Chapter 2402: Iluna, Emilia, and Ajelina

Ajelina took Galina to change clothes, while Miss Sylvia carried Xia De's arm and prepared to attend the banquet, leaving only the words "pink-white" and "also looks good" of the young witch on the deck.

At six o'clock in the evening, the banquet belonging to Xia De and the ladies was ready. Iluna, who was going to stay here tonight, also arrived in time, and even Sister Daifulin, who usually didn't attend such occasions, actually came to the banquet hall on the ship.

The bright lights illuminated the ship's cabin, and the piano music made the sound of high heels hitting the floor very charming.

The banquet still adopted the buffet dinner method. The rich food in the pure silver plates was still steaming, and "Third Seat" Xivi Aurora, "Fifth Seat" Megan/Audrey Edwards, "Seventh Seat" Galina Cavendish, "Ninth Seat" Vanessa Benanis, "Tenth Seat" Bella Belindell, and "Twelfth Seat" Emma Sylvia were all present.

Six great witches and five witch apprentices, Tifa, Matilda, Margaret, Miss Swift, and Miss Haley Aurora, could already represent half of the members of the contemporary 【Witch Council】.

Miss Eilese sighed at this "grand occasion" on the side, and then soon joined the queue of waiting to dance with Xia De.

The little unicorn was another focus of this pre-war banquet, because in addition to witches, witch apprentices, and girls like Siris, Luweiya, and Dorothy, other follower girls were also invited to the banquet, so the little unicorn caused quite a sensation.

It was a bit scared at first, fortunately Emilia had been accompanying it. And when little Liana found that once she was surrounded by the crowd, not only was there constant fruit to eat, but the cat would definitely not approach, she also began to enjoy the atmosphere of the banquet.

As for Xia De, he was of course very busy. From the moment the girls of the opera troupe played the first note, he was trapped in the encirclement of the girls.

The dance party would start in a while, but this didn't prevent the girls from crowding in front of Xia De to frequently play "drinking games" with him. However, with the physical fitness of Xia De and the female sorcerers, even if they drank industrial alcohol directly, they didn't need to worry about getting drunk or poisoned, let alone the champagne and red wine that tasted quite good.

As for the so-called "banquet drinking games," the more elegant ones involved talking about classical literature, and those who couldn't answer had to drink; the not-so-elegant ones involved drawing cards, and those who drew the same card had to drink cross-cupped wine or other ways... Xia De lost seven times in a row, and he really suspected that the young girls had cheated.

But not everyone gathered around Xia De. For example, Luweiya and Miss Belindell left the banquet hall mysteriously, probably to divine something important; Miss Aurora and Miss Eilese lined up waiting to dance with Xia De in a while, and were talking with the mermaid girls invited to the ship at the table.

Siris and Tifa, Matilda were talking mysteriously in the corner, not knowing what they were talking about. The three girls were all blushing, occasionally looking at Xia De in the crowd. Margaret, who passed by them wanting to talk to Lexia, felt that they might be discussing some food.

Sister Daifulin just sat there. The temperament of the nun wearing an eye patch made the girls not dare to approach her.

Iluna originally wanted to take the initiative to say a few words to the nun, but seeing the "Witch of the Earth" Vanessa Benanis take the initiative to walk to the nun's side with a wine glass, she turned to talk to Ajelina who had just sat down.

Ajelina was wearing a beautiful red little dress. This was the only set of banquet evening dress long skirt she brought from the Yodel Palace, because Lexia thought Ajelina's purpose in coming to Moon Bay was not to attend the banquet.

The little princess was very cautious at first, because Dorothy was also here, which meant her sister was also here. But when she noticed the blonde, blue-eyed writer was sitting on the sofa with Margaret and talking very seriously, she quietly picked up a glass of champagne from the table.

Speaking of which, she was seventeen this year and had already come of age, but Lexia had never allowed her to drink. Queen Diana, who had been pregnant for seven months, didn't manage it as strictly, but Ajelina generally didn't dare to pick up a wine glass in front of her mother.

Having the opportunity now, she carried the champagne to the quietest position at the end of the long table, and then saw Iluna resting her chin on her hand, looking at the bustle of this banquet very boredly.

Iluna glanced at the wine glass she was holding:

"Good evening. If you want to ask me why I am sitting here, my answer is that I am waiting for the dance party to start. Besides, I have plenty of time to be alone with Xia De, no need to join the fun now."

She was actually embarrassed to go over directly. Iluna Beias didn't have the boldness of the witch apprentices... Looking at it this way, the witches of the Sixth Era were not without merits.

Ajelina had met Iluna more than once, but the two were actually not very familiar. So she also greeted Iluna politely, then carefully tidied her dress and sat down with the wine glass.

Fortunately, the atmosphere was not awkward, because the elf girl with pointed ears also walked over with a glass of juice excitedly:

"Little Liana is really popular, but after returning to the academy, she really needs to lose weight. Maybe I can ask Xia De for advice. Xia De's cat, Little Mia, keeps her figure very well. You see, this banquet is really lively. I have never attended a banquet on a ship. Will you also dance with Xia De in a while? He is really popular~"

Emilia was the oldest of the three, but in terms of race, she was the youngest. Coincidentally, she met Iluna and Ajelina in Tobesk in the first half of the summer vacation. Although she had a better relationship with the little princess, she actually had a good relationship with Iluna too.

With Emilia mediating the relationship, the three young girls chatted quite happily before long.

Iluna came from the church, Ajelina was a royal princess, and Emilia grew up and lived in Saint-Byron. The backgrounds of the three were completely different, but once they started chatting, they found that they were actually quite compatible.

So for different reasons, they didn't participate in the lively banquet activities afterward, which was actually very tempting, as every great witch took out their own treasures as prizes.

It was just that when the dance party started, the girls who were lined up in different orders stood up reservedly, indicated to their companions that they were leaving for a while, and then walked toward Xia De with their skirts in their hands.

The three danced a dance with Xia De respectively, and then continued to chat about their lives and past events.

So unknowingly, the time had already reached the late night of this Saturday. The violin music had stopped, Xia De had long been pulled away by someone, and the girls attending the banquet had also returned to their respective posts.

Sunday was only a few hours away, and most people definitely wouldn't sleep tonight.

Iluna and the other two didn't want to rest for the time being. Although the banquet had ended and only a few maids responsible for cleaning were cleaning up here, they were still sitting at the end of the long table chatting happily.

The table was covered with late-night snacks and teapots and wine glasses. Ending the elf girl's topic about "the elf dormitory of Saint-Byron," the night was already deep, and the three of them picked up the wine glasses and teacups in front of them, suddenly feeling a little lonely and bored.

"Oh, Iluna, there is one thing I forgot to tell you."

The elf girl with pointed ears said suddenly:

"You asked me to help investigate Xia De's staff and 'Yggdrasil'. I already have the result. That word probably means World Tree. Xia De's staff is probably a branch of the World Tree. This is not common, and I don't know where he got it."

Iluna's eyes lit up, and she could almost confirm that among the conditions for finally saving Xia De told to her by "If," "resurrecting dead things" referred to Xia De's staff.

"But how to resurrect the World Tree?"

She was immediately frightened by her own thoughts, and then frowned, feeling that this condition seemed even harder to achieve.

Ajelina didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but seeing that no one proposed to leave the table, the red-haired little princess looked left and right, and seeing that Dorothy was indeed no longer here, she boldly proposed to her two good friends:

"Everyone has gone to work or rest. Since there is nothing to do before midnight, do you want to play some exciting games?"

She was full of excitement, and the elf girl with pointed ears' eyes lit up:

"Do you want to sneak into your sister's room and try on her clothes?"

Iluna put her worries aside for a while; that was a puzzle that needed to be solved after the Battle of Moon Bay. She covered her mouth and laughed, while Ajelina looked up slightly:

"Emilia, do you think this is exciting? No, no, we are not children anymore. We... let's play a drinking game! It's the kind where one person says something they have done, and others have to follow and drink a sip of wine if they have done it too!"

She deliberately lowered her voice for the second half of the sentence.

"I have heard of this game from the dwarf uncle in the tavern!"

The elf girl's face was flushed:

"But the gnome bartender in the tavern never sells wine to me. He said that compared to my few coins, he is more worried about having his liquor business license canceled by the academy."

"Sounds like a very good game."

Iluna also said with a smile, infected by the two girls who were "younger" than her:

"I'll go get the wine, but we can't drink too much. If we are discovered, Xia De will definitely scold you."

She put herself in a position that was more "mature" than Emilia and Ajelina, and then went to communicate with the maid lady happily, and successfully brought back three clean glass goblets and the red wine left over from the banquet.

Doing this kind of "exciting" thing in the late night after the banquet ended, hiding it from others, made them very excited. Emilia, who was not allowed to drink in the academy, didn't even care about the little unicorn that had wandered back to rest alone, and personally took the wine bottle and poured half a glass of wine for everyone.

Thus, the three picked up the glass cups and clinked them in the air, and everyone laughed very happily. The maid ladies who were cleaning naturally noticed the actions of the three girls, and all shook their heads with a smile, not stopping them. ===== CHAPTER 2403 =====
