55. ELYSIAN REALM: INTO THE DEEP [2]

========================
========================
IN THE ELYSIAN REALM...
========================
========================
Mei makes her way to Elysian Realm once more.
After retrieving Elysia's signet, she makes her way to the two anchors waiting for her...

Bodhi.
Infinity.

Activating the Bodhi anchor, she goes through and makes it to the next area.
After defeating the two waves, Mei retrieves the Bodhi signet and makes her way to the two anchor points.

??? (Elysia).
Reverie.

Activating the ??? anchor, Mei makes it to the next area.
Just like the last anchor point, she defeats both enemy waves, retrieves the ??? signet, and makes her way to the next anchor points.

Gold.
Reverie.

Activating the Reverie anchor, Mei makes it to the next area.
Once again, Mei takes out the two enemy waves, retrieves a Reverie signet, and is now making her way to one single anchor point...

Leading to Phyllis's Shop.

Mei activates the anchor and walks through.

...
...
...

A few seconds later, Mei makes it to her destination.
Within her peer vision, the familiar shop owner was relaxing on the counter of her shop with her legs crossed.

Mei:  'Pardo, she's in the shop as I thought.'
Mei thinks to herself, making her way towards the shop and the shop owner.

Pardofelis:  "Oh?"
Pardofelis:  "Hiya, Mei onee-chan!"
Pardofelis:  "It's good to see you again!"
Pardofelis:  "What might I interest you in today?"
Pardofelis:  "You know what?"
Pardofelis:  "I just finished stocktaking and found some leftover items that are a few years old."
Pardofelis:  "I'm selling them as a discount price, so..."

Mei:  "One item does interest me."
Mei:  "It's that gold penchant."
Mei:  "Looks special."

Pardofelis: "You're a sharp shopper!"
Pardofelis: "This is one of the best-selling items back then."
Pardofelis: "It sure isn't easy for me to hold on to it until now!"

Mei: "Ara, is that so?"

Pardofelis: "Totally!"
Pardofelis: "Flame-Chasers and successors have all purchased things that look rather useless but strangely familiar before."
Pardofelis: "Trust your intuition!"

Mei: "It looks quite familiar indeed."
Mei: "It just so happens that I promised Raven to find the penchant she lost."
Mei: "A gold pendant with a sapphire embedded in it."
Mei: "They look exactly alike."

Pardofelis: "Er..."
Pardofelis: "Huh?"
Pardofelis staggers a bit before continuing on.
Pardofelis: "W-what a coincidence!"
Pardofelis: "I didn't know Raven onee-chan has an eye for jewelry, and a fine one at that!"

Mei: "Yes, how very convenient."
Mei coos in a smooth yet stern tone.

Pardofelis: "...L-look, Mei onee-chan, you should drop the doubts!"
Pardofelis: "This is the last one!"
Pardofelis: "If you want it, I can give you a discount, but don't tell anyone about it!"
Pardofelis offers as if in a rush and pressed the pendant into Mei's hand.
