Chapter 160: Woke up but Flanked
Like any other night, a comfortable sleep that was almost dreamless. She fell asleep only to feel asleep and suddenly woke up after a few hours had passed.
Elysia opened her eyes slowly. Her body felt a little heavy but not of something dense, preferably particularly something leaning towards spongy and soft.
Her vision was a little blurry for a moment, and for the umpteenth time, the first thing she saw were strands of golden hair on her face.
She didn't need to find out who owned the golden strands. She glanced briefly at the window curtains, estimating that it was about five in the morning.
The next moment, Elysia tried to get rid of some of the golden hairs on her face, but strangely, her hands were difficult to move. It wasn't like when she woke up in the morning during the last few days, where only one of her hands was caught, but this time, both of them were grabbed and fell as hostages.
It couldn't be helped then. Elysia blew away the strands with a gentle breeze from her mouth. She looked to the right and left. The two girls who had slept at a certain distance, now moved to the middle of this large bed. Right beside her, and flanked her from both sides.
Sera and Lila failed to carry out their duties as the cuddle dolls. They just lay back on the corner of the bed as if they were lying comfortably in the big part of the bed.
'It's still in the early spring, and the temperature is already warm enough. Perhaps, around 15 to 23 degrees Celsius, but they're here looking for a source of warmth? Why my body? The blanket task is sometimes forgotten...' Elysia muttered in her mind as if feeling sorry for the blanket that was still folded up neatly. None of them used it.
She glanced at the clock on the table by the bed, but the sight was blocked by Evelyn, then the clock on the wall being the next solution. A few minutes before five o'clock, Elysia slept no more than four hours, half of the so-called beauty sleep.
"Eve, Ella, let's wake up... It's almost five o'clock... The Blessing Day will start around six, right?" Elysia moved whatever was preventing her from getting up to a sitting position. She lightly shook the two girls that still closed their eyes in comfortable sleep.
Their comfortable position was disturbed, and their warm cuddle doll ran away from its initial place. Still, the pleasant voice of a girl pulled them from dreamland to return to reality.
"Uhh, Ely? Is it five o'clock already?" Evelyn woke up, gently rubbing her eyes.
"Yes, good morning, Eve. It's a few minutes before five." Elysia gave her morning greetings, but the girl closed her eyes again as if waiting for five o'clock sharp.
"So, sleepyhead, time to get up~" Sure, Elysia wouldn't let that happen, she hummed while tickling the sleepyhead who still wanted to sleep a few minutes longer.
"Au, ahh, ahaha, Ely, don't tickle me, pwease, ahaha. I'm going to wake up, yes, I'm up." Evelyn squirmed a little helplessly, her sleepiness disappeared, and she immediately sat up, unable to bear the tickling.
"Mou ~ The new method you used to wake me up, sly."
"Oh? Me, sly, hmm? Want some more tickling? This is a new discovery, hehe..." Elysia grinned with a mischievous expression as she had just found the best way to wake Evelyn up quickly.
"Uh, no, no-no... Good morning, Ely. Please don't tickle me too much. I'm afraid I'll get wet down there if I laugh too much, not in the morning." Evelyn quickly changed her pretend pouty expression to a smile begging for mercy. She caught Elysia's hand before it could intimidate her with a tickling gesture.
"Oh my... Um, okay, I'll be careful the next time I tickle you." With a little surprise, Elysia covered her mouth because of that statement.
For some people, sometimes in the morning, they didn't have complete control of their bodies until they really woke up from their sleep. Elysia needed to be careful, so Evelyn didn't wet herself from laughing, especially in the morning.
After that, Elysia ignored the girl who was puffing out her cheeks. She looked at Ella, the latter had fully opened her eyes, but she was still lying down, smiling with amusement at the two girls in front of her.
"Good morning, Ella."
"Un, good morning, Ely. You got up earlier than me. Good morning to you too, Eve." Ella delivered her morning greetings, immediately sat down after confirming the time.
*beep* *beep*
"Good morning too, Ella." Evelyn returned the morning greetings after turning off the alarm from the clock by the bed.
"How was your experience sleeping in my room? Did you sleep well?" Ella asked curiously. She wanted to know the opinion of her friends who stayed here for the first time.
Excellent in response, Elysia and Evelyn nodded their heads with smiles on their faces.
"Ah, thank goodness... Um, we better get ready, Blessing Day starts at six in the morning, and it's ready to start." Ella invited lightly. She immediately got out of bed and was followed by two other girls.
"We're going to skip our breakfast? A little light breakfast will be fine, right?" Evelyn felt the need to confirm that.
"Of course not, Eve. We'll still eat our light breakfast. Don't worry, hehe..." Ella chuckled softly, then quickly changed into the Priest robe.
At the same time, Evelyn did the same. She immediately changed her clothes without embarrassment.
The two of them were seen wearing only their cute underwear even for a moment, and they didn't feel that anything was wrong.
Even though she was slightly blushing, Elysia also quickly changed her clothes. At the same time, the other two girls were busy arranging their robes. Then, with a simple touch, her hair suddenly fell down neatly as if it had been well combed.
Skilfully and swiftly, she made one long braid and wrapped it around her head as if it were a headband, then tied her hair into a ponytail. Elegant hair styling was taught by Elena last night. At least, starting from now on, her hair was no longer always with her usual long waterfall hairstyle.
"Oh, wow, Ely, you got ready so fast." Evelyn accidentally turned her head towards Elysia when she had just finished tidying up her robe. She was a little surprised, her best friend was neat and ready to go, in such a short time!
"En, want some help with your hair?" Elysia walked over to the window to open the curtains, offering to help.
"Usually, I just let it fall down with a few soft brushes. My hair is fully fluffy. Um, you want to brush mine, Ely?" Evelyn had a little mistaken about it, but she realized it soon... Elysia only offered to help.
"Okay. Ella, I'll borrow your comb." Elysia asked the owner's permission and got permission shortly after from Ella.
"And, Eve, please sit down here." Elysia pointed with both hands to the bench in front of the dressing table.
"Umm, Ely, I just noticed earlier. You're wearing a new hairstyle. You look so graceful now." While enjoying her hair being gently combed, Evelyn complimented her kind best friend.
"Hmm-hmm, thank you."
"Nee, Ely, why are you braiding my hair like that?" Evelyn asked again, not knowing what Elysia was doing to her combed and fluffy hair.
"Today is an important occasion, right? I think you'd look great with a long braid hairstyle, Eve. Um, you don't want that?" Elysia stopped and looked at Evelyn's face in the mirror.
"Ah, no, it's okay. I'm just curious. I just found out you are good at styling your hair, Ely. By all means, please continue. I want to see myself with another hairstyle, hehe..." Evelyn wagged her hand tenderly.
Elysia just smiled and nodded, continuing the work of her fingers to complete. It only took two minutes. With the use of covert magic, Elysia finally finished styling Evelyn's hair.
"Aww, pretty, this feels like another me. This long fluffy braid looks good on me?" Evelyn looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a Priest who looked just like her, even though the one in the mirror was herself.
"Yes, you look beautiful, Eve." Elysia naturally nodded. It was the result of her work that had been trained last night.
"Thank you, Ely."
"Oh my, you two look great with new hairstyles. Um, Ely, can you do mine too?" Ella had just put down three special Priest shoes for them. As she returned and got closer, she also wanted a similarly beautiful hairstyle.
"Sure." Elysia didn't mind it. It was an easy thing for her.
For a little over two minutes after that, Elysia styled Ella's hair in a long braid like Evelyn. It was not made slightly wide with the difference but only pulled behind the head and through the braid afterward.
Hair with a bright color would look nice and clear when braided. Now, the three of them were ready to attend the special weekly event.
