Whispering Poems

Chapter 3883 Victory Celebration Party
"I'm sorry, the King suit is [Duke Galina of Saladil, Star of Delareon]. Miss Bell, your Moon 11 [Urban Legend: The Murderer in the Mist] will need to roll a die to try your luck before activating its effect."

"Sigh~"

The girls watching gasped, whispering about the appearance of this one-of-a-kind Rhodes card.

Although there was a light snowfall on Monday, the island enjoyed good weather again on Tuesday.

It was 2 PM, and the ship was the Glorious Messenger, anchored in the southeastern waters of Fatummst Island. Although it was no longer winter, it was still impossible to hold a swimsuit event on the beach.

Therefore, the victory party after the Battle of Destiny was held on the Radiant Messenger. It's unclear what kind of help Miss Elaiser received from Sylvia and Winnie, but now the ship's maid can freely control the size of the cabins.

For this gathering, she connected the banquet hall, indoor swimming pool, artificial hot spring, kitchen, and other facilities inside the ship, and directly connected the exit of the banquet hall to the deck, thus creating the main venue for the event.

However, there were no "parties" in the strict sense at that time, so this celebration and enjoyment that lasted from lunch until night should be called a "victory celebration banquet".

Not only the witches, Miss Elizabeth, Winnie, and Sirius, but also the witch apprentices and followers who participated in the final battle were allowed to participate in the event.

Galina specially brought Tifa from Topskoye, and Emilia and Iluna certainly wouldn't miss it. Even Lacey and Dorothy appeared on the ship; they used the "Miracle Ink" for the first time to alter their fate, allowing them to appear together again today.

Of course, Lacey didn't forget her sister, Agelina, who also came to the ship, but the little princess was changing clothes and hadn't arrived yet.

Aside from the Red Butterfly sisters, Sister Daphne, Margaret, and Daniste, almost all of Shad's girls were present.

At this moment, Iluna and Emilia were soaking in the swimming pool on the ship. If the girls looked up slightly, they could see Shad sitting on a small stool by the hot spring, playing Rhodes with Miss Bell, whose skin was frighteningly white. There were also many girls who liked to play cards standing around.

They excitedly discussed the current card game, the conditions for the Prophet's Association to print the Rhodes card separately, and the powerful effect of the [Genesis - Fate] card they had just played.

Since it was a swimming pool, the girls were naturally wearing swimsuits. Thanks to the popularity of seaside vacation culture in this era, and the widespread belief that "sea bathing" was beneficial to health, swimsuits existed in this era.

However, the swimsuits still haven't broken free from the core framework of "conservative, heavy, and fully covered," at least the swimsuits worn by Emilia and Iluna are of this style.

They had never felt anything was wrong with these swimsuits before, until today, or rather, until ten minutes ago when Iluna and Emilia came out of the changing room together and bumped into Lacey and Dorothy, who were arm in arm. Only then did they realize what "swimsuit" really meant.

The young women appeared to be chatting amongst themselves, but they would occasionally steal glances at Lacia and Dorothy, who were laughing and talking not far away. The writer and princess's swimsuits used very little material and covered a pitifully small area; they were the kind of swimsuits absolutely unsuitable for wearing in public.

But this didn't stop Iluna and Emilia from sensing that their swimsuits were quite avant-garde. Although the design was bold, it perfectly highlighted the girls' "advantages" and style. They looked like simple underwear, but the material and trim were completely different from underwear.

This is a wonderful outfit that transcends the aesthetics of this era.

Comparing themselves to what they were wearing, both Iluna and Emilia unusually felt "inferiority complex about their clothes".

Aside from Lacey and Dorothy, the other witches also wore similar styles of clothing. A small number of the other girls were also quite daring, but most remained conservative, wearing only yukatas meant for hot springs.

"I am coming!"

Just then, Adelina's voice came, and then they saw the little princess in a red swimsuit jump into the pool.

Lacey glanced in their direction, refraining from scolding her sister on this celebratory day. When the red-haired Adelina emerged from the water, laughing, Emilia pointed at her with a look of utter disdain, as if she were a traitor.
"The clothes you're wearing."

The little princess's face was flushed, and she glanced out of the corner of her eye at Shad, who was engrossed in playing cards on the shore, watching to see if he was looking over:

"You're pretty daring, aren't you? There's a bit too little fabric, but it's really beautiful! I picked out several pieces before choosing this one. What are you all wearing?"

"Where did you get these clothes?"

This dress was designed by Sylvia's tailors, who were inspired by Shad's "Weakly Locked Cinderella" dress-changing scene.

Yesterday, the Space Witch delivered these novel swimsuits to the ship, but Emilia and Iluna didn't receive the news, which is why they appeared here "dowdy in their old-fashioned clothes".

After receiving the news from Adelina, the two dragged Adelina, who wanted to play in the water, to the changing room. Soon after, they returned in swimsuits that were made of very little material but were very pretty.

Wearing these clothes was a novel experience. The three of them huddled in a corner of the pool, talking quietly. Adelina asked the pointy-eared elf:
"How is it? With [Miracle], [Sprout], and the gift of fate combined, is it working?"

Both rings originated from Stella, while the so-called "gift of destiny" was a gift Emilia received after completing the entire story of her destiny as the chosen one. This gift is a unique power, which Emilia can use to transform into corresponding magical arts according to her own will.

Although the magic could not be extremely powerful, this gift was still quite precious.

Thus, the three forces of destiny combined, and Emilia used them all to "revive the World Tree".

Currently, there are two World Trees in the material world, one dead and one alive. The living one is a sapling inside the Crystal Throne, but that is not their target.
What died were the Staff of Yggdrasil in Shad's hands and the Staff of Trees preserved in Emilia's soul. The three powers have now been given to the split of the staff in Shad's hands by her, which is why Iluna and the little princess asked about the situation.

Emilia nodded firmly:

"The power of fate is extremely useful! That sudden burst of vitality even made flowers bloom on my head. Granny Kisara even suspected that I had lost control while practicing magic."

Now, a glimmer of life has appeared in the tree branch that is now one with my lifeline. No, the tree hasn't fully recovered yet, but the fact that it can retain even that trace of life is already quite incredible. The power of time will continue to nourish that branch, and then we'll think of some other methods; I believe it will definitely recover.”

Iluna and Adelina both smiled, then the red-haired princess suddenly scooped up a handful of water and splashed it at Iluna. Iluna exclaimed in surprise:
"What is this doing?"

"Now is the time to have fun. If we keep gathering here and talking, people will get suspicious."

"Oh, Adelina, Emilia, I'm not that childish as to have a water fight. You two are going too far! Watch this! Don't run away! I'm a very good swimmer!"

The girls in the pool laughed and splashed water at each other. The water was about to splash onto Mia, who was lying at Shad's feet, but it landed less than a centimeter away from the cat.

Today is a day for celebration and revelry in honor of the victory, and no one would complain that they are too noisy. Apart from a few maids, everyone on the ship is enjoying this rare opportunity to relax.

Meals kept being served from the kitchen and were placed everywhere, while girls in various swimsuits walked around chatting and laughing.

The weather was nice, and everyone was in a good mood. Luvia and Bella had a fishing competition on the deck, but Sylvie won. Everyone said that Sylvie could talk to the fish and therefore cheated, while the Great Witch of Light repeatedly stated that she did not possess that strange ability.

Vanessa, arm in arm with Silris and dressed in a stylish swimsuit, wanted Flora to paint an oil painting of them for her collection. The artist, of course, didn't want to work while everyone else was having fun, but she made another request:
"If you weren't wearing swimsuits, I might consider it."

After all, she was already famous for painting these kinds of "celestial" works.

When Galina and Tifa appeared in the hot spring cabin, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The Duchess initially thought everyone was attracted by Tifa's beautiful dress, but later she overheard Rita, who was also soaking in the hot spring, whispering to Stella that Tifa's figure was exaggerated. Sylvia even came over to discuss with Tifa whether her maid-style swimsuit was comfortable to wear.

The duchess then realized what was attracting attention.

Grandma Cassandra remained in the banquet hall, accompanied by Claire and Megan. The two younger witches, however, hadn't changed into their swimsuits; instead, they were discussing future plans with Grandma Cassandra, as well as how to deal with Adele, who was gradually getting closer to the truth.

Of course, Shad didn't spend the whole afternoon playing cards. He played with Miss Bell for a while, then lent his deck to the excited girl. Afterward, he went around the ship to talk to the witches. He was free to move around like this until dinner.

So Shad went to the deck first, chatting with Luvia about the broken sword of the Calamity Ritual while watching the girls fish. While Sylvia was arguing with Bella about whether or not to talk to the fish, Luvia gave her a wink, and Shad pulled Sylvia away.

He then led Sylvie into a random room, where the brown-haired witch gestured for Shad to hug her. Once Shad did hug her, Sylvie reached down to her crotch—

Just like she did back then in Coldwater Harbor.
