Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination
Chapter 427: Recording TapeChapter 427: Recording Tape
"What do you mean by that?" Elysia raised her eyebrows. She had a bad feeling about this.
Luna put her hand to her cheek while recalling the information from the past. "Hum, this has been going on for quite some time. Perhaps, it was about a hundred years ago? On that day, the wife of Alexander Celestine was assassinated within the protection of the Holy City. A major incident occurred because of the wrath of that human. Few know about this, that pope became a demon who killed all the devils from the Human Continent's Holy Central Region, Aeddoterra Kingdom."
"Is that what happened?" Elysia glanced at Nell, and she only received a nod from the latter.
"I see... Pope Alexander must be-, hmm..." Elysia decided to end her sentence as she couldn't continue.
"Yeah, that's why no devils have been present in the central region of the Human Continent for decades. He burned most of his life force, magic energy, and a few other things to exterminate tens of thousands of devils due to rage. But, it seems, his oath will arrive soon. That way, hehe..." Luna spoke so casually and chuckled at what she had in mind.
It was thickly proportional to the weight of the information she provided.
"What kind of oaths?" Elysia emphasized the previous single unanswered question.
"This is still etched in my mind, and I get chills when I think back on it. After Alexander Celestine exterminated all the devils from the Holy Central Region, he shouted his oath to heaven.
That man vowed to wipe out Devil Continent from the world when Aeddoterra City became a grand battlefield once again, even though his life would be lost because of that." Luna hugged herself as if she felt a sudden gust of cold air.
"Did you see all that yourself? I didn't know about it. I mean, about that oath." Nell put her hand on her chin as she felt anxious.

Maybe, you can't see like this one even if you go to another Emperor or Empress. And again, maybe that pope has erased the history and information of that tragedy." Luna ended her explanation with a faint smile, then she closed her eyes.
"I'm sure you want something for it. What do you want?" Nell reconsidered about the bargain.
"I'd like to see it, can you show us the tape, Empress Luna Evroria? Tell us the conditions." Elysia didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point. This was quite precarious, and she wanted to know the proof of the truth right away.
"Then-" Luna opened her eyes and smiled gently at Elysia with a plea and expectant gaze. "I want you to call me, Mama Luna, pretty please?"
"A, ahm..." Elysia was taken aback at the sudden unexpected request. She asked Elena for advice immediately, but the latter only asked to decide based on heart and conscience.
"Uh... Ma, ma- Mama Luna..." For some reason, Elysia felt that something was missing from within. Perhaps, something emotional. But it was gone a moment later for no reason.
'What was that?' Elysia put her hand on her upper chest as she was sure there was nothing wrong with her body or feeling. Luna also didn't do anything like the trap words Nell did before.
"Un, un, you are my good daughter now." Luna nodded happily. She then looked at the heavenly golden-haired woman with a brilliant gaze. "Mm, the Goddess of Light, I have Elysia's approval to make her as my foster daughter. Please bless us with your blessing as well~"
"Do as you please, but I don't want any loss on our side, including whatever will come to my precious disciple Elysia. You know the advantages and consequences for this." Elena gently waved her hand to let the fox lady be free from Rhea's restraint magic.
"This Luna understood, thank you for your blessing. We are family now, ufufu..." Luna gave a bow of respect. Then, she raised her head after five seconds. "Well then, allow me to excuse myself for a moment to retrieve the tape in question."
"You may go." Elena responded curtly and sat down next to Elysia.
After the mature fox lady left the room, the young fox girl gulped down her saliva as she returned to the world's reality. That was a little hard to believe, but there were actually four Goddess!?
Yuuki still thought of Elysia as a Goddess and simply ignored Luna's assumptions. However, one thing that put her in a great dilemma was that the annoying golden-haired woman was also a divine being!
"Oh my, my, what's wrong with you, Yuu-ki? Do you have a fever or are you not feeling well?" Elena accidentally caught Yuuki's pale expression. She asked with concern, but her expression didn't show that.
"I've been tricked, I've been backstabbed and I've been quite possibly, bamboozled... You did that on purpose, right? Is Elysia really your disciple? Why do you, as a master, act like a little girl instead? You're a divine being, is it fun to bully a naive mortal like me?" Yuuki pursed her lips and moved closer to Elysia. She hid behind Elysia.
"First time?" Nell folded her arms and nodded as if she understood the pain.
"Who knows. I just enjoy watching your response, expression, and behavior when I tease you. Who would have thought you took it to heart and burst into tears pitifully. But, you're not the first and only one. You just haven't understand many things about the relationship between living things." Elena shrugged her shoulders. She knew Elysia was confused about something, and she was there to help and check.
"Oohh... Maybe, you're right..." Yuuki's ears and tails went limp. She tried to introspect herself.
Hearing Elena's answer, Nell also went pensive. She reconsidered whether Elena wasn't actually bullying her. Was it just for teasing her?
On the other hand, Rhea scanned every corner of the room to ensure there was no danger or anything unexpected. Meanwhile, the little beasts went around the room to check and make sure of something.
'I can't find anything wrong with your body, Ely. Was it just a fleeting feeling? Or, you may be reminded of your family on Earth?' Elena concluded after she finished scanning Elysia's body.
'I don't understand either, Sister Elena. Let's put this aside for now, I also don't know what I was feeling, and also because of what you just said, I'm thinking twice.' Elysia took in a deep breath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Then, just as you said, let's put this matter aside, Ely. Please don't overthink if we are still clueless like this.' Elena suggested, but she seemed to know something about Elysia's mentality.
A few moments later, Luna returned to the room with small yet elegant steps. It was as if she wanted to impress anyone who looked at her.
She checked if there were any barriers in her way, and there were none. Therefore, she sat near her distinguished guests with smooth movements.
"Here, let's take a look at this recording~" Luna took out a black box from a Space Bag. Then, she pressed a button on one side, and the other side lit up.
Elysia, Elena, and all the attention were on that black box device. On the screen, a video played from a considerable distance. An event outside the walls of a large city.
Elysia and Yuuki covered their mouth as they watched it to the end. It was confirmed as what Luna said. It was a significant event or could be called a tragedy.
"See? You can assume this is a ruse or trick I made for personal gain. But, you can confirm that yourself to the grandpa in question, Elysia." Luna put the black box back into her Space Bag.
"You have my trust. Technology is already quite advanced in this world. I would be even more surprised if you could fabricate all of these events. Illusion magic wouldn't be able to create effects and results on such a large scale." Elysia shook her head slightly. She only heaved a subtle sigh at the end of her words.
"Oh my, thank you. I feel good to be trusted. You know, a clan of foxes will never be cunning, deceitful, or mean to their own family. And you all are my family from now on. So please take care of me and my clan too~" Luna hummed as she spoke.
"Then, why did my own mother dump me? I'm also from the fox clan..." Yuuki became depressed as those words hurt her feeling.
"My apologies. This may sound rude, but I'm sure there is something on your mother's side. Chances are, you were banished from the clan and are no longer considered part of them. Did anything happen in the past, if I may ask?" Luna answered with care in every sentence. She knew that it was sensitive enough for this young fox to accept.
"Is that so?" Yuuki chose not to answer because she didn't know anything either. All that she understood, her mother no longer wanted her.
"Hurr, hurr... Come here, little young fox. You can call me mama too. My offer is still valid." Luna couldn't stand the sight of the sad little fox. It was as if she was watching her own daughter being sad.
"Thank you." Yuuki didn't do anything and let Luna hug her.
After feeling satisfied stroking the snow fox girl's head, Luna muttered softly. "Ah, if my daughter would listen to me and leave tomorrow, surely she would be able to meet all of you. I wonder what will happen when she finds out about this, hmm..."
