Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

Elise slowly stood up, yawned lazily, and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

Seeing this, Elira was suddenly at a loss. If Iris wanted to sleep, how could she keep an eye on her?

We can't just go back to the room with Elise, can we?

Volume 1: Chapter 745 So Great, Miss Elira!

Late at night, in Elira's room.

At this moment, she was using her abilities to monitor Elise's room.

She acquired this ability after a rebirth. Within the range of her ability's influence, as long as there is water, she can perceive everything happening around her through the water.

She had used this ability to investigate Ronald before.

Elira could clearly sense that Iris was curled up in bed and had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, she dared not relax, fearing that Elise might do something self-destructive after waking up.

Although she knew very well that she was doing this for Elise's safety, Elira always felt that her behavior was somewhat perverse.

However, as long as Elise doesn't find out, there's no problem.

Just as Elira was lost in thought, she suddenly noticed that the sleeping Elise had her brows furrowed slightly, as if she were having a nightmare.

Even after witnessing this scene, she couldn't help but want to smooth down Elise's furrowed brow.

However, she held back, while inwardly marveling at Elise's powerful charm, which evoked a sense of pity even without using seduction.

Elira had always believed that her will was very strong, until she saw Elise's increasingly pained expression, and she realized that her will was not so strong after all.

After a moment's hesitation, Elira couldn't help but control her abilities.

Suddenly, water overflowed from the glass on Elise's bedside table, transforming into a slender arm made of water that gently smoothed Elise's furrowed brow and even tidied her slightly disheveled hair.

After doing all this, Elira returned the water hand to the cup.

Based on my understanding, there shouldn't be any problems. Her manipulation is very subtle, and Elise is asleep...

After observing Elise for a while longer and finding that she was not acting strangely, Elira breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The next day, early morning.

Elira walked out of the room while yawning.

As a seventh-tier powerhouse, she could actually go without sleep for several days without any problems.

But unfortunately, she used her abilities non-stop all night, which has left her feeling somewhat listless.

But she had to go on a date with Elise, so she couldn't get any sleep or rest.

Just as Elira stepped out of her room, Elise's door opened, and Elise emerged from her room looking refreshed.

Elira saw no trace of the nightmare on her face.

"Good morning~" Seeing Elira, Iris walked briskly to Elira's side. After observing her carefully, she asked curiously, "Did you not sleep well because you were thinking about your date with me today?"

Elira instinctively wanted to refute, but if she did, it seemed she couldn't find any other suitable reason.

Thinking that there was no one else around, she simply nodded: "That's right, just as you guessed."

After saying those words, Elira felt incredibly proud of herself. She wondered if she could ask Estella to forge a god-slaying weapon when Estella returned.

"So you value this date that much."

"of course."

"Haven't you ever dated anyone before?"

"If I say no, will you laugh at me?"

"Hee hee~"

Although she already had a very deep understanding of Elise's wicked personality, seeing her cover her mouth and chuckle still made Elira feel somewhat annoyed.

However, she didn't deliberately fabricate facts.

She was already exhausted just trying to survive, so who would have the mind to think about those kinds of things?

But in any case, Elise seems to be in good spirits, and hopefully it's not just an appearance.

After the meal, Elise went back to her room to prepare.

Elira looked completely bewildered. What preparations were needed for a date?

She looked down at her clothes, a combination of her usual plain-colored long dress and mage robe. Then she looked in the mirror. Although she wasn't as beautiful as Elise, she was still quite pretty.

There shouldn't be anything else to prepare.

After some time.

Elise, dressed up, came downstairs. Looking at Elira, who hadn't changed at all, she raised an eyebrow: "I'm starting to believe you haven't been on a date at all."

Looking at Elise's exquisite makeup and appropriate attire, Elira blushed and tried to defend herself, but the words she could think of were too weak, and she eventually gave up struggling.

"Let's not worry about these trivial things, let's go out."

"Okay, so where are you going to take me?"

"How about we check out the black market first? I heard they recently got a new batch of goods there, discovered in some ancient ruins."

"Are you sure you want to go on a date at the black market?" Elise deliberately emphasized the word 'date'.

For a fleeting moment, she even thought that Elira could sit at the same table as Nora.

“I know it’s not a good idea to go on a date in the black market, but I don’t know which place to choose.” Elira shrugged helplessly.

"Alright, come with me, let's go to... Fallen Leaves Street."

Elise, who almost called it Golden Street, suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia. She wondered how the reconstruction of Seria had progressed over the past few days.

When I have time, I'll find an opportunity to go back and visit.

Fallen Leaves Street, much like Celia's Golden Avenue, is Cascade's premier shopping street. (√)

Compared to the magical and technological style of Golden Street, Fallen Leaf Street is much more retro. In the central square of Fallen Leaf Street, there is an ancient tree left over from the era of the gods, from which the street gets its name.

After arriving at Fallen Leaves Street by carriage, Elira looked at the ancient tree in the distance and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything special about this tree? I've been studying it for quite some time but haven't been able to figure it out."

"There's nothing special about this tree, but there are some things buried under it."

"What is it?" Elira's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"A couple's love letters, a touching story, a pile of useless letters, and nothing else."

Elise was referring to a side quest in the game, a very touching one. Although there were no special rewards, the story moved many players, including Elise herself.

However, even when she recalls that story now, she no longer feels the same emotions she once did.

Volume 1: Chapter 746 You really should sit at the same table as Nora!

Elira had studied this ancient tree for a long time and had even gone deep underground, where she discovered the letters that Elise had mentioned.

As Elise said, it was a touching story, but also a pile of useless letters.

She asked the question knowing the answer already, just to test Elise a little, but she didn't expect the other party to know even such a thing.

So how many times has she been reborn?

Elira originally thought that Elise had been reborn two or three times more times than she had, but now it seems that it might be far more than that.

Having been reborn hundreds of times, she was already on the verge of collapse. If Elise had been reborn far more times than she had, how... how had she managed to hold on until now?

Just then, Elira suddenly felt her hand being pulled. The familiar scent of morning dew and flowers was much stronger than usual, refreshing and delightful.

"Where are we going?"

"I'll dress you up a bit. I'm getting tired of seeing you in this tattered mage robe every day."

"What a lousy robe! This is a magic robe produced by the Alchemy Association, with self-cleaning, simple protection, and even the ability to increase mana regeneration! Apart from not being very good-looking, it's basically flawless!"

"For me, looking good is the most important thing."

For Elise now, the stage of prioritizing strength has long passed. After all, she is not the protagonist. As long as she doesn't die, she can leave everything else to the protagonist.

Therefore, she values ​​appearance more than strength.

Of course, it would be best if there were clothes that were both practical and stylish, like the three dresses that Estella gave her, which she really liked.

They took Elira to a clothing store on Fallen Leaves Street. Although the store was in an inconspicuous location, it was the most expensive clothing store in all of Castor.

Elira clearly knew this place; she had been there once before and, after checking the prices, decided to book it.

In her opinion, it would be better to use that spare money to buy more magical items for herself.

Seeing Elira clutching her spatial ring, Elise couldn't help but smile: "Alright, I'll pay for the clothes, consider it rent."

"How about you give me the money, and I'll use it for something more meaningful?"

"Of course... no."

The more Elira resisted, the more Elise wanted her to do things she didn't want to do.

After all, this wicked woman loves nothing more than making things difficult for others.

Elira was aware of this, but by the time she realized it, it was too late.

Elira then spent a considerable amount of time in the fitting room. Thanks to the changing ring, she couldn't even imagine how much time it would take her to change into so many complicated clothes.

However, seeing Elise's enthusiastic expression every time she came out of the fitting room, Elira didn't really care.

After all, she agreed to go on a date with Elise precisely to make Elise happy.

As long as she's happy, she shouldn't have any self-destructive impulses, right?

Elira was actually skeptical about this, after all, in this era where cults were everywhere, she had seen too many examples of people who seemed mentally stable but had actually already fallen into madness.

She felt that Elise's madness was more terrifying than those so-called cultists.

It's just that something seems to be restraining her.

The light from the changing ring flickered, and Elira looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in an elaborate moon-white dress. A look of amazement flashed in her eyes; she hadn't realized she could look so beautiful.

As they stepped out of the fitting room again, Elise's voice rang out: "This dress is very nice, I'll buy it."

Hearing Elise's words, Elira couldn't help but say, "We've already bought several dresses, isn't that enough?"

Seeing the other person's embarrassed look, Elise chuckled and said, "Alright, let's stop here for now. You can wear this dress for now."

"Oh." Upon hearing Elise's words, Elira breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the clothing store, she could clearly feel that the gazes of the people around her seemed to have become much more intense than before.

Elira actually has a great figure, but it has always been well hidden by her attire. Now that her favorite mage robe is gone, and Elise next to her has once again activated her holy appearance, the attention of passersby naturally falls on her.

Seeing Elise smirking to herself, Elira couldn't help but sigh, then used her talent to reduce her own presence.

Sensing the change in Elira, Iris couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "You even have this kind of ability?"

"Having been reborn many times, one also acquires a lot of strange and unusual abilities."

"This is not some strange ability; it is one of the top talents of an assassin."

"Is this ability really that powerful?" Elira squinted.

Elise gave Elira a meaningful look, then said, "I always feel like you're just acting."

"No, I just have a few weird and wonderful abilities."

Elira wanted to say something more to prove her innocence, but to her surprise, Elise didn't press the matter. Instead, she held Elira's hand and continued this strange date.

Do you think this necklace looks good on me?

"generally."

"I'd like to try your snack."

"I'll buy you a new one; I've already eaten this one."

"My legs are a little sore, could you give me a massage?"

"Healing!"

"You really should sit at the same table as Nora!"
