At this time, Elizabeth and Merceris were discussing their plans for eradicating the abyss in the future. After all, it would be dangerous for the two of them to defend against the aftermath alone, so it would be better for them to resist together to be on the safe side.

Melreth was preparing various supplies for Melchis. Why did these things look familiar? They seemed to be the Fairy Mother's own supplies, right?

Are the relationships between superiors and subordinates so casual among the White Elves?!

As for Eve and the others, after a period of confusion, they are now teaching Melchis to speak and read.

Well, Melchis couldn't even speak at this time. She wanted to express her meaning only by nodding, shaking her head and using some body movements. How much she understood was entirely up to guessing.

But her talent is still so outrageous. It hasn't been taught for long before she can utter some fragmented words bit by bit, as if she had already learned it and this time she was just awakening her memory. I guess she will be able to communicate in about a week?

"Okay, next word, this is love~"

"Love~?"

Melchis followed Eve's pronunciation and recited it.

"Yes, love is an emotion."

"emotion?"

After listening to Eve's explanation, Melchis had a string of question marks in her head again. It seemed that she had accidentally exceeded the scope. After all, apart from combat, Eve herself was not very good at teaching others. But now that the matter of traveling together was a foregone conclusion, she could only make do with it.

"Feelings are... um... just..."

"Emotions are your moods. Besides love, there are also likes, joy, sadness, anger, etc. I will let Melchis understand little by little in the future."

Fortunately, Istina intervened in time to save the situation.

"Huh? Oh."

Seeing that Melchis didn't pursue the matter any further, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. If she continued, it would be really difficult to explain.

From the feeling of contact, Melchis is completely like a blank sheet of paper, knowing nothing, but has a strong learning ability. She will learn whatever you teach her. If you teach her the wrong way, it will be a headache.

So why did the Fairy Mother suddenly entrust Melchis to their care? It can't be just because she was brought back by them, right?

What is even more confusing is that she was even willing to allow the two of them to enter the elven wonderland in exchange for letting her stay with them.

And after all, why did my mother agree to it?

I don't understand, I don't understand at all. I just hope that the meeting between Mother and the Mother of Elves will end soon. I have a lot of questions I want to ask Mother now.

It seemed that Eve's prayer was answered. With the sound of footsteps not far away, Elizabeth and the other person came to them, took their people away and gave them private instructions.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

In Eve's temporary room in the Abyss Stronghold.

"Hoohoo, how's it going? I didn't expect mother to come, did she?"

"Yeah, I thought only the Fairy Mother would come."

After saying that, Eve started asking about the business.

"By the way, why did Mother agree to let Melchis come with us? Although the qualification to enter the Wonderland is valuable, it shouldn't be necessary to sell the private time of Istina, me, and the others, right?"

It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, but I still feel confused.

"Yes, mother, it's clearly about the journey between me and the hero."

Istina on the side also said with a pout.

"Well...that child is very special, much more special than little Eve thought."

After a moment's thought, Elizabeth replied with a serious expression.

"She shouldn't have met anyone, but she still appeared before you. Although I don't know the exact reason, I can only leave her in your care. Mother can't tell you more for now, but I will tell you when you return from the elves. For now, just treat her as an ordinary girl."

…I can’t say I didn’t say anything, I can only say it’s the same as not saying anything.

What the hell? Mother said this white elf girl has some secret, and that's why we're the only ones left to take care of her?

Since Elizabeth said she would explain to them after returning to the vampire clan, then we'll just wait. There's no other way anyway.

It is impossible to ask further questions. It is impossible to ask further questions in this lifetime. It would be a miracle if you can get anything out of it.

"Okay... so we just need to continue traveling with her?"

"Yes, that's all. It's enough for her."

Elizabeth finally said something that sounded like hospice care and then changed the subject.

"And little Eve, were you just teaching her to speak?"

"Yeah, she's a quick learner."

Eve nodded and replied.

"But the hero and I are not very good at teaching others, so it won't be a problem..."

As for Istina, she expressed some of her concerns.

"It's okay. After taking Little Eve to visit the elven city, she should be no different from ordinary people. The process of teaching her is just an introduction. Just bring her to meet more people."

Elizabeth waved her hand soothingly.

"Is that so? Then I'll take her on a tour of the forest elves' city. But if we lose sight of her, we'll completely forget her existence. Is there any way to solve this? If she gets lost, we probably won't even remember."

"Just don't worry about it."

"what?"

After hearing Elizabeth's answer, Eve and Elizabeth were both stunned. She'd entrusted someone to her care, and she didn't care if they got lost? Even if they were just letting someone go, it wouldn't be like this.

"If she disappears from your side, that's her fate and her choice. Ultimately, if she hadn't met you, she wouldn't exist in anyone's memory, so just let it be."

After saying this, Elizabeth changed the subject and continued.

"But the above is just one scenario. As you interact with other people, your forgetfulness of her will be alleviated. That situation shouldn't happen."

"Is this so..."

No wonder they realized they seemed to have forgotten something when they met Melchis before. It seemed that it was because she had come into contact with other elves.

"Okay."

Elizabeth clapped her hands gently and ended the conversation.

"Mother is about to go back, come, let me hug you before she leaves."

Elizabeth said as she opened her arms and looked at the two people in front of her.

"Ah."

Eve was naturally very familiar with the situation and she hugged Elizabeth directly and naturally. She rested her little head on Elizabeth's chest and rubbed it gently. Although it was a familiar flat bed for her head, it was her mother's arms after all.

But Istina was a little shy, and only after Elizabeth gently pulled her in was she hugged in.

Although Istina's body was a little stiff at first, she quickly got into the mood with Elizabeth's comfort, and the three of them, mother and daughter, enjoyed a warm time together.

§ 65 Travel companion plus one

"Okay."

He gently patted Eve and Istina in his arms and motioned them to stand in front of him.

"If you miss me, remember to come home anytime. And I will come to see you every time I destroy the Abyss in the future."

Elizabeth smiled at the two little faces and stroked their cheeks with one hand.

"Hey, is it true?"

"Well, it's because your strength is so strong, little Eve."

Elizabeth reached out and scratched the tip of Eve's nose.

"So, just to be on the safe side, Mother will come and help us every time we destroy the Abyss."

"Great!"

Although she had just let go of Elizabeth, Eve once again threw herself into her arms after hearing the good news. As for Istina, although she was also very happy, she did not hug her again because she was shy.

"Hoo-hoo, alright, let's go. Little Eve, it's time for you guys to set off again."

"Ok!"

Later, in the reception room of the stronghold.

"Princess Eve, I'll ask you to take care of Melchis for a while."

Looking at Eve and the others in front of her, Melceris said gently.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of her."

"Well, I believe Princess Eve can do it. Take this as well."

As she spoke, Melceris reached into the demiplane and took out a gorgeous crystal, which she handed to Eve. From the outside, this crystal looked the same as the one inlaid on the necklace on her chest, but it was slightly smaller.

"This crystal allows you to freely use teleportation magic to reach any location within the Elven Tribe. If Princess Eve needs to go and destroy other abysses, she can use this to teleport directly there."

After saying that, Melceris once again looked at Melchis beside Eve, but this time she just smiled at her and didn't say anything else.

But Eve felt that smile was filled with a hint of apology and helplessness. But why?

Obviously, Merceris is one of the strongest people on the continent, so there shouldn't be anything that would make her look like this...

Before she could think any more, Melcelis said the final words.

"Then I wish Princess Eve a pleasant journey. It's time for me to return."

As they spoke, Melceris and Melris disappeared in the light of teleportation magic.

On the other side, Elizabeth gave Eve and Istina a final hug and then teleported back to the Vampire Royal City.

After all, both of them are the kind of people who are very busy. After wiping out the abyss, there are still a lot of things that need to be coordinated, such as manpower and resource supply lines, which require them to worry about, so naturally they cannot stay for long.

In a sense, Eve is the one who is less troublesome because she is only responsible for the physical work.

As for the Beast King who has been hanging around on the westernmost front, he is an exception. He usually leaves the affairs to his subordinates to handle. Unless it is an extremely urgent matter, he won't even bother to take care of it. He can be said to be a nominal clan leader.

To be honest, the orcs didn't collapse and each occupied its own territory thanks to his own strength and the hard work of his subordinates. However, he himself has a very high personal charm, otherwise he would not have been able to form such a management team to handle affairs on his behalf.

After Elizabeth and the others left, only Eve and her group of five were left in the abyss defense stronghold. This stronghold will be transformed into a town bit by bit in the future. After all, the buildings here are extremely strong in order to withstand the abyss waves. Instead of taking the trouble to demolish them, it is better to reuse them.

"Okay, let's get going."

After stretching, Eve changed her dress back into her usual casual clothes. After all, although the dress looked good, it was still not convenient for movement.

"Ah, we still need to teach Melchis how to fly first, but she should be able to learn it straight away, right?"

Eve said as she looked at Melchis beside her.

After all, the last time she came back with the other person in her arms, Istina got jealous and pushed her away. Eve didn't want to do it again knowingly.

"?"

Melchis tilted her head slightly, as if to say, "I don't understand what you are saying. After all, I'm just an innocent elf." Eve couldn't help but smile.

"Okay! Let's go! Today's goal is to teach Melchis how to fly!"

Eve raised her right hand high and shouted.

"Oh!"

Seeing Eve inexplicably excited again, Istina and the others also cooperated and echoed her.

"oh!…?"

A little later, Melchis followed suit and shouted, which was very cute.

In this way, Eve and her group had another member on their journey.

—·—·—·—·—·—·—

Later, above the Elf Forest.

"Okay, just do this to me to slow it down. Come on, Shizu, try it too."

"Ok!"

At this time, Eve was teaching Melchis. Because her name was quite long, Eve decided to call her Shisi to save trouble.
