Chapter 484: Coralspire Orchid?
After Lillian had an earful from Viesta, who was reasonably angry at her, it was the Captain’s turn. But, he seemed more understanding of her situation, since he began to empathise with her need to fight to calm down.
"Look, matey. Fighting to relieve yar stress is certaintly a way to calm yarself down. But yar must at least rein in yar emotions to know which fight yar can win and cannot win when yar are in that state of mind."
Lillian rubbed the back of her head, although she did agree with the man, no other monsters around her would’ve pushed her that far to awaken the cutlass.
When it got to Emilio’s turn, she kind of just smiled through it. Compared to the two before, his voice was much softer. She wasn’t sure if it was because he was into her or not, but she still appreciated it, nonetheless.
After they had been through all of that, everyone decided to congratulate Lillian on her win through a feast.
What were they going to eat? Well...
"Y-you guys..." The left corner of Lillian’s lips twitched as she found the roasted body of the Beach Lord resting over a large bonfire with the help of some vines.
Ah... She did remember she hadn’t summoned back her monsters.
Lillian looked off to the side and found the Beetle licking its lips as it stared at the Beach Lord. Her face twitched a bit, but she then sighed; the Beetle did do quite a bit of work, so it deserves it...
"Come in, Lillian! Show us which part you want to eat first, we’ll give ya first pickings!" Viesta called over.
Hearing that, Lillian smiled a bit. It seemed that they were going to have crab for breakfast...

"Burp... E-excuse me..."
After retrieving the Gem for the temple from within the arena, and with the help of the Captain and Viesta, everyone began making their ascent to the top of the Beach God’s temple.
Viesta chuckled as she carried Lillian, "No worries, ya full, right?"
"Definitely... I think it was a mistake to let you guys keep shoving its meat down my throat..." Lillian held a hand over her mouth.
"Hahaha!" Viesta laughed before calming down. "Today is the 2nd of May, right? The day you’re gonna get us out of here. How are you really feeling about it? I know you felt a bit anxious about it from yesterday..."
Lillian smiled wryly as she looked away from Viesta’s gaze. In all honesty, she REALLY didn’t want to talk about yesterday. She felt so embarrassed with the way she acted...
However.
"I’m still a bit anxious, but... Not as much as last night... Sorry about that, by the way, I didn’t mean to dump all of that on you." Lillian muttered shyly, rubbing the back of her neck.
"You really don’t need to say sorry for that." Viesta smiled, focusing on her wings, which may be struggling a bit to carry the weight of two people.
"There are some out there that keep those feelings bottled up inside and never tell anyone about it. Although you might feel yourself being embarrassed, it was good thing you told me, otherwise... Your bottle would’ve shattered. Get what I mean?"
Lillian smiled, grateful for the advice and the comfort. Just as she was about to respond, she realised that they were now at the top.
Being let down, Lillian looked around. Like the Cliff God’s temple, the top of this temple was decorated with furniture, albeit more crude. ’Probably because the Cruscans only had one hand for these kinds of things.’
Lillian noticed in the corners of her eyes that the Captain seemed to be looking for something important. She smirked at this and immediately got to moving.
He was looking to see if there was another Affinity Pill up here as well!
’Unfortunately for him, though, I already know where it is!’
After sticking her hand down a crude stone jar that was filled with bones, Lillian rummaged through it.
Ignoring the bones and making use of her slender hand, she managed to feel the shape of a pill in between her fingers. For such an important pill, they hid it in the most inconspicuous places.
Lillian quickly stored it and pulled her hand out from the jar, washing it with water before moving behind the pillar.
’Should I give this pill to Marionette?’ Lillian thought a bit but then shook her head. The moment Marionette gets out of her surgery, her affinity would have increased by a lot as well.
’Should I take it myself, then...?’
She thought deeply about this matter before deciding to put the thought aside. It wasn’t that important right now.
What was important, though, was the flower growing out of a pot made of sandstone with water inside.
Its shape was similar to an orchid, but with a twisted stem. But the special part about it was the fact that it was made entirely out of coral.
It had ruffled petals like a Cattleya Orchid, and the base of the flower sprouted outwards in branches that resembled a Coral Cactus.
The way that the flower transitioned occasionally from a coral pink to a deep magenta gave it an elegant and hypnotising impression. It also gave off a mystical feel as a faint water vapour was exuded from the pores in the flower’s stem.
Once pulling out the flower and minding her hand so she didn’t prick herself, she looked at its description.
==
[Item Name: Coralspire Orchid]
[Item Description: A mystical flower that was given as a gift to the Beach God by the Cruscans, who found it washed onto their shore after a horrid storm. This flower has medicinal properties that help the consumer’s mana; the main property being that it gives them a sense of serenity.]

Lillian read the description and fidgeted with the stem of the flower, pinching it as a determined look in her eyes shone. She had finally gathered everything needed for the medicine.
