To the Depth of Abyss - Chapter 223

Northwest Region / North Coast Palace

“Ars disappear, again?”

Sylvia just told Elisa that Ars was going somewhere for the second time.

“Even though he was the one who ordered to get ready to go down to the Floor 3 quick. But he went somewhere again.”

The plan was, after a satisfied vacation, they would go to the North Region to make preparations. But the person who devised the plan left without giving a word.

“Lady Hera said Ars won’t gone that long. So you are free until he returns.”

Given a sudden free time, Elisa is a little confused about how to spend the time.

“How about you, sis? Are you going back to Mutiara City?”

“Yes. I’ve been gone too long, leaving a lot of work at the office. My vacation is also over. I have to get back quickly.”

Sylvia is a workaholic. Instead of being happy to have a vacation, she felt burdened of leaving works.

“But you are having fun, right?”

During her life, Sylvia has always worked hard, both for herself and for everyone. Continuing to work without stopping made her think that she was going to spend her life like that until she die.

But meeting Ars, became his woman because she was forced to at the beginning, everything has changed since then.

Elisa’s question made her realized something.

“Yes, I was having fun.”

That she was having fun in her life.

“Even though I had to share that happy time with four other women with the man we all loved.”

“T-that’s…”

Ars’ harem is a problem that they cannot deny. Ars made them fall in love with him. If they love him, they have to share their love with the other five.

Ars is a man with big power. So they accept that requirement and must be kind to others.

If they can’t do it, then they lose to a girl who loves Ars because of her sincerity.

“Um, sis.”

“Yeah?”

“Can I come with you to Mutiara City?”

“Why asking?”

That means yes.

Elisa went straight to her room to prepare clothes. She didn’t know when Ars would come back. So she brought three different clothes.

“Hey, Eliz, did you already know that Ars disappeared? Where do you want to go?”

Arlene and Skadi came to her room to provide news about Ars. But it seemed they were a little late to do that.

“I want to go to Mutiara City. I forgot that I haven’t said goodbye to my family there.”

She wanted to go to Saint Arcane Academy before they go to Floor 3 and while Ars still gone.

“Can you tell Ars to pick me up when he returns, Miss Arlene?”

“Yeah, sure.”

Elisa finished packing. When she wanted to go out, Arlene showed a lonely expression at her leaving.

“What is wrong, Miss Arlene?”

“No. It’s just, I envy you for still having people to say goodbye to.”

Arlene doesn’t have anyone she can call family anymore. So did Skadi. All they have is people close to Ars.

That’s what makes them sad. Skadi was not really, though.

“Come with me then!”

“So, our passengers are increasing.”

On the front lawn, Sylvia was ready to leave with one Alpha Eagle.

One Alpha Eagle only can carry two passengers. But Elisa arrived with an additional two passengers. So there are four of them now.

“Can’t we just ask for one more Eagle?” asked Arlene.

Alpha Eagle is Huxian’s tamed beast. Previously, Sylvia only asks to borrow one. They don’t know if Huxian would give them if they ask for one more.

Then suddenly, two marbles were flung onto the lawn, becoming two Alpha Eagles.

“She heard us?!”

The two marbles must have been thrown from Ars’ office. Because the office’s window opened wide.

“She must be there, right?”

“She must be waiting for Ars by doing ‘that’.”

Of the six harem members, only Huxian was so surprised by Ars’ disappearance. Because that day was Huxian’s turns.

“Alright, we’ve got our own vehicle for the women. Eliz, who do you want to ride with?”

“Where do you guys want to go?”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Three Alpha Eagles and one Gryphon are on their way to Middle Region.

“It’s been a long time since I last saw a Gryphon,” said Sylvia, fascinated.

Sylvia, Arlene, and Skadi rides their own Alpha Eagle. Meanwhile Elisa is with Diana, the Gryphon rider.

Diana spurs Griphy to fly faster than the Alpha Eagles. So that they could feel the tension of riding the wind.

“Thanks for bringing me with you, Miss Diana!”

Elisa was very happy when Diana wanted to come with them.

“No worries! Ars is missing after all, so we’ll be idle until he comes back!”

With that, the five of them flew to Middle Region, Mutiara City.

It only took them a few hours as they passed by air to reach their destination.

Sylvia headed straight for the city. Meanwhile, the other four follow Elisa to go to Saint Arcane Academy.

The arrival of one Gryphon and two Alpha Eagles surprises the whole academy. Then they realized the person who come was Elizabeth.

Elisa goes straight to the academy to meet with the twin sisters. As for the three adult women, they have to go to the administrator’s office to submit a report, and receive complaints because they entered the academy territory just like that.

Elisa spent her time talking with the twin sister, La and Li.

“Eliz! Did you know?” “Miss Liliana married Aiden yesterday?!”

“Eh! That’s true!?”

The last time they met was a week ago, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy their longing.

Diana, Arlene, and Skadi spent their time in the Academy by sightseeing.

After having dinner with the student of the academy, the three of them excused themselves. They will be back to pick Elisa up when Ars come back.

During Ars’ departure, Elisa continued to spend time at the academy as a student. She attended lectures and classes with La and Li.

Until one month passed and Ars finally came back.

“Where have you been?”

After one month of missing, Ars came to pick up Elisa.

“Are you mad?”

“I’m not!”

“You are mad.”

Of course Elisa got mad. She was left for a month without news.

When Ars finally came home, he said: “Actually, I only gone for one day back then. I didn’t tell you that I came back in a day because I postponed our departure.”

With that, he came to Elisa without showing a single guilty.

“So, why are you picking me up now?”

A question mark showed on Ars’ head. “Well, of course, to pick you up.”

Is there any other answer? Ars thought.

“Why now?”

Ars was completely confused. Actually, what does Elisa want? Why is she mad when her beloved Ars picks her up?

“Oh!”

Finally, Ars realized. He walks closer to Elisa and gives the girl a hug from her back.

“I’m sorry. I postponed our departure for one month. During that time, I thought it best to leave you here because you have a lot of friends here. That’s why, forgive me.”

Elisa is really mad at Ars. But Ars knows how to calm Elisa down.

“I won’t forgive you until we arrive at Floor 3.”

“Thank you.”

Elisa says she won’t, but it is a postponed yes.

However, they were making out in front of a group of students and one teacher in the hallway.

The students were amazed, jealous, and embarrassed to see the two of them. As for the teacher.

“Hey, stop that! We are at academy!”

That was the teacher turns to get angry on Ars.

Respond to that, Ars look at the teacher, giving the teacher fear.

“Sorry about that! We are leaving now!”

But, as the number one person on Floor 2, Ars did not act arbitrarily. Instead, he showed the face of a reckless bad boy.

“Wait!”

Elisa knew Ars would teleported. So she asks for a quick time.

She looks at La and Li, then waving at the twin sister.

“Bye-bye.”

She did not say goodbye or farewell or something like that. She said that because she wants to believe they will meet again.

After that, they teleport back to Northwest Region. The time they descended to Floor 3 was getting closer.
