Chapter 36 - Crimson Wave
After Elysia waited for Brian and David to finish their lunch, she was about to continue touring the city for a while before stopping by the city library.
"Mr. Brian and Mr. David, I still need to do a few things before the opening ceremony for new students is held. Therefore, I excuse myself. See you later, have a nice day."
Elysia carried Vanessa in her arms before waving goodbye to the two men who were kind enough to give her information and also paid for lunch with a sweet smile on her face as she left there.
Brian and David absentmindedly joined in waving their hands at the beautiful girl who had just had lunch with them, their gaze following the girl who slowly walked away from there.
After Elysia left there, Brian came back from his daze to see the friend beside him who was still waving his hand stupidly.
"Hey! David, she is my target girl. What's with that dazed face that keeps looking at her, huh!" Brian knocks David out of his pique.
"Ow! Ah? Sorry, boss. But she is a nice girl to talk to and also she is much prettier on closer inspection. I can't help it." David rubbed the back of his waist which was beaten by his boss.
"Even so, she is my future girlfriend. You as a good vassal will help me to get her." Brian grunted as he folded his arms.
"But boss, you didn't even get her name."
The words from David seemed to hit Brian at once because he had just realized about it. Because he was so absorbed in telling information like someone who knows everything, he forgot to ask the beautiful girl's name again after he became a cat lover and their conversation became comfortable.
"We'll see her in three days. At that time, all the new students in the class will introduce themselves."
Brian did not want to admit his negligence because he had missed a golden opportunity to make acquaintances with the girl and approach her further.
"What about your maiden flirting technique? She doesn't fall for just your good looks and your sweet words."
Another blow came at Brian who was boasting too big. His actual appearance was only slightly above average and he dared to brag that a beautiful girl would soon fall for him.
"I changed my mind. She is a beautiful and kind-hearted girl yet so lovely. Initially, I was only planning to make her my concubine or girlfriend, but after knowing her personality and talent... Err... Yeah! I've decided to make her my future wife."
Brian clenched his fists high into the air at the great goal that was appearing for the first time, other than to prove himself to his family.
"Wow! I didn't expect it, boss. But don't worry, this humble vassal will be with you."
David stood up and put one hand on his chest after hearing that lofty goal. His boss turned out to have seen far ahead and immediately changed his plans.
"This is your bill, sir." The waitress suddenly appeared beside David.
"Here, just keep the change. David, let's go. We have a lot of things waiting for us hahaha!"
Brian didn't need to look at the bill and immediately paid by placing the coins on the waitress's tray. He has calculated the cost required for all the dishes that have been ordered when viewing the menu book earlier.
David who saw the overbearing behavior of his boss was once again amazed and immediately followed suit. He was grateful that he stayed class and got to know Brian better, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get along with Brian.
Despite the same fate, David who comes from the Baron Family is happy to become a vassal of Brian who comes from the Marquess Family.
The waitress who saw them leave immediately counted the coins left on the tray along with the bill.
"What with 'just take the change'? You paid with the right amount, stingy..." She snorted in dissatisfaction before returning to her duties. Unfortunately, Brian was too far away to hear that, otherwise he might run away in shame.
Meanwhile, Elysia is walking in the bustling capital city with no clear purpose other than looking to the left and right and then from one shop to another like newcomers who don't know the direction and destination.
'So, where are we going now?' Elysia muttered in confusion.
'Of course to buy daily necessities! You are now a girl and also so beautiful, you need a lot of things. Let's go to the supermarket! Go! Go!' Elena cheerfully announced their destination.
'There's no supermarket here, Sister Elena. Maybe we can go to the convenience store we passed earlier.' Elysia turned around to head for the shop in question.
Elysia arrived at a large convenience store called 'Tiecoon' and immediately entered it without hesitation.
Shortly before she entered the convenience store from the main entrance, she saw that several people had to leave their [Space Bag] or their usual bag to a special storage area that had been provided there with the guard of several well-built people.
It seems that carrying storage objects of any kind will be prohibited for shopping to prevent theft. Because of that, Elysia double-checked that her [Space Bag] was actually inside her [Space Storage] before entering the shop unhindered and starting shopping.
She follows several people who are buying their groceries on a shopping cart and also picks one up for her before going around looking for what to buy.
'What do we need to buy?'
Elysia puts Vanessa in her shopping cart and asks what seems more experienced. She doesn't know what a girl needs in their daily life and ends up clueless, while her cousin on Earth always buys her own daily necessities with the money given to her.
'You need facial foam, skincare, moisturizer, shampoo, soap, serum...'
Elena chirps about what to buy with the knowledge she still remembers while on Earth. Even though she is always inside the Soul Realm, she knows a lot about what's going on out there from just her observations.
'... and also you need sanitary napkins.'
Elysia coughs at the last thing Elena mentioned on her 'need to buy' list.
'Do we need all of that? I can take good care of my body with energy and magic, right?' Elysia walked around slowly while discussing with Elena in her mind.
'Hmm... Come to think of it, you're right. Even so, you still need to buy some from the list I mentioned earlier. Especially sanitary napkins, you don't want to be all red down there when the time comes, do you?'
Elena lightly patted her chin with her finger as she folded her arms under her breasts while thinking a few things.
Remembering that, Elysia's face has turned slightly pale. Now that she has become a girl, maybe the crimson wave for women who will come almost every month will also come to visit her soon.
'Can't I prevent that with magic? I don't think I'll survive if I have to keep bleeding down there every month...' Elysia helplessly whined a little.
'I also think so, I also wonder why every woman is not short of blood even though they always bleed every month. You can try it and maybe it will really help you.'
Elena says it as if she is not a woman even though she is one of them. It's just that she doesn't know and has never experienced it in herself.
Elysia nodded slightly and stopped her steps then put her hand just above her abdominal area and used her advanced perception to take a deeper look at her body.
She did something to her reproductive organs with the biological knowledge she had learned. She knows what causes menstruation for women and what might prevent it.
With that knowledge, she puts her ovulation system into hibernation mode to prevent the crimson wave for the woman who will come almost every month on her body. This way, Elysia will be safe and free from her worries about bleeding out from down there.
