Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

This was what trading information was all about, baby.

She thought that by doing me that favor I would owe her back?

Hehe, now we’re even!

After all, seeing the power of an Angelic Halo, one wielded by a human no less, is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Therefore, it is valuable information and knowledge, and it seems they treat this as some sort of powerful treasure even if it isn’t even physical.

Once done with the conversations, Rose and Albert walked away to quickly tell Reagan about our expedition.

Meanwhile, Rita, Lily, Jenny, Anna, and Elisa arrived, all five girls got here inside of Elisa’s limousine, which she used to come here in a flash.

When I opened the door, they greeted me happily.

“Hey girls! You’re here! Welcome back!” I greeted them, opening the door for everyone to get inside.

“Elayne! Are we really going to another Realm?! That’s nuts! But I’m all for it anyway! It’s like a one-in-a-lifetime type of thing, right?” She laughed, kissing my cheek and hugging me.

“Yeah!” I hugged her back, kissing her cheek as well. “It might be a bit too dangerous though, so I hesitated on bringing you along bestie…”

“Hahah! What are you even talking about? I’m all for dangerous stuff like this, we do it all the time anyway, so don’t act like we’re super safe people or something,” she giggled.

“R-Rita, are you becoming addicted to danger and adrenaline by any chance?” I wondered. “That’s bad…”

“I-I’m not addicted to anything you little…!” She started hugging me even tighter than before.

“Aaagh! L-Let me go… Ugh…!”

After she let go of me once I asked for mercy, I greeted the rest of my friends.

“Lily! I’m glad you could make it here,” I said. “Are you sure about this?”

“Yeah I don’t really mind! I was feeling bored either way,” Lily said. “We’re a lot of people too, right? And we’re plenty strong, so as long as we stay together I doubt there will be that many difficulties.”

“Hmm, I suppose you’re not wrong,” I nodded. “Good point!”

“Yo!” Jenny greeted me like the young’uns do nowadays. “So we’re going to some crazy place? I guess I’m all for it, I was feeling kind of bored, and I wasn’t going to play that game again for a while either way.”

“Y-Yeah, don’t talk about it so relaxedly though, Jenny, it is not a summer vacation trip…” I sighed. “It might get dangerous.”

“Ah it’s fine~” She shrugged her shoulders. “As Lily said, we’re a lot of people, as long as we stay together there’s hardly any danger!”

“You’re being so relaxed I’m growing a bit worried now…” I sighed. “Oh well, that’s that for- Ah right! Elisa and Anna, welcome back!”

“Hello Lady Elayne, I am happy to see you again!” Elisa ran to my side and hugged me as if she were my daughter.

“Aww, is that so?” I caressed her golden locks. “Well, I am glad you think that! I-I wasn’t really planning to invite you or Anna, I didn’t want to risk your lives in this trip though…”

“Aha! So that’s why Elena told us and not you, huh?” Elisa wondered. “You shouldn’t be so afraid either way! We are plenty strong ourselves already! Honestly, you should just rely on our strength without hesitation!”

“Without hesitation? But even then it’s a lot of things to do…” I said. “I don’t know, I think it still dangerous… Ah right, have your Physiques and Magic Circles developed so far? I think you’ve grown pretty strong right?”

“Yes we have!” Elisa nodded.

“Yeah,” Anna nodded. “I came here mostly because Elena asked me to… But if you really insist, I suppose I could leave and-“

“Don’t leave…” Elena said, grabbing her arm. “You’re coming with me no matter what.”

“N-No matter what?!” Anna felt slightly afraid of those words, Elena was being serious right now.

“Hm, we’re exploring Avalon and having fun together, it will be a date,” Elena smiled cutely.

“O-Oh!” Anna blushed at her words. “Heheh, fine.”

A date?! Seriously Elena?! We’re going to a dangerous place, completely uncharted territory!

How could you ever believe this is for a date- Ah never mind, I guess it might depend on if we are not attacked instantly by giant spiritual beasts or not.

Katherine will be with us, that might protect us a bit perhaps? She’s a direct servant of Oberon after all.

Well, whatever the case, now that everyone was here, it was time to get some things done, mostly at the forge.

I wanted to reinforce my shield and upgrade it to the next level.

As for my armor? Well I don’t really have any, they’re reinforced clothes with extra stats and such.

And I think those are fine for now, I can always reinforce my defenses with Wooden Armor and Dragon Scales, so I am not that worried.

Aside from my shield, upgrading my friend and family’s weapons should also be a priority, it is what we use to fight after all.

I could probably bring out Armor from what I’ve crafted in Arcadia as well to let them wear it, if things get too dangerous.

For now there’s a lot of weapons I need to upgrade, there’s Rita’s gun, my daughter’s knife, then Anna’s broom staff, Monica’s teddy bear, Lily’s pickaxe, and Jenny’s baseball bat.

So that’s a lot!

I think everyone has a shield as well, so I could probably mass upgrade their shields at the very least, for some extra protection, right?

Alright, let’s get to work, we have to finish this within an hour!

“Alright everyone, before we start making barriers and such, we’re upgrading everyone’s weapons and shields,” I said. “So please come with me, I’ll show you my new Magic Furnace and the Alchemy Cauldron where we can upgrade them.”

“Magic Furnace and Alchemy Cauldron?” Olivia was intrigued. “Oh my, you have such things inside your Domain already, Elayne? I am not surprised!”

“Ah yeah, we do, it’s not quite like you imagine though,” I giggled. “But you could come and check it out if you want, it’s not that big though.”

As we made our way there, she was left surprised, as expected.

“I-I can’t believe this, this is an expertly made Magic Forge! And it is also being powered by a powerful Flame Spirit?!”
