The next day, Ellin stepped out of her room in her blue skirt and gauzy garment.
"Aaaah!"
Hermann and his wife screamed in unison!
"Ahhh! It's an elf!! Oh, wait, it's our little Ellin!"
"Is it really that dramatic?" Ellin felt a little helpless, but soon struck a cool pose. "Mom, Dad, do I look good?"
"Good? You look incredible! Our little Ellin is even more beautiful and pure than an angel!" Hermann was ecstatic!
Ellin's mother looked equally amazed, and she couldn't stop smiling.
Her daughter really was growing more beautiful by the day.
Yet alongside her happiness, Ellin's mother felt a little worried. Her daughter was growing stronger and stronger, and her beauty was becoming ever more otherworldly.
Her daughter becoming more outstanding was certainly a good thing, but being too outstanding brought its own troubles. Ellin's mother was already worrying about what she would do if Ellin became so exceptional that she couldn't find a husband.
After all, no one dared harbor impure thoughts about someone far beyond their reach.
How many people in this world would dare fall in love with a god in the heavens?
Still, better no husband than a bad one. Our little Ellin is so outstanding. Even if no one dares pursue her, we can't just marry her off to anyone! Ellin's mother thought.
Ellin had no idea what her mother was thinking. Of course, even if she had known, she wouldn't have taken it seriously.
After breakfast, she left home and headed to the Training Ground. She had arranged to train with Noelle that morning.
"Wow! Ellin, you look so beautiful today! Your outfit is gorgeous too! Where did you get it?"
The moment Noelle saw her, she covered her mouth and gasped.
"Pretty, isn't it? Sucrose made it for me using the Cryo Regisvine we cut down a while ago!"
Ellin rarely showed anything off, but she couldn't stop smiling. Clearly, she really loved this outfit. (Does anyone still remember that her soul was male?)
Soon, Ellin and Noelle began their training.
Previously, Ellin had been so weak that she couldn't even spar with Noelle. It couldn't be helped. With Noelle's monstrous strength behind a two-handed greatsword weighing over a hundred pounds, the force of her blows was more than an ordinary person could withstand.
So in the past, Noelle had mostly given verbal instructions while Ellin practiced accordingly.
But things were different now. Ellin's strength had soared so much that even Noelle fighting at full power struggled to match her. That was precisely why they could now serve as each other's sparring partners.
On the Training Ground, the two girls swung their weapons in a fierce, ongoing exchange. Though they held back to avoid hurting each other, their understanding of combat, control over their strength, fighting techniques, and experience all continued to improve.
At noon, their training ended.
"Ellin, you really are getting stronger and stronger!"
Noelle planted her greatsword against the ground, wiping away her sweat as she caught her breath.
After a whole morning of fighting, she had come to appreciate Ellin's strengths more and more. Not only was Ellin physically powerful, but her use and development of Elemental Energy were also uniquely impressive.
Her dual Electro and Cryo Elemental Energy was incredibly difficult to deal with. The two different elements surrounded Ellin, often preventing Noelle from getting close.
Noelle could also tell that Ellin still had plenty of strength to spare. Most importantly, Feng'er, her familiar, hadn't even joined the fight!
Before I knew it, she had already pulled ahead of me. Perhaps one day, I'll even have to look up at her retreating figure.
Noelle sighed. Still, she had to admit that the pressure Ellin's strength placed on her had given her plenty of insights and greatly improved her combat skills.
Meanwhile, Ellin felt refreshed in both body and mind. She, too, had gained a great deal from that morning's training.
Leaving aside the improvements to her fighting skills and combat experience, that morning's battles had finally taught Ellin just how precious the outfit she wore really was.
Until then, she had always thought that her clothes and jewelry did nothing beyond looking pretty.
But when she tried channeling Cryo power during combat, she finally realized just what an incredible treasure Sucrose had made for her!
When she channeled Cryo power, the clothes and jewelry she wore, all made from various parts of the Cryo Regisvine, actually resonated intensely with Cryo!
Wearing this outfit was like having an invisible black hole on her body. With a mere thought, vast amounts of Cryo power surged toward her!
The clothes and jewelry alone increased the speed at which she channeled Cryo power by a full fifty percent!
However, the outfit and jewelry only increased her Cryo channeling speed. They had no amplifying effect on her Electro power.
Even so, a fifty-percent increase in Cryo channeling speed was already astonishing!
She had made up her mind to keep wearing this outfit from now on.
After training ended, Ellin said goodbye to Noelle and returned home.
Once home, she took a bath to wash away the smell of sweat, then washed her outfit and hung it out to dry.
Because the outfit was made from materials harvested from the Cryo Regisvine, it dried exceptionally quickly. By the time Ellin woke from her afternoon nap, it was already dry. She put her beautiful outfit back on and went out to spend time with Fischl.
There was no denying that Ellin looked absolutely beautiful in the White-Mist Garment, Star-Blue Skirt.
As she walked along the street, she looked like a flower elf wandering the mortal world. With the Ice Phoenix beside her, exuding a noble, aloof air as cold mist rose around it, she looked even more otherworldly.
Along the way, she drew countless gazes and turned countless heads. Who knew how many hearts fluttered at the sight of her, only for their owners to feel unworthy in the face of her radiance and quietly sink into melancholy?
"Ah, this outfit is wonderful!" Ellin exclaimed cheerfully.
Of course, she wasn't happy because the outfit made her prettier or more attractive to men.
The real reason she was happy was that, ever since she had put on the Slime Bra that morning, her two Slimes had finally stopped bouncing wildly whenever she walked!
She no longer had to endure the lewd looks cast from certain corners, nor did she have to walk so cautiously while out shopping!
From that day onward, easygoing as she was, she could wander wherever she pleased and take strides as long as she wanted!
"The Slime Bra truly is a great invention!"
Smiling brightly, Ellin found Fischl at the Adventurers' Guild.
"Ellin!! That outfit! Wow!! You look so beautiful today!"
Fischl cried out the moment she saw Ellin!
She tossed aside her work, came over to link her arm through Ellin's, and pressed herself firmly against her, drawing plenty of envious looks from the surrounding members of the Adventurers' Guild.
Fischl was remarkably crafty. She was just like a man who deliberately dragged out a date until the dormitory gates closed so he could take his girlfriend to a hotel.
She deliberately chose a commission that required traveling an enormous distance, then pulled Ellin along to complete it with her.
By the time they finished the commission and returned to Mondstadt, it was almost midnight.
Then Fischl deliberately invited Ellin to stay at her house and pulled her along to bathe together.
Finally, she went to bed with Ellin.
The funniest part was that, after their bath, Ellin had wanted to change into a nightdress, but Fischl absolutely refused. She wanted Ellin to sleep in the White-Mist Garment, Star-Blue Skirt.
Then, like an octopus, she wrapped herself around Ellin, who was still wearing the White-Mist Garment, Star-Blue Skirt, and drifted blissfully off to sleep.
In her sleep, she even mumbled things like, "Worth it, so worth it..." "Ellin looks so cute in the White-Mist Garment, Star-Blue Skirt. I want to hold her forever." And, "Little Ellin is the cutest in the world!"
As the two girls drifted off to sleep together...
Deep within Stormterror's Lair in the Mondstadt region, a massive azure dragon opened its scarlet eyes at the calls of several Abyss Mages!
