Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 253: After Yesterday's Events

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, it was true, just like what Elena said before... The memory orb was the scene during that fateful night. If so, where were the other memory orbs she saw at that time while with Alisha?

Elysia looked to the right, and no other memory orb was there. The one she held was the last.

"Sister Elena, I, I'm feeling a little scared. Remember what I told you earlier? This memory orb should not be the last one. Could it be that it was just a dream from my hallucinations?" Elysia trembled slightly at her words. She began to believe that Elena's earlier assumptions were correct.

"Hush-hush, don't be afraid. You are not alone. If so, it looks like it was just a dreamy. It's okay, Ely. That dream just wants to show you this realm called Subconscious Mind so that you can come here." Elena hugged Elysia from behind, trying to calm the latter with her soothing voice.

Elysia took a deep breath then exhaled to calm her chaotic mind. She just didn't have to think too far because of her dream. After feeling calm, she released the memory orb, and Elena freed herself from the hug at the same time.

"Ely, we can't see the outside world from here, but it looks like the others will wake up soon." Elena stated that after trying to see the outside world as usual, but there was nothing she could see.

"En, we'll continue with this later. I'll have more trouble if Eve, Ella, and Grandpa wake up-" Elysia nodded in agreement, but then a question came to her mind. "Eh, will my body also fall into suspended animation if I enter this subconscious mind?"

"You can't check it either? Hmm, looks like we are detached from the outside world if we enter this realm." Elena stroked her chin in thought. She tried to uncover deeper truths about the secret behind this realm.

"Well, then, I will return to my body now. Um, will you also return to the Soul Realm now, Sister Elena?" Elysia looked around one more time, then asked just to confirm.

Hearing that, Elena looked around to observe every corner of the Subconscious Mind. For some reason, she suddenly felt little goosebumps at the atmosphere in this realm. That way, she would delay her intention to probe into these memory orbs... It could be done at a later time.

"Mm, I'll come back now too. It feels quite lonely here and a bit scary if it's just me. Let's go." Elena hugged herself and rubbed her arms.

After that, Elysia and Elena disappeared together from Subconscious Mind... Leaving behind a realm that once again fell into tranquility.

Elena returned to the Soul Realm while Elysia to her body. Elysia opened her eyes and turned to the clock. The time showed a few minutes past five o'clock. Luckily, no one had awakened yet.

'Phew, thank goodness.' Elysia exhaled a subtle breath, feeling relieved. Along with it, she slightly moved her hand that Evelyn held while. She also applied magic to Evelyn so that Evelyn would wake up with a refreshed body.

"Uhm-uh... You're awake, Ely." Evelyn awoke from her sleep and rubbed her eyes gently.

"Yes, good morning, Eve. Did you sleep all night there? You will feel achy instead of sleeping to rest, you know?" Elysia gave a warm smile.

Vanessa's ears twitched by themselves. Elysia felt amused... Thus she tickled the white cat's ears with care.

'Good morning, Vann.' Elysia gave a warm greeting through their connection.

'Mhm, good morning to you too, master. It's my pleasure to see your smile.' Vanessa rubbed her head against her master's hand. Of course, it was granted, and she received a gentle caress from her master.

Evelyn looked at the clock on the wall, then returned to her best friend. "I'm fine. Good morning too, Ely. I just wanted to make sure you're okay too. Look, I don't feel sore or anything. I'm as fresh as new." Evelyn said that while examining her body with a slight stretch. She didn't feel any pain or soreness despite sleeping in an improper position.

Elysia only smiled in response. She didn't need to answer that or admit what she had done to the caring girl.

"Nee, Ely, what do you feel now? No feeling of weakness or anything else? Have you fully recovered?" Evelyn sat on the bed and took her best friend's hand as if she wanted to check the patient's health like a doctor priest. Well, she couldn't use that ability yet.

"After enough rest, I can't be more than one hundred percent healthy, Eve." Elysia nodded as she folded her other hand up.

"Thank Goddess, that's good news to hear, Ely." Evelyn's beaming smile etched on her pretty face. She was happy for a variety of obvious reasons.

Coincidently, the noise made Ella and Alexander wake up as well. Ella sat up, rubbed her face, then got closer to Elysia's bed.

"Good morning, Ely. Looks like your fatigue and side effect from yesterday's event is gone. Good to see you recovered." Ella conveyed her relief with a gentle smile.

"En, thanks, Ella. Sorry, I made you worry." Elysia expressed her apology while turning to Ella and then to Evelyn.

"Hehe, there's no need to apologize, Ely. You are my precious friend. Please don't mind that." Elle shook her head, then she took a stool and sat there.

"Yes, Ely, don't worry about it." Evelyn nodded in complete approval. Having said that, she suddenly remembered the things that happened yesterday after her best friend fell asleep.

Evelyn took out a letter from her Space Bag and handed it over to her best friend. "Ely, here's a letter for you. This was sent by our academy yesterday after you slept. All students get three days off starting from today because our academy will get a major upgrade. You read this first."

Elysia accepted that and examined it for a few seconds. It was a letter sealed with the Deterry Academy of Magic's wax stamp and her name written on it. She opened it and read every detail of the announcement letter addressed to all of the students.

Some of the critical points were listed there. All students obtained three days off, all old privilege cards became invalid, and the card re-renewal would go through a re-test after the three days.

As compensation for the students being unable to live in the dorms for a while, they would be transferred to three to five-star inns for three days free of charge. There were details on how to claim it, but Elysia didn't need that.

Apart from that, the academy mourned the deaths of 13 students who died due to yesterday's unexpected tragedy. However, the ceremony to honor the deceased was carried out by the Deterry Academy of Magic yesterday afternoon.

"I see..." After reading to the end of the letter, Elysia muttered without restraining her gaze of sorrow. The sad news reminded her of yesterday's events, and it also saddened her. After all, the deaths of the 13 students took place before she could save them.

Elysia took a deep breath and exhaled. Nevertheless, Elena opened her mouth to make Elysia not think about that anymore. The events had already passed, and they were doing their best at that time. If there was anything to blame, then it was the accursed monsters.

"Huff, did you go out yesterday? How were the situations after yesterday's events? Can you tell me a little summary of that?" Elysia queried her friends with a pleading expression.

"Yes, yesterday we went out alternately." Ella nodded innocently to acknowledge that without the slightest hesitation.

"Un-un, yesterday we did go out. But, we didn't leave you alone, really. Let me tell you a few things about yesterday after you fell asleep, Ely. Yesterday, it was--" Evelyn volunteered to explain a few things to her best friend.

The townspeople got a little panic about yesterday's incident. They thought war or aggression from the devils was taking place in Holy Central Region.

However, the knights and mages managed to calm things down. The large crater created by Goddess's divine punishment was still being investigated, especially the altar at the bottom.

The events and tragedy of yesterday became the hottest topic in this city. Most people discussed the Goddess, who had eradicated all the monsters with the blue shooting stars.

Despite that, the city was back to its original state. What was different, the security level became tighter than usual.

The deaths of 13 students were problematic for the academy, and all mourn over it. However, the sealed area that emerged close to Aeddoterra City became the things that made many people alarmed and worried.

The announcement was announced by Emperor Arthur's representative afterwards. That also included an explanation regarding the sealed areas of the great ancient warfare.

The evil monsters that had previously invaded the Human Continent, and had not been eradicated, were shackled in a sealed area where the location was unknown. In any case, the Human Race was preparing for the inevitable with guidance from the Goddess Of Blessings.

Although what made the masses calm down and relieved was not only that. The Goddess of Light descended to save the day was the one that had the most impact on it.

Moreover, many rumors were widespread. That regarding the Human Race was protected by two Goddesses, namely the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Blessings. Word spread to other cities, and the public was rejoiced to find out that there were two Goddesses by their side.

Evelyn only knew up to that point, though in large part because of Pope Alexander's explanation she learned yesterday. She gave the credit to Pope, who was listening silently.
