My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 710: Hot Spring

In the boundless serenity of the Elysian Realm, where time flowed gently like a celestial river, Elena returned to the grand palace’s resting chamber.

It was a sacred sanctuary for her and her dear little sister. Created by the ethereal divinity and eternity, this palace was not merely a structure of celestial beauty but a place of profound significance, where the weight of their activities and duties melted away, leaving only the warmth of their sisterhood.

Lately, Elysia’s attention was preoccupied with many affairs in the outside world, such as guiding new deities, crafting divine artifacts, forging new bonds, and more.

While she admired Elysia’s ever-expanding influence, she couldn’t help but feel a quiet yearning, an unspoken desire for the days when it was just the two of them, when their moments were undisturbed by the responsibilities of gods and the demands of others.

But here, none of those worries mattered. She could obtain Lil Ely’s time only for herself, the unwavering love, and the comforting presence she cherished beyond anything else. Although, it was just the sleeping Elysia’s spirit.

As she stepped into the celestial resting chamber, a soft glow illuminated the air to respond to her presence. A familiar warmth enveloped her as she found her little sister waiting for her, sleeping peacefully and gracefully on their comfy grand bed.

"You’ve been gone for quite some time..." Elena murmured. Her voice carried a gentle longing. "Have you forgotten our little haven?"

Despite understanding that there was no immediate response, she flew to the bed and lay down right beside her dear little sister, indulging her longing in Elysia’s arms.

Elysia soon returned to her spiritual body in her soul palace. She chuckled softly and returned Elena’s warm embrace, shaking her head. "Never. No matter how many friends I make, no matter how many new bonds I form, this place will always be ours. And you will always be my first and dearest sister."

Hearing those words, Elena felt her heart at ease. She buried her face in Elysia’s warmth. In this sanctuary, she knew no matter how vast the heavens became, no matter how many others entered their lives... this love, this bond between them, would never waver.

"Hmm-mm~" Elysia leaned her head and hummed a melody as she watched the shimmering ripples of the universe-like spatial sky dance in the celestial lights of countless stars and nebulae. For this moment, there was no war, no divine responsibilities, no outside world vying for their time. There were only the two of them, as it had always been in the beginning.

"..." Megami, Elysia’s divine clone who was floating in meditation not far away, opened her eyes to glance to the side. She and Miko counted as one with Elysia as their true body, so yes, the Elysian Realm was mostly inhabited only by Elena and Elysia.

"Nee, Ely... can you promise me one thing?" Elena mumbled as she tightened her embrace on Elysia’s waist.

"Sure." Elysia stroked Elena’s head gently as if she were comforting someone.

"In our next journey, can we refrain ourselves from saving the world? Giving a helping hand is one thing, but I want you to focus on us and our journey." Elena looked up, staring at Elysia’s ethereal purplish-blue eyes.

"..." Elysia was silent for a moment. It was not the first time she had heard such a request, but what happened in the Quadtria was partially schemed by He-Dao in the name of a debt of gratitude.

If not for that, she would know nothing about the approaching doom in the Divine World’s Heavenly Realm. Regardless, she did feel that she had to focus on her pantheon and her destined journey to find her true origin.

Much more, there were still so many things waiting for her, considering the destined encounter she experienced lately. The terrifying creature in the unknown space who once said it was not the time yet, the divine entity dwelled in her Subconscious Mind Realm’s golden orb sea, and many things that led her to endless wonder. But the one pressing matter was Sera, the Seraph of the End who seek her presence regardless of anything next month.

Even so, Ai’s case that was woven into her reminded her of something that made her think that there was more of her fragmented self out there that would lead her to her true origin.

In her previous life, her soul went to another world after her death on Earth, but she got lost for two years before fusing with Ai after her twin sister also died. She got revived in Ai’s body after that and so many things happened.

However, Gaia’s promise to the mysterious higher being alarmed her about the fate that awaited her. Gaia was responsible for her dozens of reincarnations on Earth, but unfortunately, nobody understood the purpose.

No one could guess what that mysterious higher being wanted, but this higher being was the one who sent her to Earth, and she was just one of the fragments.

Ai might experienced the similar multiple reincarnations in Vrelenia, but unfortunately, the Ruvoid killed most of the higher Gods, and no lead could give them a hint about the fate but for the past Ai in Vrelenia. Lifa as the ancient one had no reason to know about Ai’s past, so they left it as it was.

Regardless, she understood why this request was raised repeatedly. She had to proceed to her initial goal to find out about her true origin, the reason why Elena was entwined in her soul realm, find her fragmented self, explore her imaginary divinity, and find out what awaited them in this vast universe. Many things got delayed because they got bound to the promise to save Quadtria.

"I understand. It would be good if we didn’t get involved in the affairs of the world’s fate. However, will we remain silent once we know that our help could save countless innocent souls?" Elysia smiled tenderly.

"Sometimes, I feel like we might be better off as neutral pacifists, away from unnecessary matters."

"Isn’t that what we do? We only aimed for the supervillains and great evils who crossed our bottom line? Our help isn’t free either."

"That’s more of you, fufu~"

Elysia and Elena exchanged their feelings with laughter and stories. Elena’s mood became good and comfortable and she soon drifted off to sleep in Elysia’s arms.

’Ely, it’s time for us to switch. I can’t stay too long in your body.’ Ai reminded Elysia as she was still worried about it.

’It was originally your body, though?’ Elysia responded half-asleep as she was almost asleep.

’No, I don’t want this. We switch now!’ Ai emphasized her request because she was really worried.

Her worry hailed from Elysia’s presence. It was so strange because Elysia’s spirit still stayed in the Elysian Realm even though Elysia took over the body, only sleeping in a dormant state. It would be very different if Megami, Elena, and her because they vanished from the Elysian Realm when that happened.

She was afraid that if she took over this body for too long, she could cause something she didn’t want to happen. Her life as a spiritual entity like Elena dwelled in Elysia’s soul and shadow, was already great, and she didn’t want it to change.

"Mm, sure. Megami will take over, and you please join us here, Ai." Elysia raised her hand to beckon Ai to come over. She then glanced to the side to command her divine clone.

"As you wish." Megami received the command and immediately vanished from her meditation spot.

A moment later, Ai emerged at the spot where Megami vanished. Yet, a tender force suddenly pulled her to the bed.

"It’s already night outside, and everyone will be resting after the bedtime story. So, forget everything for now and sleep with us, the three of us." Elysia patted the spot next to her.

"..." Ai fell silent when she found Elena’s blissful expression, sleeping while hugging Elysia’s waist. She had no idea what happened, but Elena seemed satisfied.

Since Elysia had spoken, she found it hard to refuse. Although a bit shy, she lay down next to Elysia and the three of them drifted off to sleep in each other’s embrace.

"..." Megami just took over Elysia’s body, but what she found was the hot spring’s steamy scene. Some people were soaking in towels, behaving gracefully, but there were some new people, the heavenly servants, who were literally just wrapped in a mist of steam, drinking beverages casually.

"Hello there, elder sister." Miko hugged Megami from behind and nestled her head on Megami’s shoulder. The one before her this time was not her mama or Ai, but her elder sister, Megami!

"You’ve been taking advantage of me for so long. Where did you put your hands?" Megami tapped Miko’s hands.

"Ah, it was just an accident. Your boobs are bigger than mine and I thought they were a bit heavy, so I gave them a little support." Miko teased Megami with an innocent smile. She wouldn’t dare to act like this if it were her mama or Ai, but Megami could tolerate all of her antics passively, and it made her fond of teasing her elder sister.

"You’ll see how I handle you." Megami slipped her hand around Miko’s arm and turned around. Their positions soon reversed. "Stay still, don’t be naughty."

"Fufu, alright." Miko leaned back in Megami’s arms.

"Heehee~ This is good." Jophiel almost got a nosebleed. She previously rubbed her master’s back and it truly satisfied her vanity. It was a rare experience, but what happened now was truly a picturesque, hot steamy scene between her master and Goddess Master.
