During the period after Himeko had the stigmata transplanted.
On the training grounds, besides Elysia and Fu Hua, Himeko also often came to train with the two of them.
It's just that Himeko's training intensity wasn't as high as theirs.
Or rather, not as high as the current training intensity of Elysia and Fu Hua.
After Xiao Xuan arrived, Fu Hua's training intensity also decreased significantly, because Xiao Xuan told her that her body wasn't suitable for heavy training; maintaining her condition with light training was enough.
So during training, it was usually Fu Hua accompanying Elysia for practice, and occasionally they would spar with each other.
It was noon again. Himeko wiped her face with a towel.
"Elysia, Fu Hua, let's go, time for lunch," Himeko said, jogging.
"Okay, Sister Himeko." Elysia also slowed her pace and then followed beside Himeko.
Then the two of them slowed down more and more, finally stopping at the place where they had left their things.
After wiping the sweat from her face with a towel, Fu Hua also handed Elysia an opened water bottle containing tea prepared by Xiao Xuan.
"Thanks, Hua." Elysia took it and immediately gulped down two big mouthfuls, then let out a long sigh.
Fu Hua nodded, then took back the water bottle and screwed the cap on.
"You two lovebirds, that's enough, bullying this old leftover woman, huh?" Himeko said while drinking water.
"Sister Himeko, Hua and I have a perfectly normal relationship," Elysia complained to Himeko.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, so normal that you've even entrusted your body to Fu Hua, right?" Himeko glanced at Elysia with an indescribable look in her eyes.
"That was just a normal massage!" Elysia pouted.
"Mm-hmm, right. Can a massage really be that comfortable?"
"Hmm... how about... Sister Himeko, you give it a try?" Elysia sized up Himeko's body from head to toe.
"Hua, how about you give Sister Himeko a massage too? Otherwise, my innocence will be completely gone," Elysia said to Fu Hua, who was packing things up beside her.
"Okay," Fu Hua nodded.
"Alright, even if you're going to give me a massage, let's wait until after lunch," Himeko said very coolly, swinging her bag onto her shoulder.
After having the stigmata transplanted, Himeko had changed a lot. At the very least, she no longer had that previous feeling of self-abandonment.
She had also become more vibrant as a person.
These were all changes visible to the naked eye.
Elysia jogged up and hugged Himeko's other arm.
"Sister Himeko has become much prettier lately too♬~" Elysia said, turning her head to look at Himeko's face.
"Alright, I'm already so old. Don't be so mushy."
"But I'm telling the truth♬~ Sister Himeko, you can ask other people too. Your recent changes are quite significant♬~"
"No matter how much I change, I'm still not as good-looking as you, little enchantress," Himeko glanced at Elysia.
Elysia, having just finished exercising, had a flushed face and was radiating warmth from her body.
"Ehehe, of course♬ After all, Elysia is Miss Enchantress♬" Elysia said with her eyes narrowed.
"Alright, my Miss Enchantress, can you let go of my arm now?"
"Hehe, then Miss Enchantress will go find Hua." Elysia let go of Himeko's arm and then hugged Fu Hua's arm on the other side.
At this, Himeko could only sigh.
Elysia didn't understand her own charm at all.
If she were a bit younger, she might have fallen for it too.
After arriving home, all three of them went to freshen up a bit first. After all, having clothes sticking to the body all the time was quite uncomfortable.
After cleaning up, Elysia looked at Himeko sitting boldly in the living room, holding a beer.
Elysia walked over and snatched it away. "Sister Himeko, why do you still drink this every day?"
"It's no big deal. Even Xiao Xuan said it's fine if I drink less."
"But Xiao Xuan also said it's best not to drink at all." Elysia put the beer on the table and sat down next to Himeko.
"I'm just used to it. It's fine." Himeko ruffled Elysia's still-not-completely-dry hair, then picked up the beer again.
"I can't control you anyway."
In the afternoon, Himeko still had to go to class. Before leaving, she asked Elysia if she wanted to attend class too, but Elysia directly refused.
In the afternoon, Elysia didn't plan to train either.
Elysia planned to go buy some clothes with Fu Hua in the afternoon.
"Hua, let's go♬ I'll dress you up handsomely this afternoon♬" Elysia took Fu Hua's hand and walked out of the house.
"Clothes just need to be enough to wear."
"Hua, you really don't understand a girl's heart♬ Wait, no, Hua, you're a girl too, so you should know how to dress up a bit♬"
When they arrived at the commercial street, Elysia directly pulled Fu Hua into the store she was most familiar with.
As soon as Elysia walked in, the clerk by the cash register said, "Miss Elysia, do you have time to go shopping today?"
"Of course♬ If I didn't have time, I'd be training right now♬"
"And this is...? Oh, it's Miss Fu Hua. Welcome." The clerk looked at the person Elysia was pulling and then remembered the person who always partnered with Elysia.
"Mhm, mhm, Miss Clerk, please help Hua pick out a nice outfit♬~" Elysia pulled Fu Hua in front of her and said to the clerk.
"Don't worry, Miss Elysia. In our store, you'll definitely find clothes you're satisfied with." The clerk sized up Fu Hua from head to toe.
Then she walked into the store to pick out clothes.
Fu Hua's figure wasn't suited for clothes that showed off her body; she and Elysia were two extremes.
Elysia's figure was very good.
Therefore, Fu Hua was more suited for clothes that highlighted her temperament, or rather, handsome clothes.
In the end, the clerk brought over many androgynous outfits.
While Fu Hua was changing clothes,
"Miss Elysia, do you want to take the clothes you had custom-made today?" the clerk asked Elysia.
"Of course♬ The shop owner told me a few days ago they were already finished♬"
"Then please come with me, Miss Elysia. You can try them on first to see if they fit." The clerk walked to a cabinet and opened the door.
Looking at the clothes inside, Elysia nodded in satisfaction.
The clothes in the cabinet were unmistakably the Herrscher of Human's outfit, though the color of the accessories had some differences from the original version.
"Miss Elysia, are you attending some party, ordering such a beautiful dress?" the clerk asked curiously.
"No♬ It's just for collection♬" Elysia reached out and touched the fabric of the dress, then took it down.
"Then I'll go try on the clothes now." After saying that, Elysia took the dress to the fitting room.
Although Elysia could construct this outfit herself, having a physical item in hand felt very different.
After changing into it, Elysia stood in front of the mirror and spun around. Looking at Miss Enchantress in the mirror, Elysia smiled.
When she walked out of the fitting room, Fu Hua had already been waiting outside for a while.
Seeing Elysia like this, Fu Hua's usually very placid expression widened her eyes slightly.
Elysia walked up to Fu Hua, then lifted the hem of her skirt and spun around. "Hua, how is it? Isn't Elysia very gorgeous now♬~"
Looking at those smiling eyes, Fu Hua turned her head away.
"Could it be that Hua is also surprised by Elysia's outfit♬~"
"Mhm. It's very different from your usual self."
"Mhm, mhm, of course♬ This dress represents many things♬"
"But today, let's consider it worn for Hua♬ After all, Hua has never seen such a gorgeous me♬"
The clerk also heard Elysia's words and didn't come over to disturb Elysia and Fu Hua.
