Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Elisa sat down over the chair in her house’s garden, sipping on some lemonade, wearing a cute summer dress and a summer hat. She looked around and at the sky, then sighed. It was already pretty late, and the dinner she and her mom were going to share today was cold.

“…”

Her butler, Steiner, looked at her with pity, while the rest of the maid servants in the house, watching from afar, looked rather sad for the young lady as well.

“Young Lady, perhaps it would be a better idea to wait for your mother until tomorrow?”

“But Steiner, she said she was coming today!”

“Y-Young lady…”

Elisa looked frustrated and sad, biting her lips as she usually did when she got really angry. But then she stopped after she started bleeding a bit and started crying in silence.

“L-Lady Elisa…!”

Steiner couldn’t help but feel completely heartbroken the moment he saw his bright, adorable young lady cry like that.

He slowly walked to her side, patting her shoulders, afraid of hugging her due to her status and everything.

“Why doesn’t mom love me, Steiner?”

“S-She does love you, young lady! It’s just that the lady…”

“She doesn’t love me!”

The maidservants glanced at the scene in silence, covering their faces with their hands, most looked very sad either way.

“If she loved me, don’t you think she would’ve come here already? That we would have enjoyed dinner together?!”

“S-She said that her trip here was delayed for… personal reasons, please don’t lose hope. I am sure that she’s…”

Steiner was trying to make excuses and calm her down, but it only worsened things.

Elisa continued crying, hitting her own legs angrily.

“Why doesn’t mom and dad love me? Why did they have to leave me?! Why… why did they left me alone…?”

“T-That’s… I mean, they had their own reasons and…!”

“Why doesn’t my own parents or anybody love me?!”

As Elisa continued crying, Steiner gritted his teeth, as he shed a tear and then hugged her.

“Young lady, please stop saying such things!”

“Ah…!”

“Y-You’re… you’re like a daughter to me! I… I love you as family as well! Please… Please don’t cry!”

“S-Steiner…”

“I’m so sorry your parents are this way… I wish… I really wish I could do something! But… I am merely a butler; I am just as helpless as you are…”

Elisa slowly looked at Steiner while crying, and then she hugged him tightly.

“Steiner!”

“Young lady…”

Her butler happily hugged her back, if her parents weren’t going to be present here, he swore from the moment he saw her as a little toddler that he would take care of her.

The other maidservants, all people that Elisa knew very well, walked to her side and also tried to comfort her.

“We might only be servants but…”

“We’ve been working here for years.”

“To us, you’re like a daughter or a little sister, Master Elisa.”

“Please don’t feel lonely… If your parents are not here, we will… do anything we can to comfort you.”

“Everyone…” Elisa cried a bit, as she cleared her tears. “Thanks… I… I’m grateful you’re all here…”

As Elisa felt happy she had her servants by her side and hugged Steiner to feel a bit better, her butler patted her head.

“Young lady, how about we prepare you something for dinner before bed? The food here has gone cold by now.”

“Ah, no, just reheat it! I’ll eat it… This is the food all of you made, so I cannot bring myself to just throw it away. Wasting food is not good either… Auntie Elayne taught me that in the world there’s a lot of people with hunger, throwing away food would be disrespectful to them.”

“I-I see… It seems the mother of your friend has influenced you quite a lot. Lady Elayne is indeed a good woman though, yes. She might be a good role model even. Very well, let’s reheat the food. Let’s prepare some dessert too, anything you want, young lady?”

“Um… I don’t know, perhaps cheesecake and ice cream?”

“Very well.”

After that, Elisa enjoyed a meal with her butler and her maidservants, sitting at the same table, they felt embarrassed, but Elisa didn’t feel as lonely anymore, and her servants enjoyed the delicious meals which they could only dream of eating normally.

“Thank you so much for everything, that was delicious… I shall go to bed now. Please do the same as well and rest.”

Elisa acted more maturely after she cried the first time, walking back to her large room rather calmly, and looking at a photo.

“…”

In the photo, she was with her mother and her father, who were beautiful and handsome, smiling happily with her adorable little self, when she was only a toddler.

“Haaah…”

She sighed, sitting over her bed and then resting, looking at the ceiling in silence, and checking her phone.

There was a message from her mother she hadn’t read before.

[Elisa]: [Hi mom how are you?] (Read 2 Months Ago.)

[Elisa]: [Hello mom good morning!] (Read 2 Months Ago.)

[Elisa]: [Mom when are we meeting again?] (Read 1 Month Ago.)

[Elisa]: [Are you coming to visit?] (Read 1 Month Ago.)

[Elisa]: [Hi mom how are you?] (Read 12 Days Ago.)

[Elisa]: [Mom? I was looking at older pictures of you and dad, and I remembered that we used to go to a park together! I wonder if we could go one day? When you come visit me?] (Read 11 Days Ago)

[Elisa]: [Good morning mom! I hope you have a nice day…] (Read 5 Days Ago)

[Mom]: [Hello Elisa! I have finally managed to find some time, so I will come to visit you this Wednesday! Let’s enjoy some time together, dear.]

[Elisa]: [Thank you mommy I love you!] (Read 3 Days Ago)

[Elisa]: [Good morning mom I’m preparing for tomorrow! What dress do you think is the best?] (Read 1 Day Ago)

[Elisa]: [It’s finally today! I’m waiting for you mom!] (Read 7 Hours Ago)

[Elisa]: [Mom are you coming?] (Read 5 Hours Ago)

[Elisa]: [Mom it’s gotten pretty late… Are you coming?] (Read 4 Hours Ago)

[Elisa]: [Mom?] (Read 3 Hours Ago)

[Mom]: [I’m so sorry Elisa! I had to delay my trip there because of some personal reasons… I might arrive in the following days!]

“…”

Elisa grabbed her phone tightly, about to throw it into the ground and shatter it.

And yet…

There was another message that just arrived.

[Elena]: [Hey Elisa, there’s something mom’s planning to do and…]

Elisa read through the message, slowly learning that they were having a trip to another realm so Elayne could create a new contract with Katherine, the Forest Fairy that lived in her domain.

“Huh? A trip to another realm?!”

She felt shocked but also rather excited, it was much better than anything she had thought about, and it was her friend that was inviting her!

However, her mother might come in the following days, being absent for so long…

Maybe it would…

“…”

Elisa sighed for a moment, and then typed a message.

[Elisa]: [Sure! I’m in! Let’s go! Is there anything you need me to bring along, Elena? Will Monica and Anna also come with us? I hope so!]

[Elena]: [Yeah they’re all coming. Alright, I’ll tell mom.]

Elisa smiled as she slept happily, looking forward to tomorrow.
