"And for you... call me as usual,"

Elysia looked at Richard with an uncomfortable expression, looks like she thought he was a nuisance. I saw this and understood why Woli mentioned the protagonist as useless because since earlier, I didn't see Richard's attitude was the same as in the game. He looked like a man who only had a simple mind, without any ambition to become strong or anything.

[Master, it seems like a lot of people are heading here]

I hear Woli's voice and look around, many groups are heading here, it seems they are attracted by worm corpses which has sand pearls. I ran towards one of the corpses and took sand pearl there.

"Let's go, this place will soon become a battlefield," I declared to them.

"Why are we going Lute, aren't they just weaklings," Elysia tilted her head.

"We have to get another pearl quickly, and even if we defeat them, we gain nothing from it."

"I see, alright," Elysia smiled.

Richard also nodded, we rushed from there to the next place. During the trip, we would meet a monster, but it was defeated easily. Then we saw an oasis in the middle of the desert we stopped there to rest. During that time Elysia was in a good mood, she was very happy fighting monsters.

"Hey Lute, do you feel Elysia is different from before?" Richard asked me.

"Maybe it's just your feelings"

"That may be so," Richard nodded.

I chuckled, he was so easy to believe. I saw Elysia who was currently playing with a small crab in the sand, she smiled sinisterly and severed crab legs one by one. I gulped seeing what she did just now, suddenly she turned to me and smiled.

"Lute, sit here, I want to talk about something."

Elysia told me to sit beside her, I nodded and sat beside her, Elysia hummed looking at river water, she then spoke.

"Hey Lute, you told me earlier, the reason you have other women even though you are engaged is, that you don't want to make them lonely and give them happiness, is that true?" Elysia turned to me tilting her head.

I scratched my cheek awkwardly, Elysia now is very different from before. She seemed to be interested in me, but what was the reason? I do not understand.

"That's true,"

"What about me, I'm so lonely can you give me happiness??" Elysia looked at me with a pleading expression.

"I--"

"Hahahaha, I was just joking, your face is so cute, I can't help it," Elysia burst out laughing.

A blue line appears on my temple, I look at it in annoyance and stand away. Elysia keeps following me and laughs at my face.

"Hahaha, what's wrong Lute? Did you think I was telling the truth? Hahaha, your expression is so funny,"

'This woman pisses me off, you'll see, I'll change your character until all you think about is me,'

[Pfft, Master, you got bullied by her, this is so funny] Woli was holding back laughter in the system.

"Never mind let's go to the next location," I said with an annoyed expression.

"Oya, oya, what is this, are you so upset, Lute?" Elysia giggled.

I ignored her and took Richard to find another pearl. During the trip, all I heard was Elysia laughing continuously. This made me very upset, without realizing it we finally arrived at a beach that looks calm.

"Sea pearls should be in this area, let's go in,"

*Brooom*

Suddenly there was an engine sound like a car, we were surprised and turned towards it. There was a strange car like a jeep, moving fast towards us. We all immediately jumped to avoid it. A girl with white-haired bunny ears was driving a car along with her group. She looked at us with a mocking smile, suddenly her car tires pushed sand towards us making us all bathed in the sand.

"Hahaha, it suits all of you,"

The car moves forward towards the sea and slowly transforms into a cool submarine before diving into the sea. We were all dumbfounded at what had just happened, I was also surprised to meet that woman. She is a sub heroine with Crafting abilities, she can make all kinds of things from her abilities, this is almost similar to Celyne's abilities, only the things she makes are things like technology, weapons, or something like that.

"How dare that woman make me dirty like this, I will repay her," Elysia looked very angry, her body was covered with sand because of their car.

"Wait Elysia, you have to calm down,"

Elysia looks at me with a charming smile, she holds my hand and pulls me towards the sea.

"Let's go, we'll make them regret it,"

"Oi wait for me," Richard ran after us.

We jumped into the sea, and as expected, we couldn't breathe underwater. That's because we haven't reached Rank A. When a person reaches Rank A, there will be many changes in their body like you will be able to fly, even breathe underwater.

Elysia narrowed her eyes looking into seawater when she saw the submarine earlier. She made a mirror in front of her and shot red energy towards the submarine. Bunny girl in the submarine was shocked, she dodged the attack and looked up.

"Heh, what can you do here? You're even having trouble breathing."

The bunny girl scoffed, she looked at her group members and told them to press a button. They nodded, and a canon appeared on the back of the submarine. Cannon was pointed at us, then engine sound was heard and an energy shot was fired.

Elysia just smiled, she created a mirror in front of her and reflected attack. The bunny girl didn't expect her attack to be reflected, she tried to dodge the attack, but the submarine was still slightly hit.

"Damn it, looks like I underestimated them,"

*ROAAARR*

From the sea came a roar, after which creatures such as salamanders, crocodiles, and many other sea creatures headed here. Some of them had sea pearls in their eyes, Richard and I were surprised, we both swam out of the water to catch our breath. But seeing Elysia who was still attacking towards that group's submarine, I shook my head and pulled her with my chain after that I wrapped my arms around her waist.

Elysia was taken aback, she looked at me with an angry expression, but I ignored her and we all go out of water. We took a breath.

"Lute, why did you stop me, I want to beat that woman," Elysia looked displeased.

"We can't beat them now, terrain in water makes it hard for us to breathe, you can fight her after we finish this test, if we fail, we won't pass the exam. You don't want this to happen do you?" I see it seriously.

Elysia opened her eyes wide finally she sighed, she was too emotional earlier, so she forgot about this.
