and covered her face because of that sudden proposal.

"Hmm?" Elysia didn\'t understand why Erina blushed all of a sudden. "You can\'t?"

\'Ely, you naughty girl. Fufu, are you not aware that you are using ambiguous sentences? Erina misinterpreted that and thought you proposed to her.\' Elena told Elysia between her giggles.

"Eh, ah, it\'s not like that. Let me explain it one more time. So, I--" Elysia then spent ten minutes explaining her real intention regarding the marker and spirit bond to Erina.

"Alright, I see what you mean, Elysia-san. Even though I don\'t quite understand, I trust you. What should we do?" Erina nodded in understanding with a hint of embarrassment. It was still a bond, and she wouldn\'t refuse it even if her heart wasn\'t ready.

"You don\'t have to do anything. I\'m just going to put a marker on your spirit. To be honest, I\'ve put my marker on you, but I\'m afraid it\'s not strong enough to tell us the way back." Elysia was happy that Erina was quick to understand and agreed without hesitation.

"You\'ve marked me?" Erina widened her eyes slightly.

"En, here. I\'ll revoke it. Done." Elysia put her hand on Erina\'s shoulder and revoked her magic marker.

"Eh, you deleted it? I don\'t mind, though? Still, alright, you can leave your mark on me if that helps you." Erina felt a bit astonished about what Elysia had just done. However, she leaned back on the sofa and waited for Elysia to do something for her.

"Please excuse me. Please don\'t resist the incoming flow." Elysia glanced at Mio for a moment. She didn\'t understand why Erina\'s bodyguard didn\'t question or suspect anything.

She proceeded to put her spirit mark on Erina\'s spirit. She put her hand on Erina\'s upper chest, and she started to work.

She only needed five seconds for that, and she smiled in satisfaction. "Thank you, Erina-san. Can you feel my marker now?"

"Eh, it\'s done? That\'s so fast. Uhm? This is pretty weird... I feel like I can feel a bond within me with you. Is this what is called a bond?" Erina put her hand on her upper chest. It was as if she could feel that Elysia\'s hand warmth was still there.

\'En, I\'m done. Now I can talk to you telepathically. You can also respond if my channel is connected to you, Erina-san.\' Elysia tried to send telepathy.

\'Eh, no way... Can I also send telepathy to you, Elysia-san? Can you hear my voice?\' Erina widened her eyes in surprise. Elysia\'s mouth didn\'t move, but she could hear Elysia\'s voice.

\'En, but this is a one-way path because you are not strong enough for this bond yet. You can only talk to me when I connect my spirit of connection to you.\' Elysia smiled faintly.

\'I\'m sorry, I\'m still quite weak. I heard this is an ability that only a Great Master-level or above can learn. But I can use it now. This is amazing, Elysia-san!\' Erina grasped Elysia\'s hand with sparkling eyes. For some reason, she felt closer to her friend, and she would soon uncover more of Elysia\'s mysteries.

\'I didn\'t mean to offend. You are the only one who comes to my mind for my trust.\' Elysia grasped Erina\'s hand back.

\'En, just leave it to me. By the way, where are you and Sylvia-san going? I had a feeling it was a place that wasn\'t on Earth. Are you perhaps planning to go to the underworld in search of treasure, Elysia-san? It\'s dangerous there, you-\' Erina voiced her concern, but Elysia\'s finger sealed her lips.

\'Sshh, I can\'t tell you right now, but please keep this a secret, okay?\' Elysia moves on reflex. She just remembered that they were talking via telepathy.

\'Um, okay. Is it possible for me to send you telepathy without waiting for you to speak to me first?\' Erin nodded innocently.

\'For now, there\'s nothing we can do.\' Elysia shook her head.

\'I see...\' Erina lowered her head slightly, but she got a new motivation to cultivate to become stronger.

"Uhm, excuse me, are you talking through eye contact, an exchange of thoughts or something?" Mio raised her hand in confusion.

Erina and Elysia looked at each other and chuckled together. After that, Erina talked about trivial and light matters to Elysia to relieve her feelings after three days of not seeing each other.

"Uhm looks like it\'s time for us to leave, Erina-san. Several people await our presence, and we can\'t keep them waiting that long." Elysia patted Erina\'s hand. She didn\'t know why Erina was still holding her hand tightly.

"Are you in a hurry? Uuh, I wanted to express my gratitude to you with something, Elysia-san. I need to do something for you. Perhaps, a delightful event or something nice." Erina loosened her shoulders. She had just planned many things with Elysia, but it didn\'t seem like it was for now.

"Let\'s do that when I get back. It might be sometime next month." Elysia replied with a tender smile.

"You promised that, right? All right, I\'ll demand that next month." Erina glanced at Elysia\'s eyes for reassurance. After Elysia replied with a nod, she felt satisfied.

After that, Elysia and Sylvia waved their hands and left the room. Xero then flew after them.
